Prologue: The Unhappy Birthday

Fluttershy's POV

As Fluttershy slept she heard little feet and silent whispers. 'What in Equestria are they doing?' She thought. All of a sudden she was startled by three excited fillies jumping on the bed or floor. She heard a yelp. Giggling she sat up and looked over the side to see her husband, Discord, on the ground. " it's too early for this." With that he snapped his finger and Mara,a yellow Pegasus with curly pink and white hair disappeared.

His magic had failed hi for the eldest, Eris and the youngest who was about two,Zaney, had his powers and a strong resistance to his very own. Suddenly Mara came bursting through the door. She jumped back on the bed and jumped in circles. "It's Auntie Twilight's wedding and it's my birthday!" She said with much excitement.'I thought they would wake up early.' Fluttershy then said " we know sweetie. We'd never forget your birthday." Discord popped his head up "it's still too early." He grumbled.

"Discord!" Fluttershy yelped disapprovingly." I know Licity, I was teasing. Happy birthday love, presents in the living room." He replyed. Eris Then poofed out of the room with Zaney, causing Mara to jump off the bed and run out the room."we had better go down stairs." Discord said, kissing Fluttershy's fore head.

... At the wedding

'How much longer is this going to last? My feet are starting to get tired.' To Mara being a flower girl was really fun but the 2 hours was really pushing it.

For no apparent reason Twilight's dress train turned a mucky brown color at the edges. Mara knew that her little brother ,who was being held by her mother, had done it. Mara stifled a laugh. Eris shot her an icey glare and steped on Mara's hoof. It really hurt and throbbed but all she did was motion towards Twilight to Mara's delight Eris turned the dress back to normal.

Soon it was time for Twilight to through the bouquet. When she did everyone heard someone's magic catch it. Suddenly everyone gasped. All Mara could see was two dark shadows. She didn't understand what threat shadows posed.

Princess Cadence pulled out her husband's sword and jerked her daughter, Skyla, back. " Be gone, Chrysalis and Sombra! You aren't wanted here!" Mara then felt a talon on her shoulder, which pulled her back.

Mara looked up and saw that her father had done it. She seemed to be in the safety of her family." You can't hurt shadows." Chrysalis said wickedly.

"Besides, we came with a gift to bestow on the newly weds" Sombra drifted over to Mara and continued, "and the birthday girl."

Discord and Fluttershy pulled her in closer. Sombra then said, as Chrysalis floated in closer. "How old did you turn? Let me guess, eight years old?"

More people gasped.'How do these villains know how old I turned today?' Mara wondered. Chrysalis sneered with the same wicked voice." Who knew that the king of chaos himself would ever fall for Eqeustria's wimpiest pony!"

Zaney's face changed into one of what looked to be anger." You is a mean meanie pants!"

Fluttershy only pulled him closer to her body as Sombra created a very rude face." Leave them alone!" Discord snapped his fingers, turning Sombra's mane into flowers. Sombra shook his head in attempt to get back his normal mane.

Mara couldn't believe it when suddenly the villains disappeared. Their voices echoed through the entire ball room. " We are sick of all these happy endings! From now on only we get them! Henceforth there will be no more happiness!"

Then it was all over. Every one scrambled around trying to leave. "Worst birthday ever." Mara muttered under her breath. A single tear managed to escape. It slid down her check until it landed on the ground with a splat. Mara stared at it for a moment until her parents slowly ushered her along.

Mara looked back at that tear, wondering what the curse had in store.

A/N so should I continue?
