…. Right so I'll never eat another cupcake again. Well anyway chapter 2.

Chapter 2: Equestria daily

Ponyville, Equestria (Equi-1)

August 4th, 2728

5:00 PM

Twilight was reading some books when Rainbow Dash suddenly flew in. She flew onto the floor and put her aqua wings away.

"I'm ready for number 5!" Dash said.

Twilight levitated Daring Doo book number five over to Dash. She caught it in her mouth.

"Thanks Twilight!"

"No problem!"

(Mas Que Nada- Rio soundtrack)

Dash flew off for her early morning weather commute. Partly cloudy. She whacked a few clouds.

"There we go!"

Satisfied with her work she went over to her place to read Daring Doo No. 5.

(Song end)

Meanwhile at Twilight's place. Twilight was reading a book about aliens. Spike came strolling down the stairs. He burped out a scroll.

"What does Celestia have to say to me today?" Twilight opened the scroll.

My faithful student

I need you and your friends to come to Canterlot for a few days. I'll tell you why when we get here. It's IMPORTANT!

- Princess Celestia

"Sounds important." Spike said.

"Yeah. Let's go get everyone and get ready to go to Canterlot."

First stop: Sugar cube corner: the town bakery and home of Pinkie Pie. Twilight went up to the pink colored door and knocked on it. Pinkie Pie opened the door.

Pinkie was a Pink earth pony with a pink mane.

"Oh hey Twilight what's going on?"

"Celestia wants us to come to Canterlot for a few days."

"Cool are we throwing a party? Is it Celestia's birthday? Is it?"

"She didn't say but it seems important."

"Well… Maybe it's Luna's birthday!"

"PINKIE! I don't think it's anyone's birthday!"

"Ok."

Pinkie, Twilight, and Spike walked over to Fluttershy's place. Her cottage was built in a tree and it was surrounded by animals. Fluttershy was a yellow Pegasus pony with a lightish red mane (Pink!). Well more like light pink.

"Oh, hey Twilight." She said in a low shy voice.

"Hey, umm Celestia wants us to go to Canterlot for something important."

"Oh gee Twilight; I'd love to go but I've gotta watch the girls."

"The girls?"

"Yeah Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo."

Just as she said that the 3 fillies came running out of the house.

"Well you could bring them along!" Twilight suggested.

"OK."

"YEAH!" Pinkie yelled.

Up next was sweet apple acres home of Applejack. Applejack was out apple bucking. Twilight, Pinkie, Spike, and Fluttershy walked up to her as she bucked a tree.

"Well howdy doo, Twilight."

"The Princess needs us all in Canterlot right away."

"Can do!" Applejack did the pony salute and began walking to the boutique where Rarity spends her days.

Twilight knocked on the door. Rarity opened the door.

"Hello darling!"

"The princess needs us in Canterlot she says it's urgent."

"Ok just as soon as I-"

"No we need to go there right now! Well after we get Rainbow Dash."

"OK." Rarity donned a sparkly hat and followed Twilight to Dash's cloud house.

Dash was sitting on a cloud reading her book.

"DASH!"

She was so surprised she dropped her book.

"Hey!"

"We need to go to Canterlot! The princess says it's urgent!"

"OK." She said in an unenthusiastic tone.

They then took the train to Canterlot. The ride took about an hour.

Canterlot, The royal castle

9:00 PM

The six ponies and the 3 fillies rushed through the door. Princess Celestia was waiting for them in the lobby.

"Good, you made it." The princess said. "We have things to discuss."

They walked into the Canterlot archive and Celestia opened up a blank sheet on the wall.

"We are not alone." She said.

She projected a picture of the moon with her horn. The surface was fine but there was a large metallic object on the surface.

"What is that?" Twilight asked.

"That is an extraterrestrial vessel. Luna spotted it when she raised the moon."

"WELL WHAT IS IT DOING HERE?" Dash asked.

"I don't know what its intentions are. But all I can say right now is that you all must stay in Canterlot until this blows over." Celestia stopped projecting the image. "You can stay in the royal sweets until I'm through with this."

Dash gave her signature pony salute and walked away.

Celestia looked up at the moon. The ship was still fully visible.

X Dashing Loyalty, (Equi-1 moon)

Samborn had ordered an X painted on the UNSC logo on the port and stern on the ship. She found it quite fitting. She had a crew of 50 people. Her first officer's name was Caleb Foster. The ship was an old fashion UNSC destroyer that was decommissioned after the covenant war. It was down on the moon of a planet she called Equi-1 due to the UNSC calling this system the Equi star system. 5 planets 1 inhabited. Inhabited by what Samborn couldn't put a finger on.

"Maam, bio-scanners are offline but I was able to get us those torpedoes operational."

Samborn just stared off into the green planet of Equi-1.

"Maam?"

"Get those sensors operational I want to see what's down there."

"Yes maam!"

Canterlot, Royal palace

Celestia wandered through the halls of her palace.

'Maybe these aliens' intentions aren't sinister.' Celestia thought.

Celestia then sent out a radio signal from her horn letting every UNSC ship in the sector who and where equestria was.
