A/N: Whelps, here's the first chapter of the Ponies only version of part 2 to the Hour. Special thanks to Midnight Moon Here for contributing the 'Disturbance' for this version of the story. (Sorry about taking so long to use her…)

And so we go.

"That's odd," the blue Alicorn said, looking around, "This doesn't look anything like Equus Prime."

"Hello?" a voice called out from over a nearby hill, "Is anypony there?"

The blue Alicorn watched as a pink pony bounced over the hill.

Pinkie gasped when she saw the Alicorn, "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! IS IT REALLY YOU?"

The Alicorn looked confused, "I'm sorry. Do I know you?"

Pinkie facehoofed, "Silly Pinkie. Why would Midnight Moon remember us? It's been almost two millennia since she last saw us."

Midnight tensed up, the red streaks in her black mane glowing as she summoned her magic, "How do you know my name? Have you been watching me?" Her eyes started darting back and forth, showing a very deep paranoia, "How long have you known where I've been?"

"Don't be silly, Midnight!' Pinkie laughed as she trotted up to the Alicorn, completely oblivious to the lethal amount of magic gathered in Midnight's horn, "I was there when you and your mom were banished! Don't you remember?"

"How could you have been there? That was over a thousand years ago. The only ponies that were there were -" midnight was cut off by Pinkie talking.

"Celestia, you, Luna, Starswirl the Bearded, Shattered Silence, and Pinkamena. Have I really changed that much, that you don't even recognize me?" Pinkie put on a pouty face that quickly turned into a smile, "OH! Maybe this will help!"

Pinkie deflated her hair, her smile becoming a very serious face. Wings sprouted out of her back, completing her transformation into herself from 1000 years ago.

A flash of recognition flared in Midnight's eyes, to be quickly replaced by anger, "YOU! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?! NOPONY BESIDES AN ALICORN CAN LIVE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE! WHAT DARK MAGIC IS THIS?!"

"Wow," Pinkie said, rubbing her ear with her hoof, "you are definitely Luna's daughter."

"Don't change the subject," Midnight hissed, "What magic is this, to keep you alive for over 1000 years?"

"I think I might be able to explain it better than Pinkie," a voice from behind Midnight said.

Midnight whirled around, to be greeted by the sight of a purple Alicorn charging a huge amount of magic in her horn without any sign of strain or concentration.

"Twilight, play nice," Pinkie said, "Midnight only just got back, and she doesn't fully understand what's happened yet."

"Very well," Twilight said as she released the magic in her horn, before turning to Pinkie, "But later, you are going to tell me how you know this Alicorn, especially since she just came from another planet."

"You forget, Twilight. I'm almost as old as Celestia! I know a lot more than you think!" Pinkie laughed, her mane back to it's normal poofy self.

"DON'T TALK ABOUT ME LIKE I'M NOT HERE!" Midnight yelled, stomping her hoof in anger, "I DID NOT CHOOSE TO COME HERE, NOR DO I WANT TO BE HERE! MY PEOPLE NEED ME!"

"People?" Twilight perked up, "What kind of people do you rule?"

"The usual," Midnight said, nonchalantly waving her hoof, "Ponies, Gryphons, Dragons, and the other races."

"Other races? There are races on your world that aren't native to Equestria?" Twilight asked.

Midnight laughed, "Of course not. All races on Equus Prime were brought there from here. I could show you the darkest places in this world, the most twisted creatures you don't even see in Nightmares," Midnight's eyes started glowing with a red light and a red aura began to surround her as she broke into uncontrollable giggles.

Calmly, Twilight hit her with a sleep spell, ceasing her giggling and banishing the red aura.

Turning to Pinkie again, she spoke, "I heard you say that she was Luna's daughter, but that magical wavelength just now was more like Nightmare Moon's. Just what happened a thousand years ago? Tell me everything."

Taking a deep breadth, Pinkie began.
