Author's Note:

Author's Note: Hey there! This is my first My Little Pony story, and it's a spinoff story from one of my favorite fanfic series, the Royal Canterlot Family!

I would like to thank KidatHeart5 for her help with this story.

Disclaimer, I do not own My Little Pony. It belongs to Hasbro. The only thing I do own is Cloudy Winds, Sky and Vapor's daughter.

Prologue
Storytime

In the land of Paraddock, a group of ponies traversed through Turkey Wood. The group consisted of Princess Gale Force, Princes Cuff and Ruff, Princess Opulence, Princess Turquoise, Prince Oddball, Princess Corona Shine, Prince Jamboree and all of their parents.

"I can't wait to see Sky and Vapor again!" Jam happily exclaimed.

"Me too!" Opal agreed.

Whirl remarked, "It would certainly be nice to finally meet them after all that they have done."

Sky answered, "We already did at Flurry and Mischief's wedding."

"True, but I meant on a personal level." Sky merely shrugged in agreement.

Suddenly, a pack of cold turkey jumped out of the bushes and ran past the royal family. Joyfully chasing after them was a familiar griffin.

"Oh! Hey guys!"

"Gabby!" The kids, minus Gale, shouted. They ran up to Gabby and dog piled onto her. Gabby noticed the young Pegasus standing off to the side.

"Hi there. I'm Gabby. What's your name?"

Gale's face lit up and flew up to the griffin. "Hi! I'm Gale Force."

"Do you want to be friends?"

"Yes! Friends!" Gale cheered as she joined in the pile.

Another rustling from the bushes. This time, a dark blue Pegasus emerged.

"Oh! Hey kids."

"Sky Stinger!" The young royals untangled from Gabby and pounced onto the adult.

Sky wheezed, "Ack! Kids . . . can't breathe!"

"Okay kids. Get off him," Starling said.

"Yes Aunt Starling/Mommy," the kids said. They picked themselves off Sky Stinger. Sky got up and looked over at the older royals.

"And it's nice to meet you folks again. Man, it's been awhile since the wedding."

"Told ya," Sky Blitz teased, her husband jokingly rolling his eyes.

"What brings you folks here?"

Cannon Fire answered, "The whole family decided to visit Capri at her palace, but the kids wanted to see you and Vapor first."

Jam added, "But, we wanted it to be a surprise, so. . . Surprise!" Sky Stinger chuckled at the colt's enthusiasm.

"Well, let's getting going!" The group set out to the nearby chateau.

*

Even after a year since the Dark Riders incident, the chateau was still as beautiful as ever. The one difference from before was a bigger fence around the garden.

"Welcome to our humble abode!" Sky Stinger announced. Before they could press forward, a little white blur flew right into Sky Stinger's side, knocking him over. The blur, a one year old Pegasus filly with white fur and light blue eyes that matched her mother and a sea green mane and tail that matched her father's.

"Da-da!" The baby filly babbled.

Sky Stinger smiled. "Hey there, sweetie."

Gabby piped up, "Oh Cloudy, how about a hug for your big sister?" The foal, Cloudy, looked up and flew towards the griffin.

"Gab-gab!" Cloudy nuzzled into Gabby's feathery chest, to which Gabby tightened her hug.

"Awwwwww!" The children and their mothers exclaimed. At that moment, Vapor Trail flew up to the group.

She sighed, "Oh thank goodness. You got her. Oh!" She finally noticed the royal family. "Hi kids."

"Vapor!" This time, the children just simply hugged the female Pegasus.

She chuckled, "It's nice to see you too!" Vapor looked up from the kids and noticed their parents. "And it's nice to see you as well, Your Highnesses."

"You don't need to call us that," Dignity said.

Screwball added, "Yeah. No need for titles among friends."

"Very well," Vapor said. "So, what can we do for you?"

"We wanteded to see you!" Cuff answered.

Gem clarified, "We were visiting Capri and the children wanted to surprise you with a visit."

Mothball said, "And we ran into Sky and Gabby on the way."

"Yeah they did," Gabby said. "Right as Dad and I were chasing away those cold turkeys from the garden."

"Man," Sky Stinger muttered, "those things are persistent. No wonder Silver Tongue always got mad with them." The royal adults and Gale look on in confusion as their kids and friends laughed.

Vapor cleared her throat. "Anyway, so don't I get dinner started? Sky, can you entertain our guests?"

"Sure thing, honey." Sky Stinger gives his wife a peck on the cheek and she took off. The stallion turned back to his guests. "Shall we head to the gazebo?" The royals nodded in agreement.

"Race you guys there!" Gabby exclaimed, then took off with Cloudy right beside her.

"Hey!" Turquoise called out as she flew after them. The rest of the children followed, much to their parents' amusement.

"Sky, I have a question for you," Cornona said, waving her hoof in the air like a school pony.

Sky answered, "Sure thing. What is it?"

"Did the first Pony Pan wear his famous hat?"

"Hmm, well let me che-"

"My turn for a question!" Ruff exclaimed. "Did the first Pony Pan and Windy live happily ever after?"

"Well, um-"

Turquoise asked, "How did Pony Pan and Captain Hoof first meet?"

Cuff followed up, "How did he meet the first Lost Colts?"

Soon, more questions were throw at Sky Stinger more than he handle. The children eagerly gathered around the dark blue Pegasus.

"Now hold on! Hold on!" Sky Stinger exclaimed. "I can answer all your questions. But first, I need the journals. Screwball, can you summon the journals from the Crow's Nest?"

"Sure thing," Screwball said with a salute. In a flash, hundreds of books appeared and fell on top of Sky Stinger. The royals and Gabby gasped in shock while Screwy muttered, "Oops."

A blue hoof arose from the books which replied, "I'm okay! Just give me- Ah ha!" Sky Stinger emerged out out of the pile with one journal in his other hoof. "I got it!"

Turquoise noticed something. "That book is huge!" True to her observations, that paticular journal was twice the size of the other books, as well as in newer condition.

Sky Stinger answered, "Capri helped make this. It's not just the first Pony Pan journal but also the journals of the first Captain Hoof, the first Windy and even a few of the first Lost Colts. All in chronological order." The royal oohed in amazement.

After Screwball teleported the rest of the books away, Sky Stinger opened up to the first page and asked, "Now, is everypony ready?"

"Yeah!" All of the children ran to their respective parents, and sat beside them eagerly.

"Let's begin!" Sky Stinger read the page, "This will be my first entry in this thing Windy calls a 'journal'. It's supposedly used to write down one's thoughts, emotions, and their daily lives into it. While this does indeed seem strange, I might as well give it a try, if I ever want to learn pony customs.

"But, if I am to begin with 'journaling' properly, I should start from the very beginning of my life."
