A blinding light flashed as my sisters stepped down the stare case. Everyone just stared in awe and some were whispering. I
slid through a secret door to enter the gala. i headed off into the crowd not know what will come next.
POV Change Millennium.
Shimmer and Glimmer were teasing me again while my best friends Bracken ,Midnight Shadow,and Sunburst were just laughing their heads off. Shine was standing in a corner with two other ponies whispering."Oh
come on Lenni wenni please?" Shimmer pleaded with big puppy dog eyes. I just turned my head "for the last time girls I SAID NO!" I growled
at the girls. Bracken stopped laughing for a quick moment only to say " Oh come on lenni wenni?" Bracken said mocking Shimmer's voice. I
shot them a death glare. This only made them laugh harder. I turned around ready to stomp off when something caught my eye. She was
the most beautiful mare he had ever seen. Her beautiful light blue coat, her flowing golden-blond hair, her big bright teal eyes her delicate face. Her
royal blue floor length gown that swayed in the most beautiful way when she walked. I rubbed my eyes she has to be a dream i
thought. Oh yes! This was real it was really her the mare I had always dreamed about. A blush started to come on to my snow white
coat. Bracken did not let this go unoticed. He chuckled and said " Hey dudes look at Millennium's face!" he could barely make out the
words before he had a laughing fit... again. Shine looked the way Millennium was staring. She gasped. The mare she was looking at
she had never seen before but she was surely beautiful and familiar. She pointed with her hoof to the mare. Showing to her the only made Shimmer cleared her throat. But I was to focused on
'her' to notice Shimmer. A movement brought Millennium back to Equestria. She was coming this way. She WAS COMING THIS WAY!.
Moonbeam's POV
As I walked into the mass of ponies. I felt as I were being watched. I quickly turned around to see a handsome stallion staring straight
at me. He looked at me through big magenta eyes. Something about him seemed to be familiar. I scanned him up and down. His pure
snow white coat, that perfect teal mane and tail. A solar eclipse for a cutie mark. I definitely knew who this was. It was Millennium. Son
of Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis. I have heard of him and met him but He wouldn't remember me, would he? I trotted over to him and his
little group of friends all well known, in fact. By the time I got over there Millennium's blush had quickly faded but had replaced a look of
admiration in his eyes. I swiped a quick glance at the others in his group when I realized something. Those three ponies were the ones in her
dream. She wanted to shrink away like fluttershy at this time, but she wanted to be confident and this could be her only chance.
I waved my hoof. "Hi I am Princess Moonbeam." I said quietly. Shine looked shocked. then Shimmer
sneered "how are you a princess?" I fluttered my of the ponies whom I did not know showed a look of interest. I replied calmly " You must know The
princesses Nightshade and Snowshine?" Shimmer smirked "well who wouldn't they are princesses after all! I happen to
be very close with Nightshade if i do say so myself" she replied. I nodded "The daughters of Queen Blue Belle and King Eclipse are hard
to meet, they are very well protected ponies." I said "How did you meet her if I may ask?" Shimmer stammered a bit and said "I met her
personaly a few times." Shimmer boasted. "Now I know thats not true because she would have told me if she met you." I retorted. Glimmer
gave me a look of disbelif " yea right. How would you know the princess on a personal level hmmm?" she snorted. I gave off
no sign of that this disturbed me so i replied " Because I am her older sister." They all gasped. The three ponies narrowed their eyes. Shimmer shook her
head in disbelif. She looked up and smirked and said "Prove it." I stayed calm and collected and said " So you wouldn't mind if you bring
Nightshade or Blue Belle over here and they speak will you believe them? Will that be proof enough? She nodded. "Alright I will!." Shimmer calmly trotted off to find my sister. About 5 mins later Shimmer came back with NIghtshade. When
Nightshade came over to were we were The others bowed to my little sister. But i didn't. Glimmer snarled " Bow down Moonbeam
its the young princess." I just ignored her and nodded to Night. She beckoned them to rise. "Um so why am I here again? Night asked.
" To anwser some questions about Her if it won't take up to much of your highnesses time." Glimmer flicked her tail at me. Night looked at
me like this was some joke. I just shook my head. "Ask away" Night replied to Glimmer. Shimmer smiled widely
but deviously. "Do you know this pony? How well do you know her? Are you two as close as she says you are? Is she really a
princess?" Glimmer finished. NightShade said with excitment "Heck yea I have known her my entire life, I know her well enough to know
her favorite clothing designer to her fav food and more beyond that, we are closers than any normal siblings we can tell when each
other feels bad or if they are in a great mood a mile away and of course she is a princess being my sister and an alicorn and all." Night
said finishing up. All of the ponies we were hanging out with had there jaws dropped and Shimmer and glimmer were furious that what I said was true.
"one more question sis? I want to know have to seen or met this pony at all? I said pointing at Shimmer. Nightshade looked at her then
back at me. My sister shook her head "Nope I have never met her or seen her in my life sorry sis" I just smiled "thas ok i just wanted
to know, Why don't you go play with Flare and Rainboom they are looking for you." She gave a look of fright." Aww horseapples! tHey are here? Bye Sis!". She shot up above the ponies looking for them. She turned back to me she looked embarrased. "Um sis do you know wh-". I pointed my hoof towards the gardens. She Dashed away. I turned
back to the other ponies and saw an enraged Shimmer. Her hair is sticking out all over the place and she was grinding her white teeth. I
had sworn she looked just like Rarity when she was mad. I said " I swear you look like Rarity when she is mad." Shimmer growled at
me "That is because Rarity is our mother and Blueblood is our father" she said through gritted teeth. I was not a fool I knew very well who their
parents were and who they are. I shrugged " I knew that in fact I happen to be one of rarity's personal friends and customers. Did she ever mention a
pony named M.B?" I asked them. Shimmer had a flash back. Mommy what are you doing? a younger shimmer asked.
Making a dress for a pony named M.B my sweet little Shine.
"Ok Mommy"
END OF FLASHBACK
"that was you? Who are you really?" Shimmer asked. I gave a simple smile and whispered the words "exactaly" I turned around to leave but I felt
something around me as I tried to leave. Glimmer's blue magic engulfed me and threw me halfway across the room at the refresments table. The punch bowl dropped on my head
soaking my body and my silk dress. I remembered the dream. Its coming true. The music was cut off in a screech and everypony stopped and stared at me.
Drenched and looking horrible I started to tear up. My mother made her way through the crowd and said "what's going on here!?" she was
stopped short as she saw me." Oh Moonbeam..." she said. I started to cry. Then I ran as fast as my hoofs could carry me. I spread my
wings not caring if my dress ripped. I took to the skyies. I started flying to a verge of hills.I flew through a bramble tunnel the bracken and thorns scraped my coat and face. Blindly flying through the tunnel
while the branches whipped my face. After i got to my hill I went in a secret hole and ran through it. Once again I flew up to my hidden cloud clubhouse I
opened the door and went inside. I plopped down on the floor crying. great way to make friends moonbeam just great.
POV change Millennium
I just couldn't believe what i was seeing. Glimmer just threw Moonbeam at the punch table. Sopping wet she started to cry. I gave them a look. "she
got what she deserved." Shimmer smiled. "For what expense huh?! What do she do to you?"I screamed. Shimmer hisses for showing me up of course. Moonbeam started to run out of the ballroom. I
ran for her as quick as my wings could carry me. Man she was a fast runner. She jumped in the air and flew. Wait flew? Oh yeah she was an alicorn. I shook
my head.I flew after her making sure to keep hidden. She landed on a cloud on hidden by a grassy hill. She dissappeared as soon as she landed on the
cloud. I flew over to the cloud and landed gracefully on its soft ground.A hidden cloud room. I silently opened the door and stepped inside. There lying
on the ground was Moonbeam sobbing her eyes out.
Pov change MOONBEAM
Tears streaming down my face, crying my eyes out was all I could do right now. I could not move i could not talk. I was to focused on remembering
what happend a few minutes ago. The scene just kept playing over and over and over in my head each one more painful then the last. I feel a soft
object next to me thinking it was Shimmer or glimmer. I jump up and hide in a cloud mound in a corner. I hear a male voice and it saying " Hey its ok shhh its ok.I open my eyes
only to be staring into gentle magenta eyes. I slowly walk out of my mound feeling safer that they was not here, but Millennium. "That was brave what
you did back there, I have never seen anyone stand up to those two like that." Millennium told me. I sniffed "really?" Millennium nodded. The door slowly
creaked open behind Millennium. I jumped back into my cloud mound. Millennium turned around to find his friends Bracken,Midnight Shadow, Lavender
Breeze and Sunburst. Millennium whispered low so I couldn't make out what they were saying. The hoof steps were muffled by the softness of the
clouds so I couldn't hear anything either. A gentle light purple face poked into my mound were i was hiding. "Hey its okay we aren't going to hurt you."
The pony said. I once again stepped out so everyone could see me. My fur was in clumps and sticky,scratches and bruises all over my body blood
trickled from the little cut above my eye, my eyes once bright happy teal eyes gave away fear,sadness, and pain. My mane once up in a beautiful mane
style is now sticking out all over the place and my once beautiful dress was torn, ragged and dirty. "Wow Moonbeam you look horrible!" said Bracken.
"OW!" he said as Sun Burst elbowed him in the arm. "Shut up can you see she is hurt!" Sun Burst hissed. I looked at myself in the mirror and laughed.
The others looked confused while Millennium just smiled. "Wow I really do look horrible!" I said laughing. We all burst into laughter. "hey what are your
names? " i asked them. "Oh forgive us I am Lavender Breeze this is Bracken she pointed to a light brown male peagasus with a light pink mane and tail.
This is Sun Burst she pointed to a pale orange female pegasus with a dark yellow and light green mane and tail. Of course you know Millennium." she finished.
"What happened after the part.." i never got to finish before the cloud door burst open and in come Shimmer and Glimmer. I hide behind Millennium.
Bracken, Sun Burst,Midnight Shadow and Lavender Breeze formed a wall to shield me. "What do you 2 want?" hissed Sun Burst. Shimmer put her hooves up. I stepped out from behind the wall
"What do you want to say?" I asked them. This time it was glimmer who spoke. " We wanted to apoligize for our behavor it was uncalled for and
we didn't know what came over us." Glimmer explained. I motioned my hoof to move on. "We don't know what came over us
but we think it had something to do with the fact that when Lenni saw you he loved you the minute he saw you." I gave away nothing and Glimmer
cotinuted to talk. "we has been trying to get his attention and try to get him go out with one of us for the past 3 months. " Ugh TELL ME ABOUT IT THE
ENDLESS FLIRTING HA BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE!" Millennium exclaimed. I giggled. I cleared my throat. "" again I never got to finish before the cloud door slammed shut. I screamed. Shine was standing in the
door way menacingly. . I hid behind Millennium. The wall formed again and Shimmer and Glimmer
were on the side looking terrified. "Get away from the her!" Shine snapped. But they stood their ground. Shine looked at her other sisters and smiled
"COME OVER HERE NOW SHIMMER GLIMMER!" she shouted. Shimmer and glimmer got up and walked over to the wall that was protecting me. "What is
wrong with you Shine? Why are you like this?" Shimmer shouted with tears rolling down her cheeks. I moved up to the front of the wall show that i was
face to face with the one who hated me the most. "this has to stop!" I shouted at her. Two more ponies came up behind shine but then i noticed their
eye color. One pony's eye color was a bright amber and red when it should be brown. Another's was a Deep blue when it should be green. Shine looked at me
right in the eye and her eyes glowed green for a second. I realized what was going on this is why my parents kept me inside this whole time. I
whispered into the air MoM, Dad, Celestia, Luna,, elements of harmony, Sisters, if you are there please come and hurry.
Back at the Canterlot Castle.
Nightshade POV
I was reading a book when a hear a voice in the back of my head. I wasn't just any voice it was my sister's voice. Sister if you can hear this please get
Mom DAD Celestia Luna The Elements of Harmony and come to The Cloud House in the side f the hill and please hurry! The voice was as clear as day. I
Rushed off to the dining hall where I knew everypony would be gathered. I flew as fast as i Could. When I reached the bottom everyone was staring at
me. They knew something was wrong. "Hurry no time to explain Moonbeam is in trouble and something about Old foes are there we gotta go!" Tears were streaming
Down my face as I said those words. "Where Nightshade?" Celestia asked. "Come on I will show you the way there is no time to waste!" I shot out
the door with the others close behind me. We are coming hold on sister be strong. I whispered into the night breeze as it was carried away by the
wind.
MOONBEAMS POV
Shine was staring at me intently just waiting for something to happen. I hear my sister's voice to hold on and stay strong. This gave me new strength.
The cloud door swung open and My mom,dad the princesses, Cadence, Shining armor, The elements of harmony and my sister NIghtshade all walked
in the room.A huge smile spread across my face. I spoke. "Chrysalis, Night Mare Moon , Discord how are you?" They looked startled. The ponies behind
me gasped. Three bright tubes of errie green light engulfed them and turned them into their original forms. "Well well well somepony finally figured it
out, took you long enough" Chrysalis sneered. Rarity was now very mad. "What did you do to my precious little Shine!" Discord snapped his fingers and
Shine appeared hypnotized. Shimmer screamed. Rarity seeing her eldest daughter like this screeched "Unhand her you ruffian or you will regret it."
Night Mare Moon laughed. the her face was all evil seriousness. "I don't think so Rarity!" Nightmare precaughtioned. Discord snapped his fingers and
Shine was gone. I calmly said "What do you want with me?" Chrysalis hissed "you have a something that we want! THere was a deadly silence. Only
one sentance could be heard. "Its On."
