Hi everypony! If you're still reading, good for you! XD Before I start this chapter, I just want you guys to know Fist of Enmity has written basically a fanfiction of this story. It can be viewed here: s/10854691/1/Four-Echo-Niner So far only one person is reading and reviewing the story (me) and I think it deserves more. So head on over there! :D Anyway, let's get started!

The huge supernova I had created dispelled Sombra's stolen magic all across Equestria, healing the ponies he had hurt, and more importantly, returning the magic in my necklace to its rightful owners the princesses. But Twilight told me not all my magic was gone. "The spell that revealed Armonia gave you your magic," she told me. "That necklace keeps your magic near you."

"I'll never take it off," I promised her.

I spent the next few days in Twilight's library reading books about Equestria and planning for what the ponies were calling the biggest event since Twilight's coronation.

Apparently, it was going to be MY coronation.

I had protested rather strongly when I learned this, but Celestia told me that my transformation had made me a princess. The ponies would want to see the fulfillment of the famous "Armonia Prophecy" get the honor she was due. The Mane Six agreed.

Twilight was helping me prepare myself for the experience. But I must admit, there were times when she wasn't all that helpful. Every evening for almost an hour, she would leave me to my books and disappear into Ponyville somewhere. She would never tell me where she'd been or what she'd been doing; she would just wink and tell me to keep reading.

One night as she was sneaking out of the library again, I used my magic (coming from my hand in my anthro form) to hold her by the tail. "Not so fast! My coronation is tomorrow and the dress Rarity promised is nowhere near completed!"

Twilight giggled. "Actually…well, just come with me."

"Finally! Are you going to tell me where you've been all these nights?"

"I'll do better than that!" she promised.

She led me across town in the fading sunlight to Rarity's boutique. Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity all stood outside, waiting for us, giggling and shifting their hooves in excitement.

"Is she ready?" Fluttershy asked Twilight.

"Oh! Oh! Can we have a party now?" Pinkie's party cannon materialized beside her (I still don't know how an earth pony does that!) and suddenly confetti was everywhere.

"Now, now, Pinkie Pie," Rarity scolded in a graceful demeanor, "one should always conduct herself in a polite and elite manner when around a princess."

"Sorry!" Pinkie squeaked as all the confetti was sucked back into the cannon like a vacuum.

I couldn't help chuckling. "Girls, you know I'm not officially a princess until tomorrow.'

"The crown may not be on your head yet, but you're a princess for sure, sugar cube," Applejack insisted.

"Pointless arguments aside, step into my boutique, if you please," Rarity told me politely.

My eyes lit up with happiness. "Is my dress ready now?"

"Oh, better than that!" Rarity exclaimed excitedly. She opened the door for me and whipped the cover off one of her mannequins. "Behold—the coronation dress of Armonia!"

How can I even begin to describe her creation? I have no idea, but I'll do the best I can.

It had been tailored to fit an alicorn slightly larger than Celestia—in other words, the size of my alicorn body. The bodice and skirt had been patterned after the Pony Renaissance (which was actually similar to ours) and the style was great. A conveniently placed slit in the back exposed what would have been the shoulder blades on a human, allowing for my wings to spread. But the color took my breath away.

It wasn't any one color. It was six—pink, blue, red, orange, purple, lavender. Each Element of Harmony was represented in the dress. But it wasn't divided into sections of different colors. The fabric itself shimmered with these colors in a magical, almost metallic, fashion. And as a breeze rustled the gown, the colors shimmered and shifted. Every time I moved, I realized, the dress would gleam a different Elemental color in a different place.

"Do you like it, princess?" Rarity asked rather nervously.

"Like it? Rarity, it's incredible!" I felt the shining fabric in my trembling hands.

"Oh! Oh! Try it on! Try it on! TRY IT ON!" Pinkie squeaked while jumping so high she almost hit the ceiling.

I bent forward and reached my arms for the floor. Using the magic to transform back into an alicorn, I used my magic to remove the dress from the mannequin. "Would somepony give me a hoof getting this on?"

Rarity and Twilight helped me into the gown and carefully did up the buttons in the back. As Twilight fetched a mirror, I looked at my reflection in wonder and awe. I looked just like an alicorn princess!

"Those nights when I sneaked out, I was helping Rarity make this!" Twilight exclaimed excitedly.

"And she put some of her magic into it, too!" Rarity added. "When you transform, the dress transforms with you, darling! Try it!"

I stomped my front hooves and raised myself slightly to turn back into my anthro form. To my amazement, the dress did indeed change with me to fit my new body without losing any of the style or color!

"Girls, I don't know what to say!" I cried in joy. "Now if only my sister could see me—" I stopped midsentence.

"What's wrong, sugar cube?" Applejack asked in concern.

I saw down and sighed. "My sister. Savannah. She must be terrified right now. The way I just disappeared like that, with no explanation and no leads on where to find me."

Twilight looked sad. "I forgot you'd told me about her."

"Is there any way I could get a message to her, or talk to her, anything, so she won't worry?" I questioned.

"You are talking about sending a message between two worlds that are only connected by a magical portal, you know," Rarity reminded me.

"Wait! What about that book, Twilight?" Pinkie Pie started bouncing around eagerly again. "The one that magically sends a message to Sunset Shimmer in the human world whenever you write in it?"

"Would it work?" I asked Twilight.

She thought for a minute. "It might. We'd have to give Sunset Shimmer your sister's address so she could find her."

"I'd be willing to do that! I've just got to let my sister know not to be afraid!" Suddenly I got an idea. "You know what? I'll wait and do it after my coronation tomorrow."

"You seemed mighty anxious to do it just a minute ago," Applejack pointed out.

I couldn't help but grin. "Yeah. But I've got an idea on how to make my sister believe me."

What will Tara do/ Will her coronation go as planned? Does Derpy really have a daughter named Dinky? (Seriously, I wanna know. :P ) Thanks for reading! :D
