[Diary Writer: Spike (Day 14)]

Today was crazy! Lapis and I almost died doing something stupid. It started when we decided to traverse through the Canterlot mines, which is a place Twilight got send to by Chrysalis during the wedding between Shining Armor and Cadence. I wanted to go there with Lapis to gather a bunch of gems for a gem cake I never got the chance to bake. The place was once inhabited by unicorn miners who succumb to greed. It has also been forgotten by everypony else before, and after Galaxy came to this world.

This makes it the perfect place to get some of those succulent gems! It was summer too, so I can pair my gem cake with some ice cream! Still, I was just hoping I didn't succumb to greed down there. (Dragons tend to do that...) Sadly, I jinxed it when I found something I shouldn't have messed with.

Deep in the mines there was an odd looking pond that made a perfect circle. It looked quite deep too, and that caused me to do the stupid act that almost caused us our lives. Lapis invented a magical pouch to carry all the gems we need, so I took one of the gems we collected from there to see how deep this pond was. The moment the gem hit the water, from the ripple came out a nice looking mare in an elegant white dress. In her hooves she had two gems.

One of them was the one I threw, which was purple by the way, and the other one was blue. She asked us which gems we threw on the water; "Was it the purple one, or the blue one?" You may call me crazy here, but that blue gem looked absolutely mouthwatering! I NEEDED that for my cake. But I'm an honest dragon through and through, so I answered with the one I threw.

For some strange reason, the strange mare complemented my honesty, and she gave me both the purple AND BLUE GEM!!!

Things got south from here...

We understood that if we answer to the mare honestly for the things we threw in the pond, we can get better things. Long story short, we threw everything we had...

Let me skip to the consequences. Yes, the pond was cursed. We heard about it though some voices that became louder the more gems we chugged in the water. The voices were from the spirits of the miners that got stuck for not fulfilling "certain rules" of the pond. They told us that if we're not able to completely waste all of the things we've gained from the pond by sunset, we will be trapped in the walls of the mines for all eternity!

The same goes for the original gems we threw in the pond. We literally had to consume EVERYTHING without exception! To say it was hard to waste those gems would be the equivalent of saying "hard" isn't solid enough. This pond had a CRAZY set of rules! It also had a rule that items gained through exchange with other ponies will also become cursed items, so we had to get rid of those items too!

And if we gifted or threw away our gems or traded items, we could fell to the curse immediately! Which means we have to do equivalent exchanges to the point nothing remains! Flat out OXYMORONICK!!!

We did a lot of stuff to waste these gems. I ate a bunch of them, specially the good ones, and Lapis wasted some on the most expensive restaurants around Canterlot. It still wasn't enough to brake the curse, we were probably around 8X more richer than the GDP of Manehattan! There was absolutely no way we could waste this many gems on one day. That is until a great idea came to our mind.

GAMBLING!!!

We immediately flew to Las Pegasus, played lots of table games, and joined luxurious parties. We literally wasted tons of money on things that don't last long. And we were wasting it fast because we did risky bets with high chances of losing. This didn't count as an unfair trade, because we knew that, although slim, there was always a chance to win big... and... yeah... there was...

We decided to go off with a big bang! So we grabbed everything we had, and placed it on the roulette table. We've already gained a reputation around Las Pegasus for wasting our money like the world was gonna end. So a full crowd of spectators from everywhere we went, gathered at the table to see us lose it all! This was going to be our fairy tale ending, where the curse gets lifted thanks to the support of all the ponies we met along the way.

But it had to go wrong somehow! You see, Lapis unlock an ability when the roulette dealer tossed the ball. She gained Observation Haki, a power Galaxy uses from time to time. And with that power, she figured out that the dealer was actually rigging us clean off our gems! The ball had a predetermined place it was going to land, and because of that, we knew we had an 100% chance of losing! Which meant we were practically braking a rule by wilfully throwing our money away!

If we lost that bet, the curse would have activated, and I wouldn't be here writing this today! Luckily Lapis acted fast, and changed our original number and color to the one the ball was going to land on. When the ball landed on that spot, the crowd roar loudly at our first success in the casino.

The amount of bits we won in the roulette was such a high amount, if the casino were to give us that money now, it would put them on bankruptcy. We literally had enough money to curse all valuable things in Equestria if we bought them.

I'm gonna stop writing here. The amount of hoops we needed to go through to waste all that money we gained is enough to cause inflation, and it did. I cannot thank Princess Celestia enough for providing support to the casino to get us the money, and also for helping us waste it. We also saved the miners from their curse for fulfilling the conditions of the pond. Quite a happy ending to this whole ordeal.

Moral of the story: Don't be greedy, or a ghost may come and GET YA!!!


[Diary Writer: Luna (Day 15)]

On this snowy day, I went with my sister to a place called Soft Venture. Celestia told me she came here when Lapistoria suffered a panic attack, and I do have to admit, this place is soothing. Sweet bread smells soo nice, truly an intoxicating aroma. Descriptions aside, my sister brought me to this place to talk about her concerns. We're about halfway through the deadline, and we haven't made a move yet.

She is starting to regret bringing Lapistoria to this world. To her, it feels as if her problems have doubled now that there are two humans in Equestria. My sister went over all the possibilities, and not a single one leads to a favorable aftermath. Equestria needs to lose many things before it can go back to normal, but losing those things for the sake of the world isn't worth living through it all. It saddens me to see my sister concern over an unknown future, even worse hearing her preferring death over it.

Celestia is hiding large amounts of doubt in her heart. I can't blame her for keeping it all to herself. I wouldn't want to express my feelings if it may lower moral. However, I don't believe I'm the appropriate pony to bare the truth of her doubts. If there's a pony that must listen to her, that pony needs to be Lapistoria.

Eventually, we stopped talking about grim topics, and went on a walk around Canterlot to get some of those bad thoughts to drift away. If I remembered correctly, this helped Shining Armor for a while... before he died... Sorry, it's hard not to be pessimistic when bad things refuse to stop. Not as if today anything bad happened, we just experience hardship constantly. When a day like this appears, we must treasure every single second to the fullest.

I love my sister more than I let on, and I can tell the feeling is mutual.

If she's sad, I'm sad...

If she's angry, I'm angry...

If she's happy, I'm happy...

That is why I have to... no... I NEED to make sure my sister is in the right state of mind. There might be moments where we don't understand each other, but the truth of the matter is; My moon can't be in the sky without her sun...


[Diary Writer: Spike (Day 16)]

I just came up with the most greatest idea that has ever been idea'd. Yeah, it failed in the long run, but I'm going to write it here because it almost worked. It has to do with the pond we found the other day. I talked to Lapis about it, and she was fully on board with my plan. The idea was; What if we could trick Galaxy into throwing many things into the pond! If we succeed, by sunset Galaxy will be trapped by the walls of the mines for all eternity!

We couldn't let that chance go to waste, You know we had to do it to em! WE HAD TO!!! Our plan went into motion when we took a train to Ponyville. This was Lapis first time here, so she got to see the difference between the kind outgoing ponies of Las Pegasus, and the idiot horse shoe lickers of Ponyville. There're no stallions in here at all! Probably they all got eviscerated by Galaxy for being males. I can just imagine it; "This town ain't big enough for all of us, partners... 死ぬ!"

Anyways, we got to the castle and met Twilight. Three days pregnant and she looks like she's about to burst! She was mad at Lapis for "possessing" the princesses, and demanded her to return them back to normal. Lapis wasn't doing such a thing, but she humor her a bit by saying "they'll never be freed from the curse she inflicted." I find it funny how Lapis has an easy time insulting any pony that isn't Galaxy. Twilight's face got super red with anger.

Aside from that, Galaxy came out, Lapis argued with him a little, the usual. He can't see me, so Lapis has to convince him on her own to go to the mines. We thought it was going to be extremely difficult to persuade him. But by some inexplicable act of fate, she actually managed to sway Galaxy into following us to the cave. I think it was his bordom pushing common sense aside.

The point is, she got him to come with us. We got back to the cave where we had everything set up. We had a pile of gems close to the pond, and since the miners were saved, Galaxy was not going to get any hints. The funny thing about this was how Lapis got Galaxy to throw those gems into the water. It was super simple; All she did was invent a game, the one that gets to throw the most gems into the pond in one go, wins. Loser's a rotten egg.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Galaxy won by a long short. He even gathered more gems than the ones we had ready for him. Lapis didn't even got to play at all, it was amazing!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. When the "Maiden of the Pond" came out to ask Galaxy what he dropped, she immediately fail in love with him. Not only did she told him the rules, but she also removed some of them to make it easier on him! The rules she took out were; The rule where you cannot gift anything, and the rule where items gained from exchange become cursed.

Galaxy had infinite leeway, and he took good advantage of it. When we went out of the cave, Galaxy put most of his gems on a charity for orphan fillies and colts. And the rest of the gems he waste them on gifts for his pregnant girlfriends. Yeah, it was maddening to see Galaxy profit out of our attempt to defeat him.

But that's just how life is when he's on the wheel... It just goes his way...

I forgot to write this, today was a spring day...


[Diary Writer: Celestia (Day 17)]

This day didn't had anything bad happen to us in particular, but bad things did indeed happened. We all woke up to the sight of an autumn day, so I talked to Spike about Galaxy to confirm he didn't had an urge to kill yesterday. Spike made sure to tell me in detail that he was extremely satisfied yesterday, in fact, he was thankful. I still wasn't going to risk Lapistoria's well being on a hunch, so I brought it on to myself to be by side her for the entire day.

Spike was right, Galaxy didn't had the intention to go after her. I'll write his true motives on the final paragraphs of my diary entry. For now I'll talk about my day with Lapistoria. We weren't in the greatest terms her and I. There was still something keeping us distant from each other, something Spike and Luna have, but not me...

On the day we went to Baltimare together, a connection between us was forged briefly on the train station. Today however, I felt like a mother seeing her daughter go through a rebellious phase. At the time, I couldn't tell if autumn was getting in over her head, or if I was being a bother to her? In the end it was none of those things. It has to do with her identity as a human, and how she doesn't know who she is.

She actually had a good way to describe it. I believe it went along the lines of: "I feel like a nothing trying to do something that can't be done in a world that says I can." I understood the pressure we put on her was heavy, but not by this much. It was as if she didn't felt worthy to be here. And yes, I will admit that she is not a chosen one, but aside from that, I do believe she's becoming quite capable.

I had her come to my room in order to have a heart to heart. We put our doubts on the table, and we began to form another connection. I think she was happy to know we're both agitated ponies. I even told her I was always scared of her, she was pretty surprised to know that about me. The thought of her betraying us to seek the same type of satisfaction as Galaxy, had me regretting ever bringing her here.

But now, I feel my fears are fading away. I have no idea why I ever felt doubtful of her convictions. It's all going to be ok, I don't need to worry anymore.

Now for what happened today. Galaxy didn't want to kill Lapistoria. He instead stepped out of his comfort zone, and traveled to Yakyakistan to do a Yak genocide. Yaks no longer exists in the land of Equestria, he massacre them to the point of extinction. That's the second race Galaxy has completely erase from the face of Equestria.

He's now lacking; Griffons, Dragons, Hippogriffs, Kirins... You know what, anything that can talk in general! I hope that doesn't happen. Before Galaxy, came to this world, Twilight work with all her heart and soul to understand everyone in Equestria regardless of who they were. It will be a big disappointment if everything Twilight build so far perished at the hooves of the one she's engaged with. Then again... The School of Friendship doesn't exist anymore...


[Diary Writer: Celestia (Day 18)]

I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN! Twilight and her friends gave birth today, and Galaxy wrote a letter to me asking if I could come over with my sister. Spike never knows when to stop opening letters, guess you could say "Curiosity killed the dragon." (Spike is fine, he's not dead.) I'll glue it to the diary as a form of remembrance to anypony who ever dares open letters from them...

"Dear Celly, it is my pleasure to inform you that today has been going poggers. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy are going through the possess of giving birth. 私はほとんど待つことができません, this is a day to be remember till the end of Equestria. And I want you and Lulu to come over and see it happen."

"BTW, you don't need to worry about the princess possession plot point. I retcon it so that they don't remember you are under the filly's influence. So you and Lulu can come here without making things cringe. We're in Ponyville hospital, お会いできるのを楽しみにしています

Under normal circumstances, there was absolutely no way something like this could convince me of going. Ok, when I say it like that, it almost sounds as if I don't want to see my fateful student become a mother. But did it really had to be with him out of all ponies!? Lulu was... Sorry, the letter messed with my brain. What I meant to say is that Luna was the curious one out of all of us, and insisted we go to assess the situation.

I had no idea what was going over her mind at the time. However, there was no reason to reject my sister's woes, so we went to Ponyville for the sake of doing it.

Was it worth it?: Not even a little

Our day was spent being outside of the operation room, hearing the once proud Elements scream Galaxy's name continuously. Speaking of which, Galaxy was sitting in between us trying to hold his laughter. "Truly a day to be remembered till the end of Equestria." The experience was soo awful, I annoyed my sister constantly by asking her if I was having a nightmare. My sanity slowly falling apart the more she denied my denial.

It only took 8 hours since we got here, but alas, it is done. We went inside to check and-

Alicorns

They are all alicorns, and they are girls. How didn't I saw this coming? I forgot Galaxy hates stallions more than the Yaks and Changelings. This was painful, I had to make an excuse to go home. Unfortunately, Luna wanted to know more about the babies, so she asked for their names. Here they are... the names... the babies... the alicorns...

Twilight = Hoshi

Fluttershy = Himawari

Rainbow Dash = Sora

Applejack = Ringo

Pinkie Pie = Hanabi

Rarity = Kagayaku

Spike, Luna, go to this section of this entity every time you forget their names. I'll be coming here a few couple of times to get them engraved into my memory.

After getting their names, I grabbed my sister and flew back to the castle. I have to process what happened today, so I'll cut this entry short. I just hope I don't have to write anything tomorrow too.


[Diary Writer: Celestia (Day 19)]

The day was mediocre at best. The only thing worth mentioning was that Galaxy came over to Canterlot to request for a Grand Galoping Gala. And when he means "request", it's actually a warning. We don't need to put any input into preparing the party, it will all be ready by tomorrow. He'll even bring the guards back to make the castle look... "aesthetically pleasing."

I swear, Galaxy's uncle hit his head with a stupid stick. He left us on that note, and now we have to prepare to celebrate the foundation of Canterlot on a day that isn't suppose to happen... fun...

I apologize for writing again, and also for making this entity short. Not all days can be adventures, (I've read your entries Spike.) But that's how days go.

I only wish days like this could happen more often...
