Uncle and Aunt

“So what should we do today?” Scootaloo asks

“I don’t know we could ask… do you two hear music?” Sweetie asks

“Probably Taylor again… are we sure she’s not related to Pinkie.” Apple Bloom asks

“Always look on the bright side of life!” Is sung shouted in the background followed by whistling.

“I think we should talk to her later…” Scootaloo says
The other two nod in agreement trying to get away from range of the harmony song.
========================
Meanwhile with Twilight Sparkle.

“She started another harmony song Spike.” Twilight says

“I wonder what they are singing about?” Spike says opening the window.

“So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it” is sung from outside the library. Spike closes the window as the song goes muted.
Twilight flinches hearing the lyrics. It doesn’t take long for a paper and quill to start going to work.

“She seems… why? Twilight why is she so happy singing about that?” Spike asks his voice full of concern.

“I don’t know Spike… She might need more help than I though. I think Princess Cadence might be able to help…” Twilight says her voice full of worry.

===============
Aboard the Friendship Express
“We are almost there!” Cadence says

“I still don’t understand why your acting like this dear.” Shining Armor says

“I just feel something. It’s like how I always know where you are… kinda like how I can see my love for you in a line which leads to you.” Cadence says

Shining just knows to be quiet since as hard as she tries to explain it. Her alicorn magic doesn’t make sense to him.

“Okay dear.” Shining says wrapping his hoof around Cadence.

Suddenly a letter appears from above landing in front of the couple.

“It’s from Twily did you tell her we are coming?” Shining asks

“No? I wonder what’s happening?” Cadence asks

The two read over the letter… then they read it over again before their eyes go comically wide. Shining and Cadence look at each other before reading the letter one last time.

“Uhhh.” Shining Armor says to break the silence.

“Yeah… our niece needs some help.” Cadence says quietly.

“As a former captain… I shall try to talk to her too. I’ve heard of stories about combat fatigue… she checks all the symptom boxes and then some.” Shining says

“I was more concerned about the fought discord to a stalemate in a spar. However what are the symptoms?” Cadence asks

“fatigue, tremors, confusion, nightmares and impaired sight and hearing… I don’t see impaired eyesight however she could be hiding that. Twily also mentions seeming disregard for her own life. So it could be survivors guilt aswell. To be honest she seems like a mess Cadence dear.” Shining says

“It’ll be fine. Love can fix her love conquers all.” Cadence says with as much emotion as she could muster.

================

Meanwhile in Canterlot it is a mess.

“What I am saying is get the Pegasus corps to at least increase their sweeps along our boarders! We were just attacked by another nation. I don’t want anyone to think we were weakened and thinks it’s a great time to invade.” Celestia announces to the EUP.

“Of course princess… however we are having issues with communications. Message crystals do not work over long distances, especially not those that the patrol would have to cover.” Says a Unicorn

“I wonder if the genius behind the new flying tactics could give us an idea.” A wonderbolt who read the original book says

After all Fighter Combat Tactics and Maneuvering listed some interesting technology that was never seen in Equestria before.

“I shall ask her at a later date. She’s offered help before and has given us ship designs.” Celestia says

“Wait those are all from the one girl that spy glass picked up!” Shouts admiral High Tide amazed

Suddenly the door bursts open.
“Sister it is good thou has told me to check Tartarus! Triek hath escaped!” Luna shouts panicked. Celestia looks horrified while the military heads group up for a second.

“We should run a search spell and get him while he’s still weak.”

“We should not attempt to get him! He will just steal our magic.”

“If we attack him while he’s week we should be able to seal him again.”

“I say we let the elements handle this! We have more to worry about with the Gryphon kingdom… in truth they have been attacking our merchant ships yet we can’t find definitive proof.” Admiral High Tide says

That statement silences the other branches.

“We still need to evacuate cloudsdale and other cloud cities! If Triek steals Pegasus magic they will all fall to their death!” The again went unsaid.

“I can’t believe the Griffin kingdom is doing that do they want a war!” Shouts the EUP general.

“Sister we must warn the twilight and her friends.” Celestia says

“What about the invitations we sent out to the leaders of Eropony?”

Celestia let’s out a whinny.
“We can’t cancel we also have a delegation from saddle Arabia coming.” Celestia says

====================
It’s been stalking it’s pretty for days. Others of its pack have been disappearing and it needs to kill its prey for its pack.

The Timberwolf growls as it pounces at the tall sickly horse.

“Even more magic and I didn’t have to hunt you down. I can’t wait till I am strong enough to steal the ponies magic again. They thought the magic of friendship could beat me. Hahaha! I’ll show them.”

The Timberwolf falls to the ground becoming dust.
====================
About 3 hours earlier in Ponyville.
“BBBFF!” Twilight shouts happily in the distance.
There is a dull thud.
“Did Twilight just shouts something spike?” Taylor asks confused.
“I think Shining Armor and Cadence are probably here.” Spike says

“Who?” Taylor asks

The door swings open suddenly to show three ponies standing there. One white Unicorn, one bright pink Alicorn, and Twilight.

“So this is our niece?” Shining Armor says

“Niece?” Taylor asks

Cadence looks at Taylor for a second before her smile disappears appears.

“Oh my aunt Celestia who hurt you filly?” Cadence asks tackle hugging Taylor without the tackling.

“What?” Taylor asks

“I can see all those broken connections to those you love… there must be thousands.” Cadence says crying a little hugging Taylor even more.

‘Thousands? I mean I don’t think I’ve ever loved thou- my crew she can see my connection to my crews.’ Taylor realizes

“I’m your niece?” Taylor asks

“Twily did you not tell her you adopted her?” Shining armor asks.

“Ah, well I could never find a good time.” Twilight says

“Mom? I don’t know… your not gonna replace her are you?” Taylor asks crying a little her childish body not listening to her.

Twilight looks at Taylor shocked and unsure of what to say.

“Ive got this.” Cadence says shooing off Twilight and Shining Armor.
