Ash the hope Prince of Equestria

by T3nk3n115

After returning home from Kalos, Ash learns from his mother that he is a lost Prince from the land of Equestria and that he must find his long-lost sisters. Will he find them? And what else is in store for our hero? Pairing Ash x Mane 6

9. Chapter 9: Sleepover and sibling hangout

We open in where we see a bunch of Pegasai gathering clouds together while a bunch of Ponies were bringing down tree branches.

We then see Rarity using her magic on a tree branch.

"Hmm. Hah! Perfect." she said as she rearranged the leaves on the branch into an art piece.

Only for a lasso to wrap around the branch before ripping it off the tree.

"Just take the broken limbs down, Rarity. Don't y'all care about nothin' other than prettifyin'?" Applejack questioned after spitting out the lasso.

"Somepony has to. You were making an absolute mess of the town square, Applejack." Rarity said.

"Yeah, well, the storm's gonna make an even bigger mess if we don't prune all these loose branches so they don't tumble down on anypony." Applejack said.

"I simply cannot imagine why the Pegasus ponies would schedule a dreadful downpour this evening and ruin what could have been a glorious sunny day." Rarity said.

Applejack sighs.

"Think more practical-like, will ya? They accidentally skipped a scheduled sprinkle last week, so we need a doozy of a downpour to make up for it, is all." she said.

rain starts pouring down.

"Oh no! My wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined!" Rarity said in distress.

Applejack rolls her eyes.

"Ya shoulda hurried up and finished the job already." She said.

"Oh! Ah! Oh! Ph! It's coming down too fast! Ah! Oh! Oh! Ah! Help me!" Rarity pleaded.

Applejack pushes a bench over to Rarity.

"Uh, there. Hunker down to yer heart's content whilst I finish things." Applejack said.

"Oh, no, no, no!" Rarity said.

"What now?" Applejack questioned.

"I prefer not to get my hooves muddy." Rarity said.

Applejack groaned.

"There is just no pleasin' ya, is there? Everything's got to be just so." Applejack said.

Rarity scoffs.

"Well, and how does muddying my hooves serve any useful purpose?" Rarity questioned.

"Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit'cha." Applejack said.

Rarity chuckled.

"That doesn't even make any sense." Rarity said.

They argue for a minute before glaring at each other.

"What say we go our separate ways before one of us says something she will regret?" Rarity questioned.

"I reckon y'all are gonna say something you'll regret first." Applejack said.

"On the contrary, I believe it shall most certainly be you who says something you will regret first." Rarity said.

Before either of them could leave a boom of thunder spooks them causing them to grab hold of each other.

"Perhaps we should stick together for now and find some shelter." Rarity said.

"Uh-huh, perhaps we should. And fast." Applejack said.

---

A full hour has passed as Applejack and Rarity attempt to seek shelter from the Storm.

"Heh. Nice and dry under here, sorta." Applejack said as she hid underneath a bench.

"Oh! Unacceptable." Rarity said in disgust.

Suddenly they hear a voice call out to them.

"Applejack! Rarity! Applejack! Rarity!" the voice said.

Both mares turned to see Twilight standing in front of her front door.

"Twilight?" they both questioned.

"Come inside girls, quick." Twilight said.

Both mares rush to Twilight's house before Applejack stopped in her tracks.

"Whoa, nelly. Is inside a tree really the best place to be in a lightning storm?" Applejack questioned.

"It is if you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do. Come on in!" Twilight said.

"Hah! We are most grateful for your invitation." Rarity said as she walked into Twilight's house.

"Thank ya kindly for yer hospitality." Applejack said.

But before she could walk through the door Rarity stops her.

"Uh, do be a polite house guest and go wash up please, won't you?" Rarity said.

"If I gotta spend one more second with that fussbudget Rarity today, I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do." Applejack muttered before walking back outside to wash her hooves.

"Some storm, huh? The Pegasus ponies sure have outdone themselves this time. I hope you and Applejack don't have any trouble getting home." Twilight said

thunder could be heard outside.

"It may indeed be a problem." Rarity said.

"Well, you're welcome to stay if need be. Spike is away in Canterlot on royal business. I'm home all alone tonight." Twilight said before letting out an excited gasp.

"You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those." She said.

Rarity smiled nervously.

"Oh! Uh, goodness. Uh, I do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening that completely slipped my mind until just now." She said.

Twilight looked at her in confusion.

"Ah, silly me, I can't possibly stay here all night - with Applejack." Rarity said.

Before she could walk out a book appeared in front of her.

"Slumber 101: All You've Ever Wanted to Know About Slumber Parties But Were Afraid to Ask." She said.

"My own personal copy. It's a fantastic reference guide. You should see the table of contents. I've been waiting for a chance to use it, and today is the day! This is gonna be so great!" Twilight said.

Rarity laughed nervously.

"Yes, uh, great." She said.

An hour later Applejack walked back inside after cleaning her hooves before letting out a gasp.

"What in tarnation" She said.

Sitting Before her was Twilight and Rarity who were wearing mud masks and had Avocado slices over their eyes.

"Now wait just a goll-darn minute. Ya make me wash the mud off my hooves, but it's okay for y'all to have mud all over yer faces?" Applejack said.

"Silly! This is called a mud mask. It's to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion." Rarity said.

"We're giving each other makeovers!" Twilight said with an excited giggle.

she then lifts up the book from earlier with her Magic

"We have to do it, it says so in the book." She said as she levitated the book over to Applejack.

"Slumber 101: Everything You..." Applejack started reading before her eyes widened.

"Oh hey, heh, would'ja look at the time. I gotta skidaddle on home quick. I'm powerful late for, uh, fer somethin'. Uh, g'night." she said before backing out of the house.

Suddenly a loud boom of thunder causing her to yelp before running back inside.

"Or maybe I'll sit here for a spell." she said.

Rarity giggled before noticing that a certain Colt was missing.

"Say Twilight where might Ash be?" She questioned.

"oh he went with Spike to Canterlot." Twilight said.

"Really why?" Applejack questioned.

"Well after being separated from them for so long he decided to make up for lost time by going over to Canterlot to hang out with them." Twilight said.

"I see I guess that makes sense." Applejack said a little bit disappointed that Ash wasn't there.

(An: gee I wonder why Applejack would be disappointed that Ash wasn't there~)

"Anyway hurray slumber party!" Twilight cheered.

---

Meanwhile with Ash.

"so Ash are you excited about hanging out with your sisters?" Spike questioned.

"Yeah, I only had two sworn brothers and female friends there were like sisters to me." Ash answered.

"You have sworn brothers!?" Spike questioned.

"Yeah, their names are Cody Andrews and Wolf Wild." Ash answered.

"Cool, what are they like?" Spike questioned.

As Ash went on about Cody and Wolf Spike imagined Ash, Cody, and Wolf as the adventurers in Oubliettes & Ogres Ash being a prince turn knight, Cody a wizard, and Wolf tricky from the sounds of it he could be either barbarian or a rogue.

"Wow, they sound awesome." Spike said.

"Yeah." Ash said but then his smile faded knowing he won't see Cody or Wolf again.

"Are you okay?" Spike questioned.

"Oh I'm fine just remember that I won't see them again." Ash answered.

"I'm sorry Ash." Spike said.

"It's fine Spike." Ash said as they came across of a familiar Donut Shop.

"Hey, how about a donut?" Spike questioned.

"Sure, wait isn't this one of the shops you and Twilight had to go to back when you used to live here?" Ash questioned.

"Yep." Spike said.

The two walk into the shop that looks like a 50's restaurant.

"This is an interesting place." Ash said.

Then a stallion that was built like Big Mac in from the back.

"Hey, Donut Joe." Spike said.

"Hey Spike," Donut Joe started he then did a bow as he saw Ash.

"You don't have to bow." Ash said.

"That didn't work with the Ponies in Ponyville and it won't here." The baby dragon said.

"I know." Ash said with a groan.

Donut Joe gets back up.

"So what can I do for you two today?" Donut Joe questioned.

"This time it's a to-go order, I'll take my usual." Spike answered.

"Okay and for you your majesty?" Donut Joe questioned.

"Two bear claws." Ash answered that is another thing the Ponies of Ponyville kept doing.

"Coming right up." Donut Joe said.

Donut Joe uses his magic to get a box and the items.

"Here you go." He said.

He floats it to Ash who takes it with his own magic.

"Thanks how much do we owe you?" Ash questioned.

"He could send the bill to the castle." Spike said.

"I couldn't do that to my sisters." Ash said.

"It's not like you're buying a ship trust me I've seen Prince Blueblood buy things that cost more than this box of donuts, beisode they do send you bits every month." the baby dragon said.

"True." Ash said.

Thought of the possible run-ins with the so-called Prince play out in Ash's mind.

"Spike's right without the two Bear Claws it won't cost that much, it will come to five bits." Donut Joe said.

Ash smiled before pulling out five bits.

He then put them on the counter the two then left the donut shop.

"Donut Joe makes the best donuts.." Spike said.

Spike tried reaching for a donut but Ash kept the box out of the dragon's reach.

"Hey!" Spike said.

"Wait until we're at the castle." Ash said.

Spike pouted.

"Okay." He said.

---

It takes them a half hour to reach the castle.

"Here we are." Spike said.

The guards at the gate salute Ash.

"Welcome Your Majesty." One of them said.

"Welcome Spike the dragon." The other guard said.

"Hey." Spike said.

The guards open the gates for Spike and Ash.

"Head inside." One guard said.

"Thank you." Ash said

As they walk in.

"Lead the way Spike." Ash said.

"Right." Spike said.

The baby dragon shows the alicorn the way to the throne room where Princess Celestia should be given the time.

"Here we are the throne room." Spike said.

Like at the gate, there is a set of guards.

The moment they see Ash they stand at attention and salute.

Then Ash pulls out earplugs and puts them in his ears.

"What are you doing with those?" Spike questioned.

"Insurance the last few times I was entering a throne room there was someone either noticing very loudly or trumpets playing when someone arrived." Ash answered.

"I see." Spike said.

As the guards open the door for the two they walk through and Ash forgets the third possibility, trumpets play loudly.

"NOW ARRIVING PRINCE ASHTON KETCHUM AND SPIKE THE DRAGON!" A stallion called once the trumpets stopped.

"GOOD CALL ON THE EAR PLUGS!" Spike said as his ear holes were ringing.

Ash removed the earplugs.

"Hello, little brother and Spike." Princess Celestia said.

"Hello, big sister Celestia." Ash said as he noticed other ponies that weren't guards in the room.

"Oh, I didn't notice that there were others in here." He said.

A couple of the Ponies bowed to Ash.

But a unicorn stallion with a white coat and a brushed back mane had a van dyke look at him.

Ash notices the Unicorn staring at him.

"Is there a problem? Sir?" Ash questioned.

The Unicorn scoffed.

"Chancellor Neighsay! Your prince asks you a question!" Princess Celestia said with an icy tone of voice that very few ever heard.

"Apologies, Your Majesty, but I'm having a hard time believing that this young colt is a Prince much less your brother." Neighsay said.

"He is my brother the note from our mother proves that he is my brother and as for why he is much younger than me, Princesses Luna and Mi Amore Cadenza it's because he was in another world." Princess Celestia said.

"Excuse me Your Majesty but another world that sounds a little hard to believe." Neighsay said.

"He uses some techniques in his first fight against Nightmare Moon and there are plenty of eyes witnesses two of which are guards." Princess Celestia said.

"I see and are these guards here now?" Neighsay questioned.

"Yes, they are." Princess Celestia said as she pointed to the two guards that guarded the doors to the throne room.

"So guards can you confirm the Princess's story?" Neighsay questioned.

"Indeed Prince Ashton had used a sphere of blue energy and at one point one of his hooves was on fire but the only one to take damage from it was Nightmare Moon." The guard on the right answered.

Neighsay narrowed his eyes.

"I see." He said.

"Anything else Chancellor?" Princess Celestia questioned.

"Why isn't he living in Canterlot like he should be?" Neighsay questioned.

"He is still new to our world and given Prince Blueblood's actions most of the ponies in this city would see him just like that." Princess Celestia answered

'Also I don't want those greedy nobles sending their daughters after Ash.' The white Alicorn thought.

"I see." Neighsay said.

"This that all?" Princess Celestia questioned.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Neighsay said.

'For now.' He thought.

Chancellor Neighsay leaves the throne room.

"I apologize for him, Ash." Princess Celestia said.

"It's fine I was expecting not everypony will welcome me with open hooves." Ash said.

Princess Celestia steps off her throne before pulling her little brother into a hug.

"I hope I didn't interrupt something." Ash said as he hugged back.

"Not really, just some royal duties I was finishing up." Celestia said.

"Was Chancellor Neighsay part of today's royal duties?" Ash questioned.

"Unfortunately." Celestia said.

"What is he in charge of?" Spike questioned as he has never seen the stallion until today.

"He is the head of the Equestrian Education Association, or EEA, a board of scholars who oversee all schools in Equestria." Celestia said.

"He was the one that came up with that stupid entrance exam?" Spike questioned.

"Unfortunately yes." Celestia said.

"What? entrance exam?" Ash questioned

Spike explained.

"But, won't that cost ponies their lives since they have to get new Dragon eggs?" Ash questioned.

"Now you see why not many Ponies like Neighsay." Celestia said.

'Which is why enrollment for my school had dropped after Twilight had passed the exam.' Celestia thought.

"How come he hasn't been fired yet?" Ash questioned.

"Not enough evidence to do so." Celestia answered.

"I see." Ash said.

'If Cody and Wolf were here they would mostly find the needed evidence and more.' Ash thought.

"But enough about that, I believe that we have more important things to do." Celestia said.

"Speaking of which where's Luna?" Ash questioned.

"Right here, little brother." A voice said.

Ash turns to where the voice came from.

From the shadows, Princess Luna steps into the light.

Ash went to his other sister and hugged her.

"It's good to see you Luna." Ash said.

"IT TRUE DELIGHT TO HAVE THOU HERE BELOVE LITTLE BROTHER." Luna said in a booming voice.

"Um Luna, you might want to hold off on doing the royal Canterlot voice." Celestia said.

"WHY? THE ROYAL FAMILY ALWAYS USED THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE?" Luna questioned.

"Because you're going to blow our little brother's eardrums out." Celestia said.

"GOOD… we mean good point." Luna said

"I'm sorry for that, Ash Luna is still acclimating to the to the modern ways of vocal communication." Celestia said.

'And the rest of the modern world.' She thought.

"It's fine. I was just surprised." Ash said.

Luckily this time Spike was the one who used the earplugs.

"I apologize, little brother." Luna said.

"It's fine Luna I've been through worse." Ash said.

"I see. Still, we are happy to have you back." Luna said.

"You too, so what do we have planned for my time here? also, did you tell Mayor Mare I'm not trying to rule Ponyville?" Ash asks.

---

While not doing his magic lessons or working on his flying Ash was nearly barred with the daily problems of Ponyville that needed the Mayor's attention.

"We've sent a few letters to her on that subject, and as for what we're doing, we figure we could spend the day relaxing, play a few games, and if you want you can tell us more about your adventures." Celestia said.

Ash did so as they left the throne room.

"Wow, you've been on an amazing journey, Ash." Celestia said.

"Those sworn brothers sound most honorable if they were here both would have given lordships." Luna said.

"I'm sure that you two would like them." Ash said.

'They sound much better than the last stallion I/we had dated/courted.' were the sisters' shared thoughts.

"Hey Luna, can I ask you something?" Ash questioned.

"What is that thou ask of us?" Luna asks

"How come you say us and we when addressing yourself?" Ash questioned.

"Because of our time as Nightmare Moon, we're as thou would say out of date." Luna answered.

"I see." Ash said.

They reach a room Celestia opens the doors.

"What room is this?" Ash questioned.

"One of the castle's game rooms mainly the board game room." Celestia answered as bookshelves lined the wall each filled with games in their boxes but one caught Spike's eyes

"No way! is that!" the baby dragon said as he ran to the sixth bookshelf on the back wall and grabbed the game that caught his attention

"Oubliettes & Ogres Fifth Edition Starter Set! I thought it wouldn't be out for another month!?" Spike said in shock

"Just one of the perks of being a Princess." Celestia said.

"What's Oubliettes & Ogres?" Ash questioned as he and his sisters enter the room.

Spike explains the game.

"Oh, like Mystery Dungeon." Ash said.

"Is that a Role-playing game that is set in fantasy land where you have to defeat some type of enemy?" Spike questioned.

Ash explains what Mystery Dungeon is about.

"So it is a Pokémon version of Oubliettes & Ogres!" Spike said.

"Yep, me, Cody, Wolf, and some of our other friends play it from time to time." Ash said.

"That's so cool!" Spike said.

"If you two don't mind we could play Oubliettes & Ogres?" Ash questioned.

"Sure just warning you now though but Luna and I would get a little competitive." Celestia said.

"It's not that type of game." Ash said.

"I know but we always seem to make anything a competition." Celestia said.

"Even for a thousand years?" Ash questioned.

"What can I say it's a bad habit, but we'll try to rein in our competitiveness." Celestia said.

"One that needs to be broken if you two want to co-rule Equestria." Ash said.

"We know." Luna said.

"I guess playing the game will be a step in the right direction." Ash said.

"Right, I'll set it up." Celestia said.

"Ready to be the lore keeper Spike?" Ash questioned.

"Yep." Spike said.

After fully explaining what role playing is to Luna they started to make their characters while Spike was learning the campaign and the new mechanics.

"Alright, Everypony ready?" Spike questioned.

"I am." Ash said.

"I am ready." Celestia said.

"We are ready as well." Luna said.

"Alright let's begin." Spike said.

---

The scene changes to one of a inn.

"We open to you in an Inn." Spike narrated.

"Doesn't these start at a pub?" Celestia questioned as she remembered the few times she overheard a few of Spike's games

"Not this time." Spike said.

Ash laughs at the question seeing the look the three give him he stops.

"Sorry, but during the first time me, Brock, Cody, and Wolf played Mystery Dungeon Wolf was the Lore Keeper for that campaign and he had pointed out that not only had the pubs been done to death but people went to them to relax and forget about their problems we all agree with his reasoning." Ash told them

"I see." Celestia said.

"Anyway let's get back to it." Spike said.

'The more we hear about this Wolf the more we think he could have been the one to save us from becoming Nightmare Moon.' Luna thought.

"It's here you sit drink at your side as you contemplate your next destination." Spike said.

At one table a big dog-like creature was drinking from a wooden mug's heavy army made a sound as its owner made a move.

Then two mares walk to the dog's tablet.

"Now filled with excitement you introduce yourself." Spike said.

The dog sets his drink down before turning to the mares.

"I'm Rex, who are two?" Rex questioned.

Celestia's character speaks first.

"I'm Sun Flair." Celestia's character speaks.

Then Luna's Character spoke.

"We're Clover the wise." Luna's character said.

"The two mares sit at your table, and the 3 of you discuss important matters." Spike narrated.

Sun and Clover pulled out chairs and sat on them.

"So is there something you two wish to talk to me about?" Rex questioned.

"We wish to hire your aid." Clover said.

"What's the job?" Rex questioned.

"We're on a quest to get a magical totem from ruins in the nearby mountain." Sun Flair answered.

"I see and I'm assuming that it's not that easy." Rex said.

"So far no pony had return." Clover said.

"I see what should we expect?" Rex questioned.

"We have no clue what monsters claim that mountain home." Clover said

"Well, we'll have to prepare for anything." Rex said.

"Indeed we don't know what fowl creatures are in waiting." Sun Flair said.

"Then let's stock up on supplies." Rex said.

Rex put some coins on the table.

"Let's go." He said.

They leave the Inn.

"Your party walks through town heading into various stores to stock up on food, water, and tools." Spike narrated.

"Where to now good hound?" Clover asks.

Rex looks up at the night sky.

"We should begin our trek in the morning." He said.

They had to head back to the Inn.

"Your party rest for the night and the next morning you prepare to set off on your quest." Spike narrated.

Rex was checking his gear in his room, while the two mares did the same in their.

"Alright, let's do this." Rex said.

He leaves the room and knocks on the door to the next door.

"You two ready?" Rex questioned.

"We are." Sun Flair said

"Good let's go." Rex said.

The party of three leaves the inn.

"Soon your party heads out on their adventure." Spike Narrated.

The part travels down a dirt road.

"After a couple of days of traveling, your party arrives at your destination." Spike narrated.

"Of course, our Clover reach the mountain first!" Luna said.

"No, I believe it would be Sun Flare." Celestia said.

'And it's starts.' The boys thought with a sweat drop.

"Celestia, Luna, remember your promise." Ash said.

Both mares look sheepish.

"Just for that for both mares arrived there out of breath and sweating up a storm." Spike said.

Both mares sigh in embarrassment.

In the game, both mares were in a pool of their own sweat.

"If you two want, we can take a break." Rex said.

"Yes, please." Sun Flare said.

"Your party then stops to rest." Spike narrated.

Rex is sitting on a rock reading a scroll.

"What are you reading Rex?" Clover questioned.

"A story from my homeland." The large dog answered.

"Really? What is it called?" Sun Flare questioned.

"The tale of Sir Aaron." Rex answered.

"I've never heard of this story." Sun Flare said.

Rex explains the story.

"Wow." Sun Flare said.

"Yeah, it's an amazing story." Rex said.

"I bet." Clover said.

"Don't start another competitive." Rex said.

"We won't." Clover and Sun Flare said at the same time.

Rex stares at them.

"Let's go." Rex said.

Rex rolls up his scroll and puts it in his backpack.

"Right, we've rested long enough." Clover said.

"Arreed" Sun Flare said.

"Your party continues your journey until finally you arrive at your destination." Spike narrated.

In front of the group is a stone arch with ancient writing.

"We made it." Sun Flare said.

"And it's quite as a grave," Clover said.

"We should be careful." Rex said.

Sun Flare creates a ball of light.

"Can either decipher the writing?" Rex questioned.

"No." Clover answered.

"Then I guess we're going in blind." Rex said.

"Yep." Sun Flare said.

"You cautiously walk through the Arch with weapons drawn ready for a fight." Spike said.

Rex has a sword and shield, Clover a staff, and Sun Flare has a crossbow.

"It's quiet, too quiet." Rex said.

Spike stares at Ash.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Ash said.

Spike rolls the dice.

"Suddenly you walk into an ambush." He narrated.

The small party went back to back.

"Roll for initiative." Spike said.

The siblings roll their dices.

Ash's roll was the highest.

Luna roll was the second highest.

"And we go second." She said.

Celestia's roll was the lowest while Spike's was the second lowest.

"Alright, Rex you attack first." Spike said.

"Then our Clover." Luna said.

"Right then my Sun Flare." Celestia said.

"No, Since my roll is higher than yours Princess the Knolls goes before Sun Flare." Spike said.

"Uh oh." Celestia said.

Rex raises his shield to block a stone axe.

Ash rolls a 19.

The blow was blocked.

"Darn it." Rex said.

Rex retaliates striking the knoll in the chest.

The monster fell back.

"Clover it's your turn." Spike said.

"We shall strike the enemy bows!" Luna said.

Luna rolls a 17.

Clove fires off some arrows.

Soon the enemy archers fall to the ground.

Then a small team of them went to Sun Flare.

"Alright make a saving roll." Spike said.

Celestia roll her die.

She gets a 16.

"Sunflare will cast a fireball spell!" Celestia said

"Then you roll the wrong dice." Spike said.

Celestia looks at her dice.

"For the fireball spell you have to use a ten-sided die then roll a 20-sided die to get the total damage." Spike said.

"Can I still roll it?" Celestia questioned.

"Yes," Spike answered.

She rolls the die.

Celestia's ten-sided die lands on one.

"Oh no." She said.

The spell didn't hit the knolls.

"You missed." Spike said.

"And your spell hits a nearby wall." Spike said.

"Darn it." Celestia said.

"And oh." Spike started.

"What is it?" Celestia questioned.

"Your spell started a chain of events that opened a hole under your party." Spike said

Soon a hole opens under Rex, Clover, and Sun Flare.

"Oh dog poop bags." Rex said.

As they fall.

Luna was laughing.

"It's not funny sister." Celestia said.

"We were just remembering when our teacher had us gather some crystals and the same thing happened to us." Luna said.

Hearing the memory Celestia pouted.

"Huh?" both boys said.

"Would thou like for me to recall upon that tale?" Luna questioned.

"Sure." Ash and Spike said at the same time.

"Luna don't you dare!" Celestia said

Luna ignores her.

"One day our teacher Star Swirl the Bearded asked us to gather some crystals within Canterlot Mountain, after we had gathered enough, Celestia ate the old bread we were going to use to find our back so our sister had the idea to starts blasted the walls only to have us fell into a hole," Luna said while under the stable Celestia rub her right flack.

Ash and Spike burst out laughing.

"Star Swirl had to teleport to find us," Luna said.

Ash and Spike laughed harder.

"Can we please get back to the game?" Celestia questioned

"Alright so your party fell down a hole" Spike rolls the dice to see how they land.

He gets a 19.

Spike checks the book and he starts chuckling.

"What?" Celestia asks

Spike snickers as he narrates what happened.

"While Rex and Clover land safely in a pool of water Sun Flare, however." Spike said.

We see Sun Flare has landed on her left flack but her landed site was a stalagmite.

"ooooh." Rex and Clover said.

Luna laughs at her sister's luck.

Celestia pouts.

"I'm guessing something similar happens to you?" Ash questioned.

Celestia says nothing.

"Oh." Ash said

'I wonder what Twilight will give me to learn this bit of info about her teacher?' Spike thought.

"Let's just keep playing." Celestia said.

Rex climbs the stalagmite and gets the unicorn mare.

"You okay?" he questioned.

"Yes." Sun Flare said as she cast a healing spell on herself.

"Let's keep moving." Rex said.

The dog then pulls out a piece of paper and charcoal from his bag.

"What are you doing?" Sun Flare questioned.

"Making a map." Rex answered.

"I see." Sun Flare said.

The three make their way through the ruins.

"Your party walks through the ruins weapons drawn." Spike said.

Sun Flare cast a light spell.

"What do you think we'll encounter?" Clover questioned.

"I don't know, at best some traps." Rex answered.

"Right." Sun Flare said.

The Party went on.

Spike rolls his dice.

"Hmm." Spike said.

He gets a 16

The party entered a hallway there were three doors.

"Which door should we use?" Clover questioned.

"Two are most likely traps." Rex said.

"Right so which one do we choose?" Clover questioned.

"You're the rouge couldn't you figure out if the doors are traps or not?" Sun Flare questiond.

"Right let me see." Clover said.

Luna rolls her dice.

Luna rolled a 12

Spike narrates what happens.

"You check the floor first." Spike narrates.

As Clover checks the floor.

So far it wasn't a trap.

"As far as I can tell it's all clear." Clover said.

Clover went to the doors.

She cautiously takes a step forward.

Luna rolled her dice

She gets a 18.

The first was safe.

"This one is okay." Clover said.

She went to the next one.

She rolls her dice.

It's lands on a 13.

Clover steps forward.

"Hmm?" She said.

Suddenly a piece of woods smacks her in the face.

Rex quickly removed the wood as Clover cast a healing spell.

"You okay?" Rex said.

"We'll be fine in a few minutes." Clover answered.

"Okay." Rex said.

Luna rolls her dice.

It's a nat 20.

She checks the last door.

She rolls her dice.

It's lands on a 19

As she steps forward nothing happens.

"That means either safe door could lead us to a dead end or another trap." Rex said

"Right." Clover said.

"So which door?" Sun Flare questioned.

"The first one." Clover said.

"And if it is a trap then we'll just turn around and you know." Rex said.

"Right." Sun Flare said.

They went through the door on the left.

So far everything is calm.

They went through the hallway.

"So far so good." Rex said.

The party of three tries to check the walls as they go by.

"I don't like how quiet it is." Sun Flare said.

"Are thou trying to temp the fates!?" Clover questioned.

"Oh come on Clover what could happen?" Sun Flare questioned.

As soon as those words leave Sun Flare's mouth a click could be heard.

"You were saying?" Clover questioned sarcastically.

"One moment," Celestia said as she got up and left the room.

"Where's she going?" Ash questioned.

"We have no idea." Luna lied.

---

In the sculpture garden

Celestia sits down and takes a deep breath.

Celestia after seconds she went a part of the garden that hold a certain statue.

She breathes a sigh of relief when she sees that the statue was still there.

She turns around and head back.

---

After a minute she walks back into the room.

There were now bottles and bags of chips on the table.

"Sorry about that I just had to check on something." Celestia said.

"It's fine as you can see we get some sneaks and drikes." Ash said.

"I see." Celestia said.

Celesia went back to her seat.

"Alright, where were we?" Celestia questioned.

"Sun Flare jinxing the party." Ash recalled.

"Right." Celestia said.

The sealing desneded onup the group.

"Uh oh we need to get out of here!" Rex said.

The group started to run.

Ash, Celestia, and Luna roll their dice.

All three siblings roll a 18.

"Your party barley manages to escape into another room." Spike narrated.

The three dive into the room before they are crushed.

"That was close." Rex said.

"Yeah." Clover said.

"I apologize for setting that trap off." Sun Flare said.

"It's fine." Rex said.

They then continue their trek through the ruins.

So far they have found empty rooms.

"So far, we've found nothing." Clover said.

"There is still more to the ruins." Sun Flare said.

"Right." Clover Said.

They went on searching the ruins.

"You soon enough come across a large room." Spike narrated.

'Shocker.' both Ash and Spike thought.

"And you move in weapons at the ready." Spike narrated.

They walk toward the chest at the back wall.

"Are there any traps?" 'Rex questioned.

Clover went closer to the chest.

Luna rolls her dice.

It lands on an 18.

Spike narrates what happened next.

"The chest wasn't trap." Spike said.

"The chest isn't rigged with a trap." Clover said.

Sun Flare walks up to it and tries to up it only to get zapped.

"I thought you said that it wasn't trapped?" She questioned.

"It isn't!" Clover said.

"It could be protected by a spell." Rex said.

"Let me check." Sun Flare said.

Clover cast a spell to see if there is a spell on the chest.

Celestia rolls her dice.

It lands on 18.

Spike narrated what happened next.

"Sun Flare spell works." Spike started.

"The chest is safe to open." She said.

"With how your luck has been I better open the chest." Rex said.

Sun Flare pouts.

The dog opens the chest.

He looks to see what's inside.

"What does the item you two questing for look like?" Rex questioned.

Sun Flare explains.

"Then we have to take the whole chest." Rex said.

"Right." Clover said.

"Wait? What!?" Both Clover and Sun Flare said.

"the two mares ran to the chest to see what Rex meant.

Inside the chest were the item in question but there were many of them.

"There's so many." Sun Flare said.

"And we can't stay here and try to figure out which one is the real one." Clover said.

"Right." Clover said.

Rex closes the chest and picks it up.

"Alright let's find a way out of here." He said.

The three leave the room.

"So how should we exit these ruins?" Clover questioned.

"We head back to the room we fell in." Rex answered.

"Right." Sun Flare said.

They make their way back to the two other doors.

"So far, so good." Rex said.

Clover opens the door on the right.

"Be careful." Clover said.

The party went on as carefully as it could be.

So far the party hadn't run into any traps.

Then they had reach a set of stairs.

"Do you think that these stairs lead outside?" Clover questioned.

"Possible." Rex said.

"We should proceed with caution." Sun Flare said.

"That's goes without saying." Rex said.

As they walk up the stairs.

Since she is a Pegasus Clover went ahead.

Luna rolls her dice.

Her dice lands on 12.

Spike narrates what happens next.

"While the stairs aren't set with traps." the baby dragon said.

"It doesn't mean that there aren't dangers." He said.

"We agree with thy." Clover said.

"You were unaware of the eyes that are watching you." Spike said.

As they walk a figure attempts to attack Rex from behind.

Rex tries to slam the figure against the wall.

Ash rolls his dice.

Ash's dice lands on 13

Spike narrates what happens next.

"The figure doesn't take damage from that." the baby dragon said.

"Darn it." Ash said.

The two mares turn around to see what is happening.

"Rex!" Clover shouted in concern.

Sun Flare tries to aim a spell at the figure.

Celestia rolls her dice.

it's landed on a 20

"Wow, a natural 20." Spike said.

Sun Flare's fireball spell hits the figure.

"Thanks, Sun Flare." Rex said.

"You're welcome." Sun Flare said.

Soon more figures pop up.

"Oh, horse apples." Sun Flare said.

"Roll for initiative." Spike said.

Ash rolls a 13, Celestia rolls a 16, Luna rolls an 11 and Spike rolls a 7.

"Alright Sun Flare goes first, Rex goes second, and Clover goes third." Spike said.

"And our foes will fall before they get their chance, is thy sure this is not a tool to plan out future wars?" Luna ask.

"No sister it's just a game." Celestia said.

"Rex set down the chest and drew his sword and shield." Ash said.

Rex puts down the chest before drawing his weapons.

The mares went to regroup with the dog.

"I cast multiple fireballs at our enemies." Celestia said.

The sun princess rolls her d20 and d6.

She gets an 18 on her d20 and a 4 on her d6.

"Your raid fire fireballs hit and burn most of the enemies." Spike said.

"Yes." Celestia said.

"Rex stand guard." Ash said.

"Alright and you're ending your turn with that?" Spike questioned.

"This campaign is like one I had played before let's just say I don't want a repeat history." Ash said.

"I see so Clover it's your turn." Spike said.

"We will rain arrows on our enemies!" Luna said.

Luna rolls her dice.

her D20 lands on 16 and her D8 lands on a 6.

Spike narrates what happens.

"You fire one bolt at a time." he started.

Clover fires one arrow after the other at their enemies.

It was Spike's turn.

He rolls his dice.

"Then the leader show themselves." Spike said.

A large shadow shambles into view.

They face the security of the shadow.

"The boss takes a swing at Rex." Spike said.

"Rex will block." Ash said.

Ash rolls his dice.

It's lands on 15

Spike narrates what happens.

"You would able to block the swing." Spike said.

The leader's weapon slams into Rex's shield but the shield holds.

"I try another fireball spell!" Celestia said.

Celestia rolls her D20s and D6.

"Your spell hit the boss." Spike said.

Sun flare shoots another fireball at the leader severely damaging it and leaving it burned.

"Our Clover try to tie up the foe!" Luna said.

Luna rolls her dice.

Luna's landed on a seven.

Spike narrates what happens.

"The boss grabs you." Spike narrated.

The leader reaches out and grabs Clover.

"Uh oh." She said.

The leader was about to slam Clover to the floor.

"I rescue Clover by slashing the Leader's eye out." Ash said before rolling his dice.

Ash dice land on a 15 and 3.

Spike narrates what happens.

"Your attack lands." he said.

Rex charges at the leader before swinging his sword cutting out one of the leader's eyes.

The leader lets go of Clover as they cover their sole eye.

"You alright?" Rex questioned.

"We are fine." Clover answered.

"Good but we aren't done yet." Rex said.

"We will try to tie up the foe once more," Clover said.

Luna rolls her dice.

she gets a 16 and a 4.

Spike narrates what happens.

"You were able to tie up the leader this time." Spike said.

Clover sends out ropes of magic this time successfully tying up the leader preventing him from moving.

Celestia checked her spell list.

"I cast a confusion spell to make the enemies attack each other." Celestia said before rolling her dice.

It's lands on a 13

Spike narrates what happens.

"Your spell works." He said.

Sun Flare casts a spell on to the enemies who go into a confused frenzy before attacking their leader.

"Go nuts you crazy nuts." Sun Flare said.

All three give Celestia a look.

"That was funny." Luna said.

"Should we do something or just watch?" Rex questioned.

"We believe we should as today's creatures would say "get in while the doing is nice"." Clover said.

"The saying is "Get out while the getting is good" Luna." Ash said.

"Yes, that's what we meant." Luna said.

"Any way we use the distraction to escape with the chest." Ash said.

Rex picked up the chest.

"Let get out of here while they're distracted.

The party quickly leaves the room.

"You managed to escape the enemy and made it out of the ruins." Spike said.

Then they heard a knock.

"Who is it?" Celestia questioned.

"It's Raven your Highnesses." A female voice answered.

"Come in." Celestia said.

Then a white coat earth pony mare dark brown mane, and lighter brown eyes, her cutie mark is an ink pen and inkwell, walks in.

"Raven, what do we owe for this visit?" Celestia questioned.

"Some business came up that needs both your and Princess Luna's attention." Raven answered.

"Alright thank you Raven." Celestia said.

"We will return soon brother." Luna said

"Okay." Ash said.

"Since your sisters are going to work we should drain our chamber pots." Spike said.

"Right." Ash said.

Ash writes a note for his sisters as he and Spike leave the room to release themselves.

Soon the Princesses return to the room before seeing the note.

Celestia picked up the note and read it

"Dear Celestia and Luna, Spike and I went to the restroom see you both once we're done love your brother Ash." the note read

Luna sees an odd game on one of the shelves the lunar Alicorn goes to see what it is and her cheeks start to burn.

"SISTER!" Luna said while bringing the game to the white Alicorn.

"What is it, Luna?" Celestia questioned.

"Did thou have forbidden love with thy teachers or did thou we were going to perform one of the acts the sisters should not with their brothers?" Luna questioned.

Celestia sees the game.

And her cheeks now have a pink glow to them

"WHAT IS THIS GAME DOING HERE!?" Celestia questioned shocked that a game meant for the bedroom would be the game room.

"We're assuming that you didn't intend for this to be here." Luna said.

"No, RAVEN!" Celestia said before calling the earth pony mare.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Raven said.

Raven runs into the game room.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Raven said.

"Tell me why is this "game" here I thought I had ordered that no games of any kind with the M-rating should be in this room!?" Princess Celestia questioned while showing Raven the game in question.

Her cheeks turn a bright pink.

Then they hear somepony coming.

"I'm telling you, once the Princesses are done playing that dorky game and leave to do some pointless paperwork we walk in and offer the prince some strong wine then plays the game I have my cousin put in the game room as well as drink the potion to ensure we have "buns in our oven"." a mare's voice said.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Another mare's voice questioned.

"This may be our only chance after our siblings failed to be friends with Sunset before her fallout with Princess Celestia and we can't just let some backwoods hick mare get her mud-covered hooves on Prince Ash." the first mare said as the two walked into the game room.

"But what if the princesses find out?" The second mare questioned while not noticing Celestia and Luna in the room.

"Princess Celestia would be too busy ruling by herself while trying to update her old school sister by the time they find out it would be too late." The first mare answered.

"Really now?" Celestia questioned angrily.

The two mares stopped and saw two very enraged Alicorn mares.

"Oh, hello your majesties." The first said nervously.

"GUARDS COME! YOUR PRINCESSES ORDERS THOU!" Luna ordered while using the Royal Canterlot voice.

Soon the guards arrived.

But they aren't the normal Royal Guards they have gray-blue coats with blue armor and both have bat wings.

"Yessss, Princessssss Luna!" Both said.

"It appears that these two harlots were scheming to have their way with our little brother. I want them detained and ready to be prosecuted for even daring to do such a horrible thing to our dear brother" Luna commanded.

The two mares were about to ask Princess Celestia to have mercy on them but the look she gave them said otherwise.

"You dare have the gall to try to get our little brother drunk so you can take advantage of him be lucky that I prefer peace otherwise you two would not be breathing right now." Celestia said.

'In fact, if this was the time I had sealed away Luna you two won't even be dust!' she thought now she had both of her siblings back Celestia wouldn't allow anyone to take them away from her or harm them in any way.

"Take them away." Luna commanded.

"As you command Princesses." the Night guards said as they took away the mares.

"Raven tell Captain Armor about this and have him find the guard who snuck this game in here!" Celestia told Raven.

"At once your Majesty." Raven said before leaving the room.

"Raven you forgot to take the "game" with you." Celestia called back.

"Sorry, your Majesty." Raven said before taking the game and leaving.

After a few seconds, Spike and Ash walk back in.

"Did we miss anything?" Ash questioned.

"There were some mice that had snuck into the room the Night Guards had taken them away and we'll deal with them tomorrow when you head back to Ponyville." Celestia answered.

"Okay." Ash said as he and Spike sat back down.

"You three stop to catch your breath." Spike narrated.

The three adventurers sit down tired after the fight.

"That was a close call." Sun Flare said.

"Yeah but at least we got away." Rex said.

"We should have guessed monsters would claim the ruins as home." Clover said.

"Right but at least we didn't leave empty-handed." Rex said.

"Indeed however we still don't know which idol is the real one." Sun Flare said.

"Right, so what should we do?" Rex questioned.

"Sun Flare doesn't thou have the ability to tell which one is the real one?" Clover questioned.

"I believe let me try." Sun Flare said.

Celestia rolls her dice.

It's lands on a 17

Spike narrates what happens next.

"Sunflare uses a spell to find the real one." Spike said.

Sun Flare casts a spell causing one of the idols to glow.

"That's the real one." the unicorn mare said.

Rex picks up the idol.

"Clover do you have any bomb?" Rex questioned.

"Yes, we do?" Clover said.

"Please, hand me one." Rex questioned.

Clover hands Rex one of her explosives.

He put it in the chest, the dog stuck the fuse out through a hole he made in the to as he closed the chest.

"Once we're at a safe distance light the fuse Sun Flare." Rex said.

"Right." Sun Flare said.

The three move to a safe distance away from the chest.

"Alright Sun Flare do it." Rex said.

Spike looks through the campaign book then he looks at Ash.

"How did you know that was the only safe route?" he questioned in shock.

"Just a lucky guess." Ash said.

"Like I said before this campaign is like one I hadn't played before back in the Pokémon world." Ash answered.

"Alright then." Spike said before returning to the game.

"The chest was destroyed and no one was affected by the fake idiots being blown up." Spike said.

"Well, we got what we came for." Rex said.

"To the village!" Sun Flare said.

"Right." Rex said.

"The three left for the village." Spike narrated.

After a few days later the party made it back to the village.

"Upon their arrival, they were greeted by the villagers." Spike said.

After stepping foot into the village the residents come out of their homes to welcome the party back.

"They live out their lives in peace as they bath in glory," Spike narrated

And so the party continues to live their lives full of adventure.

"And that's campaign." Spike said.

"That was fun." Ash said.

Luna nodded while their sister look confused.

"So are all campaigns this short?" Celestia questioned.

"Besides being a starter campaign, Ash had played one like this and knew which route was the safe one." Spike said as he handed the campaign book to Celestia.

Celestia reads it.

True to his word Celestia saw how the campaign could have gone if they hadn't blown up the chest or if there wasn't a unicorn that could find the true idol.

"I see." Celestia said.

Celestia put the book down and checked the clock on the wall.

"Looks like it's late." She said.

"We should have dinner." Celestia said.

"Sure I'm starving." Ash said.

"Same." Spike said.

They get up and leave the room before heading to the dining room.

They each take a seat across from one another.

A cook walks in.

"What would their highnesses like to have for today's lunch?" he questioned.

The group tells them what they want for dinner.

"I'm okay with a strew." Ash said.

"A salad for us." Luna said.

"And you know what I'll will have." Spike said.

"Very well and for you Princess Celestia?" The Cook questioned.

"I'll have a bowl of onion soup." Celestia answered.

"Very good I'll be back with your food." The cook said before walking back into the kitchen.

"Thank you." all four said.

As they wait.

"So Luna how's adjusting to modern life going?" Ash questioned.

"Slow but steady we are hoping to meet with our subjects in Ponyville someday." Luna said.

"Maybe you can meet them on Nightmare Night." Spike said.

'I knew I forgot to tell him something.' Celestia thought.

"What's Nightmare Night?" Ash questioned.

Celestia gives Spike a little heated glare before explaining what Nightmare Night is.

"Oh." Ash said.

Luna has a disappointed look on her face.

"I'm sorry Luna it was not my idea to make it into a holiday and I hope to make them see that you're not Nightmare Moon anymore." Celestia said.

Spike was about to say something but Ash kicked him under the table.

"Don't worry, Luna. I'm sure that in time, they'll see you for who you are and not who you used to be." Ash said.

Luna gave both of her siblings a soft smile.

"Thank you." She said.

"So is there any other family members I should know about?" Ash questioned.

"There's our nephew Blueblood." Celestia said.

"Yeah, how are you three related to him?" Spike questioned.

"He's our distant nephew 52 times removed on our mother's side." Celestia said.

"We had another sibling?" Ash asks so far his mother only told him has two sisters.

"Not as far as we know but we don't like talking about Blueblood." Celestia said.

"Then shouldn't he be our cousin instead of our nephew?" Ash questioned.

"That's what we have been saying!" Luna said.

"Anyway, there's also Princess Mi Amore Cadenza but she likes to go by Princess Cadence though she's not related to us by blood I took her in as our niece." Celestia said.

"She was Twilight's foal-sitter." Spike added.

"I see I hope that I get to meet her." Ash said.

"I'm sure you will at the Gala." Celestia said.

"Oh! That reminds me." Celestia said.

She uses her magic to teleport a ticket to her.

"You need this it slips my mind." Celestia said as she floated the ticket to Ash.

"I take it this is the Gala ticket." Ash said.

"Yep, since the only ponies that know what you look like are in Ponyville if you try to just walk into the Gala the guards would turn you away." Celestia said.

"Makes sense." Ash said.

Ash takes the ticket and puts it in his saddle bags.

Soon their food arrived.

"Enjoy your lunch." a castle staff pony said.

"Thank you. " the group said.

They return to where they were at.

"So who else will I expect to see at the Gala?" Ash questioned.

"The nobility across Equestria or those that can make it, our captain of the guard who is also Twilight's brother Shining Armor, the Wonderbolts, the rest of the members of the EEA, other members of our kingdom's systems, and a few Celebrities." Celestia answered.

"Cool and can I ask a few things in regards to a couple of my friends back in Ponyville?" Ash questioned.

"Sure ask away." Celestia answered.

"Would it be okay for Applejack to sell her Apple treats at the Gala?" Ash questioned.

This question confused the sun Princess.

"But, aren't the Apple family part owners of Rich's Barnyard Bargains?" Celestia questioned.

"I don't know who that is but I doubt some of the nobility at Gala are gonna care." Ash said.

"What is the reason for her need to sell her apple treats?" Celestia said.

"She wants the bit to fix up some stuff in Sweet Apple Acres and to replace old equipment." Ash said.

"Also they need to fix their barn's roof and their grandmother needs a new hip." Ash said.

"I see and I'll allow Applejack to sell her treats, and the other question?" Celestia questioned.

'Look like someponies had been lying to me for years about the Apples.' she thought as she needed to check the paperwork about the Apple Family of Ponyville.

"And then there's my friend Fluttershy who loves animals and I'm sure that she'll want to befriend the ones in the garden." Ash said.

"I'm afraid the animals aren't that welcoming to ponies some of them were owned by either nobles or rich ponies that didn't treat them well, while others are wild and are only there for a few days." Celestia said.

"Fluttershy won't be happy to hear that." Ash said.

"I'm sorry." Celestia said.

"It's better she knows now instead of trying to force those animals into liking her with who is at the Gala she might give Ponies the wrong idea about her." Ash said as he tries his stew.

"True." Celestia said.

"Knowing Rainbow she will try everything to get the Wonderbolts' attention." Spike added as he was enjoying his gems.

"I remember she and Twilight mentioning them but who are they exactly?" Ash questioned.

"The Wonderbolts are an elite squad of Pegasus ponies led by the current Captain Spitfire who perform aerial acrobatics, demonstrations as well some military duties." Celestia answered

"And let me guess they are the ones who Chancellor Neighsay normally uses to get the eggs for the entrance exam?" Ash said.

"Yep." Celestia said.

"They must not like him that much." Ash said.

"You have no idea." Celestia said.

"Since it's mid-day thou will now spend with us while our older sister does her duties." Luna said.

"Okay." Ash said.

"Hold it right there Luna I'm sure I don't have anything planned for this afternoon." Celestia said.

"Are you sure about that sister?" Luna questioned.

"I'll ask Raven." Celestia said.

Then the aforementioned mare walks in.

"Ah, Raven, right on time. I wish to ask you something." Celestia said.

Raven thought about it.

"What is it, your majesty?" She questioned.

"Do I have any duties today?" Celestia questioned.

"Let me think." Raven said

"Does she usually have a lot of duties?" Ash questioned.

"Oh, yes lots." Raven answered as she pulled out a scroll from her mane.

As soon as she began unraveling it looked to be as long as the table.

Both of the younger siblings look at their older sister.

Celestia says nothing as her left eye twitches.

'I really need to catch Luna up to date so she can take some of the load.' Celestia thought.

"Well, sister it looks like our dear brother will indeed spend time with us while thou does her duties." Luna said as a smug smile appeared on her face.

"I'm sure some of these I can finish fast." Celestia said.

"Are you sure." Ash said.

"I'm sure." Celestia said

"You shouldn't try you might not know what can be rushed and what can't." Ash said.

"I can handle it Ash." Celestia said.

"We think our brother meant the other ponies might not keep up with thou." Luna said.

"Oh well don't worry Ash they're capable." Celestia said.

'Thought I'd get good payback at them for cutting into my time with my siblings.' She thought.

They went back to eating their lunch.

'I wonder if I'll have to do those too?' Ash thought.

Then Ash remembers Celestia had to rule alone for so long.

'Then again she only has so many duties because she had to run a kingdom alone for so long.' Ash thought.

He felt bad about living in Ponyville, if he hadn't Celestia would have less on her plate.

'I hope that I can help her in the future.' Ash thought.

Once the four were finished the staff took the plates, silverware, and cups.

"man that food was good." Ash said.

"Yeah." Spike agreed.

"I'm glad that you enjoyed the food." Celestia said.

"Yeah, I had five-star restaurant food before." Ash said.

"I see." Celestia said.

Ash told the story of how he and his friends were able to eat at a five-star restaurant for free.

"Wow." Spike said.

"Yeah, it's one of the moments Wolf doesn't let Misty live down." Ash said.

"Who's Misty?" Spike questioned.

Ash went on to explain who Misty was, and the moments that Wolf doesn't let her live down as well as who is to his sisters.

'Sounds like this Misty needs to learn to be more humble.' Celestia thought.

'This Misty should thank the star she was born under if she were here she would be banished to the moon if not end up just like our first foe.' Luna thought.

Then the two sister's thoughts turned to Wolf.

'Wolf sounds like an interesting person.' Celestia thought.

'Wolf sounds like the ideal captain for my guard.' Luna thought.

"So tell us more about your friends Ash." Celestia said.

Ash went to talk about his friends in the Pokémon world.

'This Brock character really needs to not flirt with every cute girl he meets.' Celestia thought.

'He is nearly as bad as Blueblood.' Luna thought.

Then they hear more of Cody.

'Cody sounds like a well-meaning young man.' Celestia thought

Then Ash started talking about his rivals.

'Paul and Trip are major jerks/low lives.' Were the shared thoughts of the sisters.

And then he started talking about the legendary Pokémon he met.

'Oh my, those creatures would give anyone trouble.' Luna thought.

He then talks about Team Rocket.

'If those three show up it will be a one-way trip to the sun/moon for them.' were the shared thoughts of the sisters.

Ash then talks about the Gym Leaders.

'Wolf would be a much better Gym Leader than most of those so-called Gym Leaders.' Luna thought

"I'm sorry to cut your story time short but your next appointment will start in five minutes Princess Celestia." Raven said.

Celestia sighed.

"I'm sorry but I have to go." the white Alicorn said.

"It's okay we'll see you later." Ash said.

Celestia and Spike went their way while Ash and Luna went another.

"So Luna do you have anything planned for the two of us?" Ash questioned.

"We thought you could help us mmm, caught on the day." Luna said.

"You mean get caught up to date?" Ash questioned.

"Yes, that." Luna said

"Okay though the first things first you know that shout you did when me and Spike showed up?" Ash questioned.

"Ah, yes the Royal Canterlot voice." Luna said

"We You should probably not use it when addressing your subjects. Not only would you blow out their eardrums, but you could scare them, especially if they remember you as Nightmare Moon," Ash said.

"You meant our subjects and how does the Royal Canterlot voice play a part in their fear of us?" Luna questioned.

"Well, they'll think that you're angry with them." Ash said.

"Oh truly?" Luna questioned.

"Yeah so when addressing our subjects do so with a calming presence." Ash said.

"Where should we start?" Luna questioned.

As they walk Ash helps her get up to date with modern times.

Which is why they were in the palace's library.

They spent a few hours helping Luna get up to date with everything.

"Okay, I think it's time for a break." Ash said.

"Very well little brother." Luna said.

The two Alicorns head back to the dining hall.

"Hey Luna can I ask you something?" Ash questioned.

"Sure, it is?" Luna said.

"What was our dad like?" Ash questioned.

Luna softly smiled as she told her brother about their father as much she knows

Ash pays attention as Luna tells him about their father.

Once they reach the dining hall Luna finish.

"Wow, our dad sounds awesome." Ash said.

"Yes, he was and he would have been proud of you." Luna said.

Ash smiled.

They entered the dining room and kept walking.

"So little brother how is Ponyville?" Luna questioned.

"It's nearly like the town I grew up in." Ash said.

"What is this Pallet Town like?" Luna questioned.

Ash went on to explain what Pallet Town was like.

'This place sounds peaceful.' Luna thought.

They enter the kitchen.

"So is Mother living alone in Pallet town?" Luna questioned.

"She has Mimey." Ash answered.

"Who's Mimey?" Luna questioned.

Ash went on to explain Pokémon and who Mimey is.

'These Pokémon sound amazing.' Luna thought.

"And from your reaction, you and Wolf have one thing in common." Ash said as he opened the refrigerator.

"How's that?" Luna questioned.

"Your eyes light up when I was talking about dark types and Wolf not only loves them but these are his words "I will be the greatest dark type Gym Leader that anyone will see!"." Ash said.

"I see." Luna said.

"Yeah, he hates how Dark types have a bad reputation and have very few Pokémon Gyms." Ash said as he grabbed some bottles of apple juice.

"I see he's very passionate about it." Luna said.

"Yeah." Ash said as he handed one of the bottles to Luna.

'He definitely sounds interesting.' Luna thought.

"Speaking of Pokémon what kinds do you have?" She questioned.

Ash told Luna about his Pokémon.

'Such interesting creatures.' Luna thought.

The two then open our bottles.

---

With Celestia and Spike.

'This is so boring.' Spike thought.

The baby dragon was helping the sun Alicorn with some paperwork.

'How is she not bored of this.' Spike thought.

'Oh, look another request for a pizza oven from the Day Guards that's a change of pace.' Celestia thought.

Little did Spike know Princess Celestia was also bored.

Then she notices something about the Ponyville's Apples.

She reads the document.

"I KNEW IT!" Celestia shouted.

"Is there something wrong Princess Celestia?" Spike questioned.

The Princess shows the paper to the baby dragon.

"WHAT!?" Spike exclaimed.

"Someone had been lying about them for years!" Celestia said.

"That's just wrong!" Spike said.

"RAVEN!" Celestia called with her Royal Canterlot voice.

Raven runs into the room.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" She said.

"Bring me every record on the Apple family from Ponyville and I do mean every record!" Celestia ordered.

"At once Your Majesty." Raven said before leaving the room.

'And this is where Twilight's love of research came from.' Spike thought.

Raven came back with a bunch of books.

'Your honor here is the evidence to back up my claim.' the baby dragon thought

He and Celestia start sifting through the records.

Then Ash and Luna walk in.

"Hey Celestia, Spike." Ash said.

Ash notices the aura around his oldest sister.

"Uh, is everything okay?" He questioned.

Celestia looks to see who speaks and calms down.

"We recently learned something about the Apple family." She said.

"What is it?" Ash asks worrying about Applejack and her family.

Celestia explains.

'If Wolf were here he would most likely start sharpening an axe or making a special cannon for the banishment.' Ash thought

"So what are we going to do about this?" Ash questioned.

"Don't worry I'll fix it after all it did happen while I had rule alone." Celestia said with a soft smile but Ash still saw a hint of that aura.

'I can see that she inherited mom's scary aura.' Ash thought.

'What's with that aura it looks dark.' Ash thought.

'Wait the only time I saw this aura was when Luna was Nightmare Moon.' Ash realizes where he had seen that aura before.

Ash gives Celestia a worried stare.

"Huh? Ash, are you okay?" Celestia asks as the aura goes away.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Ash said.

"Are you sure?" Luna questioned.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Ash said.

'No, I have to tell them I don't want my sisters to repeat the mistakes of the past.' Ash thought.

"Actually there is something that's currently worrying me." Ash said.

"What is it?" his sisters questioned.

Ash explains.

Both older Alicorns look at him in shock.

"Whoa." Spike said.

Celestia would have stepped back if she could.

'A dark aura surrounded me that can't be good.' She thought.

'Was I close to a transformation like Luna's?' she thought.

She looks down in worry.

'If I was that close cause some pony lied about the Apples, then what will cause my transformation!?' she thought.

She then turns to Ash.

'And Ash was able to sense the transformation before it happened.' Celestia thought

She then has an idea.

"Let's go to the sculpture garden." Celestia said.

"Why?" Ash questioned.

"I want to see if your ability has limits." Celestia answered.

As they enter the garden Celestia leads them to one sculpture in particular.

Luna was shocked while Ash was confused.

"Sister, are you sure that we should be here?" Luna questioned.

"I am, and if something were to happen I can teleport to Ponyville to get Twilight, her friends, and the elements." Celestia answered.

"Hold on what's going on? and what's it got to do with this statue?" Ash questioned.

"Before we tell you about this status tell us can you see an aura coming off of it?" Celestia questioned.

Aah stares at the statue and to his surprise there was indeed an aura coming off of it.

"Yes, there's aura coming from this status." Ash answered.

Luna looks at Ash in surprise.

"Maybe your abilities are awakening slowly or you need a trigger for them?" Celestia said.

"Maybe but why does this statue have aura?" Ash questioned.

The two Alicorns explain who was the statue.

"So his name is Discord and he's a lord of chaos." Ash said.

"Yep" Luna said.

"And you had to turn him to stone to stop him." Ash said.

"With the aid of the Elements of Harmony." Celestia said.

"Right, and the only way he'd be free is through negativity." Ash said.

"He shouldn't but since you, Twilight, and your friends have bonded to the Elements the spell might have weakened." Luna said

"I see but speaking of the elements can I ask you something about them?" Ash questioned.

"What is?" Celestia asks

"Why did they turn into necklaces and crowns?" Ash questioned.

"We don't know they were just crystals when we had used them." Luna said

"I asked because I wondered if they could become weapons unique to the bearers of the elements." Ash said.

"As far we know the Elements aren't meant to be weapons if they were then Discord wouldn't just be stone." Celestia pointed out.

"Well they wouldn't be deadly weapons they could be defensive or healing items for example Twilight's could be a spellbook and Fluttershy's could be for healing." Ash said.

"We have let you and the others try to see if you seven can change the elements' forms." Luna said.

"Okay." Ash said.

"And please don't tell anyone about Discord." Celestia questioned.

"Not even Twilight or our friends?" Ash questioned.

"Yes, from what I heard about them Rainbow Dash would most likely fly here and try to break Discord only to end up possibly freeing him instead, and the reason I don't want to tell Twilight because of what happened to my last student." Celestia said.

"True on Rainbow and you had a student before Twilight?" Ash questioned.

Celestia told Ash and Luna about her former student.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that do you know where she might have gone?" Ash questioned.

"Sadly I don't I had to rise the sun which closed the portal." Celestia answered.

"I see." Ash said.

"Please don't bring her up around Twilight." Celestia questioned.

"I won't." Ash said.

"The three went back inside.

"So what did you and Luna do?" Celestia questioned.

"I help her catch up with the times." Ash answered.

"Ah well, that's good." Celestia said.

'And the staff would be happy about it.' Celestia thought.

"And did you talk about anything?" Celestia questioned.

"We talk about father." Luna answered.

"I see." Celestia said.

"As well as talking about mom and the world of Pokémon." Ash added.

"I see if you don't mind would you tell more about the world of Pokémon as well?" Celestia questioned.

"Yeah, I'd like to hear about it too." Spike said.

Ash explains about the world of Pokémon and Pokémon themselves while they work on the surprise AJ will get at the Grand Galloping Gala.

'These creatures known as Pokémon sound very impressive.' Celestia thought.

"Even in another world dragons are still all that." Spike said.

"Yeah, they're considered rare and powerful with them only being weak to other dragon types, ice types, or fairy types." Ash said.

"Okay, the other two I could understand but ice?" Spike said.

"Don't look at me it's just how it is." Ash said.

"What's next you going to tell us Dark type are weak against Bug type." Luna said with a light laugh.

Ash says nothing as his eyes dart back and forth nervously.

" Seriously!? That makes zero sense." Spike said

"Yeah, I don't know why that is either." Ash said.

"I take it Wolf isn't happy about it either?" Luna said.

"his exact words were "How can the coolest type in the world be weak to bugs what? was Arceus drunk?" Yeah, he was not happy." Ash said.

"It would make more sense if Fairy type were weak against Bug types." Celestia said.

"Trust me even Professor Oak is baffled by it." Ash said.

"So strange." Celestia said.

"Btw there's actually a couple of Pokémon who are esthetically perfect for you two." Ash said.

"Oh and what would they be?" Celestia questioned.

"The first two are from Eevee's Evolutionary tree, if you form a strong bond with an Eevee during the day it will evolve into an Espeon which is a Psychic type while if you do it at night you get an Umbreon a Dark type." Ash answered.

"Interesting." Celestia said.

"And the other two?" Luna questioned.

"They're Solrock and Lunatone." Ash said.

"What type are they?" Celestia questioned

"They're both rock and psychic types." Ash said.

"And from their names, both are in the shapes of the sun and moon?" Spike questioned

"Yep." Ash said.

The two sisters smile.

"Those definitely fit our motifs." Celestia said.

"It's a shame there aren't Pokémon here in our lands." Luna said.

"Who knows maybe one day there will be you never know how the universe works." Ash said.

"I hope it's soon, wait? If you're a league champion won't that mean you're the closest thing to a Professor?" Spike said.

"Eh, I wouldn't say that I know a little about Pokémon but not nearly at the same level as Professor Oak." Ash said.

"Don't worry Ash I have a few Ponies in mind to take on that role." Celestia said.

"Really?" Ash questioned.

"Yeah, Spike here's some bits go have fun." Celestia said as she placed a bag of bits in the baby dragon's hands.

"Are you sure?" Spike questioned.

"I'm sure." the white alicorn said.

Spike then walks away leaving the siblings alone.

"The real reason you wanted Spike away?" Luna questioned once she can see Spike is out of sight.

"Yeah, I'm curious about that myself." Ash said.

"Spike means well but what we're about to set in motion needs to stay a secret until the right moment at the Gala." Celestia said

"I see what's that?" Ash questioned.

"We're going to set things right!" Celestia said then the doors up.

The Stallion who opened the door has a white coat, his mane is moderate sapphire blue with moderate cerulean and dark phthalo blue streaks, he wears a purple armor that has a familiar purple six-pointed star on it his blue has a serious look to them as he brought another guard to the royal siblings in his blue magical field.

"You're majesties." The stallion said.

"Ah, Captain Sparkle you have good timing." Celestia said.

"Wait your last name is Sparkle?" Ash questioned.

"Yes, it is." The unicorn stallion answered while giving Ash a light glare.

"You wouldn't happen to be related to a Twilight Sparkle would you?" Ash questioned.

"I'm her older brother Shining Armor Sparkle." The now-identified Shining Armor answered.

"I see well it's nice to meet you." Ash said.

"Same." Shining Armor while not losing his glare.

Celestia knew this time the reason for somepony to glare at her brother was that he was living with Twilight in Ponyville who knows what they do behind doors when no one else isn't around.

"Um, did I do something wrong?" Ash questioned as he noticed the glare.

"That depends on what you and my sister have been up to when no one else is around!" Shining Armor answered.

"Captain! Is that who I think it is in your magic field?" Luna questioned as she points to the Earth pony stallion.

They turn to the stallion in the shield.

"He's the cousin of that mare." Shining Armor answered.

"What mare?" Ash questioned.

"One that had caused a problem before you came here." Celestia half lied.

"I see." Ash said.

"Put him in the dungeon we will deal with him later." Luna whispers to Shining Armor.

"Yes your Highness." Shining Armor said.

Shining turns around and leaves.

"That guy is intense." Ash said.

"All elder siblings are protective of their younger siblings." Celestia said.

"True." Ash said.

The three alicorns enter another room.

"So what is this thing you wanted to keep secret?" Ash questioned.

"We're going to find the family of ponies who have been masquerading as the Apples take all the things they had gained through their deceit and transfer them to the true Apples as to the reason why it needs to be a secret we don't know if they need to do this alone or if they had help making this public before the Gala will tip off their partners in crime." Celestia said.

"I see." Ash said.

Then Ash realizes that whoever these ponies are they have been spending bits that rightly belong to Applejack's family.

"They owe Applejack a lot of money." Ash said.

"And some businesses if those ponies own any." Celestia said.

"Right." Ash said.

The three went over every document about the "Apples".

"So, Ash how has Ponyville been treating you?" Celestia questioned.

Ash told her about his time in Ponyville.

'This Trixie mare needs to be more humble.' Celestia thought.

'Fluttershy handle that Dragon like a soldier of old.' Luna thought.

'Doing a entire harvest by herself Applejack certainly is a stubborn one.' Celestia thought.

'Fighting over a ticket what foolishness.' Luna thought.

"That's basically how things have been in Ponyville." Ash said.

'And even after all of that ponies either bow or call me your highness.' he thought.

"Sounds like you're having fun." Celestia said.

"Yeah." Ash said.

"BTW, what is going on in Ponyville right now?" Celestia questioned.

"The Pegasi is doing a storm to make up a mishap." Ash answered

"I see." Celestia said.

"So Spike and I got out of there in time." Ash added

"True." Luna said.

After an hour or two they found the ponies they had been looking for.

"Alright, now we know who to punish." Luna said.

"I can't wait to see the look on Applejack's face at the Gala." Ash said.

"Yes, I'm sure that it will be priceless." Celestia said.

"I guess the rest is up to you and Luna." Ash said

"Yes, it is." Luna said.

"Okay." Ash said

So what should we do now?" Ash questioned.

"Let's what the time is." Luna answered

"Right." Ash said.

The three look at the clock.

"It looks like it's late." Luna said.

"We need to set the sun and raise the moon." Celestia said.

"Okay." Ash said.

His sisters leave the room and Spike enters.

"Hey, so you guys got everything done?" Spike questioned.

"Yeah almost." Ash answered.

"Cool." Spike said.

"How was your shopping trip?" Ash questioned.

"Pretty good." Spike said.

"What did you buy?" Ash questioned.

Spike shows Ash what he bought.

It was mostly comic books.

"You really like comics huh?" Ash questioned.

"Yep, nearly as much as O&O." The baby dragon answered

"Well back in the world of Pokémon we do have some superheroes." Ash said.

"Really!? Like who?" Spike questioned.

"Well, there's Gligarman." Ash said.

Then he remembers what Cody and Gligarman's daughter.

"I remember Cody and Wolf playing hero as well." Ash said.

"WHAT! Tell me." Spike said

Ash explains.

Spike has stars in his eyes.

"So cool." Spike said.

"And a bit silly, if Wolf was joking he would have started the comic book series for Justice Bringer and Heckfire." Ash said laughing at the memory.

Spike joins in the laughter.

'Hmm, I'm sure they won't mind if I make their heroes into comics.' the baby dragon thought.

"We've had a lot of interesting adventures." Ash said.

"You should did." Spike said as Celestia and Luna came back into the room

"We're back." Celestia said.

"Welcome back." Ash said.

"So what did you two talk about?" Celestia questioned.

"Superheroes." Spike answered.

"I see." Celestia said.

"Superheroes?" Luna asked as she never heard of that term before.

Ash explains.

Luna didn't say anything.

"You okay Luna?" Ash questioned.

"They are like our old teacher and the pillars." Luna said.

"I see. " Ash said.

Then another white-coated stallion but he has a blonde mane and tail came into the room.

'Who's this guy?' Ash thought.

"Aunt Celestia, who is this faker!?" the stallion asks while pointing his hoof at Ash.

'ugh, this guy.' Spike thought.

"Blue Blood this is your uncle and more worthy of the title of prince than you and my and Celestia's brother, bearer of the Element of Hope Prince Ashton Ketchum!" Luna answered for her sister whose right eye started to twitch and said the worthy part under her breath.

"He's my Uncle!?" Blueblood shouted.

"More like your great times the right amount cousin, but if you want to call me uncle go ahead." Ash said.

Blueblood scoffs.

'Some of these ponies should be happy mom isn't here.' Ash thought as he could see her acting like the red queen from Alice in Wonderland.

"Anyway, why are you here Blueblood?" Celestia questioned.

"I had heard from a lowly guard pony that you have a couple of noble mares locked up in the dungeon for no apparent reason!" Blueblood said.

"Oh trust me Blueblood we had a very good reason." Celestia said.

"Which is?" He questioned.

"Ash why don't you and Spike go get a snack." Luna said.

"Don't you mean to see what the chef has on the menus?" Ash said.

"Yes." Luna said.

The two leave.

"As for your question Blueblood it's because of what they had planned to do with our little brother." Luna said.

"So they were going to ask him out I don't see when they need to be put in the dungeon." BlueBlood said.

Celestia explains.

"Oh, my bad I didn't know wait! Why did they go after him and not me!" Blueblood asks

Luna and Celestia give him unamused stares.

"You don't have the best reputation when it comes to mares or any female." Celestia said

"Ouch." Blueblood said.

"You have no one but yourself to blame." Luna said.

"Also are you seriously Saying that you want them to get you drunk so they can take advantage of you?" Celestia questioned.

"What! No, but I have more say than him." Blueblood said

"No, you do not." Luna said.

"Maybe not in running our kingdom but I have a voice with the nobility, while he is living with Aunt Celestia's student in some backwater town." Blueblood said

Celestia frowns.

'I should have enrolled him in the Royal Guard Academy when he was a colt.' She thought.

'he was a colt.' She thought.

"Blueblood is this all you wanted to talk to us about?" Celestia questioned.

"And to see if my "uncle" brought the dragon's loot with him." Blueblood said.

"Dragon's Loot?" Luna questioned.

"There was a dragon who was going to nap near Ponyville and his snoring is what's causing all this smoke which would have spread over all of Equestria, I had Ash and his friends to have the dragon and his horde moved not slayed." Celestia answered while aiming the last part at Blueblood.

"Wait they moved the Dragon how?" Blueblood questioned.

Celestia retold how Fluttershy was the one who got the dragon to move.

"A mare like that managed to pacify a dragon that size?" Blueblood questioned.

"Yes." Celestia answered in a flat tone of voice.

"But that is crazy." Blueblood said.

"And they didn't get a single piece of its horde!" Blueblood said.

"That was not what they were there for." Luna said.

"They should have made that dragon pay." Blueblood said.

"That would have not been a good idea." Celestia said.

"Then I'm happy we're using dragon's eggs for the exam if they don't care for the lives of our young and not offer to pay for the trouble they cause then I don't see why we should care either." Blueblood said.

Both Luna and Celestia frown at him.

"You can leave now." the sun sister said.

Blueblood scoffs before leaving.

"He is by far one of the possible black sheep of our family." Luna said.

"Agreed. " Celestia said.

"Mother would be ashamed of him." Luna said.

"Definitely." Celestia said.

"Father as well." Luna said.

"Yep." Celestia said.

Then Ash and Spike walk back into the room.

"I see that Blueblood is gone." Spike said.

"What did he come for anyways?" Ash questioned

"Nothing important." Celestia said.

"We should tell Rarity how Blueblood is before he does something to hunt her." Ash said.

"Right." Spike said.

"So, what is on the menu?" Celestia questioned.

Ash tells them what's on the menu.

"Then we should head to the dining hall." Luna said.

"Right." Ash said.

The four leave the room.

"I wonder how Twilight is doing?" Spike questioned.

"Reading most likely." Ash said.

"Possibly." Spike said.

"Or working on a spell." Ash said.

"Definitely." Spike said.

"Twilight does love to either read books or work on magic than some things." Celestia said with a light laugh.

"Yeah." Ash said.

The four reach the dining hall.

As they sit down the waiter approaches.

"What would you all like to drink?" he questioned.

They tell him what they want to drink.

"Be right back." The waiter said

"So Ash how about you tell your sisters about your abilities?" Spike questioned.

"Well Spike thanks to them had learn more about my abilities." Ash said.

"Really?" Spike questioned.

Without going into details about it Ash explains.

"Wow." Spike said.

"Yeah, it could be useful later down the road." Ash said.

"That's right." Spike said.

'And it's one less nightmare for Twilight.' Celestia thought.

"So Ash what else happened in Ponyville?" Luna questioned.

"Not that many more events wis." The sole Alicorn Stallion said.

"Well, how about you tell us about some more Pokémon?" Celestia questioned.

Ash did so.

He first talks about his Butterfree.

His sisters give him a sad look, and then a red and gold bird lands next to him and nuzzles him.

"Whoa hello there." Ash said.

"Philomena! I have been wondering where were you at." Celestia said.

"So I take it this little lady is yours?" Ash questioned.

"Yes, this is Philomena my pet phoenix." Celestia answered.

"It's nice to meet you Philomena." Ash said as he pet her head.

"It's getting close to that time." Celestia said.

"Right sister." Luna said.

"Huh?" Ash and Spike said confused.

Celestia turns to them.

The Solar Alicorn went into detail about the life cycle of a phoenix.

"Wow, so a phoenix is reborn from its own ashes?" Ash questioned.

"Yep but before that she will get sick and put out all of her feathers." Celestia answered.

"I see." Ash said.

"Boy, Fluttershy would love to learn this." Spike said.

"Yeah." Ash said.

The waiter then came back.

"Here are your drinks." He said.

"Thank you." the four said together.

"So, have you decided what to order?" The waiter questioned.

"Yes, we have." Luna answered

They tell him their orders.

"I take these to the chef myself." The waiter said.

"Thank you." Celestia said.

The four went on talking about different things.

"So Spike, I've been wanting to ask you this, but what are Twilight's parents like?" Ash questioned.

Spike thought about his adopted parents.

"They're amazing." Spike said.

"That's nice to hear but I still wonder why Shinning Armor is upset with me living with Twilight?" Ash said.

Celestia and Luna chuckle.

"He's being a protective big brother." Celestia said.

Ash thought about it for a minute and he could now see how that would look like he and Twilight might get into some funny business when Spike and their friends aren't around.

"And you two would be the same if you had come with me and Mom to the Pokémon world." he said with a light chuckle.

"True." Celestia said.

"Erika and her pack of b-witches would have known of our fury." Luna said watching herself since Spike is in the room.

'She almost said the B word.' Ash thought.

"Indeed as well others." Celestia said as she and Luna started to chuckle which slowly turned into sinister laughing.

'Scary.' Spike thought.

'That's seals it they do take more from mom.' Ash thought as Delia nearly went on a rampage hearing about Erika and others who didn't treat him well.

"Anyway Ash what was your best Gym Battle?" Luna questioned.

Ash went into deep thought.

"I'd say my gym battle against Clair in the Johto region." Ash said.

"Nice." Spike said with a bit of pride.

"Her dragon types were amazing, especially her Dragonair." Ash said.

Then Ash gets a thought.

"Off your head Celestia who do you think would be the ideal Gym leaders for Equestria if it has Pokémon?" Ash questioned.

"I believe Captain Spitfire of the Wonderbolts, Captain Shining Armor, Luna, and I guess I can include myself." Celestia said.

"I could understand Shining Armor but why you and Luna?" Ash questioned.

"It sounds fun." Celestia said.

"You don't get that much free time to yourself?" Ash said.

"I know, but it'd be interesting." Celestia said.

Then their meal arrived.

"Thank you for the meal." They all said.

They eat in.

"This food is good." Ash said.

"So far we can only get meals for a dragon here." Spike said.

"I'm glad it's to your satisfaction." The waiter said.

"It is thanks." Ash said.

"Splendid if you need anything don't hesitate to ask." The waiter said.

"We will." Luna said.

As the waiter leaves.

"Hmm." Celestia said as she was enjoying her meal.

"Hey, Celestia what did you end up doing with the stone that brought me to Equestria?" Ash questioned.

"I had put it with the Elements of Harmony in Canterlot Tower." Celestia answered.

"I see at least no one can get it." Ash said.

"No one but us." Luna pointed out.

"That's right." Celestia said.

"Why do you ask Ash?" Luna questioned.

"Cause I've been thinking of one day bringing Mom here someday." Ash said.

"While that would be wonderful to have mom here for a while." Celestia started

'And if I play my cards right retake the throne.' she thought.

"I'm sad to say that might not happen since my and Luna's old teacher Star Swirl the Bearded had disappeared our area of dimensional portal magic hadn't gone past the theory part." Celestia finish.

"I see." Ash said.

"Who is he you both and Twilight talk about him a lot but I still lost on who he is." Ash said.

Celestia explains who Star Swirl the Bearded is.

"Oh, he's like Mellon but with a bad hand I mean horn writing." sole male alicorn said.

Both Alicorn sisters chuckle.

"Yes, so that's why we can't travel between our world and the Pokémon world at the moment." Luna said.

"That's a shame." Ash said.

"Indeed if Star Swirl had studied the stone we would have checked the Pokémon world and you can guess the rest." Celestia said.

"Right." Ash said.

The sisters look at the clock.

"It's getting late." Celestia said.

"Indeed, I need to get ready for my duties." Luna said.

"I never asked but what exactly are your duties?" Ash questioned.

"Besides from rising and settling the moon, I help our subjects with their dreams, also I'm still catching up with things so I can't help with Celestia with the other royal duties." Luna answered.

"I see." Ash said.

"What do you mean by helping with their dreams?" Ash questioned.

Luna explains.

"Hmm, how often do you walk into a private dream?" Ash asks worried that one day his sister would walk into one of his dirty dreams.

"Not often." Luna said.

"That's good." Ash said while having mix feelings about it.

"I often don't venture near those types of dreams for privacy's sake." Luna said.

"Understandable." Ash, Celestia, and Spike said.

"Though I can tell you a dream that Celestia has often." Luna said.

"Luna don't you dare!" Celestia said with a red glow on her face.

"The dream consists of nothing but cakes." Luna said.

"LULU!" Celestia shouted.

"And her swimming in said cakes." Luna said.

"Okay, stop please." Ash asks as he nearly turns green.

"It's honestly funny." Luna said.

"And gross, who wants to eat cake that had to be near somepony dirty parts." Spike said.

"Oh, she didn't eat the ones that she swam in she would then go to a grand feast filled with every cake ever made." Luna said.

"That's enough Lulu." Celestia said.

"There's also Some dreams that our Guards have that are pretty funny." Luna said.

"Like how you kept wetting the bed until you were ten." Celestia said.

"Says the one who's not only afraid of chickens but has a horrible sense of direction." Luna said.

"Wait! Princess Celestia is afraid of chickens?" Spike questioned, while the horrible sense of direction wasn't that big of a deal.

'I better not tell Celestia about Torchic and its evolution line.' Ash thought.

"Yes it's honestly a lame fear I mean it's like if someone was afraid of Squirrels." Luna said.

"Or someone being afraid of green jelly." Ash said.

---

Meanwhile in the total Drama universe.

A Canadian girl sneezed at her job in a shoe store.

---

Back in Equestria.

"Those accursed fowl no matter the time or location they always find me and never leave me alone." Celestia said.

'Wow.' Ash thought.

The former Pokémon trainer now imagines the Hoenn fire starter and its evolution line finding a human version of Celestia no matter what she's at.

'That'd be funny.' He thought.

Then he thought about how often Brock would try to hit Celestia and Luna, Ash did a Bullet Punch without thinking and hitting something.

"What did I just hit?" Ash said.

"I have no idea and what move did you just use?" Spike said.

"Bullet Punch." Ash said.

---

In the sky above the castle a black pony like creature felt its muzzle sure that part of it was broken.

'That's hurt.' The creature thought as it was too painful to open its mouth.

---

Back in the dining room.

"Is it a fairy-type move?" Spike questioned, worried that if he gets hit with it, the move might kill him.

"No, it's a steel-type move." Ash said.

"Oh, cool." Spike said hoping that whatever was at the end of the attack still leave or they would have to find a dead body.

"Hey Ash what Pokémon did you start with?" Spike questioned.

"Pikachu is my starter." Ash answered.

"Really I thought you had to choose between Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander." Spike said.

"I had slept in and they were chosen by the others." Ash said.

"I see." Spike said.

"Anything else?" Ash questioned

"Why don't you tell Spike about the legendary Pokémon you encountered." Luna suggested.

"Okay." Ash said.

Ash then talks about all of the legendary Pokémon he met.

"Woe." The baby dragon said.

"Yeah, now you see why they're considered deities in the Pokémon world." Ash said.

"No kidding I don't think your sisters would be a match for any of them." Spike said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ash questioned.

"Don't get me wrong but besides Princess Luna, Princess Celestia for a long time and while I'm they could take on some of the legendary Pokémon but those could be called a force of nature is a whole other story, I meant could you see them being able to take on Articuno who could freeze part of an ocean as well an island?" Spike said.

"True." Ash said.

'I can't deny that.' Both sisters thought.

"BTW, Ash, what other jobs involve Pokémon?" Spike questioned.

Ash then started to list every job he remembered that involved Pokémon.

"Wow." Spike said.

"Yeah, some caught me off guard too." Ash said.

"I can tell." Spike said.

"Why do you ask?" Ash questioned.

"I was wondering what Twilight and the others would do if they were in the Pokémon world." Spike said.

"The only who's job would be different would be Rainbow's unlike Ponies, humans can't control the weather or fly on their own she would be either a pilot for a shipping company or an airline if not a Flying type Gym Leader." Ash said.

"Right." Spike said.

"Anything else?" Ash questioned.

"Why don't you tell him about this prophecy you were a part of." Luna said.

"Prophecy?" Spike questioned.

Ash tells him about the Prophecy where he was supposed to save the world.

"But you had saved it more than once." Celestia said.

"Yep." Ash said.

"That's why you didn't show any fear toward me." Luna said.

"Yeah." Ash said.

"Mother much had been very upset with you." Celestia said.

"Actually she wasn't." Ash said.

Both of his sisters give him a look.

"Though the first time I saved the world, she was upset." Ash said.

"Figures." Celestia said.

"As well the second time." Ash said.

"Makes sense." Luna said.

"Yeah, it wasn't until the sixth that she stopped being upset about the whole thing." Ash said.

"I see." Luna said.

The three siblings laughed at that.

"Still quite the adventures." Ash said.

"Yes, it was, Raven!" Celestia called.

The mare in question walks into the dining room.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Raven said.

"Please lead Ash to the room we have ready for him." Celestia said.

"At once, follow me, Prince Ash." Raven said.

"What about Spike?" Ash questioned.

"He has his and Twilight's old house." Celestia said.

"Ah, the tower." Spike said.

"you miss the tower?" Celestia questioned.

"Yeah, don't get me wrong Golden Oaks is a great place but the tower was my first home." the baby dragon answered.

"Makes sense." Celestia said.

"Of course, Twilight's parents' place is great but you know." Spike said.

"Right." Celestia said.

"Well then see you three in the morning." Ash said.

"Good night little brother." Luna said.

"Goodnight Celestia, Luna, and Spike." Ash said as he left with Raven.

After he left the three sat in silence.

"If I knew Twilight she would most likely want my help to see if any of the books were hurt by the storm." Spike said.

"That does sound like Twilight." Celestia said.

"Well, goodnight." Spike said as he headed to the door.

"Good night Spike." Celestia said.

The two princesses saw the young drake leave.

"Ash certainly has had some interesting adventures." Luna said.

"Indeed." Celestia said while she was looking at the sealing.

"Of course that includes his friends Cody and Wolf." Luna said.

Not hearing a reply Luna looked at her sister.

"Sister?" Luna questioned.

"I think an outside player was here." Celestia said.

This shocks Luna.

"Do you think they were spying on us?" She questioned.

"Most likely but that leaves the question of what were they after? And who are they spying for?" Celestia answered.

"Those are good questions." Luna said.

---

In an unknown location, the pony-like creatures fly with their bug-like wings they go from a forest to a landscape it appears the forest slowly turns into a desert a dark fortress the only thing there.

Soon enough, they land in front of what looks like a throne.

"Report!" a voice from the throne ordered.

The figure on the throne sees that the spy's jaw is broken.

The spy uses their magic to write on the floor.

The figure on the throne reads what they wrote.

"WHAT!? THE PRINCE COULD SENSE YOU! AND ATTACK YOU!" the figure on the throne shouted.

The spy nods.

They write more.

"But you think he did it more out of reflex than he sensed you?" the figure read.

The spy nods.

"Then it's back to the first plan, anything else I should be aware of?" the figure questioned.

The spy writes some more.

"Hmm, I have to be more careful than ever before, go see a heal about your jaw!" The figure said

The spy bows before leaving.

Who are these figures? and what are they planning? Tune in next time to find out.
