Sorry for the delay, I didn't have much luck searching for shinies Pokémon in Legends Arceus or Violet.
CHAPTER 2
Double Celebration
Equestria: Horseshoe Bay
The Aetherian Aircraft landed in the sea, the humans who are transformed into ponies and other quadrupedal creatures practiced walking on four legs, meanwhile Caeli and Kibou are reading books of math and basic english.
"Caeli." The innocence's Digidestined heard her mom calling her.
"Kibou." The faith's Digidestined also heard his mom calling him.
Both children approached their moms, the scene was very heartwarming.
"Are you done with your book, sweetie?" Eva asked her daughter and Caeli nodded before Eva came beside her. "Good."
"Are you finished, darling?" Alyanna asked and Kibou nodded with a giggle.
*DOWN TO THE SUN (BASED FROM DOWN TO THE FROM "THE LITTLE MERMAID 2)*
They looked out the window, feeling wonderful that they could spend this time, she began to vocalize, unbeknownst to them, the Zodiacs and Elementals watched as they heard the song.
"Oh no. Not a disney song." Aries said.
"Quick Capricorn, make a soundproof bubble." Leo said as Capricorn quicked casted a soundproof bubble around Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10.
"Unless Kibou is spending time with his mom." Assana commented.
"And the same I say with Caeli." Aaron added as they heard Caeli and Kibou giggling.
[Eva and Alyanna]
You are my world, my darling.
What a wonderful world I see.
You are the song I'm singing.
You're my beautiful melody.
Then a small wave hit the side of the ship, making Caeli and Kibou look out with excitement, just then Adan and King Noah appeared opening the door.
[Adan and King Noah]
Darling, we better be going.
[Eva and Alyanna]
Look at her/him, isn't she/he glowing?
[Adan and King Noah]
She/He looks divine, and you look exquisite.
But look at the time.
[Eva and Alyanna]
Couldn't be, is it?
They began heading out on deck as the crew (guardians and sailors are ponies too) and some of the team members began singing.
[Guard]
The crew is awaiting your orders.
[Crew]
We've sailed away from the borders.
Steady, boy, steady.
Ahoy there, she's coming.
Trumpeters ready, drummers start drumming.
The trumpets began playing as Aria and Caleb appeared and approached Caeli and Kibou before carrying their respective minor siblings in their backs.
[Aria]
Down to the sun we go.
Down to Equestria come.
There's never been, not seen before,
Children like you come to this world.
[Team members; minus Zodiacs and Elementals]
Down to the sun we go.
Down to Equestria come.
A journey to bless, adventure to be
Under the sun, and above this land.
Very far from the vessel, Pinkie Pie was seeing through her binoculars, she gasped happily as she recognized Aria and the others and started to call the other ponies.
[Pinkie Pie]
Aria's coming.
[Dr. Hooves]
Aria's coming.
The pink party pony galloped to call more ponies.
[Pinkie Pie]
Aria's coming.
[Octavia Melody, Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon in order]
Aria's coming, Aria's coming, Aria's coming.
She continued calling to everypony.
[Pinkie Pie]
Aria's coming.
[Everypony]
Aria's coming.
[Pinkie Pie]
Aria's coming.
[Apple Family]
Aria's coming.
[Everypony]
Aria's coming, Aria's coming.
Then the Lord Chaos himself, Discord, appeared hearing the music and decided to join in too.
[Discord]
What's all the big commotion,
That's spreading through this world,
From sea to shining land?
There is no hesitating,
Today we're celebrating,
World-dwelling melodies.
Today when real world dwellers
Comes here into these lands,
We're gonna have a spree.
The vessel is nearer now.
I think I hear them now:
World-dwelling melodies.
Not only ponies like earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi were joining, also yaks, griffins, changelings, dragons, hippogriffs, cows, bisons, kirins and even the crystal ponies.

[Every creature]
Up from the land we rise.
Up to the magic land.
There's never been, not seen before,
Fillies like them from the shore.
Derpy appeared flying before landing in the mast of the Aether Aircraft but she slipped and crashed in the mast, but she shook her head recovering herself before seeing with a smile at the group of heroes.
[Every creature]
Up from the land we rise.
Up to the magic land.
Forever to be, together as one,
In Equestria, and under the sun.
Back in the aircraft, the younger members were fascinated at the arrival of many creatures in a land of magic and harmony, Caeli and Kibou were more excited as they are close to Aria and Caleb.
[Aria]
This is the world, little ones.
A world of harmony.
My hope for you for always,
Is that your hearts will love this land.
While Aria was singing, a yellow hippogriff landed who is named Princess Skystar she saw Caeli and Kibou who greeted innocently at the hippogriff princess who couldn't help but smile warmly at the two innocent ponified humans, then they saw Queen Novo along with Celestia, Luna and Cadence landing to meet the heroes, every creature in Equestria bowed before the rulers, knowing that it is a special situation, all the heroes bowed before the rulers of this world.
[Everyone (only Navie from the Sphere Warriors joined), minus Zodiacs and Elementals who just stood there smiling warmly at their sight of Caeli and Kibou fascinated]
Down to the sun we go. (Up from the land.)
Down to the world we know. (Up from the land.)
Together we come, forever to be,
Under one sun…
As every creature was singing, Celestia noticed Caeli and Kibou, even Novo saw them, the princess of the sun patted both Caeli and Kibou who giggled a bit in delight and Celestia smiled brightly, then Twilight nodded to Rainbow Dash who did her Sonic Rainboom forming a rainbow.
[Everyone, minus Zodiacs and Elementals]
The land of Equestria.
*ENDS*
Then the soundproof bubble was deactivated as everyone cheered and clapped, the Zodiacs and Elementals couldn't help but clap too, Adelaine drew some petals making to fall above Caeli and Kibou who couldn't help but giggle in delight.
"It's my first time meeting you two, Caeli and Kibou, am I right?" Queen Novo asked the two younger members.
"Yeah, but how did you know about us?" Kibou asked.
"I told Queen Novo about the arrival, even about your families." Celestia said before adding. "Also I'm impressed to see the first male alicorn here in Equestria."
"A lot of time has passed since I've seen you two, Aria and Caleb." Queen Novo said, recognizing the two humans transformed into ponies.
"It's true." Aria said and just then Princess Skystar landed at the left side of Queen Novo.
"Hi, nice to meet you four, I'm Princess Skystar." Skystar introduced herself in front of the four children.
"She is my daughter." Queen Novo answered warmly knowing that Aria and Caleb have their families.
"Those two are your minor siblings, they look so cute." Skystar said, referring to Caeli and Kibou.
"Thank you." Caeli said innocently while Kibou said it with a timid smile.
Eventually the vessel arrived at the shore where the group was speaking with many of the guests, for example Brock and Sanji were speaking with three unicorn mares named Minuette (blue one), Twinkleshine (white with pink mane) and Lemon Hearts (yellow with blue mane) while make Dizzy angry.
"It's a pleasure to meet you three." Brock said flirtily.
"Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts." Sanji said flirtily too.
"Pretty ponies with wonderful names." Brock continued.
"Would you three like to go on a date with us during this meeting?" Sanji offered them.
But suddenly Croagunk appeared behind Brock and Sanji before using Poison Jab on them and dropped painfully to the ground, just after that Max pulled Brock by the ear while Misty did the same with Sanji and both pulled them away while the three mares couldn't help but sweat-drop.
"Even in this world, some things never change." Max sighed.
"You're right, Max." Misty added in agreement.
Somewhere, Bonnie was speaking with three mares called Daisy, Roseluck and Lily Valley.
"Excuse me, could you please take care of my brother?" Bonnie asked them.
"Bonnie, I told you a million times to stop it!" Clemont exclaimed as used the Aipom arm to carry Bonnie away while the ponies couldn't help but sweat-drop in an awkward expression on their faces.
Now with Ash's Oshawott, Chespin and Stan, the three were in front of three fillies called Toola Roola, Coconut Cream and Starsong with bouquet of flowers.
"This is for you." Ash's Oshawott said.
"For you." Chespin added.
"For three adorable fillies like you." Stan finished.
But suddenly Snivy appeared using Vine Whip to pull Oshawott and Chespin away while Sandy used her ribbon to pull Stan away.
"Sorry, but the flirt time is over." Snivy said as Sandy nodded in agreement.
"I guess they were already." Toola Roola said as Coconut Cream and Starsong giggled in agreement.
Some of the team members were speaking to each other.
"You know, Kagome? Everytime I hear you speaking, you remind me a lot of Laura, the one who takes care of me." Hamtaro said as he was in the head of Kagome.
"I didn't know that." Kagome said, a bit surprised knowing that Diamond Tiara and Bijou have the same voices.
"Is that AI Yakovich?" Dot asked as she saw Cheese Sandwich from afar.
"His stage name is Weird AI Yakovich, a famous musician that looks like Cheese Sandwich and even has the same voice, his human counterpart enjoys making parodies of different songs, ridiculous music videos, and even dressing up in ridiculous outfits." Aries explained.
"The ponies named Quibble Pants, Clear Skies and even Wind Sprint have the same voices from our parents and our little sister too." Ila said as Rei nodded in agreement.
In another part Sango sat on the ground, she couldn't help but smile sadly when she saw Aria with her little brother.
"Sango, is something bothering you?" Starlight asked.
"It's nothing." Sango answered.
"That didn't sound like nothing." Starlight said and Sango sighed.
"Everytime when I see Aria with Kibou, it reminds me at my little brother Kohaku, unfortunately Naraku used my little brother against me, he died being shot by arrows but then he was resurrected by Naraku and he killed him again after removing a shard of the Shikon Jewel from him, fortunately Kikyo's spirit and when Naraku was destroyed, all the peace in the period Sengoku returned but…" Sango was explaining to Starlight who couldn't help but feel bad for her.
"You're worried that something bad might happen to Kibou since he reminds you of your little brother Kohaku." Starlight said.
"Yes…" Sango answered with a sad smile but then Starlight hugged her side to side. "Thank you, Starlight."
"No problem, that's what friends are for." Starlight said with a smile of understanding.
Somewhere, Meilin managed to stand on her two hind legs before taking Kung Fu poses.
"It's hard to believe that Meilin can stand on two legs." Lan said as he watched her.
"Hey little one." Meilin heard a voice making her yelp in surprise and fell to the ground, then the one who called her revealed herself as a magenta-colored mare with three flowers as Cutie Mark. "Oh my goodness, are you okay?"
"Lan, is it me or that pony sounded like your mom?" Mega asked him.
"She really sounded like her." Lan replied while back with Meilin.
"I'm okay, miss…" Meilin said as she managed to get up.
"Cheerilee." Cheerilee answered.
"I was practicing my poses of Kung Fu." Meilin replied.
"That explains the meaning of your Cutie Mark, I have to admit that it looks amazing." Cheerilee said.
"Thank you." Meilin said with a smile at the compliment.
The same pony named Derpy crashed in the ground as Pashmina came to check her.
"Are you okay?" Pashmina asked the crossed-eyes pegasus who managed to stand up.
"I'm okay, but I'm used to crashing." Derpy said as Pashmina could see her crossed eyes but she decided to not ask about that not wanting to hurt her feelings.
"Be careful next time." Pashmina told her gently.
"Thank you." Derpy said before taking flight.
Spike the dragon sat in the ground looking at Rarity lovingly until Future Trunks was with him.
"Huh? Hey Trunks." Spike the dragon greeted him.
"Hello Spike." Future Trunks said before noticing him that he is seeing the Wielder of the Element of Generosity. "I see you're in love with her."
"What…!?" Spike the dragon exclaimed quietly.
"Don't worry, when I was about your age…" Future Trunks said before whispering in the young drake's ear.
"Wow…" Spike the dragon gasped quietly.
Yakko watched from afar.
"Spike the dragon and Present Trunks in the ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z share the same voice, it's like Future Trunks is talking with his past self." Yakko commented.
In another part, Mega Man was with Fluttershy who had some birds on her back, even scratching Rush below his chin.
"I see you're good with the animals." Mega Man said.
"Thanks, Mega Man." Fluttershy said.
"You know, I could bet that Roll will love visiting this world." Mega Man said. "I'm really sure she will."
"That's good to know because I would like to meet your friend." Fluttershy said as she patted Mega Man's head.
In another part, Bubbles was close to Twilight and also was close to Aria and Kibou.
"Apart from being very curious about knowing the technology of your world, I'm surprised that Kibou has been morphed into a male alicorn." Twilight said as she was petting Kibou in his head.
The young prince felt very comfortable with Aria petting him.
"So, is it true that you and my sister are closest friends?" Kibou asked and Twilight giggled in response.
"Yes, Kibou." Twilight said as she hugged Kibou.
"Hey Twilight, the streak on your hair looks so wonderful, just like the one of my sister." Kibou said.
"Aww, thank you Kibou, you're so sweet." Twilight said before nuzzling him.
With Rainbow Dash, he was watching Soarin from afar.
"Hey Rainbow." Ryo Sanada called her and she yelped in surprise.
"It's you, Ryo." Rainbow Dash sighed before adding and blushing a bit. "For one moment I thought you were Soarin, you know, for the voice, everytime that I heard you speaking you reminded me a lot of Soarin."
"Sorry for startling you, Rainbow." R. Sanada said.
"It's okay, don't worry." Rainbow Dash reassures him before sighing and speaks in her thoughts. 'I don't know how my friends would react, this is so embarrassing, love is very girly.'
In another part Mia approached Applejack.
"Hi Applejack." Mia greeted her and the country pony gasped a bit before sighing.
"For one moment ah thought you were Strawberry Sunrise, by the voice." Applejack said.
"Who is she?" Mia asked.
"It's a pony who dislikes apples, even if she said from an honest point of view it boiled my blood with anger." Applejack explained.
"Well, it's her taste and you can't change it, but I already tasted your dishes made of apples which are delicious." Mia said.
"Thank you, Mia." Applejack said before hugging her, Mia shrugged knowing that ponies show affection before returning the hug.
In another part Ranma managed to stand up on two legs and pose with his martial arts stance.
"Hey, how were you able to stand in two?" A yellow unicorn foal called Snails asked him.
"I'm a martial artist who has spent most of my youth on training trips with my father." Ranma answered, still taking his pose.
"Surely that was very intense training." Snails said.
'This is like speaking with me but younger.' Ranma said in his thoughts.
In another part Genki was skating now with four skates and was doing successfully, but then Flurry appeared flying to his right side.
"Flurry…!" Genki said in surprise before braking but then she came rolling before being rocketed and landed hard on his back, Genki twitched and cringed painfully from the impact as a tear tried to escape from his right eye, but then Flurry landed above Genki. "I'm okay, Flurry."
Flurry giggled a bit as Genki got up and hugged the baby alicorn.
"I see Flurry likes you." Shining Armor said as Genki turned to see Twilight's brother.
"Really?" Genki asked as he kept holding the baby alicorn.
"Yes, since the last rescue she has been close with all of you." Shining Armor said.
"Oh, I see, come here." Genki said before tickling Flurry in the belly causing her to laugh adorably in delight.
Shining Armor couldn't help but flashback when he was a foal and he was tickling Twilight when she was a baby, the baby Twilight was laughing adorably in delight as she was being tickled.
In another part Dr. Hooves was very intrigued with the Digimon, Pokémon and the outsider creatures.
"This is very interesting, the same ones when they visited Ponyville and now there are even more of them." Dr. Hooves said as he pulled out a notebook before using a pencil with his mouth and writing.
"What are you doing?" Tiger asked him.
"Huh…!?" Dr. Hooves gasped as the pencil fell from his mouth.
"Are you writing with your… mouth?" Tiger asked again.
"Normally the earth ponies are used to writing with the mouth, but it's because I'm curious about the kind of creatures that exist beyond Equestria." Dr. Hooves explained.
"I see." Tiger said.
Somewhere Golem was sitting on the ground, admiring the place.
"Excuse me? Do I mind if we sit here?" The donkey named Cranky asked Golem in the company of Matilda.
"Yes, of course." Golem said.
"Hey, do we meet you somewhere?" Matilda asked Golem.
"Well, we're just meeting each other for the first time." Golem answered.
"For one moment his voice reminded me of my voice when I was younger." Cranky Donkey told his wife Matilda who nodded in agreement.
Now back with Twilight.
"Hey Twi, don't you think that is time to speak with Queen Novo?" Bubbles asked before adding. "Just as Ignatius said, the best moments are always now."
Twilight gasped quietly before putting Kibou on the ground and watched at Queen Novo, however she could need a bit of help.
"Hey guys, can you help me with a favor? Queen Novo will be here and I have to apologize to her about her accident when I tried to steal her pearl, but I just can't do it alone." Twilight said as Aria, Assana and Aries could understand her.
"We'll help you, Twilight." Aria said, placing a hoof on her front right leg.
"And so the nightmare will end." Aries added and the purple alicorn nodded.
Eventually they come to speak with Queen Novo and her daughter Skystar, also Kibou was close to her sister.
"Your majesty, do you remember when Twilight tried to steal the pearl?" Aries asked.
"She was desperate to save Equestria." Assana added.
"How did you know about that?" Novo asked in a surprised tone.
"I'm a multiverse traveler." Aries said.
"Well… that doesn't matter, it's in the past. After all, she committed a crime, you know it." Queen Novo said.
"But when she and her friends returned to the surface, Twilight's friendship with friends barely torns apart." Aria said, feeling bad for Twilight.
"I don't understand..." Queen Novo said, a bit confused.
"Just after Twilight was alone, she was captured by the troops of the Storm King." Aries said and Novo was shocked.
"I know I was angry with Twilight, but I never wanted her to be captured." The queen of the hippogriffs said.
"But that's not all, even if her friends came to rescue her, she almost died in that storm that almost destroyed Canterlot and if she had died, I might never have met my older sister-like figure." Assana said, shedding tears in her eyes.
"It's true, not only Twilight is my sister-like figure, me and she are like two daughters to princess Celestia, and if she had died I would never have met her...!" Aria said before sniffling.
Twilight has her ears dropped, before hugging Aria and Assana, even Kibou joined in the hugging not liking to see Aria said.
"And this is not all, far away from Equestria, Twilight had the nightmare which happened after you banished Twilight and her friends from Seaquestria, but in that bad dream all of us we were mad and disappointed with her, even she was exiled from the team." Aries explained.
That makes Twilight feel worse despite her fighting by holding her tears, now Queen Novo felt terrible and was panting harder.
"I din't know what I was thinking, I didn't know that the Storm King was going after Twilight instead of the pearl, I hid like a coward. After learning of what the Storm King did to the other kingdoms outside ours, I worried about my people and forced us to live underwater to avoid losing our kingdom and magic." Queen Novo said before looking at her daughter, letting out a sigh in shame. "I only focused on myself and refused to trust anyone else... My own daughter has more of an open mind than I do, and I should have stopped sitting on my underwater throne and did something to help after all the trouble your subjects went through to find us..."
"Sometimes when fear takes over you, it can limit you to do several things." Aries told the queen of the hippogriffs.
"I think that I was lucky of having a daughter with open mind." Queen Novo said, smiling sadly before turning to see her daughter who is now hugging to comfort Twilight, Aria and Assana. "Skystar, Twilight."
"Huh?" Both alicorn and hippogriff princesses said before turning to see her.
"Well… it's because of the memory that Aries, Aria and Assana explained me." Novo said, before sighing and explaining. "I'll admit, I was a little angry about Twilight stealing the pearl, but I didn't want to put Equestria in danger, but most importantly, I also didn't want my actions to cause Twilight nightmares. For a long time, I didn't think Celestia would have a child of her own, on account of rare Alicorn births. But I didn't realize that she had a close daughter-like relationship with one of her students. Just the thought of her losing a daughter, or a sister, just makes me feel terrible. If I did take Twilight away from her, then I'm no better than the Storm King."
"Are you...?" Twilight asks, surprised.
"Can you forgive me?" Queen Novo asked.
"Of course we will." Twilight said, as she hugged Queen Novo.
"All I really care about… is you being my mom." Skystar said, as she hugged her mother, who hugged both alicorn and hippogriff princesses back.
"One more thing, thank you three." Queen Novo told the princess of the Aether kingdom, aries warrior and water elemental. "For making me realize my mistake."
"You're welcome." Aries and Assana said, bowing slightly.
"And Aria, take this with you." Queen Novo said before showing a golden seashell necklace. "This necklace has a fragment of the pearl, and it will transform you into a seapony or vice versa when you want, you, your sisters and your friends are always welcome to Seaquestria."
"Thank you." Aria said before taking the necklace and hugging the queen of the hippogriffs who hugged her back.
Now everything was forgiven there and after that apology, everyone went to Canterlot.
Now with Keith Miller, he turned to see Applejack and Apple Bloom before remembering their parents and he came to revive them.
"Applejack, Apple Bloom, you're not gonna believe this, but I have a surprise for you two." Keith Miller said as he returned to see the Apple sisters.
"What is, Keith?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Uh… Who is it?" Applejack asked.
"Don't scream but it's your parents, I brought them back alive." The Wood Elemental said.
Eventually the whole Apple family was speechless and completely caught off guard by who they're seeing, alive and well, Bright Mac is a stallion who seems like a male version of Apple Bloom but he has green eyes with a green apple with a yellow star as Cutie Mark while Pear Butter is a mare of pale gamboge fur, brilliant gamboge mane, brilliant turquoise eyes and has a bottle of pear jam as Cutie Mark. Apple Bloom was crying tears of joy as she hugged her parents.
"Ah'm sorry fer scaring ya like that ma." Bright Mac said.
"Don't worry, it's just a miracle that the young Keith brought you back to life along with Pear Butter." Granny Smith said.
"Applejack? Is that you?" Pear Butter asked.
Applejack snapped herself out of her state after hearing that voice.
"Y-Yes, it's me, Ma." Applejack said, with her voice breaking.
Eventually she shed tears of joy before hugging her parents. Apple Bloom's mother kept her hoof out, still beckoning Caleb, Caeli and Sara to join before Caleb grabbed Pear Butter's hoof, then she pulled him into the hug along with Sara and Caeli, the three siblings were shocked, but smiled at each other and shrugged and eventually they joined the hug.
"I think we could be honorary apples." Sara commented and their families laughed a bit but in agreement.
Canterlot
Eventually, everyone and everyone managed to arrive at Canterlot where Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Spike the dragon and Diamond Tiara are in front of the residents of Equestria and all the known heroes.
"Today we're reunited to see Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Spike and Diamond Tiara who were brave in the face of danger." Celestia announced. "Resourceful and encouraged when things got challenging, proving that the bonds of friendship, no matter how unlikely, are stronger than any adversity, they faced Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow while saving the lives of the ponies very important here in Equestria, including us, those fillies and young dragon, until this day they are recognized as heroes of Equestria along with the Mane Nine."
Everyone and everypony clapped and cheered at the young heroes, except for certain dark pink mare with purple mane and tail, wearing, crooked nose, gold chain necklace, aquamarine top with gold gem trimming along the bottom, she just scoffed disgustingly before moving away from the crowd but also from above the crowd of ponies there is white unicorn stallion with a golden mane, who looked with disinterest at the fillies, even he scowled at the small dragon, however he smirked on interest to Aria and Kibou being the younger humans turned into alicorns, then back with the crowd, the parents of Apple Bloom have teary smiles, Rainbow Dash sniffled a bit but in joy before being wing-hugged by Soarin, Rarity have tears of joy feeling happy for Sweetie Belle and Spike, and lastly Filthy Rich have a warm smile knowing that she is a better pony.
"When did Apple Bloom and her friends become heroes?" Pear Butter asked.
"It's a long story." Prime said.
As they explained to the parents of Applejack, the parents of the Mane Nine's members are also there present, even Rarity presented Madison to her parents, at the same time they were speaking about the changes for the gala, however a pink mare with purplish styled mane appeared.
"Oh, look who is there? Isn't Rarity and her new friend?" The mare asked her.
"Oh, Suri Polomare." Rarity said, a bit surprised but a bit unrelieved.
"Speaking of one of the hated mares who is also Rarity's voice." Yakko whispered, breaking the fourth wall.
"I'm trying to wonder if I could assist at the gala this year?" Suri asked.
"Well…" Madison tried to say but Rarity covered her mouth.
"Ah, no thanks, we got this ready." Rarity said before pushing Madison, keeping her away from Suri.
"Rarity, what are you doing?" Madison asked as Rarity was pushing her in the back.
"Believe me, she's a pony you seriously don't want to meet, she is very opportunist when she uses my designs as theirs and she was very mean with Coco Pommel." Rarity said.
"Luckily she received her karma by tossing coffee to her face and later I quit working for her." Coco Pommel explained to Madison.
"What! A fashion designer taking advantage of others for herself. That's totally unacceptable." Skye shouted, luckily Suri didn't hear it.
"She is opportune to Rarity's generosity for herself." Aries said.
"But I'm glad Suri received her well-deserved karma by tossing coffee at her." Rei said and Skye giggled in agreement.
The group continued speaking, now the Young Seven (Princess Skystar now being part of the group of Young Six).
"Yona wants to know about your villain hunting." Yona said excitedly.
"Does your homeworld have seaponies?" Silverstream asked.
"Are dragons from your homeworld strong?" Smolder asked.
"Does your homeworld have Changelings?" Ocellus asked.
"Have you guys met griffins?" Gallus asked.
"Woah woah woah hold still. Do not asked us in one time." Aidan said, feel slightly overwhelmed by questions.
"First of all villain hunting is cool, second is dragons from our honeworld are strong, third is our homeworld has Changeling but it is different, four is sorry Sikverstream we don't have Sea Pony and five we met griffins before." Jupiter said.
Silverstream sighed sadly but Aria held her close to comfort the pink hippogriff.
"Now speaking of the Grand Galloping Gala, how was it?" Caleb asked.
"Well, the gala is normally boring and awful like their first night." Spike the dragon said.
"Everything was not what we really expected that night." Twilight said before adding. "I was expecting to have a great quality time with Celestia but she was very busy."
"And basically, it didn't go well for the rest of us." Rarity said. "That excuse of a prince named Blueblood only thinks of nopony but himself, and treated me like a servant."
"He also trashed mah food." Applejack said. "Only ah made one sale before him, one of the Wonderbolts."
"Who asked me to join them for a chat, but they were too busy to even talk to me." Rainbow Dash said.
"I really thought that the Gala would be a great place to party, but it was all too bleak and boring." Pinkie said. "I tried to make things interesting, but it seemed to annoy them."
"And the animals wouldn't even come near me." Fluttershy said. "I just wanted to get to know them."
"Yikes, surely it was the worst night ever." Caleb commented.
"Yes, it was. However the gala is always awful, but in the end it was the best night ever." Twilight answered.
"In our case, when our Twilight and her friends came to the Grand Galloping Gala for the first time, Spike couldn't let in the Gala until Shining Armor came." Aries said before explaining. "It's as bad as Mane Six here the first night because Prince Blueblood of my universe insulted Spike mercilessly but luckily Princess Celestia sent him to the dungeon for life because of that."
"Hmph, serves him right for a royal pain." Rarity said.
"He should be called Bluebutt." Seth joked and most of the members laughed until the same prince stallion from before was coming.
"Speaking of the devil." Caleb said, referring to Prince Blueblood who was approaching the group.
"The ice law." Pleakley said.
"I know what you mean." Aries said before adding. "But…"
"I know you will try to give him a lesson, but let me handle this." Seth said before adding. "After all, I'm a better prince than Bluebutt."
Alban and Enya couldn't help but giggle at the new name.
"Hello there, royal siblings." Prince Blueblood said, greeting them, just Seth waved while Aria put Kibou behind her and the rest kept doing the ice law. "Allow me to make your acquaintance."
"Do we know you?" Seth asked.
"I'm the Prince Vladimir Blueblood, but just call me Prince Blueblood." Blueblood introduced himself before adding. "Anyway, I overheard that you were having issues in the royal issues. Wouldn't it be better for your two siblings if they came to live in Canterlot where they can have anything they want and be trained on being a proper princess and prince?"
"Trained?" Kibou whispered, overhearing.
"Living in Canterlot?" Aria asked, with a confused tone.
"Listen, my sister Aria is free to make her own decisions on her own and my baby brother wants to go with my sister, they choose to stay in Ponyville." Seth told him.
"Wait, are you sure it's wise to have two minor-aged alicorns living in a podunk town?" Prince Blueblood asked.
"There's a castle in Ponyville where Twilight lives there and both are closest friends." Seth replied.
"There shouldn't be castles in a town like Ponyville, therefore I insist on having those two royal siblings to live here in Canterlot." Prince Blueblood suggested.
"Sorry, but you can't decide where the royals are supposed to stay, my sister Aria is free to follow her heart." Seth said as Caleb nodded in agreement as he held close to Aria.
"Follow her heart? The princesses should be engaged to somepony from royalty, instead of choosing a peasant." Prince Blueblood said in disagreement.
"Ouch…" Caleb commented.
"I insist you again, a town is not a place for those two royal siblings to live in, those two must live here in Canterlot, those two must have the life they are meant to have, the life of a proper princess and prince, they really need to know what is best for them." Prince Blueblood said.
"Oh… I think you said enough." Seth sourly said towards the prince not so prince. "Do you really think that you can take my sister and baby brother away from my family or my friends?"
"Taking them away from you? I'm just trying to save them from living a podunk life and having the best life here in Canterlot." Prince Blueblood said in disbelief before justifying, but just for himself.
"The kind of the prince rude, unpleasant, lout, non-chivalrous, snarky, pompous, arrogant, heart-crushing buffon, proud of his own image, close-minded, ungrateful, selfish, always believing superior than anypony just for being a prince and precisely a royal pain for the ladies!" Seth said, ranting to the prince only for the facade who just backed away from the true and redeemed prince in fear before adding more. "I realize it now because I was like that before, but thanks to the holy singing of one of my friends, now I know how to be a real prince better than you, and also if I were you I would be more considerate with the food of any place and nicer to any lady just like me with Shinobu, even if she is not from royalty, she is an heroine and I accept her as she really is."
Shinobu couldn't help but smile timidly and warmly while blushing, however a certain arrogant excuse of the prince is displeased.
"How dare you lecture me!?" Prince Blueblood brushed off. "Princes like you should be engaged to ponies only from royalty."
"Maybe I'm not your father, but I can see clearly that you don't act like a prince." Seth bitterly said.
"Heh, I know more about loyalty than you because I spent my life with the royal duties since I was foal." Prince Blueblood said with pride just for himself.
"But I'm pretty sure that princes are supposed to treat others with respect, no matter the class where they belong!" Seth retorted before adding. "Without forgetting the way you treated Rarity in her first gala who was waiting to deserve respect from the prince of her dreams."
"Please." The arrogant stallion rolled his eyes while remembering the first time when he met Rarity. "That mare should consider herself lucky that I decided to grace her with my presence, her dress was trying to be an attention hog, her selfish fashion designer, all she cares about is her attention and bits!"
The girls gasped in shock, Seth just glared sourly at Blueblood while shaking his head in disgust, then Spike crushed his apple fritter in his claws absolutely with livid rage after hearing how the excuse of prince insulted Rarity like that and then the young drake marched towards Blueblood.
"She's the lucky one!? Who do you think you are, you spoiled brat!? You should consider yourself lucky that such a beautiful unicorn decided to spend her time with you!" Spike the dragon yelled towards the arrogant prince before pointing towards Rarity. "Do you have any idea who that is? She's one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony! She deserves nothing but your respect and admiration!"
"And I should listen to you, why?" Prince Blueblood said arrogantly while rolling his eyes.
"I'll tell you why you should listen, you weasel!" Spike the dragon retorted, yet the so-called prince was still unfazed while the young drake continued. "She is the most amazing unicorn in all of Equestria! She deserves more than you!"
Rarity looked at Spike in amazement, touched by his words but Blueblood was very stubborn to hear that kind of lecturing.
"Hold your tongue, you horrid scaly beast!" Prince Blueblood roared in anger as he tried to push his hoof forward.
But then Rarity acted quickly and smacked Blueblood's hoof who was trying to push Spike.
"Don't you dare to hurt Spikey-Wikey like that again!?" Rarity dangerously warned Blueblood.
"Come you, you should know your place instead of having real feelings for this monster!" Prince Blueblood said, not even knowing Rarity's name and still insulting Spike.
"He's not a monster, Blueblood!" Rarity said, defending Spike before glaring at Blueblood. "You are!"
"Wow, she sounded like Belle standing against Gaston." Yakko commented.
"She is right." Seth said in agreement with Rarity before glaring sourly at Blueblood. "And Spike is not only the hero of the Crystal Empire, now is the hero of Equestria and he could be a prince better than you."
Prince Blueblood was furious like never before after being insulted like that.
"You all have no idea about what I'm going through! For too long I've been ignored in those marbled halls on Canterlot, since that dragon appeared in the stained glass I feel insulted, ignored, rejected! Only I'm the right pony to lead Equestria in the future!" Prince Blueblood said furiously as he was slowly approaching.
"I think…" Aria said as she pulled out her axe much to Blueblood's bewilderment as she yelled. "NO!"
As she shouted and slammed her axe to the ground she performed the Rockwave attack which hit Blueblood sending him to crash in the grass, most of the members were shocked after seeing that but the Zodiac and Elemental girls are impressed while Shinobu whispered to Aquarius and Aries and they nodded in agreement, as Blueblood was recovering from the attack, the insect pillar was standing in front of the arrogant prince while holding a laboratory flask with her magic and it contains a dark purple liquid on it.
"Here, hold this." Shinobu said as she kept holding the laboratory flask much to Blueblood's confusion. "Let's run a test, shall we?"
Then she pulled out a test tube with her magic which contained a glowing liquid before putting a drop in the liquid of the laboratory flask, then Shinobu took distance away from Blueblood as the laboratory flash was glowing brightly and caused an explosion as everyone watched.
"Oh, dear, another failure…" Shinobu said sheepishly as a flower fell and bounced above his head. "Oops!"
The arrogant prince fell and crashed into a mud puddle, and if it was not enough Nikki and Boss used Mud Slap many times on Prince Blueblood putting him covered in mud.
"Oh no!" Prince Blueblood yelled in dismay. "What have you done to my mane!?"
"Is that really what you're worried about!?" Rarity asked, still glaring at him.
But she received no response as Blueblood galloped away, crying in the most pathetic display anyone present had ever seen.
"Serves him right." Caleb commented with a smug smirk.
"It's called karma, Prince Bluebutt!" Seth called him by his nickname before adding and referring to the dramatic prince. "With that, he won't get close to us."
"In your face." Aidan said.
"Now prince Blueblood won't be close with us anymore." Leo added.
"Now that I'm thinking, this gala must be improved." Seth said.
"You know, you're right." Twilight said in agreement.
"It's time for a great change tonight." Aria added.
Then it was decided, the Grand Galloping Gala will be improved tonight.
"First, the banquet." Spike the dragon said.
Royal Hall
The ones who know cooking are there in the hall seeing tiny food morsels.
"They are just food morsels." Lotus gagged before saying.
"I agree with Lotus. These foods are nothing when compared to our family restaurant and cafe." Cancer said, disliking the food.
"I'll taste one of them." Caleb said before using his right hoof to grab it and eat it. "The flavors blend together perfectly, too perfectly! It's like there was no flavor at all. It's so balanced that it is almost… bland but mainly tasteless."
Even Seth tasted one of the tiny morsels.
"Yes, you're right, nos after eating different food, now I can see the real differences between the tasteless and tasty food." Seth said in agreement with Caleb.
"The restaurants of three hooves apparently indicate excellent cuisine but…" Aries was saying.
"But it is the food critique's fault." Lotus said, bitterly.
"Aries, Lotus and Cancer are right, the food from the Restaurant Row was tasteless, Zesty Gourmand is very strange." Pinkie Pie added.
"Only everything changed when we invited everypony to eat in the Tasty Treat." Rarity said.
"And knowing Zesty Gourmand, she ruins those restaurants or even the gala's cooking staff by telling them how to properly serve their food." Cancer explained.
"I think it's time to call your parents and show them real and good food." Aria told the Ayla sisters and they nodded.
Just as it was said, the Ayla parents were brought to Equestria in Canterlot. Lucian is white earth pony with a chef hat as Cutie Mark while Helena is a white pinkish earth pony with a wooden rolling pin for baking as Cutie Mark.
"This is completely new." Helena said as she watched her body.
"Well, at the same time duty calls." Lucian said.
"We're going to help too." Lita said as Sunset nodded in agreement with her.
Then the members who know real cooking and good food put their hooves in action and even unicorn magic too, the first thing was the soup which was made with vegetable broth, potatoes, half onion, a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of butter, a leek, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 sprig of celery, parmesan, pepper and oregano, later it was prepared tomato cream as another soup, also white rice topped with fried egg, mashed potatoes, a dish called Ratatouille, quiches prepared with vegetables, crepes filled with apple and pear jelly, cheese soufflé, more dishes without using meat, and specially desserts made of apples and pears.
"Now this is real food." Cancer said and Lotus nodded in agreement.
"Now we hope Zesty Gourmand doesn't arrive here." Pinkie Pie said.
"What's going on in here!?" A demanding a snobbish voice asked which made Kibou hid behind Aria instictively.
Then a tall grey unicorn with white mane wearing a large overcoat appeared with a very snooty demeanor on her face appeared, Zesty Gourmand to be exact.
"Zesty Gourmand…!" Rarity said as Lotus sourly glares at the so-called food critique.
"Why did all the food change? The food at the Grand Gallop Gala is supposed to be the same every year!" Zesty Gourmand explained.
"Actually, Zesty Gourmand, there is nothing wrong with the food for the gala. The only problem is you." Lucian explained.
"How dare you?!" Zesty Gourmand snapped before explaining about the food but just from her point of view.
"Anypony can throw ingredients together and create an obvious taste that uncultured ponies like the ones who prepared that food and don't they don't know what good food really is!"
That comment made both Sakura, Madison, Sor, Yoshino, Brock, Cilan, Clemont, Sorrel, Mallow, Lita, Caeda and Pyra, even Applejack with her parents, gasp in shock before glaring at Zesty.
"Says it from the closed-minded pony who doesn't taste the food!" Lotus sourly said.
"Only a true culinary artist is able to create a subtle taste, the barest hint of a sensation. That's what I bring to Canterlot. That is art." Zesty Gourmand explained.
"By 'subtle', you mean lacking any sort of taste." Helena stated. "If this is what you consider art, you're clearly in the wrong profession, lady."
"Food critics are also supposed to be open-minded and you will never be one of them!" Cancer sternly said to Zesty.
"If a restaurant or even the food aren't worth my time..." Zesty tried to reply.
"If a restaurant or even the food weren't worth your time." Cancer interrupted angrily. "Then you shouldn't even care if ponies are dining here or not. You're not trying to save them from what you think is bad cuisine! You're just trying to drive away that restaurant's business simply because they made a conscious choice to make their cuisine and decor that is different from what you want. You only give ratings to restaurants who want to do things your way, not because you think others would enjoy eating there!"
"However you like your food a certain way, that's fine by you, but cannot force what you like on everyone else." Lotus said. "The dinner for the gala had the same exact foods like in the Restaurant Row, and because you're so 'famous', they follow your terrible advice, and because of that, they all suffer because they can't make the food they like to sell to others who like them just as much! And your taste must be like plywood, because your idea of 'good food' is eating those tiny portions I like to call garbage!"
"How dare you, you juvenile ingrate!" Zesty scolded. "My food for these ponies is art!"
"To look at, not to eat." Rei added and Ila with Skye nodded in agreement. "It sucks."
Zesty sneered at the two children turned into foals but she was stopped by Fluttershy doing the stare.
"Don't you dare!?" Fluttershy said threateningly.
"They are right." One of the servants in the food said in agreement with the Ayla family about their point of view on good food. "Their inspirations in food are better than the same ones every previous year."
The other servants were in agreement with the food prepared by the Ayla family while Zesty was flabbergasted, her word no longer mattering.
"Maybe it's time you open your mind and your palette to something new?" Cancer suggested. "Try actually rating a restaurant or the food based on what you've tasted rather than just judging a book by its cover?"
However, too stubborn to admit her ideals were wrong, Zesty huffed and made her exit.
"Now the food is an exit." Caleb said.
"Next thing is the decorations and the music." Sara added.
Then they work for the preparations of the gala.
Canterlot Boutique
While some members will guard during the night, the other members will dress formally for the gala.
"Well, now I have a surprise for you nine." Genie said before casting his magic in the Mane Nine.
Twilight has a yellow dress (based from Belle), Pinkie has a pink dress (based from the one of Rapunzel), Applejack has a green dress (based from Tiana), Rainbow Dash has a dark blue dress (based from the one of Merida), Rarity has a purple dress (based from the one of Jasmine), Fluttershy has a blue and yellow dress (based from the one of Snow White), Sunset Shimmer has a dark pink dress (from Aurora), Starlight has a green and black dress (from Anna) and Trixie has an icy blue dress (based from Elsa), and in Diamond Tiara's case she has a light blue one (based from Cinderella).
"This looks completely familiar." Pinkie Pie said as she watched her dress before adding and breaking the fourth wall. "Maybe other versions of us meeting Disney characters in a magical book."
Later the Aether Quintet was dressing formally.
"First time dressing formally." Caleb said as Aria giggled in agreement.
"You look handsome like that." Aria told him.
"Thank you." Caleb said.
Just then Caeli and Kibou came out dressed formally.
"Our little sister is now a small lady." Sara said, sniffling a bit.
"Kibou looks a gentleman." Aria said, also sniffling a bit.
Royal Hall
Tonight the gala is a new improved one and best than the previous years, now Twilight along with Aria and Assana have their best quality time with Celestia, the food for the gala improved a lot thanks to the Ayla family's help, making the Ayla family the "Kings of the Cuisine", the apple recipes of Applejack like the ones of Grand Pear turn popular in the gala after the Ayla family tasted the apple recipes and open the mind from many ponies who live in Canterlot, the Pokémon and Digimon spent their time with Fluttershy in the gardens which are outside from the gala party hall, even Flurry Heart was in the forehooves of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash with Scootaloo have a great time with the Wonderbolts, the music has more rhythm and Rarity is having date with Spike the dragon during the gala, just one of the ponies was displeased, Prince Blueblood who is now clean after being dirty in mud.
"This is an outrage! The gala has always been the same for years, now it is in ruins, I don't even plan to participate in this party!" A disliked Prince Blueblood said before raising his muzzle upwards snootily before leaving the room.
However the sound of a scissor was heard and then Blueblood's tail was cut causing some ponies to giggle, and the one who cut Blueblood's tail was Rarity who is laughing evilly.
"Revenge is sweet!" Rarity said at Blueblood's second humiliation.
Both Zodiac Warriors and Elemental 10 laughed at the scene because they knew the gala is always terrible.
"Now that's what I call a true party." Aidan said.
"Usually parties for higher classes are usually elegant and boring." Leo said.
"Yeah I know." Cancer added.
Discord also appeared, dressing formally.
"Well, this party is the best one." Discord admitted it.
Back there, Chikara offered his hoof to Caeli.
"Should we dance?" Chikara asked her.
"I'm not good." Caeli answered timidly.
"Don't worry, I will teach you." Chikara said and she nodded before joining him.
Nerri with Bulucumon are outside just like Nathan and Chikurimon, the Ice Sphere Warrior is not used to speak with other people or ponies in this world.
Royal Gardens
Now with Spike and Rarity, they have their best date during the gala, the small drake gave a rose to the marshmallow unicorn, they sat together in a pillow, Spike put a towel in a pond allowing Rarity to pass, opened the door allowing her to pass first, they eat together the apple fritters of Applejack, that dragon is definitely chivalrous, now for the finishing touch, Madison watched and sighed gladly to see a romance of a dragon and an unicorn, and she then started to sing.
*KISS THE GIRL (ASHLEY TISDALE)*
[Madison Taylor]
Ohhhhhh
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
She closed her eyes as she was singing with her heart.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
but there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
you wanna kiss the girl
Spike and Rarity watched lovingly at each other, having their best night ever.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she want you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Madison kept singing.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Spike started to remember every moment of himself with Rarity.
Now's your moment
Floating in the blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
The young drake remembered meeting Rarity by first time in Ponyville, and even more moments (Secrets of My Excess, Dragon Quest, the Crystal Empire, Inspiration Manifestation and The Mold episodes).
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You gotta be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
As Madison kept singing, her Cutie Mark was glowing (just like the one of Rara when she sings with all her heart).
You wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Ohhhhhh
Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
Then Spike and Rarity have other memories (the events during the story of "Digimon: Worlds in Danger")
La la la la, la la la la
Go on and kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
La la la la, la la la la
Go on and
Kiss the girl
Later Caleb along with Aria came outside and watched the scenario, they couldn't help but smile at the romantic scene.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
La la la la, La la la la
Go on and kiss the girl
(Go on and kiss that girl)
La la la la, La la la la
Go on and kiss the girl
As Madison kept singing, Spike and Rarity kissed each other on the lips.
Go on and kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
(Kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl
*ENDS*
They watched the moon together.
"You know? Who cares if they are from different species?" Calamity asked.
"Spike and Rarity are the perfect couple." Plucky said.
"And that proves that Spike is a real gentleman than Blueblood." Hamton said.
"And maybe someday they could have equine-dragon hybrids like a certain couple of a donkey and dragon that we will meet in future adventures." Yakko whispered, breaking the fourth wall.
Eeyup, the best night ever in Canterlot but there are more things until tomorrow.
TO BE CONTINUED
