First Sunrise

[royal_sunrise]

[Sick of the ponies yet? Well too bad. Have a confused white pony with rainbow mane standing around in the hallway. She doesn't seem to notice the cambot yet.]

Hello? Is there anypony here? Cadance? Luna? Twilight Sparkle? [She frowns as she paces a little, looking worried.] This doesn't make sense. I must have fainted at the party, but I've should have been rested up by now. I wonder if her attack did more to me than I thou-

[She then finally notices the cambot and makes a smile.] Why hello there. Can you tell me what's going on and why I seem to be in space?

[Pinkie executes a strange sort of midair squeak-and-flail at the camera, then turns and runs away screaming.]

CAMMY! CODE SUN! CODE SUN! GET ME THE SKATEBOARD, STAT!

[royal_sunrise]

[This startles the princess, but she calms down. The fact that one of Twilight's friends are here worries the princess. Perhaps something more is going on.] Pinkie Pie? Is Twilight Sparkle here with you?

[Pinkie answers from off-camera.] Twilight? Yeah, she's totally here! She's probably in the media deck, just gimme a sec. Heee! That rhymed! Okay, you just make sure it doesn't fall...

[A few seconds later, Pinkie comes trotting down the hall, pushing a giant Celestia-colored cupcake along on a hot pink skateboard. Her Cambot hovers alongside, making sure the pastry's steady. Once they reach the Princess, Pinkie bounces a happy circle around her as Cammy fires his confetti cannons.]

WELCOME TO THE SATELLITE, PRINCESS CELESTIA!!! Oooh, now that you're here too, we should TOTALLY have a Princess Party!

[Ammy cocks her head at Celestia with interest. Obviously this is another person from Ponyville, but she's never seen a pony that looked like this before. Such a colorful mane and tail...]

[royal_sunrise]

[Well this is interesting. She's never seen such a colorful wolf before.] Hello there.

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy barks back once in greeting. She gives her a look that seems to say 'What's your name?']

[royal_moonrise]

[Waaaaait a minute, she knows that voice!]

Dear sister, is... is that you?

[royal_sunrise]

Oh there you are Luna. Pinkie Pie told me you were here. Perhaps you know what's really going on?

[royal_moonrise]

We are afraid that it is a bit strange. It seems every being trapped on this vessel is part of some sort of experiment in which we read terrible stories. T'is rather perplexing.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Ooooh, so you are from the same place, huh? You look a little... taller. Well, I guess the princess is, too, but still.

Anyway... Hi.

[royal_sunrise]

[She blinks in confusion as she's never seen a human before.] I am from Equestria yes and I've been told my sister Luna is here. I'm Princess Celestia and you are?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Sister? Ooooh, that makes sense. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, at your service. [He tips his hat.]

[sailoryup]

[Big Macintosh does a double take at Cambot, eyes wide in surprise, and immediately stoops to bow to the princess. Probably a little too quickly, given his wince and the bandaged wound on his flank.]

[royal_sunrise]

[She winced at that too. He didn't need to hurt himself further than that.] Be careful. How did you get hurt?

[sailoryup]

[He slowly rights himself, more carefully this time, and waves a hoof in a vague gesture. It's kind of a long story.]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine can guess who this is--all the ponies had been adamant Luna's sister be included in her picture of Equestria.]

Hello, Celestia. Luna, Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Big Mac, and Derpy are all here--I think they'll be glad to see you.

[royal_sunrise]

[She assumes she's a friend of Luna's or Twilight's.] I've been told already and I've already talked with Pinkie Pie and Luna. I've also seen Big Mac, but he seems to have gotten injured here. Do you know what happened to him?

[colorbymemory]

[Good. Namine hasn't seen her conversation with Pinkie yet, so she just wanted to make sure Celestia knew the others were here.

She looks sad at the mention of Big Mac's injury.]

About a week ago, one of the scientists running the satellite sent a dangerous animal here. Big Mac got caught on the same deck as it.

[sailormuffins]

HI PRINCESS CELESTIA!!

[royal_sunrise]

[She tries not to wince at that. That was a little too loud, Ditzy.] Hello Ditzy.

[verygassy]

Oh, hello!


I think the bigger question is whether you want to know why you're here. Mainly because its not as bad as it looks, er...Ms...Pony who is clearly from the same place every other pony is from?

[royal_sunrise]

I think I can handle it. You may call me Celestia.

/so late to this party

[sailorgenerous]

Princess Celestia!

[She sinks into a bow, then rises again. This was not something she was expecting today, or at all, really.]

I...suppose Pinkie Pie has already brought you your cupcake?

It's fine

[royal_sunrise]

Hello Rarity.

Well I've run into her and spoke with her. She wants to make another party, which is fine by me.
