Luna's Club of Reformed Villains... And Their Girlfriends

by ChillyKitty

Arriving ~ I

“Honestly, could this train be anymore unpleasant?” The blue unicorn scoffed, “The great and powerful Trixie would much rather be in her traveling cart.”

“C’mon Trix,” A purple unicorn who lied next to her on the train spoke, “It’s not that bad, if you really don’t like it you can try to nap-” a small yawn escaped her mouth, “Like me.” Starlight snuggled in next to her marefriend, practically purring like a kitten.

Trixie couldn’t help but look over at the purple lump beside her, a little smile on Starlight’s face caused Trixie to get warm, blushy cheeks. She sighed and laid down next to her love, giving into sleep within a moment. “Awe,” A high pitched voice squeaked, attempting to be quiet, “They’re so cute together.” Pinkie swooned.

“Can’t say I’m surprised.” Twilight said, “Those two have been close for a while now, it was only a matter of time before one confessed to the other.”

Pinkie nodded, she’d been very talkative since long before they even got on the train but now tiredness was getting to even her. Twilight seemed wide awake, reading a book in peace and Fluttershy took a nap next to Discord, only after he fell asleep first though. He kept on making entertainingly chaotic things and Fluttershy liked each one. Most made her laugh, some amazed her with a tiny, “Woah...” being heard by her friends.

Fluttershy’s friends were all sitting in seats a bit away from the her and Discord. Twilight had her back to the draconequus and pegasus, as she was sitting on the other side of their bench. Pinkie and her love sat opposite to Twilight and the two sleeping unicorn lovers had found a way to snuggle and sleep on the same bench on the other side of the train, right across from the reading princess.

Pinkie yawned, just a little yawn but it was enough for the gray stallion next to her to turn his head, “Tired?” he asked in his deep voice. Pinkie intended on being awake by the time they arrived in Canterlot so she could bring out her Wakey Wakey Eggs and Party Canon without the eggs and use it to wake everypony else up. However she did wake up super early because she was so excited about the trip and now she was yawning yet again.

She looked at Sombra for a moment before laying a head on his shoulder, he turned and kissed the top of her head. She smiled to herself, she’d been asked to try and reform him only a few months ago, but in that time, she fell in love. He still wasn’t widely trusted and frankly they are both too afraid to take him to the Crystal Empire. In fact he was only traveling to Canterlot because Twilight had forced him to under the condition that Pinkie would join him on the trip. Pinkie, of course, wanted to join him. As soon as she found out he was invited she was bouncing off the walls saying how fun it’ll be if Sombra made some new friends but Sombra made it clear that he wouldn’t want to leave Pinkie’s side, which was an obviously easy fix.

Sombra still didn’t want to go but he wouldn’t tell Pinkie that, after he already had made an excuse that failed him. Well, it didn’t completely fail him, he now had his pink marefriend resting on his shoulder. He looked out of the window, they’d left on the latest train that night and the moon was high in the sky. Twilight had apparently wanted to come earlier but Celestia wrote that they were making accommodations for them to stay at the palace and the room wouldn’t be ready until night so there wouldn’t be a point to arriving early.

The used-to-be tyrant hadn’t thought ahead, he doubted that’d he’d get any sleep on the train but he didn’t think to bring anything. He was well aware of Twilight, sitting in his peripherals, reading one of the plethora of books she brought. He would ask for a book to read but he tried that once before, he read something Twilight considered a ‘travel book’ and he didn’t ever want to be that bored again. He was fine with normal stories but Twilight’s travel books weren’t normal stories. They were long factual books with little to no personality or opinions. Sombra looked over to her, even the one she was reading now, “Equestria’s Flora and Fauna” Sombra was completely convinced that she’d read it before, perhaps she was trying to memorize it? He didn’t want to question the mare’s relationship with books, sometimes it seemed that given the choice between reading a book or meeting the love her life, she’d choose the book.

Twilight blinked hard, she’d fallen asleep and was now waking up to Pinkie Pie’s tired attempts of a super duper quick wake up party. She’d pulled out her party cannon and sent confetti flying through the air but that was about it. Discord and Fluttershy were both awake, Discord complained about not getting enough sleep but within moments he’d whipped out a table, tablecloth, teacups, saucers, a teapot, several bags of sentient tea and cucumber sandwiches with the crusts on the side, like he still intended to eat them. Fluttershy spoke in her normal soft voice but made it clear that there was no way they would have the time to have a full blown tea party, so he settled for giving everyone to go cups of tea.

Twilight politely declined, she wanted something to energize her but she didn’t trust Discord to not prank her cup. Pinkie almost took the tea but Sombra firmly declined tea for both of them, he must've had the same trust issues Twilight had. He used the excuse that she wouldn’t be able to sleep in the rooms the Princess’s provided and it would be rude if she didn’t get even a wink of sleep their. Of course that must've been slightly true but not the main reason for her lack of tea.

Starlight and Trixie each took tea but they were apparently laced with hot sauce, Twilight grinned a bit to herself, not at the couple’s shared pain but at the fact that she had made the right choice about the tea. Fluttershy laughed a bit at the prank but did eye Discord until he gave them normal tea, this time with milk in it to sooth the spicy burns.

They stepped off the train and saw that two royal night guards were waiting for them. “Hiya” Pinkie bounced, somehow gaining her energy back.

“Hello Sirs.” Twilight smiled.

“Welcome Princess Twilight Sparkle.” One guard replied, “We shall be your escorts to the castle.”

Twilight nodded in response. They started their travels immediately. Discord and Fluttershy were having a conversation but otherwise it was a rather peaceful walk through Canterlot.

“Oh I do hope they have tea.” The draconiquus spoke to his marefriend, “And perhaps live entertainment? Luna is a princess, she could have the entire court serving out every command.”

“Oh but those ponies shouldn’t be working at this hour, it’s very late.” Fluttershy said softly.

“Oh yes I suppose so,” he responded, “Wouldn’t want anypony to be sleep deprived. Although it would make messing with them easier.”

She gasped, “Discord!” it was clearly meant in a more playful as a smile still showed on the pegasus’s lips.

“What? I was kidding... Probably.” He grinned.

Twilight couldn’t help but role her eyes at the strange couple. She Continued walking straight, just behind the guards. She could hear Pinkie’s bouncing next to the steady clops of Sombra’s Hooves.

They soon arrived during a fork in their path. They’d entered the castle, the only ponies seen were night guards until this fork. Twilight blinked once, she barely felt it when a breeze hit her. They were in a hallway that was ultimately outdoors, you could easily trot off the marble floor and enter the garden. Twilight would’ve normally blinked at least at the breeze but instead she was preoccupied staring at the unicorn in front of her, their eyes locked.

“Fizzlepop!?!” A surprised squeak came from Pinkie.

“Oh um I still prefer Tempest.” She blushed a little, straightening up her posture and turning her eyes back to Twilight.

Twilight shook her head to snap herself out of her gaze, “Tempest,” she smiled, “I didn’t know you were back in Equestria.”

“I received an invitation from Princess Luna so I figured I should come.” She swayed a bit on her hooves, staring at the ground.

“Well it’s good to see you.” Twilight stated.

“You as well.” Tempest raised her eyes back to Twilight.

A guard stepped in, “I will bring the ‘plus ones’ to their rooms.”

The second guard finished the sentence, “and I shall bring those who are here to see Princess Luna down to her, em,” he paused, slightly confused about the command, “Clubroom.” he finally got out.

Twilight smiled a bit to herself, she was fairly certain that Celestia told him to call it that. “Well you shouldn’t keep Princess Luna waiting.” She nodded to the guards and they both turned and started trotting in there own directions, “See you later, Tempest.” Twilight said over her shoulder.

“Promise you’ll be nice.” Fluttershy spoke softly.

“Of course.” Discord smirked, anyone who saw him would assume he was lying but Fluttershy trusted him so she turned to follow her alicorn friend.

“See ya Sombra~” Pinkie sang her goodbye, hugging him tightly for a moment then letting go and jumping after the others.

The remaining unicorn guard didn’t slow his pace in the other direction, instead he cleared his throat to get the guests’ attention. “Oh.” Tempest spoke when she realized they were supposed to follow. They all stepped at a fair speed to catch up to the guard, they then slowed their pace to match his. Discord had decided to hover his way instead of using his hoof and claw, and Trixie was practically leaning on Starlight. Sombra and Tempest were as straight faced as ever. Tempest could feel her heart beating slightly faster as her nerves were catching up to her. “U-uhm, I don’t believe I’ve ever met any of you, my name is Tempest Shadow.” She glanced at the others.

“Oh surely you’ve-” Trixie yawned, “Heard of the great and powerful Trixie.” She didn’t even role her ‘r’ in her great and powerful drowsiness.

Starlight laughed a little, “I’m Starlight Glimmer and this,” she nudged her marefriend, “Is Trixie Lulamoon.”

“Well I’m the spirit of chaos, Discord,” he examined his claw as if he though one might’ve chipped, “But you probably figured that out, I mean have you ever seen anything more chaotic than me?” his body parts temporarily detached has a couple tiny fireworks came from his ears.

“Nice to meet you..” Tempest forced her smile to stay on her face, “and you are?” she politely asked the gray pony who really didn’t look like he wanted to be there.

He sighed before straightening himself out, looking straight forward rather than making eye contact,“I am Sombra.” he said calmly.

Tempest tried to give a polite smile and nod, she only managed the nod part though.

It wasn’t long before the guard stopped to open a door, “This is the club-room, Princess Luna awaits your entry.” He swung the door open with his magic and stood at the side to let the rest enter.

Tempest dipped her head to thank the guard as she passed and the rest of the ragtag group filtered in.

There was a circle of chairs that seemed to have been placed around a non existent circular table. Sitting at the far end of the room in the largest of the chairs was a dark coated mare with a mane and tail that replicated her night’s sky.

She stood and walked towards the new arrivals, “Greetings, I thank though for join me this night and for the next few nights to come. Welcome to my club of reformed villains.”

Author's Note:

Woop de doo, my first story I'm posting here. I have a few more ... serious stories planned, but I just wanted to get something out. So I give you a silly romance.

It should be noted that I don't ship most of the ships that are going to be in this. I ship Celestia x Discord, Starlight x Sunburst and Twilight x Star Tracker but none of those are going to be in this so if you prefer other ships I still think you'll like this story ^^;;; or at least I hope you will~!

Thanks for reading <3

P.S. I didn't come up with the idea for Pinkie to reform Sombra, I believe RainbowBob did and although our stories are unrelated you shoukd still go read Feeling Pinkie Mean cause it's great. (Even though it'll prolly never get finished)
