How This Started: Chapter Five

Unicorn Princess had had an odd dream a few days ago. Now that she had healed completely, she was allowed to be with Handsome Prince. She told him about it.

"My voice?" he asked. "I guess I did tell you that you should become the queen. Maybe that was some sort of prophecy."

"But I need to!" Unicorn Princess said. "I want you to go with me. To help me become queen. And we need to leave now!"

She ran to Glimmer and Pinky, who were cooking lunch. "Thank you for your hospitality and generosity in allowing me to stay!"

"What are you talking about?" Pinky asked. "You're not leaving, are you?"

"I'm so sorry," Unicorn Princess said. "I need to leave and become queen. I don't have much choice about it." She hugged Glint and Pinky and burst into tears.

"Oh, Princess," Glint said. "It's okay, it's okay. When you're queen, you can have us visit your palace. You'll be fine."

"But I'll miss you!" Unicorn Princess sobbed. "And Handsome Prince is coming too. You'll be all alone and I'll hate myself for it!"

"Oh, please, don't hate yourself," Pinky said. "You're too good to hate."

"I need to go," Unicorn Princess said, pulling away. She walked into her room, where Handsome Prince was sitting.

"Time to go," she sighed. Handsome Prince stood up. They said goodbye to Glint and Pinky and flew into the air.

When she was flying, an idea hit. "We can't just beat the humans on our own," she said. "We need a whole unicorn rebellion."

"Hey, that's a good idea," Handsome Prince said. "There's a village just across those mountains. Let's start it there."

A few hours later, they landed in the village. It was called Joyfulville. Well, they won't be "Joyfulville" much longer, Unicorn Princess thought. Soon they'll be Protestville.

Unicorn Princess and Handsome Prince noticed a stage with musicians performing a rather happy song. They landed, interrupting it.

"Listen to me!" Unicorn Princess screamed. "I'm Unicorn Princess!"

The crowd gasped, then cheered.

"QUIET!" she howled. "My father is dead and our country is ruled by a human named Meanie Boy. He killed my father! And he's evil! We need to protest against this! We are now an army!"

Her speech was met with cheers and cries of "Freedom!".

The protest, she knew, has begun.
