Reunited
At a cottage, a unicorn mare with a light pink body, fuchsia pink and white mane, fuchsia pink tail and dark blue eyes, was sitting at an easel with a paintbrush levitating above her head.
"Some day, Rainbow Sparkle will grow up beautiful and Flame will be handsome and someday they will make us very proud," the mare said with a smile as she painted the two foals. "And now Dover will grow stronger. Who knows what will happen with Snowflake."
The mare painted them and put the paintbrush into one of the pots. She transformed herself into a filly like she always did even to get some food from a food stand that would be filled with fruit or vegetables. She was very poor and becoming her filly form always helped to get some bits from ponies in the town if she did her cute pleading face.
"I think I'll just get some sleep and hope for the best for those foals no matter what it takes. I just hope they fall in love and bring peace with their families."
She got into her bed and fell asleep.
Five years later
The queen stood outside the castle beside Lullaby. It was Rainbow Sparkle and Flame's first time to go foraging for food in the forest.
"Wow, how you have grown!" one of the mare guards exclaimed.
Flame and Rainbow Sparkle then hugged Lullaby.
"You'll do just fine." Lullaby said with a smile and scruffed Flame's short mane.
"Mum, you have to promise that we can do this on our own. Promise?" Rainbow Sparkle said with a pleading looking with her light blue and purple eyes.
Lullaby looked at the queen and gave a small smile.
"Alright, I promise," the queen said and the twins smiled then hugged their mother. The twins looked at where they were going, they smiled at everypony and galloped off. "Keep an eye on them, will you?"
Two stallion guards nodded then looked at each other and they walked off to the forest. Meanwhile, at the once king's castle, the stallion guard and the mare guard went down to the basement.
"What are we doing here again?" the mare guard asked and the stallion guard sighed and rolled his eyes.
"We are here to set up the plan that our king has told us to do." the stallion guard replied in annoyance and he had levitated a torch that hadn't been lightened.
"I'm so not scared, alright?" the female guard said with confidence but when she heard a small pot crash, she gave a whimper of fear.
The stallion guard then put the torch on a fireplace until it was caught on fire.
"Come on, Rainbow Sparkle and Flame have started their foraging. We need to be quick. Light your torch up too." the stallion guard said as he used his magic to levitate his torch then he walked away.
"When are we going to find more cherries?" Flame asked in confusion as he flew around trees to check for fruit.
"We need to find more than just cherries, Flame. We need to find other fruits." Rainbow Sparkle said in annoyance.
They then checked other trees and found that they were all out of fruit. The two guards they knew came out of nowhere.
"We are here to check on you. Your mother's orders." one of them said.
"I can't believe Mum broke her promise." Rainbow Sparkle said in defeat and annoyance then the twins galloped off quickly.
The guards called after them and galloped to catch up with them but they lost them and decided to go home in defeat and fright. Suddenly as the twins began to walk home, they saw some fire building up in the distance.
"Run!" Rainbow Sparkle said and she accidentally dropped the basket of fruit but she didn't turn to go get it.
"But it looks so awesome!" Flame yelled in wonder.
He always liked watching fire but they needed to get out of here! Rainbow Sparkle grabbed his tail with her mouth and pulled him along with her as they ran home. The fire blocked their path and they panicked.
"Let's use our wings and fly out of here!" Rainbow Sparkle yelled and the twins flew up into the air and they saw a cliff to fly to and escape. Flame managed to get onto the cliff but when Rainbow Sparkle did, she then slipped from the edge and held on for dear life. Flame galloped over to her and held onto her hoof! "Don't let go of me!"
Rainbow Sparkle screamed in fear and her twin brother pulled her onto the cliff, she coughed and fainted.
Flame did the same thing. Snowflake and Dover galloped to the cliff that was at the forest. They were told that they had to save the queen's foals to get on her side and accept them then ambush her. The twins thought this was a terrible idea and but they had to accept. They arrived and found Rainbow Sparkle and Flame lying there, obviously from exhaustion. They stirred a little then looked at them but they gave no reaction and fainted again.
Snowflake and Dover then used their magic to levitate them, Snowflake had Flame on her back and Dover had Rainbow Sparkle. They then galloped to where the queen's castle was and laid them down on the grass gently. Rainbow Sparkle and Flame then coughed and stood up shakily.
"Where are we?" Flame asked in a rough voice, he probably inhaled smoke which was why he sounded like that.
"Sparkle, Flame!" the queen's voice was heard.
She then landed in front of Snowflake and Dover and gave them a glare.
"I'm glad you two are alright!" Lullaby squealed and she hugged her nephew and niece.
"Mum, how could you break your promise?" Rainbow Sparkle demanded in anger, Flame looked at their mother in anger and Lullaby looked at her in surprise.
"It was the only thing that I had to do. I almost lost you. No more foraging for you again, not ever." the queen said in an angered voice.
"But we were doing just good until Snowflake and Dov-" Rainbow Sparkle said but before she could say Dover's name, the queen then stomped up to the other twins and they then gritted their teeth at each other.
"Sister!" Lullaby whispered in anger and surprise.
"Hey, how dare you saved the queen's foals?" a unicorn mare with a light pink body, fuchsia pink and white mane, fuchsia pink tail and dark blue eyes, yelled and she gave a grin.
"You saved my foals, why?" the queen demanded, still gritting her teeth.
"We thought it was a good idea and we wanted to join you and-" Snowflake replied in a nervous voice.
"No! You were banished alongside your sibling, your dad and your two guards." the queen said in an angered voice and Dover and Snowflake moved back a little.
"We have left that home now, you must now let us join you because we did something good." Dover said with confidence and he gave a slight smirk.
"Fine, you can join us but if I lose your trust then there will be consequences." the queen replied then she walked off with her head high and everypony else walked alongside her back to the castle.
