Friendship is Legendary/Story Mode/Crystal Pony route

[Player]: (What a beautiful morning! Perfect timing for my first day at school! I do remember what my caretakers told me...)

Caretaker: **[player]? You need to get going!**

[Player]: (Oh, great, I better get going!)

###

(The Crystal Academy is filled with many foals.)

[Player]: (Wow... how am I supposed to fit in?)

???: **Young foal! What are you doing here?!**

(The player says nothing.)

???: **You know that you can only enter the school if you pass an entrance exam!**

Player: (Entrance exam?! Why didn't I know that?!)

???: **Do you even have any parents?**

Player: (P-parents? I don't remember... all I can remember was that I was taken in by the orphanage caretakers when I fell from the sky!)

???: *Falling from the sky? Hmmm...*

(All the foals begin to laugh hysterically at the player.)

Player: (Oh no... this isn't good! That does it, I'm out of here!)

(The player leaves the room in a rush, crying.)

???: **This isn't funny! We're doing an entrance exam tonight.**

###

(A familiar Pony comes up to the player with a worried look.)

???: **[Player], what happened? Why are you crying?**

[Player]: **Diamant... I'm crying because I need an entrance exam if I'm to attend the Crystal Academy.**

Diamant: **Are you saying there's a chance you could fail?**

[Player]: **I guess so...**

Diamant: **Listen, [player]. I know you'll able to pass. You just have to find the gift within you.**

[Player]: **Thank you Diamant... for helping me! I really needed that!**

(The player then gallops back to the orphanage.)

Diamant: *This colt/filly/foal is special, alright...*

### Entrance Exam

[Player]: (Okay... I've decided. I'm going to take my exam and do my best to pass. I need to get some things so that I can prepare.)

(After getting the needed items...)

[Player]: (Phew! That should do it! Now I'm ready!)

(That night, the player comes in, walking out of the door.)

[Player]: (Alright [player] I'm going to give the exam a try. No freakouts.)

Judge: **Now, use whatever skills you have to hatch this egg. Are you ready?**

[Player]: (...Okay.)

Judge: **Okay [player], you can start.**

(The player takes a deep breath in and out and is about to do something near the egg, but then a sudden shock came. Everypony begins screaming.)

[Player]: ***GAH!!!!!!!***

Student #4: **Oh no! He/She/They turned the judge into a catcus, and me into an adult!**

Student #2: **AHH! Why am I taller?!**

Student #1: **Oh no! You** \*points at student #3\* **grab the quill and feather. You two,** \*points as students #2 and #4\* **don't panic, for you'll be back to normal soon enough. *EVERYPONY ELSE OUT!!!!!!!!***

(All of the other students flee.)

[Player]: ***AAAAHHH!! HELP ME!!!!***

(Outside, a battle-worn Diamant looks at the Crystal Academy building, confused. Back inside, the player still can't control himself/herself/themselves. Suddenly, a hoof touches his/her/their front leg, coming from none other than Diamant. The player starts to control his/her/their new magic and turned everypony back to normal while also hatching the egg, but his/her/their mane was flowing like a true Hero. Unfortunately, he/she/they suddenly black out.)

###

(The player wakes up back in their room.)

Diamant: **[Player]...**

[Player]: (I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to-)

Diamant: **You have a special gift. Never before have we seen a foal this strong.**

(The player is confused.)

Diamant: **But you need to learn to tame this gift and learn more.**

(Again, confusion.)

Diamant: **I would like to make you a protégé at the academy.**

[Player]: (Well... I did hatch the egg. And I can do magic.)

* Unless the player chose to be a Crystal Unicorn, the player also says "(Even if I don't have a horn...)"

Diamant: **Look at your flank.**

(The player notices that the Cutie Mark chosen at the beginning of the game is now visible.)

[Player]: \*gasp\* **I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!**

(The player begins jumping around Diamant, but the latter notices something else.)

Diamant: **[Player], why are you wearing that necklace?**

[Player]: (Necklace?)

Diamant: *It looks like the Magic of Friendship has found a Chosen One for the first time in YEARS! I have to tell him/her/them the truth.*

(Diamant takes a deep breath.)

Diamant: **It seems like you've become a Chosen One. This means that you'll get to experience a very long life ahead of you.**

[Player]: (Cool...)

(Diamant sweatdrops.)

Diamant: **Oh, and for hatching the egg, I thought it would be nice if you named this little guy. He really likes you, and when he is older, he will be able to help you. Right now, however, I think it would be nice if he spent the first few years of his life in the Dragon Lands.**

[Player]: (Wow, I can't wait! Now for a name... Hmmm... His name is...)

(The player's decision bar and name bar both appear. You can choose your new Dragon's name or type on the bar. If the Dragon's name is chosen, tap 'yes.')

Diamant: **[Dragon name], huh? Has a nice ring to it. Now, while little [Dragon name] spends most of his time in the Dragon Lands, you will have to spend time at the academy. Full honors!**

[Player]: (Okay then! I won't let you down!)

## Chapter 1: Crystalling

*It had been many years since that fateful day. [Player] grew up learning a lot about friendship, and one day, his/her/their newly-discovered knowledge would finally pay off... Eventually, the time came for an event that she missed when the little Pony was very young. It was time for a Crsyalling. And it seems like a certain baby Dragon was coming over to be with him/her/them!*

### Meeting Up With Your Dragon and Foalhood Friend

[Player]: (This is so exciting! I'm finally going to go through the Crystalling! But why? I was supposed to do this when I was a tiny foal...)

???: **You must be [player], right? Thanks for hatching me all these years ago.**

(The player look around and notices the dragon from before, now similar in size to pre-contract Spike.)

Student #1: **Hey look, [player]! It's your little Dragon! He must be ready to help you now! And speaking of which... today's your Crystalling! The school decided that you are to graduate at the same time because of your... origins.**

[Player]: (Seriously, dude?)

(All of the students begin to laugh.)

[Player]: (Please stop...)

###

[Player]: (I wonder where's Winter Glaze? He graduated a year ago, and I can't wait to see him in my Crystalling. The only problem is... what will happen since I have no parents?)

(Suddenly, a stallion bumps into the player.)

[Player]: (W-Winter Glaze?)

Winter Glaze: **Hey there, [player]! Are you sure you want to go through the Crystalling when you have no parents?**

[Player]: (I'm not sure, but it's worth a try.)

Crystal Pony employee: **Little one, the time has come for your Crystalling. Please come with me.**

[Player]: (Already?) \*looks at Winter\* (Wish me luck. Be sure to watch me, okay?)

### Crystalling

(The player is seen in front of a large crowd of Crystal Ponies.)

[Player]: (W-what's going on?)

(A Crystal Pony employee then trots up holding a purely transparent, perfect crystal in his mouth. The crowd of Ponies then all close their eyes and their chests glow as a familiar light, as well as the Magic of Friendship, is sent in a stream to the crystal, which begins glowing brilliantly.)

Winter Glaze: *C-cool...*

(The player begins to panic from fright.)

[Player]: (What the?)

(After the crystal is filled, the Crystal Heart is brought out. The shining, brilliant gem glistens, and the crystaller then takes the filled crystal and places it next to the Crystal Heart, where it is absorbed in. The Crystal Heart then glows so bright that it briefly blinds everypony.)

[Player]: (So this is a Crystalling...)

(In an instant, the Ponies get Crystalized.)

[Player]: (Wow... I look lovely...)
