Before the story begins, there’s something that everyone should remember. One is that there’s nothing more fun than telling a random story about your life, (or something about it anyways). Second is that kindness goes a long way, and that it’ll help you out in the long run. And lastly; thunderstorms are the worst. Which brings us to this story right... now.

---

The Crystal Empire is basically at its worst times right now. Why? Well; aside from the pandemic, quarantine, and the like; the entire kingdom was doing just fine, and everything was peaceful. Well.. at least until King Sombra returned, and then some vicious storm clouds rolled in to make matters worse.

Because of the storm, everypony took shelter and hid in their homes until the storm went away. Sombra however; was basically left outside in the storm, and he’s getting really drenched out there. Considering he had no choice, and no other options, he’s decided to go and see if his old enemies would be able to help him out in his time of need. At first they rejected. But then Flurry Heart whined and begged for her parents to let him in. Reason is simple; Sombra is clearly getting drenched, and of course, Flurry Heart has been taught the meaning of kindness by one of her aunt’s friends: Fluttershy. With that, the two parents opened the doors for King Sombra, and then letted him inside.

After that, Sombra shook off all the water he was covered in, and then thanked them for not leaving him out like that. Shining Armor wouldn’t have agreed to do so, but since the Crystal Empire was basically at its worst, he thought otherwise and decided that anything could happen at this point; even an old villains return. With that; Shining Armor directed everyone to Flurry Heart’s bedroom, and they all sat around the floor in order to stay away from the front door in case it were to get opened up somehow and let in any storm that is outside.

“So”, Cadence began. “What’re we gonna do now?” Shining Armor replied, “I don’t know, but I really gotta finish training the guards first. However; since it’s raining right now, I don’t think that’d be a good idea at the moment.” Flurry Heart then babbled something, and then starts whining. Sombra; surprisingly; translates, “so; basically you’re gonna go to a playdate with the Cake Twins in order to make amends. But because of the mean old scary thunderstorm, you can’t. And so with that, you’re left with nothing else to do; right?” Flurry Heart nodded and starts crying a little. Cadence sighs and then starts leaning to calm her daughter down. “So”, Shining began again. “Anyone here got any ideas on how to pass the time?” Sombra replies with; “I can think of something”, and starts to tell them a story.
