The Midnight Dance 1

Love

The fillies clung on to the princesses with whom they each worked for as they moved in the hallway to get to the throne room, Soarin, Spike, and Fancy Pants were with them for moral support 

Sweetie Belle whimpered: But, what if they don't like us 

Scootaloo: And banish us to the Everfree Forest 

Apple Bloom panicked: And we'll never see any pony again 

Applejack: Would you three calm down, they're not like that, okay 

Rainbow Dash coolly: Right, so you can just chillax 

Rarity with soothing voice: You have nothing to afraid of, darlings, they will like you 

Spike: Besides 

Spike went to the yellow filly with red hair 

Spike: We have you to thank, Apple Bloom 

Apple Bloom: Thank me, for what 

Spike: For getting me and AJ together, if you hadn't told me that she had a crush on me, I don't know where our relationship would be at now, I probably would still be going after Rarity, only to discover my heart would have been broken 

Rarity: Spike, I----- 

Rarity started to say, but he just raised his claw to stop her 

Spike: It's okay, it doesn't matter anymore, I'm just glad how things did turn out 

He stared at his very special pony and she returned the glance 

Soarin: You can say that again 

Soarin put his hoof around Rainbow 

Fancy Pants: I most certainly agree 

Fancy did the same to Rarity, they stopped at their destination and the fillies gulped in fear, the doors opened for them as the bigger ponies went in first, with the fillies cowering right behind, Luna and Sombra sat in their thrones with the other princesses and their mates standing by to watch of how this was going to go 

Luna with soft, gentle tone: Come here, little ones 

The trio slowly gained confidence when they heard the queen's voice, but they were given an extra nudge by Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow, they were shaking as they made their way up to the royals 

Luna: I understand from my daughters that you are young servants of the castle and that you have no family to go to for support 

The fillies still shaking nodded their heads, Sombra and Luna gave each other looks and faced the girls again 

Sombra: Not anymore, you do, because we're your family now

He smiled brightly at them, the girls stopped shaking and glanced at them in shock, they couldn't be saying what they were saying, could they, both the king and queen held out their forelegs 

Luna: Welcome, daughters 

Joy ran through the fillies and all three jumped to the closest parent they were near to, the entire room was now shedding liquid pride of this touching moment 

Pinkie Pie: Now can we party 

Twilight: Yes, Pinkie, now we can party 

Pinkie Pie: Whoo-hoo, Cheese, bring out the party cannon, cause we're going to be celebrating all night long 

Cheese Sandwich jumped: You got it 

Before they knew it, the whole place was decorated for revelry, the party ponies even had Vinyl Scratch doing the music, every pony in that room started dancing away, as there was nothing but great joy and happiness surrounding them
