My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Invader Zim Song Parodies!
Chapter 12: 12. Lullaby for a Princess
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can we have sent you away?" Red sang as he and Purple stared at the night sky, where Zee was imprisoned on the moon.
"The blame was our own; the punishment yours
The harmony's silent today," Purple continued, bowing his head so the purple mane covered his face.
"But into the stillness we'll bring you a song
And we will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and our lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep," they sang together, raising the sun slowly with their newly healed horns.
"Once did two ponies who shone like the sun
Look out on their kingdom and sigh,
They smiled and said, 'Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I.'" Red sang, remembering their reign. They had always been the center of attention, and all the ponies adored them.
"So great was their reign and so brilliant their glory
That long was the shadow they cast
Which fell dark upon the young filly they loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed" Purple sang, a tear falling from his violet eye as he remembered Zee becoming more and more distant with them, as they were becoming more rude and selfish, ignoring her pleads.
"Lullaby moon princess, goodnight small niece mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace," Red said, brushing a tear from his own ruby eye.
"Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space," Purple said with a sigh.
"Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind,
Sweet Zee, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind," Red sang, watching the moon's descent.
"Soon did those ponies took notice that others
Did not give their niece their due
And neither had they loved her as she deserved
They watched as their princess's unhappiness grew," Purple sang softly. He remembered her anger, and the terror she caused when she had had enough. The tears in her angry eyes as she called the fearsome winds
"But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And those foolish ponies did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed them most," Red sang, remembering that she had fallen into the arms of Zim, the sadistic Pegasus that had expressed a desire to rule with her. How desperate she was for love that she trusted him. Together they searched for the Princes, determined to end them.
"Lullaby moon princess goodnight small niece mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space" They sang together, watching her shadow in the great moon, remembering what they had lost.
On the ground down below, a pale and freckled F-Zin dragged a terrified Dipper across the grounds. She stopped to wave at the Princes but they ignored her. She looked back at Dipper, who was trying to escape. She ran after him, screaming about his betrayal. They vanished behind the castle walls.
"Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Sweet Zee, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
Forgive us for being so blind," they turned back to return to their castle, flying to their highest chamber to watch the moon disappear. They remembered finding a potion for their horns, healing them before Zee and Zim arrived. When the two of them found the Princes, they attacked mercilessly. Even during the fight they could see the misery in Zee's bright eyes. It was with great sorrow that they sent her away, the small girl they drove to insanity. The insane Pegasus was turned to stone, and he sat in the royal garden, the look of hatred still on his evil face.
"The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own," Red whispered, as the sun filled the earth with brightness. Purple rested a hoof on his shoulder and smiled sadly.
"May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away," Purple sang, guiding Red back inside. Together they wept for their lost girl, as the ponies of Equestria came out to play, basking in the warm sun.
"May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when we dream, we'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep..." Zee stared at the bright world she once called her home, hated her Uncles for her punishment. But there was no one to hear her fuming, so a silent tear fell down her cheek as she fell into a restless sleep.
