My Little Pony: Friends Are Forever

by FireflyLake


Twilight the Organizer

As Twilight flew home all she could do was worry. All they had were speculations, no one knew what they were up against. The princesses put their trust in her and her friends once again, but this time the stakes were higher. There was a royal wedding and pregnant princess they had to protect along with all of equestria. They needed a plan if they wanted to keep everypony safe.

Reaching her castle in Ponyville she slowed down and flew in with a smooth landing. She was being extra quiet as she walked through the castle. She trotted down the halls to a spare room. Calmly she lightly knocked on the door. The door opened up to a bright blue eyed mare. Her coat was light and her hair was purple with white stripes.

"Mom we need to-" Twilight was cut off by two little ponies. All of a sudden she was on her back and everything was spinning. "Shouldn't you two be asleep?" She could have sworn that she was seeing stars.

"But Auntiiiieeee! We're not tired!" Her niece and nephew said in unison. The older one was a unicorn named Shining Night in honor of his father and grandfather. He looked like a small Shining Armor except his mane was more rounded with a yellow strip, where his father has a light blue one. The other one was a pegasus called Amora Belle. She had a lighter pink coat than her mother's with the same loving, purple eyes. Her main was pink with purple locs mixed in.

Twilight got up giving them a hug. Cadance and Shining had dropped them off at the castle earlier when they arrived. Her mother and father stayed behind to watch them while they went off to the castle in a hurry. "Now settle down you guys. Your parents will be here shortly with uncles Flash and Spike. I want to give them a good report. Can you tell me what the rules are again?" She smiled kindly at her niece and nephew.

They stood straight and tall before reciting the rules. "Don't run in the halls, you could get hurt and break something. Don't be too loud because Cosmic is sleeping. Always listen to your elders, they know what's best." They beamed with a sense of pride as they recalled the rules. After an approving nod they ran along.

"They're so precious aren't they? Now what is it you wanted to say dear?" Her mother turned to her after a small giggle.

Twilight cleared her throat before continuing. "Well first off how was Cosmic for you? No trouble I hope." Cosmic was her son. He was a light purple unicorn with blue eyes and a blue mane. She walked over to him giving the sleeping foal a gentle nuzzle.

Twilight Velvet smiled at the scene before her. "He was no trouble at all. His magic is getting stronger though. He turned his rattle into a bottle! Your father was so frightened, he thought he was going to be turned into a plant again!" She chuckled at the thought of it actually happening.

"That's insane. He's only a foal. I was a bit older when that happened. I also had been studying spells and had a jolt of magic when that happened, I couldn't control that." She looked around the room to see her dad passed out on the floor and covered in toys. Using her magic she cleaned up the mess and put her father in bed. "Well I guess our news can wait until later once everypony else is home."


Once everypony had returned the adults gathered in the main room. Twilight explained to them how Luna was getting married and Celestia was pregnant. There was much to be done and she couldn't let her parents know the truth, even though she really wanted to. She put her parents in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly, giving them checklists of what needs to be done. Once they went to bed it was left to Twilight, Flash, Cadance, Shining Armor and Spike to figure out what to do.

Twilight had Spike get a few letters ready with instructions for the others. "Now then, let's begin. First of all we need to give the appearance that everything is fine. This being said we'll have Rarity and Pinkie Pie fully focused on the wedding and foal shower party. Fluttershy should be the one to keep an eye on Celestia. Not only do her abilities as being the pony representing kindness give her a better ground of understanding towards others, but she's also closer to Discord than we are and can get him to focus on the tasks at hand. As for Rainbow Dash and Applejack, let's have them focus half their energy on the wedding and in their spare time look into what's been going on. Maybe Rainbow Dash and the Wonder Bolts can take a look around the bordering lands and report back to us what they see from the sky." She was hard at work finding ways to keep things under control and safe.

Originally she was going to have Flash help guard Celestia, but he said he couldn't. "What do you mean you can't?" Twilight was clearly taken aback by this.

Flash looked at her apologetically. "I thought you knew already." By the look on her face he knew he was wrong. "I'm part of the group being sent over to investigate. Somepony has to go out there and find out what happened to the others." He was a top ranking guard and after being trained by Shining himself he thought he was ready for anything, but not what came after.

"NO!" Twilight nearly screamed, luckily nopony woke up. "That's too dangerous! There's a reason the others didn't come back! This is why I'm sending out an aerial team. Who gave you your orders?!" She fumed as tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

He looked down then back at her. Taking a deep breath he looked her in the eyes. "It comes from Princess Celestia. She knows I can do this. I hope you do too." He shut his eyes expecting her to scream, but instead she was frozen in place. "Twilight?"

She stared blankly before continuing. "Shining Armor. I want you to take Cadance back to the Crystal Empire and see if you can figure anything out. Cadance should be able to keep things well hidden while you snoop around. Dad can watch the kids and I'll be doing research of my own. Spike please get these orders out to everypony. Don't let anything interfere." Spike nodded and ran off while Twilight walked like a zombie to the nursery.

In the nursery Twilight was holding a tired Cosmic close to her. Flash walked in and stood in front of her, admiring their little miracle. Twilight's eyes watered and Cosmic almost started to cry. Instead he mustered up all the magic he could to float a tissue to his mother. Twilight smiled, proud of her son for how advanced he was and also happy that he tried to cheer her up.

"I know I can't do anything about it so I'll only ask when you have to leave." She didn't bother to look at him, she kept her eyes on their son.

"We leave in three days, we need time to get things ready. You know if I had a choice I'd choose to stay with you Twi." He nuzzled her neck and gave her a kiss.

More tears started to form in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose you. After all we have been through. Everything seemed so perfect, but now we have another threat we need to fight off. I can't lose all that we've finally gained." Tears fell, following the same path as the ones before them.

Flash put a hoof around her and pulled her close. "I know, I don't want to lose you either. I love you two so much."
