chapter 5 ~ a talk with the princess
The colt's face turned a little red, "El, I thought I told you not to call me that in front of other ponies..."
The princess smiled at him, "It slipped out."
Then she looked at all four of them, "So what do you need?"
~~~
Shadow Constellation glanced at the others then at Flutter Night, "Um... Flutter Night? What do you want to eat?"
Flutter Night glanced at the demon, "Um... how about blueberry muffins, blueberry crepes and blueberry ice cream? And can you ponies, well um... demons change into your pony form? It won't me make feel lonely."
The demons shook their heads and White Rose spoke, "We can't change into our pony forms unless it's very important..."
Flutter Night looked at the demons with tears in her eyes, "So you're saying I'm not important? Fine! Leave me alone and Ill go exploring by myself!"
She ran away, leaving the demons surprised.
Red Rose looked at Seraphic Nightmare, "Does she always do this?"
The spirit shook her head, "No... I've never seen her ever like this. Let's go back to the palace. She needs some time alone."
The others nodded and they began to walk back to the palace.
~~~
Flutter Night went to a shop that sold blueberry pie, but the owner refused to sell it to her so she went to the next shop that sold blueberry crepes. They refused to sell it to her as well.
Why aren't they letting me buy some food?
Tears dropped from her eyes, she couldn't stand being alone or hungry.
A group of fillies and colts saw the blue-violet filly and whispered, "Doesn't she look like the killer? She'll probably try to kill us!"
They ran off for some strange reason.
A shop owner saw the filly and came over to her, "Are you okay, dear?"
The filly wiped her tears, "I'm fine, I'm just hungry."
The mare looked at her shop then back at the filly, "Do you want some ice cream?"
The filly nodded, "Could I have blueberry flavored?"
The mare replied, Of course, dear."
She walked over to her shop and came back with two scoops of blueberry ice cream. The filly politely thanked the mare and gave her a couple of bits.
The mare kindly refused, "No need, dear. Save it for something else, anyway a couple scoops of ice cream won't stop my business. And dear? What is your name?"
The filly took the bits back, eating her ice cream, "Um... My name is Flutter Night."
The mare smiled, "That's a pretty name, dear."
"Um... Thanks," she said quietly.
She quickly finished her ice cream and saw three royal guards next to the shop.
The mare walked over to the guards and asked, "Um... May I help you?"
One of the guards glanced at Flutter Night, "Bring me that filly."
The mare looked at the guard, "Why?"
The second guard glanced at the mare, "She might be a dangerous pony. A few fillies and colts have reported to us that she might be THAT killer."
The mare gasped, "She hasn't done anything wrong!"
The last guard looked at the filly, "But you aren't sure. Bring me the filly and you will be talking to Princess El."
The mare nodded sadly, "Alright. Flutter Night, come over here."
The filly came over, "Yes?"
The mare glanced at the guards with worry, "Go with them."
Flutter Night looked at the mare, "Could you tell me what your name at least?"
The mare glanced at the filly one last time, "My name is Cream Ice, now go with them."
Flutter Night nodded, "I will remember you forever, Cream Ice."
She walked over to the guards and left Cream Ice with one of the guards.
The guard looked at the filly, "Your name is Flutter Night, right?"
The filly nodded, tears coming out from her eyes.
The guard glanced at her blue-violet coat, "Well, I'm sorry but you have to leave Canterlot."
The guard's horn glowed and she disappeared.
The filly was now in a dark forest close to a town, known as Ponyville, called the Everfree Forest.
Where am I?
She sat near a tree, tears coming out from her eyes.
I will be alone, forever...

Star Sentinel glanced at Princess El, "Um... We saw Seraphic Night."
Princess El gasped, "Y-you s-saw who?"
Silver Snow glanced at the princess, "We saw her, Your Highness. But she said something strange."
The princess glanced at them, "When did you see her?"
White Angelic spoke, "Star saw her both yesterday and today and we only saw her today."
The princess looked at them, full with fear, "You are our only hope but remember when I told you that you four were the bearers of of the Elements of Harmony."
The four ponies nodded in reply.
The princess continued, "Well there is one more pony that is included with you. Their name is---"
The princess was interrupted as the five demons came in.
Seraphic Nightmare glanced at the four ponies and the princess, "Um... we're back."
Star Sentinel, Silver Snow, White Angelic and Pure Jewel were confused.
They didn't see Flutter Night with them, then Pure Jewel spoke, "Where's Flutter Night? Did you lose her?"
Seraphic Nightmare glanced at the windows, "Um... We kind of lost her... Well, we were separated from her..."
The four ponies looked at the five demons, speaking in unison, "What?"
Red Rose and White Rose spoke together, "We, um... hurt her feelings and she ran off, crying. Then we came back here..."
The princess glanced at the group, "Now what was the strange thing you needed?"
"Um... Seraphic Night, not Nightmare, told us that Star was the Prince of the Night, her partner for eternal life," Silver Soul said.
Star asked Princess El, "So do you know what it means by Prince of the Night?"
The princess shrugged, "I do not know, but I have something that does. This is a letter that Aunt Lulu gave to me to give to Star Sentinel when he asks or mentions the night."
She handed a letter.
~~~A few days before the princesses' death~~~
The princess of the night, Princess Luna, walked towards Princess El, "Nymphia? Can I ask you something?"
The young filly, known as Nymphia, looked towards the princess, "Yes, Aunt Lulu?"
The princess gave the filly a letter. "If little Starry ever asks or mentions the night to you, give him this."
The little filly was confused, "Why?"
The princess glanced at her niece, "Because by that time, you will need that letter the most. You will help Starry become a better pony."
the filly nodded, "Okay, Auntie Lulu."
The princess smiled, "Your name is from now on Princess El."
