A Clone Gargoyle's Equestrian Tale

Reflection: Chasing a Crown Thief

Time for the first Equestria Girls! Couldn't come up with a good title but it was the best I could do. May have 3 or 4 chapters in this one.

.....

It was early morning in the Crystal Empire, where the Friendship Express begins to chug into the station there. 7 ponies and a baby dragon walked out of the train, ready to head to the castle.

One of them was a pony who was once a gargoyle named Malibu. He was excited to attend a royal summit with the newly crowned princess, his best friend Twilight Sparkle.

They walked towards the doorway past the Crystal Heart, Applejack just as excited as he was. "Hoo-wee! Your very first princess summit. You must be over the moon, Twilight."

Malibu saw Twilight's face rather concderned more than excited. "Oh, I am excited. But to be honest, I'm a little nervous too."

"Understandable, Twilight. But I'll be here to help," Malibu assured with a grin when Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared in front of them.

"You're 'nervicited'! It's like you wanna jump up and down and yell YAY ME! But you also wanna curl up in a teeny-tiny ball and hide at the same time!" She shrilled, curling up, then uncurling herself again, standing up with a grin.

Malibu rolled his eyes as Pinkie tussled Twilight's mane. "We've all been there!"

"Thanks for the reassurance, Pink," Malibu muttered under his breath.

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

Malibu jumped into the air when Rarity zipped close up to Twilight. "TWILIGHT! Oh, sorry darling. I just realized you're not wearing your crown! You haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville, have you?" She asked, grabbing Twilight's face.

Twilight eyed her saddlebag. "It's in my bag. Just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it. Haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet, either," She muttered, trying to fly but flopping to the ground.

Malibu helped her up. "You don't see me wearing a crown and ponies still see me as a royal," He pointed out. Rarity herself also realized this too, but still spoke some more.

"Wearing it or not, you are a princess now Twilight! Embrace it! I'm telling you, if I had a crown like that, I'd never take it off. Why I'd sleep in the thing!" Rarity exclaimed, tossing her mane.

It made Twilight smile a little, as Malibu inclined his head to the doors. "C'mon, my mom's waiting," He said. The Mane 7 reached the doors, where guards opened them for them. Other guards blew loud horns in a royal fanfare. Malibu gazed in awe at their reception as they walked down the aisle. Twilight wound up bumping into a stallion guard who didn't really look like a Crystal Pony, but Malibu figured he was a newbie.

"Their highnesses; Prince Malibu and Princess Twilight Sparkle!" Called out the new guard, Malibu looking up to see his main family approach; his mom Celestia along with his aunt Luna and Cadance.

Cadance giggled at the sight of them. "Twilight! I haven't seen you and Malibu since the coronation!" She greeted. Malibu hugged both Celestia and Luna who embraced him warmly.

"We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow. You all look tired from your journey." Celestia stated. Malibu after hearing that felt a yawn. "Suppose," He said sleepily.

"Now off to bed, all of you." Celestia insisted, the Mane 7 and Spike all going to do so. Malibu eventually reached his room, unpacking his things. He smiled at the sight of his bed nearby but now wondered, what will Twilight's future role be now as a Princess? She didn't even have a castle or a kingdom. But pretty much what his own predicament was.
