The Crystal Empire, a shining utopia, and home of the Crystal Ponies! I know what you're asking, 'Nathan, what makes the crystal ponies different from regular earth ponies?' Well I'll tell you if you'd just sit down and shut-up! You see, the more a crystal pony feels happiness, they then glow for a brief second, making them look much better than before, and well, good thing they have a loving leader right? Correct! Seriously, I'd be disappointed if you just skipped Season 3 altogether because of what people told you, making you unable to understand what happened in between. Anyways, Princess Cadence, ruler of Crystal Empire, and princess of love, the I guess cupid of MLP & her husband Prince Shining Armor were just leaving their castle for a picnic.

"Skyla, come-on sweetie, we're at the front doors already." Cadence called.

"Hold on mommy & daddy, I'm coming!" Said a pink unicorn filly, who was rushing towards them. "I just had to hoof bump all of the guards."

"Have a fine picnic little one!" Flash Sentry said.

"We will!" Said Nanako, I-I mean Skyla.

Then Yu Narukami enters my house.

"Did somebody say Nanako was here?'

"No! Go back to stopping the midnight stage!"

After Yu left from his brief cameo, we find ourselves at the crystal park, where the grass is always a glistening green. Cadence then began setting-up the picnic.

"Hey Skyla, while mom's setting up, wanna throw around the Frisbee?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Please daddy!" She said while bouncing.

"(So cute, hopefully Pinkie Pie wont mentor her in the ways of spontaneous energetic movement.)" They both thought.

So Shining & Skyla threw the frisbee back and forth for a few seconds.

"The blanket's ready." Candence called out.

"Yay! Yummy food!" Skyla chirped as she bounced to the picnic table. "I want a steamed carrot!"

"Ha, ha, slow down, here sweetie." Cadnece said while handing her a plate with a steamed carrot. "And, as a bonus." She gave Skyla an added corn on the cob.

"YAY! You 2 are the best!"

As the family was happily eating their food, a light began glistening!

"Huh?" Said Shining Armor.

"What the?" Said Cadence.

"Whoa!" Gasped Skyla

A huge white orb glistened in front of them, they had to shield there eyes from the intense light, Shining grabbed Skyla and put her behind him as he & Cadence readied themselves for what was coming! That's when red & pink hearts began being absorbed into the orb!

"What is that?" Asked Shining Armor.

"It's love! Love is being absorbed into whatever that thing is!"

"Could it be a changeling dear?"

"Maybe a new species of cherub!"

"How dare you speak that way in front of your mother Cadence!" Said the orb.

"What?!"

*Flash!*

After the light died down, they were all met with an elegant tall unicorn. Her coat was a cream color, her pink mane went to the color of night at the ends, her yellow eyes had blue eyes shadow as she smiled at Cadence. Her cutiemark was a snowflake, her body was adorned with many pieces of blue jewelry with yellow hearts on each piece of jewelry. Cadence's jaw dropped!

"Mo...mother?"

"What?!" Gasped Shining Armor & Skyla.

Cadence ran to the unnamed mare and hugged her! Hugged her tight!

"Huh, well Skyla, say hello to your grandma."

"M-mom!" Cadence said while all choked-up! She was so happy as tears rushed down her face. "I-I thought Sombra killed you!"

"Shh, shh, it's alright Cadence, it's alright...mother is here, and nothing is gonna...wait, why do you have wings?" Then she looked at Shining Armor & Skyla.

"Also, who are those 2?"

"It's a long story."

"Well, I'll gladly hear it."

Meanwhile...

"Nerzo Sir! The 200th girl has appeared! What are your orders?" Asked a lowly grunt. "Hey! I'm not a lowly grunt! I'm Garble!

Yeah, whatever, anyways, here's Nerzo's reaction: "What a stupid question! We take the many red horns we've recovered from the many worlds we've traveled to and use them to revive King Sombra! With his power, we can stop Spike, for the good of Equestria!"

"Of course! Everyone, begin the revival of King Sombra now!" The minion called out.

"Right!" The others responded.

"Now, I'll just be heading back to my posi..." He was stopped by Nerzo standing in front of him.

"No....no...."

"*gulp!*"

*Chomp!*

Nerzo ate his minion! Then n another room, Dr. Ivorobotnik AKA Eggman, was hard at work!

"Hmm...yes! This should do it! Alright...Bokkun! Orbot! Flip the switch!"

Then they flipped the switch! Electricity flowed all over the pile of red & black horns which had the alicorn amulet laying in the middle! Then dark mist began appearing!

"Grrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!" The black unicorn king known as Sombra had arisen and his powerful aura sent Eggman & his robots back! Well except for Metal Sonic!

"Yes! It worked Eggman!" Said Grounder

"Of course it worked! I am the greatest mind in the wor..." That's when King Sombra blasted Eggman & his robots to pieces!

"Sir! King Sombra is free!"

"Hexo! Thorn! Capture him!"

Then the warlock known as Hexo & the masked dragon known as Thorn went to work with apprehending the monster by casing him within a magic bubble!

"Gragh! Let me out! That dragon & princess are gonna pay!"

"Easy, you'll get your revenge soon enough!" Thorn assured him.

Meanwhile...

"And that's the end."

"Sombra's gone, my daughter got adopted by Celestia as her niece, ascended to alicorn princess, and finally got married, took back the Crystal Empire, then had a child. Great work little one!"

"Thank you mother."

Then Princess Amore turned her attention to Shining Armor & Skyla.

"I hope to get to know you 2."

"Yay! I have a young Grandma!"

"I hope to know my own mother-in-law beyond the stories Cadence told me of you!"

"Thanks, now...why is there a statue of a dragon in this city?"

Author's Notes:

Yes, yes, yes I know, Amore's a distant relative of Cadence, but I prefer having her as Cadence's mom! At least putting in Best Filly: Princess Skyla was worth it!
