Twilight said. "But it will!" Princess Celestia answered "Mwahahahaha!" And with that, Celestia flew away laughing, Thunder following her. "No! I will return you to your old good self!" Twilight sighed. Twilight trudged back to her palace, which looked a gloomy grey in the night. "Spike, take a note." Twilight flopped into bed. "Dear Princess Luna, its hard holding back Celestia, and I'm trying, with all my force, but I don't think I will stand much longer, Beware of-" Twilight woke up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That was the thirteenth time Twilight had had that dream! and she really wanted to find out what Luna had to be careful about, but she had to get ready, today was the day that ponies would be coming in from all over Ponyville. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was making bacon and eggs, everypony was bringing something to her palace for the morning, they were going to play Pathfinder , which was a role playing game. Twilight checked the guest list, it read: Rainbow Dash Fluttershy Applejack Pinkie Pie Rarity Princess Celestia Princess Luna Princess Cadance Shining Armor The Cutie Mark Crusaders (Now Helping People Get Their Cutie Marks) Silver Spoon Diamond Tiara The Cake Family The Apple Family All Of Fluttershy's Animals Anyone The Guests Invite Spike Twilight figured Pinkie would be inviting a bunch of people, So she picked the largest room in the castle to have the party. The big room that wasn't decorated, at all. She got 10 of her longest, nicest tables, and placed them all down in the room, she put a very beautiful table cloth on each one. Every table cloth was different, they all showed different things, some were decorated with her and her friends battles, some were decorated with ponies that they saw around town, but her favorite was one that showed every different place in Equestria. Then, Twilight set out the food tables, which were where everypony could pick out their meal, those weren't quiet as fancy though. Twilight draped the windows with fancy curtains, the curtains were decorated with old stories that once happened. None of them had so much as one false line on them. Twilight lined the tables with utensils and plates, each one had a picture of the outline of a pony. Everything was ready! Well, besides the ponies of course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie came first, about 30 minutes early. "Hi, your early," Twilight said. "Well, I didn't wan't to be late!" Pinkie answered. The two mares continued talking for a pretty long time, in fact, until there were 10 minutes until the party started. Rainbow and Scootaloo came in, "Hey, whats up?" Rainbow asked. "We were just chatting." Twilight answered. "You wanna join in?" "Sure." Rainbow answered. "We're 10 minutes early anyways." Soon Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Applejack, Apple Bloom, The Apple Family, Fluttershy, Fluttershy's pets, and the Cake Family had arrived as well. They talked, and got their Pathfinder games out, they would combine all the games into one. Ponies started pouring in, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor came in, to find Twilight greet them. "We are honored to be invited to this event." Princess Celestia said. The other three nodded. Everyone was at the food tables, figuring out what to eat for breakfast. Twilight chose a salad, and 3 pancakes. Pinkie chose 7 waffles, and a slice of cake. Rainbow chose 50 cookies, and two pieces of cake. Applejack chose a waffle, and some salad, Rarity chose 3 pancakes (without syrup so her hooves wouldn't get dirty) and a salad, and Fluttershy chose salad, and a pancake. They all sat down around each other. The eating and the playing were separate because Twilight didn't want the games to get dirty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, so guys, what d'ya wanna talk about?" Asked Rainbow "Well, I've been working on a shape-shifting spell." Twilight said. "It shape-shifts you for as long as you want" "Coolsies!" Exclaimed Pinkie. "Well, on the farm we're getting ready for the apple cider sellin'." Applejack said. "Sassy Saddles is running my boutique well." Rarity added on to the conversation. "I've figured out a recipe for a new and improved pet food!" Fluttershy said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ponies continued eating and talking, but they didn't know what was coming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ponies finished up eating, and started to play pathfinder. There was a paper that showed everypony at the party, it read: Storyteller: Princess Cadance 1: Shining Armor 2: Princess Celestia 3: Princess Luna 4: Princess Twilight 5: Rarity 6: Rainbow Dash 7: Fluttershy 8: Applejack 9: Pinkie Pie 10: Spike 11: Lyra Heartstrings 12: Bon Bon 13: Vinyl Scratch 14: Octavia 15: Colgate 16: Scootaloo 17: Apple Bloom 18: Sweetie Belle 19: Button Mash 20: Babs Seed 21: Silver Spoon 22: Diamond Tiara 23: Big Mac 24: Granny Smith 25: Apple Fritter 26: Apple Cobbler 27: Brayburn 28: Mrs.Cake 29: Mr.Cake 30: Moon dancer Everypony took their seats, but before they began to play, Twilight had an important message. "Hello, I am host and Princess, Twilight Sparkle. I just have a few announcements to make before we move on to the games." Twilight said " Firstly, that I don't want you to fight about the game, for Celestia's sake, your in the princess of friendship's castle!" Murmurs went through the crowd. "And secondly, that I am planning on something, I'm having a friend of the year every year, but you'll have to wait 6 months until new years! And then everypony started playing, the story line seemed to be about a village, it was a small village named Sandyville, and it was constantly getting attacked by trolls and giants! The ponies had to stop the trolls and giants from attacking and wrecking the village! They were asking witnesses what they saw. Suddenly, everypony got sucked into the game. > Chapter 2: Hello Irrisen, Good Bye Ponyville (Revolves Around Twilight) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a blinding flash of light, and then Twilight found herself standing with just her friends, and Spike, near the edge of a snowy, creepy place. "It's Irrisen! Don't go in!" Applejack warned. "Yeah, the government is witches and an evil queen!" Rainbow agreed. But Twilight was getting sucked into it! "I'm getting pulled in!" So they were forced to go into the creepy, dank Irrisen. It was snowing, and making the ponies and Spike shiver. They were trying to find real food, but there wasn't any, so they had to make Twilight summon some, but that didn't go as planned. The food came alive, so Rainbow and Fluttershy had to make a Tornado around them, Applejack had to put a lasso around it, Twilight had to zap it away with her magical powers, and Pinkie and Rarity, I don't know what they did. "Good work everypony!" Twilight congratulated them. They all congratulated each other after that, and then they went on their way, I don't know where their way was, but they went on it. They walked through the deserted lands, no houses, rotting trees, no food, all evil. It was probably quite disturbing for Fluttershy, but everyone else was doing fine. They took twists and turns hoping to find food, but they couldn't find any. Twilight started trudging along, her head held low. "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for me getting sucked into here." Twilight sighed "Oh, come on Twi! Look on the bright side of things!" Pinkie reassured her. "The bright side that we don't have any food, are stuck in a land only Applejack and Rainbow know, WAIT! That's it!" Twilight exclaimed. "Rainbow, Applejack, is there any food in Irrisen? And if so, where?" "Well, there is food." Rainbow answered cautiously. "But it's in the queen and witches court." Applejack added. "We've got to go there!" Twilight said "But there are many monsters that block the ca-" Applejack was cut off "Oh, you cute little thing!" Fluttershy said. "I'd love to bring you home." "Well, now we have one on our side!" Twilight said, relieved. "We'll just let Fluttershy do all the work, so the strong one can stay rested for when we really need her." Rainbow sighed a sigh of happiness. "The strong ONE?" Applejack questioned annoyed "Well, the strong-EST one." Rainbow Answered They continued babbling until Twilight stopped them. "Way to go Twi!" Pinkie congratulated. "Oh my Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed. "WE LOST SPIKE!" "Oh no! That cute little thing!" Rarity cried. "He was my favorite dragon!" "He was the only dragon you knew." Twilight said. "But he was very cute." Fluttershy added. But they figured they'd run into him later, so they continued their quest. Fluttershy continued to tame monsters and they continued to follow her, making an army, they would do whatever she or her friends wanted them to. Finally there was a big monstrous dragon, which Fluttershy was afraid of, Applejack and Rainbow told the creatures to attack the dragon, and with all the Mane 6 besides Fluttershy working too, the dragon lay helpless on the ground. "Don't trample him, please." Fluttershy asked the monsters. Except, the castle was hidden, so the ponies couldn't find it, the monsters didn't even remember so that was no use. They continued walking until nighttime struck, and they all went to bed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It doesn't have to end this way." Twilight said. "But it will!" Princess Celestia answered "Mwahahahaha!" And with that, Celestia flew away laughing, Thunder following her. "No! I will return you to your old good self!" Twilight sighed. Twilight trudged back to her palace, which looked a gloomy grey in the night. "Spike, take a note." Twilight flopped into bed. "Dear Princess Luna, its hard holding back Celestia, and I'm trying, with all my force, but I don't think I will stand much longer, Beware of the game." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up, she yawned in her sleeping bag. "Hey, Twi, I didn't know you would be up this early!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I know we'll find the castle today, I just know it." Twilight said "And Why'd you say this early? Looks like 8:00 A.M to me!" "Well, the time in Irrisen is different then the time in our world, so its really 6:00 A.M here when it looks like 8:00 A.M in our world." Pinkie answered. Soon everypony else woke up and they went on their way. "Um, guys, how'd we get sleeping bags, we slept on the bare ground last night." Rarity said. "Well, who cares?" Pinkie asked. "It's not all that bad if we got sleeping bags for nothing." Suddenly, the 6 ponies got yanked into the castle. "Hey! You guard who yanked us in here! I wanna battle!" Rainbow did some fake karate. "Eenope." The guard said. "Big Mac!" Applejack nearly jumped out of a guard's arms. "What're you doin' here?" "I've always worked here, under the great queen, why?" "Cause your my big brother!" Applejack exclaimed. "Well in our world, at least." "I've always lived in this world." He answered and stopped at a door."Stay here, with the guards." They waited for about 3 minutes, and then Big Mac came out. "The queen says you may come in." Big Mac said They followed Big Mac into the throne room, then they stopped. "Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked "Make that Queen Celestia, dear." > Chapter 3: An Exit (Revolves Around Twilight) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I sentence these 6 ponies to death!" Celestia roared. "For daring enter my domain!" "No, but Cel-" A guard put his hoof over Twilight's mouth and took her down to a lava pit. Twilight tried to zap the guards to dust, only managing one, but luckily it was Rainbow's, Rainbow knocked Twilight's over, and she zapped Applejack's, Applejack lassoed Fluttershy and Fluttershy politely asked a guard to let go, he refused, so Rainbow kicked him in the butt, Freeing Rarity, Pinkie just hopped out of the guard's arms and punched him in the head. They escaped by a wooden bridge that led across the lava pit. "Oh my Celestia, that was weird." Twilight said as the ponies hurried out of the palace. "Thought you could make it away that easily? Celestia laughed "5 letters, W-R-O-N-G." 7 witches joined at her sides and started zapping at the ponies. Twilight zapped 1, Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack used teamwork to knock out 4 and Rarity threw jewels at 2, finally Celestia had no backup. They all combined forces and Fluttershy gave her the stare, Celestia could take maybe 4 at once, but not 6! She disappeared into thin air before the 6 ponies could make her weak enough so they could move on. The 6 ponies tried to get out of the land, but they couldn't find a border. The monsters, they had really bad memories, so they forgot everything that happened the day before, and for some reason, Fluttershy wasn't working on them the way it did yesterday, so they kinda had to use force and take all power away from the monsters. Fluttershy was crying the whole time, and that didn't help much. Rainbow was having the time of her life, and Twilight was focused, very focused. Applejack was doing her usual lassoing and Rarity was throwing gems again. Pinkie was punching and kicking the monsters in the face. This was one of their battles, They creep quietly up toward the monster, leaving Fluttershy behind to cry in a bush. Twilight zaps his butt, Rainbow kicks him in the back, Pinkie punches his face 3 times, he gives Pinkie a scar, Rarity throws some gems, the monster keeps the gems and focuses on their beauty, Applejack lassos, and Twilight zaps, and Rainbow kicks, and he's down. They did this for quite some time, in fact, they knocked every monster in the land out! But they still couldn't find an exit. They traveled past white hills, and snowy fields, damp woods, and frozen desserts, but they still couldn't find an exit. They decided to sleep on it, but Twilight didn't dream about what was happening, she dreamed about what WOULD happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It doesn't have to end this way." Twilight said. "But it will!" Princess Celestia answered "Mwahahahaha!" And with that, Celestia flew away laughing, Thunder following her. "No! I will return you to your old good self!" Twilight sighed. Twilight trudged back to her palace, which looked a gloomy grey in the night. "Spike, take a note." Twilight flopped into bed. "Dear Princess Luna, its hard holding back Celestia, and I'm trying, with all my force, but I don't think I will stand much longer, Beware of the game." She sighed. "It is not what it seems." Spike sent the note to Princess Luna. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up and rubbed her eyes, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow were already up. "Should we wake these sleepy heads up?" asked Fluttershy. "Yeah." Said Rainbow. The 4 ponies woke the 2 other ponies up "Don't you ever dare disturb me from my beauty sleep again!" Rarity said angrily "Oh come on, Rarity, it's just sleep." Rainbow insisted "It's definitely not "Just sleep"!" Rarity tried to tackle Rainbow, but Rainbow flew out of the way, making Rarity lunge into Twilight's chest. "Ouch! Girls, stop!" They started walking, and they found a promising Taiga, which is a freezing, damp forest. They were pretty tired from their hikes, and hungry, and thirsty too. Their walk slowed into a stroll, and their stroll turned into a run, they had found some water! And, even better near the pond of water, there was juicy fruit, and coconuts, and pine trees! The 6 ponies had a blast, refreshing themselves from the hikes, and their almost deaths. They were scarred all over, and Pinkie had this big gash on her back hoof. Pinkie decided to take a dip, and guess what she found out, she found out that the water was healing and the water would taste like whatever the drinker wanted it to! Everyone was swimming in the pond, besides Rarity, she was just sitting near the edge, and Fluttershy was still in floaties, but other than that, it seemed like a normal day at the pool. They were in the pool for a few hours, but then they left, it really was very relaxing. They trudged along the Taiga feeling very good, but sleepy, very sleepy, suddenly, they all collapsed. But this time, Twilight had a different dream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She was falling from the sky onto Canterlot, she reached it, unharmed, she walked toward the throne room. "Hello, Luna." Twilight greeted her "Hello Twilight, I'm very glad that you are here." "Why?" Twilight asked "Because, Celestia, she's coming here, to Canterlot." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight sat bolt upright, it was still early morning, and no one else had woken up yet. Twilight couldn't stop thinking about her dream, would Celestia come into her world, was she plotting that, the evil Celestia? Soon the other ones woke up and the ponies started to walk along the path again, soon they saw a light. The light was blinding. "It's a passage! We can choose wherever we want to go in the pathfinder world, we have completed this quest, and have survived!" Rarity exclaimed. "Didn't know you knew that much about Pathfinder." Rainbow said, shocked. And the 6 ponies walked through the passage, and onto their next adventure.
