A Sparkle's Little Dusk II:

The Shining Path


Prologue: The Royal Princess Summit


The Mane 6, Spike and Dusk arrived at the Crystal Empire. A lot of things have happened since the Canterlot Wedding. The Crystal Empire returned along with King Sombra, Discord has began reforming, the Crystal Empire got picked to host the Equestria Games, Trixie has been corrupted and saved from the Alicorn Amulet, and Twilight became Equestria's newest princess.

It's been three months after Twilight's coronation. The Mane 6, Spike and Dusk walked towards the Crystal Castle, now that his uncle and aunt are now leading. Twilight was invited there to her first Princess Summit. Dusk was walking along side Twilight and Spike.

"Hoo-wee! Your very first princess summit," Applejack announced. "You must be over the moon, Twilight."

"Oh, I am excited," Twilight said. "But, to be honest, I'm a little nervous, too."

"You're 'nervicited'!" said Pinkie Pie. "It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell '"YAY ME!!'" Pinkie jumped up when she shouted. But then she rolled up in a ball. "But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time!" She then rubbed Twilight's head. "We've all been there!"

"I'm there almost every day," Fluttershy said.

"You've got no reason to fret, Twi," Applejack said. "Everything's gonna be just..."

"TWILIGHT!" Rarity shouted, interrupting Applejack and getting into Twilight's face. She then inspected Twilight's head, saying, "Oh, sorry, darling, but I just realized you're not wearing your crown. You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?"

"It's in my bag," Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Spike and Dusk, who had Twilight's bag. "Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it. Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either." Twilight unfolded her new wings. She then started flapping her wings, but she wasn't used to flying, and fell onto the ground.

"I'm so glad I wasn't reborn as a pegasus," said Dusk. "I don't think I would get the feeling of having extra limbs growing from my back."

"Yeah, I know what you mean, Dusk," Twilight said. "You were once human. Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask Princess Luna since she was the one who connected your mind and your human parents mind, but what exactly does a human look like?"

"It's... hard to describe," said Dusk. "Every human is different shape, size, even color. Nothing candy colored. Like your fur."

"You're lucky that you don't have to do royal duties," said Twilight.

"You are a princess now, Twilight," said Rarity. "Embrace your royal status! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off. Why, I'd sleep in the thing." That made Twilight smile assuredly.


The Mane 6, Spike and Dusk arrived in the throne room of the Crystal Palace. Crystal Royal Guards were playing a fanfare. The Mane 6, Spike and Dusk were walking towards the throne, where Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadance were standing in front of.

Twilight was looking around her, not use to the royal fanfare for her personally. But she wasn't watching where she was going, and she bumped into... no one other than Flash Sentry, who became a royal guard thanks to his training. Twilight and Flash blushed.

Flash recovered and said, "Her highness, Princess Twilight Sparkle!"

Twilight and Cadance walked towards each other and nuzzled each other. Cadance then said, "Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!"

"We have so much to discuss," Princess Celestia said. "But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey. Now, off to bed, all of you."

The Mane 6, Spike and Dusk exited the throne room, and headed off to their guest beds. Dusk was rubbing his eyes, but got a little sad.

"Is there something the matter, Dusk Shine?" Princess Luna asked.

"Nothing really," Dusk replied.

"You are not being honest with yourself, Dusk Shine," said Princess Luna. "Please, tell me what's bothering you."

Dusk then sighed and said, "I'm... I'm just a little worried. Now that Mom's a princess, what will that mean for me? Will I be seen as a royal, too? I... I don't know if I'll be ready for royal duties when I grow up."

Princess Luna chuckled and said, "It is nothing to worry about, Dusk Shine. Especially of one your age. You should enjoy being young as you can."

"I agree with my sister," said Princess Celestia. "You don't have to grow up. Just enjoy being young as you can."

"I... I guess that makes sense," Dusk said. "But, I'm not too sure that I would be okay with wings sprouting from my sides. Mom isn't use to the wings. I don't think I'll be either."

"Don't worry, Dusk Shine," said Princess Celestia. "The Alicorn title must be earned to those who are worthy, and are given a test that'll prove you are worthy of an alicorn. But, it's usually the females that become alicorns in this Equestria."

"Well, at least I don't have to worry about it," said Dusk. "And if my mom isn't use to her wings. They keep unfolding every time she tries to go to sleep. I could hear her complaining every night ever since she got them."

"It'll take time for her to get use to them," said Princess Celestia. "In the meantime, you shall get your rest. Your mother has to prepare for an important summit."

"Of course, Princess," Dusk said. He then turned towards the door and followed the Mane 6, mostly his mom and Spike, to the room where they'll be staying.


In the middle of the night, guards were patrolling the halls of the Crystal Palace. Although, there was one pony in a cloak, roaming the halls without any of the guards seeing her. She snuck past the guards, and eventually made it to the room where Twilight, Spike and Dusk were sleeping in. Although, Dusk was not in his bed.

The mare in the cloak walked over towards the bedside table, and tried taking the crown in her red (I know it was light blue in the movie, but it was red in the other times that she was a unicorn) magical aura, almost knocking over the lamp, but she caught it, without waking Twilight and Spike. She then placed it back onto the table, and replaced Twilight's Element of Harmony crown with one that was almost exactly like it. She was about to leave when the sound of a toilet flushing caught her attention.

Dusk came out of the bathroom and saw the pony with Twilight's crown. He went wide eyed and shouted, "Hey! What are you doing?!" Dusk shouting made Twilight and Spike wake up, seeing the intruder. She put Twilight's crown into the saddlebags under her cloak.

"My crown! She's got my crown!" Twilight shouted. Then the intruder ran out of the room, being chased by Twilight, Dusk and Spike. As they were chasing the intruder, Twilight called out, "Stop! Thief! She's stolen my crown!" That made the others gasp and help Twilight chase after the intruder. Twilight then teleported in front of the intruder, calling out, "Stop!"

The pony charged up her horn, and teleported out of the way, leaving her cloak, and ending up behind Twilight, revealing who she was.

Then she started running away from the group. The Mane 6, Dusk and Spike continued their chase to catch her. Twilight was close enough, so she jumped on the intruder and tackled her, taking them into one room. As they landed, Twilight's crown fell out of the intruder's saddlebags, and ricocheted off the walls, and headed towards the mirror in the room, and it went through the mirror like it was water. That made the Mane 6 gasp.

"What did you do with my crown?" Twilight asked, angrily.

"Sorry this had to be this way..." the intruder said before teleporting in front of the mirror. "...princess." She then ran into the mirror. Leaving the Mane 6 and Dusk shocked and jaw dropped.

"Who was that?" Fluttershy asked.
