Me:Welcome to my story, I have recently been interested in the my little pony friendship is magic series, and I can't watch all of the episodes since I don't have hub or netflix, I relied on YouTube and I actually learned a lot, but if I miss something or mess up on info, please message me or put it in a review, I am still a noob pegasister. So let's begin.
Thank you and Enjoy!
"Celestia! Luna! Oh where are they?!"
"Good heavens, who made her wear that outfit?"
"If you can hear us, smile."
"I hope she is alive. I wonder what creature she is?"
"I hope she is alive too! I want to throw her a welcome party when she wakes up!"
"What is she?"
"Oh my, Luna get her to my room! I'll go get some aid. Hurry!"
Every nerve in my body stung to the point I wish death would come before recovery. The voices I heard around me were not of my family nor of my knowledge. I felt something soft against my back and heard frantic steps coming my way. "Luna I found something that should help. Everyone give her some air." I felt cloth like bandages wrap around my arms and a few patches on my face. "Celestia, I think she is aware of what is happening." I gritted my teeth, the bandages were soaked in some sort of medicine. It stung my cuts and scratches. "Maybe I should ask her a question. Miss, can you tell us your name?" I mustered enough strength to get passed the pain of moving my limbs. "Ju . . . . M-My name . . . . is . . . Jul . . . Julie." "Well Julie, once you are rested and healed, we can talk about what has happened. For now rest and let us help you." I fell asleep.
Every now and then I remember blurry visions of what was happening around me. I remember drinking soup, hearing someone read to me about some fiction story for children, and occasionally someone wrapping new bandages around me and give me water to drink. I fell asleep right after those moments became too hard to focus on.
"Sister how is our guest doing?"
"Her wounds have healed, but she still hasn't woken up within the week. I fear we might be losing her. Let's go get Fluttershy, it's about time for her to serve her some soup."
"I suppose some soup could help her, I'm hungry myself."
I heard the door slam and my eyes finally fluttered open. I saw a light purple ceiling. I sat up and the purple blanket covering me fell off. I examined my arms, they were barely wrapped up in the bandages, only scratches remaining. I ripped them off and stretched out my fingers. I still had control over my limbs, nothing's damage, no memory lost. I looked around the room, I was on a large enough bed to hold two horses, there were large windows, a balcony, bookshelves. Beside me were my black boots, a rather thin book, a glass of water, and an empty bowl with a spoon. I picked up the book, not remembering any of the words or tales they had read to me, and read the title. "The Legends of Elements of Harmony and the Alicorn Sisters. Okay." I opened up the book to see a picture of two winged horses, both with horns. One was white, the other dark blue, Behind each one of them was the sun and the moon. I began reading.
"In all of our world there are two rulers. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. One raises teh sun, the other the moon. Both bearing the wings of a pegasus and the horn of a unicorn, these are the alicorn sisters that rule our land in harmony.
I turned to the next page to see a picture of five hexagonal stones, all different colors, with one in the middle looking like a star.
The Elements of harmony are the most powerful force make up the most powerful force in our land, the magic of friendship. These elements have been used to defeat many of our foes and restored peace within our hearts. They are of Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, generosity, and Loyalty, along with it Magic.
I stopped reading and put the book away, I wanted to burst out laughing. "That's powerful, in traits of others, but not really I mean I know something stronger. Ha!" I chuckled as I heard something squeak. I looked to the door and saw it open. It revealed a yellow horse with a pink mane. She smiled when she saw my face. "Oh you're awake! Finally, I'm going to tell the others!" The horse ran off and I sat there in shock. "Animals don't talk, not even horses. Did I hit my head?" I heard frantic galloping erupt from the hall, then a pink horse bounced in with her mane bouncing with her. "Hello there! My name is Pinkie Pie!" The horse bounced in place as she greeted me. "Sorry about my friend, she gets excited a lot. My name is Rainbow Dash." A blue horse with a rainbow mane flew in after the pink horse. "Well howdy there Missy, finally feeling better?" An orange horse with yellow colored hair and a brown hat walked in. "My name is AppleJack." She held out a hoof for me to shake. I stared at them wide eyed. "Girls you're scaring her, sorry about that. Julie was it?" A purple horses came in next with a purple horn and pink, purple mane. The next two were the yellow horse and a white horse with a curly purple mane and a white horn. "Is she alright?" The white horse asked. "She looks as pale as a ghost." I pulled the purple blanket over me and curved up into a ball underneath.
"Horses can't talk, horses don't talk. You're just hallucinating from medicine and are just imagining things." I told myself as I felt the blanket being pulled off. "Julie we know this is a lot to take in, especially since you are a human and not a pony." 'A pony? I've gone insane!' "Animals don't talk, this can't be happening!" I hugged my knees to my chest and wanted to cry, but I couldn't risk being misjudged. "Twilight, can you please take the others outside." I looked up to see the horses from the book standing behind the group of ponies. "Yes Celestia. Come on girls." The ponies left and I was alone with the sisters from the book I read. "My name is Celestia, and this is my sister Luna. We know your name now. So Julie, do you know what brought you here?" Celestia asked me. "No, all I remember was a flash and then pain. Where am I? Am I still on the mountain?" I asked them. "You aren't in your world now, you're in Equestria. Right now your in our castle in Canterlot." I curved into a tighter ball and closed my eyes. "Julie, if you don't mind, we would like to invite you to have tea with us. It can help you calm down and we can explain some things to you." "I don't really like tea, but from what I read is that you two are the rulers of this place, am I right?" I asked them. "Yes." I sat up and took my boots. I shoved my feet into them and stood up. I was almost taller than the alicorn sisters. "Um . . . do you happen to have a bathroom I can use?" I asked them. Luna's horn glowed blue and from the other side of the room was a door. It opened to reveal tiled floor. "It's right in there." I walked toward the room and closed the door behind me. There was a large bathtub, a sink, and a large mirror. I looked into the mirror as my eyes widened in disbelief. A head piece was in my hair, it had a light purple hexagonal gem in it in the jaws of a dragon, it was more tiara like then I remembered. "I won't be needing this." I took it out of my hair and shoved it into one of my cargo pockets. I looked back up to see my dark purple hair tangled within it's ponytail, the spiky part of the ponytail limping downwards. I saw a hand brush on the side of the sink. I picked it up and started letting my hair go. "Let's get started."
Celestia and Luna had left the room with a guard ready to lead Julie to the place where Luna and Celestia were to have tea. Twilight was invited as well. She was already seated when the princesses arrived. "Hello Twilight." Celestia greeted her as she sat down along with Luna. "How is Julie doing? Where is she?" Twilight asked. "She wanted to freshen up a bit I guess, so we left a guard there to bring her here afterward. She still seems to be in a state of shock. Her walk was staggering." Luna explained to Twilight as she poured herself a cup of tea. "I wouldn't blame her, when I went through the mirror to the human's realm, I didn't see any teenagers like her, but only similar ones. And her eyes, they seemed different." Celestia took a turn in pouring some tea. She took of sip from her cup and spoke. "She should've turned to a pony when she came into our world, the only way to stay or change form is with dark magic. I hope it's not that." Twilight looked out the window to see the Canterlot streets and subjects. "But there is no one in the land with dark magic, only Sombra, but he . . . . he does not have an apprentice. All the books of dark magic have been destroyed." Twilight sipped her tea as a royal guard walked toward them with a staggering teenage girl following behind the colt. The guard left once Julie was almost beside the table holding the teapots and cups. Her hair fixed and put up into a spiky ponytail, her pale skin free of bandages, and her eyes still showing shock within them.
Julie took her seat and sat as stiff as a board. Her hands clasped around her tea cup and Luna poured her some tea. Julie brought it up to her lips and gulped it down. She placed the cup down and stared at her fingers. "Are you still . . . in disbelief?" Celestia asked Julie. "I'm in a world of talking porns, either of pegasi, unicorns, or earth ponies, all that I never seen, that has built a society, a living, and order and has castles and royalty. Image if you were suddenly shoved into my world, wounded, helpless, and confused, and then, I'm not in disbelief, but the shock is still here." Julie poured herself some more tea and drank two more cups before saying anything else. "Sorry for my manners." She left go of the tea cup and held her hands together in her lap. An awkward silence filled the room as Twilight provided the only noise of her tea cup. "You seem very nervous Julie, it's okay to relax and-" "I'm okay." Julie cut off Celestia's sentence and she stared outside. Then she finally noticed Twilight, she saw the wings. "So you too are an alicorn. May I ask what exactly is an alicorn?" Twilight's face lit up. "An alicorn is an immortal being and is all forms of pony, pegasus, unicorn and earth pony. They can perform magic, flight and and skills. They- I mean we are considered royalty since there are so few left." Julie sat back in her chair. She sighed as she poured more tea. "How many are left?" She asked Twilight. "We there is Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and myself. Twilight is my name by the way." Julie sipped her tea instead of gulping it down. She moved her bangs out of her right eye and smiled. "Can we get something to eat, I'm as hungry as a dragon." Luna smiled as she saw a cart with food arrived as if it were on cue. "It's your lucky day!" The food was placed on the table and there were sandwiches, salads, and a plate of cookies. Julie hastily grabbed a sandwich and bit into it, chewing it, swallowed it and made a face of disgust. "This tastes like wheat." Julie looked at the contents of the sandwich and to much of her surprise, there were blades of grass and a flower with lettuce. "Doesn't a sandwich usually have meat and maybe cucumbers in it?" Julie asked as she placed the food back on the plate. "Meat? Oh, Twilight said something that humans eat meat and vegetables. Here have a cookie." Celestia handed her a cookie, and she took a bite into it.
I was so hungry, the grass sandwich actually did taste good for a second, but the cookie was freshly baked, and it tasted wonderful. I practically ate the whole plate. I was starting to feel better anyways. I had to admit, I was in a whole different world, not at all similar to my home, I didn't know these ponies and I need more cookies.
I poured myself more tea and ate two more cookies. " Feeling better?" Twilight asked me. I nodded my head as I munch on my cookie. "So what do you want to do now that you're awake?" Twilight asked me. I stopped chewing my cookie and washed it down with tea. "Do you have a library?" I asked Celestia. "Oh course we do, Twilight likes to spend all of her free time there. Twilight, can show her the library?" Twilight frowned. "Sorry Celestia, after this I need to get back home with my friends. It's of good reason, Discord was left all alone in Ponyville." A serious look appeared on both the the alicorn sisters, they both nodded and Twilight left. A tense silence remained. "What's a discord?" I asked them. "We have the same animals as you do in your world, but other creatures as well. We have cockatries, timberwolves, changelings, dragons, and dragcornaqus. (A/N: Oh I hope I spelled that right. Don't hurt me!)" Celestia let Luna speak now. "Discord is a dragcornaqus, they can manipulate reality and they aren't ponies, they are a mix of creatures." "What kind of dragons are there here?" I asked them. They both were confused. "Winged dragons are the only known species, although Twilight's friend Spike is a dragon, he doesn't have wings yet." 'A dragon that doesn't have wings? But has limbs. Not the same.' "I must say, what a bold fashion look." I peered at my clothes and smiled. "Thanks, I made it myself." Luna smiled. "But why the spiky hair?" Celestia asked me. "Oh you mean my ponytail? Even if you tried to make my hair normal, it's impossible." I answered her. I grabbed the last cookie when Celestia stopped me. "Too many cookies?" I asked. She nodded.
"And here is the garden, we keep some statue here too." Celestia and Luna had lead Julie on a tour of the castle grounds. They told her that until they could actually figure out how and why she had came here, she would have to stay at the castle until further notice. She can only travel with one of the princesses outside the castle.
"Statues? We had a few of those inside my home, but they were boring." Julie told them as she saw the first statue of an armored pony with a spear. "Some are in memory, we only have one statue missing, but that's okay." Celestia told Julie as she zoned out. 'Well this is a change of pace, better than being stuck inside with colorless walls and empty voices. Here there is a garden and actually people to talk with without getting angry. I haven't told them about my home and family yet. That's what scares me.' "Julie are you listening?" Julie looked up, and she had crossed her arms and frowned. "Sorry, just thinking." As they walked on Julie noticed a spot where a statue used to stand. It's label was gone. 'I wonder what it's like being turned to stone, must be better than aging.' "So Julie, do you have any family members?" Luna asked her. "Yes, I have a wonderful mother, a strong father, and a helpful twin sister. My father is named Draco, my mother is named Juliet, and my sister is named Shadow. She got the better name." "That's what I say about Luna's name." Celestia joked as Luna hit her shoulder. "Is there magic where you come from?" Luna asked. "Well there are different kinds, there is dark magic, like witchcraft and voodoo depending on the reason of use. But there is good magic as well. There is wizardry, it's more of a strategically magic, but there is this one kind that was almost lost forever. My mother told me stories about it." Julie explained to the princesses. "Let's go inside, starting to get a bit windy." Celestia advised.
Celestia and Luna were sitting on their thrones with Julie seated in between them. As they answered letters and talked to important guests and visitors, Julie was leaning back in her chair, bored out of her mind, wanting to do something fun. Luna and Celestia were both busy writing on paper with their quills, they didn't glance at Julie. "Celestia, is there something I can do?" Julie asked. "Oh, sister look at this." The letter Celestia was holding, or levitating with her horn was passed on to Luna, who read it quickly. "Oh no, Discord caused trouble again. That means we have to patch things up. We have to visit more often.
'They ignored my question, are they that focused?' I thought as I remained in my seat. No one was arriving, and I was far enough from their line of vision. I slowly got up and walked to the side of the room to slip pass them. "Now I can find that library." I talked to myself as I entered a hallway. A few servants were walking here and there, a guard was posted at only two doors as I explored the castle. I opened doors that could've held the library, but it was just empty rooms or other things. When I did find it, my heart fluttered. So many rows,shelves, and they were of great height. "Finally! Maybe I can do my own research." I looked at the spines of the books, to try and find anything on magic or maybe a spell. I found something and opened the book up at a nearby desk. "Okay, hopefully this is easy to read. If they understand english, then they must write in it." I skimmed through the book, nothing good. I put the book back and grabbed another. A book of elements or something. I kept on searching and searching, by the time I had gone through the whole library, I saw that the moon has risen. "They should've found me by now." I told myself as I skimmed another useless book. I was just bored now, so I was looking at recipe books. "Miss Julie." I turned around to see a pony in golden armor. "I'm here to take you to your chamber." "They gave me my own room? Well okay." 'Great,no more books.'
I followed the guard to a door that had been painted purple. Wasn't surprised, it's easy to guess my favorite color. I opened the door and saw Celestia and Luna waiting for me. "Since you are to stay here in the castle, we decided that since you ran off to the library, we took the time to get a spare room for you. Do you like it?" Celestia asked. It had a dark purple rug in the center of the room, a bathroom, and it had huge windows that opened. There was a bed to the corner. "It's not as boring as my old room. It seemed to always be dark. But this is too kind of you, I only meet this world today and I'm still in shock. But thank you for trying to get me to smile instead of think. I really do like this room though." I must admit, they seem like they want to be my friends. "Well good night Julie." They both left me alone. I flopped onto the bed and smiled. "Sleep sounds good right now." I looked up at the window, and saw a full moon. "But tonight is a good night to go for a walk." I stood up and opened a window and climbed out to sit on the ledge. "Or maybe I should try some tricks."
"Sister, do you think there is a way to take the human home?" Luna asked her sister as they walked toward their rooms. "We could use the mirror, but it hasn't been working. We can also try a spell or something, but the hope is still here. Did you see that crown on her though?" Celestia asked Luna. "It had a strange gem on it, in it. It looked like something I've seen before. She still hasn't really told us much. She's still silent about this whole situation." Luna looked out the window, to see tiny sparkles within the sky. "Luna, since when did you put purple circles for the shooting stars?" They both stopped by a window and peered out the window. In the distance, gently floating downward, little tiny purple circles flew about. After a little while, the circles turned into triangles and squares. "That's strange. It's falling like snow, but it's purple." Celestia stated as Luna tapped the window. "Someone isn't asleep. That person is actually liking my night, not ignoring it! But what are those things?" Luna's excitement turning into confusion. "Everyone in the castle should be asleep by now, except Julie." A look went between the sisters and they walked back to Julie's room.
"Let's see, a snowflake." Julie held up a very thin purple carved snowflake and threw it out the window, catching great distance. "Beautiful! I should make new designs." Julie held up another circle, tapped on it, and it turned into a hexagon with stars punched into it. Julie threw it out the window and smiled as it fell. All of the designs she had thrown had disappeared due to her lost in focus, but she kept focus on the newest design. "Julie?" Her head shot toward the door. "Oops." Julie gently closed the window, and walked to the door. She put on a tired expression and yawned for preparation. She opened the door and stared up at the tall white pony. "Hey Celestia, you still up?" Julie asked. "Yes, were you asleep?" Celestia asked. "I was, after reading all those books I guess it made me tired. As soon as I fell on the bed I fell asleep. When I heard your voice it woke me up." Julie looked back at her bed, looking at it sleepily. "Okay, I was just wondering. Good night." Without a second to waste Julie closed the door and took off her boots. "I really don't want to sleep, but I can't do anymore tricks." Julie fell backwards and the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "No arguments today, no father to bug me or anything. Oh this felt like a dream, but when I wake up, I know I'm going to be back. But this place isn't such a bore. Goodbye Equestria." Julie closed her eyes and curled up into a ball. "See ya never."
"Why did I wake up so early? I feel like the walking dead." I complained as I glared at the window. "Is it pale dark blue or fading black? It's not even dawn!" I groaned as I fell toward the window. My palms stopped my head from shattering the glass, and I yawned. 'At least this wasn't all fake, but I can't go home because this is reality now I guess. Thank god.' I smiled as I opened the window. The cool breeze greeted me as I sat on the ledge. My socks dangling outside and touching the castle walls. I let go of the ledge and rubbed both my eyes. I wasn't afraid of falling. "No one should be out and about. A nice fly by around the gardens should wake me up." I turned around and pushed myself out the window. I grabbed the ledge before I could fall to the ground completely. "And for my final trick, I shall let go!" I pushed myself away from the castle, and let gravity let me go.
Celestia had woken up early, it was almost time to raise the sun. One hour to go, might as well wake up now. "*yawns* What time is it? Not time for down yet." Celestia looked out her window and at the full moon. "I wish I did not have to ruin my sister's precious night with the sun. Oh well." She looked down and frowned. In the moon's light, the room was lit up. For a split second the light disappeared. Celestia looked to the moon and saw something fly by. Celestia opened the balcony door she had, and walked outside. She saw the shadow flying away at great speed. "Intruder. Might as well catch him myself." Her wings spread out and she took to the air, and followed the shadow.
She ended up flying around the castle several times, up and down, between trees, through the labyrinth, twice. The shadow was still flying ahead of Celestia, at a speed she could not fly at. "I'm never gonna catch up!" Celestia admitted. As if by her words the shadow fly up and stopped, only hovered over the gardens. Celestia flew behind the intruder, far enough not to be sensed. "You! Why are you here!?" Celestia shouted at the intruder. The intruder turned around and gasped. "Who are you!" Celestia asked sternly. The intruder had a large wingspan, longer then Celestia's wings. The intruder fly backwards slowly, then all at once stopped flapping it's wings and fell. "You're not going to get away!" Celestia flew after. When the intruder was low to the ground it's wings opened up and caught the wind. Celestia caught by surprise, the intruder flew upwards and then went straight to the castle again. Celestia chased after.
Celestia had grown irritable for chasing the intruder for so long, she eventually stopped at her balcony to raise the sun quickly, and then waited. "Why didn't I do this ages ago." Celestia's horn glowed gold and in the split second the intruder flew by, her horn let out a blast, hitting the intruder and struck it down. "Caught you." Celestia flew down to the garden and searched for the intruder. Nothing, not a broken branch, or fallen green leaves, not even crushed grass. "How?" Celestia asked herself.
Celestia started her day along with Luna with having breakfast. They sent a guard to fetch Julie to join them. Celestia told Luna about what had happened before she risen the sun. "Are you sure you hit the intruder?" Luna asked her. "I hit him, it should've wounded him as well. But I saw the intruder fall, but nothing was on the ground when I searched. Strange isn't it?" They heard footsteps echo, they saw Julie with an aweful expression. She was holding her arm as if it ached. "Good morning Julie, are you feeling okay?" Julie took her seat and glared at the table. "Just hurting a bit, didn't wake up on the right side I guess." Julie chuckled before she started eating her breakfast. "Did you know there was an intruder on the castle grounds. Celestia shot him down, but he's missing. Keep an eye out for somepony suspicious." Luna advised Julie as she had let her arm fall. A slight red gash was in her arm, she had failed to hide it. "I had to use a spell to take him down, one that might of caused wounds." Celestia stared at Julie as she covered her arm again. "Hey Celestia, until you and Luna find a way to get me home, I need something to do. I can't stand or sit around doing nothing but listening and watching you two work." Julie said to them as she munched on her food. "Sure, we'll make you a mare in waiting I suppose. Oh, I mean a lady in waiting." "No I don't want to be labeled as next in line, I don't. Can I just help you with your work?" Julie asked. "Yes you can, just don't keep secrets from us from the letters." Celestia told Julie as she smiled. "Okay." Julie went on eating her breakfast.
As Luna and Celestia granted, Julie had started to help them with their work. Often confused on some of the words the letters had, and grew nervous around the other ponies. She only trusted the princesses, and she liked to be around them more than regular subjects. Only a week has gone by when Celestia had first encountered the intruder, but she had a hunch who the pony was.
Today the mane six were visiting once again, this time with Spike and another.
"Wait, you mean the first ponies I met are coming back? What's the occasion?" Julie had asked Luna during one of their chats. "The grand galloping gala is going to be coming up not too long from now. So they decided to come early this year." Luna answered. "Is that a ball or a party?" Julie questioned. "Both. But I'm a little scared this year, they are bringing a dragcornqus this year, and this specific one isn't easy to get along with." Julie didn't read much on that type of species, but she only remembered the image and name. "I will like you to greet them when they enter the castle. I'll go get them." "Wait! There here already!" Julie shifted in her seat as Luna stood up from her throne. "Yes, they just need to gather their things and Julie, they are bringing the elements of harmony. Be sure to ask them about it." Luna left Julie with Celestia. " I know you are still in disbelief that this world may exist, just make of it what you will." Celestia then opened up another letter. "Great, more complaints about Discord from Ponyville." Celestia picked up a quill and started writing a return letter when Julie sighed. "Spike is a dragon, am I correct?" Julie asked. "Yes he is." A small smile appeared on her face. "Well at least I'll meet someone similar." Julie mumbled under her breath as she waited.
Some Time Later . . . .
I saw Luna first walk in, then Twilight, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy I think her name was, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. I remained seat and I so wanted to disappear. "Girls, you remember Julie right?" They nodded their heads. "So that's the human you were talking about, cool." As they approach the thrones more and more I saw the little dragon. Purple scales with green sails on his back from head to tail. 'Looks like a normal dragon, no wings though.' "Hi Julie, it's nice to see you again." Twilight greeted me. "It's nice to see you again too Twilight. And I remember the rest of you. I thought there was going to be someone else accompanying you?" I asked. A nervous look appeared on their faces. "Discord had some trouble, he'll be here soon." Fluttershy answered me. "Did somepony say my name!?" A male voice echoed from somewhere. Then a creature appeared in front of me. Long antlers, one fang, a lions paw and an eagles body and claw, with a reptile like foot and a horse's as well. "Oh! Is this the human you all had been telling me about! My she looks different than I expected." I flinched at his voice, and he was too close to my face, he was literally in my face. "Excuse me, but Discord. I do not like you being this close to my face. If you do not mind moving away a little I would like that." I said to Discord, still not trying to run away. "Fine, can't believe you princess already reformed her into a priss." 'I think that struck a nerve.' "I am no priss sir, blame my father for this." Discord let out a chuckle as he stood with the others. "Thank you all for visiting early, we've already prepared your rooms and you can go and unpack now." They all nodded and walked away.
"Is that how Discord always is?" I asked Luna. "Unfortunately yes, he is always like this." Celestia told Julie. "Julie you can go now, Celestia has the last letter today and might was well go socialize with the others." I faked a smile and got up from my seat. 'I don't want to socialize, I just want to be locked in my room.'
'They just had to put their rooms near mine.' I walked silently as I heard their voice in Twilight's room. She was three doors away from my room. "Oh honestly Twilight, just calm down. Even is Discord were to act up here the Princesses now what to do." Must be Applejack talking. "It's not that, Julie didn't seem to like Discord. I think it might be trouble if we don't keep an eye on him." Discord's room was a door away from mine. His was closed, thank goodness. I quickly opened the door to mine and closed it. "The more ponies that come here the more shaken I become. Maybe I just need something calm to do." I sat at a small table that was in my room. I pulled out a piece of paper and a then it occurred to me, I only had quills, no pencils. "Dammit, I can't draw with ink! What can I do now?" I heard a knock at my door. 'No, someone heard me cuss. This world is just too sugary for it.' I got up from my chair and went over to the door. "Who is it?" I asked. "I heard you shout something, are you okay?" I couldn't tell who was talking, maybe a guard. A few were starting to remember my name. "Yeah, I just a bit ticked off. Can't find a pencil." I heard a snap, and then a cartoony poof. "You can borrow one from me." I turned around to a pencil was shoved into my face. It frightened me and I fell backwards, hitting the door. "You okay?" The pencil went away, and I saw Discord's smiling face. "How did you get in here?!" I asked him in a panic. "I'm the spirit of chaos and disharmony, I can bend reality. Teleport, create things, and almost anything else." 'A creature that can bend reality? Celestia didn't say anything about that.' "Thank you for the pencil, can you please go now." I grabbed the pencil out of his lion paw and opened the door. "Leave now? Ever since Twilight told me about a human that hasn't turned into a pony was here I want to get to know this person!" I glared at the floor. 'Stubborn as a mule, what am I saying his neck and head looks like part of a donkey! Just get rid of him.' "I don't really want company right now, I'm still getting use to this world and everything and I only trust the princesses and I barely met anyone- I mean anypony and I will catch up with you later." I looked up and he wasn't listening. He was floating around my room and was staring at my nightstand. He picked up something shiny, my headpiece. "Dragon jaws holding a gem, nice design, if I'm wrong this does look like an element, almost like Rarity's color but it's lighter." I plucked the headpiece out of his hands, grabbed his neck and dragged him into the hall. "I said I do not wish to have company. Thank for the pencil and I will speak with you later, but until then my room is off limits." I glared at him and shut the door on him. I growled as I clutched the pencil. "At least he isn't as persistent as my father." I went back to my piece of paper, and as I sat down, letters flashed on the paper.
Sorry
Just one word, sorry. "Much kinder too." I flipped the paper over and stared at it. "I'll figure out something to draw." I tapped the pencil against the table's surface and something flashed in my head. "Maybe this could be good." The image stayed in my head as I jotted down lines and curves, this picture was going to be different, but well drawn. "A Shadow's Smile, that's what I'll call it!" I smiled as I sketched.
It was about time for dinner, they had brought out the long table and that meant a feast of greatness. Twilight and the others were already seated, along with the princesses, and Discord had to sit by FlutterShy, still couldn't take the risk. The only one who wasn't present, was Julie. "I'm hungry." Pinkie complained. "I wonder what's taking Julie so long, she never is late for anything." Luna frowned. "I'll go get her Celestia, maybe she took a nap." "Wasn't she spending time with all of you, I told her to socialize a bit." Celestia said to Twilight and the others. "No, only Discord saw her and she didn't want company in her room either. I'll be right back." Twilight took off down the hallway, and went searching for Julie's room. When she found it, Julie had opened the door with a piece of paper in hand. "There you are! It's time for dinner and your late!" Twilight told Julie. "Oh sorry, I was so focused on drawing something that I lost track of time. Celestia told me to hang out with you guys, but to say I'm sorry I guess you'll be the first one to see my picture." Julie hung the paper in front of Twilight, and her eyes widened. "Julie, do you know anything about the crystal empire?" Twilight asked. "Crystal Empire, no. I didn't see anything about that in the library. Why?" Julie asked. She looked at her picture. "This doesn't have any crystal, or gems in it at all, it's just a shadow." Julie peered at it with satisfaction. It was of a dark shaded shadow with two eyes within it, both green and purple, and a fang smile underneath. "I call it a shadow's smile, it just popped into my head all of a sudden and I drew it. I don't know where I got the idea from thou-" "That is not just a shadow, I've seen it before! Come on." Twilight took the drawing and ran off, Julie followed.
"Maybe she is dressing fancy. This is a feast, might as well dress for the importance." Discord suggested. They all had started guessing why Julie was late, turned into a game to see who could make up the funniest one. "If she is then I can dress up too!" Discord snapped his fingers and a tux appeared on him. "Julie appears that she doesn't like fancy things, she only wears that one outfit, camo isn't flattering." Rarity told them. "Hey! Camo is great for any day of the week, and plus nothing else suits me." Julie's voice boomed through the room as she walked in. Twilight ran to Celestia. "Julie drew this, she said it just popped into her head and she doesn't know anything about the crystal empire! Here." Twilight gave Celestia the picture and Luna saw the picture as well. "Sombra . . ." Celestia let the picture fall down as she stared at Julie. "What?" Julie questioned. "You drew Sombra, an evil Unicorn king that had ruled the crystal empire a thousand years ago. We had thought we finished him off, you drew him even without knowing about him." Julie took her seat, she sat beside Luna. "Why is he evil? He had magic right- wait, in this world there is dark magic? This place is too sweet and sugary to have that evil form! No way no how!" Julie found her picture on the floor and stared at it. "If he is no more, than why did the image appear in my head? I wouldn't think of this, I would draw shadows, but the kind my sister tells me. Not the ones of darkness." Julie shrunk in her chair, she frowned and covered her eyes. "Julie, everything is going to be okay. It could just be something you made up out of the blue while not knowing." Luna tried to comfort her, but she was lying to herself. Out of nowhere, Julie's stomach growled. "I haven't eaten much, I'm starved." Julie looked at the food on her plate. She picked up her fork and picked up a carrot. "Let's just eat and forget." Julie bit the carrot and swallowed it almost instantly. Everyone digged in, but worry did not leave their minds.
