(1st POV: Alain [How it is said: A-lane])
I woke up to find myself on a train. WHY!? Why does it have to be a train? I quietly grumbled. I looked up and noticed that the passengers are...ponies? Unicorns? Yeah ponies and unicorns, maybe a few strands of pegasi here and there...I notice that the train has rather vibrant colors, like pink...everywhere I look I see pink, I'm perfectly fine with the color it just that this is just too much of it! I hung my head.
When I looked down I noticed that I have a very, very light purple hoof. I guess that I am in that color...Anyway! I also have a dark yet light purple sweater with two small light purple stripes at the bottom part of the sweater. Thankfully the sweater has long sleeves, thankfully. I noticed that a thick curved strand of my white hair, er, mane has a very pitch black tip. The mane still has my classic braid, it is just thinner than it was before. I looked at my tail and saw that it is very bushy but smooth along with the same black tip. I also still have my decoration on my head! Anyway I noticed that I have wings and a tattoo? The tattoo is a pale dirty orange-brown scroll with a blue quill writing on it. I feel like the tattoo means more than meets the eye... I also see nearly everypony with a tattoo on them! Wait...did I say everypony? I shook my head rather roughly.
I looked around and spotted my bag, it seems to have the same tattoo on the buckle on both sides, thankfully the bag itself still has the same power, which is the unlimited space. I brought my bag closer to me and looked out the window to see a beautiful castle.
The castle is in the color white with golden pointed roofs with some unnoticeable designs on them, some of the towers have a rather large 'window' for whoever lives there can get through it. I kept staring at it until I noticed somepony was tapping on my shoulder.
"Yes?" I asked to a rather vibrant pink pony. I noticed that the pink pony has a very puffy dark pink mane. She has light blue eyes. I also noticed that she has three balloons for a tattoo.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie but you can call me Pinkie!" The pink pony now Pinkie jumped up and down in excitement. I'm being very honest here...she's making me dizzy with her jumping.
"Nice to meet you too." I said forcing a bit of some emotion in it, mainly, happiness. Pinkie somehow brought all her friends in a matter of seconds! Like HOW!? Maybe she's just being Pinkie? If so then that makes a lot more sense.
"What is your name?" Pinke asks. I was snapped back into reality again.
"Hmmm, Quill." I simply said. "But you can call me Alain." I noticed a very confused look on the group's faces. Like in a cartoon my eyes turn into comic pans.
"It's my nickname that I like to use." I explained. A chorus of "Ohhhh" came around.
Pinkie already started telling me all of their names.
Twilight has purple fur along with a horn and dark midnight mane with a bold dark pink stripe and a bold purple stripe. Her mane is rather straight as well as her tail. Her eye color is pink, or is it purple? Her tattoo is a pink star with mini small white stars around it.
Rarity is also a unicorn but her fur is white. Her eye color is dark blue. Her dark blue-purple mane has very nice curls as well as her tail. Her tattoo has three blue diamonds.
I noticed that Spike, a baby purple dragon with green fins? Scales? I'm not sure but he always seems so love struck to the white unicorn, hopefully it's just my imagination...right?
Applejack is an orange pony. Her eye color is forest green. Her mane is light blond, a red band holds the bottom part of the mane rather nicely, the same goes for her tail, she also has a brown cowgirl hat. She seems really affectionate of it. I'm guessing it might be a family gift. Anyway, her tattoo is three apples.
Rainbow Dash is a pegasi like me but with light blue fur. Her eye color is a dark red-pink. Her mane is a rainbow! I do gotta admit it looks cool. Her tattoo is a cloud summoning a rainbow lightning bolt.
Fluttershy is also a pegasi with light yellow fur. Her eye color is light blue. Her mane is light pink, her bangs slightly covered her right eye. Actually her mane is practically dragging on the floor! But at the same time it kept a very nice look. Her tattoo is three pink butterflies.
"Hey there!" Rainbow seems really excited for something.
"Hi." I casually said with no emotion.
"Are you alright darling? It sounds like you're tired…" Rarity said in worry. That is very accurate but that is really just who I am.
"Sort of...It's just who I am." I assure the white unicorn.
"If you say so…" Rarity replied, but it seems she doesn't completely believe me, that's fine.
"Ah have a question for you." Applejack said in her countryism. Maybe she lives on a farm.
"What is it?" I ask in curiosity.
"Where do you live?" She asks.
"..." I was silent to that reply, it seems that Applejack caught on.
"You don't want to say it right now right?" She had hit the nail as I nodded.
"That's alright we well just have to wait." Applejack murmured.
Pinkie was somehow right next to me!
"Thats a cool Cutie Mark!" Pinkie exclaimed. She opened my wing up and held it up. I looked where she was pointing at and saw that tattoo, now Cutie Mark. At least I won't be making a fool out of myself.
"What does it mean?" Twilight finally spoke.
"I think it might be in writing...I'm not really sure myself…" I actually do know what it means, it's just that it will be really hard to explain to ponies I literally just met.
"By the way are you heading to the Canterlot Wedding, darling?" Rarity asks. I blinked in confusion.
"What wedding? I literally just moved." I stated. That got a dramatic gasp out of the white unicorn while the others were just shocked besides Pinkie...Right?
"The Wedding for Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (Cadence) and Shining Armor, the captain of the Royal Guards!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Okay?" I was really not interested in that kind of stuff but...my gut is telling me something bad is about to happen there.
I noticed that Twilight looked rather sour and moody. While the others are chirping among themselves about the wedding. I wasn't one of them or the other I was in the middle. I just don't feel a thing...
When I looked out the window again, for only about a minute actually, but now the castle is covered in a dark pink barrier. I narrowed my eyes in confusion. I heard some shuffling and saw Twilight looking anxious than moody, but she still looked sour.
"Are you alright?" I ask, rather quietly on my part to Twilight. The purple unicorn sighed deeply.
"Not really...it's just my brother, who is Shining Armor…" She paused for a bit. "We used to be so close, I thought he would have told me personally." Twilight explained. I think I now get the picture of why Twilight is so, well, moody and sour, but also hurt.
"I know how that feels, but what if you think as to why he can't come personally? Maybe he was very busy trying to get the wedding ready…" I looked back at the border as the train started to go through.
"What kind of species is he?" I ask. Twilight raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"A unicorn like me." She answered. A lot of dots are connecting now.
"What if he was the one keeping the barrier up?" I place down my theory out for her to hear.
"That does make a lot more sense...he is my B.B.B.F.F." I had no idea what that means but it sounds like they are awfully close as siblings. I can see why she was hurt from that, plus without a proper explanation as to why he can't tell her himself.
We heard the tracks screeching to a halt with some sparks flicking off of the rail and wheel.
"We are now at the Canterlot Station! If your stop is here go grab your bags and get ready to leave!" The pony on the speaker said. I sigh quietly and pluck the bag with my teeth and toss it onto my back.
"Hey, why not come along with us?" Pinkie skipped in glee next to me, her eye practically pleading to me to say yes.
"Alright, might as well join this joy ride." I murmured with no emotion whatsoever. This caused Pinkie to squeal in joy with the answer while Twilight looked at me in concern. I gave her a small truthful smile. I guess I grew a liking to Twilight it seems.
"You said that you just moved here today." Applejack asks with slightly narrowed eyes.
"I said that I was moving, I didn't say where." I explained. Applejack looked slightly embarrassed. It seems that Applejack must have misjudged what I was saying earlier.
I noticed Fluttershy was carrying a bird box, or cage not sure. I heard some tweeting inside of the box as Fluttershy cooed to the birds inside of it. It seems to have calmed them down.
Twilight looked even more anxious and all over the place than before.
"Are you really okay?" I ask, my eyes glazed in slight worry. I must have scared Twilight there because she jumped up with a startled look on her face. I was growing even more concerned than I was before.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you there." I apologized. Twilight gave me a shaky but forgiving smile
"I'm just anxious to see my brother again I suppose." Twilight sighed, it seems she has relaxed much better now than before.
"Twi!" I turned my attention to a white unicorn stallion (I think I got that right) with dark yet light blue short mane and a long tail. His horn is using magic to keep the barrier up. His Cutie Mark is a dark pink star similar to Twilight but with a blue shield behind the star.
Thankfully I was right about him using his magic to keep the barrier up.
"I am so sorry that I was unable to tell you personally about the wedding, it's just that-" Twilight cut of her brother, Shining Armor.
"I know I just wish the letter had said that. Thankfully Quill(Alain) here told me a theory that you were keeping the barrier up." She explained I gave a nod when she said my 'name'.
"Hello, I'm Quill but I'll feel more comfortable if you just call me Alain." I introduced myself.
"Well then, Qui-, er, Alain nice to meet you too?" At the last part he seems a bit uncertain. I looked quizzically at Twilight. She gave off a shrug.
"Are you also here for the wedding?" Shining Armor asks. I nodded yes. No point in saying no when you're too deep into the mess.
"I should show you and your friends to your rooms." He offered to his little sis.
"Oh that would be lovely!" Twilight squealed in delight. I'm glad to see her happy again. But why can't I shake the feeling that somepony is watching me? I sighed and went after Twilight and her rather colorful group of friends.
(3rd POV.)
An alicorn princess was on a balcony. Some wind blew her mane a bit to cause it to flutter.
She has light pink fur with curled striped mane, the stripes color are light slightly dirty yellow, dark yet light pink, and purple. The mane had some fading white to it. She is wearing golden shoes and a necklace along with a small tiara with a purple gem in the middle. Her once purple eyes are now haunting glowing green. Her Cutie Mark is a blue crystallized heart with two curved golden leaves. She is 'Mi Amore Cadenza (Cadence)', the 'Princess' of Love.
She stared at the white mane pegasi with hatred along with a scowl on her face.
"She'll cause some problems with my plans…" 'Cadence' hissed slowly as she walked back inside.
