Episode 11 - Part 6

Chapter 6-Welcome Home

Doctor: Now get out!

“How do I look, Twi?”, I asked the purple unicorn.

Doctor: Lavender, not purple.

“Is it too tight, or do I look stupid?

Ditzy: (Star) Does it make my plot look fat?

Maybe we need another....”

“Starlight! Relax!” Twilight said. “Rarity made this for you, of course you look alright!”

Doctor: (Twilight) On the other hoof, she did say she can’t work miracles.

“Sorry Twi.” I said, relaxing. “It's not everyday that you're being crowned to be a prince.”

Ditzy: Something I’m sure Twilight will never experience.

Twilight stopped pacing around me and looked me in the eye. “You look great, Star.

Doctor: You look great in your completely unexplained outfit.

Now were you going to fly to the castle?”

Suddenly the door burst open,

Doctor: (Twilight) It’s a raid!

Ditzy: (Star) Hide the drugs!

“Nope! He's going with me!” Rainbow walked in the room. “You ready, Prince?”

Ditzy: (Rainbow) Ready, to lose.

I tapped her on the wing. “Don't call me that. It's bad enough that everypony's gonna be calling me that soon enough.”

Doctor: Poor kid has no idea what he is getting in to.

Rainbow laughed and walked out, hitting me in the face with her wing, “Hurry up! I'm ready to go!”

Twilight laughed. “You two are so cute together.” She laughed again when I narrowed my eyes.

Doctor: (Star) Rainbow Dash and I are in a very platonic relationship thank you very much.

“OK, we'll see you two at the castle.” I hugged her and went outside. I extended my wings and flew off after Rainbow.

As the two of us flew though the sky on our way to Canterlot,

Ditzy: Why can’t you just take the train? It’s less exhausting.

Rainbow noticed that I wasn't looking at her. “Hey, what's wrong Prince?”

Doctor: (Rainbow) You aren’t staring at my rear as much as usual. Are you alright?

I swiped by her, “I said don't say that.”

Rainbow laughed, “Awww are we a little nervous?” She flew by me and pushed me into a cloud. She then took off, saying, “Bet you can't catch me!”

Ditzy: There goes… whatever he’s wearing.

“Oh yeah?,” I said, shaking off cloud. I then yelled “Rainbow!” and my clothes transformed.

Doctor: That is just cheating.

My shirt was cyan, like Rainbow's body and my pants were rainbow colored.

Doctor: Shirt, pants, that is all we ever know of what he’s wearing.

In a burst of color, I took off after Rainbow. But as I flew, I looked up....and barely dodged a bolt of dark magic. “Aw come on! Today?!”

Ditzy: The forces of evil are so rude and inconsiderate.

Nightmare Moon was flying after me, constantly shooting magic. I twisted and turned so she was missing horribly. One blast missed and blew up a cloud up by Rainbow. She turned around and saw what was happening. “No! Keep going!” I yelled to her.

Doctor: (Star) Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!

...as I got hit in the chest. Stunned, I started to fall out of the air.

Up above me, Rainbow rushed in and kicked Nightmare in the face.

Ditzy: Sweet.

They started fighting as I grabbed a cloud and swung myself back up. I rainbow dashed next to Nightmare, summoned Stormtide and proceeded to slam it into Nightmare's side. She roared and proceeded to buck me into another cloud.

Ditzy: For a guy that has all these superpowers, he sure gets his butt kicked all the time.

I heard Rainbow and Nightmare fighting as I fell though the cloud. Then I had an idea. I flew back up and yelled, “Pinkie!” My clothes switched from cyan to pink, but my pants were a darker pink.  

Doctor: (Star) Audience, stop laughing!

I flew around them and landed behind another cloud. I yelled to Rainbow, “Rainbow! Drop!”.

Immediately, she folded in her wings and fell. I kicked the cloud so it covered Nightmare's body. “What is this?”, she hissed, trying to get out.

All: ...It’s a cloud.

“Happy reeeeeeeeeeeallly late birthday!” I yelled.

All: (Groans)

Doctor: You should leave the one liners to the professionals.

I then created a firework that wrapped around my arm. I lit the fuse and the firework shot at Nightmare's cloud.

Ditzy: (Star) Taking me with it, killing us both. The End.

I folded in my wings and dropped also. Catching up to Rainbow, I switched back to her cutie mark. She said, “That's flattering, but I still look better.”

Doctor: (Rainbow) You pretty in pink by the way.

I rolled my eyes, grabbed her and using all my power, created a sonic rainboom.

Doctor: ...Fine, I’ll allow it. You do have Rainbow Dash’s powers.

Ditzy: Star is such a ridiculous Mary Sue, it hardly matters at this point.

The force of it shot us both flying in the direction of the castle. I looked behind us and saw the most beautiful fireworks. “You really should have saved that for AFTER you're crowned prince.” Rainbow said.

Ditzy: (Rainbow) Best coordination ever!

“Don't make me drop you.” I said. Rainbow just laughed as we sped on.

As we came closer to the castle I realized something. “Hey Rainbow? I don't really know how to stop.”

Ditzy: (Raindow) Just crash into something. It’ll be fine. I do it all the time!

“Well we could always go though a window.” Rainbow said.

Doctor: Sure, and get cut by hundreds of pieces of glass.

I focused on the window that was closest to the throne room and twisted us around so that I was the one that smashed though the window.

Doctor: Hey! That was a priceless piece of art that’s hundreds of years old!

Everypony in the room looked up as we hit the ground.

Ditzy: (Star) We landed in a funny and awkward  pose.

I looked up at my sisters. “Sorry about that. We decided to take the senic route.”

Doctor: Funny.

Besides that, the ceremony went off without a hitch. I don't want to bore you with all the details,

Ditzy: Good. These ceremonies take forever!

but I should tell you about the last part of it....

Doctor: Fluttershy got drunk and caused a commotion.

Celestia had explained why I looked like a human and walked over to me. “Starlight.” She choked on emotion for a second, but was quick to compose herself. “I have waited a long time to ask you this.

Ditzy: One thousand years….I think.

Do you accept the duties and responsibility of being the prince of Equestria? And do you always promise to protect Equestria and all of the ponies with your life?”

Doctor: (Star) What!? No! You never said anything about giving my life!

I looked around the room. All of the ponies from Ponyville, Cloudsdale and even Canterlot were here.

Ditzy: Like...all of them? It must make things really crowded.

Doctor: Would it kill the author to elaborate even a little bit on the details of his story?

There were even ponies from other places in Equestria. And as I looked back at my sisters I realized that....this was my life now.

Doctor: (Star) Goodbye anything possibly resembling a normal life.

And I wouldn't change it for anything.

Doctor: (Star) Except for the dead family thing of course.

“Yes, Celestia.” I said. “Yes, I do.”

Suddenly my right hand started to glow. “Ahhh!” I yelped because it started to BURN. I saw that Celestia's and Luna's horns were glowing.

Ditzy: (Gasps) How could you?

I held my hand out and the two princesses zapped it with their horns. Then the pain stopped and my hand stopped glowing.

Doctor: (Star) Gah! You could have warned me first!

Everypony in the room gasped as I looked at my hand.

Doctor: It was missing.

There was the most beautiful cutie mark I had ever seen.

Doctor: (Star) Twilight Sparkle’s face?

Ditzy: (Star) A striper pole?

In the middle of the back of my hand, there was a star and beams of light were coming off of it. Slightly above the star was a sun and slightly under it was a moon. The beams of light from all three wrapped down my arm and stopped where my elbow was.

I said in amazement, “I just Cutie Stamped you two.”

Ditzy: That hand is going to get really crowded when he starts making more friends.

As I looked up Luna was standing by a pedestal and was motioning me to come over there, so  I did.

Ditzy: (Luna) Thee shall stand over all other OC characters!

I looked down and saw that it was a place that looked like a sword was supposed to fit, like those old stories about Arthur back on Earth. Luna said, “Place your sword in here, Starlight. Your sword is your scepter.”

I summoned Stormtide and slammed it into the hole.

Ditzy: Breaking it. Oops.

Then the sword started to glow. A amazing flash of light covered it and when it stopped, I pulled the sword out. The blade of the sword was colored light blue with a darker blue covering it. The hilt was golden and when I looked carefully I saw the cutie marks of the Mane 6 around it.

Ditzy: Shouldn’t it have his own cutie mark instead?

Doctor: Once again showing that Starlight is nothing without Twilight and her friends.

“That is the true Blade of Equestria, Starlight.” Luna told me. “Use it with care and pride.” I nodded to her.

Ditzy: We are so screwed.

Doctor: A tyrant in the making.

Celestia walked over and gently set a crown on my head.

Doctor: It was a Wacky Hut cardboard crown.

She then turned back to the room of ponies. “Ponies of Equestria! All hail Starlight, Prince of Equestria and welder of the Blade of Equestria!” At that moment, every pony in the room bowed down to me. It made me realize that I really was home, and they were welcoming me.

Doctor: No doubt many of them are planning ways to use and manipulate you to get what they want.

I was finally home, for good.

Ditzy: My friends, family, and life at my other home? Pfft. Whatever.

The End

Doctor: Do you also get the feeling this was written by an actual 13 year old?

Ditzy: That makes so much sense! ...Now I feel bad for making fun of it. I wasn’t exactly the best writer back then either.

Doctor: I would like to think most 13 year olds would know better.
