Chapter 3

Now everypony was getting ready to go to Canterlot for the upcoming wedding. Ash and Rainbow Dash were out practicing their sonic boom show. Rarity was sketching the bride's dress with the occasional faint from the excitement. Pinkie Pie was readying her party cannon. Fluttershy was gathering her song birds that will preform the ceremony music. Applejack was looking for her family's best recipes for the reception diner. Meanwhile Twilight was still think about Shining Armor.

'Ever since I came to Ponyville I been seeing less and less of him. And now we might never see each other'

Later that day the seven ponies and one baby dragon boarded the train heading to Canterlot. While the other girls talked on about their ideas for the wedding Spike stated describing his plans for the bachelor party for the groom.

"There will be disco balls and laser lights" Spike explained

Ash then notices Twilight all alone so he trots over and covers her eyes.

"Guess who?" Cooed Ash

"Ash I am not in the mood for one of your childish pranks" Twilight hissed

"Sorry but I can't stand it when you don't have that cute smile on" he teased

Blushing she turned to scold him but his face held a weak smile and gentle eyes causing her to blush harder

" It's not easy is it" he asked. She turned back to the window and sighs.

"Have you ever care for somepony that was special to you?" She asked Realizing what she said she quickly back track "sorry that came out wrong!"

"In fact I do" he said then the others started to come over

"What's the matter sugar cube?" Asked Applejack

"Need some candy" questioned Pinkie

Twilight shook her head no when Ash started to speak

"I'm going to tell you all the story of my first and always be my best friend before I came here" inquired Ash the girls all gathered round him to hear the tale.

"When I was ten years old I was training my aura with Lucario near a small river. While we were sparing the ground fell from beneath me and I fell into the river. Lucario tried to help me but the current was too strong and I went over a waterfall."

'Gasp' exclaimed the mares as Ash continued

"Further down the stream a young girl was out fishing when something snagged her line. Thinking it was a big catch she heaved with all of her strength and I popped out of the water. When I came around she was treating my wounds. She introduced herself as Misty Waterflower. We talked for a while until Lucario found me. Though we parted I had the feeling that I would see her again. And a few weeks later Misty and her family came to the castle for some food before heading south. I was happy to see her again and so was she. Late that night before she would leave forever we had to talk to each other one last time.

'Ash, thank you for all you have done for me and my family but you shouldn't have to.' She said

' But Misty!' I cried ' You are my first real friend I ever had and I'm going to miss you a lot' sadness swelling up in me but she pulled me into a forceful hug.

'And you are my very best friend Ash' she hummed tears slowly hitting our shoulders ' but even if we are apart I will always be with you, in here' she placed her hand on my heart. Then she kissed the top of my head and disappeared into the night. Ever since then we never heard or seen each other but I knew that we were apart our friendship would endure."

When Ash finished his story the young mares were crying or held tears in their eyes

"That was the most beautiful story Ash" cried Rarity as she and Fluttershy held each other

"That's true friendship right there" coughed Applejack, Pinkie Pie just smile at Ash

"It just a farewell, nothing to get sappy over" said Rainbow Dash but she did she'd a few tears.

Twilight went over to ash and said "That's what I fell like, does it hurt now being in Ponyville?" Ash smiled and hugged her "yea it hurts but Shining Armor loves you and will always make time for you"

Twilight was shocked by the sudden hug but felt better being in the colts arms.

"Thank you Ash" she said

"Anytime" he smiled

As the train reached Cantralot it had passed through a pink bubble of some kind.

"What was that?" asked Futtershy

Ash looked out to see numerous amounts of royal guards and soldiers.

'Something isn't right' he though
