Chapter 2
Twilight was the only pony that didn't enjoy the train ride to Canterlot. Not only did she worry about her brother, but she felt bad for leaving Spike in Ponyville. She had asked him to stay behind o watch the library while she was in Canterlot, as well as watch Owlowisious, and the other pets. She couldn't tell whether the train ride was taking her farther away from her brother, or closer to him. Nevertheless, she was confident that this trip would give her the answers she needed.
"Ya ok, sugar cube?" Applejack asked, a sound of worry in her voice.
"I'm not sure AJ," Twilight said. "I guess I'm just hoping that this trip gets me the answer I need."
The rest of the train ride went smoothly, until a blinding flash of green light engulfed the entire train.
Unregistered by the ponies, Princess Celestia noticed what was happening from her chamber in Canterlot Castle. She then realized that the worst possible thing was happening. She summoned Princess Luna to her chamber.
"Something terrible is happening, my sister" she said, with worry in her voice. "What we feared could happen, is happening."
"What do we do, big sister." Luna said, trembling. Even though she just asked the question, she already knew the answer. They would have to fly down and save the ponies.
And in almost no time at all, the two princesses flew down to the train, and saved the six ponies.
After being safely brought to the courtyard, Applejack asked, almost yelling, "What in tarnation just happened?" unable to answer, Twilight kept quiet, which Rarity noticed.
"Twilight, darling, you've been awfully quiet, is anything wrong?" Rarity asked, with a caring tone.
"Yeah Twilight, You ok? Are ya? Are ya? Are ya?" Pinkie Pie asked, trying to lighten the mood.
Everypony waited for Twilight to answer, and when she didn't, Princess Celestia asked for everypony to leave, except Luna and Twilight.
"What is troubling you, my faithful student?" Princess Celestia asked, already knowing the answer.
After thinking for a few minutes, Twilight finally spoke. "I miss him, Princess. I miss Cutler."
"You are not the the only one, Twilight Sparkle, is she Luna?" Princess Celestia asked.
As she thought, Princess Luna was turning a shade of pink, one that Twilight had never seen on her before. As Princess Celestia opened her mouth to speak, Luna blurted out, "the last time he was here, we spent lots of time together, and we both developed feelings for each other they weren't strong at first, but over the time he was here, they grew stronger."
Now knowing why Princess Luna was worried about Cutler, Twilight began thinking of so many things all at once, like "why he hadn't come to visit her in Ponyville, whenever he was home," "why he never contacted her, telling her he was ok," "what kind of assignment Princess Celestia had him working on," and " what the blinding green light was that had engulfed their train."
As if reading Twilight's mind, Princess Celestia Spoke. "He never came to visit you, because whenever he was home, he was either doing research with Luna, visiting your parents, or helping with the Royal Guard. With Shining Armor ruling The Crystal Empire with Cadence, they need all the help they can get. He never contacted you, because the assignment I gave him was TOP SECRET, the only other pony that knows is Luna. He didn't contact you, because he didn't want to leak what his assignment was and make you worry. And as for the green light. That is something that Luna and I have been dreading for a long time. We will tell you when the time comes. Now run along, your friends are waiting for you."
