Princess Rainbow Dash looked out the window. Another Summer Moon Festival. She sighed. She missed her friend, Princess Twilight Sparkle.
"Rainbow? What's got ya worried?" asked Applejack. "You look sad."
"Maybe a party will cheer you up!" Pinkie suggested.
"Or a fabulous new outfit!" added Rarity.
"No," replied Rainbow. "I just miss Twilight."
"Oh," replied the others.
"Yeah. I'm going to head to this year's location: Ponyville, to see what it's like." And with that, Rainbow teleported through a bright flash of cyan.
Rainbow magically hid her horn, and changed her appearance to look like a normal pony. She walked around and saw everypony was dong something for the festival. Then she saw three ponies, each without cutie marks: a unicorn, pegasus and Earth pony.
"Look! That's where the princess will stand to raise the moon!" a unicorn filly squeaked. "Cool!"
"I know! I will be able to see a real live princess!" squeaked an earth pony filly.
"Well, we have to go home now! We need dinner!" squeaked the unicorn. The pegasus filly looked sad.
"Excuse me," Rainbow walked over to the group of foals. "Why do you look sad?"
"Well...um..." the unicorn started.
"And, um....." the Earth pony continued.
"I don't have a family! My mom and dad died in a storm! And I have nowhere to go!" The poor pegasus filly started to cry.
"Aw, don't cry!" Rainbow cuddled the filly up. "You can come home with me."
"Really?" the pegasus filly asked.
"Yes...and what are your names?" Rainbow asked the fillies.
"Apple Bloom!" exclaimed the Earth pony.
"Sweetie Belle!" the unicorn said.
"Scootaloo!" The pegasus filly was hugging Rainbow. "Thank you thank you thank you!"
"Well, may I show all three of you my home? I can get us there quickly."
"Okay! We don't have to be at home for another thirty minutes, we're just hungry!" Apple Bloom told Rainbow.
Rainbow showed her true self, the fillies gasped and there they stood. In front of Canterlot Castle.
"Y-y-y-you're a p-p-princess?!" asked the three fillies. "Princess Rainbow Dash?"
"That's me!" Rainbow replied calmly. "How about we get you a small tour?"
"YES!" all three fillies screamed.
"Halt! Who goes there?" asked one of the guards when the fillies attempted to enter.
"It's okay, they're with me," replied Rainbow, and the guards stepped aside to let the fillies pass.
They walked into the great hallway. Rainbow pointed out random doors, until they got to the part where they met the other ponies. Rainbow explained to them, and they all agreed to take Scootaloo in. Then, Rainbow teleported Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom back home. Scootaloo picked out a bedroom. Then the six alicorns and the pegasus filly all went to Ponyville.
"Mares and Stallions, may I present...the Royal Family!" the announcer announced.
Rainbow flew down to the spot where she should stand, and the others stood beside her. But then, a flash of light appeared. It was Nightmare Moon, who was Princess Twilight Sparkle!
"MUAHAHAHA! THE NIGHT. WILL LAST. FOREVER!!!!!" she screamed.
"No!" exclaimed the five princesses. They magically then had their elements, and then they fired at her. The rainbow swirled around Nightmare Moon, until it revealed another form. And what was that form?
Queen Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings.
