~~~ Last Time (We were in the present. [Chapter 15])~~~


Twilight gave him a loving smile. "Solarium my answer is yes I would love to marry you."



At hearing this Solarium gave out a Pinkie Pie smile. Before leaning in and kissing Twilight, while placing the ring on her horn. Which Twilight kiss back after they ended their kiss they decide to go to bed. They also agreed-upon not sharing a bed until after the wedding. So they were still sleeping in separate rooms.


~~~ And now... ~~~


The next day the Royal guards that transported them to the cabin came back to take him back to the Castle. But as soon as they saw the ring that was on gold chain necklace around Twilight's neck. They gave a look of shock at first but then began to show congratulating smiles. Soon after, they headed off. They eventually reached Everfree Castle where not only Luna was waiting. But also as a surprise, Queen Cosmos and King Artemis were standing next to Luna. As soon as the carriage landed and Solarium and Twilight walked out. The three other Alicorn's saw the ring around Twilight's neck. Which caused Luna to squeal and rushed up to hug Twilight. While Cosmos and Artemis walked over to their son and gave to him and embrace. Artemis was also rubbing his hoof on Solarium's head saying. "That's my boy."



As soon as on the congratulating was over. Luna and Cosmos started giving out a devious smiles. Grabbed Twilight and rushed her back to Luna's bed chambers. When all the while leaving King Artemis and very shocked and bewildered Solarium. "Father, what just happened?"



At hearing this Artemis chuckled to. "More than likely there going to try to start getting your wedding preparations started. But before any of that can happen you and I need a go back to Canterlot talk with the Council about this marriage."



At hearing this Solarium looked puzzled. "Why do I need to talk to the Royal Council of about marrying Twilight?"



At hearing this Artemis side. "Because: One Twilight is not from this time, and Two she is not using her full real name. Shimmer is not a part of her real name its something else is. This would lead to problems on your marriage certificate. So we need to work on the compromise with the Royal Council. I spoke about this with your mother and sister and that is part of the reason why they grabbed Twilight. To keep her distracted, while you and I go talk to the Council about it. So then she doesn't get a panic attack. If she had won around now the Royal Council will be even harder to convince them to let that happen. So you and I need to go now."



At hearing this Solarium began to worry. He never thought up about any of what his father just said to him, when he proposed to Twilight. So he nodded his head in agreement and with that the two teleported off to Canterlot.


~~~ Meanwhile, back in the future... ~~~


Twilight's friends and family made it to Canterlot Castle. Now sitting in front of Celestia and Luna, wondering what had happened to Twilight. Meanwhile, Discord finally got done assembling the analyzing device. Placed the rainbow matrix gem in the scanning spot and activated the machine to begin analyzing the gem. What no one expected was that the whole Council was in the room. As well, along with Prince Blueblood, which apparently overheard that there was something the Council needs to hear as well. So he thought he would try to butter up his aunt. By bringing round of the Council of bringing him to that room so she could only explain it once, but in all truth. He made things a lot harder for Celestia since she wanted the deal telling the two groups separate. For once in a long time Celestia did not know what to do when it came to explaining this to her little ponies. Discord seeing this as well as seeing that some of the ponies were getting up inpatient. Mainly the Council because they think they're all high and mighty. And don't need to be here and Twilight's mother. So he thought he could maybe give Celestia bit more time by making it will excuse for them to wait a little longer. "Aren't we waiting for word two more ponies to get here. Speaking of them where are they?"



At hearing this, the group of ponies got a little frustrated at hearing that they need wait for two more ponies. To get here before they can get answers while Celestia was grateful for discord help. "Thank you for reminding me Discord and yes, hopefully they'll be here soon."



Blueblood was getting impatient. He began to wonder who could they possibly be waiting for so he decided to speak up. "Princess Celestia who could we possibly be waiting for? Can't we start without them?"



At that moment a flash a light started imitating inside the room. The light faded and revealed two Alicorn's and while a few ponies recognized them as Artemis and Cosmos. Everypony else were in shock at seeing them. At this point Celestia chuckled. "Mother, father so glad you could make it. Everyone here are the King and Queen of Equestria. King Artemis and Queen Cosmos. They were taking a very long extensive vacation. If any of you were wondering where they have been all this time."



At hearing this. Everybody immediately bowed down before the two new Alicorn that just appeared. They stayed like that until Artemis cleared her throat. "Rice we have much to talk about that involves miss Twilight."



At hearing this Shining began to give out worried look for his sister. "What happened to my little sister is she all right?"



At hearing this Cosmos, gave doubt a sympathetic look. "It's kind of a long story you see. The gem that Discord is analyzing we know for a fact did not in prison her inside the gem. But sent her back in time. It changed her coat, mane and even her Cutie Mark. It sent her to around 200 years before discord ever came to Equestria."



At hearing this everyone gasped. Since there was no written record of any other Alicorn than Celestia and Luna. At least until Cadance and Twilight came into the picture in time frame. In fact, they didn't even know that they had a King and Queen. At that moment Rainbow Dash decided to as the question that everyone wanted that know. "Hold up there is no history records about Alicorn Twilight. In fact, there is no records of you to either so I want to know everything, now."



Rarity gasped at Rainbow's remark. "Rainbow dash you do not do something like that to royalty!"



But just then King Artemis began to chuckle. "She still got spunk. No wonder sheet the bearer of the element of loyalty."



At hearing this, everypony's jaws went agape, including Celestia's and Luna. Which as soon as she regained her composure Luna took the initiative to ask. "How would you know that Rainbow is the bearer of loyalty. Sure Celestia and I can send you letters whenever we want. But you never let us know what disguised forms you two took. In fact, you said you were going changing your appearances time to time. I would highly doubt you would go anywhere where Celestia and I would be able to see you often. So you couldn't possibly be been in Ponyville often could you?"



At hearing this Artemis gave them a mischievous grin. "I wouldn't be so certain about that. You don't know. We might have hid in plain sight. Which reminds me."



King Artemis nodded to his wife. Which Queen Cosmos began to levitate something from behind her towards Pinkie pie. "Pinkie Pie would you mind playing with the twins for us?"



Just then Cosmos magic bubble faded away, revealing Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake. But instead of Pumpkin being a unicorn and Pound being a Pegasus they both were now Alicorn foals. Seeing this that element bearers, Spike and Discord's mouth's all went agape. Knowing exactly who those twins belong to and began realizing that Mr. and Mrs. cake were really the King and Queen of all Equestria in disguise. The nobles, Cadance Signing and Twilight's parents were shocked at seeing two new members of the Royal family on top of the King and Queen. While Celestia was, shocked at finding out she got two new siblings and Luna was being, shocked that she was now an older sister. Pinkie was the first to speak. "You mean to tell me your Mr. and Mrs. Cake? You mean to tell me that I've been working in a bakery with the King and Queen of all Equestria?!"



At that moment, Artemis and Cosmos began chuckling nervously. While Celestia and Luna were giving them a death glares with also telepathic message saying. *How could you give us more siblings and not tell us right away about it!* Which made the two even more nervous. "Yes, sorry about that. We just wanted to not be, treated as royalty during our vacation and it was kind and it up like that. Although I wish we would put two and two together on the whole Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Shimmer being one in the same since we did asked her not to tell us her full name and she needed to change a part of her name," she lamented.



At that moment Applejack had a question that came up to her. "Now wait a second. How were you able to hide the cake twins Alicorn forms when you were giving birth Cosmos?"



"Oh, that's an easy one. I place an illusion spell on the twins when they were still in Cosmos womb. The day before she gave birth in fact. You see male Alicorn's can sense the day when their foals are being born."



Hearing this, Applejack replied. "All right, let's get back to Twilight, shall we."



Artemis nodded his head in agreement. "Now when Twilight ended up in the past she bumped into Celestia, But Celestia was not Celestia at that time."



Upon hearing this, everyone was, confused and Twilight Velvet decided to ask the question. "What do you mean Celestia was not Celestia back all those years ago?"



At this Celestia sighed. "They're saying I was not a mare back all those years ago. In truth I'm really a stallion in disguise my name is Celestia. However, my real name is Solarium."
