Chapter 1: Old Times

Flying across Ponyville, Nicolas was delighted to see that the world was at peace for now, all the young fillies and colts going to school, everypony being happy at times, and for the first time in over 5 millennia, he gets to finally see his two most favorite princesses; however, he still hasn't forgotten the possibility that his nemesis is here, it seems unlikely but due to the fact that he was also caught in that explosion, he may have also been transported to Equestria, so he was on high alert should he strike. Nicolas sees Canterlot from the distance, and by god, he is surprised that Canterlot has gotten a drastic change from the last time he was here, unless this is the new Canterlot, Nicolas is gonna have to try to get to the new changes done during his absence. As he is about to enter the city, two guards block his entrance to the inner sanctum. 

The guards notice Nicolas and step in front of the gate, "Halt, who goes there?" when they look who is coming, they notice that it was an alicorn. At first sight they were a little surprised but regained their composure. Wondering who this mysterious alicorn is, they ask him what is his name, "Halt, I ask you, what is your name?"

Nicolas notices that they are being cautious around him which he can understand, "Do not worry, guards, for it is I, Nicolas, Guardian of the Universe."

The guards first wondered who he was then over time they find out who he is. They are utterly shocked to find Nicolas, supposedly the last sole surviving alicorn from the alicorn war alive and healthy, they had learned of him during their sessions with the princesses when they asked who their mentor is. The reason why he was given the title 'Guardian of the Universe' was because he has more knowledge of the whole universe than anyone else known to Equestria and he is willing to protect any world that's in danger even at the cost of his life, "My apologies my prince, it has been a while since we have last seen you alive, please enter." 

The guards move out of the way for him to enter. When he enters, he feels like he is from a different era of time, the buildings look extravagant, the people well-dressed, and the castle still looking as grand as ever. When all the people notice him, they are in shock to find another alicorn beside the two princesses and Nyx, people surround around him asking him numerous questions. He forgot that he was gone for such a long time, that he should have expected this coming. Guards come in to separate him from the cheering people so he can walk to the castle without obstacles in the way.

In the castle, both Celestia and Luna hear the people making an uproar about something making them curious as to what's going on. As they are wondering, a guard comes in to give the message.

"Your Majesties, I have great news to share with you."

"You may speak, tell us, what is going on out there?" Celestia looks at Luna wondering if she knows what's going on out there. Luna nods no as she does not know the answer.

"It is someone important to you, he has returned from his 5000 year absence."

Luna and Celestia are shocked that someone they know has returned, but they still wonder who it is. No one they know has been gone for 5000 years, "Tell us, who has returned from his eternal absence?" Luna said with great concern if the person the guard they're talking about is either good or evil.

"It is the 'Guardian of the Universe', Your Majesties."

Luna and Celestia look at each other in, again, still wondering who this 'Guardian of the Universe' is. "Let him enter, we wish to speak with him."

"As you wish." The guard leaves to get Nicolas into the royal hall, "Your Honor, she wishes to speak with you."

"Alright, show me to the royal hall." the guard takes him to the royal hall. While he was heading to the royal hall he noticed a chamber that he never seened before, "Stand your ground guard, I wish to see this," the guard stands still for now. Nicolas goes into the chamber, for some reason, he gets a sense of melancholy and feels a little sad upon entering the chamber. He was baffled as to why he was sad all of a sudden, "(Why am I sad? Was this chamber made for someone special?)" Nicolas was curious about this, but he putted it behind for now and heads for the royal hall losing that sense of melancholy from that chamber. The doors open widely and at first sight, he sees them at their adult age. He gets to finally speak with the two princesses. "Hello, Celestia and Luna. How long has it been since I last spoken my two most favorite princesses?" He walks a few steps getting ready to embrace them but stops to remember that they are not fillies anymore. "Whoops, haha, old habits die hard."

Both princesses look at him with wonder and something triggered their brains. The moment that happened, they are shocked to find out that their long lost uncle and mentor of their parents has returned from his long voyage of his, but are happy at the same time to see him at last, "It is all right, I am just glad that you are as healthy as ever, uncle." Celestia gets a little teary-eyed but holds back the tears

Luna on the other hand didn't hold back the tears and embraced him, "Uncle, how long has it been since we last saw each other?" Luna backs away from him and wipes the tears away.

Nicolas can tell that both are happy to see him making him much more happier, "A long time I guess, how goes the royal duties, I notice you can also control the sun and the moon thanks to your cutie marks?"

They look at their cutie marks with glee, "Yes, we discovered our special talents when Equestria was on the brink of separation, by that time we became rulers of this land," Celestia was delighted to tell him all the events that happened after he was gone, "Uncle, may we please tell you the events that happened while you were gone?"

"Of course, tell me everything that happened while I was gone, I wish to know everything." Nicolas was ready to discover what had happened after 5 millennia of being away from the world he sweared to protect.

"Alright then, do you wish to start off my sister?" 

"No, you start off Tia, I am not in a mood to tell the whole story."

"If you say so sister of mine. Now where to start?"

Inside Canterlot Castle
October 23, 7:30 A.M

As you already know, we were coronated and became princesses of Equestria. At that time, we were still fillies at the time and the three commanders of each race began to teach us things. After the training, we began to build out city at the Everfree Forest, they were some drawbacks to the construction but other wise it was a success. We began the day doing, you know what, haha. At that time the ponies everywhere were living in peace, but not always does the peace last forever. As we were building more cities, chaos happened everywhere we went, we managed to discover who did all of these. Our nemesis, a draconequus named Discord, who was the spirit of chaos and disharmony, was causing all the chaos around Equestria, we tried to stop him, but to no avail. That's when we discovered the Elements of Harmony, ancient relics that gave immeasurable power to those ponies who represent the traits bought by the Elements: Loyalty, Honesty, Laughter, Generosity, Kindness, and last but not least, the strongest of all of them, Magic. We found the Elements under our castle where we found the Tree of Harmony, after we found them we went face to face with Discord. He wasn't surprised about us returning and did a little shenanigan on me. He had my tail in his hands.

Luna was trying to hold back her laughter, but to no avail, "Hahaha, truth be told, I find that funny even though he was the embodiment of chaos." Luna couldn't hold back her laughter from that day.

"Sister!" Celestia was a little surprised to hear that from Luna, then Nicolas came in and laughed to.

"*Laughs hard* oh I am so sorry Celestia, its just I find that very hilarious." He falls on his back and laughs to his heart content. 

Celestia was a little embarrassed about it then after much thought laughed as well, "I guess it was kinda funny." 

All three laughed until their they stopped, "Okay, again, I am so sorry about that. Please continue where you left off."

"All right then, we used the Elements on him to petrify him in his stone prison. At first, he was laughing from seeing our expressions when we were trying to cast it on him. After that, we petrified him and ever since that day things have been going well." Celestia was still a little embarrassed from that, but putted it behind for now so she can continue the story.

After that, peace was beginning to return back to Equestria, we controlled the moon and the sun still to bring them happiness; however, Luna's jealousy began to grew. Day by day, our people enjoyed the day, but at the night, they went into a deep sleep, my sister could not contain her jealousy and began to transform into Nightmare Moon, an entity where my sister's jealousy took over her mind. I tried to stop her, but I didn't want to hurt because she was my sister. After she blasted me with her magic, I had no choice, but to use the Elements of Harmony, to banish her into the moon for 1000 years, I was saddened by a loss of such a good sister, but I had to put that behind me. I decided to control both the moon and the sun so that they can have their days and nights leaving me to be alone without my beloved sister.

Years after that, I manage to find myself a pupil that I can train, her name, was Twilight Sparkle. When I found her trying to cast a spell where she had to hatch a dragon egg, she tried everything she knew to her knowledge, but to no avail, until something amazing happened. If I recall right, a magic surge happened to Twilight that, not only hatched the baby dragon egg but made it grew quickly into an adult dragon, made all the teachers there float, and made her parents into plants, only when I touched her and she saw me did the surge stop, I was surprised to see that a filly like her was able to do all that, and I asked to be my protege, she looked at her parents and they nodded yes as they are proud of her, she accepted. I wasn't sure what to do after I got her as an apprentice, but I taught her all that I know from my parents. 

"Hey Celestia, would this 'Twilight Sparkle' be a unicorn that is purple and owns a library?"

"Yes, do you know her?"

"Not a lot, just only heard and seen her. Nothing else but that."

"Really, maybe once this is over, I can arrange a meeting so you can meet her."

"I would like that. Please continue."

As I was, she was reaching adult age and I was getting ready to meet her when she delivered me a message via by dragon's breath. Oh I almost forgot, that dragon of hers she hatched ended up being her loyal servant, she named him Spike and I was okay with the name. I enchanted his fire breath to send me letters should Twilight wish to tell me something. The letter she gave me said this.

My Dearest Teacher,

My continuing studies of pony magic has led me to discover that we are on a brink of disaster, that something really bad is going to happen. For you see, the mystical mare on the moon is in fact Nightmare Moon, and she is about to return to Equestria and bring with her eternal night. Something must be done to be sure that this terrible prophecy does not come true, I await your quick response.

Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle

I already realized that 'she' was coming back, but I wasn't so sure what to do due to the fact that the Elements do not work for me anymore, then, an idea struck, I sent a letter back to Twilight Sparkle telling her to make some friends. By doing that, she can find the five other ponies that would represent the Elements of Harmony. She was reluctant at first, but she did it regardless anyway. Along the way, she met five ponies that would represent the five Elements: Loyalty, Laughter, Kindness, Honesty, and Generosity, their names are in order from the Elements, Rainbow Dash, Pinkamena Diane Pie or Pinkie Pie for short, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity, all of them end up activating the sixth, strongest, and hidden Element found in my student, Twilight Sparkle, Magic. When they activated the full potential of the Elements, they shoot a rainbow-colored magic of some sort at Nightmare Moon, defeating and returning her back as Princess Luna in the process. When I saw them transform my sister back, I decided to come into the old castle of ours and greet them, I got to my sister and see if she would like to rule by my side again. She was happy to be by my side again, after that, Twilight was sad to leave her friends now that she has some. I decided to give another mission and that was to write back with letters telling me lessons about the Magic of Friendship she learned during her time in Ponyville. 

After all that it seems that peace came once again; however, as I expected, it didn't last long. Our nemesis, Discord seems to have broken out of his stone chamber and threatened to bring eternal chaos again. Due to the fact that me and Luna were not connected to the Elements of Harmony, his stone prison was breaking. I told the six to come to my castle so they can get the Elements from the chest I made, what I didn't expect was that he took the Elements and hid them. We had a little conversation with him, he was in the glass windows preventing me from hitting him. I asked him where did he hid them and he told us the answer in a riddle of his.

This is what Discord said, "Retreive your missing Elements, just makes sense in this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan, then find your Elements back where you began."

I wasn't so sure where he hid the Elements, but Twilight beat me to it. She said that they are in the labyrinth, I wasn't so sure if that was the right answer but I accepted her judgement and they went to the labyrinth. By the time they made it there, Discord separated them from each other while also removing their horns and wings. He was toying with them one by one hypnotizing them to be their opposites. I was able to tell that they were being their opposites because even though I cannot use the Elements, I can sense when they are in trouble. She managed to find the Elements in the book where it told about the Elements; however, she was furious at her friends for being jerks. She putted all of the Elements on the five there with the exception of Rainbow Dash due to her abandoning her quest to get the Elements. She tried to perform the spell, but without Rainbow Dash's element, loyalty, the spell failed and they separate from each other resulting her becoming dull in color like her friends. By the time Discord got to Twilight, I was wondering how to get to Twilight before it became permanent, then I remembered her letters to me and I sent all of her letters back. 

Luna used a telepathy spell on me to talk to me, "Technically, it was me that sent all of those letters back to Twilight. She wasn't able to do that."

"Why not Luna, and why are we talking telepathically?"

"I did not want my sister to know this, but, before Twilight became dull in color, Tia here transformed into a young filly no thanks to Discord's magic."

"Really? That's a surprise, then how come you didn't become affected by Discord's magic? Were you unaffected by it?"

"No, he didn't affect me because he wanted me to be Nightmare Moon again, in which he almost succeeded doing that."

"I see, so you fought your jealousy when that transformation happened and after that, tried to find a way to get to Twilight without letting Discord know that you are still yourself. Am I getting all of this right?"

"Yes, you are getting all of this right. The reason that she doesn't remember this is because she, like I said before, was a filly and had a filly's mind so she doesn't remember me doing all of this."

"I see, good job on doing it for her."

"It was my pleasure, now let us return back to my sister's story."

Both looked back at her thankfully not noticing that they were talking telepathically to each other.

Noticing that she was reinvigorated with the magic of friendship, she was able to free all of them from their hypnotized state using a memory spell to give them back all their memories. After she managed to get all of them together again, she tried the spell, this time, with success and turned Discord, again, to stone.

After that, peace was, once again, returning to its former glory until, again, things did not go as planned.  My student, Twilight Sparkle was ponynapped by unknown people. As I was having trouble finding her, one of the guards manage to find her and the secret group performing a spell I don't even know about. As they were close to completing the spell, I interrupted it and the spell was broken. I wasn't so sure what was that spell suppose but from the looks on the center of the spell circle, it looked like it needed my student's blood.

"Wait, let me get this straight, that spell they were trying to perform. It requires her blood, why not anybody elses?" 

"We do not know. We never knew what that spell actually does. Sorry, shall I continue?"

"Please."

All of the guards came in and took all of the people and took all of them to prison, we weren't able to find their leader unfortunately from all of the commotion. At least we manage to rescue my faithful student from them. After that, nothing has happened after that. We went to a school play that Ms. Cheerilee decided to hold, and the last one that played was outstanding. We saw a colt that not only did his performance of Nightmare Moon well, but also sounded like her. After that, we decided to return back to Canterlot and rest up for the night. During the night, a sudden burst of arcane energy came bursting from our old castle, the presence of that magic was all too familiar for me, but I also felt my sister's presence here too. When I looked at it, something made me wonder if that Nyx, who was supposedly Twilight's cousin, that came from the school play was indeed Nightmare Moon, but he acted too nice to be Nightmare Moon let alone be her. I decided to visit an old friend of mine by the name of Spell Nexus. He taught at the School of Gifted Unicorns and was a very talented unicorn there. I hoped that he can hopefully lift the weight off my shoulders. He did that by telling me that he has a spell that can look deep into the mind and soul but he would need Nyx in order to do it.

"Hold on, you know that I've studied otherworldly magics. That kind of magic I happen to know where to learn it, but for a unicorn to learn would be impossible. Haven't you thought just for a second where, when, or how did he learn it?"

"I did, but I was too tired from the incident and from multiple nightmares that involved Nyx transforming into Nightmare Moon."

"I see then, please continue."

Thank you, as I was, we were planning to get Nyx from Twilight as he was needed to see so I can rest myself at last knowing whether he is Nightmare Moon or not. However, when I asked her how Twilight treated Nyx, the answer was something I had not dared. I told her everything I wanted to do with him, but she was reluctant to do it due to her bond with the little colt. I tried my best to persuade her to give me Nyx, but she wouldn't. I had no choice but to tell her the whole story of why I needed her at once. Once she heard my side of this, she too wanted to know as well but tried to putted it aside as Nyx was doing the opposite of what Nightmare Moon would do. Trying not to break their bond, I promised her that if Nyx doesn't have any trace of Nightmare Moon within his soul, I would return him back to Twilight. When she asked me what I would do to him when there are some residual presence of Nightmare Moon within him, I wasn't so sure how to answer this. She knew what I would do to him if there are some energy of Nightmare Moon within Nyx and tried to stop me from doing, but in the end, I broke down from it. She saw a tear coming from my eyes, this was the first time she ever saw me get welled-up in tears. She decided to give me Nyx in return that I keep the promise I gave to her. I did, but when I tried to get him out with me, he was trying to return to Twilight as hard as possible. When he shouted the one word that I never would have expected from him, It broke my heart just for taking a child from a mother. "MOMMY!!!" That word putted me in shambles. I wanted to do this as fast as possible so I manage to bring him to Spell Nexus and asked him if this spell would work, and he said yes. I had a sense of hope that all of my worries may finally fade away once this spell was performed. Spell Nexus asked me to channel all of my energy into the spell as this spell required my magic to activate it. I did as he asked and casted all of my magic on it. As the spell began to get stronger, I noticed that this spell felt like the exact same spell that I interrupted and I also noticed over time that the pillars of magic became a blood-red color. I tried to stop myself but to no avail. The spell was completed and within the center where the magic was most concentrated, Nyx had finally transformed himself into what I had feared most, Nightmare Moon. Twilight came to where the spell was completed was too late as Nyx has now become Nightmare Moon. As she was talking to the citizens, they teleported out of the city and disappeared without a trace. I was so ashamed to look at Twilight that I returned to Canterlot to tell everyone the news. 

Nicolas was in utter shock to hear that the princess of the sun would be welled-up tears from that incident. He actually has had that same experience happen to him before so he can understand why she was welled-up in tears from that, "Wow, this is something. That must have hit your heart hard. I can understand that because a similar problem like has happened to me before."

"Really uncle? Could you tell us about that?"

"Sorry, but it's too painful for me to delve into at the time. I'd rather not remember it right now."

"Well, shall I continue then uncle?"

"Please continue with the event."

Thank you, I didn't tell everyone that Nightmare Moon has returned because it would cause the people to panic and that was a situation I do not want to go to at the time. I did tell the people in the castle about her return and they were on high alert. All of the guards went on the search for Nightmare Moon and their hideout, but to no avail.  After what seems like days looking for her, we almost had given up the search for her until she appeared right in front of me. We had a little chat, but with each time I talked about herself, she went into a rage. Then we went into a fight, we shared blows with each other. I did noticed that she was holding back. After she managed to lay only a cut on me, she got me in a death hold. She could have easily killed me there in the spot, but for some reason doesn't go for the kill and instead banishes me to the sun so I can feel what it feels like to be banished for a 1000 years. She did exactly that and I was banished.

"She banished you into the sun?"

"Yes, she did, after that Luna came in to try to stop her."

"Yes, now it's my turn to tell my part of the story."

After that, I see her in our throne room looking a little confused. I came in to fight her even though I know I have a disadvantage against her as I was weak against while she was ever so strong. We talked about what she did to my sister and was surprised to hear what she did to my sister. Instead of killing my sister, she banished her to the sun. Something tells me that the Nyx we know may still be inside there. I tried to persuade her while fighting her at the same time. I almost gotten into her but unfortunately, she bested me and got me in a death hold as well. The same thing happened to my sister, she was wondering whether to kill her or not. Instead, she did the exact same thing she did to Tia here. She banished me into the moon. After that we do not remember anything else after that.

Inside Canterlot Castle
October 23, 8:00 A.M 

"And that's all the events you missed out during your absence. If you wish to know the rest of the events that happened while we were banished, you are gonna have to ask my faithful student." Celestia was finally finished with the story, she was tired from retelling all the events like that. Then she remembered another event but just didn't wanted to talk about it due to it possibly hurting Luna.

Nicolas was shocked about all the events that happened while he was gone, "I plan to and wow, I'm surprised. I wished I was there to see all the events and help those six out, it would have been good to help them out. By the way, I have a question for you two."

"What is it?" Luna asked first because she noticed Celestia was tired from telling all those events.

"I noticed a chamber with three windows that fortell a story, what was that chamber all about?" Nicolas asked because when he first entered it, he felt sad all of a sudden, like a really wonderful friend was dead.

Luna knows what he meant and went into a depressed state after a loss of such a good friend.

Nicolas notices that Luna went into a depressed state and wondered what was troubling her after he mentioned about that chamber, "My my, what has gotten into you, Luna? You go depressed in a matter of seconds after I mentioned that chamber."

Celestia wasn't expecting him to bring it up so she decided to answer that question for him, "That chamber there was a memorial to a young filly and a friend of ours, her name was Snowdrop." Celestia was also saddened over that loss but she continued the story, "She was the filly who showed us the first falling snow star, she was blind so she couldn't see the stars like she wished to, but she can hear the twinkling stars. That's what caused her to make that snow star now known as a snowflake."

Nicolas understood why Luna was sad over that now, a loss of such a good friend who can understand her worries can be hard to put behind, "I see, well, I will be going to Snowdrop's chamber and give her my blessings." Nicolas wanted to bring closure to their friend.

"Thank you, I know you well enough that you respect those who died with good lives." Celestia tries to cheer Luna back to  her normal self.

"Alright, it is good to see you again, I feel happy to see you two happy even after the war with the chaosbringers." Nicolas goes out of the royal hall and into Snowdrop's chamber feeling sad once again, this time, with a good idea of what this represents. Snowdrop, a young filly who is blind and yet can hear very well that created the first snowflake. That is the best gift that any, if any, pony can bestow to Equestria, "Snowdrop, can you hear me? If you can, please accept my blessings and rest in peace for you had led a good life."  Nicolas kneels before the chamber and starts to pray to his God about Snowdrop. As he finishes his prayer, and does the cross, he started to sing a song then remembers something, "Oh man, I almost forgot that I sing well, yet people say I sound like a girl, haha. Oh well, I can't help it. Thank goodness I learned a spell that would be able to change my voice, this is a good way to put her to rest." He starts to sing a song he thought of for her in a matter of seconds.


"You cannot see
but your heart is pure
I know you feel trapped
In a dark world
Some brush you off
and call you weak
but your name is snowdrop
and one day they'll see"



"If you hold fast and stand strong you'll discover who you are
If you listen to the world at night you can hear the twinkling stars
If you use love to guide your heart you are bound to go far
You have the power to change the world being uniquely who you are"


After that phrase, he started to cry over such a loss of a good friend for Luna, but he held back the tears and continued to sing. He wanted to put the little filly's heart to rest with his God and he just thought of this song he made just for Snowdrop.


"If you hold fast and stand strong you'll discover who you are
If you listen to the world at night you can hear the twinkling stars
If you use love to guide your heart you are bound to go far
You have the power to change the world being uniquely who you are"



"If you hold fast and stand strong you'll discover who you are
If you listen to the world at night you can hear the twinkling stars
If you use love to guide your heart you are bound to go far
You have the power to change the world being uniquely who you are"


By the time he ended the song he started to swell into tears, he couldn't shrug it off the feeling of such a good friend even though he never met her. He thought about her for awhile, he stayed there longer then what he had in mind and thought of something he can do to allow Luna to see her young friend once again, then, something hit him. He could use the one spell he learned from another world that allowed him to resurrect those that have good intentions, and a love so strong, it can never break no matter the hardships, but doing that, he would break the laws of nature doing it. Seeing Luna's expression on her face when Snowdrop was mentioned though, he decided to do it when the time is right, "Snowdrop, can you hear me? If you can, someday, you will walk with Luna and Celestia once again, and you will create the winter snowflakes once again." After those last words, he left the chamber with a smile on his face. 

Celestia notices Nicolas come out of the chamber and asked, "Well, were you able to bring her the peace and closure she desired?" Celestia wondered about it because he stayed in there longer than what she had in mind.

Luna manage to hear the song from the royal hall from Snowdrop's chamber and made her happy that Nicolas did that just for someone he never knew and for Luna herself.

"Yes, I think I bought her the peace she desired, now shall we go to Ponyville so I can meet the six you told me about?" Nicolas was excited to see them and thank them for protecting Equestria while he was gone.

"Yes, let us take the royal chariot there." Celestia takes Nicolas to the royal chariot and head to Ponyville to see them again.

"Before we do that, you might want to deliver a letter to her telling her that we are coming."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about that." Celestia teleports back into her room and writes a letter to Twilight.

Nicolas goes back into town and goes into a bakery and orders some cloud cake while she was writing the letter. He remembers that Celestia loved cloud cake. He decided to try it just to see how good it actually is.

Library
Oct. 23 10:00 A.M.

Twilight was arranging all of the books there are in alphabetical order due to 'someone' messing up the place again, "Spike, are you done on your side?"

"Calm down Twilight, I got this." Spike tries to put the last book back at its original spot until one slip-up made the whole bookshelf fall down, "Haha, oopsies."

"*Sighs* sometimes I wonder why I have you as my number one assistant." She puts all of the books that Spike dropped in order, "There, now will you please stop trashing the place?"

"Sorry Twilight, I'm still getting use to having Nyx as a sorta of a brother for me."

"I know Spike, I'm still adjusting to being his mom now after all of that ordeal, but it looks like this may go well."

"Yeah." Spike puffed his mouth and out came a letter from Princess Celestia.

Twilight picked it up and red the message,

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

 I am to tell, you that I am meeting you and the rest of your friends by around 2:00 P.M. along side a friend of mine whom I wish to talk about with you six. I hope that you are prepared to meet me for this.

Your Royal Highness,
Princess Celestia

After Twilight was done reading the letter, she gets a mental breakdown like when she did the 'Want it, Need it' spell on, "Oh my gosh, I did not know she was coming right now." Twilight was scurrying around the place in a panic checking if everywhere was clean for the princess's arrival.

"Twilight, what's gotten into you? You look like you are freaking about over something."

"Spike, the princess is coming at 2:00 P.M. today along side a friend of hers, what do you think why I'm freaking out!?" Twilight was checking the same places over and over again just in case if everything was spiffy, then turned her attention to Spike, "Spike, can you get Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie here? Because she wants to talk to all of us!"

"Calm down, I'll go get them. Just be a little patient, okay?" Spike leaves the library to get the others as fast as he could before Twilight goes completely bonkers. He firsts heads into the Carousel Boutique to get Rarity, "Rarity are you here?"

"Just a minute." Rarity was about to finish her dress that one of the townspeople asked for her to make, "And done, now what is it that you wanted Spike?"

"Princess Celestia is coming at 2:00 P.M. at the library along side a friend of hers. You coming or what?"

"Why of course, my dear. Just let me get my things. I'll be there as fast as possible, I don't want to miss it one bit." Rarity was hiding her excitement for seeing the princess again.

"All right, I'm going to get the others. Be at the library by 2:00 P.M., okay bye." Spike leaves the shop and heads for Fluttershy's cottage, "Fluttershy, are you here?" Spike looks around the place only to find her on the ceiling, "Fluttershy, why are you on the ceiling?"

Fluttershy flies back down gently, "Oh, I'm sorry. Its just that you scared when you suddenly opened the door. What was it that you wanted to tell me?"

"Its Princess Celestia, she's coming at 2:00 P.M. at the library and she wants all of us to be there. You coming?"

"Of course, I can't wait to speak to her again."

"All right, well gotta get the others, bye." Spike leaves at full speed to Sweet Apple Acres where he finds Applejack bucking apple trees to no end, "Hey Applejack!"

Applejack hears Spike from a distance and waves hi at him, "Howdy Spike, what are ya doing here?"

"I came here to tell you that Princess Celestia is coming to the library at 2:00 P.M., you coming or what?"

"Well, of course Ah'll come, let me just buck these last few apple trees and then Ah'll be on my way."

"All right, good luck." Spike was getting tired from getting all of them but he had to so Twilight won't scream at him for not getting them. He sees Sugercube Corner and plans to get Pinkie Pie until Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere and crashed on him. 

"Whoops, sorry Spike. Didn't see you there." Rainbow got off Spike and helped him stand up.

Spike was still in pain from that, but at least he doesn't have to chase Rainbow Dash now that he is here, "Rainbow Dash, Princess Celestia is coming at the library at 2:00 P.M., are you coming or what?"

"Of course I'll come, meet you there okay?"

"All right, I just need to get Pinkie Pie and that should be all of them."

"All right, good luck." Rainbow Dash leaves for the library at blazing speeds.

Spike was so tired from all of this, but he was so close to Sugarcube Corner that he decided to continue it. He walks slowly to Sugarcube Corner. By the time he got to the door, Pinkie Pie was waiting for him already, "Hi Spike, what is it that you want to tell me so badly?"

"Princess Celestia, *gasps* is coming to *gasps* to the library at 2:00 P.M. along side a friend, *gasps* are you coming?" Spike was so tired from all; the running that he almost fainted while talking.

"Of course silly, I'll carry you." Pinkie carries Spike on her back and they hop off to the library.

At the library, Twilight was still freaking out that Spike hasn't return from his trip. She wonders if Spike failed in getting them on time and almost goes into crazy mode until Pinkie Pie arrives with Spike on her back. "Hi Twilight, I came here as fast as I can. I think the others got the message from Spike."

"Oh thank goodness, so it looks like Spike tire himself out to the bone." Twilight was relieved that Spike was able to do it, but was a little sad to see him over exert himself for this. He puts him in bed and lets him rest for the day. While at it, Twilight wonders what Nyx was doing while all of this commotion was happening. Whatever it is, she just hopes that she doesn't hurt herself or any other pony with her friends.

Over time, the rest of the group finally made it to the library and wondered why Princess Celestia wanted to see them at this time of the day. Rarity was the first one to break the silence, "What do you guys think she wants to talk about? I know that she said its just that she wants to meet her friend, but who do you think is he or she?"

"Not so sure, Ah'm not so sure y'all know anything 'bout this pony?"

All synchronized for this part, "Nope, not a clue."

"Well, Ah'll be beat, we got no idea who this pony is."

"I agree, wonder what's taking them so long."

"We'll I don't want to stay here forever, wanna do something while we wait?" Rainbow Dash was very bored from waiting this long for the princess.

"Sure, why not." All of them were getting bored of waiting as well.

Oct. 23, 1:30 P.M.

Nicolas was enjoying the cloud cake he had from the chef and all of its contents, no wonder why Celestia loves this cake so much that she would go unladylike of her to eat it. After he was done with the delicious cloud cake, he checks the time and notices that they were getting late. He goes into the royal chariot where he finds Celestia waiting, "Sorry it took me awhile, just took a bite of that sweet, delicious, cloud cake. No wonder why it's your favorite dessert." 

"It is okay, shall we go then?" Celestia tells the pegasi to get ready to go.

"Yes, I finally get the chance to meet them." Both of them went to Ponyville in the chariot.
