The Crystal Empire

(Y/n) pov:

"This place is soo sparkly!!" Izzy said as she was looking at the shiny buildings of the crystal empire. It was the next day and all of us, minus Zipp who wanted to do some research, we're out exploring the empire until Flurry has made preparations for us to go home ready. Izzy then runs up to a store that sells necklaces and other small accessories. "Oooooo! These are beautiful." She says as we walked to her. "Wow! Those look fabulous!" Pipp said. "So Sunny, know anything about these?" Hitch asked her.

"To be honest, I don't really know much about the Crystal Empire. Most of my interests were of the Guardians of Harmony , bringing friendship to the ponies, and finding Canterlot." She told us. "Oh yeah... i remember when we used to play finding the lost city of Canterlot." Sprout said with a smile. "I also remember whenever we "found" the city. Sunny would have a plush Twilight sitting on the "throne" greeting us." Hitch said as he and Sprout laugh while Sunny was pouting and blushing.

"Awwww, Don't be grumpy Sunny. I remember mom telling me how Zipp used to pretend as a detective and tried to solve mysteries. Mom kept a lot of pictures of her, which Zipp would tried to hide them from me. But I know all her hiding stashes." Pipp told her. "What about you?" I asked her. "I have nothing to be embarrassed about." Pipp said with a big smirk. "Uh huh...... I'm sure Zipp and your mom might say something different." I said with a smirk.

"You will do such thing! I swear I will make sure that you find nothing embarrassing about me!" Pipp was saying trying to persuade me into not looking and the others were giggling as we moving on.

Zipp pov:

"So this is the Crystal empire library." She said as she entered the building. "Welcome! I apologize if the place is still a bit of a mess. But feel free to look around." The librarian said as she walked up to me. "Thanks and do you know where I could find the history section?" I asked her. "Follow me." She said as I followed her.

Your pov:

"Is that supposed to be Spike?" Hitch asks. "It is! I remember hearing about Spike from my dad, He was Twilight's friend and partner! I just wished that I could meet the real Spike and not a statue." Sunny said. "So what up with the heart?" I asked. "It's supposed to be the crystal heart, well not the actual heart, he's basically a hero to the crystal ponies." She told me. "Huh!" I said as we walked on.

"This place is very nice and I love all the aura's everypony is giving off. It's very shiny and sparkly." Izzy said as she looked around. "This place is doing well despite it being trapped in a bubble and some minor damages." Sunny said as she motions to some buildings that have some damages and half the trees were broken off the ground. "I guess some ponies are trying to continue on like nothing happened." Hitch said and then adds. "At least they got someponies to fix the damages."

"I wonder how the ponies back home are gonna react that we found a lost city, found a alicorn, and creatures that ponies haven't seen in..... decades?" Sprout asks. "They are gonna be in for one big surprise." Pipp said. "I can only imagine how the laws are gonna be affected." Hitch said. "But don't you handle the laws?" I asks. "Yep... Its gonna be great." He said with a smile.

Zipp pov:

"Uggghhhh!!! None of these books have the answers that I am looking for!?" I growled in frustration as I slammed the book shut. "What seems to be the problem?" I jumped when I heard somepony asks. I looked up to see Princess Flurry. "Oh! Hey, your highness-" "I thought I told you to just call me Flurry? We do technically have the same title." She told me.

"Except you are a alicorn who already runs a kingdom. While I am just a Pegasus who is next in line to rule..." I said in a less enthusiastic tone. ".....Do you.... Not want to rule?" She asked me as I sighed. "Not really.... I just want to fly free and not worry about all the attention of being Queen. Honestly I don't like the spotlight that my sister likes." I told her. "I understand. I didn't really want to rule the empire when I was young. But luckily I wasn't alone. Aunt Twilight helped me out, because she was familiar about ruling an entire kingdom."

She told me. "Heh! I'm sure Sunny would love to hear that." I said. "If you want to talk about ruling a kingdom. Your always welcome to ask me for advise or some help. But i do think you'll be fine. Besides, I'm sure your sister and friends would help you if you ask them." She told me. "Thanks.... So.... I have a question?" "Yes?" "This "storm" you've been taking about. I checked everywhere to see if there was anything similar to what happened to you but I have found nothing." I told her.

"Maybe this storm was the first time it happened?" She suggested as I groaned. "Ughhhhh!!! That's just gonna make things more difficult!" "We could always see if Canterlot has anything?" She suggested. "But Canterlot is.... Wait? You would know where it is!" "Really? None of the ponies in the future know where Canterlot is at? It's on top of mountain?" She says. "Hey, none of the ponies have left their respected homes until last year." I told her. "You did had other places then those three right?" "Nope! We never expanded from our.... Why didn't any of the ponies try to expand and try to build other towns or cities?" I asked myself in wonder but I then said. "Although, it probably wouldn't have worked out since the Zoroark were roaming around."

"Zoroark? Is that another Pokémon?" "Unfortunately.... Those guys were very aggressive and dangerous." I said. "I see.... Well preparations to the airship is still being done. Want to catch up to the others and see the empire?" She asked me. "I don't have anything else to do until we get to Canterlot." I said as I got up and I followed Flurry out of the library. Then Zipp ran backed. "But first i need to put these books away." She said as Flurry flew back to help her.
