And as a reply to Mariah's questions:
*I was thinking that Tanya's Mother would have died from some internal problem. However, she hadn't committed suicide.
*I plan for Tanya to remain a human
*I do not plan for Tanya to have any magic, although I am considering a few unique non magic abilities.
On the train Starspear and I had little, if any, conversation. Every thirty seconds I shifted nervously.
I focused my attention on the window.
Outside the world was quiet, lush meadows and seemingly endless green fields passed quickly. Finally the train pulled to a stop.
"This is our stop." Starspear informed me.
The two of us rose and left the train.
I followed Starspear through Ponyville. The place was lively with several ponies on it's dirt paths, walking in twos, threes and more, cheerfully talking about life and so forth.
After a short time, we stopped at a house tree. Starspear went up to the door and knocked.
A small green and purple bird with a party hat on his head opened the door.
"Uh, you'd like to talk to Twilight, right? Uh, I'll just, um, go get her! Yeah. Um." He stuttered before hurrying off.
After a couple minutes Twilight came to the door. She smiled.
"You're here." She directed her words to Starspear. "You're welcome to stay with me, if you'd like."
Starspear shook her head. "It's practically time for the Summer Sun Celebration, and after that, I'm going straight back to Cantrolot. Thank you for your generosity." And with that she left.
"If you want, you can go celebrate with them..." Twilight trailed off.
"I'd rather not, if you don't mind."
She nodded. "If you want you can come to my room."
"Okay, thank you." I followed her silently, luckily for me, we went unnoticed.
We entered a dark room, it's walls lined with books. There was a bunk bed next to the window.
"You can sleep here." Twilight told me gesturing to the lower bed. "Although technically you're not supposed to sleep tonight, because of the Sumner Sun Celebration."
"Well, I'm no big fan."
Her violet eyes flashed over to me in surprise. "Why not?"
"The Summer Sun Celebration is pretty much a huge party celebrating the banishment of Princess Luna to the moon."
"Are you referring to Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.
I nodded. "It angers me that Celestia doesn't have more compation for her sister." I finished.
Twilight nodded. "Do you anything about Nightmare Moon?"
"Yes." I paused. "I think you might have a run in with her."
Twilight gazed at me thoughtfully. "I think we should go to the Sumner Sun Celebration now."
She called Spike and we went to the place where the Summer Sun Celebration was being held.
I tried to stay low profile as Twilight chose a spot to stand.
I watched Mayor Mare give a loud speak before declaring:
"Princess Celestia!"
Her words were followed by a bird fanfare and Rarity pulled open a red curtain.
"She's gone!" Rarity and I gasped simultaneously. I bit my tongue to prevent myself from having a fit of laughter. I was thoroughly enjoying the replay of a my little pony episode, except in real life.
It seemed that several black and blue smoke bombs went off on stage. A majestic dark blue alicorn in armor stepped through the smoke and faced the frightened crowd.
"Do any of you know who I am?"
