The Pony King Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Campfire Story

"Alright, girls," said Applejack. "Time for bed."

"Aw, but we're not tired," Apple Bloom complained.

"Yeah, let's hear a story!" Sweetie Belle agreed.

"Not tonight, girls," Applejack said. "Maybe tomorrow night."

"Aw, c'mon, Applejack," Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah, tell them a story," Pinkie Pie agreed.

"We're hyper right now," Scootaloo said. "And we can't go to sleep without a story!"

"Let's hear one," Rarity said.

"A story sounds good," Fluttershy agreed.

Applejack said, "Alright, girls, ah'll humor ya. Gather around the campfire."

Now you're probably wondering what Applejack means by campfire. She had taken the CMC camping and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie had tagged along to help.

"Now, let's see," Applejack said. "Oh, ah've got one. Once upon a time, somewhere far from Ponyville, Canterlot, and Cloudsdale, a son had been born to King Night Light and Queen Twilight Velvet."

"Wait a minute," Pinkie Pie said, "Celestia and Luna are the rulers, not Twilight and Shining Armor's parents!"

"It ain't a true story, Pinkie," Applejack said. "It's a made-up story. Now, if y'all'd let me go on?"

"Sorry, go ahead," said Pinkie.

"Now, as ah said, a son had been born to King Night Light and Queen Twilight Velvet," Applejack said, beginning her story. "And everypony, as well as every animal, had been invited to celebrate."
