The Battle

FINALLY THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA!!!! I was so excited. It was finally today! I ran to go see Rarity.
“Why hello there! How may I help you?” Rarity asked.
“I came to see if I could have a dress for the Gala?” I asked.
“OOOHHH!!!! I have got the perfect dress! Come with me!” Rarity added.
“Okay??” I said as I followed her.
“Here it is! I think it looks lovely with your mane!” Rarity said.
“I...LOVE IT!!!!!!” I said.
“Great!!! Now go try it on!!!!” she said and shoved me into a changing room.
I quickly put on the dress and I looked amazing in it! It had hearts all around it and it matched my cutie mark perfectly. I put my hair into a bun and walked out of the room.
“OMG!!!! You look amazing!!” Rarity said.
“I really like it! I am going to head to Canterlot early, so I will see you there!!!” I said.
“Okay! I can’t wait for tonight!!!” Rarity said as she waved goodbye.
I walked out of Carousel Boutique and got into a taxi.
“Hello there! I am Carmel Apple” the taxi driver said.
“Hey! I am Crystal Charmer! Can you take me to Canterlot?” I asked.
“Sure thing!” Caramel Apple said.
He ran all the way to Canterlot and when I got there I wondered why I was really here! I mean Celestia is going to try to kill me and I came EARLY? What was I thinking!!! I payed Caramel Apple and walked to Canterlot castle. Right when I was about to walk in I saw Luna.
“CRYSTAL!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” she asked shocked.
“I decided to come early! Sheesh!” I said.
“Bad idea!! Celestia has ordered guards to kill you!” she said.
“Yeah, she ALWAYS wants to kill me!”
“But this time she might!” she said!
“I convinced ALL of ponyville to fight with me!” I said.
“What? Against Equestria’s army?? So many ponies will die!” she said.
“Well how was I supposed to know that Celestia would try to kill me?” I asked.
“I just want you to be safe!” Luna said.
“Fine! I will go face Celestia alone!” I said and ran away.
“CRYSTAL COME BACK!!!!! SHE HAS GOTTEN STRONGER!!!!!!” Luna yelled.
I didn’t care what Luna had to say! I wanted to face Celestia alone! I do not want her to kill anypony else! I finally got to the royal castle, and I entered.
“I was expecting you” Celestia said with a sly grin.
“Oh really? Because I am going to beat you this time!” I said.
“Last time you were the alicorn, but now it’s me!” Celestia replied.
“You ruined my life! And I think you need to stop!” I said and the battle began.
After a hour of fighting I lay on the floor with a blood pool around me.
“This...is...not...over” I said and fainted.
“Oh! I think it already is!” Celestia replied
