Fenrir:shut up leon
william:if we made any mistakes please tell us
"Where are we going again Draco?" A gray unicorn stallion asked an indigo pegasus stallion with a white mane. Draco hit him. "Ow! Stop hitting me!"
"Your iq is over 200 yet you can't remember a simple mission? It's an embarrassment to be your friend, Wisehoof ." Draco told him.
"So you're my friend?" Wisehoof asked with a grin on his face.
"I don't even know why i try." Draco said under his breath.
"Again, where are we going?" Wisehoof asked again.
Draco sighed. "We're going to the ponyville library to meet a pony named Twilight Sparkle who is the student of princess Celestia, who we need to somehow contact and tell her Sky is coming to visit."
"And how do you propose we find out where the library is?" Wisehoof asked.
"Why, that's obvious." Draco replied. "We simply ask somepony where her residence is."
"Yeah, you do that, and i'm gonna go take a nap."
A pure black earth pony tapped his shoulder and motioned his hoof in the direction they were heading before Draco and Wisehoof started bickering. Wisehoof looked where silent night was pointing and saw a sign that said welcome to ponyville. "mission begin." Wisehoof said.
Wisehoof's pov
About halfway through the town the town we met a nice white-coated mare with an indigo mane who told us where to find the library. She introduced herself as Rarity, the towns fashion designer. At the mention of the words fashion designer she and Draco instantly hit it off while talking about clothes or something, I don't know. Draco told me to go on ahead, which I gladly did as i getting extremely bored. I didn't even notice si was gone until i looked around 5 minutes later. Sometimes he just dissappears and you don't even know if he's there or not until you nearly piss yourself when he pops out of the shadows. I walked up to a lavender-coated mare and asked her if she knew where the library was.
"Of course." She told me. "I am the librarian after all."
"Wait, so you"re Twilight Sparkle?" I asked her.
"Yes." She replied.
"How do you know my name?" She asked me suspiciously.
"I was sent here to find you by a friend of mine. he told me that you could send a letter to the princess."
"Yes, I can send it but why should I trust you?"
"You shouldn't." I told her. "For all you know I could be slendermane."
She scoffed. "Oh, please. slendermane is just a myth."
"Actually he's real. He just wanted 20 bits to buy a ticket to the Wonderbolts for his son. He says he has no idea where people are getting all this 'following ponies through the woods' thing." I informed her. By the way, my names Wisehoof." I held out a hoof."So can you send the letter or not?
She smiled at me. "Sure."
library
When we entered the library, I saw silent night sitting on the floor reading a book about shadows.
"How the hell did you get here before I did?" I asked him. He just stared at me blankly. "Oh, yeah. The mute thing. Sorry."
"Who's this?" Twilight asked.
"This is silent night. He's my friend and he can't talk because he's mute." I answered. Si went back to reading the book. "So how do I send the letter?"
"Spike!" Twilight yelled up the stairs.
"Coming, Twilight!" A voice yelled back. A few seconds later, a purple and green dragon who I assumed was spike. " Yeah, Twilight."
"Spike, I need to send a letter to the princess."
"Sure, Twilight."Spike grabbed the letter and set it on fire with his dragon flame.
"Whoa, what are you doing!" I shouted.
Twilight and Spike laughed. "It's how we send our letters to the princess." "Spike is able send and receive letters from anypony in equestria." Spike burped green flame and a letter with a royal seal appeared. "Ah-hem." Twilight cleared her throat and began to read. "My most faithful student Twilight Sparkle. Make sure Wisehoof does not leave your sight. I will be there shortly. Signed, Princess Celestia." Twilight rolled up the scroll and put it on a nearby table. "I wonder why the princess wants me to keep you here?" Twilight pondered.
Suddenly, there was a blast of bright light and the majestic figure of princess celestia appeared. "Hello, Wisehoof. Long time no see."
"You know him?" Twilight asked.
"Indeed, Twilight Sparkle. In fact, you know him very well."
"What do you mean, princess?"
Before celestia could answer, a pink blur broke the down and tackled Twilight. It turned out to be a pink earth pony mare with a really poofy mane. "Pinkie! What are you doing? The princess is here!"
"Twilight, we have more important things to do. It's a party emergency! There are three new ponies in town and I only have a few hours to plan their party! I need your magic to help me!" Then she noticed me and silent night.
"Hi." I said.
She gasped and ran off taking twilight with her. Celestia laughed and looked at me. "so when is Sky coming?" she asked with a bit of excitement in her voice.
"He should be here around noon. He and talon prefer to walk."
The pink blur reappeared and disappeared just as fast but she took spike with her this time. "I will alert Luna that he is coming. She will excited to see him again." With that princess celestia teleported back to her palace.
Twilight burst in with pinkie a few seconds later. "Is the princess still here?"
I shook my head. She sighed. "oh, well. I guess i'll talk to her later."
"She'll be here again in a few hours." I told her.
Her ears perked up at this. "Really?" I nodded. "Why?"
"Sky will be arriving in a few hours."
"That doesn't even make any sense." Twilight said confused.
"Yay!" pinkie shouted. "Master Sky is visiting! Sorry you two, but your party is going to have to wait. I have to plan the biggest party ever for master." She gasped. "I better get started!" She ran out the door.
"We have a couple hours to kill, what do you want to do?" I asked Twilight.
"Yes. I want to know what the princess meant when she said i know you."
"Its probably my pen name. Most ponies know me as Starswirl the bearded."
She looked at me with surprise and said, "That's impossible! Starswirl lived over 1000 years ago. And you don't even have have a beard."
I sighed. "Nopony's ever gonna let me live that beard thing down are they?"
Before Twilight could ask anymore questions, celestia blinded me with another burst of light. The princess walked towards us with luna in tow. "Hello, Twilight Sparkle. And long time no see Swirly." luna greeted us with a smile on her face.
"Oh, shit." I muttered.
celestia smiled at me. "I forgot about that nickname. And Twilight, the reason swirly here is still alive is because he is the only immortal unicorn." Luna turned to us. "Come, Twilight Sparkle and Swirly, we will go greet sky when he arrives." Luna an Celestia teleported somewhere.
As we left the library Twilight began asking me more questions. "how are you immortal? you're not even an alicorn!"
"You don't have to be an alicorn to be immortal, Twilight." I informed her. "I just found the immortality spell and used it on me and a few friends."
"Speaking of your friends where did silent night go?"
I looked behind us and saw that she was right. "We'll see him later. He disappears every now and then."
"that's weird." Twilight muttered. "So you're really Starswirl the bearded?"
"Of course. Didn't you hear what the princess called me." Twilight looked at me with a quizzical expression on her face. "But isn't a swirly the act of shoving someponys face into a toilet and, Oh I get it now." She started laughing.
"Yeah, yeah. Get it all out of you system."
She couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes. She looked at me seriously. "So can you teach me the immortality spell?"
"Sure. It's not that hard to learn it."
At this, she got really excited. "When can you teach it to me?"
"Probably tomorrow." I answered.
"I can't wait!" This is going to be a long day.
When we arrived at the clearing the clearing that Sky would arrive at, I had already had to explain a few of my spells to Twilight and I was getting really annoyed at her. "Twilight, i'm not to explain how time works. It would literally blow your head up. I don't feel like cleaning up the paradoxes again."
"What do you mean, again?"
I ignored the question and pointed a hoof forward. "Look, we're here." At the clearing I saw Draco, Rarity, silent night, and a grey pegasus mare who was sharing muffins with si. Before i could make fun of him, the pink blur known as pinkie pie came into the clearing with a picnic blanket and two picnic baskets.
"Here." she handed me a picnic basket. "Share this with everypony."
"You know you have another picnic basket, right." Twilight told her.
Pinkie looked at her with shock. "I can't share this one. It goes to master Sky."
Twilight was about to voice another question when the princesses appeared. Luna looked at Twilight. "What time is it, Twilight?"
"About five till." She answered.
Spike showed up a few minutes later. "How could you guys leave me behind? I oughta..." Spike stopped talking as he noticed Draco with Rarity, And I could hear a loud noise much like when somepony pulls the tablecloth off a table with glass dishes and fails.
There was a rustling, and a small yellow and green female dragon that i recognized as Talon, Sky's assistant. "Sorry we're late, the idiot caught caught in quicksand." Talon said.
I looked over at Spike and his eyes were hearts. Well, he got over Rarity fast, I thought. There was more rustling and a blue alicorn with a silver mane stepped out. I recognized him instantly. It was Sky.
