The Disney Tales of Equestria - A New Day

The Disney Tales of Equestria
A New Day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun rises up from the hills of Disney Town. The residents got up from their beds and each took a look outside their yard to see that they now have a neighboring town of Ponyville just down across the road.

Mickey locks the door to his house and he and Pluto meet up with his friends and his girlfriend who are waiting for him by his front-yard fence. They decided to walk over to Ponyville, where they arranged a meeting spot outside the Ponyville Town Square to get together with the Mane 6. After arriving their meeting spot, Pinkie Pie greeted Mickey and his friends with a fresh batch of blueberry muffins. When they finished eating the muffins, the gang walked inside the Town Hall, where all the citizens of Ponyville and Disney Town are eagerly waiting for the meeting to start. Believing that everybody is in attendance, Princess Luna comes out from the hallway, her attendance pulls nearly every soul into silence.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, fillies and gentlecolts," Luna spoke. "I thank you all for coming to this very important meeting. To start off, let us welcome our new neighbors, the residents of the world of Disney, to our land."

All the ponies stomp their hooves on the ground with a warm welcome.

"Applejack," said Minnie. "Why do they stomp their feet--I mean, hooves at us?"

"This is how we make an applause," said Applejack. "Like ya folks use yer hands for clappin', we use for stompin'."

"Now that we have officially welcomed our new neighbors," said Luna. "it is time to get to the matter at hand.

"We are aware that many of you are accustomed to the old ways. We were familiar with each path to walk on, a type of meal to eat, where to shop for our food and clothes and other luxuries, but everything is going to different from now on. According to our Princess Celestia and the Grand Sorcerer Yen Sid, we have no idea when our planets will eventually split and everything would return to normal, but until that time comes, we will have to adapt in this new world we now live in."

She beckons the two ponies to open a large map that shows the new land of Equestria and Disney--a map that reveals new towns, new forests, new mountains and new kingdoms no pony had ever heard of before.

"Please mesmerize the land wisely, for you must prepare for any new dangers ahead. The Princess and the Grand Sorcerer has requested that all of you will travel the land, to expand our horizons and also be prepare for any kind of danger and evil within."

Donald Duck started to snicker, causing quite a stir among the Disney folk and the ponies. What was it that makes Donald to laugh like that?

"I'll tell you what of danger we're in right now," Donald spoke, still snickering. "The danger of those smiley faces on our map!"

Donald laughed out loud while pointing at smiley faces that suddenly appeared on the map. Some of the Disney folk and the ponies laugh at this gesture, but not everyone is amused of this little prank.

"Oh, do lighten up, Luna, and put on a smiley face," said a familiar voice. "I believe that the whole, new world should be filled with smiley faces."

Suddenly, a curious-looking being appeared out of thin air who reveals himself to be one of Equestria's infamous tricksters--Discord, a draconequus who has the power to control disharmony and chaos. Half of the audience, including Donald were shocked of his appearance, but Discord doesn't seem to be offended. He has gotten used to this kind of reaction.

"Come on, folks," said Discord. "I was putting in the fun of this BORING meeting. Even the duck liked it."

"That was before you showed yourself and scared the heck out of some of us!" Donald shouted, then throws his loud, quacking fits.

Discord covers his ears to block out Donald's loud quacks, so with a snap of a finger, Donald's beak magically disappeared. Donald attempted to scream, but he is now muted now that his beak is gone. Fluttershy comes out from the crowd and comes near Discord, giving him a disappointing expression.

"Discord, you give him back his beak right now!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"I'll give it back once the duck has calm down," said Discord. "His quacking's giving a headache."

All of the sudden, a gluttonous, booming laughter shook the whole building, coming from Pete, who is a social menace from Disney Town. The pony crowd is obviously given the wrong first impression from Pete, while the Disney crowd is already familiar with his antagonistic demeanor.

"It's about time that duck loses his beak!" Pete laughs heavily, then lets out a relieving sigh. "I like the way you make his beak disappear like magic. His quacking gives me the worst of headaches. And that whatchamacallit is right--this meeting is too boring. I mean, sure...our two precious planets have been merged into one world and all that was caused by that one star had blown up! The next thing you know, another star will go boom just like the last one and who knows? Maybe another planet will merge into ours? Or maybe something that is much worse?"

The crowd begin to murmur about Pete's unwanted opinion of the matter, but mostly they want to continue on with Princess Luna's briefing before they receive any more interruptions. But they are murmurs from the other part of the crowd believing Pete's theory about the possibility of another star exploding.

"Everyone!" Princess Luna's voice silents the entire hall. "I like to regain order from all of you and I like to continue the meeting. And I like you to bring his beak back, Discord. Please."

Despite showing signs of hesitation, he looks down on Fluttershy, who still prompting him to reverse the spell. Without a word, he snaps his fingers and Donald's beak magically reappeared. Donald wants to throw another fit at Discord, but Daisy closes his beak, shushing him so that he would behave.

"But what if he's right?" asked a pony. "What if there's another star that could explode?"

"What are we doing to do when it happens again?" asked a Disney citizen. "Then the balance of our universe is going to be all messy!"

The entire crowd begin to panic. Princess Luna tries to use her voice again to bring order, but this time to no avail. Mickey Mouse, Twilight Sparkle and their friends ran up to the balcony where the Princess is standing, coming up with an idea to calm everybody down.

Applejack quickly sets up a megaphone stand and Rainbow Dash and Donald took deep breaths and they both began screaming "QUIET!"

Their scream combo creates a little feedback from the megaphone, causing an immediate silence all over the hall. Mickey and Twilight both stood up in the front of the crowd, Mickey is the first to speak.

"Everybody and everypony, we all realize how difficult it was in the past few days, with all that just happen by a blink of an eye. If we had foreseen the star sooner, then we would had been more prepared, be more ready for any changes to come. According to our mentors, the chances of another star to explode is now a million to on eat this point and our balance is not threatened, despite the circumstances."

Twilight comes up now to speak.

"Grand Sorcerer Yen Sid and Princess Celestia is asking every living soul in our new world to go out and venture our merged land, to broaden our horizons, meet new people and ponies, see all kinds of wondrous things and most importantly, to learn many new things. If you come across any lesson you learned, no matter where you are, you are to write a letter to the Sorcerer and the Princess and they will read absorb every word you'll write. And also, as many of you will expect, there will be more dangers ahead, but we will be ready, no matter what."

Mickey comes to speak again.

"Folks, a new day had risen! Let us not use our fears and inconclusive statements as a way to start off our new day. Let us live in equality. Let us enjoy each other's company. Let us share laughter and tell many stories. And let us show many signs of the true meaning of friendship!"

The crowd cheered with high spirits, with the ponies their feet and the people clapping their hands, with the exception of Pete, who scoffed and left the hall with no hesitation. Discord appeared in front of Donald and although he shivered at the thought of doing this, apologized for the disappearing beak act. He and Donald shook hands with smiles on each face. Fluttershy could not be any prouder for her best friend who had reformed his evil ways.

With the maps on hand, they studied the maps excessively for they need know of the routes they usually took have been changed, for they are getting ready to start off their journey. The question is--where should they go first?

All of the sudden, a young dark tan-skinned man riding a camel arrives at Ponyville. By looking upon his appearance, he appears to become from the Middle-Eastern parts.

"Excuse me," spoke the young man with an Arabian accent. "I am seeking for someone named Rarity."

"Here I am!" Rarity spoke in sing-song, then walks around the man, looking over his fashion. "This Middle-Eastern type of fashion doesn't seem to come from the glamorous parts of Saddle Arabia. And you're a little filthy, to boot. Oh, never mind. What can I do to help you?"

"Uh--well--" The young man stammered, for he looks like he had never seen a talking pony before. He regain his speech and clears his throat, and then he went through his pockets to take out a rolled scroll. "I have here a important message from the Sultan of Agrabah, who has heard of your marvelous clothing designs."

Rarity uses her magic to take the scroll from the young man, who is a bit startled but once again regains himself. The unicorn carefully reads the message and then lets out  huge gasp.

"The Sultan has commissioned me to make a few dresses for his daughter, the Princess of Agrabah!"

"Seems that word travels fast already," said Applejack. "Sounds like you're a famous designer already, Rarity."

"Oh, my gosh! The Sultan wants to see me and the dresses in 4 days' time! I need to get started, but I don't have any human mannequins!"

"Don't you worry, hon," said Daisy. "I happen to have some in my place. I'll have them dropped off in a jiffy."

"You are a savior, Daisy!" Rarity squealed.

"Sounds to me that, after Rarity had finished the project," said Minnie. "That our first step would be towards Agrabah."

The others couldn't agree more. They will use that time to get themselves more ready for their journey, so they went to their separate ways to finish up what they need to do at home.

Discord came out of hiding from the group, seeking to pull off a prank on Pete. He finds Pete whistling down the streets of Ponyville, using the rhythm to beat out any ponies who stood in his way. With a snap of his fingers, he magically transformed Pete's head into a donkey head. The ponies then started to laugh at Pete, who looks at the reflection of a nearby window and started screaming and bawling like a donkey. Discord laughs out loud with his proudest moment.
