Heck Yeah, Pony Scans!

A Bitten Apple…Part 3!

(Halloween pony horror story…*death mention*)

Determined to find out the mystery behind her sister Applejack’s Death, Autumn Breeze is joined by Apple Crisp and Abra-Ca-Dabra in the deep deep woods. They read in an old book to seek the help of the ponies of the past, and Gen 1 Applejack appeared before them in the old show stable.

“There is a sight of more ancient magic, the old ruins of our first pony King, King Majesty. I’m sure ghosts of his court would be able to help us find out the mystery of your sister’s death”.

Deep in the forsaken woods lie the ruins of what was once a magical and powerful castle. It’s faded pink walls were dilapidated and the blue turrets had holes in their peaks.

Suddenly Autumn Breeze felt a shadow creep up her body, “Spirits Please! I mean no harm! I just want to know what happened to my sister!”

A quick breeze chilled the ponies to the bone, and in the ruins stood two spirits of ponies from the past. A fuzzy purple Pegasus spoke, “I am twilight, and this is Gypsy. We cannot bring your sister back, but we can use our ancient magic to help you find peace.”

Gypsy went into the rubble and dusted off four golden shoes in a holder, “these are the golden horseshoes, given to King Majesty from a powerful pony named Mimic. I wonder if there is any ancient magic left in them…”

Autumn Breeze fit perfectly in the old horseshoes and wished with all her might, “I wish, I wish I knew what happened to Applejack. Why did she die so suddenly?”

While the golden horseshoes started to glow with the little bit of magic that was left, a dark figure galloped close to Autumn Breeze. A rustle of leaves and branches was heard by Abra-Ca-Dabra but it was too late to warn Autumn Breeze of the impending danger..

Queen Tiffany and King Majesty took little Celestia aside one day and broke some big news! “Now my little Princess, your life is heading into a whole different direction now- you’re gonna be a big sister!”. Celestia was excited, but also quite confused. Would she do a good job being a big sister? And would her parents still spend time with her?

Her father took her to the battlements of the Dream Castle on that fated day. The moon shone extra bright that night as Majesty told his daughter, “Don’t worry my princess, we still love you so much!”.

After quite a while, Celestia and her father were allowed back into the Dream Castle as they found Queen Tiffany and her Princess relatives surrounding the new little Princess! To everyone’s surprise, she was an amazing deep shade of purple, with bright emerald eyes. Princess Sparkle chirped, “She looks like me!!!”. King Majesty looked upon his new child and stated, “She is as beautiful as the light of the moon tonight, her name must be Luna”.

 But what really shocked everyone was unlike Celestia who has massive, disproportionate wings, Luna’s wings were much smaller, but her horn was bigger and covered with magical dust. Majesty was shocked, she must take after him and his unicorn heritage a little more!

Celestia and Luna’s early childhood in the Dream Castle was a delight. Celestia’s better powers of flight and Luna’s more advanced magic got them into a bit of trouble, and poor Spike had to be chasing after them very much! They were also mentored by the other Princesses, such as Princess Sparkle teaching Luna about some magic spells!

Piccolo and her new friend Windy Wisp were playing well together one day, but an idea popped into Piccolo’s head, “What if I could fly WITH her? Then we can play together even more!”. Piccolo gathered some arts and crafts supplies together and made a cute pair of wings out of fabric, plus a headset and wand just for fun. “I’m sure this will work!”.

“Windy Wisp! Hey! Wait up!”. Piccolo tried to flutter her wings to catch up to her, but they didn’t lift her off the ground. Windy Wisp was much impressed by her creations, and stated, “Don’t worry Piccolo! I told you I would see you tomorrow!”. Piccolo was devastated that her creation didn’t work, and sadly walked to the Greener than Green meadow where the wishing well was. Crystal Crown saw Piccolo tearful, and talked with her. “I don’t know if the wishing well will grant you wings, but I guess it’s worth a shot?”. In a flash of light and glitter, Star Catcher magically appeared before both of them! “Oh King Starcatcher! You’re here to grant me wings aren’t you??”.

“No Piccolo, for I know that is not what you truly wish for. I know you are afraid to lose your new friendship with Windy Wisp, and you think that you being an earth pony will ruin your friendship”.

Piccolo realized that Star Catcher was absolutely right, and took off her worn pair of arts and crafts wings. Star Catcher continued, “Earth ponies are so beautiful in their own right, there is no reason why you should wish you were anything else! We pegasi depend on and respect you all so much. Never worry about that!”.

Star Catcher summoned Windy Wisp over, and Piccolo was able to verbalize her fears to her. “Of course I love you just the way you are Piccolo! How silly of you to think that I wouldn’t be your friend just because you’re an earth pony?”. Piccolo felt so relieved after facing her true fears, and realized that her wish really did come true!

Silver Song called a meeting for the Ponyville Players band and choir: “We need new members I believe, to round us all out! We all sound great but…there’s something missing I seem…”. Piccolo quickly typed up some flyers, and the next evening there was a line forming around Celebration Castle!

The first one to audition was Thistle Whistle, and while her whistling skills were wonderful, they weren’t quite what the band needed. Then Jolly Lolly sang some Christmas Carols quite beautifully, but Christmas already passed! Lastly in Line was a pony named Rhythm and Rhyme, “Well by the name, she might do well!” Starsong jumped excitedly. 

The entire band watched and waited for Rhythm and Rhyme to start singing, but…she didn’t! “Maybe she has some stage fright?” pondered Sunrise Song. Silver Song jumped in, “Is there anything that you’re waiting for dear?”.

“Oh, wait, you’re waiting for me to actually sing?? I can’t sing at all!” chimed in Rhythm and Rhyme. The whole band acted confused, but Rhythm and Rhyme explained, “I’m a song writer! I was wondering if you already had one for your band??”. Silver Song exclaimed, “That’s EXACTLY what we need for our band!”. Rhythm and Rhyme pulled out her computer and boom box and played some of the songs she wrote. The whole band was so moved by her talent that they unanimously made her the next member of their band!
