//------------------------------// // Portals and Walls // Story: Trump for King // by Heat Signature //------------------------------// Celestia awoke form her restless sleep. She dragged herself out of bed and slowly made her way to the balcony to begin the raising of the sun. The raising of the sun has always been a time of delight for her, even in her sisters absence, it gave her joy to bring warmth and shine to her citizens. This sunrise however, she dread, and could only hope it sets soon. "Are thou ready dear sister?" She sighed and turned to her co-ruler and younger sister "Yes Luna. Tell the servants I require assistance preparing for the event." They both stood in silence for a moment. Neither one was happy with today's upcoming event, even though they knew it was inevitable for months. "Are thou positive thou wishes to proceed with this, dear sister?" Luna asked "There must be an altern---" "No." the Sun Goddess stated, cutting off her sister, "There is no other way. Our choices back then and our actions as of late have lead to this. Now, I must face this with my head high and hope my time as ruler meant something to my little ponies." She retreated from the balcony with her head hung low, closing the balcony curtains behind her, and passed the equally saddened Lunar Goddess. She opened the door to her dressing room turning to Luna. "Time to start the day...may it be over quickly." 1 Year Before In a castle at the center of Ponyville, a young alicorn princess is preparing to test a new spell. Months of hard work and research had lead to this moment. If she made even one mistake, then the whole spell could be ruined. No distraction or bothers, this was too important. For this spell could be the key to unlocking universal secrets. She double checked to make sure she locked the door and shut all the windows. This was to important to take any chances. Taking a few deep breaths and checking the book one last time, the young princess was ready to test the spell. She readied her horn and aimed for the open spot on the floor. BANG! BANG! BANG! "Twilight! Are you home?!" said a very excited and loud voice. Twilight groaned, having been interrupt from what may have been a ground braking achievement. "Yes, Pinkie Pie. I'm here", she said, going to the front door to greet her friend. `"Than open the door and let me in, silly filly." she said "I have got some super, duper news for ya." Opening the door, Twilight was greeted by a bear-hug from her overjoyed friend. "Oh my gosh, Twilight! You wont believe what happened at Sugar Cube Corner." She said, still squeezing Twilight in her embrace . "If...I...could...breathe...I might" She struggled to say. Which Pinkie took as a sign to release her friend. "What is it now Pinkie? I'm very busy." "SoIWasDownAtSugarCubeCornerCauseThatsWhereIUsuallySpendMyTimeWhenIAmPlanningPartiesOrFillingOrdersButYouWillNeverGuessWhoCameByLookingForYouAndItWasSuperCrazyCauseIDidn'tExpectToSeeThemTodayItWasPrincessLunaAndSheWasLookingForYouAndIDidn'tKnowWhereYouWereSoIStartedTalkingToHerForHoursThinkingYouWouldAlsoWalkInSupresinglyButYouDidn'tSoSheSaidSheWasTiredAndWentToPonyvilleInAndSaidToTellYouToMeetHerThereLater!" Squeak "Wha..." "Princess Luna came by and said to tell you to meet her at Sugar Cube Corner Later. Weren't you listening?" "Pinkie, why didn't you just bring her with you?" questioned to the lavender princess annoyed. "Well I wanted to, but she was in a hurry for some reason, which is strange cause she always comes to Ponyville to relax" she emphasized her point, having her body go limp and slide like jell-O from a standing position to lying on her back. "Thank you Pinkie, I will go see the Princess later, but for now I am busy. I'm trying to enhance this old spell I found in a book that was left on my doorstep a week ago." "That hasn't worked well for us in the past." she said, more 'matter-of-fact"ly then in her bouncy persona Twilight noted this, but just brushed it off as Pinkie being Pinkie.Spike, who entered the large empty room, was made write a note to remind her of the meeting she had later. Twilight turned to Pinkie and instructed her to remain behind the barricade of pillows Spike had set up earlier that morning. Twilight checked her book again nervously. She checked it again. One more time. She was ready, but was so nervous. Taking a step back, she steadied her breathing before selecting a spot on the floor where she would try summoning an object she had left on the other side of the castle earlier that day. Capturing a mental image of where she place it, and reassuring herself it was certainly there, she prepared to summon it. Readying her horn, she winced as she dug deep, mustering all the magic she could to ensure this spell would work. It was more complex then any summoning spell she knew, and wanted to know why it required such effort. Flash The room was shrouded in purple smoke, but a black silhouette was seen in the place Twilight was aiming for "Jeez, that hurt the old back. Whoever did this is so fired..." Moments earlier in a different reality entirely A man in a navy blue suit stands at a podium before a large crowd of onlookers, all wearing matching red caps. He clears his throat before speaking into the mics positioned toward him. His eyes brush over the crowd of smiling faces. "We are gathered as one nation...nay as one people, to see our new leader take those first steps into the White House. After a long campaign, and so much social disorder, we can finally put that in the past as we come together and go into the future, not under a President, but under our elected King. Ladies and Gentlemen...it is my pleasure to introduce...military commander...rebuilder of the Social Divide...our new King... An orange, blonde, navyblue suit man walks up onto the stage, he smiles at the crowd as he crosses the stage to the man at the podium, waving at the crowd the whole way. ...Donald J. Trump!" An uproar of cheers and praise shock the earth. Trump shock the man's hand before taking one of the microphones off its little stand, turning to the crowd. "Its time to make America great again!" The crowd cheered louder. He smiled and waved as the crowd through roses at his feet. Flash The crowd hushed and stared at the spot their King had been standing in a second ago, now replaced by a light fog of purple. Security rushed the stage and other political figures joined, looking around the floor, hoping this was a performance of some kind. The King was gone...but he was far from finishing his plans.
