A carriage flew through the sky, the few ponies who saw it gaping with wonder. Inside, there was five ponies. All of the ponies were alicorns. In fact, two of them were still to be announced to the public.
Inside of the royal carriage joyous laughter could be heard to anypony who tried hard enough to listen. Shadows from the curtains showed an alicorn dancing around. Though her shadows were black, the royals inside of the flying carriage knew her every color, shape, and size.
This alicorn had a light lavender coat. If you looked close enough into her wonderous purple irises, some say you could get lost in them. Her mane was long and sleek, with the color being a dark blue with pink and purple stripes.
Another alicorn stood up. This one had a light blue coat with a rainbow mane and pink eyes. She was laughing a bit, before speaking to the lavender pony.
"Twilight, that is not how you dance. Lemme show ya how it's done," she spoke. The pony known as Twilight sat down with a snort.
The rainbow alicorn started dancing with agility. Her sleek moves earned 'ohs' and 'ahhs' from the alicorns around her. Twilight rolled her eyes but smiled.
Another alicorn stood up, this one taller than the other two. Her coat was a navy blue, and her mane was midnight blue. Stars twinkled as her mane swirled around in a ethereal wind.
"Alright you two. You guys are silly," Luna grabbed Twilight's head and messed up her mane. Rainbow Dash laughed until her mother came over and did the same to her.
All three ponies sat back down. Luna turned her head towards her sister, the princess of the sun. She opened her mouth to speak.
"What do you think Equestria will say about Starry Night's return?" she asked.
Celestia turned her head to face Luna. She furrowed her brow a bit in thought. "Hm, it is possible that they might be a bit more accepting than they were for you. I mean, they've already gone through your return, along with the wedding invasion of Princess Cadance and Captain Armor."
Luna tilt her head slightly at Rainbow Dash, who curled up in a ball to take a nap. "What about the return of Dashie's alicornism and immortality? Equestria has to deal with two coronations then."
Celestia put a hoof to her younger sister's chin. "It'll be okay, sister. Please, stop worrying and just be happy that Starry Night AND your two daughters are back."
Luna nodded at her sister's words. Celestia removed her hoof from the younger alicorn's chin and continued to stare out the window.
Luna couldn't help herself from thinking about what'll happen later on. What if Equestria decides that they don't want two more alicorns in the royal family? It was quite possible. After all, they did have what, four without counting Starry or her daughters? That'll be six alicorns if including the new discoveries.
Luna shook her head. Celestia was right. She needed to stop thinking about it. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
Meanwhile, the carriage flew down. Twilight opened the curtain on her side to see if they were landing. The Canterhorn mountain lay in front of them, and the city of Canterlot stood with great pride.
Dash groaned and opened her eyes. She stretched out her limbs before standing on all four hooves. She turned her head away from Twilight with another groan.
"Ugh, Twilight... close the curtains, it's too bright," Dash murmured.
Suddenly the door of the carriage opened. A royal guard stood there, a poker face upon him, not threatening to be changed.
"Your Majesties, we have arrived at Canterlot," he spoke with a firm tone, not an ounce of fear from talking to royalty like other ponies.
Princess Celestia lifted her head and nodded. "Of course, Rift Shield. We will gather our belongings and take our leave. Thank you for telling us."
Rift Shield saluted before closing the carriage door and departing. Luna had already placed her saddlebag on her back. Celestia stood up from her seat and levitated her essentials onto her back as well as Twilight.
Dash attempted to once more light her horn, but was unable to. Instead, her aunt Starry Night used her magic and levitated it on her niece.
"Thanks," Rainbow thanked.
Starry nodded. "No problem. But say, would you like me to teach you how to do magic? I don't like to brag, but I'm a better magic user than even Celestia."
Rainbow stared at her eldest aunt with awe. "Really? You'd do that?" Starry nodded. "Gee, thanks a bunch, Star!"
Starry Night cocked her head. "Star...?"
Rainbow and Twilight gave her a confused look. "Yeah, Star. You know, like Starry, but it's shorter. Kinda like a nickname. I go by Dashie by my family, and Twilight gets called either Twi or Twily."
"That's what ponies call it these days? Nicknames?"
Celestia nodded. "Indeed, sister. But how did you not know of this? Weren't you in Equestria for five years prior to now?"
Starry Night nodded. "I did come back to Equestria five years ago, but I went by the name of Astelle and mostly stayed hidden and practiced magic. As an alicorn, I didn't need to eat anything, so I stayed in a small village that not many knew about."
Celestia nodded and opened the door to the carriage. She allowed Rainbow Dash and Twilight to walk out first before following them. "So you never actually seen Equestria, have you?"
Starry shook her head. "Nope. Besides the village and the Crystal Empire, I haven't been to any place."
Celestia gave Luna a smirk, who gave a sly smile in return. "Then we think you'll enjoy seeing Canterlot, sister," Luna replied.
The two alicorns allowed Starry Night to step out of the carriage, who then gasped in shock. She stared at the white marble that the city was built out of, and the touches of gold on the vast castle before her.
"Welcome to Canterlot, Starry Night."
"...Whoa."
Great start, can't wait for the next chapter
Very good start, it will be very interesting to see rainbow dash learn magic.
boy it would suck if Rainbow accidently summoned JARAXXUS EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEAGION
A like for effort
BLASPHEMIE! There is no such thing as 'too much Monochromatic', only not enough.

Lol of course.
Never say that! Everything goes wrong. For example, when Twilight sang a song about how happy she was and how great Ponyville was, she finds out that she switched her friends' cutie marks.

Shouldn't that be 7 Alicorns. Flurry heart makes 5 and RD 6 so Starry Night should make 7. Right?
