//------------------------------// // 1. From Canterlot To Ponyville // Story: Day of Meetings, Night of Hate, and Adventures // by Krz //------------------------------// Once Upon a Time.... In The Magical Land of Equestria, there were two sisters who ruled together, and were bringing peace and harmony for all the land. To do this, younger one was using her power to raise the sun at dawn, the older one brought out the moon to start majestic and romantic night. But over the time Older sister became sad and angry, as everypony was playing at day, and were hiding in their homes at night. This was going on until one day, that this sadness and anger overtook her , and turned into wicked mare of hate Bleeding Heart, then she decided to destroy her sister and become sole ruler of the Kingdom. To stop her evil sister she decided to use Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of elements she defeated Bleeding Heart, and banished her to the moon, and after that the land was ruled only by one in peace and harmony... "Hmm" Thinking Unicorn get up from her blanket, and took out another book from her saddlebags and read " Legend of Bleeding Heart" she then heard a shout out of nowhere as she was looking around "TIA" shouted unkown voice, "huh " unicorn was still looking around, and then pegasus fell from sky on her "CELESTIA !" said pegasus. Celestia, personal Student of Princess Twilight lying on her back was now looking at dark blue coated pegasus who was her only friend "Luna" small smile formed on her lips "What are you doing ? why are you disturbing me ?" Luna was beaming with smile from ear to ear "my catering contract is over so i decided to visit you" "Oh, can you get of me ? i was reading something important Lulu" it was then, when smile from dark blue pegasus faded "Oh come on stop reading so much Tia, you need to get out from Castle more often" unicorn closed her eyes, and said "and...and go to those liars from the city who talk behind my back" she started shaking a little "how can you be with them ?" "Tia...i know its hard to you " "Hard ...they lie, they deceive...they say im useless, but when im with them they say im their friend, they say that im important!" "I know that they fake, but if not with them...come with me, will you be okay walking alongside me ?" "Lulu" Frowning Celestia looked behind her, to take a look on the book that was laying on blanket, page that was open was saying about Bleeding Heart, she then turned to Luna "Luna can you go ahead to castle ? I will join you when i finish reading this" Dark Blue Pegasus looked at her friend with concern , but then nodded and started trotting toward castle, then heard Tia as she was saying with fear in her voice "THIS IS !....Oh no!" "Celestia" worry in pegasus voice " What is it" ? White unicorn was still looking at the book, and said "B-Bleeding Heart is returning !" dark blue eyes of pegasi has narrowed "What ? who ?" "I must inform Princess" "You're scaring me, what's going on" "Didn't you heard me" the eyes of unicorn showed determination and seriousness of situation "Calm down, and tell me, what you have read from that book" It's says that tomorrow is 1000 year since Alicorn of Hate Bleeding Heart was banished to the moon, and that in the 1000 anniversary of her imprisonment, she will return to bring hate pain and destruction, and that's why i must inform princess" then studious unicorn took out of her bags a paper, and quill and started writing to her mentor. "You reading too much " Pegasus sighed " I'm going to castle" then smiled "it would be nice if we could spend more time together" Celestia took her eyes from paper looked into her friend eyes noticing in them concern "Don't worry as soon as Princess read this, i will go with you " "Promise ?" "Promise, in fact you can wait it's just short massage " Studious Unicorn eyes returned to piece of paper which she was holding with her magic. and resumed her writing and then used her magic to send off her letter, after that said"Let's go" "Um Tia...are you sure Princess will believe you ?" "Why Shouldn't she believe me ? I'm her student" "I Know but...." Pegasus words were cut off, as out of nowhere letter appeared in front of them "See" Tia smiled, lifted the letter, and started reading My Faithfull Student Celestia, i'm happy of our time together as friends, and as teacher and student, know that i'm proud of how your studies go, but in my opinion you read too much of those books that lie in the old Canterlot Archives, Therefore im sending you to Ponyville to check on preparations for Hearts and Hooves Day special event that is taking place early evening when the sun and moon will be together in the sky, as many lovers across Equestria say their sacramental yes, or simply enjoy their love life in homes, also when you there you should make some friends....Say hi for me to Luna There was a silence after Celestia finished reading the letter, confused at what she read a few moments ago her mouth started moving, but there was no sound, then she decied to look at her only friend who apparently was smiling "You going to Ponyville and going to make friends !" "What ?" then ticket for train appeared the same way as letter "Oo, she got you a ticket...wait where are you going, the Canterlot station is that way" "Princess ...she...she doesn't understand i..." her words were stopped, as Luna put a hoof into her mouth "Mmfmfmf !" "It says here, that your train leave in next 20 minutes" Pegasus hugged her friend "Im going to miss you" ''Uff" Tia was struggling against titanic grip of her friend as she tried to desperately breath some air into her lungs, and after awhile she was free, but was dragged to Train Station "Wait , i must , Luna ...." _________________________________________________ Celestia was now sitting on a train, that was going in the direction of Ponyville, and was talking to herself "How can she send me to that town, she doesn't understand, Bleeding Heart is dangerous, and why Hearts and Hooves day "her face now hidden in hooves " Uh there is Summer Sun Celebration you could send me to, or how this celebration with longest night was called....AGHH" she was now starting to speak very loudly "If the Princess do nothing, Bleeding Heart will bring eternal darkness, she will bring chaos, pain, and ahh "she again held her head in hooves, and noticed that ponies were looking at her as if she was some looney crazy mare, it caused her a little blush of emberassment on her face "Even Luna without hestitation send me to train...what are they thinking ? she started babbling aloud again, this time slightly faster "IfshereturnsandPrincessdon'treactintimewewillbedoomeditwillbeoverforEquestria'gasp'...No for whole world" She started heavily breathing, and next to her was conductor, who was looking at her with concern "Miss" "Huh ?" "Is everything alright ?...i think you scaring passangers" "Oh" Celestia started looking around, and saw eyes of the ponies that were looking at her, and some of them showed annoyance "Oh sorry ehehe" Conductor smiled, and was going away from her Celestia sank in her seat quietly, but decided to ask "Um, how long until Ponyville ?'' "We're almost there Miss" "Oh great...uhh" She was worried, and to make it worse her stomach started to hurt, was it from something she eat ? or maybe it was stress, well yeah it was probably the stress, becuase you know the Monster from the Moon is about to escape, and her Princess instead to simply take action to stop the upcoming danger, she just told her to make more friends instead "She doesn't believe in me...no pony believe" Celestia took her first step from the train , immediately started to look around, she saw a lot of unknown faces in this quieter and smaller than Canterlot little town. She looked at the second letter she got in train from Princess , and it was written that she is supposed to stay at library. Unicorn was now walking on town streets, looking around to find her first thing on the list, which was Ponyville Town Hall. It was then when she fell, but by not herself , she was tackled from the sky "Tia !" "Luna ? " "Tia" "LunaWAIT!"Unicorn pushed her friend from her body with magic "What...what are you doing here ?" "I came to help" Pegasus smiled, and started giggling "Why ?" "Becuase, Tia is grumpy loner, and mfff"Her words were cut off by magic, as Celestia was now annoyed by words...well she is loner, but she isn't certainly grumpy, she just doesn't understand why her teacher send her to this town, wait maybe she was sent here, cause Canterlot was supposed to be the place of battle between her mentor, and Bleeding Heart , and Princess secured her safety by sending her here "It's possible"Unicorn said narrowing her eyes "What is ?" "Eh...nothing" "Can you put me down" "Of course"....They were looking at each other in silence Luna was still smiling ,flapping her wings as if she wanted to tackle her again, then Tia turned as started walking "Wait , i'm coming with you...were to first" "Ponyville Town Hall to see the Mayor " They entered, and stopped inside empty town hall well almost empty, as there was one pony standing , looking around sparkling hall "Excuse me" They both said it, and Luna started giggling , Earth Pony mare turned around , her coat was Pale, light grayish amber and honest blue eyes , on her flank was Tan scroll tied with blue ribbon cutie mark which probably meant that she is mayor Tia wanted to say something, but no words were coming from her mouth ,Luna rolled her eyes and asked "Miss Mayor ?" "Ah yes...I am Mayor Ivory Scrolls" then Tia started talking" I am Celestia, and this is my friend Luna, we're both from Canterlot to oversee the preparation for Hearts and Hooves Day special event, is this where this occasion takes place" "Oh Princess sent you , 'cough' Yes as you see the place is sparkling clean, and soon decoration for lovers will be put in here , you probably were going to ask about them , please let me led the way" Celestia was silent and Luna saluted her with smile "We thank you Miss Mayor" "Ohoho your very nice pony , you can call me Ivory Scrolls...or just Ivory, let's go the boutique" Three of them entered the boutique, it's walls were decorated in Love Theme wallpaper, and on the floor were scattered rose petals , then they heard someone struggling behind courtains stage "Excuse me" the three of them said it in unison, Celestia little annoyed now ,Ivory was smiling and Luna started giggling again "Eep" soft sound came from behind, as curtains fell on the floor, exposing Earth Mare with Light amberish gray coat and Feathered Hat as cutie mark, her mane and tail were two-tone blue of pale , light grayish cyan and light opalish cyan entagled in ribbons of different colors struggling to get free Mayor was first to react "Oh my, Coco are you alright ? , where is Rarity ?" "She kinda...went out, and i was continuing without her ...i wanted to finish before she returns, and when i was almost done....this happened" Coco cheeks began blush Celestia lighten up her horn, and ribbons started to detaching from the body of Earth Mare , it took maybe a minute, and Coco was free and safely on her hooves "Thank you" Coco started looking everywhere except the eyes of three ponies who stood before her " I need to clean up" "WE CAN HELP" Luna shouted, blushed closed her mouth with her own hooves, and then said again "We can help" Celestia looked at her with narrowed eyes "But...but we need" "Oh i help you too" Ivory said "Ok i help too" Tia shrug her arms and smiled 10 minutes later everything was on its former place, ribbons on windows, love themed wallpapers and, rose petals on the floor. "Is this how town hall will look "Unicorn asked looking at Coco, and then the Mayor Coco said"Yes it will be beautiful to see ponies together" , then looked at the floor, she was sad about something , Luna came closer to Coco and put hooves on shoulder "What's Wrong " "Erm...nothing really" and then there was scream of excitement "OH MY GOSH COCO! ITS SIMPLY DIVINE , This place is like from those romantic books" everypony ears were blocked by their own hooves, that didn't help much though , Tia and Luna decided to see who it was, and they saw a white mare, with deep blue eyes indigo mane "Marshmallow" was only what came from Luna "M-Miss Rarity" Coco looked up to the mare, who stood now close to her and started nuzzling "You didn't have to do this dear...hmm and Miss Mayor welcome , who are our guests ?" "Their helped me Miss Rarity" Coco had still curled ears. "Oh my , thank you for helping Coco so much, she always try too much , I mean i appreciate the help dear, but you simply must do something for yourself sometime" then Rarity eyes went wide in excitement "Oh you simply must take this present Coco" Rarity levitated a gem from her bags. and placed on her assistant hooves , it was now Coco's eyes turn to went wide, but her were of shock "I can't , it's to much precious " "Take it i insist" "I-Thank you...Thank you Rarity" Coco now cleary was embarrassed , Rarity then turned from Earth Mare and asked about Pegasus and Unicorn "I'm Luna and this is Celestia" Luna was smiling and Celestia took a little bow "They here from Canterlot to oversee Hearts and Hooves Day special event" said Mayor turned to guests "I'm sorry but it seems i must go, it's kinda late for me i'll see you later" "Hmm Coco maybe you should go with your new friends, and show them Ponyville" Celestia looked in confusion at the words of white unicorn "Friends ?" "Um o-okay" They were now walking on streets of Ponyville , Tia was thinking about Bleeding Heart, and way to stop her, in front of her was Coco and Luna they seemed to talk, but talking was almost done by Pegasus, Coco was most of the times nodding but seemed to enjoy their walk, soon between them flew a little pegasus, and there was sound as if something was hit "Uff"Celestia was lying again on her back, and on her chest was little gray pegasus with black mane "Oh...i'm sorry" and then, there was loud shout RUMBLE ! "Ah need to run ...uf i can't move" "Rumble" In front of them landed a mare , her coat was pale persian blue , and her mane pale cerulean with white highlights, it looked dishelved in every possible direction "M' sorry Cloudchaser" Before Cloudchaser said anything she looked at unicorn, and helped her get up "I'm Cloudchaser thank you for stoping him" ''Well, that wasn't my intention" it was this moment when Rumble crossed his hooves, and started lying on grass As the introductions were made another mare came flying , she looked tired "Flitter" Luna and Tia looked at Flitter , she was similiar to Cloudchaser but her mane was Pale, light grayish opal and in different style "Hey" Cloudchaser started "She's my sister Flitter" and they started hugging ,Coco cheeks were turning red Luna beaming with smile "Aw their cute" Gleh was the only sound that came from Rumble , Flitter shot a look on the young colt "Ok i'm sorry Flitter i was bored, anyway can we go ,Thunderlane soon will be back and please don't tell him" "I won't ....Cloud" she was cut by words of her sister " Don't worry about me i won't lose job because of you're screw up, besides it was Rumble fault ...We see each other later"Clodchaser cheeks turned red ,and with this Flitter and Rumble flew away Cloudchaser was looking at the ponies she never saw "So i'm Cloudchaser, but i think i already said that" "I'm Luna, and she is Celestia" and Unicorn responded with "Wow seems that recently we only introduce ourselves to other ponies" Cloudchaser smiling looked at Coco "Hey hey , is the decor for Hearts and Hooves day special event done ? " "Um...Yes" "Oh yeah it will be romantic moment hihi" Then Celestia decided to be bold and asked " So you make out with your sister ?" and this was the moment that Cloudchaser lost her good mood "Is there a problem ?" Tia backed away from pegasus "No im sorry...i was just curious...sorry" hiding behind her hooves "She's my sister, but i love her more than just a sister , and i will always protect her"Celestia was nodding "I understand" then Cloudchaser seen that her little outburst scared the unicorn "Oh sorry didn't meant to scare you" "It's ok" "Sorry i must go, we probably see each other later again" and with this she flew off "I wish i could be so brave" said Coco looking at the ground, then was hugged by Luna from behind "You're nice pony" "Ah Luna...its embarrassing" Earth Mare were again red "It seems that Hearts and Hooves Day mood is getting to ponies" Said Celestia and started going away "Im sorry i have something important to do" "Tia where are you going ?" "To library Lulu , maybe there i will find something on how to stop Bleeding Heart" "Uh Tia " then their talk was interupted as another pony approached them , the unicorn patted Blue Pegasus back, coughed and with excitment said "Luna ?! Luna it's you !" Luna turned to see Light cornflower blue coat of a unicorn mare which she recognized immediately "Colgate !" Light blue unicorn let a little squee "What are you doing here Luna ?" "I'm with my Friend from Canterlot , here her name is Celestia" as soon Luna finished talking Colgate was shaking Celestia hoof "I'm Colgate pleased to meet you" "L-Likewise...um Luna maybe you should catch up with your friend, while i go to Library, because there is this important stuff i must do ehehe" she then looked to Colgate and she was talking to Coco , so it was perfect opportunity to walk away and go to library ,she couldn't do anything with those ponies trying to make friends with her "Ponies in this town are crazy"
