Queen Majesty shifted uneasily on her throne, it wasn't like Medley to be
this late. The green Pegasus might have a bit of attitude, but she minded
curfew almost religiously. Where could she-
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of a pink Pegasus, her bright red hair still faintly wind tossed. " Medley is approaching the gates Your Highness." Heart Throb looked faintly troubled.
"Is something wrong?" Majesty inquired. She had not been queen for a hundred years and ten days and not been able to read facial expressions like magic, well, maybe it was magic...
"She's walking-" Heart Throb began before being interrupted by Majesty.
You don't think she is injured?" Majesty gasped. Pegasus were not fast healers and their wings were very important to their survival.
"She does not appear to be, the thing is... she appears to be leading a band of strange ponies, I sent Surprise to go and see what's up." Majesty nodded in agreement, stood, and winked to the castle gates where Medley and Surprise stood in deep conversation.
Surprise nodded and began to head for the castle when she bumped into Majesty. "Very sorry your highness. Medley was just informing me about these foriegners. She supposes the came into the kingdom last night. She says they are scared really bad of something and-"
Majesty cut her off with a twitch of her tail. "I'm sure Medley can explain this very well herself Surprise." Then turning to Medley she said "Why don't you and your friends coem into the throneroom, you can both explain." Medley nodded in agreement.

A hour later they were all standing in the throne room. The Celebration Herd had under-gone some serious scrubbing to get the stains and smell or manure out of tehir fur, their hair and been cut and let grow back to get rid of the matting, it didn't grow as fast as say a unicorns but by the time tehyw ere in the throne room kimono's hair was to his shoulder and still keeping up a steady growth. Sunny Daze's grew faster and was it was already full length, just barely brushing the floor.
"Now," Majesty said, "Shall we begin?" Wind Whistler turned around to translate the phrase to the strange looking ponies.
"Der, nhobb ru guvyd?" Wind Whistler translated flawlessly. Her tongue forming the words with a perfect accent. The Celebration Herd nodded in agreement and and Autumn Skye began the tale, with Medley telling from where she came in and Wind Whistler translated everything to Majesty and the rest of a fairly nervous looking court.
By the time the story was finished there were many wisperings going on amoung the Dfream Vallians.
"Look at them, I always knew something was wrong, Hybrids, hmph!"
"What are we gonna do? I thought those things were only a problem up north! Our children aren't safe!"
"Calm down everyone, calm down!" Majesty shouted above the turmiol "Yes, they are hybrids of ourselves and our hated rivals, the Easterns, btu it was not their chioce and one cannot procecute tehm for the crimes of another race! It has become clear to me that though these mountain grundles are outside my realm we must still put a stop to them. They are a danger to all of our kind. I will be sending diplomats to The Gardens in hope of creating and army with both ourselves and tehm. We need their speed and quick minds, one cannot argue with that." Majesty was done with her speech, and no one was arguing.
Windy motioned for them to follow her and she led them to their quarters. "Well you each have your own rooms with bathrooms and- Are they a couple?" she asked Autumn sky. Autumn Skye nodded. "Ooookay, they can have a room togethor." Windy said brightly. Autumn Skye eyed her cautiously, a bit to cheerful in her opinion, but it was just unsettling, none of her special feelings.
Kimonos stepped into the room and Sunny Daze followed him. He turned and grinned at her and-

Rainbow Dash Stopped in the middle of his story. "And?" Baby Sunsparkle asked hopefully. Rainbow Dash looked hopefully at his sister, Autumn Skye for some input, but the pony just smirked mischeviously.
"Hope you don't teach her anything she doesn't need to know Dash." Stand- Up bit into a piece of toast, "Sunny Daze wouldn't be happy."
"Course she wouldn't, nobody wants their kid knowing that at her age." Autumn Skye added helpfully, "Why she'd skin you alive, and Stand-Up, your not supposed to have food in the library, now out!" Stand-Up ducked the boook thrown at himpecked Autumn Skye on the cheek and ran for his life. Autumn wiped her cheek off disgustedly and wnet back to reading. Leaving Rainbow Dash to figure out how to cover up the error his big mouth had made.
"Why, uh, they thought about making you, uh yeah, they considered it." Rainbow Dsah added quickly.
"But how are baby ponies made uncle Rainbow Dash?" Baby Sunsparkel asked.
"Hey do you wanna hear the rest of this story or not?" He asked her.
"Story" She said and he wiped his brow and continued.

Next month they set off for The Gardens and was it a long month. Traing the unicorns in defence (Just in case), teaching the hybrids english, packing, teaching the hybrids in other forms of education. In all the hybrids were an intelligent species and sped through their work and were as educated as an adult by the time they finishded. By now itw as break time.
Autumn Skye sprawled out under the tree and looked out at the meadow where others were frolicking. The sun was shining, the breeze was light enough to cool, but not yet strong enough to be wind. She drifted off under the old elm.
She was standing in a storm, the wind whipped overhead. Leaves whipped around her in a miniature tornado. Then, everything was quiet. She was facing a white, symboless Eastern, long black wavy hair hung to her shoulders and her tail just brushed the ground. The Easterner watched her calmly. No malice, no fear. One word exploded in her head, Draven.
Autumn Skye woke suddenly. She was shaking and was damp with sweat. Several poneis stood over her. She looked up at them with surprise.
"Are you all right? You screamed."
Autumn Skye nodded, "I'm fine, where is Majesty?" The ponies glanced at each other at this strange question, But informed her that Majesty was helping with the last of the packing. Autumn Skye nodded and took off for the castle.
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of a pink Pegasus, her bright red hair still faintly wind tossed. " Medley is approaching the gates Your Highness." Heart Throb looked faintly troubled.
