The New Generation: prologue
It had now been five years since the war, and the memory of the battle had faded into memory, but the horrors of that battle still lingered in the minds, of the survivors.
The beautiful town of PonyVille, had been fully rebuilt, to its former glory, but with some new additions, the Princess's had allowed the construction of a royal guard air base, on the out skirts of town, now with a secure feeling of safety, the citizens of PonyVille, continued on with their lives, and were happy, but none more so, than two of our favorite heroes.
Twilight and Flame, as well as their two foals, Night Gale and Star Dust, were walking to the train station, Night Gale and Star Dust, had recently been accepted by the Canterlot University of Magic, and were as happy as young fillies.
But not all things are good, Twilight and Flame received the notice, that Night Gale and Star Dust would have to stay and live on campus, much to their disappointment, their Uncle Shining Armor and Aunt Cadence had agreed to watch over them, much to Twilight and Flame's relief.
Night Gale and Star Dust were scheduled to leave PonyVille by mid-day, and they were almost running late, but luckily they managed to make it on time.
By the time they got on to the platform, they saw that the passengers had slowly begun to board the train, Star Dust ran off, to go get the tickets they had reserved, while Night Gale turned to his parents, "now you're sure you got everything with you, your books, clothes, money" Twilight said with a nervous expression, Night Gale smiled at that, she had been over reacting, about it the entire time, since they got the letter.
"yes mom, I have everything, you can stop worrying, it's just the university" he said with a smile, Twilight looked up at him with a smile, "not just any university, the Canterlot University of Magic, is one of the most prestigious schools, in the kingdom, not everypony gets a chance to enroll there" she said, with a proud look, Flame chuckled and put his hoof on his son's shoulder.
"you'll do great, just remember what you've learned" he said with a smile, Night Gale smiled back, and turned to his mom, who had a sad expression on her face, he saw the faintest hint of tears in her eyes, he smiled and looked her in the eyes.
"we'll be fine mom, it's only college, we'll be back as soon as we make enough money for a train ticket, you know how expensive those are these days, in the meantime, we'll keep in touch by letters, and pictures, and stuff like that" he said, just as Star Dust ran back up to them, levitating two tickets with her magic.
"Okay got the tickets, come on Night Gale, the train is leaving soon" she said as Night Gale took his and put it in his coat pocket.
Star Dust ran up, and gave her mom and dad a big hug, "bye mom, bye dad, love you both" she said as she let go, Twilight and Flame looked at her with smiles, "we love you too, do your best, and don't stop trying, listen to your brother, and no fighting you two" Twilight said, with a happy tone.
"All aboard, the train for Canterlot!" the conductor yelled out, Star Dust looked back, and then turned to Night Gale, "okay, I'll go get to our seats" Star Dust said before she ran off and boarded the train but not before waving back to her parents, and soon she disappeared.
Twilight and Flame, turned back to their son, with a smile, Twilight leaned forward and pulled her son, into a hug, Flame stood their watching with a smile, "stay in touch, and look after your sister" she said as they separated, even by now, Night Gale had tears slowly forming in his eyes.
He soon, looked over to his dad, and he did the same, "just remember to do your best, be strong and you'll be fine, show them what your truly made of" Flame said, as they pulled apart, and Night Gale turned and walked around, he handed the conductor his ticket and started climbing up the stairs, but not before leaning back, and getting one last look at his parents.
He knew this wouldn't be the last time he saw them, but he knew it would a long time until he would see them again, face to face.
Soon the train started moving, and Night Gale looked at them, as a single tear flowed down his cheek, "we'll make you both proud!" he shouted over the engines, as he walked into the train, and found his sister, waiting patiently in their seats.
Flame again, wrapped his hoof around Twilight's shoulder, and they leaned their heads together, tears spilling down both of their cheeks, "we already are" Flame said, and they both watched as the train left the station, and onward to the capital city of Canterlot.
