[General Solar Magus 469]

The universe has yet to be created, please wait........

 

[General Solar Magus 469]

I wake up.

I am in an empty universe. There is nothing in it but me.

I see only a white floor, and a white sky that goes on into infinity.

I stand up, I look around, and I feel.... something, some kind of magic.

 

I instinctively lift my hoof into the air.

Suddenly, a small rift opens where I waved my hoof.

“Did I do that?” I say with my calm voice.

Seconds later, another spirit pony comes out of that rift. They look different to how I look.

“Hello, what is your name?”

They told me their name.

I instinctively say: “Let’s make you a home.”

I wave my hoof again, and a small house appears.

“I think I’m getting the hang of this.”

I wave my hoof a third time, and many more rifts open, followed by many new ponies with varying faces.

I smile and continue.

My magic begins to conjure more buildings, hills with grass and flowers, lakes and mountains with snow tops.

After time, a small group of ponies including you come to me from the city and you ask:

“What is all this?”

I reply:  ”I am making a whole new world, just for you” and I smile at you.

 

“By the way, I am happy that you came to me. I have something that I would like you to do”.

“This new world will face many trials, and I need a brave group of spirits to help me protect it.”

Another asks: “Protect from what?”

I reply: “To protect it from uninteresting things. This world is made of many things from beautiful to scary. Everything here is made of something special, and I need all of you to make sure that everything stays special. Make sure that nothing becomes dull or grey.”

I smile at you and the group.

I raise my voice so the whole group:

“I am going to make this world a physical form, and when I do, I am going to send all of you to it”.

“You are the guardians. Find a way to protect the world from the grey if it ever shows up”.

I finish creating the physical realm.

“I have finished creating the physical realm, and I have conjured physical bodies for each of you within it..

 

I pause for a second.

“My friends”.

“Now you must go”.

“I will help you as much as I can, but the grey will come for me first.”

“Until we meet again. Stay safe.”

 

I open a portal that can take you and the rest of the group to the physical realm.

 

Suddenly.....  a massive surge of magical energy rips through the nearby mountains.

The white sky turns grey, and the buildings start to become flimsy, and fall.

“You must go now. Protect the physical realm from the grey, and I will protect the spirit realm form it. GO!” I shout.

 

The others jump through the portal, and before you do, you notice the ground turning grey and it spreads from the ground to my hoofs, ...... and it begins to cover my body.

.

.

Before it covers my head, I turn my head and smile at you before you go through.

You go through to begin your story....

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You find yourself and the others in a magical tunnel surging through a black realm. at rapid speed.

The tunnel splits up and you watch it take you and the others in different directions.

Everyponies tunnels begin to travel down and make you feels like you are dropping fomr the sky.

You fall....

....

You fall faster.....

....

Faster!....

....

And faster!!....

....

Suddenly you hit the end of the tunnel before you notice it....

You feel a little bit weak from the journey. You then notice that you are now in your promised body and that it is already living a life that you don’t know about.

The spirit @Star48955 is inhabiting the body of Crystal Moonlight.

The spirit @Maple Bat is inhabiting the bodies of both Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

The spirit @Techno Universal is inhabiting the body of Techno Universal.

The spirit @Der Kerzenwaechter is inhabiting the bodies of both Wavecrash Trifold and Morph Objective.

The spirit @rolle is inhabiting the body of Heathlife.

The spirit @)o( Dream Walker )o( is inhabiting the body of Alexandria Charge.

The spirit @Once In A Blue Moon is inhabiting the body of General Napier Flight.

The spirit @C. Thunder Dash is inhabiting both the bodies of Thundy and Chelsea

 The grey spirit @General Solar Magus is inhabiting both the bodies of General Solar Magus and Comet Dust.

 

“Hello....”

A disembodied voice speaks to you.

“You are now in a realm called Equestria. You must learn of the lives of the bodies that you inhabit.”

“Watch what they do, learn what they learn.”

“Keep them safe by guiding them in their story, and they will keep you safe by staying strong.”

“One day, you and your bodies might face the grey.”

“Good luck.....” the voice trails into quiet.

.

.

.

For the first time you try to look through the eyes of your body. You see the sky, and the ground. You smell the air, and you notice that your body is already going on with it’s life. You look into the bodies memories, and learn of their life until now.

 

You are now ready to stand with your host against the great trials ahead....

Good luck and don’t forget.

Don’t forget.

.

[General Solar Magus 469]

The time is now at 25 years after the first friendship festival, and the 26^th annual friendship festival is about to begin.

The annual friendship festival is a big day of celebration for Equestria as it signifies the unity of all of the states of the enormous nation. Every friendship festival celebrates a different state, and this year the state of Seaquestria is finally getting its turn after the last 24 years since joining Equestria.

Once arrived, thousands of Seaponies will join the residents of Canterlot and other guests in a grand and glorious day. The leader of Seaquestria will also be giving a speech in honour of the occasion, and the Seaponies are bringing with them a secret gift to bestow upon their fellow capital state.

 

On this day, the hustle and bustle of Canterlot has never been so joyous. The excitement is in the air and everypony is talking about all of the things that they plan to do that the event has to offer. From the pools in the streets and in the air, to the grant concert of singers, to the grant magic research reveal by the Tower of Sorcery, to the party games, to the sales stands of all kinds, and much more.

 

It is now morning, and Princess Celestia has recently raised the sun to spark this fine day. Canterlot is ready for the big celebration and all is about to begin.

Ponies who have been travelling from other parts of Equestria for the event are beginning to arrive at the gates of the city, but only beginning to as many are still to come including the Seaponies of Seaquestria from the river connected to Horseshoe Bay alongside their Equestrian military escort marching at the rivers side’s.

The residents of Cantelot are already enjoying themselves in the pools, and other activities are ready to begin at their given times during the day.

 

For the current time, the city is a little bit quiet aside from the occasional cannonball splash, as the day is still opening up. However, that is just about to change.

Twighlight Sparkle, the founder and manager of the event since its founding walks up onto the stage setup in town square.

She speaks through the microphone and is broadcast to all the corners of the city:

“Hello everypony. It is I your princess of friendship Twighlight Sparkle, your proud host of this 25^th annual friendship festival that is about to take place. The event will officially start with a speech provided by our very own Princess Celestia later this morning. Until then, I hope that you all enjoy yourselves and have lots of fun. Thank you.”

She walks off. 

 

A pony in a brown cloak is seen arriving on the DJ perch placed atop the stage roof with a lot of equipment.

They put everything in its place.

They plug in their equipment.

They put on their headphones.

.

.

The pony suddenly pulls their cloak off to be revealed at the legendary Equestrian DJ Vinyl Scratch.

Without hesitation, she’s begins the first song and kickstarts what is about to be the biggest party in Equestrian history.

 

A roar of cheer surges through the city and the fun truly begins.

@Star48955

Techno was having fun talking a day off his job that day. He was wearing his massive five meter long cape that had magical properties. He was even doing neon object shows above him to test the spells for it and to entertain the others. He then accidentally toggled a spell that spawned a massive five meter long hooded cape on Moon who was nearby. Moon's new cape had magical properties like Techno's cape plus it was black with a purple boarder outline. Techno then looked in her direction with a startled face...

Chelsea emerged from the underwater depths of the Equestrian sea. She shook herself off and packed her little bag, munching on some meaty treats as she headed back to the direction of Ponyville. 

Meanwhile Thundy was getting himself ready to go perform for a small gig. He got his famed gold-yellow Gibson SG Special ready and his pedalboard as well. 

 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Not all ponies were in the large crowds that where at Canterlot, There were a few who would hang around the party but mostly avoid the large groups, The smaller groups were chatting amongst themselves and having a good time. Four ponies were in a small group all on their own these ponies were the Family of Kindness and Chaos, Fluttershy, and Discord. Who had gotten married many years before secretly inside the Chaos realm.

The two had had two children as well: Maple Bat, The loyal Vampire-Fruit Bat-Pony who severed valiantly under Luna. Maple excelled in combat and in-battle leadership plus she was an especially good shot with a bow, The talent that earned her the cutie mark she proudly bears today. Maple was shy normally but as a guard, she couldn't be, Thankfully this festival was during the day

The other sibling was Woodland Orchestra: The young dragonequus son of Discord. "Woody" was a natural at magic and could learn new spells extremely quickly. His talent in magic came from his voice: Singing caused Woody to be able to use magic far beyond that of which a normal unicorn could perform. He, however, was very shy about his own voice thinking that his singing wasn't that good. Despite that Woody had made plans to perform on stage for the audience. Needless to say, he was scared.

"I don't know mom... What if they don't like it... What if I can't control my magic and some pony gets hurt because of me..." Woody said to Fluttershy not meeting her soft gaze due to his own fear "Then I'll have ruined everything..."

Fluttershy, who was the main reason the other 3 were avoiding the crowds, smiled at her son "You'll do great Woody. I know you think something's going to go bad but I have faith you can do it." She reassured

"Remember, We talked about it. If your magic starts to build up and gets uncontrollable then start up a light show or expel it in a way that will 'impress' the other ponies, which is much easier than you think." Discord added before stating "Even if you do something that could get somepony hurt I'll make sure no one does."

Woody smiled at the two "I'll do my best. It's going to be a little before I preform... I think I'll be ready by then."

[Once In A Blue Moon 895]

Napier Flight stood on the deck of the Eurus as it moored to the Canterlot skyport. The ship was bedecked with Equestrian banners, with a huge flag was suspended beneath the hull, whilst Napier himself was wearing his dress uniform complete with medals and a rapier surrendered to him by a Gryphon officer.

"General Flight, you're wanted in the palace at your earliest convenience," Captain Sentry said, a messenger in a royal tabard standing next to him with an expectant expression.  

"Thank you captain, I shall be along directly," General Flight answered, spending a moment longer watching the fireworks explode over the city, "Keep things in order, I'll have the Eurus relieved as soon as I've briefed Nimbus," he continued. Captain Sentry gave a quick smile of thanks along with his official acknowledgement - they'd been patrolling the boarder of what had once been the Gryphon Kingdom for the past six months, and the crew was eager for shore leave during Equestria's biggest party.

Flash Sentry was a fellow Boarder Campaign veteran, and one of Flight's most reliable officers, whilst Emerald Nimbus was Flight's new second in command - he hadn't served with her before, but she had distinguished herself during anti-piracy operations in the Badlands and had served nearly as long as he had. Her ship, the Phoenix, would be taking over from the Eurus whilst she underwent maintenance and her crew was on leave. But before Flight could rubber stamp the handover, he apparently had an appointment at the palace at his 'earliest convenience'. He set off at a brisk walk.

Unknown pony: "This is getting interesting" a nearby pony says to them self quietly.

Unbeknownst to the family of Chaos and Kindness, a certain pony had been following them ever since they arrived in the city.

Hiding behind pot plant after pot plant, in bush after bush, and in every chimney down the street, this very nosy pony was trying to listen to their conversations without their knowing.

 

As time went by there was unfortunately nothing left to hide in or behind so this pony decided to buy a massive cone of cotton candy from a nearby stand, and ominously followed them at every turn.

Due to a lack of sight, they accidentally step on Discords tail and trip over causing themselves to be completely engulfed in an avalanche of delicious strawberry flavored sugaryness.

The Canterlot Skyport was especially full of ships today most of which being military vessels and citizens transport vessel for those ponies seeking joy in the Friendship Festival.

Another ship bearing the official emblem of Las Pegasus had just arrived. Two very highly distinguished ponies walked of the ship as it docked. No other two ponies could have quite a concerning grin like the ones those two have always carried on their faces. It was none of other than the Co-majors and the highly accomplished and dominating entrepreneurs of the city, the Flim-Flam brothers.

They noticed upon the deck of their parking neighbor a very well decorated Equestrian General, and without hesitation they lifted their hats in greeting.

Flim: "Why hello there General. If I am not mistaken, you are the pony that has been leading Equestria in the recent conflicts against the Griffon Kingdom".

Flam: "Indeed. I believe your name is Napier Flight, yes? You must tell us of you exploits."

While they speak, four more ships from Las Pegasus dock adjacent to theirs and begin unloading hundreds of crates of all shapes and sizes. It's no doubt that those two opportunists are planning on using the festival to expand their famous economic empire.

At the South of the city, there were a few thousand ponies finding their way to the city. What was only imagined as a visit of an added audience, became what could only be compared to a migration.

To the East of this area was a smaller group of ponies from Baltimare travelling Westward alongside the side the river to reach the city gates

 

A family of 4 ponies among the travelling group of a few hundred notices Techno's magic drawing a small crowd on their path. The family walks up to him and the father of the family comes asks: "Hi there, are you planning on entering the Magic competition at the Festival? You seem to be really good."

The wife then says to her husband: "Honey, we're already late. We have to get to the city before Princess Celestia starts the opening ceremony."

@Der Kerzenwaechter

A few kilometers down stream the coming Seaponies with their Leader and Equestrian military escort.

Two large contingents of 3000 troops each were marching on either side of the river in column formation, while roughly a thousand Seaponies were swimming up the river in between them. The Seaponies have with them an underwater convoy made of minerals exclusive to the Seaquestrian ocean floor containing their gift to the Capitol State.

At the front of the Seaponies was a royal submersible water chariot upon which the current king of Seaquestria sat. His name is Rip Tide, the stepson of the ex-queen Novo and stepbrother to princess Skystar. His reputation as an accomplished reformist and to some extend a military leader in a few recent conflicts against the Dragonlands, have earned him the reputation of a King who won't be stopped when protecting and growing his world.

Techno was standing there proudly as his cape was flowing behind him with his magic. He then turned to the family with a smile...

 

TU: Yeah I might as well enter the magic competition! Plus my magic is extremely advanced and futuristic to! And my massive cape is really showing that off!

The royal messenger looked on impatiently as Flight stopped for a moment. Flight wasn't that enthusiastic either, but wealth bought certain privileges and brushing off two of Canterlot's social and economic elite would bring nothing but trouble.

"I am General Flight, yes," he confirmed, "Although I should remind you that the war ended several years ago," not that the boarder clans seem to have realised "And we have been working with the Griffonstone government," such as it is "To keep the boarder secure," from the very clans that would have taken the king's head for surrendering if they weren't so busy fighting us. "However, I am due to give a lecture on the lessons learnt from the Boarder Wars and their application to the Equestrian Armed Forces next Wednesday, if you wished to attend that - it will draw from my own experiences of both traditional and airship warfare, and the strengths and drawbacks of both."

Thundy made sure he had all his wires ready and every setting on his pedalboard. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea was flying high in the air and heading towards Canterlot. She saw the majestic castle up ahead and began to descend. She saw many ponies there for the festival. "I wonder if Thundy's gonna perform..." She said to herself as she landed, swinging her locks of hair around.

Discord turned to look at the pony who just stepped on his tail. When he turned he moved his tail in order to "Huh? You know little pony, I'd watch where you're going. You might step on the wrong tail..." He held up his claw to snap and punish the pony but a quick glare from Fluttershy reminded him that he's not to do that anymore, so he lowered his claw.

Maple was suspicious of something about this pony. " That was a lot of cotton candy... Why'd you get so much? I mean even pinkie pie would limit herself at a point... you could barely even see past it all." She could've sworn she saw this pony before hoof but didn't want to say it and be wrong.

Woody rolled his eyes "Maple... He could be hurt..." The young dragonequus held out a paw to the pony. "You alright? Looks like the fall hurt."

[rolle 320]

Heathlife was in the same tower as he has been for the past year... months? Had it been a week maybe? Time itself had been lost, he couldn't tell day to day. He always sat there, question after question... answer after answer, another distraction after the other. His body continually completed them as his mind was out... wandering the depths of his psyche, plotting, thinking, trying to orient himself in an endless void. He always felt as if he grasped something, then it slipped. He tried to fix it, but, if he can't find it... how can he? His body jumped and his mind was dragged to acknowledge the outer world as a knock was on the door. He had no time to orient himself as the door opened. He felt the air change as someone walked up to him, yet, in his confusion, he could not act. He heard a voice... but he couldn't understand it, how could he? When even his own thoughts currently fall short from nausea. He couldn't even see through his eyes clearly, but he did not panic... He didn't even feel it, but, suddenly his body had collapsed on the floor. His mind felt as if it revolved numerous times in his brain before stopping. Then a sharp light flooded into his vision, he squinted his eyes, he felt his heartbeat, his breathing... And he looked up at the guard... Why was there a guard here? Had he been allowed free roam? After so long? After his plans were found? Had it even been a day? So many questions, but, no answers would be heard, even if the guard knew them. Such was his life, endless questions with no answers. He tried to stand and found it troublesome, his muscles didn't listen to him. The guard in front of him most likely tried to help him, but Heathlife rejected it. As he finally stood up he looked at the guard closer...

When he looked at the guard, he saw it was a unicorn... how wonderful, he saw it was levitating one of the pieces of paper he had on the floor, then the guard spoke "I'm here to escort you... miss... mister? Heathlife" the guard stared at the words on the paper, as if Heathlife cared, he didn't even respond to the guard as they started speaking again "For the friendship festival? I was told to escort you, forcibly if needed." as they said this Heathlife groaned at his predicament, he was so close to fixing his shattered spell, yet, so far away. He looked at the guard with a disdainful look as he said "I'll comply, for now."  the guard led the way out and Heathlife, for the first time in who knows how long, saw the spires of Canterlot, the majestic mountain, castle, and buildings. Of course, they all looked small, minuscule, brittle and utmost pointlessly decorated in his eyes, more than usual.

Moon stood on the side of the road, uninterested. She watched as a crowd passed by, and she shook her head and sighed. She suddenly paused, and looked down at her back as a cape appeared on it. It was in the same style as her bodysuit, black with purple accents. She blinked, before looking around and spotting Techno. She walked closer, before stopping at the edge of the group.

TU: Ohh hi there! I know my mental system probably put that massive hooded cape on you and you seriously look good in it! It's like I'm really enjoying how my massive cape it flowing regally with my magic now!

Moon blinked for a moment before offering a small half smile. "Uh, thanks?" She examined the cape for a moment before continuing talking. "This is quite impressive. The enchantments in this are very powerful."

TU: Yeah to be honest the magical properties of that cape are actually the same as my cape! Plus at the same time the capes are really soft and cuddly and they really can keep you warm in cold conditions! Plus my cape dose have a hood like your's but it's just not up right now anyways I'll just snuggle for a bit!

 

Techno then put on the hood on his cape and he was enjoying the fluffy texture of it...

The royal messenger looked on impatiently as Flight stopped for a moment. Flight wasn't that enthusiastic either, but wealth bought certain privileges and brushing off two of Canterlot's social and economic elite would bring nothing but trouble.

"I am General Flight, yes," he confirmed, "Although I should remind you that the war ended several years ago," not that the boarder clans seem to have realised "And we have been working with the Griffonstone government," such as it is "To keep the boarder secure," from the very clans that would have taken the king's head for surrendering if they weren't so busy fighting us. "However, I am due to give a lecture on the lessons learnt from the Boarder Wars and their application to the Equestrian Armed Forces next Wednesday, if you wished to attend that - it will draw from my own experiences of both traditional and airship warfare, and the strengths and drawbacks of both."

Flim: "Oh yes, it would be wonderful if we could attend your lecture, but alas we are two very busy ponies."

Flam: "However, we would like to mentions something of importance to you."

Flim: "Indeed. You see, we had a dear nephew who faught in the Griffon Kingdom conflicts under your command. He claimed that he almost lost his life a few times, but it just so happens that some of your commands resulted in the saving his life at least three times."

Flam: "And being just a soldier who finished his time and went back to his home in our city of Las Pegasus, he never had a chance to thank you."

Flim: "So on behalf of our nephew Whim Wit, we would like to say thank you and we would like to say that we owe you a favor in return for saving his life."

Flam: "Don't say anything of it, we are glad to help out those who helped our family. If we ever cross paths again, please feel free to ask us of anything and we will have it done."

Flim: "Oh my brother, were late for a meeting with Fancy Pants in the business district". They turn their heads back to Napier. "Ta ta and all that jazz, we must be going" they both say.

They leave hastily before Napier Flight has a chance to respond to anything they said.

Thundy made sure he had all his wires ready and every setting on his pedalboard. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea was flying high in the air and heading towards Canterlot. She saw the majestic castle up ahead and began to descend. She saw many ponies there for the festival. "I wonder if Thundy's gonna perform..." She said to herself as she landed, swinging her locks of hair around. 

Near where she landed, there were many carts filled with assorted apple themed foods and ciders pulled by what could only be the entire Apple family. Apple Jack herself, the element of Honesty was pulling the largest of the carts at the front of the herd with ease.

As Apple Jack was trotting by while pulling her cart, she noticed Chelsea and said: "Well, howdy there missy. I must say I've seen a lot of things in my time, but I haven't seem something like you before. Where you from?" she smiled in a very friendly manner.

Discord turned to look at the pony who just stepped on his tail. When he turned he moved his tail in order to "Huh? You know little pony, I'd watch where you're going. You might step on the wrong tail..." He held up his claw to snap and punish the pony but a quick glare from Fluttershy reminded him that he's not to do that anymore, so he lowered his claw.

Maple was suspicious of something about this pony. " That was a lot of cotton candy... Why'd you get so much? I mean even pinkie pie would limit herself at a point... you could barely even see past it all." She could've sworn she saw this pony before hoof but didn't want to say it and be wrong.

Woody rolled his eyes "Maple... He could be hurt..." The young dragonequus held out a paw to the pony. "You alright? Looks like the fall hurt."

"Hehehe" the pony laughed. "I'm not a he silly."

That giggle could only belong one pony in all the land.

The pony allowed Woody to help her up. 

She then post haste shook all of the cotton candy off of her self, leaving nothing within a 30 meter radius un-thwacked by the yummy treat.

It was Pinkie Pie!!

"Hi Fluttershy! Hi Discord! Hi Maple, I've heard so much about you! Hi Woody, I've heard so much about you too!" She was jumping around faster than even Discords magical eyes could even keep up, and caused his eyes to roll into the back of his head several times in his classic Chaotic fashion.

She puts her fronts legs around Maple and Woody and says: "Ooooh, It's so nice to meet you two. You are so cute." She was clearly having a massive sugar rush.

Heathlife was in the same tower as he has been for the past year... months? Had it been a week maybe? Time itself had been lost, he couldn't tell day to day. He always sat there, question after question... answer after answer, another distraction after the other. His body continually completed them as his mind was out... wandering the depths of his psyche, plotting, thinking, trying to orient himself in an endless void. He always felt as if he grasped something, then it slipped. He tried to fix it, but, if he can't find it... how can he? His body jumped and his mind was dragged to acknowledge the outer world as a knock was on the door. He had no time to orient himself as the door opened. He felt the air change as someone walked up to him, yet, in his confusion, he could not act. He heard a voice... but he couldn't understand it, how could he? When even his own thoughts currently fall short from nausea. He couldn't even see through his eyes clearly, but he did not panic... He didn't even feel it, but, suddenly his body had collapsed on the floor. His mind felt as if it revolved numerous times in his brain before stopping. Then a sharp light flooded into his vision, he squinted his eyes, he felt his heartbeat, his breathing... And he looked up at the guard... Why was there a guard here? Had he been allowed free roam? After so long? After his plans were found? Had it even been a day? So many questions, but, no answers would be heard, even if the guard knew them. Such was his life, endless questions with no answers. He tried to stand and found it troublesome, his muscles didn't listen to him. The guard in front of him most likely tried to help him, but Heathlife rejected it. As he finally stood up he looked at the guard closer...

When he looked at the guard, he saw it was a unicorn... how wonderful, he saw it was levitating one of the pieces of paper he had on the floor, then the guard spoke "I'm here to escort you... miss... mister? Heathlife" the guard stared at the words on the paper, as if Heathlife cared, he didn't even respond to the guard as they started speaking again "For the friendship festival? I was told to escort you, forcibly if needed." as they said this Heathlife groaned at his predicament, he was so close to fixing his shattered spell, yet, so far away. He looked at the guard with a disdainful look as he said "I'll comply, for now."  the guard led the way out and Heathlife, for the first time in who knows how long, saw the spires of Canterlot, the majestic mountain, castle, and buildings. Of course, they all looked small, minuscule, brittle and utmost pointlessly decorated in his eyes, more than usual.

As the guard walked with Heathlife out of the doorway, another guard approaches Heathlife and this one was a Bat pony. 

The Batpony guard said: "We have been given orders by Princess Celestia to take you to the the Friendship Festival." 

He takes out a scroll and reads it.

"Dear Heathlife,

I cannot allow you to be separated from the rest of your kind like how you have been for so long.

You must learn other things than what you do from your spells, theories, and questions.

You must come to understand that something can be learned from everything and even the small things can teach.

I believe you can benefit from this, so please enjoy the festival at my request. I am trusting you to stay with the guards and behave yourself during this day.

Celestia".

He puts the scroll away.

Come on follow us. The festival is this way.

Techno was standing there proudly as his cape was flowing behind him with his magic. He then turned to the family with a smile...

 

TU: Yeah I might as well enter the magic competition! Plus my magic is extremely advanced and futuristic to! And my massive cape is really showing that off!

The family proceeded to leave as the mother did not want them to be late for the opening ceremony.

"Hi there. I'm Chelsea...I'm originally from the griffon kingdom." She stated with a look of a little worry. She hoped Applejack wouldn't ask her about her parents...for that was an extremely difficult thing to talk about without her going into a sobbing fit. 

Meanwhile, Thundy was all set up and made sure the ponies in charge kept an eye on his instruments.

Wavecrash Trifold watched the passing seaponies with muted interest. He made sure not to get in their way. He respected them in a way he did not respect his fellow ponies. These were a peoples who know of the sea's glory. He wished he knew them better. Perhaps he would become acquainted with them during the party. That possibility was one of the main reasons he wished to attend this event.

Morph gaily trotted about Canterlot as the event began. It was always amazing to see so many different ponies who did so many different things, like all of Equestria smushed into one place for a day! Just now, he saw somepony messing around with capes a lot. Morph got a funny idea. He ran up to Techno, jumped towards him, and turned himself into a dark green cape, landing on him.

Maple simply smiled to the pink pony and said: "Thanks, That's sweet of you" while brushing cotton candy off of herself, "Mom's told us about you as well. You do seem like a wonderful friend... Not surprised we haven't met. I tend to be outside during the night anyway." She said was a friendly and welcoming smile, or at least what was an attempt at one, Her inch long fangs didn't help her smiles much.

Woody was embarrassed by Pinkie's complement, That was simply how he was, Woody was easily flustered by complements, anything that made him feel good about himself really. "T... Thanks. Pinkie... I'm guessing Mom and Dad talked about us a lot, Right?" He smiled awkwardly failing to hide how flustered he was by Pinkie calling him cute, That comment always made him blush.

Meanwhile, Thundy was all set up and made sure the ponies in charge kept an eye on his instruments. 

Applejack says: "The Griffon Kingdom you say. I hear they were recently in a war with Equestria a few month ago. I hope you weren't affected by it."

She continues as she trots along: "Anyway, have you any family and friends comin' to the festival with ya. I see your not with any pony at the moment."

She extends her hoof and offers an apple pie with a smile.

 

Meanwhile in Canterlot behind the stage:

The stage manager arrives. He was a teal earth pony with purple eyes and mane, and he was wearing a fancy purple suit and his mane had a combover.

He walks to the center of the backstage and looks at his clipboard. He makes an announcement to the performers and says: "All right everypony, I see you are preparing for your turns during the stage performances, but first we must get you all singed in on the register. The remainder of the performers are beginning to show up and we need to make sure that everypony knows when they are going to perform after who and what your ques are going to be from our presenter to do what."

Other ponies behind stage included Countess Coloratura, Rebellion the girl band, Big Blues Joe, and Sapphire Shores among others.

Suddenly the attention among travelling ponies in the area was drawn to something nearby. Ponies were talking about how they couldn't believe who it was.

Their attention was focused on a nearby carriage dotted in the most beautiful fashion by gems and the most exquisite designer cloths. The carriage itself was even being pulled by a very well groomed Manticore. 

The ponies were claiming that is was Rarity, the element of Generosity and the owner of the biggest fashion empire in Equestria. She is the second wealthiest pony in the land after the combined wealth of the Flim Flam brothers.

The gathering crowd forces the carriage to stop, and what seems to be a male fashion pony climb out and he says:

"I know your excited everypony, but please. Miss Rarity is bust and must get to the festival on time as she  has important business."

The crowd got into an uproar of excitement when the fashion pony accidentally confirmed that it was indeed Rarity herself. The crowd didn't move from it's spot.

As Wavecrash watched the Seaponies pass by, it became clear that some of the Seaponies were not interested in staying in the river.

Three young Unicorn Seaponies broke away from the pack and even managed to get past the escort unnoticed. They used their magic to fly above the ground and seemed to be playing a game. They noticed Wavecrash watching from afar and then began flying his way.

Upon arrival one of them asked him: "Hello sir, what's your name? I've never seen a pony before besides that marching bunch of boring soldiers over there" he said as he pointed at them.

The other two which were a boy and a girl were snickering at Wavecrash since they arrived.

Pinkie says to Maple: "Well I'm so happy we finally did meet Male." she gives a big smile while tilting her head ever so slightly.

Pinkie noticed Maples fangs "Oooh, I like your fangs, but I....." she raises and lower her eyebrows a few times ".... got better ones!" she said as she used the cotton candies cone and plastic spoon as fake teeth. "I bet you can't bite through stuff like I can" she stands up in an intimidating pose, and then returns to her smilely self a few seconds after.

She turns to Woody "Your mom and dad do talk about you a lot. I've heard all the stories from your first words to the days you learned to use your powers to.... oh wait I shoudn't talk about that" she laughs nervously.

Pinkie Pie somehow then manages to grab one of each four of their claws/hoofs and pulls them to a nearby food stand. "Here, try a Pinkie Pie specialty cupcake" she offers. The grown up Pound and Pumpkin of the cake family were busy manning the stand. 

 

@Once In A Blue Moon (and all)

Meanwhile on a Canterlot Castle balcony:

Celestia: "Are you sure about this?" she said in a concerned manner.

Starlight Glimmer: "Yes princess, we've done the research, ran the numbers, and double and triple checked everything at the tower. There is nothing wrong." she reassures Celestia.

"You know our research could be a lot more detailed and useful if you give us more information." she explains.

Celestia: "It's quite alright. Thank you Starlight Glimmer. You and your co-workers at the Tower of Magic have been of great help to me."

Starlight Glimmer smiles and leaves. Starlight feels a little suspicious as she walks out.

Celestia looks out the window: "I truly hope she is right." she sighs.

She raises her head in confidence. "I started this, I took the chance, and I am ready for it. Whenever it happens, I am ready."

An adviser comes through the door.

"Princess, you are soon due to give the launching speech for the festival. "

Celestia: "Ahh yes, then let us go."

They both leave the balcony.
