What the Future Brings

This is a sort of sequel to the Wedding of Twilight Sparkle and Spike, the future takes place after the ending of that oneshot. I hope you like it and special props to Inferno Demon Dash for proofreading!

It was a sunny day in Canterlot, the Capital City of the land of Equestria. In the city’s palace which was Canterlot Castle, six colorful mares and one purple male dragon was wandering about.

They were in Canterlot on vacation and Princess Celestia had let them stay in Canterlot Castle, due to all the times that they had saved all of Equestria.

“Phew, that was a weird week” the purple furred colored unicorn Twilight Sparkle with her bright, cheerful purple eyes and black colored mane and tail that had a single streak of pink from top to bottom, she laughed a bit nervously as she referred to the previous week they had in Ponyville.

“It took mah forever to fix Sweet Apple Acres when those bears stormed it” growled the orange furred colored earthpony with a stetson hat that covered only the top of her head which was full of pure, golden blond hair and tail hat was tied in a red ribbon into a ponytail and beautiful, stunning green eyes…her name being Applejack.

“And we know who to thank for that” spoke the white furred colored with a curly purple mane and tail and having clear, soft blue colored eyes melodramatic unicorn known as Rarity who was glaring at the rainbow colored mane and tail Pegasus with her cyan colored body whose name was Rainbow Dash who had mischief red eyes and a hyperactive pink furred earthpony called Pinkie Pie with her warm, but unpredictable blue eyes.

“Hey it wasn’t our fault!” Dash retorted with a glare of her own to Rarity.

“Yeah how were we supposed to know bears don’t like birthday parties” asked Pinkie Pie with a slightly dark grin that none of the others notice before she looked around the castle, trying to not be noticed.

“It was my fault really,” a very quiet voice spoke, the owner being a nervous and shy yellow furred color Pegasus with her pink color mane and tail and her hopeful, frightened cyan colored eyes Fluttershy “if I didn’t tell you two it was Papa Bear’s birthday, none of it would have happened!”

“Girls please…let’s just forget about it” Twilight ordered lightly trying to stop any argument from breaking out.

They decided to go into the Starl the Bearded wing at the castle. “Remember this place Twilight?” asked Pinkie with a few bounces to her step as she walked causing Rainbow to roll her eyes in annoyance “We went into this place when you thought something bad would happened the next Tuesday.......”

“Please don’t remind me, Pinkie” asked Twilight annoyed and truly eager to forget all of the times when she overreacted.

They saw different papers and files were stacked over the place. “The wings are being cleaned up to tidy up the castle” explained Twilight “We must be careful here! So Pinkie, no bouncing….and Dash, no flying” she added as Rainbow Dash huffed before setting down onto the ground right after she had set flight not just a few minutes ago, as Pinkie with a sad groan ceased her light hopping then smiled happily at Rainbow Dash who could not help but give a small smile back.

They then began walking slowly through the wing looking around. Pinkie stopped as some of the dust from the old papers around them swept into the air with a breeze that ran through the castle and got into her nose.

“This dust is getting in my mane and I just brushed it today” complained Rarity for she was always concerned about her hair and appearance.

“Ahh....” started Pinkie, not able to control her nostrils or functions of her body.

“Pinkie, do what you can to hold it in please, I’m begging you!” whimpered Twilight looking at Pinkie who was near a stack of files but alas it was too late as....

“AHH CHOO!” sneezed Pinkie causing the stack to fall over.

“Nice job Pinkie!” shouted Rainbow Dash to the pink furred mare that flushed in embarrassment causing Twilight to sigh loudly.

“Don’t worry, I don’t need any help or anything” Twilight her horn glowing “I’ll clean it up!”

Twilight glared at the other female unicorn who could only smile sheepishly forcing Twilight to roll her eyes and begin using her magic to stack the papers up again. Pinkie noticed some papers landed on top of a high shelf.

“Don’t worry girls” Pinkie exclaimed cheerfully as she started to climb the wall to get towards them “I got this!”

“Pinkie darling be careful!” Rarity yelled at the mare who did not answer before Rarity began to use a spell from her horn to try and stabilize Pinkie preventing her from falling but it was too late as she fell down and landed on top of Rarity and Twilight as they screamed in pain.

From this distraction the magic in the two unicorns’ horns bounded on a certain scroll in the wing that flew down and touched their horns by accident on time travel as the Mane six and Spike were pulled and sucked through it.

Several decades into the future.

In Ponyville many decades from now the place had changed by little but many of the buildings and houses remained including the library itself.

Inside the library it was morning and inside the bed which used to belong to Twilight Sparkle, a creature was sleeping in it under the bed covers. An alarm clock then sounded off but from the covers out came a small scaly dragon’s tails which turned it off as the creature went back to bed.

Then came into the window right next to the bed was a larger purple scaly dragon’s tail. The tail was much larger than the whole bed. The tail then began shaking the creature inside the bed.

Then the creature groaned as it spoke “Alright dad, I’m up, I’m up already…jeez!” the animal was a male pony sized purple scaled creature which looked like a dragon with wings, purple eyes, a green mane, green scales on different patches like the spikes and chest, a purple horn and just like a pony he had a cutie mark which was a purple star in front of a flame of fire for his dragon skills and love for studying magic, a genetic trait passed down from his mother.

He got up and looked through the window and saw a giant purple scaled male dragon larger than the whole library and was standing on both of his rear legs.

“Just trying to make sure you don’t sleep the day away, Sparkfang, your mother would go insane if she knew that you slept so late, my boy” said the dragon with a large, playful grin.

“Alright then dad” Sparkfang replied glaring at his father before getting out his bed. He then looked at the library which looked as if a tornado had ran through the entire top and bottom level leaving a large mess with some books scattered on the floor as such, along with an entire mountain of books just about everywhere else.

He sighed and shook his head, this mess was the result of his mistake of entrusting his friends Dinky Pie and Firefly to look after the library while his dad and he went to Canterlot to visit his mother’s grave.

“That party they threw,” Sparkfang muttered remembering the wild party he came back to when he returned home before he breathed a small amount of green fire from his snout in anger “it’s really hard to have believed it was supposed to be a library in the first place!”

As he exited the library, ignoring his father who went to hunt for his food, which was a large amount of gems that the Sugercube Corner provided even to this day as bouncing up to him was a male earth pony with dark pink hair and blue eyes as he had a Cutie Mark that was a stage for his love of entertaining ponies.

“Hello Dinky Pie” said Sparkfang with a little bit of a glare.

“Still sore about the party aren’t yah Sparkfang oh chum of mine?” asked Dinky a little frightened by the glare.

“A little bit” retorted Sparkfang.

“Oh come on” whined Dinky “I did Pinkie promise never to throw a party at the library again and I did say I would pay for the damages done to the books and the building!”

“Let’s just forget about it!”  Sparkfang spoke with a light growl wanting to ease the headache trying to creep up into his brain. Then came flying down to them was a female Pegasus pony with pink fur, a dark blue mane, green eyes and a Cutie Mark which was two dark blue lightning bolts.

“Firefly?” asked Sparkfang slowly and with a hint of caution “Aren’t you supposed to be in Cloudsdale Prison?”

Firefly was a competitive flyer and named after her descendant Firefly who she resembled, the Firefly from before Equestria who was a part of the group of ponies who helped the human Megan stop the evil Tirek.

At the party Dinky had Firefly had drunk a little too much cider because of a dare and had been arrested with a FUI (Flying under Influence).

“They let me go after I paid the fine,” shouted Firefly dismissively “no biggie!”

“I think you should cut down on the cider, Fly.” whispered Sparkfang calmly feeling concerned as she rolled her eyes “All this recent drinking of yours could very well kill you or get you into serious trouble!”

“Big deal” Firefly snapped back in a not so bothered attitude that caused Dinky Pie to snort with a grin.

Before Sparkfang could argue even further they heard a loud noise sounding as if a hundred cruel, evil dragons had invaded Ponyvile which seemed to come from a field near where the entrance to Ponyville was.

“What was that?” asked Sparkfang a little frightened and worried, wondering if he should go search for his father.

“I don’t know!”  Firefly laughed with a grin before she looked at Dinky Pie “But whatever it is I’m going to check it out!”

Firefly then began flying towards the entrance of Ponyville with Sparkfang and Dinky having no other choice but to trail after her, Sparkfang not wanting to go towards the source unless they had an adult but always not wanting his friends to be injured or think of him as a coward if he did not travel with them.

In a field on the hill where the Ponyville entrance was, the Mane six and Spike landed hard onto the ground with a thud.

“Nice going Pinkie!” Dash shouted with a grit of her teeth, clearly very annoyed.

“We’ve been sent back home!” Rarity gasped in surprise and relief seeing the “Welcome to Ponyville” sign before them.

Fluttershy looked over the entrance sign and hide behind her mane as if it was a shield said with an indication of fear in her tone “Uh girls…I don’t think this is the Ponyville that we know!”

To see what she meant they looked around the land before them with shock and a hint of horror as Spike spotted three of the creatures that came near them, the animals looked a little familiar but they didn’t recognize the two ponies, one being a male earth pony and the other a female Pegasus but the third creature was one that none of the seven knew of.

“I don’t know any of these animals,” whispered a very confused Pinkie Pie “and I know everypony in Ponyville!”

"Just what is going on?” asked Twilight pondering as to what had happened to her friends and herself.
