14-Fresh Air
Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow needed to get some fresh air. There was only so long they could stay in that room. What they really needed to do was distract Pinkie and get her as close to normal as possible after recent events. They wanted their hyperactive friend back. They wanted to see Pinkie smile once again.
Leaving the Castle infirmary, the trio soon made their way onto the deserted streets of Canterlot. Not a single soul was in sight on the normally packed streets and bustling markets. It was as if they were walking through some sort of ghost town instead of their nation’s capital and most famous city. Without a plan in mind, the trio opted to try and find a cafe, and if that failed simply heading to the park on the edges of Canterlot would do just as well.
It didn’t take long for the pair to find several cafe’s but to their dismay, all of them were empty with a ‘closed until further notice’ sign outside or against the glass walls/door of the establishment. So they went with ‘Plan B’ and headed towards the park overlooking the valley below. It wouldn’t be the best place to cheer pinkie up, but it would allow them to think about what they were going to do about Jolyne.
They needed to get her away from the Princesses; Their actions against her were simply unforgivable. All they needed to do was get her somewhere they couldn’t reach her. Somewhere she could stay until a way home was found for her.
Heavy gray clouds obscured the sky as the Trio entered the abandoned Park. It looked just like the rest of the Capital with not a single pony in sight save for each other. It really was quite harrowing for them all. A park usually filled with foals, parents, joggers, and everything in-between now completely abandoned. The silence of the park only being broken by the songs and sounds of the birds up above. A distant sound of a train pulling into Canterlot just barely audible to the group.
They made their way towards the railing overlooking the valley below Mount Canterhorn. It was a beautiful view, even with the oppressive cloud coverage overhead. The green hills and forests cascading towards the mountains to the west. The blue tint of the Ocean was just barely visible over them. The dark and foreboding viridian of the Everfree Forest meshing with the happy and cheerful leaf green of open fields and Applejack’s Orchard on the edges of Ponyville before turning brown as the scenery changed to the Rambling Rock Ridge.
So many memories were had by all of them. Some from their Childhood and others from Adulthood. But the only things that came to mind now were the memories regarding Jolyne. They all had positive memories and she didn’t doubt that Jolyne has had many too but since her arrival and their first meeting. It has contained nothing but pain and suffering for her. No good times with friends like the rest of them, just pain and her first encounter with ponykind being the threat of petrification to stone.
How could it have all gone so wrong? It saddened them to no end that this creature has endured so much hardship in such a short amount of time.
Bringing their gaze away from their home of Ponyville their eyes followed the great ravine of Ghastly Gorge to the Macintosh Hills and the barely visible town of Appleoosa just beneath it. The glint of the glassy wasteland giving the mountains an eerie glow of reflected light. The mere reminder of what had happened such a short time ago bringing a shiver down their spines.
The sheer power that had been released there was equally awe-inspiring and terrifying to behold. The heat and power so intense, they doubted anyone but Celestia could have withstood it.
But Celestia did.
Not only holding against the flame turning sand to glass, but managing to push against it and save Jolyne from death. It was noble, It was brave, but it was all because of Celestia’s folly that it was necessary. Because of Luna’s reaction that Jolyne came into contact with Celestia in the first place. They needed to get her away from the Princesses
They turned their gazes north, away from the desert, away from the glass, and away from the Everfree. The green landscape turned to white as the grandiose backdrop of the crystal mountains covered the Horizon. The faint specs of clouds depositing soft snow onto the frozen mountains below. The Glint of the top of the crystal palace peeking above the mountains. Giving off a slight pink hue due to the magic of the crystal heart keeping the raging blizzards of the north out of the city.
Could they have seen The Blast?
Did they feel the ground shake?
Did they even know what had happened?
How were Cadence and Shining Armor faring?
Her air exploded with energy. Turning from a dull straight mane to a lively, exploding with pink, poofball that was her trademark hairstyle.
“I’ve got it!” Pinkie shouted suddenly and excitedly, startling her friends out of their viewing of the landscape with a small yelp.
“Lands sakes Pinkie! Don’t give us a fright like that.” Responded Applejack holding a hand over her now rapidly beating heart.
“Yeah Pinkie almost gave me a heart attack.” Added Rainbow coming down from the cloud she had jumped up to.
“Sorry girls but I just had to as I’ve got the bestest, the most perfect Idea that we really should have thought of already!” Pinkie continued, still high on energy.
“Well, what’s your idea Pinks?” Asked Rainbow curiously.
“We should get Cadence!” Answered Pinkie happily. And as the pair thought about her idea it didn’t take them long to realize that it was exactly the answer they had been looking for. If Cadence agreed to take her in, and with the current situation that outcome was highly likely, it would solve everything.
“Hey, that’s.... not a half-bad Idea Pinkie!” Responded Applejack a smile forming on her lips. Rainbow also gave her approval to the idea shortly afterward. They began to make their way back to the Castle, all of their moods significantly higher than when they first left. Now it was just up to telling Twilight what they had come up with. And with Pinkie practically bouncing off the walls again it wouldn’t take long for the rest of their friends to realize they came bearing good news.
Me lo esperaba más largo pero aún así está muy bien echo,espero que sigas subiendo más episodios

¿Me parezco al tipo de tipo que de repente dejaría de actualizar algo que me encanta escribir?
10622257
(has traumatic flashback to french class)
me hermanas el pez
10622257
The fact that your comment is in Spanish and your profile picture is Cadenze made me laugh.You know ,becesue her name ,like Sombra are Spanish .
Too bad there is no one doing that with also with Cadence as a username
Like on youtube people create accounts and pretend to be someone or something, like accounts that are named FBI with a matching avatar and play the role, pretend for fun.
This probably can't happen on fimfiction because it would be counted as fake accounts and more monitored
Yay update.
Wow, I almost forgot about her.
well I do like the updates the chapters are just too short if you want me to continue to read this story
then you will have to make them longer
Now. How will he react to a new princess?
Update!!! - - -
Heh so Flurry Heart will have a sister.
You know.....an Empire needs to be a real Empire ,not just in the name.
They especially can't be a puppet country of Equestria
Equestria and other countries like Changeling Hive ,would look great under Crystal Empire rule as an real Empire
Happy birthday then I hope it's not too late🎂
10622356
it's today! 🎉
10622357
Fun fact mine was last night🤣
CANT WAIT FOR CADENCE TO FRICK UP JOLENE.
10622359
By the way I think this story just got featured again you should check it out.
10622362
Nah, I don't think that would happen. Mabye if Jolyne would have been a changeling, although even then I wouldn't expect Cadance to hurt a child. It's already a bit ridiculous that Celestia and Luna have done so... *shrug*
10622402
She’s still gonna frick it up. Notice the lack of a Cadence tag. Which means they don’t even get there or she sucks at it.
10622428
Considering you can only put five character tags on a story, that doesn't have to mean anything.
10622430
Oh yeah, still she most likely fricks up or only gets mentioned. Also Shining armor might do something.
10622431
You might have a point with Shining, I suppose. Most of the time I don't have that high of an opinion of the stallion and quite a few authors on this site seem to have a similar view, I don't know how many stories I have read where Shining Armor is a complete *fluffy bunny* to the main character of the story. It happens seldomly where Cadance is the one that behaves that way. >.>
10622436
I was mostly saying he thinks she’s a changeling and does something. On purpose or accidental or something.
Celestia sends out the mane six on pretty mutch all kind of suicide mission. I look forward to a moment Celestia do it again but they simply refused her on the grounds that a Alicorn like her could do it herself. Celestia lost there trust and when they notice they being used and get but a warm hoofshake for literally lethal missions... I can see it:
Celestia: "Thanks for coming after i send one sqaud of my guards to summening you all. I needs you to..."
Applejack: "Hold on a applebucking second princess."
Celestia: "What...?" Applejack im a bussy farmer and your pulling me from my farm to play royal guard?" Pinkie piped in: "Yeah she is a farmer not a soldier silly filly". Pinkie jumped energeticly in place. Celestia was baffeld at Applejack refusal. Pinkie continued: "Im a Confectionist, party pony and welcome to Ponyville greeting one mare comitee, i dont like playing soldier since ponys can get hurt!". Applejack spoke next: " We saved your sister and Equestria and get nothing but a few words of thanks, perhaps a banquet we didnt as for. Banana splits are not worth the trouble. Celestia was at a lost of Applejack honest critic of her. Rainbowdash continued with a timid behavior: "As future Wonderbold im a future member of the Equestria airforce so i dont mind but no one of the others is willing to join your military. Especially since your betrayed our trust." Celestia jaw dropped open as if Discord himself had wrenched it open. Fluttershy continued with strong conviction: "You and Luna hurt a young filly more than ones. Almost killing her TWICE! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF." Fluttershy huffed with a justicied angry snort. Rarity added: " Im a fashion designer not a ruffhousing brute darling." Celestia eye twiched uncontrolled. Twilight finished this conversation with: "With all do respect, im a Princess not a running delivery service for fixing stuff, i got stuff to do." In unison they turned and left Celestia in the throne room. Luna standing silently besides the throne the conversation unfolding added: "Im still weak from the rainbow to the face... Have fun squeeze your cake rump into your old armor and smithe this problem yourself. Also were is my throne?" Luna stand up and left the area. Celestia muttered to herself: "I think i bucked up... Maybe i shouldnt have treated em like a toothbrush and rather like ponys that deserved more than thanks and a meal for there trouble...".
I've been following this story from the beginning and I only just now realized I didn't track and fav it?! No!
This shall be remedied at once!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Cant wait for some one to yell at the mane 6 for idiots
Happy b day!
10622257
No sólo quise decir que espero los siguientes episodios con mucha emoción
This is a great birthday gift.
Happy birthday
Not sure it would be a good idea to have a nightmare creature near the crystal hart. It might hurt Jolyne. And Happy Birthday LSTS Connor.
10622958
True it's just like the elements of Harmony they can't tell between true evil and good
Personally, I can understand why Celestia did what she did. Did she do the right thing? No. But she messed up, it happens. She realized she messed up and then proceeded to stop the mess she made from killing the others.
The very fact she shows regret, is enough to show she wasn't trying to kill her. Hell if the whole Plunder vine thing didn't happen, she most likely would have removed the inhibitor ring anyways.
Anyways Celestia had good reasons (not good moral reasons) to use the inhibitor ring. Imagine a person obtains nearly god levesl of magic with possibly a hair trigger and doesn't understand a damn thing about it, but most likely (very likely) to cause destruction if left alone with all this magic, while untrained.
Than add on the tons other problems, like healthy paranoia, fear of the unknown, possible child with a nuke button, noble class, paperwork, goverment running, bad experience with Nightmares, Fear of a untrained child with PTSD that possibly has potential to nuke everyone out of fear if not inhibited , paperwork, nobles, being drowned in paperwork.
Hell if I was Celestia I would have done the same thing. While not the morally right choice, it was the right decision in the moment.
P.S
Hell people kinda forget that She sends the Six to deal with things Because they are the pony equivalent of a "Heroic band of Adventures". They are Heros of equestria and usually seem to be the only ones that can actually handle things.
And there actions towards her are better? They all need a slap to the face.
There is no place they can take her and they might be necessary to get her home. As usual they have no real thought put into anything they do or try to do.
10623195
Yeah but the Mane 6 don't think about that or what they have done as well.
10622288
I thought Mi Amor Cadenza was “I Love Cadence” in French.
10623808
its my love Cadence in spanish
10622430
it really is only because of the 5 tag limit that cadence and shining arent there xd
10622436
also diggin the new look XD
I fuckin L O V E changelings
10624018
Thank you. Took me about five hours or so, I think. Debated whether to make the mane an icy blue or white, I went with white because it has the spider look. :3
10624021
wait you drew it?! Oh holy shiet
Lemme just uhhhh
*Makes note in my book of artists I should see if I can commission*
10624033
Uh... yes. I don't draw that often, though. Mainly if I got an idea stuck in my head. I toyed with the idea of writing a changeling story for a while now, so that was the first attempt, I suppose, of drawing a cover art. I don't think it would work all that well for that purpose, though. So I just decided to use it as a profile pic. I drew the cover art for my stories, too, although I kinda cheated with the one for 2/1... the one for Twin Suns I drew without any aid. :3
Edit: Btw. the previous avatar was also kinda 'changeling'-ish, just a bit more humanized. *shrug*
Well, let's see how that goes...
Thats funny considering that Dash was the only one that was doing that threat and the others didn't do much in defending the poor child.
Yeah, anyywho questions the princesses about what happened isn't going to get very nice answers. And if they give a public explanation that isn't qccurate the EoH will f8nd out, and THAT certainly would screw the princesses over.
I doubt Twilight would want to be a princess after this, if its any indication of how a new alicorn would be treated.
10622288
There is one user having Fimfiction as a sattle on a pony
10622290
She is perfect. Flurryheart would get a sister that would like Luna and Celestia can share the heavy load of there King/Queendome/Empire, and dont have to suffer eternaty alone.
10622334
Ruling is a hard job. Cadance and Shining Armor share it. Later they can expect to share this burden eith Flurryheart and Jolyne
10622357
You have the same day as my oldest brother Huh... Neat Hope you enjoyed your birthday
10622364
Damn... That one impressive videoclip. Forshadowing for something?
10622402
Friendship laser to the face might help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10622430
To be fair... Vexause of the Avatar on profile and Cadance role on possible adoption the 'Cadance Tag' really should be included even if some other have to be replaced
10622440
Doubt it. Sunbutt and Moonflank tell them what they think they see in this Filly. Outcome:
- He proves his worth on chewing them out
- He is basicly neutral ( Innocent until proven guilty )
- Hes not worth his salt or Cadance and fucks it up
10625788
I'd probably throw out the 'Oc' tag, then. *shrug*
10625790
Yep , sounds good.
10624021
Spiderbody attributes? Like this:
Spiderweb based magic extras like:
Sticky web, sharp web, soft web, hard web. Combine em all and you have a lightweight all round armor.
Vs. Spears/Arrows etc.
10625800
Just what in the name of *fluffy bunnies* have I just watched? o_o
10625836
The manga is on youtube as audio reading. 12 hours plus or something. Shield hero would be like 20-30 hours (^-^)/)♡
why, fimfiction, Didn't notify me of this new chapter?
