My Little Pony: Their Greatest Adventure
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is the "follow-up" story to my "The Birth of Ponyland" fanfic. I use the term loosely, considering I wrote this one while I was still in high school, long before I even considered writing "TBOP." So please forgive some of the mistakes, and possible plot holes that you can drive a truck through.
The sun rose over the mountains beyond Dream Valley. The snow on a nearby tree branch fell to the ground. Two blue birds woke up and flew around Ponyland, waking every animal in the land up, to let them know it was spring time. The snow was melting. It was time for the Little Ponies in Paradise Estate to hold their annual Spring Festival. The minute the bluebirds got to Paradise Estate, they went directly to the nursery and sang a lively tune. That tune woke up Baby Lofty. She got out of her bed and looked out the window."
"Oh boy!" she shouted. "Spring time!"
Soon, the other baby ponies woke up and looked out the window. They cheered. They couldn't wait for the Spring Festival to begin. At that exact moment, the Little Ponies ran out of Paradise Estate in order to make the preparations for the Festival."
"This is going to be the best Spring Festival ever!" Fizzy exclaimed."
"But what if something goes wrong?" Shady asked."
"What can go wrong, Shady?" Gusty asked, who had little patients for Shady at times."
"Smooze," was all Shady said."
Gusty was speechless. Shady did have a point. The year before this, the witches from the Volcano of Gloom had sicced Smooze on the Little Ponies, and that almost ruined the Spring Festival."
"That was last year, Shady," Lofty said, flying over. "This is, well, this year! And besides, the witches learned their lesson. They won't try anything like that again! Besides, I have news. My cousin, Airedale, is coming for a visit today. He's dropping in for the Spring Festival."
"That's great," Fizzy said. "I don't think we've ever met your cousin."
"Nobody here has," Lofty said. She flew off to give Baby Lofty the good news."
Gusty, Fizzy, and Shady continued to set up for the Festival. They were joined by Lickety Split and Masquerade. The ponies human friends were also there. they were giving the ponies a helping hand.
"I think we'll be ready for the festivities in no time," Ribbon said. "Absolutely nothing can go wrong today!"
Ribbon was about to be proved wrong. As she spoke, she was being watched through a crystal ball. Two hands were circling it, but the body was covered in total shadow.
"You may think that now, little pony," the voice belonging to the hands said. "But you haven't seen me in action yet. You little ponies think it's going to be a beautiful spring day. Bah!"
The voice belonged to a sorceress, wanting to turn the world into eternal darkness for centuries. But she never got the chance. She was always stopped. Even others who also wanted eternal darkness were stopped, even the great Tirac, who was stopped by the little ponies' Rainbow of Light. The sorceress watched her crystal ball intently.
"For years, I have wanted to seek revenge on Claudius Nelson for defeating me in a task so great that it destroyed my power for centuries!" she shouted "But since he died with no family, I never had a chance to do so. No matter. I'll get even with the little ponies instead. It was, after all, their first queen who, with the rest of the unicorns, created the Rainbow of Light which destroyed my power."
