Transending love

Chapter 1the storm

What should have been an average day for Ponyville was disturbed by an unusual storm head forming over town square. “It’s such a shame that such a beautiful day has to be ruined by a storm.” Rarity commented to herself as the clouds shadows swarmed her on her way home from the spa.

“Rarity!” Twilight called “What are doing?! Get in here!” Beckoning her friend over with a hoof Twilight held the door to her library home open. Thunder crashed overhead and rain started to fall. Rarity didn’t need another reason nor did she want one and quickly took her friends offer.

“Thanks Twilight.” Rarity said, her hooves clacking on the wood floor as she trotted over to the fire.

“Hey there Rarity.” Spike said surprised to see her. Rarity turned to greet him only to see a pile of wood for the fire.

“Hello Spike. Dreadful weather we’re having don’t you agree?” Rarity greeted thankful for the additional fuel. Strangely enough she had spent almost no time in the storm yet it chilled her to the bone. Before Spike could answer Twilight interrupted form behind the multitude of books she was reading.

“Oh there you are Spike any luck with my letter to Princess Celestia.”

“No nothing.”

“Ugh. Spike go fetch us some tea, chamomile would be perfect.” Twilight groaned returning to her studies. Rarity practically read the emotions in her friend’s voice annoyance and . . . . was that worry? The last time she heard that in Twilight’s voice was when her friend had been frantic about her letter to Princess Celestia being late. Rarity shuddered that was something she didn’t want a repeat performance of.

“Um Twilight dear is there something wrong?” Rarity asked glancing at some of the titles her friend was reading. A Pegasus’s Guide to Weather Control, Weather patterns and their effects on magic, Natural spells: wind and rain volume IV, Natural disasters and You: A Unicorns guide to survival. Rarity was pretty sure that last one was just a bunch of hog wash thrown together by some lunatic who just wanted to make some quick money, but if Twilight had that book in her library then there must be something in it worthwhile.

“Yes there is Rarity, haven’t you noticed the storm out there?” Twilight had obviously forgotten that was the very reason they were having this discussion in the first place. “Well the pegusi didn’t schedule a storm for today and there just as confused as I am on where it came from. Even worse is that the storm seems to be interfering with my letters to the princess.” Spike came in at that time carrying the tea. “Thanks Spike.” Twilight said levitating a cup over to her. Rarity took a cup as well cupping it in her hooves as the steam drifted into her muzzle. Grateful for the warmth that seeped into her forelegs she wasn’t aware that Twilight was talking to her again. “Rarity are you alright your shivering.” Until that moment she hadn’t been aware that she was.

“I’m fine Twilight just a little cold that’s all.” Rarity shook off her friend’s worried hoof. Twilight draped a spare blanket over her as Rarity took a sip of tea. “Ooh, Spike this is simply heavenly.” Rarity cooed as the warmth spread through her body causing her to shiver even more. Spike blushed and kicked his foot in embarrassment.

“Th-thanks Rarity.” Spike stuttered still staring at the floor.

“Focus Casanova I need you to try again the princess would like to know of the storms unusual characteristics.” Twilight scolded, levitating a scroll over to Spike. Lightning flashed as green flames enveloped the scroll, only to form once again not two feet away. “Ugh. Not again what’s going on I just don’t know.” Twilight collapsed on the floor holding her head like she would when she had one major headache.

“Um Twilight I don’t think this is the letter I just tried to send.” Spike mumbled reading over the scroll.

“What do you mean Spike I just saw you send it what else could it be?!!” Twilight screamed as she ripped the scroll out of his claws.

Dear Prince Solaris

I write to you concerning a thunderstorm that has formed over our town of Ponyville. As you already know my friend Rainbow Blitz is one of our town’s weather pegusi and has assured me in his own way that they are not responsible for this storm. One has been scheduled for tomorrow. I am inclined to believe him as Barbara has had trouble sending any previous letters. It can be safely assumed that said storm is causing this interference. Perhaps there is something about this unusual phenomenon in the Canterlot archives.

Awaiting Your Quick Response Your Faithful Student
Dusk Shine

P.S. If you are reading this then the storm has probably passed there for there shouldn’t be any more interference.
P.S.S. Say Hi to Prince Artemis for me will you I haven’t heard from him since last Nightmare Night.

Twilight stood there staring in shock. This couldn’t be right it was her letter but wasn’t at the same time. Everything was the same except for the names and obviously the gender. ‘Who is this Prince Solaris was he Princess Celestia’s brother? Did she even have a brother? Rainbow Blitz may be a cousin of Rainbow’s but why haven’t I seen him before if he supposedly lives in here in Ponyville? Not to mention I have no idea who Dusk Shine or Barbara is I really should have heard of another pony living with, a baby dragon would be my guess, by now.’ With all the questions running through her head Rarity’s words didn’t reach her.

“Twilight dear you shouldn’t stand there with your mouth open it is most unlady like.” Rarity commented closing Twilight’s mouth with her magic.

“Thanks Rarity I just don’t understand this isn’t my letter but what else could it be?” Twilight massaged her head as her mind spun trying with all its might to comprehend what was happening. Something was wrong with this scroll there was a faint magical trace to it. Twilights jaw dropped again this time it nearly hit the floor. Now that she focused on it she was confused as to why she didn’t sense it before it was her magic mixed in with a different for lack of a better term wave length one that she had not sensed ever. She didn’t need Rarity to close it for her this time words were forming before Rarity even noticed. “Spike get me Magical Properties: Thermodynamics and Unicorns wave lengths. Volume III!” Twilight raced over to her desk using her magic to brush everything off except some scrolls ink and a quill.

“Uh which one did you want again?” Spike called from upstairs having figured it was in Twilights personal collection.

“That really big book that rants on and on about the differences found in magic.” Twilight grunted pulling out some scrolls containing notes she already took.

“I can see that you’re going to be very busy and I hate to impose.” Rarity said as she got to her hooves.

“What? Have you forgotten about the storm I can’t let you go out there! No you’re staying here until it passes.” Twilight nearly screamed stomping her hoof at the end to make her point. The glare Twilight gave her nearly swayed Rarity into doing just that, the thunder that just boomed clinched it.

“I guess I could stay.” Rarity mumbled as Spike came down carrying a large tome that was obviously too big for him to carry at that time.

“Here Twilight.” Spike collapsed as Twilight took the book in her telekinesis. Rarity couldn’t help but wonder how heavy that book was, it was larger than Spike, in both width and length. Her answer came when Twilight let the book fall with a thud. ‘Well that answers that question.’ Rarity thought as she felt the shockwave travel through her bones. Once again her friend power astounded her. Twilight didn’t even seem to be concentrating on anything much less the book.

“Thanks Spike.” Twilight said flipping through the book for what she was looking for. “Ah here it is.” Any more conversation with the lavender unicorn was impossible as she started taking notes and cross referencing the ones she already had. More thunder flashed not even fazing Twilight during her studies. Spike jumped at the sudden boom vanishing before the light faded. Rarity started to get concerned about her little dragon friend until she felt him shaking from underneath the blanket she was using. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Is my little Spikey – Whikey afraid of a little lightning?” Rarity teased. It wasn’t very lady like but she just couldn’t help herself.

“No, of course not.” Spike said trying to act brave. That act was soon shattered as more thunder boomed. “Well this isn’t exactly normal though.” Spike was cowering behind Rarity as he corrected himself.

“Your right about that it sends shivers down my spine. I don’t like rain to begin with it ruins my perfectly styled mane, but this, this just steals the warmth from your very soul.” Rarity shivered as if her body was expressing agreement with her words. “I hope Twilight doesn’t strain herself too hard.”

“Eh there’s no stopping her now if it wasn’t for Princess Celestia’s intervention she wouldn’t have put down the books before she came to Ponyville.” Spike remarked. A casual shrug made his point.

“Gah this isn’t fair there’s nothing in anything any of these books’ concerning the possibility of dual signatures in magical auras. I can’t figure this out it shouldn’t be possible. Even Pinkie Pie’s Pinkie sense made more sense than this.” Twilight screamed throwing her notes everywhere.

“Do you think this was a good idea Luna” Asked a midnight blue alicorn. Luna at first was quite disturbed about seeing what appeared to be a stallion version of her-self and it was no easier on him. Over hearing somepony talking to her sister in a bathroom was weird enough but to hear a stallion call her sweet thing was just strait out disturbing. That ignited her curiosity what finalized it was hearing Celestia respond by calling him hot stuff. When her sister left Luna entered seeing nothing but a mirror confused her. No way out so the stallion couldn’t have left without being seen. She could sense the magical signature of her sister on the mirror. A simple feat of retracing the spell last used and Luna soon found her-self staring into the eyes of a stallion that looked disturbingly like her. His coat was the same as hers he was a little taller but the legs were still long thin and spindle like obviously not that much older than her if even at all. What bothered her the most, was the cutie mark. They shared the exact same cutie mark a crescent moon on a splotch that looked like black ink on the flank. Luna shook her head that was a memory for another time.

“I can’t think of a better way to thank them Artemis.” Luna responded.

“Maybe but what if big brother finds out about this he won’t be happy.” Artemis spoke just barely above a whisper.

“I know what you mean big sister wouldn’t be happy either.” Luna returned equally soft.

“There is no going back, the best way to thank the bearers of the Elements of Harmony is to introduce them to their perfect match.” Artemis finalized.

“I hope this doesn’t go wrong like with what happened with the nightmare.” Luna shivered as she spoke the last word. Artemis shared her concern about that event.

“And I as well all we wanted to do was show them the beauty of our night and we tried to bring night time eternal.”

“The Bearers stopped us and set us free we must show them our appreciation.” Hoof steps brought the two back to the present. “Until next time Artemis.” Luna ended the spell as she ripped her necklace off releasing the spell used to give her mane the royal appearance. She grabbed a brush with her magic.

“Lulu what are you doing in here.” Celestia was shocked to see her little sister.

“Celly can’t I brush my mane without you interrupting just once.” Luna complained

“Sorry Lulu I didn’t expect to find you here.” Celestia said through a fit of giggles.

“That was the whole point Celly.” Luna started pouting as Celestia stole the brush from her. Luna stopped pouting and a smile found its way onto her muzzle as Celestia wrapped her wings around Luna’s body and started to brush the younger’s mane without magic. A small feat that hasn’t happened since Luna was a foal, before the founding of Equestria when neither was a princess.

“You know Lulu there’s nothing you can’t tell me.” Celestia whispered setting down the brush.

“I know Celly I know.” Luna cuddled close to her sister in an embrace that they haven’t shared in over four thousand years.

“Yet you found it worthwhile to hide the storm you created over Ponyville and the reason why.”

“You know about that huh.” Luna’s blush could almost be seen through her coat. Though it was obvious to Celestia, who had known her for millennia, that Luna was embarrassed.

“Next time try that during the night not during the day when everypony can see it.” Celestia could barely restrain her laughter.

“That would beat the entire purpose.” Luna mumbled “If nopony saw it.”

“Enlighten me.”

“When the storm does its job.” Luna couldn’t help but wonder if Artemis was having a similar conversation at the same time.

“I’ll hold you to that Lulu.” Celestia cooed.

Authors note:

I want this to be good and it's slowly moving to something I like.

[preaplanes]

“Rarity!” Twilight called “What are doing get in here.”
I'd edit that to "What are you doing?! Get in here!", unless the intent of that dialogue isn't exclamatory in nature, in which case drop the exclamation points.

Had to make an early note of that as it did pull me out of the story, and I'll add in more later if I see more stuff that does that.

discussion in the first place. “Well the pegusai didn’t schedule
The plural is Pegasi

Those are the most immediate, but upon further reading I noticed several other errors of a technical nature, such as grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I'd run this by somebody for proofreading. Teachers and professors usually don't judge even if you're still a closeted brony.

[Rainy Meadows]

Don't beat yourself up: you just need to work on your spelling and grammar

[i_am_the_jam]

And punctuation. The dialogue seems choppy and robotic, almost.

[Ralfil]

Okay. This looks like a good story, but you seem to have a serious problem with run-on sentences. I suggest getting a pre-reader or something like that.

[Thrawn1800]

Punctuation.
