Chapter 1: Party and Prophecy
All of the ponies in Ponyville were in extremely high spirits. The war between Equestria and Grifforia had recently ended and the army of ponies had prevailed over Grifforia's griffons. Finally the bitter rivalry between the two countries would officially come to an end and a truce would be formed. Soon griffons and ponies would be able to live together in perfect harmony. The longtime hatred and mistrust had ended and it would finally be replaced with friendship and understanding. The local bakery SugarCube Corner was hosting a massive party to celebrate the end of the war and the beginning of a new alliance between Equestria and Grifforia.
Gilda and Rainbow Dash decided to go onto the dance floor together for the first time in many years. It had been quite a while since either of them had danced, especially with each other. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were currently on the stage dressed in their rock band attire. The four fillies were performing a rock song which the two fliers were enjoying immensely. They danced the night away as the music played on. Gilda and Rainbow Dash were both extremely happy to be together. Their friendship had evolved into a much deeper and more beautiful relationship now that the duo had finally confessed their feelings for each other. Their many friends smiled as they watched the rainbow maned pegasus pony dance with the brown and white griffon. Seeing two of their close friends look so happy to be together warmed their hearts immensely. They knew that Rainbow Dash and Gilda would be happy for a long time.
Twilight Sparkle was sitting by herself at a table with her purple head bent over a small piece of parchment. The purple alicorn was reading it intently in an attempt to decipher its meaning. Her purple eyes moved fast as she took in all of the words that were written on the parchment before her. Twilight Sparkle liked to have a good time but this parchment had been a brand new discovery and she was very eager to figure out whatever its meaning could be. Her marefriend Trixie Lulamoon walked over to her and then she sat down at the table with her. She drank down a glass of cider and talked to Twilight Sparkle.
"Twilight." she said with a rather cute blush and smile showing on her face. "Would you like to dance with The Great and Powerful Trixie?"
"Just a minute Trixie." Twilight Sparkle told her without even looking away from her parchment. "I'm trying to figure out what this poem means."
Trixie glanced at the small bit of parchment and she could see its words clearly. She read the parchment aloud in a confused sort of voice.
"When one who's consumed by hatred and greed." she began. "Has his heart warmed in his time of need. He shall turn back into who he truly is. And happily ever after he shall live."
Trixie stared at the parchment in confusion as she tried to figure out its meaning. Eventually she shrugged and tried once again to get Twilight Sparkle to dance with her.
"I've been reading up on this and I still can't figure out what it means." Twilight Sparkle said in a frustrated tone as she reread the poem for the umpteenth time during the party, much to Trixie's displeasure.
"Twilight has anypony ever told you that you read too much?" Trixie asked her marefriend in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Actually many times." Twilight Sparkle admitted with a small blush growing on her face.
"Well they're right." Trixie said firmly as she got up from the table and took Twilight Sparkle's hoof in her own. "You need to have a bit of fun once in a while."
With that, Trixie dragged Twilight Sparkle onto the dance floor and began to dance with her. Twilight Sparkle was a bit embarrassed at first but she started to relax as she moved to the beat of the song. Trixie's purple cape flowed as she moved gracefully around the room with her marefriend. Twilight Sparkle really enjoyed the time she was spending with Trixie. Suddenly she felt something get placed on her head. She looked upwards and noticed that her purple starry hat was now perched on the top of her head and her matching cape had been wrapped around her neck. The purple alicorn was now wearing the outfit that she wore whenever she had a magic performance.
"Trixie did you do this?" Twilight Sparkle asked in an astonished voice as she continued dancing with her dark purple cape flowing behind her as she spun around.
"Trixie did." Trixie replied with a smile as she dipped Twilight Sparkle down a bit and pulled her back up to continue their dance. "You were so busy dancing with Trixie that she was able to summon your clothing here and put it on you without you noticing." A smile grew on Twilight Sparkle's face as the duo kept dancing. Trixie was definitely proud of how she had been able to get Twilight Sparkle into her stage outfit without the purple alicorn being any the wiser about what she was doing. Twilight Sparkle grinned as the duo continued to dance. The two ponies definitely enjoyed each other's company. They truly cared for each other on a very deep level.
Meanwhile Spike and Rarity were dancing together with love filled expressions on their faces. The unicorn and the dragon were blissfully unaware of the other ponies that were in the room. They only saw each other and that was all that mattered to them. The duo focused only on each other as they kept dancing to the rhythm of the song. Spike just gazed into Rarity's sapphire blue eyes with a look of admiration on his purple face. His red cape flowed behind him as Rarity stared straight into the emerald green eyes that were hidden underneath the black mask. Spike hadn't bothered to change out of his superhero costume but Rarity didn't mind. The party was informal and besides she found Spike to be quite cute when he was dressed as Hum Drum. She held his blue gloved hands in her white hooves as they moved to the beat of the song with their gazes never wavering from each other's eyes. Spike spun Rarity around a bit and the white unicorn smiled. She loved spending time with Spike and he was certainly a polite dragon. He treated her with the most respect that he could give. Rarity truly deeply loved Spike and he really loved her too. The duo kept dancing without a single care in the world.
Rainbow Dash and Gilda were dancing together and they were having the time of their lives. Normally the duo didn't care much for dancing but this was a rock song and not some classical tune so they were a lot more inclined to be on the dance floor with other ponies. The music had a fast pace that perfectly matched their personalities. The light blue pegasus and the griffon moved at such a fast pace that the other ponies in the room were giving them a wide berth out of fear of injury. Rainbow Dash and Gilda moved so rapidly and haphazardly that one could get hurt if they weren't careful. Neither of the two fliers paid any mind to the alarmed expressions on the faces of the other ponies. Both of the fliers were really getting into the song that was playing. Rainbow Dash and Gilda were in their own little world as they let the music fill their minds and danced energetically with each other. Gilda spun Rainbow Dash around and a small rainbow cyclone formed around the pegasus pony as she kept spinning. Then the rainbow maned pegasus spun Gilda around and soon enough the griffon was surrounded by a fiery cyclone. The duo finished their dance and the ponies in the room applauded enthusiastically.
While this was happening, two certain males in the room were staring at two certain females. Grayback and Psyke had their eyes locked on two female ponies in the room. Neither of them wanted to dance with the mares that they were observing. Instead they wanted to just talk with them. The duo got up from their seats and walked over towards the female ponies that they wanted to be with. The jet black griffon walked up towards Fluttershy while the bold fiery red alicorn strolled over to stand near Pinkie Pie. Grayback and Psyke asked their respective mares if they wanted to talk and to their surprise, both of the ponies accepted without any sort of hesitation. Pinkie Pie and Psyke walked out the door to talk outside while Grayback and Fluttershy went into the kitchen where there wouldn't be any ponies to see them together. What the two thieves wanted with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie was unknown.
Author's Note: Looks like things are about to get interesting. Also Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are not sharing the same OC. The only reason that they're in the same pairing is because I couldn't add OC twice.
