"Aww man what happened?" Ash questioned as he regained consciousness.
he gets up to find that he was in a forest.
"huh I guess the stone worked." Ash said as he scratched his head with his hoof...wait Hoof.
Ash looked at his arm and saw that it was indeed a hoof with blue fur he looked around and saw a pond in front of him when he saw his face he was surprised instead of a human face he sees the face of a pony upon closer inspection he saw that he had light blue fur, a black mane with a long tail of the same color both in same style as when he was human he also noticed that he had wings indicating that he was a Pegasus pony and on his flank were two swords crossing with a shield in front of them.
"Huh so this is my true form." Ash said as he looked himself over a bit more before he looked around.
"alright I need to to see if I can find a way out of here." Ash said before seeing a light on the other side of a few trees.
"well I guess that's my way out." Ash said as he started walking towards the daylight though with some difficulty.
"oh man looks like I'm going to have to get used to walking on four legs." Ash said.
with a bit of effort Ash finally made it to the edge of the forest.
"Hey a town maybe someone here knows where my sisters are." Ash said as he walked down the path seeing a sign he stopped to read it.
"welcome to Ponyville well at least I know what town I'm in." Ash said before continuing his walk towards town.
as he did so he started to think about his sisters.
'i wonder how I'll be able to find my sisters? what are they like? and what do they look like?' he thought.
So Lost in thought he wasn't paying attention as he ran into someone.
"ow sorry about that I wasn't paying attention." Ash Apologized scratching his head.
"no I'm sorry I should have been looking where I was going." a distinctively female voice said.
Ash looked up and saw that the voice belonged to a unicorn mare with purple fur, and hair of the same color with a pink streak.
"well hello there my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant Spike the Dragon." the Unicorn now known as Twilight Sparkle introduced while the one known as Spike waived his hand.
Ash smiled as he introduced himself.
"nice to meet you Twilight and Spike my name is Ash Ketchum." he said as he got back up.
"it's nice to meet you too Ash but I'm afraid I can't talk right now as I'm currently on an important mission." Twilight said.
"really what mission is that?" Ash asked.
"I'm here to check on the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration by the order of Princess Celestia." Twilight answered.
as soon as she said that name Ash went stiff could this unicorn know his sister?
"Princess Celestia sent you here?" He questioned.
"yes she did after all I am her ever faithful student." Twilight said.
"I see hey do you mind if I tagged along? Ash asked.
"what why do you want to tag along?" Twilight questioned.
"well it's just that I'm new here and don't know my way around here and I figured that we could walk around together." Ash explained.
Twilight smiled.
"oh well in that case we'd be happy to have you come with us." Twilight said causing Ash to smile back.
"great let's go then." Ash said as he followed Twilight and Spike.
"let's just get done soon I really want to get to the library." Twilight said.
"why's that?" Ash questioned.
"I'll explain later Ash." Twilight said.
Ash nodded as they continued walking down the path.
"hey maybe that Pony can tell us more about ponyville." Spike said as he pointed to a pink fured mare with a mane and tail shaped like cotton candy.
"okay Spike I'll ask her." Ash said as he walked over to the mare.
"excuse me miss can you help us?" Ash questioned.
however her only response was a long gasp before she dashed off.
"well that was...interesting." Twilight said.
"yeah come on let's go." Ash said as they continued walking.
After a while they made it to their first destination.
"Summer Sun Celebration official overseer's check list number one banquet preparations Sweet Apple Acres." Spike said as they walked into the aforementioned place.
"nice place" Ash said before hearing a voice shout.
"YEEE-HAAA!" The voice said.
the three looked to see a orange fured Pony with a blonde mane and tail wearing a western style hat running towards a tree before kicking it with her back legs causing the apples to fall into a bunch of baskets.
"wow she's strong to knock down all those apples with just her bare hooves." Ash said impressed.
"come on let's get this over with." Twilight said with a sigh before walking over to the mare.
"good afternoon my name is Twilight Sparkle." she said before feeling the other mare shake her hoof vigorously.
"well howdy do miss Twilight a pleasure making your acquaintance I'm Applejack we here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends." the mare now known as Applejack said.
"friends actually i uhh." Twilight said her voice sounding wobbly making Ash chuckle at the scene in front of him before walking over to the two mares.
"hello Applejack my name is Ash Ketchum it's nice to meet you." he said.
"well howdy Ash it's nice to meet you too." Applejack said as she stopped shaking Twilight's hoof.
"so what can I do for y'all?" Applejack asked.
Twilight said nothing as Spike stopped her still shaking hoof with a chuckle Twilight shot him a quick glare before clearing her throat and getting down to business.
"well I'm in fact here to supervise the preparations for the summer sun celebration and you're in charge of the food." Twilight explained.
"we sure as sugar are would you care to sample some?" Applejack offered causing Ash to nod his head eagerly.
"you bet." he said.
"well as long as it doesn't take too long." Twilight said as Applejack dashed towards a bell and rang it.
"SOUPS ON EVERYPONY!" She shouted before a bunch of ponies stampeded dragging Ash, Twilight, and Spike to a table.
"now why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple Family." Applejack suggested.
"thanks but I really need to hurry." Twilight said but was ignored as As Applejack introduced each member of her family as they placed food on the table.
after taking a deep breath she continued.
"Big Macintosh, Applebloom, and Granny Smith up in at'em Granny Smith we have guests." Applejack said waking Granny Smith up.
" ugh what soups on?" Granny Smith questioned groggily.
"why I'd say that they're already part of the family." Applejack said.
This causes Twilight to spit out the Apple that Applejack shoved into her mouth before chuckling nervously.
"okay well I can see the food situation is handled so we'll be on our way." Twilight said trying to leave only to be met with sad faces.
"aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" Applebloom asked sadly while putting on the saddest face anyone's seen.
"sorry but we have an awful lot to do." Twilight said making the Apple Family go 'Aww' in sadness.
"come on Twilight just stay for brunch after all one stop to eat won't kill ya." Ash said.
Twilight looked reluctant for a minute before giving in.
"fine." she said causing everypony to cheer happily.
"Man I'm stuffed." Ash said as he, Twilight, and Spike walked down the path again.
"I still can't believe that you managed to eat all of that food so fast and act like you're not full that's amazing." Spike said.
"eh what can I say I'm like a bottomless pit." Ash said jokingly making Spike chuckle.
"anyway food's all taken care of next is weather." Spike said while looking back towards Twilight who groaned.
"I ate too much pie." she said.
"hmm there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds." Spike said while looking up at the sky with Twilight and Ash doing the same seeing the clouds.
"well she's not doing a very good job, is she?" Twilight questioned before feeling something slam into her and into the mud.
"Twilight are you alright?" Ash asked in concern before seeing what slammed into her.
onn
top of Twilight was a Pegasus pony with light blue fur with a mane and tail that had all the colors of the rainbow the Pegasus looked at Twilight and chuckled nervously.
"eh excuse me?" She questioned while chuckling some more as Twilight looked annoyed.
"let me help you." the Pegasus said before placing a cloud over Twilight and jumped on it causing it to pour rain on Twilight after she was done the Pegasus looked down to see that Twilight was completely soaked.
"oops I guess I overdid it um uh how about this my very own patented rainblow dry." the Pegasus said as she flew around Twilight creating a tornado of colors.
"no, no don't thank me you're quite welcome." she said after she was done only to see that Twilight's mane and tail were a puffy mess the Pegasus snickered a bit before letting out full blown laughter while falling to the ground with Spike following her.
"at least you're not laughing." Twilight said looking at Ash who shrugged his shoulders as Twilight turned her attention back to the Pegasus.
"anyway let me guess you're Rainbow Dash." she said annoyed catching the Pegasus's attention.
"the one and only why you heard of me?" Rainbow Dash said as she flew over Twilight.
"I heard you're supposed to be keeping the sky clear." Twilight said before sighing.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle and the Princess sent me to check on the weather." she continued.
"and I'm Ash Ketchum I'm just tagging along." Ash said as Rainbow Dash lounged on a cloud.
"nice to meet you Ash and yeah yeah that'll be a snap I'll do it in a jiffy, Just as soon as I'm done practicing." she said.
"practicing? for what?" Twilight questioned.
"the Wonderbolts they're gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow and I'm gonna show them my stuff." Rainbow Dash explained.
Twilight adopted a sly smirk.
"THE Wonderbolts?" She questioned getting a "yep." from Rainbow Dash.
"the most talented fliers in all of Equestria?" She questioned.
"that's them." Rainbow Dash confirmed.
Twilight scoffed.
"please they'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day." Twilight said.
"hey I could clear this sky in 10 seconds flat." Rainbow Dash said causing Twilight's smirk to grow.
"prove it." she challenged before Rainbow Dash began zooming around getting rid of each cloud at an astonishing pace while Ash, Twilight, and Spike looked on in awe as she finished clearing the sky.
"what'd I say? 10 seconds flat I'd never leave ponyville hanging." Rainbow Dash said as Ash, Twilight, and Spike just stood there in awe causing Rainbow Dash to laugh.
"you should see the looks on your faces you're a laugh Twilight Sparkle and Ash Ketchum I can't wait to hang out with you two some more." she said before flying away.
"wow she's amazing." Spike said before touching Twilight's puffy mane with a snicker making Twilight groan in irritation before walking away.
"wait it's kind of pretty once you get used to it." Spike said.
Ash chuckled at Spike's attempt to not get on Twilight's bad side.
Minutes later the three found themselves in city hall where the celebration will take place as Spike looked at the checklist.
"decorations." he said before exclaiming.
"beautiful!" He said as Twilight and Ash looked around the hall.
"yes the decor is coming along nicely this ought to be quick I'll be at the library in no time beautiful, indeed." Twilight said.
"you got that right Twilight very beautiful." Ash said agreeing with her.
"not the decor her." Spike said however while pointing at a unicorn mare with white fur and with a mane and tail of light purple who was using magic to lift a bunch of ribbons in the air to decide which one to use as part of the decor.
as she did that Spike stares at her with hearts in his eyes.
"how are my spines are they straight." he asked his two companions only to have them roll their eyes at him in amusement before walking towards the mare in front of them.
"good afternoon." Twilight greeted.
"just a moment please I'm in the zone as it were oh, yes sparkle always does it not? Why Rarity you are a talent." the other unicorn now known as Rarity said before turning to Twilight.
"now um how can I help you- aah-ha-ha, oh my stars darling whatever happened to your coiffure?" She questioned in shock.
"oh you mean my mane? Well it's a long story I'm just here to check on the decorations and then I'll be out of your hair." Twilight said.
"out of my hair what about your hair?" Rarity questioned as she began to push Twilight into the back room.
"wait where are we going? Help!" but her pleas fell on deaf ears as both Ash and Spike followed the two mares.
soon Rarity had Twilight try on different outfits though rejecting each one either by being too green or too yellow and such much to Ash's amusement.
"now go on my dear you were telling me where you're from." Rarity said as she began tightened a vest on Twilight.
"I've...been sent...from Canterlot...to." but Twilight was interrupted as Rarity gasped.
"Canterlot?! Oh I am so envious the glamour, the sophistication I've always dreamed of living there I can't wait to hear all about it we are going to be the best of friends you and I." she said before noticing Ash.
"oh I'm terribly sorry I was so busy with my new friend here that I didn't see you." she said apologetically.
"that's alright my name is Ash Ketchum it's nice to meet you." Ash greeted making Rarity smile.
"it's very nice to meet you too Ash I'm Rarity." she greeted back before looking back towards Twilight.
"emeralds?! What was I thinking Let me get you some rubies." she said as walked out of the room.
"quick before she decides to dye my coat a new color." Twilight said as she ran out the door with Ash grabbing Spike before following her.
"Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike asked dreamily as he rode on Twilight's back.
"focus Casanova what's next on the list?" Twilight questioned as she and Ash continued trotting down the path.
Spike cleared his throat before looking at the list.
"oh uh music it's the last one." he said before they suddenly heard birds singing.
following the sounds the three see a orchestra of birds being led by a Pegasus pony with yellow fur and a pink mane and tail.
"oh my um stop please everyone." she said as she flew up to one of the branches.
"um...excuse me sir I mean no offense but your rhythm is just a teeny tiny bit off now follow me please a-1, a-2, a-1 2 3." She said.
but before they can start Twilight shouts "hello" startling the Pegasus and the birds.
"oh my I'm so sorry I didn't mean to frighten your birds I'm just here to check up on the music and it sounded beautiful." Twilight said as the Pegasus mare landed while looking at the ground shyly making Ash and Twilight feel uncomfortable.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.
"and I'm Ash Ketchum." Ash greeted.
the Pegasus remained silent however.
"what's your name?" Twilight asked.
"um...I'm...Fluttershy." the Pegasus mumbled quietly.
"I'm sorry what was that?" Twilight questioned.
"I'm...my name...is...Fluttershy." the Pegasus mumbled even quieter.
"didn't quite catch that." Twilight said who's only response from the Pegasus was a whimper.
"well um it looks like your birds are back so I guess everything is in order keep up the good work." Twilight said with the Pegasus only giving out another whimper.
"okay." Twilight said as Spike came out of the bushes.
"well that was easy." she told him before hearing the Pegasus gasp.
"a baby Dragon!" The Pegasus exclaimed scaring the birds again before rushing towards Spike pushing Twilight out of the way in the process.
"oh I've never seen a baby Dragon before he's so cute." she said causing Spike to smirk at Twilight.
"well well well." Spike says before crossing his arms in pride.
"oh my he talks I didn't know dragons could talk that's just so incredibly wonderful i-i just don't know what to say." the Pegasus said before Spike is suddenly lifted off the ground by Twilight's magic.
"well in that case we better get going." Twilight said hastily.
"wait wait what's his name?" The Pegasus questioned.
"I'm Spike." he answered.
"hi Spike I'm Fluttershy wow a talking Dragon and what do dragons talk about?" The Pegasus now known as Fluttershy asked.
"well what do you want to know?" Spike questioned.
"absolutely everything." Fluttershy said causing Twilight to groan in frustration as Spike told Fluttershy his life story.
"and that's the story of my whole entire life well up until today do you want to hear about today?" Spike asked.
"oh yes please." Fluttershy said only for Twilight to speak up.
"oh I am so sorry how did we get here so fast this is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby Dragon needs his sleep" Twilight said.
"no I don't." Spike said but was ignored as Twilight threw him off her back.
"aww wook at that he's so sweepy he can't even keep wittle bawance." Twilight said in baby talk much to Spike's annoyance and Ash's amusement.
"poor thing you simply must get him to bed." Fluttershy said as she took Spike into the library with Ash and Twilight following her.
"yes yes we'll get right on that well good night." Twilight said as she pushed Fluttershy out of the library and closed the door.
"huh rude much?" Spike questioned.
"he's right Twilight you didn't have to close the door in her face." Ash said.
"sorry guys but I have to convince the princess that Nightmare Moon is coming and we're running out of time I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy Ponies trying to make friends all the time." Twilight said.
"umm Twilight what are you talking about?" Ash questioned.
"oh right sorry about that I'll explain as I study now where's the light?" Twilight questioned.
suddenly the lights went on and a crowd of ponies yelled out surprise startling the three for a minute before Twilight let out a groan of annoyance as the pink mare from before went up to them.
"surprise hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you so were you surprised were you, were you, huh, huh, huh." the mare known as Pinkie Pie questioned as she jumped over Twilight.
"very surprised libraries are supposed to be quite." Twilight said annoyed causing Pinkie Pie to chuckle.
"that's silly what kind of welcome party would this be if it were quite I mean duh boring." she said as Twilight walked away.
"you see I saw you when you first got here remember?" Pinkie Pie asked as she followed Twilight.
"you were all "hello" and I was all [gasp] remember you see I never saw you before and if I never saw you before then that means you're new cause I know everypony and I mean everypony in ponyville." she explained as Twilight groaned.
"and if you're new you hadn't met anyone yet." she continued as Twilight poured herself a drink.
"and if you haven't met anyone yet you must not have any friends and if you don't have any friends you must be lonely and that made me so sad and I had an idea and that's why I went [gasp]." Pinkie Pie said as Twilight took a sip of her drink.
"I should throw a great, big, ginormous, super-duper, spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville." Pinkie Pie said as the other four ponies that Ash, Twilight, and Spike met gathered around her.
"you see now you have lots and lots of friends." Pinkie Pie said before Twilight face suddenly went red and her eyes started to water.
"are you alright sugar cube?" Applejack asked when Twilight suddenly jumped into the air as steam shot out of her ears before dashing off.
"as she's so happy she's crying." Pinkie Pie said as Twilight walked upstairs Spike picked up the bottle that Twilight had and read the label.
"hot sauce." he read before Pinkie Pie took the bottle and poured it's contents onto a cupcake before eating it as her friends gave her questioning stares.
"what this is good" she said.
Later that night Twilight was in her room while the party was still going on she had her pillow over her head trying to drown out the music while waiting for the party to end.
she lifts her head up to look at the clock before letting out a groan when Spike and Ash walked into the room the former wearing a lampshade on his head.
"hey Twilight Pinkie Pie's starting pin the tail on the Pony want to play?" Spike asked.
"yeah Twilight come and have fun with us." Ash said.
"no! All the Ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?" Twilight questioned.
"it's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration everypony has to stay up or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun you really should lighten up Twilight it's a party" Spike said as he left the room while Ash stayed behind.
"hey Twilight are you okay?" He asked.
"oh Ash yeah I'm fine why do you ask?" She asked back.
"it's just ever since we met you've been acting like something terrible is going to happen what's wrong?" He questioned.
Twilight hesitated for minute before sighing.
"I suppose I do owe you an explanation." she said as she turned to the moon.
"come here and look at the moon." she said as he did so and saw a face on it.
"what is that?" Ash questioned.
"it's why I've been acting so weird there's a prophecy that states that when appears the mare in the moon will signify the return of Nightmare Moon who'll bring about eternal night." Twilight explained.
"I see so you believe that this Nightmare Moon will return soon." Ash said.
Twilight nodded.
"yes that's why I've been in such a hurry to get here so that I can try and convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming and to find a way to stop her before it's too late." she said.
"don't worry Twilight I'm that we can stop here after all you can't give up hope." Ash said as he placed a hoof on her shoulder.
"I hope you're right Ash." Twilight said in worry as she looked back at the moon.
"come on guys it's time to watch the sun rise" Spike said.
A few hours later all of Ponyville was gathered in city hall waiting for the Princess to raise the sun.
"isn't this exciting?" Pinkie Pie said excited as she went up to Ash, Twilight, and Spike.
"are you excited I'm excited I've never been so excited well except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went [gasp] but really who can top that?" She said before Fluttershy's birds started to sing as a mare with light brown fur and a white mane and tail walked onto the stage.
"fillies and gentlecolts as Mayor of Ponyville it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration" she said as everypony cheered.
"in just a few moments our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year." the Mayor continued as Twilight looked at the moon in worry as the face disappeared.
"and now it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land the very Pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day the good the wise the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." she said as Fluttershy turned to her birds.
"ready?" She asked as the mayor finished her speech.
"...Princess Celestia!" She said signaling Rarity to open the curtain only to reveal nothing behind it.
"this can't be good." Twilight said as everypony started whispering to themselves.
"remain calm everypony there must be a reasonable explanation." the Mayor said.
"ooh ooh I love guessing games is she hiding?" Pinkie Pie questioned as she looked around.
"Pinkie Pie I don't think this is a game" Ash said as Rarity walked to the front of the balcony.
"she's gone" she said causing everypony to gasp in shock.
"ooh she's good." Pinkie Pie said before she screamed as a purple mist appeared on the balcony making everypony gasp.
"oh no." Twilight said as the mist started to take shape revealing a black fured mare and a purple mane and tail that flows like mist and Ash noticed that she was an Alicorn.
"Nightmare Moon." Twilight said as Spike fainted dramatically before Nightmare Moon started to speak.
"oh my beloved subjects it's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces." she said as everypony looked on in fear.
"what did you do with our princess?" Rainbow Dash demanded as she attempted to fly at Nightmare Moon only for Applejack to grab her tail with her teeth.
"slow down nelly" she said as Nightmare Moon laughed evilly.
"why? Am I not royal enough for you? don't you know who I am?" She questioned.
"ooh ooh more guessing games um hokey smokes, how about queen meanie, no black snooty, black snooty." but before Pinkie could continue guessing Applejack shoves a cupcake in her mouth to get her to stop talking as Nightmare Moon starts to look around the hall.
"does my crown no longer count now that I've been imprisoned for 1, 000 years? did you not recall the legend? did you not see the signs?" She questioned.
"I did and I know who you are you're the mare in the moon Nightmare Moon." Twilight said as everypony gasped in shock.
"well well well somepony who remembers me then you also know why I'm here?" Nightmare Moon questioned.
"you're here to...to." but Twilight to scared to finish her sentence just gulped in fear as Nightmare Moon laughed evilly.
"remember this day little Ponies for it is your last from this day forward the night will last forever!" She said with a evil laugh.
"I don't think so!" A voice called out causing her to stop laughing.
"who dares challenge me?" She demanded.
"I do." Ash said as he stepped forward.
"well well little Colt I must say you have a lot of nerve to challenge me do really wish to be destroyed that badly?" She questioned in a threatening tone.
"just try it no matter what I'm not letting you bring everlasting night!" Ash said with determination surprising everypony.
"very well then prepare yourself." Nightmare Moon said as she took a battle stance will Ash succeed? or will all of Equestria suffer in everlasting night?
