I opened my eyes to see that I was lying on the floor with Moonberry and crystal next to me. I yawned. "well look who is finally up." Cadence said. I smiled. "Guess what tomorrow is?" She said. I gasped. "The Hearts and Hooves day ball!" i shouted with delight.
Cadence quickly put a hoof to her lips. I blushed seeing my mistake. I stepped out of the sandwich and walked over to my mother. I nuzzled her.
A knock at the door sounded. A pony with a cloak on was at the door. "Um hello" i said. The filly waved her hoof. She flipped her hood back. A Pale orange unicorn with magenta eyes and a Bright yellow mane with a bright orange and pink streak running through it.(It's the exact style of twilight's mane but in the colors described.) i gasped. She looked just like Aunt Twilight, But different.
"Um hello may I come in?" The small one said. I stepped out-of-the-way. The filly walked in. cadence walked over to her. I excused myself and ran upstairs to twilight's bedroom. I burst through the door.
"Twilight can I ask you something?" i panted. She looked at me. 'sure Skyla whats up?" she asked. " Well do you have any other siblings besides shining armour?" I asked. She thought for a moment. "well I had a elder sister but she was lost long ago.." Twilight said lost in thought. "Twilight you have to come see this." I said. she got up and ran down the stairs with me.
The little filly and Cadence stared at us. Twilight's jaw hung open. They walked towards one another cautiously but surely. "You look just like me!" Twilight exclaimed. The filly nodded. "Who is your mother young one?" Twilight asked. "Shining star, we were in town. By the way I am Sunset Star." She introduced. Everybody gasped. "YOUR MOTHER IS SHINING STAR!" Rarity gasped. Sunset nodded.
Twilight's knees gave way beneath her. She fell to the ground. "Sunset Star go get your mother please and your father if he is with you." She said shakily. The filly nodded. She ran out the door. We all looked at twilight. "What was that about?" Crystal said. Twilight looked like she was gonna faint.
The door opened revealing Four ponies Sunset among them. Twilight's eyes opened up. The mare gasped. "Twily?" she asked. Twilight nodded. The mare sprinted over to twilight and tackled her in a hug. They embraced.
Everypony was just staring at them. They released each other. "Twilight I am so happy to see you sis. I'd thought I would never see you again. After that day of the accident." Star said.
Flash cleared his throat. They looked at him. "And who might this be Twily? A coltfriend Perhaps?" Star asked. She smirked. twilight Blushed. "Actually he is my husband." Twilight said standing up and walking over to the colt. Star's jaw dropped to the ground. "Wwhhaaa?" She gasped. we all laughed.
"Shining Star this is Princess Cadence." Twilight said. star directed her attention to the pink alicorn. "Hello princess. I didn't know that you knew Twily." Cadence Laughed. "Star I am family. You are aware that Shining Armor is married aren't you? I was also Twilight's foalsitter." Cadence asked her. Star nodded her head. "I am aware that our big bro is married. Never met the wife though." Star said. "You just did." Cadence said. Again Star's jaw dropped. "Well that's amazing. Anything Else that i am missing?" She questioned.
Cadence and Twilight Shared a quick glance with each other. "Dusk Dawn Skyla Crystal Come here please." Cadence called. we all strode forward to stand by our mothers. Star looked at them. "Star this is Dusk and this is dawn these are my foals and Skyla and Crystal are cadence's they are your nieces and nephew." Twilight said. We all nodded.
"Well that's new, oh and there is two more reasons while we are here. we are here for the ball and Shadow blast is here visiting family." Rarity, Pinkie,a nd Rainbow gasped. We all looked at them.
"Shadow blast is my 1st cousin." Pinkie Pie said. "he is my 2nd cousin on my mom's side." Rainbow said. "Well he is my dad's cousin so that makes me his 2nd cousin as well." They all gasped. "So we are all related. Me, Twilight, Rainbow and Rares! that is so awesome!" Pinkie screamed. Star had walked outside following Moonberry. Curious I followed them.
moonberry was sitting in the backyard looking at an unfamiliar plant. Star walked up behind her. "Hi Sweetie are you ok?" Star said. Moonberry was facing away from her so Shining star couldn't see her face. Moonberry whipped around. "oh um yes I'm fine." Moonberry said. Star nodded. She walked away. "She looks an awful like my eldest daughter before I lost her... " she muttered. I widened my eyes. "well looks like we could have the case solved." i said inside my head.
I trotted back inside. "Hey mom can me and my friends go and get ready for the ball tonight." i asked. Cadence smiled. "Of course Dear." Well we could go shopping for new dress. Rarity widened her eyes and said. "Look no father Come with me and i could give you new dresses and a tux for the colts." Rarity said. we smiled. We trotted out of the door.
The streets of ponyville were busy finishing preparing decorations for the ball tonight. I noticed a group of ponies staring at us.
My eyes caught two ponies behind them. One was an teenage alicorn with a pale blue coat teal eyes a butter colored mane and tail. The other was a teenage alicorn with a pure white coat a sea green and teal patched mane and tail. I smiled and ran to them. The couple smiled and hugged me. "Skyla how are you. I haven't seen you since last Hearths warming eve." The pale blue mare smiled. "Moonbeam millennium good to see you. I missed you both. how is the kingdom running?" I asked with a smile. "Its going great. The frost kingdom is on its way." Millennium said. "ARe you going to the ball tonight?" "Of course you know your aunt wouldn't miss it for the world." Moon said. I smiled. I waved goodbye and ran off to Rarity's boutique.
Everypony was already there including Sweetie Belle, Rumble, Applebloom, Supercharge, and Scootaloo. All with dates to the dance yet still no cutie marks. They were only about 3 years older than us. "Ah Skyla there you are i was wondering were you ran off to." rarity's voice called across the room.
She had something in a box. She levitated it over to me and I opened it. I gasped. They were the most beautiful dresses i had ever seen. The first one was floor length and crystal blue with deep blue sapphires along the trim and the neckline of the dress. It had a pair of matching crystal blue slippers to go with it and a Pure silver mane pin lined with blue sapphires. The other dress was half pale rose-pink with a maroon skirt that cut off just above my hooves and a pair of maroon slippers and a gold necklace with a maroon heart amulet.
"Rarity these dresses are beautiful. i can't thank you enough." I smiled. I hugged her and hurried home to get ready for the dance.
I had just finished putting the last of my light maroon eye shadow and mascara on.
I looked at myself in the mirror. i just stared at the filly. I felt truly beautiful. My mane was up in a lovely style( think of the style when rarity was versing Trixie in boast busters) my coat freshly groomed, my dress hung tightly on my torso and draped down breezily along my flank and legs. my maroon slippers, necklace, and makeup tied the entire thing together.
"Skyla are you ready yet?" My sister called. "yes!" i called back. I stepped out of the bathroom and faced my sister. we both screamed in delight and awe. My sister was in a blood-red dress with a pink trim, her usually braided hair was now let out and beautifully curled, catching the sides on her pretty face, she had on a beautiful necklace with a light pink barrette and ruby's lining it, to top it all off a light shade of pink eyeshadow.
"Wow sis you are wearing makeup and you let your hair down!" i said with delight. She blushed. "Well yea do you like it?" She asked. I nodded. "I love it!"
"come on we don't want to be late." crystal said. we both walked downstairs were everypony was waiting. Everypony looked at us and gasped. "You girls look beautiful. Ready to go?" Cadence said. We nodded. Cadence, Me and my sister all walked out the door.
We walked to ponyville gathering room. It was about 6-7 ish and the sun was starting to sink over the horizon. We walked in and i gasped in surprise. The room was filled with dancing ponies. There was a stage with four thrones on it. Two were bigger than the others. They must be for the king and queen and the two slightly smaller ones must be for the prince and princess. There were pink red and purple lights flashing all over the room. I immediately spotted my friends.I kissed my mom and me and CRystal ran off.
"Hi guys!" Dawn squeaked. I waved my hoof. I noticed that there was a group of colts Apple pie and Dusk among them. "Hey Rain who are they?" i whispered to the rainbow maned filly. " The bright yellow colt,That is Golden rod. Fluttershy's son. The brown colt next to him is twig the two behind him are Blue cloud and Teal waves, apple pie is on the other side of Twig with dusk On the other side of golden rod is Dreamcatcher and the last one is Solar burst."
I nodded. The pale yellow colt named Solar Burst caught my eye. I blushed. Rainboom noticed this. She gave me a look. I just rolled my eyes.
I notcied Two fillies walking over two me. "Well look who showed up." PD said. I rolled my eyes. I took one look at the other filly and a chill was sent through my spine. "Minty Swirl what are you doing here?" i growled. She smiled. "I got out of the inccodent." She smirked. "Well guess who is going to win the Princess Of the Ball tonight. That's right me. I have no doubt i am going to win." PD said. I rolled my eyes.
I walked off. Princess Cadence was standing on the stage. The lights dimmed and a spotlight shone on her. "Welcome everypony To the Annual Heart's and Hooves day Ball!" Cadence said. Cheers were followed.
"Now I am about to announce the Prince and Princess of the Ball. You have already selected one filly and one colt. Here is the Prince." She flipped oven a card and said with a smile. "Solar Burst!"
Everypony stomped and cheered. and he walked up onto the stage.
Rarity put a plastic crown on his head. I looked around for Wind Blast and Raging Storm. They both had their jaws open. I chuckled.
"And your Princess is..." She widened her eyes in surprise. "PRINCESS SKYLA!" she said. I just stared at her with my mouth open. My friends congradulated me and i walked up yo the stage. Rarity put a Silver crown on my head. i smiled at the large crowd of ponies. Solar looked at me and waved his hoof. I blushed and waved back.
"Now I will announce the King and Queen. your king is... Big Macintosh! The queen is Fluttershy!" They both looked ta each other before creeping up on stage. Everypony cheered. " Now the traditional dance of the king and queen." We all walked offstage. I walked over to my friends.
"Congrats Skyla!" Posey said. I smiled and blushed. I felt a tap on my shoulder. i turned around to be looking at solar. he smiled. " hey congrats on your award Princess Skyla." He said. I blushed furiously. "Congratulations on your award Prince solar." I responded. He winked at me and walked away. I was still blushing.
Rainboom flashed a glance at me. I smiled. "I can't believe you won instead of me!" Pd said. A shocked look came across her face. I gave her a HUh? look. "How i'm not interupting anything important?' I turned around. I squealed with delight. "Shining Armor! When did you get here?'i asked. " I wanted to surprise you your sister and Cadence." He said. I giggled and hugged him.
Pink Diamond was still standing there with a shocked expression on her face. "Who's this Sky?" He asked. "Pink diamond. Filthy Rich's youngest daughter." She gave a slight nod and ran off.
"Guess whaty dad. i got to be princess of the ball." I squealed. He nuzzled me. "I am so happy for you. Now let's go check out the refrestments table. I think some cupcakes are calling my name." I laughed. We walked off the the table. "Shiny when did you get here!" Cadence cooed. My father and i turned around and cadence just about burts out laughing. My dad's face was covered in frosting and cake crumbs. We all hugged.
PInk DIamond's POV
I watched from a hidding spot as Shining Armor and Cadence embraced. Skyla was with them. How could be so close with the royal family? Crystal just joined them. I took a closer look at them. I widened my eyes. I never thought but Crystal and SKyla look similar to them. Skyla had cadence's mane colors but paler and her coat color but daker. with shining's blue eyes. crystal had shining's prestine white coat and eletric blue streaks with cadence's eyes and purple color. Wasn't Their daughter's suppose to visit ponyville? I let out a short gasp. Crystal Heart and Skyla are really the princesses!
