> Family Bonding At Tartarus > by Pegasister107 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “AUCH!” Cadance exclaimed as she fell into Equestria´s largest and most security filled prison,Tartarus.The floor, which was as shiny as her own crystal home, instantly created chains to hold her right front hoof A few seconds later, both of her aunts fell and chains formed to hold their whooves as well.While Celestia´s tired expression didn´t changed, Luna panicked as soon as she saw the chain. “NO! No, no, no, no, no, no!” The big entrance door closed behind them, as did all the others, leaving them locked up “NO!” Luna screamed and, then, started pulling the chain and flapping her wings, thought she never took off, she had lost her flight. Cadance raised an eyebrow at her whining aunt.After a few seconds, she looked at the other one, very confused “What's up with her?” “Prison-Phobia, she got it at the moon” “Oh.That's………...Unfortunate” “Not as unfortunate as your own Dark-Magic-Phobia, oh dear niece”The moon princess groaned, pulling the chain with all her strength, which wasn't much considering their current state “Same magic that killed MY FATHER, or rather, YOUR BROTHER.Thank you very little, oh dear aunt” “Let's not talk about that guy” And, with that, Cadance broke into laughter.Celestia couldn´t help but giggle a bit herself. “UGH!” Luna exclaimed “Do not humor us, sister, our recent suffering is your doing” “Well, it wasn't my wisest choice, I admit.But, without the Elements of Harmony.Without Disco….…..” “DON´T SAY THAT NAME!” She sighed “Forgive us, sister.With all thou respect, we´ll have to question your motives, or rather, excuses for trusting thee mate as Equestria´s guardian” “MATE?!” Celestia snapped “DISCORD ISN'T MY BOYFRIEND!!” She paused, and frowned “He WAS” Cadance put a hoof on Celestia´s shoulder. “It is at times like this when you aren't sensible enough, auntie Lulu” “UGH!” A few minutes of silence passed, only disturbed by the sound of Luna struggling to pull the metal chain out. “Are you quite done with that?” Celestia asked, her voice barely above a whisper “What does thou desire us to do? We are trapped here forever!” “Don't be like that, auntie,Twily will get us out in no time” Cadence said, a sympathetic smile in her face. “Hope so” The night princess said, as she sat down looking at the ceiling “She always does” “I beg to differ.I asked her to hide” “Second my sister, the youngling´s admiration for her is quite apparent” “Well, she can´t just leave us here Can´t she?” Luna snorted at her niece “That's what I said the first time CELLY!” Celestia sighed and turned to her niece “I liked better when she was in limbo state, you know” “Limbo state?” “When she was first freed from Nightmare Moon.Before her water-mane thing got back” “Yeah, I've always wondered How do you wash that thing?” “Magic” The two sisters answered “Figures” More and more minutes passed.This time, the silence was complete, nothing interrumping or questioning it.After a long while, Luna talked again: “We are SO getting rid off that menace of draconequus if we get out.That is IF we get out” “As much as he deserves it, I don't think you should” Celestia said and, thought her expression couldn´t be stated, she was certainly not happy. “Still have a soft spot towards him, Celly?” The sun princess glanced at the floor and Cadence answered for her: “I think auntie CELESTIA means that violence is never a choice” “Thanks, Candy, I……….” “We should probably just lock him up here forever!” The pink alicorn smiled And that was it.That was all it took for Luna to crack up and start laughing “Thou is correct, Candy” She said between chuckles “Yours is a good point” “Thank you” It took several minutes and deep breaths for Luna to calm down. “It wasn't THAT funny” Celestia whispered on her sister's ear Then, there was more silence.Suddenly, a white, purple, yellow, pink,orange and light blue wave of magic passed throught the open skies.It opened the doors, made the chains dissapear, and gave them back their magic, flight and energy. “Told ya” Cadance said with a smirk "I´m so proud of her" "We all are, Candy, we all are" And so the three alicorns opened their wings and took it to the skies, flying straight to Ponyville, where Celestia found………. “Golden Oaks Library” She said, awestruck. The other two knew not what to say as they watched the white alicorn sit down to look at the remains of the tree in front of her.It was destoryed, it was dirty, it was broken forever and ever, it had been blown up to smithereens with no mercy or second thoughts.Or first thoughts for that matter. “Twily must be devastated” Cadance said, finally “She probably is” A loud noise, not too far away was heard and they turned around to find something amazing, something incredible: A White, dark blue and purple castle, with Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark all over it, was appearing right out of nowhere.It was an impressive building and Cadence found it´s style very,very similar to that of her own crystal home as the sun reflected on it and made it shine as brightly as it possibly could.Luna smiled. “Or probably not” A loud SQUEE! was heard behind them and they turned around to find a very, very young filly flapping her wings with her eyes sparkling, full of magic and joy. “Mommy! Mommy! I can fly again!” “You´re right, sweetie! Princess Twilight and her friends did it again!” “But Why are they all never rewarded?” “I don't know, dear” The princesses looked at each other, then at the castle, then back at each other, then at the castle again. “She HAS been saving our flanks a lot lately” Cadance admitted “Because thou forces her to”Princess Luna looked at her sister in anger Princess Celestia shrugged “She's never in any real danger” “I wish I was able to say this is the first time this has happened………….THIS MONTH.Um………………...Dinner party at Canterlot someday?” “Why not?” “Come on,girls, let's wait for her inside” They entered the castle and sat down, waiting for their loyal heroes to come back. The end.
