A/N: Before you start reading this, imagine how you would look like as a pony, it doesn’t matter which gender, only it has to be a unicorn. Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the third, lonely, dark night since the return of Nightmare moon. Even the sacred Elements of Harmony couldn’t stop her this time. Pale, cream lightning crackled across the sky, thunder boomed and echoed down. You even thought you heard Princess Luna -er- Nightmare moon, call across the land,
“Stay indoors Twilight Sparkle, you won’t know what hit you! Muhahahaha!” You stir your green pea soup, it was the only source of food left.
You live in a isolated area, by yourself, cut off from civilisation. Your house was made from mud bricks and palm leaves for the roof. In the inside there was only 2 rooms, the main room and your bedroom. You bed was made from wood, and had a old tattered blanket. You even couldn’t be bothered to clear the small and winding path to your house from the nearest village or town, because no-pony would even bother coming out here. That’s why it startled you when you heard somepony knock, more or less bash, loudly on the door. You turn your head back around and give your soup another stir, then you away from the kitchen, towards the door. There wasn’t any point because the door flung open with a burst of pink magic aura. There stood a purple unicorn, her mane was wet and some wet blood was dripping off of it. She was also carrying a little bundle in a basket on her back.
“Here, take this,” She looked like she was going to hand me something. “It is Equestria’s only hope. It will help you find the others,”
“What others?”
“The other Elements of Harmony,” That’s when it hit you, this pony was no other than Twilight Sparkle. Princess Celestia’s faithful student, bearer of the Element of Magic.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Find them, help them, tell them everything. This is Equestria’s last hope. The other girls, they, they will help you,” Twilight’s voice became scratchy and weak. “Leave me here in peace, where no-pony will find me,” You nodded as her face became pale, she was losing blood. You brought her inside just as her legs gave in, so you lay her down on the floor. You grab your shovel and go outside, where the storm started to fade. Once you finish her grave, you quickly make a stone note.
“What do you want on it?” You ask her, a tear sliding down your cheek.
“Please, write this. If I don’t make it in time, use this note.” She lifted a piece of paper out of the bundle.
“Here lies Twilight Sparkle,
The Element of Magic,
She lost the ones she loved,” She choked on her last words, tears streaming down her face.
“And Equestria lost her.
Rest in Peace-” Her face fell to the ground, the tears slowed down, but didn’t stop, as she finished off her message. You slowly lifted her off the ground and brought her outside. You remember the bundle and take it off her, then you lower her into the ground. You give a funeral to yourself, crying. Even though you never had met Twilight, losing one of the most important ponies in Equestria at the moment. Especially in your own home.
Once you finished burying Twilight Sparkle, you unwrap the bundle.
It was a foal. You wonder why Twilight Sparkle, of all ponies, has given you a foal. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? You ask yourself. It was a filly, she looked around 12 years old. She had a bright orange coat, while her clashing, while fitting, mane was messy and bright purple. She was also a pegasus, without a cutie mark. You give her a soft, loving nudge, and whisper;
“Hello?”
“UGHH!!” She moaned, pushing you away from her.
“Wake up,” You give the filly another nudge.
“Fine Twilight,” She moaned sleepily.
“Twilight? I’m not Twilight.” You say nervously, “Twilight, um, I don’t know how to put this, she’s not here,” She sat up straight and looked at you with her bright purple eyes.
“WHAT?”
“She,” You sigh. “Passed away, last night...” You whisper.
“Where is she?”
“Outside,” The filly ran outside, and you heard her shouting and crying;
“NO! TWILIGHT! NO!” You trot outside into the dark and see the filly depressed, lying on the floor, sobbing great big sobs.
“May I ask your name?”
“I’m *sniff* Scootaloo,”
“Well, Scootaloo, Twilight, she um, told me that you were Equestria’s last hope. Something like that,” You look up to the sky, this isn’t what you would usually tell a filly once they found out that one of their loved ones just passed away.
“She said something about that..” Scootaloo slowly looked at the ground, towards the cold stone grave. A tear formed in her eye, she wiped it off and whispered to herself, “Don’t cry, they didn’t cry, especially Rainbow Dash..” Even though she tried her hardest not to, tears kept flowing down her face. You walk up and wrap your arm around her. You stand there and look down.
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” You whisper over and over.
“NO!” Scootaloo suddenly yells. “THIS ISN’T OKAY! TWILIGHT JUST DIED, EQUESTRIA’S LAST HOPE! IT’S NOT LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING! I’M JUST A SILLY OLD FILLY WHO CAN’T EVEN FLY AND HAS A GREAT BIG DREAM TO BE LIKE RAINBOW DASH! OR JUST LOST HER ONLY FRIENDS! THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY!” She pants for a few seconds while you just take a step back from the agitated filly.
“Scootaloo, listen to me-”
“WHY? ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY? ‘CAUSE IT’S NOT! IT’S JUST GOING TO STAY DARK FOREVER! WHY? BECAUSE WE JUST LOST THE ONLY PONY FIT FOR THE POSITION OF ELEMENT OF MAGIC? WHY DON’T YOU GET IT?”
“You are none of that. That will be solved. Twilight Sparkle told me so, she told me that you were Equestria’s last hope. She believed in you! You are nothing but a silly filly,” Scootaloo calmed down a bit and looked up at you.
“Really? Did she say that about me?”
“Really.” You say affirmatively. Scootaloo started to cry again. You didn’t know that a filly could cry that much. You put your hoof around the filly one more time and both of you looked down at the grave. “Scootaloo, this is only the beginning,” You give her a squeeze and she squeaked.
“You better not do that on the way!”
“Oh no, I will,” Scootaloo gave you a look.
“You wanna play that game?” She pounced on top of you and you started laughing like a little filly/colt.
“STOP! STOP!” You cry while Scootaloo was tickling you.
This was going to be a long journey.

A/N; Was it okay? I am looking for some editors, cause I didn’t want to load my old one with tons of work. (Sorry Neo!) Anyway. Hopefully this is an okay chapter. I will probably make some longer chapters, but I didn’t think that this chapter needed any more story.
THANKS!
NEW AND IMPROVED: Chapter 1, a visit
It was the third, lonely, dark night since the return of Nightmare moon. Even the sacred Elements of Harmony, or Princess Celestia couldn’t stop her this time. Pale, cream lightning crackled across the sky, thunder boomed and echoed down. A lonely, green unicorn sits in her house, writing in her diary. She turns her head around as she hears crackled laughter coming from Canterlot castle.

Dear Diary,
It’s me again, Lyria Heartstrings, daughter of the famous Lyra Heartstrings, well, who else could it be? No pony is here. It’s the third, lonely night since Nightmare Moon returned. I don’t know why I didn’t run away like the rest of the town folk, I mean, everypony else did. We are the closest village from Canterlot Castle, having the most threat of being attacked by her.
I guess I’ll live my life lonely, not that it bothers me, no pony ever appreciated me, not even my parents. They were always busy with concerts. Mum and Dad met each other at one of their concert, he was her conductor and they hooked up. It’s sad, I know, but don’t grief for me. But I guess you can’t do that, since you’re only a book. No pony ever appreciated my talents, no pony, no pony will ever either. I wonder when SHE will arrive here, there’s not much time, I -

Sorry, I got cut off. Somepony was screaming outside. I jumped out and pulled her back home, covering her mouth from her high-pitched screaming. It was a small orange filly, who right now is lying in front of me, sleeping. She has a ruffled purple mane and the most beautiful purple eyes. When I pulled her inside, they were full of terror and pain. She hasn’t got her cutie mark yet, that is very obvious. She is waking up now, I’m gonna talk to her.
-Lyria
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scootaloo woke up from her nightmare. She dreamt that she was in a deserted place, and somepony pulled her inside their house. Probably to kidnap her. She turned around to reach for her alarm clock, but felt nothing. She wasn’t in her fluffy cloud bed, she wasn’t in her room or near there at all.
“Good afternoon,” A voice said to her. Scootaloo swiveled around and looked up at the mare.
“Are you Lyra?” She asked the stranger.
“Nope, I’m Lyria!” Scootaloo looked up at her with a confused look on her face. “I’m Lyra’s daughter,” Scootaloo’s mouth turned into a little ‘o’ shape. Lyria smirked at the little filly. “so, what’s your name? Do you know why you’re here?”
“I’m Scootaloo, and I’m here because-” Scootaloo thought hard about why she was here. “Oh yeah, it’s because Twilight Sparkle was testing a spell she could eventually use on herself to teleport away from Nightmare Moon, because SHE is trying to attack her,” She said in a ‘matter-of-factly’ voice. Her eyes suddenly flew open. “OMG! Now I remember, she was testing me, but only trying for across the library, when the door flew open and SHE was there!”
“She?”
“NIGHTMARE MOON YOU IDIOT!” Now it was Lyria’s turn to ‘oh’ at Scootaloo.
“Aww.. You ruined the plot Scootaloo!” Pinkie poked her face through the door.
“Pinkie Pie, what are you doing?”
“Nothing much, only telling all the viewers that you already ruined the plot line!”
“Are you breaking the fourth wall while telling me this?”
“Yup, I sure am!”
“Pinkie! We told you not to!”
“Okie Dokie Lokie, buh-bye!” Pinkie Pie waved to Scootaloo and popped her head back outside.
“What was that all about?” Lyria asked Scootaloo.
“Nothing much...”
“That wasn’t ‘nothing much’,”
“Something normal back in Ponyville,”
“I don’t even know what to say.”
