1. The Summer Sun Check Up

'...I personaly don't know HOW this happened...but it did...oh well...I can handle myself pretty well...Big day tommorrow...what was it again..? Oh, yea the Summer Sun Celebration...or...somethin' on dat line...supposed to be the longest day...or was it night...I forgot...oh well...get up Shot...' I pulled my face from the pillow, cracks going down and up my spine...I quite literaly dragged my hoofs to the bathroom and looked into the mirror...My light Aquamarine coat and Grey mane didn't change color, yet...I'm still young...the Mint-Green eyes of the reflection have lost their sparkle and shine a long time ago...and my Cutie mark, A Bow and Arrow...still adorned my flank...I sighed, gave my wings a flap to wake them up and did the usual, everyday; Brush, shower, towel, door...after having hay-cakes for breakfast and putting on my cyan baseball cap and Saddlebags, I opened the door, the hinges squeaking with the lack of use...took a step outside, and took a deep breath...the fresh air supling the energy that I needed...I shook my head and started to walk towards town hall to get the latest intel on weather and events...on the way, a royal carrage, transporting a purple unicorn and a young dragon touched down...

"Thank you, sirs!" The unicorn said to the pegasui pulling the carrage...

"Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about!" The dragon said...the unicorn have him a uncomfortable look...Pinkie...or...what her name was walked up to them, but didn't seem to knowtice...she seemed idle, standing infront of the pair... "C'mon Twilight, just try!"

"...Umm...Hi?" the pink pony jumped up, let out a big gasp, before dashing off to who knows where... "Well that was interesting alright..." The dragon just gave out a defeated sigh and the two started to walk off...I just shrugged and moved on...


After grabbing the news and giving it a quick run over, I just stuffed into my saddlebags and turned around to see the pair again...this time, the dragon holding a list of sorts...and Twilight...looking a bit stuffed...

"[groan] I ate too much pie..."

"There was supposed to be a pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds..." the dragon said looking up to the slightly clouded sky...Twilgiht also did the same...

"Well, She's not doing a very good job, is she..?" A rainbow blur rushed past me and rammed into Twilight, sending both into a mud puddle...the Rainbow maned pony got up first...and had a bit of a chuckle...Twilight, let out a annoyied groan...

"Excuse me? [laughter] Lemme help you!" She flew up to a rain cloud, bringing it down to a lower hight, before jumping on it multiple times, causing Twilgiht to be caught in a small shower... "[Laughter] Oops, I-I guess I over did it...Umm...uh, How about this; My very own, patented, RainBlow Dry!" The Cyan pony flew circles around Twilight, a mini-Rainado (A Rainbow Tornado) came and went, revealing a poofy-maned unicorn...The Cyan Pegasus had her eyes closed as she deccended to ground level... "No, no, Don't thank me, your quite welcome..." She opened her eyes and tried to contain her laughter but...she failed, having a strong laughing fit, the dragon joining her...

"Let me guess...Your Rainbow Dash?" Twilgith asked, the mare in question jumped up imidiately...

"The one and only, Why, ya heard a' me?" She flew right into Twilgihts face with a wide grin...

"I heard your supposed to be keeping the sky clear! [Sigh] I'm Twilgiht Sparkle, and the princess sent me to check on the weather" ...Is it THAT important for the Princess to be fussing over the weather?

"Yea, yea That'll be a snap, I'll do in a juffy, just as soon as I'm done practicing..."

"Practicing for what?"

"The Wonderbolts!" She pointed at a poster, claming their appearance... "Their gonna perform at the celebration tommorrow, And I'm gonna show em' my stuff!"

"The Wonderbolts?" Twilgiht asked

"Yup!"

"The most talented fliers in all of Equestria?"

"That's them!"

"Pfft, Please, They'd never accept a pegasus who can't keep the sky clear for one measly day!" Rainbow Dash have Twilight a annoyied look...

"Hey, I can clear this sky, In ten seconds flat!" Twilight put on a challanging face...

"Prove it.." Rainbow have a face, signaling her acceptance in the chalange and took off, destorying clouds left and right, up and down... after a brief wait, because I never bothered to count, she had already cleared the sky...

"What did I say? Ten. Seconds. Flat. I'd never leave Ponyville hangin'!" Twilight, her Dragon sat there, jaw dropped... "[laughter] You should see the look on your face, Your a laugh Twilgiht Sparkle, I can't wait to hang out some more!" and With that, she took off...

"Wow...She's amazing!" The dragon said, then giggled when he batted Twilight's mane around, Twilight only gave a annoyied sigh...and started to walk off... "Wait! It's kinda cute once you get used to it!" Both walked into the town hall...The pink pony that I saw earlier today suddenly popped out of a bush, her eyes closed, handed me a letter and dissapeared back into the bush she popped out of...I opened the letter...a invitation to...a...'Welcome to Ponyville' Party? Might as well go...Have nothin' else going on today...


We all waited in the dark of the library...Apparently this was a suprise party...The door opened and a yellow pegasus flew in with that one Dragon...then Twilight came in, grabbed the dragon and pushed the pegasus out...

"Yes, yes, We'll get right on that, well good night!" the door slammed, rendering the place to become dark again...

"Rude much?" The dragon asked...

"Sorry Spike, But I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study with out a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time! Now, where's the light?" The lights snapped on...

"SUPRISE!" Everypony shouted, I didn't even open my mouth...you could call me anti-socal... Both jumped, and looked around, Twilight moaning in disgust...The pink pony that gave me the invite popped up infront of them...

"Suprise! Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you suprised? Were ya, were ya, Huh, huh, huh?" She bounced up and down in exitement...

"Very Suprised, Libraries were supposed to be quiet!"

"Huh, That's silly, what kind of Welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, Duh, Booooring! You see, I saw ya when you first got here, remember? you were all 'Hello!' and I was all '[gasp]', Remember? You see, I never saw you before, and if I never saw ya before that means your new! cause I know everypony, and I mean Everypony in Ponyville! and if your new, and that you haven't meat anypony yet, and if you haven't meet anypony yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that would make me so sad and I had a idea, and that's why I went [gasp] I'll just throw a great, ginormus, super, spectacular welcome party, and invite everypony in ponyville! see? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" Twilight mean while had taken a sip from a unknown beverage...she turned around, sweaty and cheeks red...then erupted into a fury of flames before running upstairs...

"Aww, she's so happy, she's crying!"...Spike walked over the the container and read the label...

"Hot sauce..." Pinkie tipped the container over, causing a cupcake to be covered in the substance...Pinkie then ate it...reciving odd looks from the others around her...

"What? It's good!" I walked over the the table and grabbed myself a soda...when Pinkie saw me...

"OH! Another new pony! When didja get here? huh, huh, huh?"

"Umm...I lived in the southern outskirts a' Ponyville for about 2 months now..." I said trying to avoid a conversation... Pinkie jsut gave me a odd look while a orange earth pony seemed to reconize me...

"Wait...I saw ya a couple times at my apple cart! always bought a set a' 25 apples! Name's Applejack!" I gave her a small wave before having Dash fly up to my face...

"I saw ya too! You were with Twilight when she tried to get me to clear the clouds BEFORE I was done practicing!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything!"

"Still! You were there!" A White unicorn came into the conversation...

"Sorry, Rainbow Dash is quite..err...uncouth at times...but, my, Your mane is so dull! and that cap just seems to ruin your fasion sense!" She snached the cap off...

"HEY! Gimme dat back! It was My Sister's!" She stopped...

"WAS your sister's?" I didn't like to talk about this...

"She's gone, alright? now wouldja kindly gimme my hat back?" She handed it to me with a sorry expression...

"I'm so sorry, dear, whatever happened?" I just looked away, trying to tell her she hit a nerve...hard...The yellow pegasus that I saw earlier came up to me...

"Oh, you poor thing..." I just look a deep breath in and out...

"Ah, It's nothin'" She turned to the fasionista...

"Rarity, you should be more careful with him..."

"I know, Fluttershy, but what is your name?"

"Name's Long Shot, Listen I'd love to stay and chat, but I wanna be alone for now...kay?"

"If somethin's botherin' ya why don't you just tell us? It might not hurt as much then..." Applejack said...

"No...I-I ain't talkin' bout dem freaks, alright?" I gave a tug at my cyan crystal, shaped like a tear drop... "Let's just say I had a bad history..."

"I'll be willin' ta listen when yer ready to talk about it, alright?" I nodded...

"I know! Maybe a party can cheer you up!" Pinkie suddenly burst up...

"NO! I mean, please don't, I'm kinda...Anti-Socal..." Rainbow Dash just groaned...

"Great, now we have TWO Fluttershys!"

"I'm NOT Shy, Alright? I'm just used to livin' on my own!"

"Where's your family then, lone wolf?"

"..." I have her a glare...she seemed to be a bit un-nerved by it but she kept pressing...

"Lemme guess...you ran off?"

"I DID! NOW WOULDJA STOP ASKING QUESTIONS?!" I broke down into a sobbing mess...the others giving her a glare...

"What?"

"Rainbow, Why did ya keep aking questions? you obvioulsly saw that he was uncomforable with it!" Rarity said...

"It's just that...My little brother ran off and I've spent quite a while looking for him...I forgot his name though..."

"That doen't mean that he IS your long lost brother, Rainbow he said his older sister died" Applejack said...Spike came down with Twilight "I'm guessing it's time?" Twilight just nodded...Time..for the Summer Sun Celebration...


Everypony was gathered in town hall, Twilight looking very worried...I just stood there, waiting for the event to end so I can go home, and sleep off the talk earlier...exicted chatting filling the building...Pinkie dashed up to Twilight...

"Isn't this exciting?! Are you exicted? cause I'm exicted, I've never been so exited! Well, Exept for the time that I saw you walking in this town and I went [gasp] but I mean really, what can top that?" Trumpets started to play, along with Fluttershy's bird chour, silencing everpony... A spotlight trained on Mayor Mare as she took a stand on the stage...

"Fillys and Gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, It is my great pleasure to announce the beginging of the Summer Sun Celebration!" Cheering went through out the building.
"In just a few moments, out town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this; The longest day of the year! And now, It is my great honor to introduce to you, the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria, Princess Celestia!"

The curtains opened to reveal...nopony...

"Huh?!" Rarity was on the balcony where Celestia should have been...

"This can't be good..." Twilight said...Nervous, I walked up to her...

"Yo, What's goin' on?"

"I don't know..."

"Please remain calm, Everypony, there must be a reason or explantion..." Pinkie jumped up...

"Oh! Oh! I LOVE guessing games! Is she hiding?"

"Rarity trotted up to the limelight... "She's gone!" Everypony gasped..

"Ohhh, She's good!" Pinkie said...she then let out a suprised scream...At the very top balcony, midnight blue mist started to swirl...

"Oh, no..." Twilight said...I just watched the mist and slowly started to back pedal...The mist then broke open to reveal...A alicorn? I thought Celestia was the only one in existance...this one had a black coat, light midnight blue eyes with slits as pupils...pretty imtimidating...I reached into my Saddlebags and pulled out my trusty cross bow...just in case.. "Nightmare Moon..." Twilight identified the newcomer...Spike fainted and fell off Twilight's back...I picked him up and put him in a saddlebag that wasn't exactly full...

"Oh, my beloved subjects, It's been so long since I've seen your little pecious, sun-loving faces" Nightmare said...

"What did ya do to our Princess?" rainbow tried to fly up there, but Applejack kept her grounded...

"Whoa there, Nelly" She said between gritted teeth and rainbow colored hair...Nightmare just laughed

"Why? Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"

"Oh! Oh! More guessing games! umm, Hokey Smokes...How bout..Queen Meanie? No, Black Snooty, Black Snooty!" Applejack shoved a apple into Pinkie's mouth, rendering the next line of words to come out muffled...

"Does my crown no longer count, now that I have been imprisioned for a thousand years?" She asked Fluttershy who cowered... "Did you not recall the legends?" She walked up to Rarity...then turn her attention to me... "Did you not see the signs?" She was right up in my face, her slit eyes, gnawing me from the inside out...luckily Twilight came in to save me...

"I did, and I know who you are! Your the Mare in the Moon! Nightmare Moon!" This was followed by gasps...

"Well, well, well, somepony remembers me...then you also know why I'm here?"

"Your here to...to...[gulp]"

"[laughter] Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth the night will last, FOREVER! [laughter...]"
