After some time Spike and Comet finally reached Golden Oak Library. It was an enormous hollowed out tree, with its natural tree holes repurposed as windows and doors.

"Good thing Thunderlane kept his promise." Said Comet as he noticed his belongings laying next to the entrance doors.

"Man, I am hungry. I could really go for a slice of perhaps an apple pie." Spike said trying to mess with his brother.

"After we're done with research on Nightmare Moon we can even go for a hayburger with fries. Hmm? What do you say?"

"I'm down for that." Said Spike.

Comet found the keys and opened the red door.

"I'm glad we understand each-"

"Surprise!"

The whole building shook from the roar. After initial shock Comet could make out a room full of different ponies. Some of them more familiar than others.

"Hey there!"

The unicorn turned his head to see a familiar earth pony with curly mane.

"It is me again Cheese Sandwich. I promised and I delivered. This will be the best party you ever-"

"How did you get in?" Comet asked both angrily and genuinely curious. "I just picked up the keys from the mayor. Did you break in with a lock pick or something.

"Pfft! Hahaha!" Stallion laughed heartily. "You're a natural! Lock pick, haha… I just know a few ponies who know ponies. You catch my drift?" He put his arm around a Comet like an old friend.

Scowl didn't leave the unicorn's face. "So you just have contacts with local key makers?" He asked, while removing Cheese's arm.

"Eeeeh.. yeah pretty much." Admitted the stallion. "But it doesn't sound nearly as fun."

"I think we might have a different definition of fun."

Cheese sandwich however wasn't the only pony he recognised. There was Braeburn with his cousin as well as Soarin and thunderlane. The latter conversing with some cyan, rainbow - maned mare. The former watched them from afar with a straight face but Comet could have sworn there was some kind of emotion brewing under it.

The gray stallion finally noticed the unicorn and waved to him.

"Comet, over here!"

The protege trotted towards the pegasus, wanting to change the current company.

"Have fun with your friend!" Cheese shouted as he walked away.

"What's up with that guy?" Comet asked Thunderlane.

"That's Cheese Sandwich, he is the new part planner in town. Probably wanted to start his debut here with somepony important. Perhaps a certain student of Her Highness,who was rumored to have appeared in the city."

Thunderlane waved his hoof. "But enough about him. There's somepony I want to introduce you to."

"I'm content to mingle with anypony but him.

The cyan mare from earlier approached again.

"Comet this is my former subordinate Rainbow Dash. Dash this is Comet Tail, Celestia's personal protege."

The mare whistled. "Well, what is big shot such as yourself doing in middle of nowhere like Ponyville."

Comet chuckled. "I wouldn't call this place a middle of nowhere but to answer your question I was sent here to supervise the preparations."

"Are they up to Canterlot standards?"

"more or less."

The mare seemed vaguely familiar but Comet couldn't quite put his hoof on it. That hair…

"Everything okay with Fluttershy? Haven't seen her in a while." Asked Thunderlane.

"She couldn't make it because she is still working with her birds but other than that it's fine. You know how she is."

That was when it finally hit him.

"You're a wonderbolt?!"

She smiled mischievously.

"Took you long enough."

"I'm not really a pegasus so you've got to cut me some slack there."

"I'll consider doing that in the future." Rainbow Dash said teasingly.

"Who's that?" Spike suddenly asked. Comet looked toward the direction his brother pointed. His attention was focused on white unicorn mare with indigo mane. He had to admit that the mare was easily one of the most attractive he's ever seen.

"That's Rarity." Replied Thunderlane. "Our local seamstress and fashion designer. I would say the level of her craft does not differ from that of the Canterlot tailors."

"She's gorgeous." The young reptile said, absolutely enamored.

Thunderlane laughed amused. "Why don't you go and tell her that?"

"You think?" There was pliable doubt in the dragon's voice.

"From all the years that I've known her I can tell you she's one of the nicest ponies I've met." Added the dark stallion.

Spike took a deep breath.

"Wish me luck."

With that he walked towards the mare, trying to make himself look as laid-back as possible.

"Isn't she a little too old for him?" Asked Comet.

"Let him have it." Said Rainbow Dash. "haven't you had a crush on somepony older than you?"

He thought for a moment.

"I had."

"Do you want to elaborate further?" Rainbow-maned mare asked with a smirk.

The unicorn sighed. "Why, our highness herself, of course."

The two other ponies looked at him weirdly.

"That's … interesting, couldn't say I had a crush on Ms. Figgy as a colt though." Said the pegasus stallion.

Rainbow winced slightly at the thought.

"Well, how old was she when you started school?" Asked Comet.

"56." Replied Thunderlane.

"Celestia was probably even older than that and yet she remains one of the most beautiful mares out there… and wise on top of that."

Rainbow face turned to that of amusement. "Was it just a childhood crush? Or is there still something?"

Unicorn laughed. "Nah, I've grown past that. Now she's more of a second mother to me."

He glanced at where his little brother went. The young drake was trying his harder to flex the nonexistent muscles, which made the mare giggle. Comet subconsciously smiled at the sight.

The protege spent the remaining part time talking, mostly with Thunderlane. During these talks he learned that Cheese Sandwich is just passing through Ponyville. The usual party planning is left to the mare known as Pinkie Pie, who is rumored to be even more unorthodox in her behavior.

After it was all done Comet and Spike joined other ponies at the town hall to see the Princess and report to her that the assignment was completed. Something that even he himself didn't expect.

The crowd started getting bigger and bigger over time. At a certain point there was almost no room to spare. Yellow pegasus mare was practicing with a flock of different birds. Comet learned from Tunderlane that she was Rainbow's childhood friend, Fluttershy.

Mayor mare herself entered the spotlight

"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!"

All of the ponies except Comet started cheering. He had a gut feeling that something was wrong. Mayor continued.

"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria…"

Fluttershy said something to the birds. After hearing the command they started humming a tune.

"Princess Celestia!"

The curtains fell down to show… nothing. Rarity, the pony closest to where Princess would be, exclaimed surprised.

Princess was nowhere to be seen. If Comet had to list the most important traits of Celestia, punctuality would be at the top. Nervous chatter arose.

"Maybe she forgot to take something?" Spike suggested, sounding unsure of his own words.

"Unlikely." Replied the unicorn.

"Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!" Mayor mare said, trying to soothe the crowd.

"She's gone!" Rarity said in a concerned voice.

A purple starry blue mist started appearing on the balcony. After a few moments it formed into a tall, black alicorn, cladded in blue armor. Her tale and mane remained wispy and fog-like. Moon in it's halfway point adorns her flank.

"Nightmare Moon." Comet whispered.

"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces." Said the alicorn. Her voice filled the whole room, despite being rather calm.

"What did you do to Princess Celestia?!" Asked a voice that Comet recognized as Soarin. The stallion would throw himself at the mare if it wasn't for Thundelane catching his tail with teeth.

"Easy there, buster." He mumbled with difficulty as his subordinate wasn't the weakest of ponies.

Alicorn laughed.

"Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am? "

"Ooh, ooh! I know!" That was the voice of Cheese Sandwich. "Hokey Smokes!"

"No!" The other voice sounded, this one clearly female, but Comet didn't know to whom it belonged "It's Queen Meanie!"

"Pfft! Of course not." That was Cheese again. "That's Black Snooty-"

"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?" Alicorn interrupted him.

"Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"

"I did." It was Comet's time to speak up. "You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!"

All the ponies either gasped or started talking amongst each other.

Alicorn smirked. "Well, well, well. Somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here."

"You're here to.. to.." Comet started having difficulties due to how scared he was.

Nightmare Moon chuckled. " Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" She said, her ominous cackle filling the air.

I'm so sorry for not writting anything under the last author's not, I'm still trying to figure out that site.

Hello! I planed this story to be a rewrite of the whole series but with mane six as background stallions. Can't say it's fully my idea. I was inspired by the idea provided by SPB in their's "My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic: Stallion Edition." I haven't read it but liked the concept itself. Now I won't probably read it in a long time because I don't want it to influence my work. I want this to be my own thing.

you can read it here if you want though s/12727546/1/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-Stallion-Edition

Apart from the rewrites I will try to create original episodes, maybe even whole storylines. If you have any ideas, don't be shy to write to me about them in private messages. I can't promise I'll use all of them, however if I do I'll credit you.

And lastly don't be afraid to point out any grammatical mistakes. I'm from Central Europe and english is not my first language.

Have a nice day.
