The Future is Magic

1. With summer vacation over and school close to starting again, Prince Courageous Heart and Princess Twilight Sparkle reveal to their daughter Princess Starlight that she will soon have herself a baby brother or sister. Every pony, friends and family alike, all hear of this wonderful news, and await for that magical moment when this new foal shall be born into the Kingdom of Tambelon.

2. MOOD SWINGS *Run faster, Courageous...* Time to haul ass out of here!

3. Gust and Candy Apple, two friends who have known one another for so long, since they were foals, got into a fight for the first time in forever. They had trouble working together on a project for the Cutie Mark Crusader Scouts (CMC Scouts) and refused to talk to one another. But with some help from their friends Starlight, Delicacy, Tyke, Shani, and even their Scoutmaster Marshall, help them both to remember whom they are, and the powerful friendship they share with one another. Gust and Candy come to terms and realize their friendship is one they should not forsake, and together they make amends...and both earn their cutie marks.

4. Upon spending the day visiting his parent's house, Courageous came to discover his little sister Shammy Step on a date with a stallion from school. She had her mane all fancied up, new makeup, and still wore the Sapphire Star amulet he gave to her years ago. The protective big brother hid within the bushes and watches, spying even, to ensure his little sister is safe and the stallion, Slick Style, she is dating will treat her well the way he does his beloved Twilight.

5. However, Shammy discovers her brother's spying and yells at him; Despite how much she loves and admires him, the young unicorn lectures him on how she is no longer a helpless little filly and can look after herself. Courageous tries to retaliate, explaining he knows Shammy is old enough to look after herself and was merely observing to ensure she was safe. Shammy does not believe her brother and just storms off, wishing Courageous would understand how she is old enough to be her own mare now.

6. Twilight persuades her husband to make amends with Shammy before she is lost to him, and he agrees. However, along the way, Courageous and Twilight catch an earful of Slick and his friends laughing and chatting on how the handsome stallion was only dating Shammy so he could have his chance to meet the Royal Family of Tambelon...namely Twilight and Courageous. Knowing this was shocking to the Prince himself, he had to inform his sister, yet Twilight recommended he apologize to her first before this...otherwise she may not believe him. So, Courageous does meet up with Shammy at their parent's home, and he gives Shammy a heart-filled apology for not realizing she was a mare now, and could look after herself. Happy to hear this, Shammy forgave him and kissed his cheek. Afterwards, Courageous revealed what her and Twilight heard, and Shammy felt heartbroken by this. Once Slick arrived, and seemed joyous to have the Prince and Princess there, Shammy dumped a bowl of mash potatoes onto his head...messing up his perfect mane, and he ran away crying. This proved Shammy was a strong and brave young mare, much like her big brother.

7. During a Daring Do convention, Gust...a loyal fan just as much as his mother Rainbow Dash is...met up with A.K. Yearling herself, and followed her as she and a young stallion named Clever Wits took off on a personal quest somewhere in the jungle areas of Tambelon. It was then revealed that Clever Wits is Daring Do's little brother, and he was a special agent who tracks down evil doers from around the world...including the one who was both their number one: Charade, a Master Jewel Thief and of Disguises. However, when they arrived at the temple where Clever claimed he was hiding, it was a trap: The real Clever was trapped within, while the one who led Daring and Gust there was Charade in disguise, and revealed to the young fan that he was their older brother...one who brought shame onto their family, and even A.K. Yearling's own name. He trapped them inside the temple, leaving them to prepare for his grand theft of Tambelon's treasures from all over.

8. After some encouraging words from both Gust and Clever, Daring Do regained her confidence and together, they all broke out and used a rope to carry Clever out and up towards the cliff that was right above. However, Charade catches them escaping and jumps onto the rope...refusing to let his little brother and sister get away and ruin his plans. But just then, the rope snapped and Charade fell down a long way and right into a small lake, disappearing underneath. Later when the guards showed up to investigate, no trace of Charade was found...only a small passage under the lake that no normal pony could fit through, in which Charade was no ordinary pony. He had escaped, but would return in time. For now, Daring was happy to be reunited with her little brother Clever, and would have no fear of hiding her personal life from the world. She would write new adventures, and Gust would receive the first copy even before the official release date.

9. Pinkie Pie was in preparations of throwing a party for the buffalo and zebra, to celebrate their anniversary of forming a combined tribe for when they migrated from Equestria to Tambelon. However, the party-loving pink pony fell sick and could not continue her plans. But for Shani, the young rhyming zebra filly, after all the times she spent with Pinkie Pie at her Ice Cream Parlor in Tambelon City, she had ideas to make the party go just as planned, or even better than originally planned. With her own ideas, Shani created a grand party for all her family and friends to enjoy. Pinkie was even proud of her. At that moment, Shani realized her calling and received her cutie mark.

10. Candy Apple heard her Great Granny Smith telling stories about seeing Water-Ponies within Alicorn Lake years back, but such stories were only seen as rumors to the rest of the kingdom. But determined to prove them wrong, Great Granny Smith invited Candy and her friends Gust and Delicacy to the Lake...and watch for signs of Water-Ponies. It was said these beings are ones who became one with the water, and can be hard to see. After hours of waiting, no signs were seen...but Candy was not ready to give up on this, nor her great-grandmother's words...and such devotion allowed for the Water-Ponies from below, who were watching, to witness such powerful friendship of family, and they made themselves present. This would be a moment the four would forever remember, as the Water-Ponies, who were former Tambelon Citizens from ancient times, would let all of the kingdom known of their existence.

11. The day had finally arrived: Princess Twilight Sparkle was ready to give birth to a whole new member of the Royal Family. All from across Tambelon, and even Equestria, came to witness this wonderful event. All gathered outside the castle to await for the newborn baby to arrive and be presented for all to see. The wait was not long. Starlight would soon be summoned into her parent's bedroom, where she would behold a newborn infant snuggled in her mother's embrace. Twilight introduced Starlight to her baby brother...whom they named Proudheart. She felt so happy to have a little baby brother in her life now, and would vow to forever love and protect him. Afterwards, Princess Celestia performed the honor of magically holding Proudheart up upon the balcony for all to see. Everypony, friend and family alike, cheered as they welcomed the young prince into their world of everlasting Friendship and Harmony.
