Luella, Twilight & Simba
One peaceful night in Friendship Estates, Luella was fast asleep in her bed, dreaming of her favourite moments in her life, like when she worked on a love spell to get Resus’ parents to stop arguing. She turned over onto her back and sighed in relief, thinking her days of Season 2 of Scream Street were over for now…that is, until she heard a magical sound from under her bed. She woke up, rubbed her eyes and looked around. Then she looked under her bed. To her surprise, she found a small purple crystal which got up with a beautiful purple glow and started floating slowly towards the wide open door. Luella ran after it, still in her comfortable pyjamas and raced downstairs.
Downstairs, Eefa’s magic wardrobe stood tall and grand near the plush red sofa. Its doors creaked open, and the jewel floated into the darkness of the cupboard. Luella crept towards the large wooden doors and knocked three times. No answer. She knocked four times. Still no answer. But when she tried to knock again, the door flung open, and a purple light shone directly onto Luella. Luella was so curious that she was determined to have a look. She stepped right inside, but was immediately sucked into the light.
Luella opened her eyes and found herself falling towards a time zone. This was a different Earth, with one big continent - Equestria. This was a different Equestria. This was prehistoric Equestria. Luella shut her eyes, worried that her fall would result in massive injury…but it didn’t, for the moment she woke up, she had landed on the soft sand of a golden beach. Luella looked around. “Hello?” she called out. “Hello?!” No one didn’t respond. “Oh well, I’d best, like, enjoy it,” she said, and she sat on the sand and looked out to sea. At one point in time, she saw a seapony jumping out of and into the water. “Wow…” she gasped, and lay back to enjoy such a beautiful atmosphere. The sky was grey, but the weather was still fine.
Suddenly, Luella heard laughter in the distance, and turned to the direction of the noise. “Huh?” Four young unicorn fillies were running towards her, wanting to play. One had a white coat and a red mane and tail, one had a blue coat and purple mane and tail, one was yellow and green and the other was red and pink. They playfully attacked Luella and ambushed her to the ground, tickling her with their blunt little horns. “No, stop it right now!!” screamed Luella, laughing loudly. She was beginning to enjoy playing with the baby unicorns. She laughed so much that she lay back, her laughter fading out. The young unicorns seemed to be a bit confused. “Luella?” said the yellow one, “You’re not dead.” After a few moments’ silence, Luella got up and said, “No!” very quickly. The unicorns screamed with laughter.
Just then, a familiar figure stepped onto the sand and approached Luella and the young unicorns. It was Twilight Sparkle. “Alright, girls, break it up.” “Twilight Sparkle!” blushed Luella. “How nice to see you!” “Welcome to Pony Island,” said Twilight, “It’s a place where lions and ponies of all kinds live in harmony, just like they were meant to be.” She turned to the young unicorns. “Remember the Ceremony Of Harmony? You’re gonna be seeing all that magic.” “Yay! Go Twilight!” cried the young unicorns, bouncing up and down in delight. “That’s okay, Twilight, I have my own brand of magic!” Whoosh! A stream of magic blasted out of Luella’s fingers straight at the unicorns, who scampered off giggling. “It’s a shame you don’t like fillies,” said Twilight. “Ooh, they haven’t mastered their Cutie Marks yet.” Twilight stomped her hoof on the ground two times, laughing. “Go find Simba. He’s practising his chant for the ceremony. Let’s hope he’s learnt it off by heart.”
Luella raced along the beach and found young Simba pacing back and forth on the beach, practising the ritual speech.
“May the Elements Of Harmony be united as one,
May we teach others to learn and have fun!”
The trainee witch was so glad to find Simba there as well. She called out: “Simba! Simba, it’s, like, me! Luella!”
“Kindness is Fluttershy all pure and sweet,
Laughter is Pinkie Pie with cupcakes to eat.”
“Yep, I still got it.” said Simba. “Are you sure you mastered it off by heart?” asked Luella. “I sure did!” “Come on, little one. Let’s get going. We don’t want to miss Celestia’s annual pep talk.” “Wow! I can’t wait to recite the poem!” In the forest, Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash crowded around Princess Celestia to hear her advice for the big ceremony. At the same time, Princess Luna spoke with Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity.
“Okay, girls, gather round. Today is the most important day of your life.”
“Now, girls, don’t try to use magic after Simba is done reading the ritual speech. It’s more fun if you do it together.”
“And if the Elements Of Harmony don’t work, just dance!”
“You’re never going to forget this day, so make it one to remember.”
“But if you messed up, don’t worry, they’ll never remember.”
“Hello!” called Luella. She had brought Simba with her. Princess Celestia brought out a box containing the Elements Of Harmony and handed it to the young witch. “Now go ahead, Luella, show them what you’ve got.” she encouraged. Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow went with her, and soon the air was filled with neighing and clopping as Simba went to the front of the tree, and the Mane 6 gathered round in anticipation and excitement. She opened the box, and the elements came floating out, attaching themselves around the Mane 6’s necks. The crown placed itself onto Twilight’s head.
Luella went with Princess Celestia and Luna to watch. Simba cleared his throat and began to speak:
“May the Elements Of Harmony unite us as one,
May they teach us to learn and have fun.
Applejack’s honesty, one element holds,
For she tells the truth and is very bold
Kindness is Fluttershy, pure and sweet,
Laughter is Pinkie Pie with cupcakes to eat.
Generosity is Rarity, no need for a dress,
And loyalty is Rainbow Dash, who’s awesome at her best!
So the six of you rise and claim this tree
As the resting place for the elements of harmony.”
Surges of power shot out of the elements at the tree, as the Mane 6 began whimpering and shouting in part terror, part excitement. Luella’s eyes sparkled as she watched the tree become a crystalline form.
The Tree Of Harmony
Behold the tree of harmony,
A new resting place for our princess
And Rainbow Dash who is awesome
And Rarity who can design a dress
Most people saw MLP on Youtube,
On 4Chan and Deviantart too,
There’s a big brony fanbase
That consists of me and you
Now watch the tree become the element’s new home
Its magic combining with organic
The elements are strong against traps and tricks
To make our enemies panic
King Sombra runs crying for his mum
Nightmare Moon becomes Luna again
Queen Chrysalis has nightmares about our ponies
And Tirek feels such pain
But low and behold, the elements are here
To make a brand new day
The elements are now a part of this tree,
Hip hip hip hooray!
The crowd cheered as the tree became a beautiful, magical tree, with its branches embossed with the Elements Of Harmony. As the cheering died down, Luella approached Twilight. “You were so cool!” she smiled. “I’m more of an extrovert than your introvertish ways.” replied Twilight, and she hugged her friend. From the sidelines, Princess Celestia dabbed her eyes with a hankie. “Imagine if Twilight’s mum and dad saw this,” she sobbed. “If only there was a witch in Ponyville. A good witch who can perform tons of good magic for everyone on Pony Island.” “You can be our resident witch!” cried Simba. “We can be new elements - I can be determination, and you can be-”
But then, the excitement stopped. Luella and Twilight looked up to see millions of comets shooting down from the sky into the sea. “What are they?” asked Simba calmly. “I don’t know,” whispered Luella, and she climbed onto Twilight’s back for safety. Twilight looked up, and saw millions of birds flying out of the sky. “Something’s wrong,” she whimpered as a light shone in the sky. “Very wrong.”
