Y/n POV
Twilight told me everything that happened while i was asleep and now we are standing infront of the Everfree forest.
Twilight Sparkle:*sigh*So, none of you have been in here before?
Rarity: Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful.
Applejack: And it ain't natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria.
Twilight Sparkle: What's that supposed to mean?
Rainbow Dash: Nobody knows. You know why?
She says in a spooky sounding voice.
Applejack: Rainbow, quit it.
Rainbow Dash: 'cause everyone who's ever come in has never come out!
Y/n: I go in there occasionally and i'm still here but i usually go in during the day, everything looks so different at night.
Rarity: Darling you actually come in here?
Y/n: Yeah, i like it.
Rarity: Okay then.
Then the ground collapses beneath us and we all fall except those who can fly.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy save Applejack and Rarity i summon my sword and stick it in the ground to stop my fall while Twilight is still sliding down but she grabbed onto the edge to stop herself from falling then Applejack slowly slid down and stopped right next to me and i winked at her and by the look on her face she got my meaning.
Twilight Sparkle POV
I'm hanging off the edge, i'm scared.
Applejack: Hold on! I'm a-comin'!
Twilight Sparkle: Applejack! What do I do?
Applejack: Let go.
Twilight Sparkle: Are you crazy!?
Applejack: No I ain't. Ah promise you'll be safe.
Twilight Sparkle: That's not true!
Applejack: Now listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe.
I let go and i fall but as i do i open my eyes to see that i'm not that far from the edge i was hanging off of and i realise that i'm still falling but super slowly then i move my eyes to look around to see that i'm not the only thing moving slowly, but then i see Y/n right near the edge looking down at me with his eyepatch glowing a golden yellow, he reaches for my hand and grabs it and picks me up along with Applejack and when we get to safety everything returns to normal.
Y/n POV
Y/n: That was a close one.
Applejack: Y/n what just happened?
Twilight Sparkle: I would like to know as well.
Rainbow Dash: It looked like everything slowed down except you.
Y/n: If i told you now i would break my Pinkie promise but don't worry i'll tell you when this is all over and Twilight, thank you for trusting Applejack because she's the most trustworthy person anyone will ever meet.
Applejack:*blush*Heh thanks Y/n that means a lot comin from you.
Y/n: We are friends after all.
We begin walking again.
Fluttershy: I still can't figure out how you did that.
Pinkie Pie: Still it was pretty cool.
Y/n: Heh thanks Mina.
Then we spot a manticore.
Y/n:(huh it's Manny Roar i think i'll let fluttershy handle this)
Twilight Sparkle: We've gotta get past him!
Rarity: Take that, you ruffian!
She says as she slap the manticore.
Manny Roar:*roar*
The manticore roars at Rarity messing up her hair.
Rarity: My hair!
Fluttershy: Wait.
Manny Roar:*roar*
Then Applejack jumped on and rode the manticore.
Applejack: YEE-HAW! Git along, little dogie.
Fluttershy: Wait.
Manny Roar:*roar*
Rainbow Dash: Y/n why aren't you helping!?
I hold up a sign that said wait for it.
Rainbow Dash: What's that supposed to mean!?
Fluttershy: WAIT!
Manny Roar:*roar*
Fluttershy: Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby.
She says as she looks him over.
Rainbow Dash: Little?
Fluttershy: Now this might hurt for just a second.
She says as she takes a thorn from the manticore's paw.
Manny Roar:*roar*
Humane 5: Fluttershy!
Manny Roar:*purrs*
Then the manticore started licking Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Hehehehe Aw you're just a little ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are.
Twilight Sparkle: How did you know about the thorn?
Fluttershy: I didn't. Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness.
Y/n: Yep that's Fluttershy for ya, the kindest person you'll ever know.
Fluttershy:*blush*Oh th-thank you Y/n.
Pinkie Pie then jumped on my on my shoulders and her boobs were on my head.
Pinkie Pie: Hey Y/n how's your business going?
Y/n:*blush*It's going great especially since all of you girls hire me more than anyone else.
Pinkie Pie:*blush*Aw thank's i'll make sure to hire you when we're done.
Y/n: Great i look forward to it.
Rainbow Dash: Woah woah woah if anyone is going hire Y/n it's me.
She says pulling Pinkie off of my shoulders.
Fluttershy:*blush*Um i was thinking i would hire him when this is done.
Applejack: Actually i'm hiring him to help with the farm work.
Rarity: No he's helping me out at my boutique after all this has blown over.
Twilight Sparkle: You charge people money for your help?
Y/n: Yeah i told you and i gotta make money and then when i make enough i might try something else and don't worry i'll make time for all of you.
While we were walking it started getting dark so dark that we couldn't even see our hands in front of our faces.
Twilight Sparkle: That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it.
Rarity: I didn't see you there, my apologies.
Rainbow Dash: Right here...guh...
Applejack: Oh wait, ah think ah stepped in somethin'.
Fluttershy: AAAAAHHHHH!
Y/n: It's just mud so calm down Fluttershy.
Then we find ourselves in the light and the trees all had scary faces and they somehow growled.
Humane 5: AAAAAAHHHHH
Y/n: Heheh.
Pinkie Pie: HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Humane 5: Huh?
Pinkie Pie: Hahahahaha Bleh. Ooo! Hahahaha
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!
Pinkie Pie: Oh girls, don't you see?
Song Time
Imagine them as human if you want.
{Pinkie Pie}
When I was a little girl and the sun was going down...
Twilight Sparkle: Tell me she's not...
{Pinkie Pie}
The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown...
Y/n: Heheh she is.
{Pinkie Pie}
I'd hide under my pillowFrom what I thought I sawBut Granny Pie said that wasn't the wayTo deal with fears at all
Rainbow Dash: Then what is?
{Pinkie Pie}
She said, "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tallLearn to face your fearsYou'll see that they can't hurt youJust laugh to make them disappear."Ha! Ha! Ha!
As she laughed at the scary tree it turned back to normal.
{Pinkie Pie}
So, giggle at the ghostly
Guffaw at the grossly
Crack up at the creepy
Whoop it up with the weepy
Chortle at the kooky
Snortle at the spooky
And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh...Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Y/n: That's our Pinkie, she can laugh at fear itself.
Pinkie Pie:*blush*Hehehe thanks Y/n.
Y/n: Don't mention it.
We walked forward only to be blocked by a raging river.
Pinkie Pie: How are we gonna cross this?
Then we hear distant crying so we check it out.
Pinkie Pie: Huh?
Steven Magnet:*crying*What a world, what a world.
Y/n: Hey Steven what's wrong?
I asked the sea serpent.
Steven Magnet: Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off, and now I look simply horrid.*wails*
Rainbow Dash: Oh, give me a break.
Applejack: That's what all the fuss is about?
Y/n: Yeah, but i know someone who might be able to help. Rarity?
Rarity: Why, of course Y/n and how can you two be so insensitive? Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales.
Steven Magnet:*sniff*I know.
Rarity: And your expertly coiffed hair.
Steven Magnet: Oh, I know, I know.
Rarity: Your fabulous manicure.
Steven Magnet:*gasp*It's so true!
Rarity: All ruined without your beautiful mustache.
Steven Magnet: It's true, I'm hideous!
Rarity: I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected.
Then she cuts off some of her hair making her hair significantly shorter.
Steven Magnet:*yelp*What did you do that for?
Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, what are you-
Rarity then used her magic to replace his mustache with her hair.
Steven Magnet:*moans*Oh-hohohoho! My mustache. How wonderful.
Rarity: You look smashing.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Rarity, your beautiful hair...
Rarity: Oh. It's fine, my dear. Short hair is in this season. Besides, it'll grow back.
Rainbow Dash: So would the mustache.
Twilight Sparkle:*gasp*We can cross now. Let's go. Ah!
Steven Magnet: Allow me.
He offers his body as a bridge for us to cross but i was last and he stopped me.
Steven Magnet: So is one of those girls your girlfriend?
Y/n: Uh no.
Steven Magnet: Really? All of those girls look very beautiful and they seem nice.
Y/n: Yeah, so how's Cranky?
Steven Magnet: Last time i saw him he was doing good.
Y/n: He'll find her eventually.
Steven Magnet: I know he will.
Y/n: Well see ya around Steven.
Steven Magnet: Yes see you Y/n.
Rarity: Y/n darling, you know that sea serpent?
Y/n: Yeah i traveled with him and one other man for awhile, it was fun.
Applejack: You know sugarcube yer gonna have ta tell us about yer travels one day.
Y/n: Sure thing.
We begin walking and it started to get very foggy.
Twilight Sparkle: There it is, the ruin that holds The Elements of Harmony. We made it!
She starts running towards the ruin but i saw a cliff in the fog but Twilight didn't so i grab her by her top to stop her.
Y/n: Woah Twilight don't want you falling off a cliff again.
Pinkie Pie:*sighs*Now what?
Rainbow Dash: Duh.
She says showing her wings and the fact that she can fly.
Pinkie Pie: Oh yeah.
Rainbow Dash then flew over the gap to tie up the bridge.
Shadowbolt Leader: Rainbow...
Rainbow Dash: Who's there?
Shadowbolt Leader: Rainbow...
Rainbow Dash: I ain't scared of you! Show yourself!
As she was about to tie up the last rope the purple smoke to the shape of people.
Shadowbolt Leader: We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria.
Rainbow Dash: Who?
Shadowbolt Leader: Why, you, of course.
Rainbow Dash: Really?! I mean...Oh yeah, me. Hey, uh, you wouldn't mind telling the Wonderbolts that, would ya? 'cause I've been trying to get into that group for like, ever.
Shadowbolt Leader: No, Rainbow Dash. We want you to join us, The Shadowbolts. We're the greatest aerial team in the Everfree Forest, and soon we will be the greatest in all Equestria, but first, we need a captain. The most magnificent-
Rainbow Dash: Yep.
Shadowbolt Leader: Swiftest-
Rainbow Dash: Yes.
Shadowbolt Leader: Bravest flyer in all the land.
Rainbow Dash: Yes,*heheheh*it's all true.
Shadowbolt Leader: We need...you.
Rainbow Dash: WOOHOO! Sign me up. Just let me tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal.
Shadowbolt Leader: No! It's them or us.
Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow, what's taking so long? Oh no. Rainbow! Don't listen to them.
Shadowbolt Leader: Well?
I stopped time and flew towards Rainbow Dash. When i stop time i also stop gravity which means i can fly as i please.
Y/n: Sup Dashie.
Rainbow Dash: Y/n? How did you get here?
Y/n: I flew or hovered or whatever over here to get my two bits and here's what i'm going to say. Rainbow Dash we need you and i need you-
Rainbow Dash:*blush*(he needs me?)
Y/n: Just like you need us because we're friends, but friends don't stand infront of each other's dreams, so if you want to join them we won't stop you but i have to say that these wonderbolt wannabes aren't worthy of having the awesomely amazing Rainbow Dash in their team and mean that, every word.
Rainbow Dash: Thank you for the offer but I'm afraid I have to say no.
Humane 5: Woohoo yeah!
Rainbow Dash: See? I'd never leave my friends hangin'.
Y/n: I'm proud of you Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash:*blush*Thanks Y/n.
Y/n: Alright lets get goin the ruins are right there and i have a plan.
Twilight Sparkle: What's the plan Y/n?
Y/n: I split from you girls and i distract Nightmare Moon while you girls find the Elements of Harmony.
Twilight Sparkle: No Y/n it's too dangerous.
Y/n: Relax Twilight i'm way stronger than i look.
Rainbow Dash: But Nightmare Moon knocked you out with one punch.
Y/n: Well A i let her punch me and B i wasn't knocked out i was put to sleep.
Rainbow Dash: Isn't that the same thing?
Y/n: Not for me i wasn't.
Applejack: Are ya sure sugarcube?
Y/n: Yeah, i wouldn't do it if i couldn't handle it, trust me i got this.
I then feel a tug on my shirt, i look to see fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Just be, okay?
Y/n: Don't worry you'll see me again and thats a promise.
Applejack: Hey Y/n please take this with you.
She says as she hangs me her hat.
Y/n: But Applejack this hat is very important to you, are you sure?
Applejack:*blush*Ahm sure, i want to, it'll be a sign of your promise to come back to us.
Y/n: Wow okay i'll take great care of your hat and when we meet again i'll make sur give it back to you AJ.
And with that i put on her hat and and left to find Nightmare Moon.
I am now in the ruins of an old castle and i see Nightmare Moon sitting on a throne.
Nightmare Moon: Why hello oh nephew of mine.
Y/n: You are not my aunt, Luna is, so never call me that again.
Nightmare Moon: Hahahaha You've got some nerve talking to me like that.
She says as she gets up from her throne.
Nightmare Moon: Especially in that god awful hat of yours-
Y/n: Watch what you say next.
Nightmare Moon: Oooooo i'm so scared of that hideous thing on your heard that could only be compared to a fresh peice of shit.
I snapped and rage filled my heart and i stopped time took of my eyepatch and put it in my pocket.
I walked up to Nightmare Moon and punched her repeatedly.
When i started time she went flying into a wall.
Nightmare Moon: Wha- how?! How did you do that?!
Y/n: You don't deserve to know, you witch.
Nightmare Moon: Then prepare to die.
She says as she summons a scythe and i summon my sword.
Y/n: I'll save you aunt Luna!
We charged at each other and our blades clashed and i was pushing her back.
Nightmare Moon: How are you stronger than me? I'm an Aria, your just a filthy Earthling trudging around in the dirt! And you call yourself a prince?
Y/n: That's what made me strong!
I said as i pushed her away.
Nightmare Moon: Impossible!
Y/n: Really? Because i just did it.
She swung her scythe at me with a horizontal slash i jumped up to avoid it then i spun around in the air towards her.
She blocked it but i sliced her scythe in half then while i was still in the air i kicked her head.
Then she put he hand on my chest and blasted me into a wall, i got a few cuts and bruises.
Nightmare Moon: How did you like one of my strongest attacks?
Y/n: Really? That was your strongest attack?
I said walking with a limp but then i reverse time on myself to get rid of my wounds.
Nightmare Moon: What? You can heal yourself?
Y/n: No.
Nightmare Moon: I Just saw you heal your wounds.
Y/n: Well i didn't, i just got rid of them.
Nightmare Moon: Why are you trying to rescue Luna? You don't even know her.
Y/n: True, but i'd like to know her and plus it would make a lot of people very happy.
Nightmare Moon: Wait where are those girls?
Y/n: They probably got the Elements by now.
Nightmare Moon: NO!!
Y/n: I know right? Even i'm surprised it took you this long to figure out, welp my work here is done.
She then turns into purple mist and goes to find the girls and so do i.
After a little bit of walking i find the girls wearing necklaces with their cutie marks on them, same goes for Twilight but hers is a tiara and there all floating in the and shining as bright as the sun then they fire a magical beam of light at Nightmare Moon, defeating her.
I put on my eyepatch, make my sword disappear and go to them.
Y/n:*clapclapclapclap*Nice one girls i knew you could do it.
I walked up to Applejack.
Y/n: Here you go Applejack.
I said as i put her hat back on her head.
Applejack:*blush*Thank you Y/n.
Y/n: And Rarity your hair grew back.
Rarity: Oh i know it's simply lovely.
Twilight Sparkle: I'm so glad your alright Y/n.
She said hugging me.
Applejack: Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship.
Princess Celestia: Indeed you do.
Twilight Sparkle:*gasps*Queen Celestia.
Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie Pie neale in Celestias presence.
Rarity: Y/n get down here.
Y/n: Why?
Rarity: Because you're in the presence of Queen Celestia.
Y/n: Yeah but she's my mother and if i did well that would just be weird.
Humane 6: WHAAAAAAAAAAAT??????!!!!!!
Twilight Sparkle: Your majesty is that true?
Mum: Yes it is.
Twilight Sparkle: Y/n how come you never told me?
Y/n: ...I...i was scared.
Twilight Sparkle: Why would you be scared?
Y/n: Well i also have another secret.
But then Luna woke up.
Luna: Ugh what happened?
Y/n: Hi Aunt Luna.
Luna: Hello Y/n am am i free?
Y/n: Yeah one hundred percent.
Luna:*crying*Thank you.
Rainbow Dash: So you were saying?
Y/n: Yeah, okay here's why i kept secrets.
I remove my eyepatch and reveal my eye to my friends.
Twilight Sparkle: What's with your eye?
Y/n: Don't know, maybe it's the source of my power or maybe my power is why my eye looks like this or maybe something else.
Twilight Sparkle: What is your power.
Y/n: My power is to control time itself.
Twilight Sparkle: What? But that's impossible.
Y/n: Not for me, anyway the reason i didn't tell you or anyone else that i'm the prince of Canterlot is because i wanted to make normal friends who would like me for me and not because i'm royalty and every time i was about to tell you i just forgot because i always had so much fun with Twilight and the reason i didn't tell you about my eye and power was because the first friend who i thought i could trust betrayed me and i've been scared of really getting close to anyone for a long time so i made up my mind to leave Canterlot and grow up, while occasionally returning for my royal duties...i swear i was going to tell you everything the next time i saw you Twilight. It's the one thing i've regretted not doing and i've often wished you were the first person i told about myself.
Twilight Sparkle: What happened to you.
Y/n: My so called friend and his family tried to sell me off to some people after i revealed who i was and what i could do...well it turns out his family wasn't doing well financially so, you know...are you mad?
Twilight Sparkle: No i'm not mad and i do wish you told me before all this but you had your reasons so i can't blame you.
Y/n:*smile*Thank you Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: No, thank you Y/n and you have to show and tell me more about your control over time.
Y/n:*smile*It's a deal.
Rarity: Um, Y/n did you say that your the son of Queen Celestia?
Y/n: Yep, that makes me a prince and please don't call me Prince Y/n your my friends but i don't mind it on special occasions.
Rainbow Dash: Hey how come you never told us?
Y/n: Well we became best friends in such a short time i was thinking of telling you before the sun celebration festival but then all this happened and now i'm telling you now.
Mum: Thank you girls and thank you Y/n for bringing my sister back.
Y/n: No problem fighting Nightmare Moon was a peice of cake.
Rainbow Dash: Seriously?
Y/n: Yeah i could've beaten her if i wanted to.
Mum: Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
Twilight Sparkle: That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.
Mum: Spike, take a note, please. I, Queen Celestia, hereby decree that the Magus Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh thank you, Queen Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before.
Mum: Good and Y/n are you okay?
I put my eyepatch on.
Y/n: Yeah i'm completely fine and anyway we should get back to Ponyville and get this party started.
Pinkie Pie: YEAH now your speaking my language.
We get back to Ponyville and begin the sun celebration festival and i tell Derby, Dinky and Steven Magnet who i am and what i could do, it felt nice.
