Flurry is still a filly and gets called by the map andends up wanting to explore more.
When Flurry gets called by the map when she is still a filly who will she be called to go on adventures with, and where will she go from there? Find out by reading.
I woke up this morning wondering what to do as I lay there in bed looking out the window. "Hmm" I said out loud. Somepony started knocking on my door "Who's there?" I wondered as I looked over and mom walked in.
"Hey Flurry, good morning!" She said smiling at me.
"Hi mom, good morning!" I said smiling back at her.
"How's my Flurry doing this fine morning?" She asked.
"I'm doing alright, i'm just bored and wondering what i'm going to do today." I said frowning a bit.
"Well there's allot of stuff to do." She said.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Well, you can go out and play with other fillies, or go see Sunburst, he always loves when you visit." She said.
"But mom! that's boring, no offense to Sunburst, but all he does is read them books." i said.
"Maybe you'd enjoy it if you read books with him, or he read books to you." She said smiling.
"But mom I don't like books, I need some adventure in my life!" I said.
"Aww Flurry, you know that will nev-" She got cut off when flashing started happening.
"Mom? What in the world does this mean?" I asked confused.
"Well, looks like you get what you want, Aunty Twilly's map is calling you for a Friendship Problem, you should leave Immediately." She said knowing she has to let me go.
"Ooh yay!" I said happily I went to go pack my bags then left to go to Twilight's Castle in Ponyville.
At Twilight's Castle
"Hi auntie Twilly, mom said that the map is calling me?" I asked.
"It is Flurry, you and Rainbow Dash are being called to solve a problem in The Crystal Empire actually." She said confused.
"Oh wow." I said. Hmm wonder who has a friendship problem in Crystal Empire.
"Aww yeah! I haven't been there in a while." Rainbow Dash said smiling.
"Flurry, you're the first pony without a cutimark to get called by the map, you should be proud of yourself." Twilight said smiling and jumping.
"Really! I am? I am proud." I said smiling happily.
"You girls should leave, Flurry I know you just got here, but it's sending you back to The Crystal Empire." Twilight said.
"It's alright." I said as I got up to leave with Rainbow Dash.
We left Twilight's Castle and went to the train station to wait and talked. "Hey Rainbow, how have you been?" I said starting the convo.
"Hey Flurry, i've been awesome, as always." She flipped her hair "How have you been? How's the Crystal Empire going?" She asked.
"Things could be better, i've been bored lately, nothing to really do." I said I lowered my head to show how bored i've been
"Aww Flurry, you've got to make the most of it though, go out and have fun, make it fun instead of boring." She said smiling.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up Dashie, but that's not going to work, I try, but my mom never lets me leave the Empire. unless she leaves." I said sadly.
"Well, the Empire does need their Princess, so they have somepony to turn to in case of emergencies." She said.
The train arrived and we got on and continued talking. "I guess you're right, but I am just a filly, I need adventure, and when I get called away, it brings me right back to where it started." I said.
"Oh I see, it'll be alright, you should tell her how you feel." She said.
"Well, I should, but i'm afraid she'll hate me and think i'm back mouthing her and then i'll end up gro-" RD Cuts me off.
"Woah there Flurry, stop being Twilight Jr. and have a 20 minutes freak out session of what could go wrong, live in the present girl." RD said
"Um, sorry I tend to ramble." I said.
"I've noticed, it runs in your dad's side of the family." She laughed as she made the bad attempt at joking.
"Well, I guess I can try talking to her, you'll be there too won't you? PLEASE?!" I begged.
"Of course, Flurry I will be here every step of the way for you."
"Thank you!" I said with excitement.
"No problem, just be 20% Cooler when you tell her how you feel." She said.
"You and your catchphrases." I said laughing.
Over loudspeaker we hear "NEXT STOP CRYSTAL EMPIRE!" and we grab our bags.
"So what are we doing when we get there!?" Rainbow Dash asked in a motivational tone.
"I am going to go tell my mom how I feel." I said.
"I CANT HEAR YOU!" She screamed.
I'm going to tell my mom how I feel!" I said louder.
"Right!" She said motivating me more.
We arrive at The Crystal empire and start walking over
"Thank you for helping me Dashie, I appreciate it allot." I said smiling at her.
"Of course Flurry, what are friends for?" She said laughing.
"So Rainbow, how's it going with the Wonderbolts?" I asked.
"It's going great! Allot of work, but nothing I can't handle." She said proudly.
"That's good to hear! Anyways, my mom is always telling me to go play with other fillies or go see Sunburst, who is always reading every minute of the day." I said sadly.
"I think that's her trying to give you some freedom around the Empire because they need you here." RD said.
"Well, I hate it." I said.
We arrive at the castle, and mom greets us.
"Flurry? Back so soon? Hi Rainbow." She said.
"The friendship problem is here apparently, but anyways, mom can we talk inside?" I asked.
"Of course Flurry." She said. We went inside to the main room.
"So mom, RD actually helped me to get confidence to tell you how I feel." I said.
"Oh?" She said.
"Mhm, anyways, mom I feel trapped because I can't go anywhere, or do anything outside the empire, the only time I leave is if you and dad leave, or to Twilight's Castle, and I don't like it, and i've been bored allot lately, not much to do here and Sunburst is always reading books which makes his visits boring." I said.
"Oh?" I'm sorry Flurry, I-I didn't know you felt that way, I guess I'm just afraid of what would happen when you leave The Empire that I didn't think of how you felt, you should have told me sooner." Mom said Mom came to me and hugged me.
"It's ok mom, I'll be fine, I'll still live here, I just want to see the world more, the only place's i've visited is here, Canterlot, and Ponyville." I said I hugged her back.
"If you go on long adventures and don't come home that day, please send letters so I know you're ok, Promise me that?" She asked nervously.
"I promise mom." I said.
"I-I love you Flurry." She said Mom started crying a little knowing that i am growing up and I'm not a little filly anymore.
"It's ok mom, I love you too." I smiled.
"Aww this mushy stuff gonna make me cry." RD said starting to cry.
Our cutiemarks started flashing telling us friendship problem solved.
"WHAT?!" Rainbow said confused.
"Wow." I said.
"We didn't even try, it all started from us talking on the train what the hay." She said still confused.
"Bye mom, I am going to go tell Twilly what happened." I said.
"Bye sweetie." She said.
We then flew over to Ponyville fast and went into Twilight's Castle.
"You girls are back? So soon?" Twilight asked confused.
"Mhm, the problem was with my mom and Dash helped solve it on the train ride by boosting me to tell her how I feel about not being able to go anywhere, Dash solved it accidentally." I said.
"Yeah! I was confused when our cutiemarks started flashing, solved it not even realizing." She laughed.
"Wow, so things with your mom wasn't the best?" She asked.
It was a few weeks after me and Dash solved me and my mom's problem, I wanted to go somewhere today, to where? I have no idea yet. "Mom, can I go explore somewhere today?" I asked.
"To where Flurry?" She asked.
"I don't know yet, maybe to The Everfree forest, I've heard stories of that place and of Zecora." I said.
"Hmm, just stay safe, ok Flurry?" She said.
"Yes mom, I will." I said. I walked out the door and flew over to the Everfree forest.
"Hmm, Why is it so dark here?" I said out loud. I kept walking through the forest then seen a house of some sorts and walked to it and knocked.
"Who is this knocking on my door? Why it's little Flurry Heart of the Crystal Empire." She said.
"Um hi, you know my name?" I asked.
"Everypony knows your name." She said.
"Oh, I've never left the Crystal Empire so I wouldn't know." I said.
"Flurry Heart my have you grown." She said.
"Yea." I said confused.
"I am Zecora the Zebra, and this is my hut in the Everfree Forest." She said.
I wondered why she talked weirdly.
"What brings Flurry Heart to my hut?" She asked.
"Well, my mom wouldn't let me leave and kinda caused a whole friendship problem, and Dashie helped me with solve it a while back, it was about me feeling trapped and then I told her my feelings, and she said it'll hurt her but I can go because it's part of growing up." I said.
"And growing up you shall do, Rainbow Dash used to visit allot, you can ask her to come visit sometime? Won't you?" She asked.
"Of course!" I said.
"You're exploring in the Everfree Forest I see, be careful of the danger that lurks." She said.
"I will, thanks Zecora."
She handed me a potion of sorts. "You will need this if you wish to be extra careful." She said.
"Oh? Well thank you- I guess." I said.
"Bye Flurry Heart, visit again sometime." She said.
"Bye Zecora!" I said.
I left her hut and started down a path towards unknown lands that I have not seen.
After I left Zecora's Hut I started wandering the forest till I came across a bridge.
"Hmm, it doesn't look safe." I said out loud to myself. I start walking across it and it wobbles and then I realize I am afraid of the bridge and start crying as I try to keep going even with fear of falling.
"I should have never tried to explore here." I said out loud again. I came across a castle and walked towards it. "Ooh is this the castle of the two sisters Twilight told me about, but what's down these steps."
I walked down the steps and seen a cave and went inside and seen a tree. "Oh my gosh is this the tree of harmony with the elements of harmony inside?"
I heard a noise and tried hiding but it kept getting closer.
"RAWRRRRRRR" the thing said.
(I don't want to die, I wanna go home) I thought.
I started crying quietly then suddenly somepony came in and told the thing it's alright.
"It's ok big fella, you must have thought she was trying to steal." She said.
"Fluttershy! thank goodness I thought I was done for."I said.
"Oh, hi Flurry, your mom asked if I would keep an eye on you and only swoop down if you need assistance, and well you needed help." She said shyly.
"Thanks for motherly instincts I would have been gone without that." I hugged her
"I was really scared Fluttershy, first it was the bridge, then the manticore, I cried allot." I said still crying.
"Aww it's okay now Flurry, no need to cry."
"Well I had enough adventure today, and probably for a while." I said.
"Bye Flurry." She said smiling.
"Bye Fluttershy!" I said.
I flew back to the Crystal Empire and told mom and dad what had happened.
"So mom, dad, this helped me realize something." I said.
"What's that?" Mom asked.
"Well, I realized I don't belong doing adventures unless the map calls, I belong here, in the Crystal Empire." I said proudly.
"Aww Flurry, but if you do want to go on adventures still, you can, it is your choice now." mom said.
"I probably will, but not for a while."
My blank flank started glowing
"Woah! Flurry!" Dad said.
"What just happened?" I asked confused.
"I think you found out your role to play in Equestria sweetie." Mom said.
"Oh wait I got my cutiemark!?" I said.
"Yes Flurry, you did!." Dad said.
I smiled as I stared at it running in circles.
"Aww hun, our little Flurry has grown up now." Mom said crying with happiness.
"I know dear." Dad said smiling at me.
"We are so proud of you Flurry! We love you." Mom said as she hugged me.
"Thank you guys!" I hugged mom and dad
"Time for bed Flurry, you've had a long day." Mom said kissing my forehead goodnight.
"Night mom! Night dad!" I said I went up to my room layed in bed and eventually fell asleep.
It was a sunny day in the Crystal Empire I was looking out my bedroom window and thought.
(What's next in my life now that I have my cutiemark, what does it mean?) I wondered.
"Good morning Flurry." Mom said walking in.
"Morning mom." I said.
"How are you today?" She asked.
"I'm ok, I am just wondering what's next, like I don't know what this means." I said pointing to my flank.
"Oh sweetie, you'll find out soon enough." She said smiling.
"What if I don't, what if instead of finding out who I am I don't and I never do?" I said.
"Sweetie, don't think like that, you'll play your part when the time comes." Mom said hugging me.
"But mom, I can't help but to think like that." I said.
Mom teleports us in front of the other princesses.
"Um." I said confused.
"Flurry, stop thinking like twilight did, you'll play your part." Celestia said.
Cadence, Celestia, and Luna started singing.
🎶"Your destiny’s uncertain And that’s sometimes hard to take But it will become much clearer With every new choice you make"🎶 Celestia sang doing a whole dance routine.
🎶"Patience is never easy I understand wanting more I know how hard it is to wait To spread out your wings and soar"🎶 Luna sang with a dance routine too.
🎶"But you stand here for a reason You’re gifted and you are strong That crown is upon your head because You belong."🎶 Cadence sang as she walked around me.
🎶"Know that your time is coming soon As the sun rises, so does the moon As love finds a place in every heart You are a princess; you’ll play your part"🎶 Celestia, Luna, and Cadence all sang as they flew in circles in the sky.
🎶"We understand you wanting more A chance to shine, a chance to soar"🎶 Luna sang again.
🎶"Soon will come the day it turns around"🎶 Cadence sang as she flew around.
🎶"Know that your time is coming soon As the sun rises, so does the moon As love finds a place in every heart You are a princess; you’ll play your part"🎶 They all sang in sync.
🎶"You are a princess; you’ll play your part"🎶 Celestia sang smiling.
"Um, thanks guys, I needed that." I said forcing a smile.
"You will find who you are meant to be, if it takes more than a week, talk to the CMC, that is their job, to help ponies find their true self." Celestia said.
After I left Sweet Apple Acres I took a train back to the crystal empire, to tell my mom what I've learned.
"Mom!" I said loudly.
"What? What is it sweetie?" She asked.
"They actually helped me figure it out." I said.
"So you know your role?" She asked.
"Yes!" I shouted.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Well, so you know how I got my cutiemark, realizing that I belong here, and not adventuring?" I asked
"Yes?" She wondered.
"What if, I am meant to rule the Crystal Empire with you?" I asked.
"Oh wow! who would have thought that?" She asked.
"Well, Sweetie Belle said it, but they were all probably thinking it." I said.
"Well, if you're meant to rule, we will have a coronation, let's tell the other princess's." Mom said.
We wrote a letter to the other princesses saying that we are having a coronation.
"We came as soon as we got the letter." Celestia said as she walked in.
"I see we are having a coronation, but of who? There is no new princess here." Luna said.
"It is of me, I am meant to rule this empire by my mothers side." I said proudly smiling.
"Oh? Really?!" Twilight said sounding surprised.
"Yes! The CMC helped me realize that is why I got my cutiemark, it happened right after I realized that I belong here." I stated.
"Well, let's get this coronation ready, we will do it tomorrow, but get ready for it today."
Twilight asked her friends to help make preparations for the coronation, Rarity to make the dress, Rainbow Dash to get the WonderBolts to perform, Apple Jack to cater the food, Fluttershy for the music, and Pinkie Pie to set up the party.
"This is going to be awesome!" Rainbow said.
"You know it!" Pinkie said.
"Yay." Fluttershy said shyly.
"We should all go rest up, it's a big day tomorrow." Mom said smiling at me.
"Ok mom, good night everypony." I said.
"Good night Flurry!." They all said.
I went to my room and layed down and eventually fell asleep.
"Flurry, time to get up." Mom said tapping my shoulder.
"I'm up!" I said a little startled.
"Sweetie, are you ready? It's your big day." Mom said.
"I'm ready mom!" I said happily.
"I'm so proud of you." Dad said walking into my room.
"Aww thanks dad." I said hugging him.
"Of course Flurry." He said hugging me and kissing my forehead.
"Come down to eat breakfast, then we will get you ready for the coronation." Mom said smiling.
We all went down to the table and ate pancakes.
"Mmmm, I love pancakes mom!" I said drooling a little.
"I know, haha flurry you're drooling again." Mom said.
"Oops, I didn't realize." I wiped the drool and laughed.
"Time for you to go get your dress on, Rarity will come to your room with it." Mom said.
"Ok mom! I'll go wait for her there." I said.
I went up to my room and seen Rarity waiting.
"Hi Rarity! Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long." I said.
"You can never make me wait too long darling." She said.
We walk in my room and she brings out the dress and puts it on me.
"Oh my stars darling, isn't it the most amazing dress ever?!" She said smiling.
"It is Rarity! I love it!" I smiled.
"Let's go show your mom and dad how beautiful their daughter is in this dress." Rarity said.
"Aww Rarity thanks." I said smiling.
We went back down to where my parents were to show them.
"Oh my gosh Flurry sweetie, you look so beautiful." Mom said trying not to cry.
"She really does." Dad said full on crying.
"Aww dad you don't have to cry about it."
"I know, I am just so happy and proud of you." He said.
"Thanks." I said.
A few pony hours later of getting ready for coronation, we met on the balcony of the crystal castle, it was time to do the coronation.
"Mares and Gentlecolts of The Crystal Empire this is a coronation of Princess Flurry Heart, And Princess Cadence and their union of power and ruling the Empire, Together, as Daughter and Mom, Mom and Daughter, they share the power." Celestia said.
"WOOHOO!!!!!!" Pinkie Pie said shooting a party cannon.
"Spike, crown please." Celestia said.
"Yes ma'am!" Spike said.
Spike got the crown and gave it to Celestia.
"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you a ruler of The Crystal Empire." Celestia said
Celestia put a crown on my head.
(Hmm? This crown feels different, It also feels different. I feel more powerful than usual.) I thought.
"Would you like to say a few words Flurry?" Luna asked.
"Yes, I would." I said smiling.
I walk out further onto the balcony.
"I could not have realized what my cutiemark meant without my friends, The CutieMark Crusaders! They helped me realize when I got it, that I should rule with my mother, I have come along way, just like Celestia and Luna, sister and sister, Me and my mother, mother and daughter. we rule together, I will do my best to protect the Empire from anything, with the help of my mother." I said smiling and bowing after.
"Flurry, that was an amazing speech!" Mom said.
"Thanks mom." I smiled.
A party and a few hours later we left the coronation, and I went to my room and layed down and my dad walked in.
"Well, Celestia was supposed to tell you this, but she had forgotten to tell you." Dad said.
"Tell me what?" I asked.
"Well, that crown, it holds allot of power, with power comes responsibility, and control, you will need to see Celestia so she can teach you to control it." He said.
"Oh, that's why I felt more powerful when she put it on my head?" I asked.
"Exactly why." He said.
"Oh, but why did I get this crown?" I asked.
"I don't know you'll have to ask Celestia." He said.
"Oh, fine, I'll ask her later." I said.
Later I flew over to Canterlot to meet with Celestia.
"So, why do I have this crown? These powers? Why me?" I asked.
"Well, this crown is no ordinary crown, it was a crown that was passed down from generation to generation, it belonged to an Empress long ago who ruled over the Empire." She explained.
"Oh, but why was it given to me?" I asked again.
"It was given to you because you are powerful and I see you doing much good with the power that comes with it." She said.
"What power?" I asked.
"It gives power to mess with anypony's mind, to be able to make anypony tell the truth, and to make your magic you already have 10 times more powerful, I have my full trust in you Flurry." She said bowing.
"You're putting all your trust into me? With this much power? I asked."
"Yes, I trust you only will use it for good, not evil." She said.
"I promise, I will never use it for evil."
"Good! You may leave, tell your parents if you wish." She said."
"Thanks Celestia!" I said.
"Of course, I will train you in the magic another day." She said.
"Alright." I said.
I left Canterlot and went to The Crystal Empire and told my parents the stuff Celestia said.
"So, you're basically an Empress now?" Mom said.
"Well, yeah kind of, but I promised I'm only using my powers for good." I said.
Out of no where I got taller and more mature.
"Um, why does the ground look further away?" I asked confused.
It was time for me to start training to learn how to use my newfound magic.
"Flurry! Time to wake up sweetie." Mom said.
"Five more minutes." I said rolling over.
"Flurry, get up so you can eat before you go to training." Mom said.
"Fine." I said as I got out of bed.
We went down and sat at the table.
"Who's hungry?" Dad said coming into the dining room with eggs bacon and pancakes.
"Ooh, it looks so good hun." Mom said.
"Mmm yummy!" I said.
Dad handed plates out and we ate and talked.
"So, Flurry, what are your new abilities?" Dad asked.
"Well, I can control ponies minds, make ponies tell the truth, and makes my magic I already have 10 times stronger." I explained.
"Oh wow that's allot." Dad said.
"Don't worry, I am only using it for good, never evil." I said.
"That's good." Mom said.
"Flurry, I am so proud of you." Dad said smiling trying not to cry.
"Thanks dad." I said smiling too.
"Time for you to go to Canterlot." Mom said.
"Ok mom!" I said packing then starting my fly over.
I left the empire to head to Canterlot but on my journey I seen ponies arguing so I flew in.
"What is this argument about?" I asked.
"He stole my food from my cart!" one said.
"I did not steal her food!" He said.
"I am new at this ability but, You will tell the truth." I said
I lit my horn to use the magic to make the pony tell the truth.
"I did not steal anything, honestly." He said.
"Who did then?" The other said.
"What food was it?" I asked.
"It was a pumpkin pie, I made it myself, it took hours to make right to be able to sell it." She said.
"Here." I said
I used magic and made a pumpkin pie appear on her cart.
"Wow, thank you so much Princess." She bowed.
I took off onto my journey to Canterlot and noticed a changeling trying to attack a pony, and landed.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"I hated being reformed!" The changeling said trying to attack."
"Oh really?"
I used magic to make the changeling change it's mind and go back to being reformed.
"Thank you so much princess!" The pony said bowing.
"Of course!" I said.
I took off and flew to Canterlot.
"Welcome Flurry!" Celestia said.
"Sorry I'm late!" I said.
"I see you've passed the test." She said.
"What test?" I asked confused.
"Well, the ponies arguing, then the changeling, you've delt with them both, I put those in play to see if you could figure out how to use the crowns magic." She explained.
"Oh? I was not even thinking I just did what I would have done." I said.
"Well, you have passed, you don't need training as you solved 2 problems first try and took the time to stop knowing I was waiting, and knowing you were going to be late to train." She said.
"Wow, so I passed? I wasn't expecting a test." I said.
It was morning, the sun was just rising, birds were starting to chirp, the wind was blowing, and it was warm outside, I stared out then heard knocking on my door.
"Come in." I said still looking out.
"Good morning Flurry." Mom said.
"Morning mom." I said smiling.
"Are you hungry? I made breakfast." She said.
"Yeah, I'll be down in a few minutes." I said.
"Alright Flurry, don't be too long the food will get cold." She said walking out.
I hurried up and did my mane to make it look nice then went down to the table where mom was waiting to eat.
"Hi mom." I said wondering if she'd notice I did my mane.
"Wow Flurry, you did your mane? It looks good, but why the sudden change of wanting to do it?" She asked.
"Well, last night I was thinking and then I wondered, then I was like, hmm I am going to start making my mane look good even if it is just for home." I exclaimed.
"Oh? Well it suits you sweetie, I love it." She said smiling.
"Aww, thanks mom." I said smiling back.
We ate breakfast, it was pancakes with scrambled eggs.
"Mmm, that was good, thank you mom." I said.
"Of course sweetie, anything for you." She said.
My cutiemark started flashing
"Wow? Another problem? So soon?" I said confused.
"I guess, you should go pack then go to Aunt Twilight's" Mom said.
"Ok mom." I said leaving.
I went and packed the necessities, and things I think I'd need for solving friendship problems.
"Ok mom! I'm leaving!" I said.
"You have fun Flurry, Fix that problem." Mom said.
We hugged for a moment then I teleported to Twilight's Castle.
"So Twily, where's the problem?" I asked as I teleported into a chair.
I looked around, it was me Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Starlight.
"Well, for one, nice teleportation, you've gotten better at that." Twilight said.
"I know, thanks." I said.
"Of course, now for two, the map is calling us to---"
"Of course, now for two, the map is calling us to the Changeling Kingdom." Twilight said.
"Sweet!" I said.
"Wonder who is having a friendship problem there." Pinkie said.
"I don't know, but we will figure it out and solve it." Apple Jack said.
"That's the spirit!" Rainbow Dash said.
We all grabbed our bags and left for the train and waited till it got there.
"So, Flurry? How have things been at the Empire?" Twilight asked.
"Things have been good actually, I evn did my mane even though I was planning to stay in for today." I said.
"Wow, so unlike you." She said.
"That's what mom said too." I said laughing.
The train arrives and we get onto it and then we all talk and tell stories.
"So, there I was, in the Everfree forest, about to face an angry manticore, he lifted his paw up about to slash and then all of a sudden, WHAMMM I smacked him and he ran away." Rainbow Dash said smiling.
"That simply is not true Rainbow." Rarity said.
"Pfft, how would you know?" Rainbow asked.
"We've faced a manticore before, he was friendly after Fluttershy took out a thorn that was in it's paw." Rarity said.
"Oh, yeah, I uh - forgot about that." Rainbow said.
"Haha, Rainbow's getting exposed." I said.
"Shhhh, don't tell anypony." She said.
We all laughed as we were arriving at the Changeling Kingdom.
"Welcome Pony Friends!" Thorax said flying in.
"Hey Thorax!" Twilight said.
"So, you know that map we've told you about?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, of course I remember. He said.
"Well, it has called us to here for a friendship problem that has occurred." Twilight exclaimed.
"Oh? Well good luck finding it, I have not seen any." Thorax said as he flew away.
"Ok so, we will all check the outskirts of the changeling forest then look on the insides and if I find it, I will teleport you girls to me." I said smiling.
"Alright Flurry, but you should have a partner, Fluttershy, go with her if you will."
"Oh, alright." She said shyly as she flew over to me, and we started walking to the outskirts.
It was that time of year, where Celestia holds the Grand Galloping Gala a annual royal ball held to celebrate the competition of Canterlot after Equestria was founded.
"Flurry?" Mom said trying to wake me up.
"Huh?" i wondered.
"Time to wake up, Celestia wants to speak with you sweetie." Mom said.
"Ok mom I'll be out in a minute." I said.
Mom then left the room and I brushed my mane and then made it look nice then went out to where Celestia was waiting.
"Hi Celestia." I said.
"Hello Flurry." She said.
"You wanted to speak with me?" I asked.
"Yes, I was wondering if you would like to come to Canterlot for the Grand Galloping Gala, it would mean allot to me if you and your parents were there." Celestia said.
"Sure, I'll come but I don't know if my parents can make it, they have duties here they'd need to finish, they are busy." I said.
"Oh, I see, that's fine." She said.
Celestia sounded sad and then she left to get the ball ready, I then went to find my mom, and found her in the kitchen.
"Mom?" I asked.
"Yes Flurry?" She wondered.
"Are you sure you can't come to the gala?" I asked.
"I'm sure, I'm busy taking care of an empire." She said.
"But mom, I think it hurt Celestia's feelings when I said that you wouldn't make it, she sounded sad." I said.
"Oh? I guess I can try to make it, after all she has helped me allot in the past, I would have gone nowhere without her." She said.
"Well, I am going to Canterlot, I hope you and dad can both make it." I said.
I took off and flew to Canterlot.
"Hey Flurry!" Twilight said as I flew in.
"Hey Auntie Twilly." I said.
"How's my favorite niece doing?" She asked.
"I'm great, just I don't have a good enough dress for this." I laughed nervously.
"Oh darling, of course you didn't have to ask, I came prepared for this exact situation, here's a dress for you." Rarity said as she put a gorgeous dress on me.
"Wow, how are you always prepared like this?" I wondered.
"Well, it's a designer's secret." She laughed.
"That's just Rarity being Rarity." Rainbow Dash said.
We all laughed and talked till the party starts.
"Mares and Gentle colts I welcome you all to The Grand Galloping Gala." Celestia said.
We all partied and had snacks and allot of fun and danced, my mom and dad came and made Celestia very happy.
"But I'm too shy and afraid he'll say no." I said.
I walked up to the pony I want to dance with and he was talking to his friends, I knew the pony, his name is...
Chocolate-Chip Mint, his nick name is Minty. He is a green stallion with brown hair.
"Um, H-hey Minty" I said shyly.
"Oh hey Flurry! This is my first time being at the Gala." He said.
"Really? I've been here a few times." I said.
"Mhm." He said smiling.
"So, um, do you maybe- want to dance.. with me?" I asked nervously.
"Are you kidding? Of course I will." He said laughing as he knew I was nervous.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes Flurry, I will dance with you, just one thing." He said.
"What's that?" I wondered what he was about to say.
"I don't really know how to dance, I mostly came for food, but I didn't know you'd be here too, and you asked to dance, and Flurry?" He asked.
"Hmm?" I said.
"I kind of like you, as in like like." He said blushing.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes, I would never lie to you Flurry."
"Well I like like you too." I said
We then started dancing- horribly but yet still dancing, I may have fell a few times and we may have crashed into each other once or twice but we had fun still and laughed.
"Looks like you two are having fun." Mom said walking over to us.
"We are!" Minty said smiling happily.
"See Flurry, I told you there was nothing to worry about." Mom said laughing.
"Oh? What was she worried about?" Minty asked.
"Well, she was afraid you would say no to dance with her, I had to boost her confidence." She laughed again.
"Mhm, I was nervous and shy that you'd say no." I said.
"Flurry, I am your best friend I would do anything for you!" He said hugging me.
"Aww!" Mom said.
A few hours later me and my mom and dad all went back to The Crystal Empire and I went to my room and layed down till I eventually fell asleep.
It was a rainy afternoon, and I was just getting done eating lunch.
"Flurry?" Mom asked.
"Yes mom?" I wondered.
"Would you be ok to take care of the empire while me and your dad go out tonight? It is urgent." She asked.
"Of course, mom! I can handle this." I said smiling to reassure her.
"I hope I don't regret leaving the empire in your hooves." Mom said concerned.
"You won't mom, I got this." I said happily.
A few hours later they left and I was in charge, people had to come to me for problems.
"Princess?" A guard said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"We have company, Ponies are arguing about food and causing a disturbance."
"Send them in." I said.
"Yes ma'am."
The guard left and then 2 ponies came in, appeared to be a couple, one stallion the other a mare.
"So, you two have caused a disturbance?" I asked.
"Yes, we didn't mean to, we were trying to find out what to eat for dinner, and then we started arguing about it." The stallion said,
"We meant no harm." The mare said,
"So, what was this about?" I asked.
"Well, she wanted to go all the way to ponyville to get apples and make a dinner with apples." The stallion said.
"And he wanted to just stay here and make something from in the empire." The mare said.
"Well, you both can get your way, lucky for you two I keep a stash of apples from AppleJack's farm, she sends apples all the time." I smiled.
I gave them apples and then they left after saying thank you.
"Phew, that was allot of work." I said out loud.
Mom and dad walked in.
"We're back! How were things?" Mom asked.
"The only problem there was, some ponies were arguing over what to have for dinner, one wanted to go to ponyville for apples, the other just wanted to stay in the empire, so I gave them a few apples to solve their problem." I said.
"Oh, them two are always arguing about food, almost every night."
"Wow! Well, i'm going to bed." I said.
"Good night Flurry!" Mom and Dad said.
"Night Mom, night Dad." I said.
I went up to my room and layed on my bed eventually going to sleep.
"Would you be ok to take care of the empire while me and your dad go out tonight? It is urgent." I asked.
"Of course, mom! I can handle this." She said smiling.
"I hope I don't regret leaving the empire in your hooves." I said concerned.
"You won't mom, I got this." She said happily.
A few hours later I left to go do what I had to do, I headed to Canterlot for a princess meeting about Flurry.
"Sorry, I came as soon as I could Celestia." I said.
"It's quite alright Cadence." Celestia said smiling.
"So, why'd you call this meeting?" I asked curiously.
"Well, Flurry has grown allot, we need to plan what is next, for her." She said.
"You are absolutely right Celestia." Twilight said.
"Well, what would be the next step? She was born an alicorn, brought into the Princess life, and now she is ruling the Crystal Empire with me, but today she is doing it by herself." I said wondering what is next.
"Well, we will have to see how good she is at ruling, maybe one day another castle somewhere else will come out of nowhere, kind of like Twilight's, and then she may rule her own kingdom, or maybe another kingdom we thought was lost may come back, just like The Crystal Empire did." Celestia said half joking.
"You may be right sister, but that's only a what-if, like it could happen, or it could not happen, no one knows." Luna said.
"What if for now we see how well she does with things by herself for a while, and if she does good maybe we send her some where, kinda how you sent Twilight away and she ended up making 6 great friends, and saved Equestria many times, and became a Princess." I said.
"You're right Cadence, we shall do that." Celestia said.
