The Sun was just rising over the land of Equestria when a shout rang out from the land.
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Many of the ponies and other animals of the land began to wake up as the sounds traveled through the land.

Birds began flying by the majestic waterfalls as the orange sky made the water glitter and the foam white as snow. Manticores stomped with the tall white mountains behind them, their mains as red as the sun and bodies strong as a rock.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
They had all arrived in Ponyville just as Flash Sentry was looking off the balcony of the Golden Oaks Library. Pinkie Pie had just climbed up the tree to deliver a message.
"Message for Flash Sentry!" she yelled. Flash jumped and turned around to see Pinkie Pie hanging upside down from a branch.
"How are you doing- never mind it's just Pinkie," Flash said. Even after living in Ponyville for a few weeks, he still wasn't used to Pinkie Pie's randomness. 'Just hope I don't have to have her babysit' he thought to himself.
"Just letting you know that Princess Celestia is on her way here," Pinkie explained. Flash nodded his head and turned his attention back to the crowd. He noticed a large number of them making way until Celestia was in sight. She opened her large majestic wings and glided up to the balcony. When she arrived, both Flash and Pinkie bowed their heads.
"You two don't have to bow to me," she explained. "Flash, your royalty and Pinkie, your Twilight's friend so no formalities alright?" she asked. The two nodded their heads.
"I suppose you would like to see the little guy?" Flash asked Celestia.
"Yes I would," she answered. Flash led her into the library where Twilight was taking care of a young pony. The young pony had purple fur, just like his mother, and green hair that was spiked up in different directions. The peaceful look on his face made his mother shed tears of happiness. Twilight heard Flash and Pinkie walk in with Celestia.
"It's great to see you again Celestia," said Twilight. Celestia nodded and turned to the young foal. He had just opened one of his eyes to Celestia. They were as green as the grass, and held as much life as Celestia and Luna when they were kids. Celestia took note of the small horn on his head. What really caught her attention, was a small set of wings.
"A baby Alicorn," she said. "I haven't seen one in over 1,000 years. Not since Luna was that young. This is a special occasion indeed if almost all of Equestria is here to see this," she explained to them. She turned her attention back to the young one and held out a small toy for him as he rose his hooves to try and get it.
"He was awake most of the night exploring the library," explained Twilight. Her eyelids were about to close just as a bucket of iced cold water was dumped on her. "PINKIE!"
"Just trying to keep you awake," Pinkie told her with a giant smile on her face. Celestia let out a small chuckle before going serious.
"Have you two decided on a name?" she asked Twilight and Flash. The two parents turned to each other and smiled.
"We decided to name him, Spike," Flash told her. Celestia smiled at the parents.
"A very fitting name, considering his mane," she laughed. The other three laughed while Spike looked around wondering what was so funny. "I believe it's time for Equestria to meet it's newest prince". She levitated him up and brought him out to the balcony. When she reached the end, she held him to the sky as everyone down below cheered for the new prince.

Sun light broke through the sky and shown on Spike as everyone bowed to him.
Till we find our place

"Welcome to the world, Prince Spike," Celestia said. The two parents stood proud in the doorway to the library as their son was introduced to the world. Celestia returned Spike back to his crib and turned to the parents again. "You do know that more than likely, he'll be betrothed to Rarity's younger sister". she explained.
"We'll just have to wait and see how they get along first," Twilight told her.
"I'll be back in a few days to see how he's doing," she opened her wings and got ready to fly when she said something else. "I will have to make sure Blueblood doesn't try anything to Spike". With that, she began her journey back to Canterlot. Pinkie went back to Sugarcube Corner to help with the rest of the festivities as Twilight went to lay down next to her son.
"I love you, Spike," Twilight told his as she stayed there with him the rest of the day.
