~Three Years Later~
"Celestia...When did you get your cutie mark?" Twilight asked childlike.
"Didn't I tell you dear?" Celestia said jokingly.
"Yeah, but I want to hear it again." Twilight said. She and Celestia both had hidden whenever the war came to Ponyville. It was in a secret complex only two ponies know about.
"Okay. Well it all started...." Celestia told Twilight the story of how she got her cutie mark. Although Twilight loved hearing the story. She didn't really pay attention this time. She was happy being able to bond with her old teacher again. They haven't done so since she was just a little filly. She cherished every moment she was with Celestia now, not knowing if she'll one day be taken away from her, or if the war would end and she won't get to talk to her. She was always so busy and the most communication she got was whenever she came to Ponyville or when she wrote her a letter. She'd always been on time. Before it was because she didn't want to get pulled back into magic kindergarten, but she got over that...now it was because she wanted to communicate with her. And now she finally got what she wanted. to spend time with her again.
"Uuuugh, AppleBloom I miss my scooter." Scootaloo whined.
"I miss Zap Apple Pies but you don't hear me complainin'." AppleBloom said wearing her sister's hat.
"I think my scooter is more important than your pies." Scootaloo said
"Oh yeah well I think my pies are better than your scooter!" AppleBloom retorted.
"Nuh uh!" Scootaloo said.
"Yeah huh!" AppleBloom said.
They both fell silent. Thinking about Sweetie Belle. They hadn't seen her in years and without her they argue. They never really realized that she'd be the one that stopped the arguing most of the times.
After about five minutes.
"I'm sorry." Scootaloo said sorrily.
"It's fine." AppleBloom said.
"Hey, maybe we got our cutie marks for arguing?" Scootaloo said jokingly.
AppleBloom looked jokingly, and of course didn't see anything. Scootaloo laughed and AppleBloom joined in.
Sweetie Belle had confirmed that they couldn't get a cutie mark for arguing anyways.
"Hey Aj. You still awake?" Rainbow Dash asked softly.
"..Yeah..I..I'm awake...just a bit sore..." Apple Jack replied.
"Don't worry I'll think of something to heal your wounds." Rainbow Dash said proudly.
"Rainbow....you need some sleep...." Apple Jack said observing Rainbow Dash noticing how tired she looks.
"No, I have to stay awake and keep a lookout and watch y-" Rainbow Dash was interrupted by Apple Jack.
"Rainbow nopony's close by...now lay down with me." AppleJack said tiredly.
Both Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash were hiding in a cave in the middle of the forest. Both of them were injured but Apple Jack has it worse. With Rainbow Dash feeling guilty for her injuries.
"This armor looks absolutely MARVELOUS if I do say so myself." Rarity said gleefully.
"Now be a dear and send these to the armory will you." Rarity said, handing the full set of armor to the mailpony. Rarity was brought to a hidden village that was for refugees that escaped Ponyville. It was also the village to gather rebels so they could get ready to start the rebellion against Nightmare Moon and end her rein upon the world. Rarity was responsible for the armor.
As the mailpony went to deliver the chest plates, leggings, helmets, and boots. Rarity could only stand there and reminisce to herself about the good old times. With her friends. Sure they weren't like Rarity when it came to cleanliness, or maturity, but she still liked being with them. She missed them all so much. She didn't realize what it'd be like without any friends. She just never thought about it....None of them did.
Most of all though...she missed her sister Sweetie Belle...
"Cmon Angel, we've gotta look for my friends." Fluttershy said.
Angel jumped on Fluttershy's back and they continued through the smoky wasteland. Fluttershy was separated from Luna whenever the soldiers came to capture Luna. Luna told Fluttershy to fly away as fast as she could. Fluttershy escaped but had nowhere to go and didn't know where any of her friends were. She had angel though. That was fine with her. But she still wanted to make sure her friends were okay. But she had no idea where she was or where any of her friends are.
"Nightmare Moon I wish to join your side." Luna demanded.
"You? What use could I have for you? You failed me as my host last time." Nightmare Moon said. Mocking her.
"I know details on the other ponies...Including my sister, Celestia!" Luna said.
"...Hmmm...I'm not sure I can trust you." Nightmare Moon said.
"Ooooh I've been waiting to be evil and bring eternal night for a loooong time!' Luna said devilishly.
"Well then. Prove it! Bring eternal night now if you say the truth." Nightmare Moon demanded.
"I would but we've got that troublesome Princess that'll change it right back if I try." Luna said.
"Well then why don't we go looking for her then. Tell me do you know her whereabouts?" Nightmare Moon said.
"I don't know currently. Give me time in Twilight's library I'm sure I can find something." Luna said.
"Permission granted. Hope to see the eternal night soon." Nightmare Moon said.
