My Little Pony: Prophecy from the Future

Chapter 5

A week had passed since Fluttershy told Rarity and Sweetie Belle about Melody’s secret that she was Twilight’s daughter. For the whole time, they had promised not to let the cat out of the bag to everypony else in Ponyville.

Then, suddenly, Twilight gathered her friends for an emergency meeting.

“Princess Celestia has sent me a letter,” explained Twilight. “She needs all of us to see her immediately.”

“Something important?” asked Melody.

“Not pretty sure,” replied Applejack. “But we’d better get there fast!”

“Absolutely!” agreed Rarity.

They reached the train station at Canterlot, where a guard was waiting for them, and escorted them to see Princess Celestia.

“I have warned all of Equestria about this upcoming threat,” began Princess Celestia. “All the town leaders have seemed to take this matter seriously, summarizing from what they have replied.”

“Phew!” sighed Rainbow Dash.

“Also,” continued Princess Celestia. “Shining Armor has replied to me from the Crystal Empire that he had been reported of unusual sightings around the Crystal Empire.”

“This is bad,” gasped Twilight.

“That must mean that…” Fluttershy began.

“… the age of Queen Myra is beginning!” finished Applejack. Rarity fainted.

“You all should head to the Crystal Empire immediately and try to help what Shining Armor and Princess Cadance tells you all,” Princess Celestia explained to them what to do.

“Roger that, Princess!” said Rainbow Dash.

“About that invasion in Ponyville a month ago,” continued Princess Celestia. “Melody Aurora, I would like to give you words of praises upon your quick actions. Your power has somewhat saved Ponyville from destruction.”

“My pleasure, Princess,” replied Melody, smiling weakly.

“Oh, one more thing!” Suddenly, Princess Luna entered with a box.

“Good job, little sister,” Celestia took the box from Luna, then gave it to Twilight. “Take the Elements of Harmony with you. They should come in handy in the event of an emergency.”

“Got it, Princess Celestia. Thanks!” said Twilight.

“Off you go,” Princess Celestia saw them off. “There’s no time to lose. Good luck.”

Outside the castle…

“Do you really think you can tell mom?” asked Melody to Fluttershy out of earshot of everypony. “Mom doesn’t seem to suspect me further at all.”

“I can’t tell them yet!” said Fluttershy. “Otherwise I don’t know what would happen next!”

“Hey! What are you two doing?” called Twilight. “Hurry up!”

“Oh, alright! We’re coming.”

No sooner they were in the train bound for the Crystal Empire. Along the journey Pinkie Pie tried to entertain them, but they responded with little enthusiasm.

“There’s no time for jokes!” Rarity said at last.

“C’mon! I know everypony’s in a serious mood, but I can’t help to cheer everyone!” Pinkie bounced up and down.

“Shut up, Pinkie! I’m trying to look at the scenery!” scolded Applejack.

“Oops, sorry,” apologized Pinkie, and sat down quietly, thinking about Melody who all the time, was totally quiet.
