When Celestia and Luna's little fillies are filly-napped and the search for them has past, three fillies may have found the lost princesses, Timing may not make seance.

The New Princesses

The castle was in an uproar. The staff cantered down the hall attempting to reach them in time. A Guard stopped one of the maids Her dark brown mane was in a braid and her grey body had a duster cleaning a crown.
"Dusty what is going on?" He asked.
"Sentinel Silver! The Princess's, Its time." Dusty shouted out of breath.
"Which one?" Sentinel asked. He and Dusty galloped at high speed.
"Both of them." Dusty answered.
"at the same time?" He asked.
"Yes." Dusty Shouted.
"I'll go for Princess Twilight." They separated at the end of the hall, Dusty galloping up the stairs Sentinel trotting down.
Twilight looked out her window at the moon was slowly eclipsing the sun.
"Luna and Celestia didn't schedule this." Twilight thought out loud to herself.
"Oh my, Twilight do you think it's time?" Fluttershy asked . A knock on the door caught her attention. She went to answer it.
"Princess Twilight. The Princess Luna and Celestia, its time." Twilight flew out of the room. Sentinel galloping behind her. The rest galloped behind her.
"Have you heard anything from them?" Twilight asked.
"No I went for you as soon as I heard." Sentinel explained both of them came to a halt. Many staff waited outside the door. The turned and bowed when they saw Twilight.
"Where is Doctor Charlie-horse?" Twilight asked Dusty.
"He is already attending to Princess Luna." She explained. "And Nurse Vigor is already attending Princess Celestia." All the sudden A blinding light slowly grew from the window. Every pony looked away from the light.
"What is that?" Fluttershy asked.
"Two comets had just speed in front of the solar eclipse. I heard and read that magical surges can come and go during delivery." Twilight explained. The light slowly died down and the castle staff fell into a breath holding silence. A few minutes later a blue stallion with a white mane stepped outside. He was followed by a white mare with a crimson mane.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle please come in. Princess Celestia wishes to speak with you." He said. Twilight stepped inside. Luna and Celestia both held a small pink blanket in her front legs.
"Princess Celestia. Princess Luna." Twilight whispered in delight.
"Twilight come met my daughter, Princess Solar Eclipse." Celestia said softly. The filly she held was a dark orange with a fire red mane.
"Oh Celestia she's beautiful." Twilight smiled at the little filly.
"This is my daughter Princes Comet Tails." Luna said. Comet Tails was a soft grey her mane was silk white.
"Oh Luna she's so lovely." Twilight complemented.
"Twilight. Luna and I where wondering if you would be there godmother?" Celestia asked.
"Oh Celestia I would be honored." Twilight accepted.
"Thank you very much Twilight." Celestia thanked the purple alicorn. Tiny yawns came from the newborns. Slowly they opened there eyes. The door slowly slipped opened.
"Twilight? Pardon, but the doc says The princesses need some shut eye." Applejack whispered as she peaked her head in.
"Okay Applejack, I am on my way out. Sleep well." Twilight said smiling. The purple alicorn followed the orange earth pony back to the bedchamber.
"Boy howdy Twilight. I can't wait to see the fillies in the morning." Applejack stated. "Born at the same moment and at dawn too."
"I know luckily Luna and Celestia taught me how to raise and lower the Sun and moon." Twilight said.
"Are you sure you can handle it sugar cube?" she asked.
"Well Its only this once." Twilight answered a little nervous.
"No Twilight, I mean you never done something like this before." Applejack explained with a small chuckle.
"Well I have studied the spell for days." Twilight stated. "I should probably do that right now."
"Can we watch Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. She was followed by Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.
"We're here to cheer you on. Yay woo hoo." Fluttershy muttered.
"Thanks girls I could sure use the support." Twilight said.
"You can do it Twilight." Rarity encouraged her. Twilight's horn started to glow as she raised the sun and lowered the moon. Soon the sun was high in the sky and the moon was out of sight. Twilight wiped the sweat off her for head with her hoof.
"Wow Twilight, I knew you could do it, I mean at first I was nervous because you could have drooped both the sun and the moon, and then Equestria would have gone into complete darkness and then all of the crops would slowly die, and that would include Sweet Apple Acers, and if Sweet Apple Acers falls apart then AJ would lose her job and if she doesn't have a job…" Pinkie pie ranted.
"Woah there Pinkie Pie don't forget to breath." Rainbow Dash Joked. Pinkie stopped giggled.
"Oh Rainbow Dash your element of Harmony isn't laughter, that’s my element." The pink pony joked casing her friends to giggle.
"Okay you slow poke I'll race you to the room." Rainbow challenged the pink pony.
"Okie dokie lokie! Ready set go!" Pinkie said zooming off.
"Hey!" She shouted. As the light blue Pegasus raced off to catch pinkie pie.
"I better go after them and make sure they don’t make a mess up the castle." Applejack said.
"I am going back, The Princesses have asked me to make dresses for the little fillies, and I need finish the last few. Ta at." Rarity said trotting away. Fluttershy stayed behind with twilight.
"Oh I can't wait to meet the little angles." Fluttershy said happily.
"They are very adorable." Twilight agreed.
"What did Princess Celestia want to see you for?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh Celestia and Luna wanted to make me there godmother." Twilight answered as she walked back to the room with Fluttershy.
"Oh Twilight, That's a big job, are you sure you're up for the challenged?" She asked.
"I know it'll be a lot of work, but I am willing to do the work." Twilight stated. "I am so happy for Celestia and Luna. I can't wait for you to meet there little fillies."

A gift from the princess.

Twilight and her friends walked down the hall days later. Everyone was excited to meet the little filly's.

"I can't wait to show Princess Celestia and Luna some samples of the dresses I made." Rarity stated levitating a bin of small dresses.

"They are so lovely, Rarity." Twilight complemented.

"I do try." Rarity said modestly.

"Girls wait up!" Pinkie shouted zipping up towards them.

"Pinkie, where in Equestria have you been?" Applejack asked.

"Sorry girls I had a note to deliver." She said. The others shook it off. Pinkie crazy antics again. "So twilight how cute are the little filly's?" She asked walking backwards to face Twilight.

"Oh they are very cute." Twilight answered.

"But how cute? Are they the 'aw they're as cute as a button.' Kind of cute, Come to think of it button's are cute. Or are they the 'aw they are so cute I could eat them up' kind of cute. I never under stood that phrase why would you want to eat little fillies. If you eat them then you won't get to enjoy their cuteness anymore." Pinkie pie said barely stopping for a breath.

"Why don't you find out for yourself?" Twilight asked. Pinkie wasn't aware that they had walked into the nursery. Princess Celestia and Luna stood over the cradles watching their fillies, both looked tired. Pinkie looked down at the orange and grey fillies.

"Aww look at the little darlings." Fluttershy said smiling.

"I haven't seen a baby as precious as that every since the day Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake were born." Pinkie thought back. "There Super-cute-arific-sweet-tastastic-presa-doses!" Pinkie said. "Hey that would make a great song." Pinkie opened her mouth to sing, but Rainbow covered her mouth.

"Thank ever so grandly for inviting us. Your highnesses." Rainbow dash bowed.

"Since when did you say grandly?" Applejack asked.

"Just recently." Rainbow said calmly. "After all I need to expand my vocabulary if I want to leave a good impression on the new princesses." Rainbow explained.

"Now why in the hay would you need to impress the new born. You're already in the wonder bolt academe." Applejack asked.

"Well someone needs to teach these youngsters how to fly, and the princesses can't do that." Rainbow dash.

"Rainbow, that was a little rude." Twilight scolded.

"Actually Twilight, she's right." Celestia said with a smile. "Luna and I won't be able to teach our daughters some things, like how to fly, and how to use their magic properly.

"That's why we asked you to come here. We want some of you help teach our daughters." Luna confessed.

"Why we would be honored to help you out." Rarity said. The others smiled with appreciation.

"Twilight, I taught you all I know. I would be delighted if you taught our little girls, what you know." Twilight smiled. "Rainbow dash, I would like you teach them how to fly."

"Oh yeah!" Rainbow said.

"Rarity, Would you like to be their royal dress maker. From here on out." Celestia asked.

"Yes, yes!" Rarity said ecstatically. "Oh thank you. You won't be disappointed. I have a few samples here." Rarity showed Princess Luna and Celestia the dresses. Two guards showed up at the door.

"Your highnesses. A lord Shady is here to seek an audience with you." The white unicorn said as he bowed with the yellow Pegasus Twilight knew as Flash Sentry.

" Thank you let him in." Celestia said. Lord Shady was a dark grey with black appaloosa markings.

"I glad to see you in good health my princesses." He said with a bow. "May I see the angles." He asked. He walked over to the cradles. "They are adorable." He said.

"I'm sorry, that I had reschedule our meeting." Celestia apologized.

"It's no problem." He said

"May we continue our meeting outside?" She asked. Leading the way. Luna stayed and turned to Comet Tails, and Solar Eclipse who had woken up and started to cry.

"Don't worry Princess Luna I got solar eclipse." Twilight said levitating the tiny dark orange alicorn to her. She sat down in one of the rocking chairs as Luna sat in the other one. As they started to rock the little princess fell back to sleep.

"Wow twilight you're a natural." Fluttershy admired.

"It looks like Tia and I made a good choice, having you be there god mother." Luna stated with a smile.

"I can't imagine a any pony else to help you raise them." Applejack said tickling Solar Eclipse chin.

"I can't wait to teach them how to fly." Rainbow Dash said.

"Come on girls we should let the little ones sleep." Rarity suggested. The girls walked of the door. It was a while before Twilight and Luna stepped out of the room. Celestia returned shortly afterward.

"How is My little eclipse?" She asked.

"She's off to dream land." Luna stated with a smile. Celestia smiled and peeked inside. Both fillies were sleeping peacefully. She stepped back out and turned to Twilight and her friends. They walked into the library across from the nursery.

"I want to thank all of you for helping Luna and I." Celestia stated. "I would like to repay all of your work. With these Celesta opened up a envelope, and handed out six tickets. "I intended to give you these sooner."

"These are tickets to the Canterlot carnival tonight." Rarity said.

"I thought you could use some fun." Celestia said. "After all you have been taking on royal duties as Luna and I recovered."

"Awesome. The wonder bolts are Performing an air show tonight." Rainbow Dash said leaping into the air.

"There's a rope trick contest. I'm a shooting to win that." AJ said.

"Girls we should get ready, it starts in a few hours." Pinkie pie said bouncing up and down.

"Go on and Enjoy yourselves." Luna said smiling. Later They made their way down to the carnival.

"I hear the have a lot of fun rides." Pinkie said happily. "I can't wait to go on one of those spinning rides that make you so dizzy, that you won't walk strait for weeks." She said as she spun around.

"Hey Pinkie pie I bet I can get more dizzy than you." Rainbow challenged her. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow rush off to the ride. Fluttershy stayed with Twilight.

"Twilight are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm Just worried about the Princesses." She admitted.

"Don't be, twilight I'm sure they'll be fine." Fluttershy said gently hovering.

"I hope your right." Twilight said under her breath. Unaware of a threat lurking in the carnival.

Nagging Feelings

Twilight stood in line for a book signing. The author of her favorite spell book Eric von mane was autographing his newest books that were for sale. Normally Twilight would be smiling uncontrollably but she had this nagging felling something wasn't right.

"Next pony." Eric called. Twilight walked up and paid for her new book then walked over to the blue colt with a purple mane. "Princess Twilight what an honor." He said with a bow revealing his cutie mark, A pen overlapping a book.

"Actually the honor is mine." Twilight said. "I loved the teleporting spell in your third book. I used it all the time."

"Well I'm glad to hear it, I think your gonna like this new book. It contains a complicated spell to temporarily change your cutie mark." Eric explained quietly as he signed her book.

"I can't wait to try it out." Twilight said. Levitating her book and opening it.

"Have a nice day." He called as she left.

"Oh Twilight Darling! Over here!" Rarity called from a stage. Fluttershy waved to grab Twilights attention. Twilight trotted over to meet the Pegasus and unicorn. "Apple Jack is about to go on." Rarity explained. "I heard she going to show us a new trick she's been working on."

"I can't wait to see it." Twilight said putting her book away in her saddle bag.

"I hope Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie don't miss Apple Jack's performance." Fluttershy stated. An half hour after the show started Pinkie pie and Rainbow Dash galloped up to their friends.

"Sorry we're late, did we miss anything?" Rainbow asked.

"No your just in time." Twilight said as the curtain opened revealing Apple Jack. She started spinning the lasso rapidly. Standing up on her back legs she guided the rope to her waist like a hula hope. The crowd cheered as Apple Jack hoped to her front legs and balanced herself. Slowly she raised one hoof and grabbed the rope to guide it up and down. She sent the lasso flying in the air. While the rope was high Apple Jack did a back hoof spring pack onto all four legs. The lasso fell right into AJ's hoof. She winked to her friends as the crowd cheered.

"Way to go Apple Jack! Rainbow Dash cheered. After the trick show was over the six friends sat at a picnic table. With the snacks they bought all the concession stands.

"That was an amazing trick Apple Jack, you totally earned that first place medal." Rainbow Dash complemented.

"Ah shucks. I never would have even known I could do something like that, if twilight hadn't given me that book on complicated rope tricks for my birthday last year." Apple Jack stated. Twilight smiled.

"The Wonder Bolts perform in fifteen minutes. Me and Pinkie Pie are going to watch from the top of the ferries wheal. That way we get a great view." Rainbow explained.

"That sounds amazing Rainbow but I see one problem with your plan." Twilight noted.

"Really what?" Pinkie asked scuffing down some hay fries.

"How are we all going to fit in one cart?" Twilight asked jokingly. They all laughed.

"Well, We should be on our way." Apple Jack said standing up. Each pony teamed up. Twilight with Fluttershy, Rarity with Applejack, and Pinkie Pie with Rainbow Dash. The ferries wheal stopped at the top. Soon an announcer come over the intercom.

"Ladies and gentle colts, I am proud to introduce to you, for your entertainment tonight The Wonder Colts!" The crowd cheered as five streaks of light flew high in the air.

"Wow! I cannot believe it they have glow in the dark uniforms!" Rainbow Dash admired. "That's so awesome!" The wonder colts made several amazing shapes in the sky. The show was finished by several fireworks . Fans cheered all over the fairgrounds, but soon every pony was tired and heading home.

"I am so tired. I won't be surprise if I fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow." Rarity said with a yawn. Guards galloped pass the six pony friends. Twilight immediately followed. She caught up to one of the guards.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"A pony has been spotted climbing into a castle window." The guard explained.

"Which window?" Twilight asked.

"Fourth story in the bedroom halls." The guard shouted.

"That's where the fillies are! Step on it boys we have to stop who ever this intruder is!" Twilight order. After taking several sharp turns, and dodging several staff members, they reached the bedroom hallway. Princess Luna was knocked out by the nursery. "Princess Luna." Twilight shouted. Luna slowly opened her eyes.

"Celestia chased after them, the fillies are safe go help her please." Luna said weekly. Twilight ran down the hallway and found Celestia attempting to stand up.

"Princess Celestia." Twilight said helping her former teacher up. "Are you okay your highness?"

"They got away." Celestia stated. "Are the fillies alright?" She asked.

"Yes Luna said they are fine." Twilight said walking back with the white alicorn. Twilight noticed her limping. As they got closer they saw Luna holding both fillies.

"What happened here?" Rarity asked as she came up.

"Princess Luna and I had just put our young ones to bed. We retreated to the library to work on some last minute things." Celestia started to retell the story. "We we heard the sound of breaking glass. We galloped to the room and saw a cloaked pony looking over our fillies. He or she spotted us, and attacked Luna, then bolted I tried to catch the intruder, but he or she was too fast and attacked me and got away."

"I want the royal guard to be doubled. Whoever this pony was he will return." Luna ordered. "I also want every guard to be on his top watch." The guards bowed and trotted off.

"Celestia why would some pony be after your innocent little fillies?" Fluttershy asked.

"I don't know, who or why, but I am not going to let anything harm My daughter and niece." Celestia said looking out the window holding Eclipse.

Back Home to Ponyville

The next morning the six ponies packed up ready to head home.

"I can't wait to get home and tell the family all about the new princesses." AJ smiled.

"I still wonder who would want to harm such little angles." Fluttershy stated folding up some clothing.

"I hope he doesn't come back because if he does. He'll have to get through a pony named Rainbow Dash." Rainbow put up her front hooves and Jabbed the air a few times.

"Rainbow I don't think he or she with try anything soon, and besides. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have double the guards." Twilight said lowering Dashes hooves.

"Twilight is right darling." Rarity added. "The royal guard are very well trained." A knock on the door drew their attention. Twilight answered it. Princess Luna and Celestia walked in gently pushing the stroller. Five of the six friends bowed.

"Princesses what are you doing here?" AJ asked nervously.

"We wanted to thank you all once again for coming to help us." Luna said stepping in.

"And we also wanted to let you all know that we don't blame you for the events that had accord last night." Celestia added.

"We understand, bad stuff happens sometime." Pinkie Pie said she looked down at the fillies who were awake. "Isn't that right Eclipse and Comet Tales." Pinkie asked tickling their chins. The babies smiled and grabbed onto pinkies hoof. Celestia and Luna smiled too.

"You all are welcomed to stay longer if you like." Luna offered.

"We would love to stay longer, but we need to get back to Ponyville." Rainbow Dash stated sadly.

"Yeah Rainbow is right. I need to help Big Mac with the farm." Apple Jack stated.

"Yes and Mr. and Mrs. Cake will need my help back at home with baking and helping with the twins. Please don't get jealous, you pal Pinkie winkie will be back to visit." Luna and Celestia smiled at Pinkies attempt to cheer them up.

"Don't worry Princesses. I'll zip over if you ever need help." Twilight promised.

"I know you will Twilight." Celestia stated. "Please have a safe trip home."

Latter on the train that was Ponyville bond. The six pony looked out towards the castle as it slowly got smaller.

"I do hope the princesses will be okay. I mean it's there first time being mothers." Fluttershy noted.

"Don't worry Fluttershy. I'm positive the princesses can handle it." Pinkie Pie noted.

"I know Celestia and Luna can handle them. If they can look after all of Equestria, they can watch two little fillies." Twilight added.

"Boy, I can't wait to get back in the fields. I missed the fresh smell of apples." AJ said.

"You've been home sick haven't you Apple Jack." Rainbow asked walking next to her friend and putting a camphorating wing over her back.

"Well yes. I get home sick pretty easily." She confessed. "Being away for a month, I keep dreaming about sweet apple archers."

"Aw Its okay Apple Jack I bet Granny Smith, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom are waiting for you at the train station." Pinkie Pie was right the Apple Family was waiting to great Apple Jack. Sweetie Belle was there and So was Scootaloo.

"Rainbow Dash guess what! I've been working on a new trick and I really want you to see it." Scootaloo said running up to Rainbow Dash.

"I can't wait to see it kid, I'm sure it will be awesome." Rainbow Dash said walking off with the orange filly with the pink mane.

"Rarity, you won't believe what I did! I was walking down the street when I ran into two Ponies who were looking for you so they could buy some clothing so I took them to your store and they bought five dresses." Sweetie Belle said helping Her older sister with her bags.

"Oh Sweetie Belle thank you. I guess you could help me in the shop until you get your cutie mark." Rarity said happily. "After all I am going to be busier than usual."

"Really!" Sweetie said excitedly, Rarity nodded. "Oh thank you Rarity." They two walked off.

"I better get home to Angel Bunny. I'll see you later Twilight." Flutter shy walked off as well.

"And I better get home to Spike." Twilight said to Apple Jack who was being hugged by Apple Bloom.

"See ya latter Twilight." AJ called.

"Don't ever leave for that long again big sis. I missed you too much." Apple Bloom said with a tear in her eye.

"Eeyup." Big Mac agreed. Pulling her into a hug.

"Aw shucks sugar cube no need to get teary eyed, I'm back now." AJ said comforting her little sister.

"I know but I just missed ya." Apple Bloom said.

"Tell ya what. How about I give you a pony back ride all the way home. Will that help." AJ suggested.

"I suppose it will." Apple Bloom hopped onto her sisters back. "Giddy up AJ."

"You best be ready for a ride." Apple Jack said playfully rearing up. "Yeehaw!" She galloped as her sister laughed. Big Mac carried the bag following his little sisters.

Twilight entered the library she stayed at.

"Spike I'm back!" She called. Spike ran down the stairs and tackled Twilight with a hug.

"I missed you Twilight." The purple dragon said.

"I missed you too spike." She said. Hugging him closely.

"So how was Canterlot? How are the fillies? What are their names?" Spike asked helping carry her luggage.

"Canterlot was great, The fillies are super cute, and they are named Eclipse and Comet Tails." Twilight answered.

"Oh yeah all of Equestria saw that amazing display." Spike acknowledge.

"Oh I forgot to tell you, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna made me their God Mother." Twilight stated.

"Wow Twilight. That's great. Does this mean I'll get to meet them?" Spike asked.

"Spike of coarse you'll get to meet them. I never said you weren't." Twilight said and spike smiled happily.

A month flew by as any normal moth could. Twilight received pictures of her god daughters. The seamed to get cuter every single day, but one night at the Castle in Canterlot. Trouble struck again.

The Search

The castle was quiet Luna and Celestia had tucked in Eclipse and Comet Tails into bed.

"They are so precious when they sleep. Don't you agree Tia?" Luna asked.

"Yes. I know they will grow up into wonderful Princesses." Celestia said smiling. They walked quietly out of the room. Closing the door gently. Both of the royal sisters climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly.

The sound of breaking glass awoke Luna.

"The Babies!" Luna cried running out of the room. She burst into the room finding both cradles hand been knocked over. She ran up the them and looked inside but both off the young ones have been taken. "Celestia!" she called running to her room. Celestia woke up and saw the panicked look on her sisters face.

"What is it Luna?" She asked.

"Comet Tails and Eclipse are gone." Luna shouted. Celestia shot up and ran to the room to see if luna was correct.

"Guards sound the alarm! No one enters or leaves this castle. All the rooms were searched, and the yards were inspected but there was not a single trace of the little princesses. The guards told the distressed mothers the bad news.

"No they must be somewhere!" Luna said still crying.

"We will find them. Send word out through Equestria. Our loyal subjects will help." Celestia said trying to keep herself from crying. The guards bowed and galloped off. Celestia turn to her sister who was holding on of Comet Tails stuffed animals. Her sister hugged her and broke down. They both hoped that their daughters were okay.

In Ponyville, Twilight was awoken by a knock on her door.

"Now who in the name of Celestia could that be?" She asked as she slowly climbed down stairs. She opened the door to find two members of the royal guard. They bowed.

"Princess Twilight. We are here to deliver some distressing news." One of them said.

"Yes what is it what's happened?" She asked curious.

"The young princesses have been kidnapped." Twilight gasped.

"Thank you for informing me of this, I'll start a search here in Ponyville." She galloped out and headed for Rarity's. She knocked on the door. She saw the light to her window turned on. A few moments later Rarity was standing in front of her. Her purple main was a mess. "Rarity the baby princesses have been kid napped." Twilight explained. That seemed to wake Rarity up instantly her eye shot wide opened.

"What? oh dear. I'll come help." Rarity said levitating a robe on herself.

"I'll help too." Sweetie bell said.

"Oh no you're not Sweetie I need you to stay here. We don't need to lose another child." Rarity said looking down at her sister.

"Okay Fine." Sweetie said disappointed. Rarity galloped to Pinkie Pie with Twilight. Pinkie Pie was still awake when they got there. She immediately ran out with them.

"I'll get Rainbow Dash, and Meet you at Apple Jacks." Pinkie Pie said dashing off.

"Rarity go get FlutterShy, I'll meet you there." Twilight said. Rarity didn't argue and ran off towards Fluttershy's cottage. Around half an hour later they all were in the fields.

"We better tell Mayor Mare in the morning. If we don't find them tonight." Apple Jack suggested.

"Oh I just don't understand who would want to take those little fillies." Fluttershy said as they walked off in search.

"I don't know either but who ever took them must have thought the princesses couldn't do a good Job." Twilight said worried.

"Just wait till I find out who did this. I'll teach them a hard lesson." Rainbow Dash threatened flying just above her friends.

"Rainbow Dash! Always so violent. However in this case I suppose that will be acceptable." Rarity agreed.

"I just hope the young princesses are okay." Pinkie Pie said sadly.

"I can't imagine how the Princesses are taken it, to have their daughters taken in the middle of the night." Apple Jack spoke out. "That kind of worrying could break a pony into pieces."

"What if we never find them?" Rainbow inquired.

"We must stay positive." Twilight said. "We will find them" They searched through the night and into the morning soon they returned to Ponyville to find the town searching.

"Did you find anything?" Mayor Mare asked.

"We looked all over Sweet Apple Acers, there was no sign of them." Rainbow said landing tiredly on a cloud.

"I checked by around my cottage and in the animals homes too, but couldn't find anything." Fluttershy told her.

"Has Any other town found them?" Twilight asked.

"All of Equestria has been searching, but so far no pony has found them." Spike explained. "Even Shining Armor and Princess Cadence have all of the Crystal Ponies looking for them as well."

"Something has to turn up eventually." Pinkie Pie said slightly cheerful. "The Guards have been order to search every house."

"I should have stayed in Canterlot. I'm a failure as a god mother." Twilight said sadly.

"Oh sugar cube this isn't your fault." Apple Jack comported Twilight.

"I know but I could have done something." Twilight said disappointed in herself.

"Listen Twilight. I am sure the fillies will show up." Rainbow Dash informed her. "All of Equestria is looking for the little daughter's of Princess Luna And Princess Celestia.

"Yeah, I'm positive those fillies will be found any minute." Pinkie Pie stated Optimistically. But the minutes turned into hours. Hours dragged into Days. Days slowly became weeks. Weeks became months. Months develop into a year, and Equestria still couldn't find a hint as to where there princesses could be. Eventually Celestia had to call off the search. She knew her subjects were exhausted, and she could let her subjects continue.

Many ponies kept a look out for the little fillies but despite that, The little Princesses were nowhere to be found. Twilight felt terrible. She was one of the few who still looked for them, but soon she gave up too. In honor of their children every year on the day of their birth Luna and Celestia made an eclipse and had two comets fly by eachother. Hoping they would be found.

The Found Princessses

The Ponies of Equestria always avoided the Everfree forest. Except for a few who were brave enough to tread its dangerous paths. Even with that no one went far enough to find a small tower surrounded by a sharp drop. The drop was filled with several sharp spikes. There was no pleasure of a bridge to get to the other side. Yet inside, at the highest point a small, soft grey alicorn with a pure white mane that fell down to the floor. She looked out the small window. She knew tonight was the night.

She saw two figures approaching the tower. She knew who they were. She walked to the corner and curled up. She didn't like it when he came. Every month or so a blue pony with a purple mane would come and cut off her main and her tail and some feathers from her wings . She would be chained so she wouldn't be able to run away. She heard the door open bellow her. Then the soft clip clops of footsteps. Her door to her room opened.

"Hello dear." A dark grey unicorn with appaloosa markings walked in.

"Hello Mr. Shady." She muttered.

"You know the drill Comet Tails." Comet Tails hoped down and allowed the procedure to continue. She hated having her mane cut. It was one of the only things that kept her warm. She started to cry as her mane was cut off and a few feathers where plucked. "There you go now pay up." Mr. Shady ordered the other pony. Comet tail was un chained. He left a bucket of apples for the week. It was amazing that she hadn't starved to death.

"Two hundred bits. Thank you. See you in a month kid." They both walked out. Comet tails immediately climbed onto her sac of hey, trying. She brushed away a few of the hay there was a small just big enough for her to fit through. She had been using he horn to scrap out cement since was five. She planned to run away that night. Hopefully practicing flying around her room was enough practice to get her over the spikes. She was going to find out why every year on the same day two comets would fly by each other. She asked Shady once, but was beaten for it. Never asked again but she never stop wondering.

The sun was about to be lowered Comet tails. She wrapped the small blanket around her self like a cape. She stood ready to jump. She opened her wings and Jumped, she closed her eyes and flapped her wings. She couldn't feel herself falling so she opened one eye and saw she had done it. She was flying! She dove for the next clearing of land felling a bit tired. She landed roughly on her belly. She was free. She galloped off never looking back.

She stopped at a river. The sky was clear. She would have a perfect view. She sat down at the tree. She heard a small rustle from the bushes. She jumped up ready to run.

"Who's there?!" She asked. An orange unicorn filly walked up. Her red and yellow main. She was wearing rags that covered her back, and was covered in dirt.

"I sorry, I thought this place would be empty tonight." She said. She was no older then what Comet Tails.

"Oh I'll leave if you want." Comet Tails offered.

"No, I actually don't want to be alone tonight, have you come to watch the Eclipse?" She asked.

"Well… yeah. I also came to see the comets too." She smiled. "My name is Comet Tails. What's yours?"

"Eclipse." The orange unicorn smiled. Comet Tails walked up next to eclipse and sat down next to her.

"Do you have a place to stay?" Comet asked.

"No. I ran away. I'm never going back." Eclipse said grumpily.

"Me too. Mr. Shady won't hurt me again" Comet said already happy to meet some new pony.

"Wait you know Mr. Shady too?" Eclipse asked.

"Yeah, He kept me in a tower, sawing I was imprisoned for being an alicorn." She said.

"Me too. That's why I ran away. Hey let's run away together we can find a new family." Eclipse stated.

"I would like that." Comet smiled.

"I can't believe I meet another alicorn." Eclipse said felling happiness for the first time.

"Me too." Comet agreed. Together they watched as the comets crossed the eclipse. Once the show was over the two fillies looked at each other. Eclipse eyes widened. "What's wrong Eclipse?"

"Your mane it grew rapidly!" She said amazed. Comet Tails saw her mane was long again. "That's amazing. Comet thought it was too, so she smiled and walked off with her new friend. Soon they found a dirt road, with a sight that pointed to Ponyville.

"Welcome to Ponyville." She read out loud. Comet was taught how to read but not how to write by Mr. shadow.

"Maybe we can find a new home here." Eclipse said hopefully. The reared up excitedly and walked down the road. After awhile both girls were tired.

"We should rest here for a bit." Comet suggested after the walked for a while. They both snuggled under a bench. A ringing bell woke them up. Several other little fillies ran by wearing saddle bags.

"Come on Sweetie Bell and Apple bloom. We're going to be late!" A orange Pegasus shouted.

"We're coming Scootaloo. Me and Sweetie aren't as fast as you." Apple bloom called.

"Let's ask if the know if there is a place we could stay." Comet suggested.

"Okay lets use different name just in case okay." Eclipse said warily. Comet nodded. Sweetie tripped over a rock and landed face to face with Eclipse and Comet tails she screamed and jumped back. The two dirty fillies did two.

"Whoa Just who are you two?" Scootaloo asked.

"I'm golden blaze." Eclipse lied.

"And I'm Silver mist." Comet lied too.

"Hi, I'm Apple Bloom, that's Scootaloo and the unicorn you scared is Sweetie Bell." Apple Bloom greeted. The three fillies didn't know it, but they had found the lost princesses of Equestria.

A New Home

The bell rang for school and the fillies walked home.

"So do you and golden blaze have a place to stay?" Scootaloo asked walking with them.

"Well no." Comet tails said.

"Our parents died in a fire." Eclipse noted.

"Oh I'm so sorry." Sweetie said sadly.

"Hey! You can stay with us on sweet apple acres. We have plenty of room." Apple Bloom suggested. Eclipse and Comet tails smiled.

"That would be great. Thank you." Comet tails said.

"Do you two have your cutie marks?" Scootaloo asked As they walked off to the apple orchard.

"No." Eclipse said keeping up.

"That's fantastic you can join our club. The cutie mark crusaders." Sweetie bell said as she walked next to eclipse.

"What's that?" Comet Tails asked.

"It's a club dedicated to help others get there cutie marks." Scootaloo explained.

"That would be cool!" Eclipse smiled. "When can we join?"

"You can join now if you want." Apple Bloom offered.

"If we want to? Of course we do." Comet tails said happily.

"That's great!" Sweetie Belle shouted. "The more the merrier!" She said. As they walked they talked about what kind of cutie marks they would like and how they would look. Soon they reached Sweet Apple Acers.

"I can't wait for you to meet Apple Jack, and Big Mac." Apple Bloom said eagerly as the small group walked up to the barn where two pony were stacking hay.

"I home from school!" Apple Bloom called. AJ turned to see her sister running up to her.

"Hello Apple Bloom. Who are your new friends?" She asked.

"This is Golden blaze and Silver mist." Sweetie bell introduced bouncing around. "They're going to join the cutie mark crusaders."

"Apple Jack can they live with us?" Apple bloom asked.

"I'm sure that their parents would miss them sugar cube." AJ said reasonably.

"Actually. We don't have parents." Comet tails said. "Not anymore." Apple Jack looked at the sad little fillies.

"Your orphans?" AJ asked sadly.

"Yeah our parents died in a fire a month ago." Eclipse said sticking to her story.

"And you have been living on your own this whole time?" AJ asked. The fillies nodded.

"Can they stay Apple Jack?" Apple Bloom asked giving her sister the puppy dog eyes.

"Well… I guess if it's okay with Granny Smith it's okay with me. I'll ask her at dinner. In the mean time you fillies go and play."

"Let's show them the tree house." Scootaloo said. They ran off leaving Applejack back home to think.

"Um AJ." The big red colt said walking up to her.

"What if Granny smith says no?" He asked.

"Mac you know she won't mind, even if she does. We just can't through them out onto the streets." AJ reasoned with him. "To think they have gone this long without any parents. A whole month."

"They seem strong considering what happened." Big Mac said.

"I know I hand you and Granny when our parents past. They only have eachother." She said. "Imagine how much pain there going through." She said.

"I know AJ." He said.

"Come on we better start cooking dinner." Apple Jack noted changing the subject. Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell went home as they were called to dinner.

"I can't wait to eat! Big Mac is making grilled celery." Apple Bloom said sitting at the table.

"Why who are these two young wiper snappers?" A old green mare asked walking up to the picnic table.

"This is Silver Mist and Golden Blaze Granny Smith!" Apple Bloom Said smiling.

"Well howdy doo there." She said shaking their hoofs. Comet tails and Eclipse giggled.

"Soups on every pony!" AJ called as she walked to the table.

"Soup? I thought we were having grilled celery." Comet tails said. Apple Bloom giggled along with AJ, Big Mac and Granny Smith..

"No sugar cube… That's just an expression. It means dinner is ready." AJ explained.

"Oh. Then why not say dinner is ready?" She asked Jokingly. Every One laughed.

"That was delicious!" Eclipse exclaimed.

"So where do you live? I would be as happy as pie to meet your folks." Granny Smith asked.

"Um Granny, they don't have parents." Apple Bloom said.

"Oh my. I'm awful sorry." Granny apologized. "Me and my big mouth. I probably upset y'all now."

"That okay you didn't know." Comet tails said.

"Actually Granny, We were thinking that they could live with us." AJ stated.

"Well I don't know. We never had Unicorns in the family before." Granny sat and thought for a bit. "Well sure, I don't see any reason for these two little cute gals not to stay, just as long as the help with the chores." She smiled.

"We will! We promise." Eclipse said eager to help. Comet tails nodded her head.

"Well it looks like we got our self's some more sisters Apple Bloom." AJ said smiling.

"Oh thank you! Thank you!" Comet tails smiled hugging Applejack.

"Alright y'all best be getting cleaned up. I'll get a bath ready." Granny Said slowly making her way to the house. Comet tails and Eclipse followed her up. The bathtub filled up slowly. Granny Smith poured in some bubble bath solution. "Alright I let you two bathe, and I'll get two beds set up for ya."

"Thank you Granny Smith." They said in unison. Both of them climbed into the tub.

"I like it here." Comet Tails smiled.

"Yeah me too, but what if they find out we are alicorns?" Eclipse stated worried.

"We'll hide our wings." Comet tails said. "They only think we are unicorns."

"That's a great idea." She agreed cleaning her mane. Once they were cleaned up they quickly put on shirts that hide their wings. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Comet called. The door open allowing AJ to enter.

"Alright y'all we have a big day tomorrow, so you best be getting some shut eye." Both fillies hopped onto the cots Granny had provided.

"Thank you so much for letting us stay." Eclipse said as she was tucked in by the orange pony. "You must be one of the nicest ponies ever."

"Aw shucks." Apple Jack smiled. She looked back as she turned out the light letting her new sisters sleep.

School

Granny Smith woke Comet and Eclipse up early to get ready for school.

"Alright, you two. I have breakfast ready for y'all. So come down when you're ready." She said leaving the room. Comet and eclipse placed on there clothes that hid their wings. Then the trotted down stairs and meet with Apple Bloom and Apple Jack.

"Good morning Silver and Gold." Apple Bloom greeted as they stepped into the kitchen. "Cool nick names huh?" She smiled proudly.

"I like it." Eclipse complemented. Comet nodded in agreement.

"Apple Jack will be taking us to school today to introduce you to Cheerilee, our teacher." Apple bloom explained.

"Yep. So you better hurry and eat. You don't want to be late for your first day." AJ said taking a bite of apple pancakes. Once their bellies were full they headed down the road to school.

"What is school like?" Comet tails asked.

"It's so much fun. Just wait till you get there." Apple Bloom bounced around.

"Settle down Apple Bloom." AJ said chuckling. "We are already here." Cheerilee was standing outside waiting for her students. "Howdy, Cheerilee."

"Hello, oh I see we have some new faces." The pink mare smiled. "What are your names?"

"I'm Silver Mist." Comet said.

"and I'm Golden Blaze." Eclipse smiled.

"It's very nice to meet you go on in." She smile as they entered. She stayed outside to talk with Apple Jack. "Where did they come from I never seen them before."

"Apple Bloom came home with them yesterday. They were orphans. So we took them in." Apple Jack explained.

"That's very nice of you Apple Jack." Cheerilee said.

"Well what could we do?" Cheerilee nodded at the orange pony's note. "I better head back to the farm." AJ trotted away. Cheerilee walked back in the building.

"Good morning children we have two ne fillies joining us today." Cheerilee smiled. "This Is Silver Mist and Golden Blaze." The class said hello in unison. "Now let's do our best to welcome them to the school."

"Silver come sit next to me." Sweetie Belle called.

"You can sit over here Golden Blaze." Scootaloo called. Both of the new fillies took their places, and immediately gave Cheerilee their full attention. The lesson went by faster then what Comet Tails and Eclipse expected. Soon they went out for recess. The five fillies tossed the ball around.

"I knew Granny Smith would take you guys in." Scootaloo smiled tossing it to Apple bloom.

"Hey do you want to come over today and meet Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked receiving the ball from her yellow friend bouncing it to Comet.

"Really. Can we?" Comet Tails asked catching it.

"Sure! Rarity would love to meet you, and measure you for dresses." The unicorn smirked.

"Just wait until you meet Rainbow Dash she is so awesome." Scootaloo said standing up boldly.

"She's more awesome then you blank flanks will ever be." A bratty voice sneered, followed by chuckles from a grey filly.

"What do you want diamond tiara?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I Just want to welcome the new blank flanks. Right Silver Spoon?" Diamond tiara smirked. "So I must say I feel so sorry for you two?"

"Why?" Eclipse asked.

"Well your staying on the dusty old farm, with the leader of the blank flank three." Silver Spoon stated.

"It's called the cutie mark crusaders." Scootaloo corrected her.

"Whatever. Trust me Silver and Gold, if you ever what to get your cutie marks you'll ditch them as so as possible." Diamond Tiara smirked.

"I don't care if I don't get my cutie mark, I would rather have friends then a mark on my flank." Eclipse said defending her friends.

"Wow, Do you mean that?" Apple Bloom asked uncertainly.

"Of course." Comet smiled.

"Well you have made a terrible mistake. Good luck finding you cutie marks. Blank flanks!" Diamond Tiara smirked as she walked off.

"So when do we get our CMC uniforms?" Comet Tails asked.

After school the fillies walk to Rarity's.

"Rarity! I want you to meet my new friends!" Sweetie called as they entered. The white unicorn walked down the steps levitating a few dresses.

"Welcome home Sweetie Belle, and welcome to Ponyville Golden Blaze and Silver Mist." She smiled.

"You know their names?" Sweetie inquired.

"Why, yes. Apple Jack told me about them earlier today." Rarity beamed.

"Wow your dresses are beautiful." Comet complimented seeing the many racks of them.

"Why, thank you. They are good aren't they?" She said.

"Good. They are the best I ever seen! You must be the best dress maker in Equestria!" Eclipse praised.

"Oh stop, you are making me blush." Rarity gleamed her cheeks turning pink.

"Rarity can you help me take measurements so we can make their cutie mark crusader uniforms?" Sweetie asked.

"Well I guess I could help with that. Follow me up stair please." She said fluffing her violet hair. The three fillies followed the unicorn up stairs. Comet tails and Eclipse stood still as Rarity measured them.

"I love your glasses." Comet complimented. "They're very nice."

"Thank you darling. A pony has to look her best." Rarity was enjoying all the complements.

"I am so happy that you guys are joining this will be so much fun." Sweetie said standing by a small rack of multiple tiny clothing that stood in the corner.

"What are those for?" Eclipse quizzed Rarity as she measured her neck line.

"Oh those were dresses that I made for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's Daughters." Rarity said.

"What are they doing here?" Comet pondered.

"Well they we kidnapped awhile ago. They are still nowhere to be found." Rarity noted sadly.

"Oh that's terrible." Eclipse muttered. "The princesses must be very sad."

"Oh don't you two hang your self's over it." Rarity said seeing the sad expressions. "The Princesses still hope for their safe return. I am done with the measurements." She told her little sister, handing her the clip board. Sweetie stuffed it in her saddle bag.

"Thank you Rarity. We should head off to the club house. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are waiting." The three ran off leaving Rarity behind with her thought. Those new fillies looked familiar, but she couldn't place a hoof on it. That thought had to wait, costumers were waiting.

True Colors

The cutie mark crusaders walked with their two soon to be new members to the club house Apple Bloom's big sister Apple Jack had generously gave to them.

"I am so excited!" Sweetie shouted.

"Yeah, just think what the five of us can come up with!" Scootaloo said happily hovering. Soon the fillies reached the tree house. Apple bloom and the rest of her friends finished up the uniforms and handed them to the newest members.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders Forever! YAY!" The cheered in unison.

"What should we do next?" Eclipse asked.

"Well Golden Blaze. We should go to sugar cube corner. Pinkie Pie will be disappointed if she doesn't though you two a welcome to Ponyville Party." Scootaloo Joked.

"Hey maybe we can get our cutie marks in cake eating?" Comet tails smiled.

"Why are we waiting here for then? We got cake to eat!" Apple Bloom smiled. Together the friends hoped in the small red wagon, as the Scootaloo took off on her scooter pulling her friends along.

The five small ponies walked in the small bakery. A pink pony was carrying a small plate of muffins.

"Hello pinkie!" Sweetie greeted! "We would like five slices of cake please." She said dropping the small bits to pay.

"Okie Dokie lokie! Just let me place these muffins in a bag for Ditzy Doo and I'll be…" The pink pony let out a gasp when she saw the two new fillies, but before they could ask, Pinkie zoomed out of the building.

"What was that all about?" Sweetie asked. The others shrugged Pinkie will be Pinkie. Pinkie stopped outside of twilights door. She knocked madly.

"Twilight!" Pinkie pie called. Finally she was answered by a purple alicorn.

"Hello Pinkie." She warmly greeted her friend.

"Twilight you need to come to sugar cube corner with me right now!" Pinkie rambled.

"Why is something wrong?" Twilight asked.

"We're wasting time! Come on!" Pinkie snapped.

"Okay just to sugar cube corner, but then I have to get back and study." Twilight smiled knowing Pinkie wouldn't let up. Together they rushed to Sugar cube corner, but found it empty.

"Hey where are they?" Pinkie asked.

"Where are who?" Twilight asked.

"There were two fillies here and… Mr. Cake did you see where the cutie mark crusaders went?" Pinkie asked.

"Well yes they had left five minutes ago." The yellow colt said walking back into the kitchen.

"Well I have to get back home. You can show me them later okay." Twilight smiled taking her exit.

Mean while back at the tree house the fillies sat down eating there cake.

"Hey do you want to race?" Scootaloo asked. "Maybe I'll be like Rainbow Dash and get a cutie mark in racing."

"That sounds like a lot of fun." Eclipse smiled lining up next to Scootaloo. "First one around that tree and back wins."

"I'll race you and win." Comet Tails Smirked.

"Ha, fat chance Silver Mist!" Scootaloo betted. Then they took off running. Scootaloo in the lead followed by Eclipse who was neck and neck with Comet Tails. They rounded the tree and started back, but Eclipse and Comet Tails were too close together. Soon the pair had went tumbling over one another catching onto Scootaloo. Soon the dust they had created had faded. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell let out a gasp.

"You have wings?" Apple Bloom asked.

"What are you talking about I always had wings?" Scootaloo asked confused.

"Not you Scoots… Them." Sweetie pointed out. Scootaloo saw who see meant. Eclipse's and Comet Tails wings have been exposed.

"You two are alicorns?" Scootaloo asked. The two now exposed fillies looked at one another.

"Please don't tell anyone! Please, they will have us locked away again!" Eclipse shouted.

"Why would any Pony lock you two up?" Sweetie asked.

"Because we are alicorns." Comet tails answered tears forming.

"That's crazy! Princess Celestia is an Alicorn, and so is her sister." Scootaloo mentioned.

"Please don't tell. Please." Eclipse begged hiding her wings.

"Don't worry we won't. It's our secret." Apple Bloom promised.

"Thank you." Comet Tails said hiding her wings with a smile.

They stayed and played for a little longer, but soon Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo headed home.

"Come on y'all lets go back and help with the chores." Apple Bloom Said addressing her alicorn friends. Together they finished the cores keeping the secret.

Pig Slop

A few day's pass and nothing had changed the friendship of the new fillies. Comet tails and Eclipse easily adapted to the farm work. Big Mac still handled the heavier of the chores, but handed some of his smaller chores. Scootaloo and Sweetie belle had come to visit every day, keeping the secret well, a secret. School was going fine until…

"Hey, have you got your cutie marks? I think I see one." Diamond tiara sneered. The class had split into groups for projects.

"Oh I see it too Diamond tiara. It's a big fat L." Silver Spoon joined in. "But what does it stand for?"

"How about Lame Loser." Diamond said causing Silver Spoon to laugh.

"Just ignore them girls." Apple bloom whispered.

"So tell us. CML, what's the next big plan to get your cutie marks?"

"What do you want diamond tiara?" Scootaloo asked rolling her eyes.

"I just wanted to tell you that you should be careful when you head out side to day. I hear that someone has planned to prank you, with an awful joke" Diamond warned.

"Why would you warn us?"Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yeah and why should we trust you?" Apple Bloom added.

"I just thought it far to warn the new blank flanks."

"Well we don't need help form you. We can look out for ourselves." Comet Tails noted. Diamond Tiara walked off softly chuckling with Silver Spoon.

"I don't get what their problem is." Eclipse stated.

"Me neither." Apple Bloom agreed as the bell rang. "Come on Y'all. We have some thinking to do." Together the fillies walked to the door, and before they even took one step down the stairs, something wet and sticky fell down on top of them. Laughter rang out from in front of them.

"Welcome to the farm life! New blank flanks. You really do fit in with Apple bloom now. You even got her smell."Diamond tiara laughed.

"What did they drop on us?" Eclipse asked the three fillies who avoided the dump.

"Pig slop!" Silver spoon answered still laughing at the fillies covered in muck and grime.

"Why do you have to be so mean!?" Comet tails yelled running off.

"Silver mist wait!" Apple bloom called after her.

"What is your problem!? " Eclipse yelled at the two rich fillies.

"Yeah! It's bad enough she had lost her family and has to deal with being in an unfamiliar, and all you can do is bully her!" Apple bloom shouted."What have they ever done to you?"

"What's going on out here?" Cheerilee asked stepping outside.

"Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon dumped pig slop all over Silver Mist and Golden Blaze." Scootaloo told the teacher.

"Yeah, and Silver Mist ran off in tears. Come on Eclipse lets go find her." Sweetie Belle said taking off followed by Scootaloo, Eclipse and Apple bloom…

Apple Jack was raking the leaves by the barn. When a soft cry from the barn grabbed her attention.

"What the crab apples?" She muttered to herself as she walked in the barn. Her eyes feel upon the small fillies curled up in the center of a hay stack. "Silver Mist?" the small filly didn't move. AJ walked up to her and laid next her. "What's wrong sugar cube?" Comet tails turned her head slight to AJ.

"Two fillies at school dumped pig slop on me. I washed it off before coming in here." She said quietly.

"Oh. I am so sorry sugar cube." AJ pulled The small tear-filled filly onto her lap and wrapped her into a hug. AJ started to rub the fillies back, trying to sooth her. She felt something twitch as she continued to rub the fillies back. AJ looked closer and saw two lumps on the filly.

"Now I'll be. I have an alicorn filly on my lap." AJ said quietly Comet Tails looked up at the orange earth pony who was staring down at her.

"Please don't lock me away in a dungeon!" Comet tails said.

"Now slow down there sugar cube. Why in all of Equestria would I do that for?" She asked.

"Alicorns are illegal! We…"Comet tails started to explain but was cut off.

"Hold on there. Alicorns ain't illegal. Our princess's are alicorns, don't you know that? This is not a bad thing. It's a great thing. You are one of the lost princess's." Comet tails was confused, how could she out of all pony's be a princess.

"I don't understand." She shyly admitted.

"A few years ago Princess Luna and Princess Celestia gave birth to two beautiful fillies, but a few nights after their birth someone snatched them. No pony has seen them since, until today that is."

"But how do you know it's me?" Comet Tails asked.

"Because you are an alicorn, and you have your mothers eye's." Apple Jack said now recognizing the blue eyes. "This is wonderful, Princess Luna will be so happy. We must take you to her."

"No!" AJ looked at the filly. "Can we wait. This is happening too fast." AJ realized how much there was to take in here, she had no idea what the little filly had been through.

"Okay sugar cube. We can wait, but we must tell my friend twilight soon. Okay?" AJ asked the small trembling filly.

"Okay." Comet Tails agreed.

The secret truth about a lie

The Apple family were prepare for dinner. Big Mac was grilling some corn on the cob and hey steaks, Applejack was making some apple sauce and biscuits with help from Comet tails.
" Listen sugar cube, i think you should tell the rest of the family the truth... tonight." Applejack said in the mother like tone she naturally possessed. The silver coated filly looked up worried.
"But I'm not ready." She pleaded silently. "I need more time."
"Trust me the longer you stick to a lie, the harded it becomes to tell the truth." Applejack explained calmly and nurturing sensing the filly's fear.
"But this is not a lie, its a secret." She argued trying to change the orange mares mind.
"A secret like this don't do any pony any good. You're real mothers are worried for you and your cousin. If your keeping a secret that is hurting others its as bad a telling a lie." Applejack explained.
"Oh I didn't know." Comet Tails sadly said.
"Oh this aint your fault sugar cube, I know you must be scared but i'll be there to help tell the truth if you need it." Applejack comforted her as she trembled with worry.
"Thank you Applejack." Comet tails smile tears in her eyes
"Aw sucks. Your welcome." Applejack said as she gave comet tails a pat on the back.
"What if they send me away to a dungeon? What if they hand me over to.." Comet tails said panicking.
"They wont trust me." Applejack promised. they resumed cooking.
"Can i at least talk to my cousin about it first." She asked
"Sure you can. now lets finish cooking."

Soon all the cooking was done.
"Soups on granny." Applejack called for the old green mare.
"Eeyup." Big mag agreed as he carried food to the table.
"Hold your horses, you two. Golden blaze and Applebloom are still washing up." Granny smith called from her rocker. "Speaking of which, Where are those young whipper snappers?"
"I'll go get them." Comet tails said galloping up the stairs.
"Thank you Silver mist." Granny smith called after her.
Comet tails finally met Applebloom and Eclipse (who was posing as Golden blaze) in the bath room. Both fillies noticed her as she stepped in the room.
"Hey silver mist. I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Diamond tiara and Silver spoon can be big jerks." Apple bloom apologized.
"Don't worry about it, but i have to tell you something, Applejack found out i was an alicorn. I think we need to tell the truth." She said hanging her head sadly
"No way I will not be taken back to a cell!" Eclipse snapped. "We all promised to keep this a secret!"
"I know Eclipse, but Applejack said a secret like this is as bad as a lie." Comet tails said sadly.
"That sounds like something my sis would say, being the element of honesty and all." Applebloom said off topic.
"Well I'm not going to dinner! I won't take any chances! We should never had come to live here." Eclipse muttered darkly.
"But what are you going to do? she knows we're alicorns." Comet tails asked.
"I'll run away, and if you know whats best for you, you will run away with me too." Eclipse said storming out of the room...

Deep down Comet tails knew she shouldn't run away, but she couldn't leave Eclipse alone so she followed her out the back door. Applebloom said she wouldn't say a thing until tomorrow morning this was easier said then done.

Into the ever free forest

Comet tails followed Eclipse as the galloped into the ever free forest.
"Wait up please!" Comet tails cried out desperately. Eclipse had galloped ahead of her. "Please I don't want to be left behind!!!" Eclipse stopped and looked around, trying to figure out where to go next.
"Let's go this why, its denser and they won't find us as easily." Eclipse decided.
"Okay but can we walk for a while my legs are soar." She replied. Eclipse nodded seeing the other filly was starting to look tired.
"Okay, sorry. I just didn't want them to see us enter here."
"It's okay. I'm sorry I was discovered." They started walking deeper into the woods.
"It's okay." Eclipse smiled.
"I thought maybe she was going to help."
"Forget about it okay. Well find a new home soon." Eclipse attempted to reassured her. Comet tails looked down. "And even if we don't find one, we still have eachother." Eclipse placed a wing over the silver filly, who looked up and smiled for the first time that night.
"You know Applejack said we were daughters of princesses." Comet Tails said quietly.
"If that is true, and I don't think it is, Why would our mothers give us up?" Eclipse interrogated.
"She said we were snatched. I think they must miss us."
"Ha! It's more they like sold us or gave us away." Eclipse snapped sarcastically.
"Eclipse…"
"Mothers don't just let their kids get taken. Especially if they are royalty, and even if that is the case I don't think I would want to be a daughter of them." Comet tails went quiet, she touched a raw nerve, and it upset her first and only friend.
Eclipse hadn't meant the things she said she was only heartbroken, and confused. Why her? How could this happen to her. She hadn't done anything wrong that she knew of. If she did do something bad… What was it that she did to deserve this life. She gave Comet tails a glance. She had her head hung numbly. She turned back to see where she was going the same thoughts going threw her mind in a brutal circle.
Back in the kitchen on sweet apple acres all the members of the apples sat down.
"Hey where are Silver mist and golden blaze?" Applejack asked.
"Oh they said they were tired so they went to bed early." Apple bloom answered quickly… too quickly for AJ's liking.
"Applebloom?" She looked up into her big sisters green eyes, which were glancing suspiciously at her.
"Yes, AJ?" She asked trying to sound innocent.
"Is there something you want to tell your big sister?" AJ asked.
"No, I ain't keeping anything from y'all." Apple bloom blurted out.
"I didn't ask ya if y'all was keeping something from me." Applejack glance turned into a intense gaze.
"Opps."
"Apple bloom, you know what we told you about lying." Granny smith scolded. "Now, tell us what you are keeping from your family."
"Okay, alright, I'll confess. They ran away." Apple bloom admitted.
"What?" Applejack gasped. A knock on the door grabbed their attention. Applejack walked up and answered to find Pinkie Pie.
"AppleJack!"
"Pinkie, listen we have a problem."
"I should say so. The two fillies who you are housing are the two lost princesses! I tell you I recognized them instantly, it's like a super power. Om my gosh. Maybe I should become a super pony. I'll call myself The Masked Pinkster, or maybe The Pink Cavalier" pinkie said hyper as usually.
"Pinkie I know but they ran away. I don't know where they went."
"What!?! This look like a job for…" pinkie jumped in the air and sprung on a black cap and mask. "Pinkster The Masked Cavalier! Tra-la de la de la!" Pinkie sung in a heroic way and galloped into the night. AJ turned to her sister.
"Please tell where they went." She asked holding her sister by the shoulders.
"They went into the forest." The small filly answered.
"At this time of night?! Oh no. Big make go get the rest of the group and tell them to meet me at the edge of the orchard the search town just in case."
"Eeyup." The red colt said as he ran out the door.
"I'll come too." Apple bloom said eager to help her friends and family.
"Oh no. You stay here with granny just in case they come back, and besides it's dangerous, and I don't want to have to look for you too." And AJ headed out.
Back in the forest the two fillies were still alone. They stood in a open circle of trees.
"Um, Eclipse. I think we're lost." Comet tails said shaking. The forest was starting to scare her, now that they had no idea where they were.
"I know." Eclipse agreed. A howl in the distance made them jump.
"What was that?"
"I don't know but we shouldn't stay here to find out." The two started walking again, various noises of the night the only thing they could hear, occasionally making them stop and look around. Soon they started to hear soft foot steps behind them.
"Hello who's there?"Comet asked knees shaking. They waited. No one answered.
"Come on let's keep moving." They started to walk again.
The main six gathered at the edge of the orchard.
"What's the matter applejack? Big Mac said it was urgent." Rarity asked skidding to a halt.
"Thanks for coming y'all. We need to venture back into the ever free forest. You see we took in two fillies and they gone and ran off, but that's not it I just found out that they are the lost princesses." AJ explained.
"What?! We got to find those fillies and we got to find them now." Rainbow dash said taking charge.
"I agree with rainbow dash and we better it looks like there's a storm about to start in there." Twilight pointed out.
"Well what are you guys waiting for? Let find those princesses!!! Pinkster The Masked Cavalier away! Tra-la de la de la!!" Pinkie pie said stepping out of the shadows. Then charging in followed by the rest of the group.

Help for the fillies.

The rain started to fall, soaking the two scared fillies.
"Eclipse. I think some pony is following us." Comet tales whispered. Eclipse turned around and looked around. When she saw nothing except trees, she turned back.
"Come on, let's find some where to stay until the rain lets up." Comet tails nodded not liking the storm.
"Look there's a cave." The girls ran and entered the tiny cave big enough to fit the two tiny fillies. They both sat down and watched the outdoor storm.
"Comet Tails… I'm sorry I got you into this." Eclipse apologized.
"No its fine. Well just stay here until morning. I'm tired."
"Yeah me too, let's get some sleep. Good night comet tails."
"Good night eclipse." Soon the two closed their eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.
The main six huddled together, even rainbow dash was earth bound cuz the storm was to wild this night.
"I can't see me own hoof in front of my own face." Apple Jack said holding on to her hat.
"Hold on girls." Twilights horn started to glow making some light.
"Oh those poor fillies. All alone in this storm." Fluttershy muttered.
"Fluttershy, you wouldn't happen to know any animals here who could help us?" Rarity said projecting a light similar to twilight.
"I'm afraid not." Fluttershy answered. Feeling bad for not being able to be of more help.
"Well we're not going to find them in weather like this." Rainbow dash said.
"We can't head back either, we wouldn't make it!" Applejack yelled over a large crack of thunder.
"We can't just stay here either." Rarity argued.
"Look a cave!!!" Pinkie pie shouted.
"Good eye pinkie." Twilight said as they ran to the cave.
"The Masked Cavalier saves the day once again! Tra-la de la de la!" Pinkie called shaking herself dry.
Back with the fillies comet tails woke with a start. Voices were all around her.
"We found one of them now we just need to find the other alicorn felon." Comet tails immediately turned and saw eclipse was gone. She immediately bolted.
"There she is get her!" A large group of soldiers had spotted her.
"No leave me alone!" She cried bolting away from the guards. She ran as fast as she could, dodging tree's , leaping over rocks and streams. But soon she skidded to a halt. A large cliff had trapped her in a dead end the tall figure produced a shadow that masked the young filly. There was no way she could climb it. And she didn't know how to fly that good yet.
She turn to see the soldiers had blocked her. Their red eyes glowed in the night
"There is nowhere else to run. Get her." A brown soldier order, and the rest made a jump towards her.
"No!" Comet tails yelled hiding be nether her wings.
"Enough!" A voice called from above comet tails. A bright light engulfed the soldiers, and in a flash they were gone.
A dark alicorn with a blue mane that looked like the night sky gently flew down. She turned to face the filly who's identity was hidden by shadows.
"You may open your eyes now." She said in a calming voice. Comet tails lifted her winds slightly so she could see.
"Who are you?" She asked still scared.
"I am Princess Luna." Luna answered with a smile. "And let me assure you are quite safe."
"Are you sure?" Comet Tails asked Luna slightly chuckled.
"Yes, this is a dream, nothing can bestow harm on you. Will you come out of the shadows so that I may see you?" Luna asked, Comet stood up and stepped forward into the soft light of the moon. Luna's eyes widen and a gasp escaped her mouth. She gazed at the small grey alicorn filly that stood before her. their eyes, shared the same identical shade of blue.
"Pardon if I stare but by any chance is your name… Comet Tails?" She asked. The small alicorn nodded and Luna… awoken.
Luna's office was lighted by candles. She immediately took off running to her sisters bed chamber. Celestia woke with a start when her door had opened.
"What is it Luna?" She asked confused by her sister's expression.
"Celestia… Our daughters… are alive." Luna and Celestia could help but do nothing but stare at each other.
…
Comet tails awoke to Eclipse shaking her.
"Comet Tails? You were mumbling is everything okay?"
"I think I saw my mom, in my dream but…" she stopped and looked off into the distance. Eclipse looked the same way and saw a hooded pony covered in stripes.
"Little ponies, come with me, I'm no threat I guarantee." She said, softly with a smile. "The storm has let up for a while, but I fear soon it will turn more vile." The small fillies didn't move.
"Who are you?" Comet tails asked
"Zecora is my proud name, helping others is my happy game." She smiled stepping closer. "I must insist you come to my home, for I cannot leave you out alone." The two fillies looked at each other and with a look decided to follow the curious mare.
"How did you know we were out here?" Eclipse asked.
"I was reading a potion book, when I heard voices that made me look. I looked outside and what did I see, just two small little ponies. I grabbed my cloak and went out my door, to get those fillies out of the storm." She explained,
"So you were the one following us?" Comet tails asked. Zecora nodded as she walked on with the young girls.
"That question you asked the answer is true, but I still don't know the tale of you?" Zecora looked down at the two for answers.
"Oh well… we ran away." Eclipse admitted. "We needed a new home, hey maybe we could live with you."
"I can't watch over you I'm sorry to say, but for awhile in my hut you'll stay." Zecora said, as the two fillies looked sadly down.

To Zecora's

Luna and Celestia walked side by side down the hall both trying to comprehend what Luna had seen.
“Are you sure it was them?” Celestia asked as she walked by her sister.
“I am sure. From what I saw they were scared.” Luna said with concern.
“You told me you saw comet tails.” Celestia corrected. “How can we be sure that both are alive?”
“I just know Celestia.” Luna answered. “I don’t know how I do but I just know.”
“Do you have any guesses as to where she would be?” Celestia asked.
“It looked as if she was in the Ever Free forest.” Luna and Celestia looked out the window at the raging storm. “We must go and look for them.” Luna started to walk to the door.
“Luna wait!” Celestia beat her sister to the door. “There will be no way we will get there in this storm I Can said a letter to Twilight. she won’t let us down.” Luna knew her sister was right. So she nodded and let her sister wright her letter.”
Sometime later many miles away spike let out a sudden belch.
“Haven’t felt that in a while.” Spike muttered to himself as he picked up the scroll that had fell to his foot. He opened and read the letter who he knew it was from.
‘Dearest Twilight, My sister Luna and I have had a hunch that our fillies are currently in the forest. We know you have looked tirelessly for them, but for a mother’s sake could you keep an eye out for them. With warm regards Princess Celestia’
Spike knew that Twilight had told him to stay inside, but this was important, and the storm had died down. So he threw on a hooded cape and ran out to meet his friends. Spike rushed through the forest when he slipped face first into the mud.
“Spike! Are you okay?” Twilight asked rushing to his side.
“Yeah Princess Celestia just sent this.” He handed the scroll over. Twilight stared to read and soon was righting a reply with a branch and rock she transfigured into a quill and ink.
“Here send this back for me please.” Twilight levitated the scroll into spikes claw, who sent it to Celestia.
“Spike Great mask! You can be my sidekick! SPIKESTER The hooded knight!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Wow Can I really Pinkie?” Spike asked his face full of anticipation.
“Absolutely! What would Pinkster the masked cavalier do without you?” Pinkie smiled.
“Great. What is our first heroic deed Pinkster?” Spike asked in a determined hero tone.
“We must find the lost fillies, before they are harmed. Let’s go! Tra La de la de la!” Pinkie responded in a similar tone are spike.
“Where should we look first?” Fluttershy asked.
“I say we should head to Zecora. She has a way with fillies.” Apple Jack suggested.
“Great idea. We should head over there right now before the storm picks up again.” Rainbow Dash agreed and so the seven friend took off to the zebra’s home.
Comet Tails and Eclipse sat in front of the fireplace in Zecora’s house.
“Have you fillies become quite warm, after being lost in that storm?” Zecora asked handing the two fillies some nice warm drinks.”
“Yeah Thanks for helping us.” Eclipse said quietly with a sniff as a tear ran down her cheek.
“Poor little filly don’t you cry. Tell me what is making tears fall from your eyes.” Zecora asked in her usual rhyming pattern.
“I just… I want my mom.” Eclipse started to cry. Comet tails immediately hugged her.
“I do too Eclipse.” Comet Tails whispered.
“B-but w-what if s-she doesn’t l-like me?” Eclipse cried. “I d-dreamt that I-I f-found her b-but she s-said she didn’t w-want me.”
“Little Eclipse with mane and tail or yellow and red. You’re fears and dreams have you mislead. Your mother’s love is good and true and I believe she adores you.” Zecora smiled and held Eclipse’s chin up.
There was a knock on the door. Zecora answered.
“Twilight and friends of six you seem to be in a fix.”
“We are Zecora, two fillies are lost in the forest and…” Twilight started to explain as she and the others stepped into the small hut.
“There they are!” Spike shouted with relief.
“Another Case is solve thanks to Pinkster and Spikester!”
“Oh thank Celestia you two are alright.” Fluttershy sighed. Without warning Eclipse bonded to AJ.
“I’m so sorry I ran away!” She cried.
“Aw don’t worry sugar cube.” AJ soothed the sobbing filly.
“Eclipse look she’s an alicorn too.” Comet Tails pointed to Twilight who was looking stunned and relieved. Eclipse looked over and took a few steps to Twilight.
“She is an alicorn. So you we are not illegal.” Eclipse gasped. This statement brought Twilight back to her senses and she giggled.
“Why would you think that?” Twilight asked.
“It’s a long story.” Comet Tails answered.
“We can hear about that latter right now I think we should head back to Ponyville and get some rest. We have a lot to go over.” Twilight smiled.
“Thanks for helping us.” Comet Tails smiled at Zecora.
“It was my pleasure to help you young one. I hope you two have fun.” Zecora winked with a smile.
“They will as long pinkster the masked cavalier is here.” Pinkie smiled and together they left Zecora’s home headed back to town.

Back Together

Twilight escorted her god children to one of the spare rooms. Where a large bed sat nice and warm waiting for them.
“You will sleep here. I hope you’ll be content here.” Twilight warmly welcomed them into the nice room. The nice purple glow from Twilights horn lit the room softly.
“Thank you… I realized we haven’t asked for your name.” Comet Tails said as she surveyed the room.
“Oh I am Twilight Sparkle. When you were born your mothers had asked me to be you Godparent.” Twilight informed them as they climbed into bed.
“What are our mothers like?” Eclipse asked.
“They are extremely nice. You two will absolutely love them.” Twilight smiled as she tucked the two fillies in.
“When do we get to meet them?” Comet tails asked snuggling a small pony doll.
“I am quite sure they will want to see you as soon as possible so they might be here when you wake up.” Twilight smiled.
“I hope they’ll like us.” Eclipse muttered. Twilight lifted the golden filly’s head.
“They will Eclipse. I know they will. Now you two should get some sleep. You two have a big day tomorrow.” Twilight walked away and as she left the room the two fillies and fallen asleep.
Twilight walked back to the throne room where her friends were waiting.
“Twilight have the little one fallen asleep?” Rarity asked stepping forward.
“Yes, but I’m still a little concerned.” Twilight admitted.
“You aren’t the only one Twilight. Those sugar cubes have been missing for years, and now they show up out of the blue.” Apple Jack interjected. “Where have they been all this time, and why would they think being an alicorn was illegal?”
“I don’t know but whoever foul napped them must have been nothing but cruel to them.” Fluttershy added softly.
“I’ll tell you one thing. Whenever we find the sickos who did this, they had better hope I don’t get my hooves on them.” Rainbow dash said making a threatening gestor.
“I’m right behind you on that one.” Apple Jack agreed aggressively.
“Here, here.” Rarity nodded. “Those ruffians will pay for their crimes.”
“What makes you think there are more than one?” Twilight asked.
“Well think about it Twilight, they snatched the two fillies without alerting the guards.” Pinkie Pie pointed out.
“Yeah, and from what I learned from that test I took to be in the wonder bolts reserves. It takes high training and sworn loyalty to be a member of the royal guard.” Rainbow Dash added.
“Your right I should know Shining Armor spent days studding for the test, but even if there were more than one kidnapper the guards should have spotted something.” Twilight thought aloud as she sat on her throne. “That fact alone is very suspicious.”
“Do you think there could be a traitor amongst the guards?” Fluttershy asked sounding very worried.
“I don’t know but that is worth looking into.” Twilight noted. “I will bring this up with Celestia and Luna when they pick up Comet Tails and Eclipse. I just hope we can catch the pony who did this before he or she can do anything else. I’ll tell Celestia and Luna after they had some time with Comet Tails and Eclipse.”
“I can’t imagine the horrors those two went through, let’s just hope it’s not too late to give them a happy life.” Rarity added. The rest agreed and proceeded to think of possible suspects until they were too tired.
The next morning when Comet Tails and Eclipse woke up they were greeted by Twilight in the hall.
“Good morning you two. Your mothers are on their way here, they’ll be arriving shortly.” The smiles that spread across the faces of the fillies erased some of Twilights uneasiness. She led them outside into the nice day and together they watched the sky. The mane six joined them shortly after words along with Sweetie Bell, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
“Howdy there, did you two get some good shut eye?” Applejack asked as she approached.
“Yeah, Thanks for coming guys.” Eclipse said.
“We had to be here for you.” Sweetie smiled.
“What kind of friends would we be if we didn’t?” Scootaloo said putting her front leg around Eclipse’s shoulders.
“What do our moms look like?” Comet tails asked.
“Well Comet Tails your mother is Luna, she has the mane like the night sky and the crescent moon cutie mark.” Comet tails smiled with hope. “Eclipse your mother is Celestia, She has a mane like a rainbow. Her cutie mark is a shining sun. She used to be my teacher when I was still a unicorn.”
“My mom taught you magic?” Eclipse asked.
“Yep.” Twilight giggled. “Oh look here they are.” The golden carriage carrying Celestia and Luna had come into view. The carriage landed softly in front of the castle and Luna and Celestia stepped out.
“Mom?” Comet Tails asked as tears started to fill her eyes. Luna nodded as tears started to fall. “Mommy!” Comet Tails ran to Luna who held out her front legs welcoming her little filly.
“Oh my sweet Baby.” Luna cried. “I’ve missed you so much!” Twilight eyes filled with tears of joy. She turned to eclipse who hadn’t moved from her spot.
“It’s okay Eclipse.” Twilight encouraged the golden filly. Celestia stepped closer when Eclipse came running to her crying.
“It’s okay mommy’s here.” Celestia soothed.
“Don’t let them take me away again! Please.” Eclipse cried into her mother’s soft coat.
“I won’t, I promise.” Celestia hugged her child closer. The rest of the group watched with joy as tears fell from their eyes.
“That is one of the sweetest sights ever.” Pinkie sobbed. “We need a party to celebrate. I’ll just go finish up.” She trotted off wiping away the tears, as the family hugged on.
“Twilight, thank you so much you have once again reunited my family, I could not be any more grateful to you and your friends.” Celestia praised as she held Eclipse. “I also would like to thank you three from what I gather you three have befriended my daughter and niece and had stayed by their sides.”
“Yes thank you.” Luna added.
“It was nothing Princess Celestia. We knew we just had to make friends with them” Apple bloom said wiping away her tears.
“They seem so lonely.” Sweetie bell added.
“Well we are not lonely anymore.” Comet tails smiled.
“Come along darlings Pinkie pie has a party ready for you, and particularly I can’t wait to try the punch.” Rarity smiled as she dried her eyes, and they all walked off to the party.
