"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Our Friend Godzilla Addendum: Godzilla's Window"

It's been a while since Godzilla almost single handedly saved all of Equestria from a great kaiju invasion. Some speaking on behalf of Godzilla have said they feel he hasn't gotten enough recognition for his heroic deeds. Those they have been talking to agree full heartedly and those that are in power have decided they're going to do all in their power to see that is rectified. Come and read as Godzilla, king of the monsters is finally honored and respected like all of Equestria feels he should be, including his most closest and best of friends.

Takes place 3 days after Season 4, Episode 5, "Flight to the Finish"

"Hurry up, Rarity, we're gonna be late!" Rainbow Dash shouted up the stairs.

She and several other ponies were standing in the main room of the Carousel Boutique. Among those there were Princess Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. All of them were dressed up in fancy formal attire, for they were on their way to a very special ceremony. Unfortunately there was one tiny oversight holding them up from heading out to said ceremony.

"Just another minute, please," Rarity called back.

"You said that twenty minutes ago!" Applejack chimed in.

"And twenty minutes before that," Apple Bloom added.

"And five minutes before that," Pinkie Pie said. "I remember because I ate my fifth cupcake at that exact same time."

"Pinkie, those are suppose to be for the after party," Twilight Sparkle said.

"I'm hungry," Pinkie Pie defended. "If I had known Rarity was gonna take so long, I would've packed extra snacks in my mane."

"First of all, you should know by now Rarity takes a hundred thousand years," Rainbow Dash said. "Secondly, why didn't you check your mane to make sure there weren't any leftover snacks in there already?"

"Hmm... you know, I never thought of that," Pinkie Pie said. She then reached a hoof into her big, puffy mane, felt around a bit and then pulled out a s'more. "Okay, we're good. Also, I think I felt some more goodies in there, so we should be a-okay all the way."

Pinkie Pie then took a bite out of the hair covered treat she found in her mane as everypony watched with uncertainty.

"A-Anyways, back to my original point," Rainbow Dash went back to the bottom of the stairs and shouted up, "we should've been out the door by now!"

"You cannot expect me not to make myself look my absolute best for such an occasion," Rarity called back. "But since you insist, I shall rush myself even more than I already was. I warn you, though, my presentation will suffer far greater than it already has and I won't look as stunning as I would've otherwise."

"She's been rushing herself?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"The sad thing is she probably really has been," Sweetie Belle said with a sigh.

"That's Rarity for ya," Applejack said.

"Sweet Celestia!" Rainbow Dash let out. "If this is her going fast, I'd hate to see what it's like when she's taking her time!"

"But you have seen her take her time, Dashie," Pinkie Pie said.

Rainbow Dash looked on thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "Oh, yeah... Nightmares."

The blue coated pegasus shuttered at the memory of that day.

"Well, here I am and I hope you're happy," Rarity said. Everypony turned and looked to the top of the stairs, only to have the sight they saw stop their hearts for a moment. "Well, how do I look?"

Rarity had made herself look absolutely amazing as she had so many other times. This time, however, it seemed like she'd gone even farther than ever before to look stunning. Her dress, her makeup, everything seemed beyond outstanding. The only exception was the disappointed frown on Rarity's face.

"Oh, well... uh..." Applejack said after snapping out of her daze.

"Uh..." most of the other ponies said.

"Hmm," Pinkie Pie hummed. Her eyes were squinted and her face was serious as she rubbed a hoof under her chin. "I don't know, try losing the frown. Give us the princess of the ball smile instead. Ooh, ooh, and the dreamy eyes."

"Don't forget the prom date down the stairs walk," Sweetie Belle said.

"Well, all right, even though my heart's not really in it," Rarity said. "If that is what I must do to look even more marvelous, than I shall try. It will still pail in comparison to what I could've been."

Several of the other ponies rolled their eyes, but Rarity ignored them as she took in a deep breath. Then the white coated mare turned on the charm doing exactly what Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle had suggested. Like they had promised, Rarity looked all the more gorgeous as she slowly walked down the stairs. The sight of the pony was so mesmerizing it almost seemed like she was moving in slow motion while bright lights illuminated around her. By the time Rarity had come down the stairs, Spike seemed like he was about to explode into a million pieces.

While that didn't exactly happen, the young dragon was still beat red as steam flew from his ears and his heart thumped hard in his chest. The extra big smile on Spike's face lightly subsided as he fell back in his seat. His scales on his face turned back to their original colors, the steam in his ears was gone, and his heart wasn't beating nearly as fast or as hard. But now hearts were floating and popping above his head as his tongue hung down the side of his mouth.

"Told you it would work," Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle said together before slapping each other a high hoof.

"Hmm, I suppose," Rarity said. "It would've been better if I could've had enough time to add everything like I had originally envisioned... Though it was pretty satisfying to see Spike turn an extra shade of red this time around. I just know it would've been ten more if only."

"You should've started earlier, Rare," Applejack said.

"I did start early," Rarity said.

"She's been at it since before Celestia raised the sun," Sweetie Belle confirmed.

"Holy cow!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "And you still don't think you're finished?!"

"I don't think," Rarity said. "I know."

"I don't think I know either," Pinkie Pie said.

"Wha- Bwa- That's not what I meant!" a fluttered Rarity let out.

The other ponies all began laughing while Rarity stood with an annoyed frown on her face. Applejack saw this and came over to Rarity's side to put a hoof around her.

"Don't worry about none of that, Rarity," Applejack said kindly. "You still look great and you know that's the truth."

Rarity looked to her southern friend, who gave her a wink of reassurance. The unicorn mare smiled gratefully before turning to see the others smiling and nodding in agreement.

"Rarity, trust me, no matter what you do, wherever you go, you'll always be the best looking pony," Spike said before giving a wink of his own.

"Thank you, Spikey-poo," Rarity said. "Sorry, everyone, for getting so wound up. I'm just so excited... and maybe a little nervous. But it's still no excuse. Despite how my ensemble might've turned out, today is not about me.

"Today is about a particularly important friend of ours."

"Well said, Rarity," Twilight Sparkle. "Today is a day to honor one of our best friends who truly deserves it."

"I hear they're also gonna honor you guys at the ceremony," Apple Bloom said.

"Well, if that's the least bit true, then it's mighty nice of them," Applejack said. "But Rarity's right; today isn't about us. We weren't the ones out there fighting tooth and claw against a bunch of mean and nasty monsters."

"Though a little recognition for the small part we did play would be nice," Rainbow Dash said. Everypony turned to the rainbow maned pony and gave her deadpanned faces to which she smiled sheepishly. "What? I only said a little bit."

"Actually, I kind of agree with Rainbow Dash," Spike said. "I know who did the brunt of the work, but you girls still put your all into helping protect Equestria like you usually do."

"I know, Spike," Twilight Sparkle said. "But we've never done it on a scale this grand before. Even if they want to give us a mention, I still think we should make it clear who's day it is."

"Agreed," the rest of the Mane Six said together.

"All I know is, as great as the ceremony's gonna be, I can't wait for the after party!" Pinkie Pie said. "I spent so much time setting it up, I can't wait to see it all payoff. I wonder how big his eyes are gonna get when he sees what I did for him! Oh, and the whole town will be there! Today's just gonna be a great day!"

"Now I know we can all agree on that," Scootaloo said.

"YEAH!" everypony else said together.

Suddenly Spike released a blast of his magical green fie from his mouth. When the fire disappeared, a rolled up and tied scroll was left in its place. Everypony gathered around as Spike opened up the scroll and began to read it silently.

"Well?" Rainbow Dash inquired.

"What does it say, Spike?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Spikey-wikey?" Rarity chimed in.

When Spike was done, he had a sly-looking smile on his face.

"First of all, Celestia just wants you all to know how late you are," Spike said. Everypony turned to Rarity who flashed an apologetic smile. "She also wanted to let you know they spotted him at the bottom of the mountain."

The others gasped.

"He's there already?!" Twilight Sparkle asked in alarm.

Spike nodded his head.

"Him and Fluttershy both," Spike said.

"Weren't they suppose to meet with us first so we could go together?" Apple Bloom asked.

"They must be running late, too," Applejack said. "Probably realized what time it was and headed right for Canterlot."

"But they wouldn't do that without letting us know first," Rarity said.

Suddenly a gray blur came flying through an open window. Those inside the boutique screamed as they ran and jump to avoid the blur as it crashed into the other side of the room. Everypony came out of hiding as they looked to see what it was that came through Rarity's window. Despite being dressed up herself, everypony instantly recognized the silly, clumsy, but still very lovable Derpy Hooves. The mail pony shook her head for a few moments before turning to the others and smiling apologetically.

After being warmly welcomed, Derpy pulled out a letter, which Twilight Sparkle graciously accepted. She opened and read the letter before passing it around to the others, Rarity being the last to receive it.

"Oh," Rarity said. "Very well then. Thank you, Derp- uh, Ms. Hooves."

"I prefer Derpy," the gray mare said as she smiled.

The other ponies let out a quick laugh before thanking Derpy Hooves and saw her off with warm wishes.

"She looked great, didn't she?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"She should, that was one of my own," Rarity said. "She saw it and instantly fell in love with it. So how could I not sell it to her? It is my job after all."

"I think we get the point, Rare," Applejack said.

The others all agreed.

"You know, she's probably on her way to the ceremony right now," Scootaloo said.

"Which is exactly where we should be going right now," Rainbow Dash said.

"RD's right, we need to get our flanks going!" Applejack said.

Everypony agreed and then hastily headed out the door and made for Twilight's hot air balloon.

A SHORT TIME LATER:

Along the way up the mountain, everypony in the basket of Twilight's hot air balloon had seen their larger than life friend climbing his way up its side. They couldn't see Fluttershy, though, and they doubted she'd be able to see it was them in the basket from where she was. Rather than try to attract attention to themselves, they just went on until they came to their destination on the mountain. Not too far away was the capitol city of Equestria: Canterlot. Home to the royal sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the city looked as majestic and beautiful as such high ranking ponies deserved to live in.

But as great looking as it was, Canterlot itself was not the balloon's intended destination. Instead, Twilight Sparkle lowered the hot air balloon down to the wide open, grassy field outside the city wall. There were many hundreds of other ponies gathering there, too. Some had come by balloon as well while others either took pegasus pulled chariots, flew themselves, or just took the train. Nearly everypony was dressed as nicely as they could be for the event happening that day.

"Quite the crowd," Spike observed.

As soon as the Mane Six, the CMC, and Spike landed, a team of ponies came to take care of their balloon. The majority of the crowd were taking their seats, which had been lined up from the middle of the field to just a few meters away from the city wall. However, the group led by Twilight made their way up to the very top of the wall, above the city gate where their seats were lined up for them.

Also there was a miked podium and the other princess of Equestria, Celestia, Luna, and Cadance with her husband, Prince Shinning Armor. Right away the two groups gathered around and greeted each other with warm welcomes.

"Welcome, my little ponies," Princess Celestia said. "Hello, Princess Twilight."

"Hello, Princess Celestia," Twilight Sparkle said. "How have you been?"

For a brief moment the white coated alicorn's motherly smile turned to a frown of sad regret.

"It hasn't been easy having to deal with the aftermath of the kaiju conflict," Princess Celestia said.

"It hasn't been easy for either of us," Princess Luna added. "So many poor, innocent souls were lost before getting to this moment here. No, it hasn't been easy. But we can take comfort in knowing just how many ponies are thankfully still here."

"Yes and it's thanks to our guest of honor's heroic efforts that it is so," Princess Celestia said. "Today is a day surely to be remembered. We will honor one who has become one of our greatest champions in an extremely short amount of time."

"But it was for the best of reasons," Princess Luna said. "True we all had to go through a lot and suffered great loss. But it was with the help of today's honoree that Equestria could wake up and live again."

"I couldn't agree more," Twilight Sparkle said. "I'm so glad we were all able to be here on this day. Shinning Armor, Cadance, I'm especially happy you could come with how busy it must be running the Crystal Empire."

"Twily, this guy saved our lives," Shinning Armor said. "More than that, he saved the country."

"The least we could do," Princess Cadance said, "is be here for the day where he is forever in christened in Equestria's history as one of her champions."

"Darn right!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Well stated," Rarity agreed.

"Right on," Applejack said.

"Oh, my gosh, today is so great!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

Suddenly a low, bellowing roar echoed out from further away in the field. Everypony turned to look on at the horizon for the source of the mighty roar, though they were all knew who it was. A small amount of time went by before a series of loud crashes began to echo in place of the roar. A guard pony on the wall with a telescope looked to see if they could spot the giant who made both the roar and the loud booms that were actually the creature's footprints. After looking around for a moment, the royal guard settled the spyglass on what looked like a bright green blotch on the mountain side.

After a few moments of adjustment and the creature getting closer, the royal guard was able to see the sight for what it truly was. Though the Earth pony stallion had heard many stories about this almighty beast before, this was his first time actually seeing the great kaiju known as GODZILLA. The stories did the king of monsters no favors, for he was every bit the specimen the guard pony expected and so much more. At three hundred and thirty five feet tall and with the outer appearance of an upright, ferocious dinosaur-like monster, Godzilla had a presence truly all his own. What kept him from being a complete terror to the ponies of Equestria, though, was a reputation he had rightfully earned as the country's protector.

Only a short time ago several other giants much less friendly to ponykind had tried to destroy all of Equestria. It was because of Godzilla's selfless bravery that these menaces were dealt with to a permanent end. In other words, he fought and killed them all, doing his absolute best to make sure he would come out on top. While it was true he had lots of help on the side, it mostly came from the very ponies he was trying to protect. Several of those particular ponies were none other than the Mane Six.

They were a group of mares who had saved Equestria several times before and had become well regarded as heroes in their own right. But they'd be the first to tell you they wouldn't have survived the monster invasion that befell Equestria had Godzilla not been there. It was actually the head of the Mane Six, Princess Twilight Sparkle who, along with the rest of the princesses that had summoned Godzilla. He was brought in solely to protect Equestria, which he gladly agreed to under the implied condition that everypony everywhere would be his friend. That was not a difficult condition to live up to, for Equestria was practically glowing in the magic of friendship.

In fact most ponies would agree it was this incredibly strong bond that gave Godzilla enough inspiration to take on eleven different giant monster almost completely on his own. Doing this had made Godzilla an instant success story all over the nation and got him recognized as a true blue hero. Some would say that more than that, he had become a legend overnight. Because of Godzilla's selfless deeds and his never ending desire for friendship and to protect ponies everywhere, it was only fitting he'd be celebrated for it. That was exactly what everypony had gathered around for that day, a ceremony recognizing and celebrating Godzilla's heroic acts in defending Equestria.

Despite all that, though, it was hard for a lot of ponies to get over the initial surprise and even fear of seeing a creature as mighty as the king of monsters. The Earth pony guard that had spotted the great Godzilla was shaking in his armor like he had just seen the devil himself. Godzilla seemed to have a permanent look of intensity on his face. Of course, even without that, there was still the rest of Godzilla's appearance, his emerald colored, bumpy skin, his ivory white back spines, his long tail, his bulky body, and more. Godzilla was an absolute force to be reckoned with and anypony that saw him realized that instantly.

He was still on ponykind's side, though, which was a large reason why ponies who saw him should not only tried to keep themselves composed, but respected him. The Earth pony guard wanted to do all this, but the sight of Godzilla was very intimidating. The instant fear of Godzilla's appearance was overtaking the guard's senses. Still since he was the one that spotted Godzilla, it was up to that guard to report. The trembling pony reached for his loud horn tied to his side, but his constant shaking caused him to to keep losing hold of it or make it bounce around.

Just as he grabbed a hold of it and was getting ready to blow into the horn, the loud call of a different guard's horn rang out.

"Your Hignesses, the guest of honor is now making his final approach to the city wall!" a pegasus guard called out loudly.

"Very good, captain, thank you," Princess Celestia gently said.

Everypony kept looking as Godzilla made his final approach to the city gate. There were a lot of ponies in the crowd who had actually seen Godzilla in person before. Others had at least seen his picture in the paper, but absolutely everypony there had heard of him in one way or another. Like the Earth pony guard before, however, the sight of Godzilla heading in their general direction was still an unnerving sight to most of the ponies in the crowd. Some were downright terrified and nearly ran out of their seats, though everyone eventually managed to control themselves and stay seated.

Godzilla was still a incredible sight to behold, but ponies still knew what he did for Equestria. Nerves were slightly calmed also by the sight of a cute little pegasus pony flying alongside Godzilla like an escort. It was the creamy yellow furred and pink maned Fluttershy who, like everyone else, was dressed up very nicely for the occasion. Everypony saw how calm and collected the young mare was, being surprised to see she was even smiling. She was beaming as though she were taking her dog for a walk around the park.

Seeing Fluttershy was a reassuring sight only at first, though, for several ponies started to feel uneasy again the closer Godzilla got. In time, his shadow had covered nearly the entire crowd, meaning they were all staring up and seeing Godzilla at his true enormous size. The crowd stared in amazement with slight hints of fear as Godzilla walked right passed them. He had made sure to keep his distance, for he wanted to make sure nothing he could do would negatively effect the ponies nearby. He even made an extra attempt to control his hundred meter long plus tail, which would usually fling up in the air on occasion like it had a mind of its own.

Except for the shadow he cast, the only other thing Godzilla did that had any effect was his footsteps, which shook the ground. But the kaiju king was doing his absolute best to control his footsteps so they wouldn't cause to big of rumbles in the earth. The awe struck ponies never took their eyes off Godzilla, even when he moved passed them and headed for the Canterlot city wall. Concern started to build even further amongst the crowd when the king of monsters suddenly stopped in his tracks. The giant monster turned back towards the audience, making them all gasp and at least one of them scream.

Again some ponies got out of their seats to run, but they either managed to stop themselves or had a pony there to keep them where they were. Godzilla stood for a moment, only letting out growling breaths as his ever-so-intimidating yellow eyes scanned the crowd. The ponies in the audience waited and wondered what the mighty monster would do next. Almost everyone of the ponies were surprised to see Godzilla actually flash them all a big smile. Everypony was stunned for a few moments before they all slowly started to smile back in response.

Then what Godzilla did next amazed everypony in the audience to an even greater extent. He held one hand over his chest as he gently bowed his head to the ponies that had come to see him be honored. This drew a big reaction from the crowd as they began to cheer and applaud as loudly as possible. Godzilla stood up straight and stared happily at the audience's reaction before turning to a smiling Fluttershy who nodded approvingly.

"I told you they'd love it," Fluttershy said.

Godzilla nodded his head as he softly growled in agreement with his friend. The two then turned to the city wall and resumed their approach. Once they were close enough, Godzilla stopped in his tracks and smiled down happily at the ponies beaming up at him just as gleefully. Most of them waved while all of them spoke at once, wishing Godzilla a warm welcome. Godzilla nodded his head to them before he and Fluttershy took one last look at each other.

After that, Fluttershy flew down to be with the rest of the ponies there, thus uniting the entirety of the Mane Six. Instantly she was showered with a chorus of happy greetings, which she returned in kind.

"My, Fluttershy, your dress is simply darling," Rarity said. "Where ever did you get it?! It certainly wasn't me."

"I got it on loan from a friend," Fluttershy said. "I would've worn one of your dresses, Rarity, but I had already worn all the ones I have from you."

"Totally understandable, darling," Rarity said. "I shall rectify this in the future by sending you more coutures to avoid situations like this in the future."

"I wish I could've gotten my hooves on one of your designs from your Godzilla inspired line before today," Fluttershy said.

"Me too, that would've been the bomb," Rainbow Dash said.

Several of the ponies all started to agree with each other.

"I would've liked to have had you all looking marvelous in my Godzilla line as well, everypony," Rarity said. "It would've been simply divine. Too bad I didn't start work on the new line earlier. Not to worry, though; there will definitely be dresses available for everypony at the next event for sure."

"At least Twilight got one for today," Pinkie Pie said. "It makes sense she would."

"And she looks darn good in it, too, boy howdy" Applejack said.

Everypony agreed that Twilight Sparkle's emerald colored, jewel encrusted, and scale patterned dress looked great, especially on her. All the flattery from her friends made Twilight Sparkle lightly blush before she and everypony turned their attention to the approaching princesses. Fluttershy respectfully bowed to the monarchs as her friends did when they first arrived.

"Welcome, Dear Fluttershy," Princess Celestia said. "It is wonderful to have you join us here today."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Fluttershy said. "Thank you, princess."

Celestia and Luna both turned to look up at the guest of honor with everyone following suit.

"And of course, what would an honoring ceremony be without its guest of honor?" Princess Celestia said.

"Welcome, welcome, a hundred times welcome to you today, Godzilla," Princess Luna said. "I'm truly happy that we'll be honoring you today."

"We all are," Princess Celestia said. "You've done so much in so little time that anypony would be foolish not to be able to proudly call you our hero."

Godzilla lightly bowed his head as graciously as he could. He then let out a low, growling roar, which got a slight reaction out of the crowd. As Godzilla turned and looked on apologetically, the princesses, the Mane Six, the CMC, Spike, and Shinning Armor couldn't help but laugh in amusement.

"He said the pleasure was all his," Fluttershy said. "He also thanks you for honoring him today, that he does feel deeply honored. He says if he had to, he'd protect us all over again, ceremony or no ceremony."

"Maybe we should be saying all this to the good ponies out in the crowd so they can hear?" Spike suggested.

The others looked to the small dragon and then one another before agreeing that was probably best thing to do.

"Then take your positions, everypony, and we'll begin," Princess Celestia instructed.

Everypony did as they were instructed. The Mane Six, Spike, the CMC, and Shinning Armor took their seats while Celestia, Luna, and Cadance stepped up to the podium. Instead of one of them trying to speak into the microphone, however, all three turned back and looked expectantly to the seated ponies. Twilight Sparkle was the only one who looked on in confusion. She soon realized the others were all smiling her in the exact same manner as the princesses.

The violet furred mare finally realized what everypony was hinting at and got up to take her place with the other princesses. Twilight Sparkle was greeted warmly, as usual, by her royal contemporaries before Princess Celestia turned and nodded her head to Godzilla. The beaming kaiju nodded his head in response and slowly turned to face the audience. He kept his tail curled up at his side so it wouldn't do any unintended harm.

"Welcome, ponies of Equestria, welcome all," Princess Celestia announced into the microphone. "Today promises to be a truly momentous occasion and I can't tell you how truly great it is that you could all be here to celebrate it. We're here to honor a brave soul who put his life on the line with but only one goal in mind: to earn our love and our friendship. After all that this truly amazing creature did for us, I think it's safe to assume he now has all that and much more. Because of the imposing appearance of this champion that fought to save our nation, most would call him a monster, but I feel this term only applies to him in the loosest of terms.

"I personally prefer more to call him a hero, because that is what he truly is deep inside. This absolutely amazing hero is none other than the magnificent giant you see standing before you today. Fillies and gentlecolts, I give you, the king of all monsters, the mighty Godzilla!"

Thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the audience. The reaction was even greater and more robust than the first burst of praise by the crowd. Godzilla simply smiled as he lightly bowed his head in respect to everypony.

"Hey, give us a roar!" a pony from the crowd exclaimed.

"Yeah, do it!" another agreed.

"Make it a really big one, too!" a third pony called out.

Before too long everypony was getting into it as they let out their own plead for Godzilla to roar. Eventually it turned into one big cant with everyone saying, "ROAR, ROAR, ROAR, ROAR-"

As the chanting continued, Godzilla looked to the princesses and the Mane Six, who were just as amused as he was. Eventually Fluttershy nodded her head, which was all the signal Godzilla needed to let loose. He turned back to the crowd, through his arms back and lurched his head forward as one of his mighty, three mile roars erupted through the air. The roar extended for several seconds, during which most ponies had jumped a little with surprised looks on their face. Eventually, the low moan of Godzilla signaled the end of his roar.

Every look of surprise was replaced by a smile from the audience who cheered yet again.

"Your roar is mightier than a thousand claps of thunder, Godzilla," Princess Celestia went on. "But that feat is only minimal compared to what you accomplished in defending us and our homeland. You defeated eleven horrid creatures who we never would've been able to stop on our own. Even if we could, we never would've done it in the time you managed. Surely so many more lives would've been lost had it'd not been for you.

"Godzilla, you truly exemplified what it means to have true courage and just as importantly, what it means to be a true friend. I've heard tale that before coming to Equestria you were sad, lonely, and even hated in the world you knew before. I can assure you that you will never, ever be treated that way again after saving our land. You've made a friend of the whole nation that is Equestria because you proved you are a true, true friend."

The crowd whooped, cheered, and applauded as loudly as ever, flooring Godzilla with even more emotion than ever before. The emotional toll was high for nearly everyone there with even the mighty Godzilla shedding a happy tear or two. While several other ponies were doing the same, most weren't expecting this display of emotion from a creature so imposing as Godzilla. Still, it showed how much he really cared, which was something everypony appreciated dearly.

"Now, ordinarily these types of ceremonies would start and end in the castle," Princess Celestia said. "However, due to obvious reasons, our honoree is, by his own admission, unable to accompany us even into the city. So to accommodate our honoree, who deserves many more special accommodations in the future, we decided to start the ceremony here. What we're going to do now is begin the process of moving everypony to the castle for the next part of the ceremony. Before we move on, though, is there anything you have to say, Godzilla?"

Everypony looked to the mighty giant, who's eyes slightly widened with surprise. Eventually he began to roar ever so lightly, but even then still sounding intimidating. After a few seconds of his roaring, Godzilla finished up and looked to his official translator and best friend ever. The princesses and everypony else looked to the creamy yellow pegasus. Upon all those eyes looking at her and knowing what they wanted, Fluttershy began to feel very uncomfortable and even a little frightened.

She had no problem sitting quietly with all her friends, even if it was in front of a crowd. What Fluttershy absolutely didn't want to do was speak in front of such a large crowd. That's especially when it came to something so important as what they were doing that day. What if she messed up while speaking? What if she forgot the things she was going to say?

She wasn't even up at the podium yet and Fluttershy was feeling the pressure. It was relieved somewhat when she felt a bunch of supportive hooves on her shoulders and back. She looked to see all her friends had gathered around her, to which Fluttershy smiled gratefully. She then saw Twilight Sparkle there waving her hoof for Fluttershy to come in closer. Understanding what her friend had in mind, Fluttershy leaned in and whispered her translation to the alicorn princess.

When Fluttershy finished, Twilight Sparkle put a final hoof on her friend's shoulder before walking away. She stepped up to the podium, Celestia moving back to let Twilight Sparkle take her place at the microphone. Upon seeing Twilight Sparkle there was some confusion from the crowd, but it was quickly replaced with cheers at seeing Equestria's newest princess.

"Thank you all," Twilight Sparkle said graciously. "What Godzilla said was that he is overwhelmed by the positive reaction he has received today. For so long he was hated, persecuted, wished dead by millions. But now that he's here and he sees how well we treat him and each other, he's more than happy to protect us all when needed. He said he'd fight eleven more kaiju if he had to because as far as he's concerned, we're all worth it.

"But while he appreciates the support and all your love and friendship, he wants to make sure we don't forget something. He wants us all to remember everyone else that did their best to protect the great nation of Equestria, including those who unfortunately fell in the line of duty. It's sad he knows, but it's still important to him that everyone be recognized for the roles they played."

Godzilla interrupted with a few low growls as he pointed to Twilight and the others. Instantly everyone knew what he was getting at.

"He wanted to make it clear that we all played big parts, too," Twilight Sparkle said. "It's true, I, along with the other princesses, my brother, and another... chaotic individual cast the spell that brought Godzilla here in the first place. We were originally hoping for another kaiju, who actually did show up to help near the end. Unfortunately, she was one of the many who gave their lives in this conflict. It's a shame because she had just become friends with Godzilla before we brought him to Equestria.

"So for that I would like to give a special mention to Mothra, the winged guardian who was just as brave as any other and stood against the kaiju menace. Having said that, I'm actually truly thankful that we ended up getting Godzilla at the beginning instead. A big part of me believes we would've just as easily befriended Mothra had it been her, but still, Godzilla's become such a close friend to me. I can't imagine a life without him being such and I don't want to either. More than his strength and power, it is his courage, his heart, his spirit, and his love I've come to admire most.

"I love everything about Godzilla; he really has come to be one of the best friends I've ever had. Having said that, I'm actually glad for the most part, that I wasn't the first pony he met. I kind of wish I had been at least one of the ponies that had been there to meet Godzilla when he first came to Equestria. But it still couldn't have been anypony better to meet Godzilla for the very first time than another of my dearest friends. That pony is none other than Fluttershy."

"This awesome pony right here!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she flew out of her seat and pointed a hoof at Fluttershy.

"Eep!" Fluttershy softly cried as a few ponies laughed.

She then ducked down and put her hooves over her head as many ponies in the crowd started applauding. This got Fluttershy's attention to the point where she got up again and looked on in surprise at the support of the crowd. As she took in the admiration from the onlooking ponies, the yellow coated pegasus couldn't help but feel a warm feeling grow inside her. It increased tenfold when the supportive hooves of her friends lightly touched her on the back and shoulders. Fluttershy looked around her to see the faces of her friends with proud smiles on their faces.

During the show of moral support, Rarity couldn't help but try to dust off some specks of dirt that got on Fluttershy's dress when she ducked down to the floor.

"Yes, it was this pony who first came across our great defender," Twilight Sparkle resumed. "When Godzilla first came to Equestria, it was far from any civilized pony, in the Everfree Forest. But Fluttershy felt compelled by a need to go investigate Godzilla's arrival. Nearly every part of her was begging her not to, she was so scared. But Fluttershy... a pony so brave, so tough, so strong, so compelled to prove herself at any cost, refused to let that fear hinder her. So, she stuck to her instincts and went out to investigate the strange going ons in the forest.

"It was her who found Godzilla and even though he scared her at first, they eventually saw eye-to-eye. In fact, it was actually Godzilla who initiated the formal introductions. It was just Fluttershy's goodwill and kind heart that made it better. You know, for a long time Fluttershy was afraid of a lot of things... including letting her fear get the better of her. But the truth is, Fluttershy is one of the bravest ponies I've ever met.

Twilight Sparkle then turned to Fluttershy who was smiling as appreciatively as could be. Twilight smiled back before she and Fluttershy looked to Godzilla himself, his response being a reassuring smile and a wink.

"Fluttershy," Twilight Sparkle went on, "you can change the things you do... but don't ever change who you are. Or you neither, Godzilla." Twilight Sparkle then looked back to the crowd. "We've all been through a lot recently, especially with the kaiju attack. Many things had to happen, including unavoidable sacrifices being made.

"I can only hope we honor those we loss while also honoring the hero who made sure their sacrifices weren't in vain. Today, at long last, we right a wrong that has stood for too long." Twilight turned to Godzilla as she said, "Godzilla... as of today, we're giving you your very own stain glass window in the Canterlot Castle's royal hall!"

The crowd cheered and applauded, making Godzilla feel loved in ways he'd only dreamed of before coming to Equestria. He smiled on in appreciation before roaring out his gratitude to the citizens of the great land he was happy to call home. Godzilla then turned to his friends who were all applauding and cheering.

"We also honor you with these!" Princess Luna's voice boomed out as she raised a hoof.

Two very large curtains disappeared in a flash to reveal two golden Godzilla statues on either side of the Canterlot's city gate. Many ponies gasped and awed at the sight of the new additions to the gate's display. They may not have been Godzilla's exact size, but they were still big enough and eye catching enough to grab anypony's attention. Godzilla looked stunned as he gazed at the statues made in his likeness.

"We want all who come to our capital city to know the pride we take in one of our most beloved citizens!" Princess Luna let out in her royal Canterlot voice so all could hear. "You are one of this country's greatest and dearest friends, Godzilla, and we want to do everything we can to let you know it."

"We love you, Godzilla!" a pony from the crowd yelled.

"Way to go, G!"

"Thank you for saving us!"

Several more ponies voiced their support and gratitude for everything Godzilla had done, making him feel all the greater. He looked to his friends who appeared just as joyful as him.

"Godzilla, you truly are on of the best heroes Equestria's ever had," Twilight Sparkle said. "You've shown what it's like to truly care for someone and what it takes to be a true friend. With your presence here, the magic of friendship can only grow. Now, let's start extending our hooves back to you a little bit with one more of what will be many tokens of our appreciation. We'll never be able to repay you, but we'll try anyways because we love you that much!"

Ponies applauded as Princess Twilight Sparkle's speech finally ended and she took her seat. Even when Princess Celestia returned to the podium, the crowd couldn't stop cheering and applauding for Godzilla. They even started to chant his name.

"GODZILLA! GODZILLA! GODZILLA!"

It went on for a moment before the crowd finally settled down.

"And now," Princess Celestia began, "with a little help from Princess Twilight, Princess Cadance, and my sister, Princess Luna, we will teleport you all to the castle. Like I said before, Godzilla himself is unable to accompany us despite how much we'd like him to be able to. But we didn't want him to be left out of his own celebration, which is why we had the ceremony start here and part of why we had the new statues put at the city gate. We'd still like him to be able to see his own window, though.

"That is why we're going to do our best to see that he can... with a new spell." Ponies in the crowd murmured amongst themselves as they questioned what the princess meant. The alicorn of the sun turned to Godzilla as she said, "Oh, great king of the monsters, with your permission, we'd like to cast a spell on you. More specifically, we want to enchant your eyes so that you will be able to see what my sister sees as she'll be the one casting the spell."

"That is correct," Princess Luna said with a respectful bow of her head. "I know what it feels like to think you're not getting the recognition you deserve. I'm sure you don't feel that way, but I don't want to take any chances. None of us do and none of us want you to miss seeing your own window."

"So, with that in mind, may we have your permission, Godzilla?" Princess Celestia asked.

Godzilla nodded his head as slowly and gently as he could while he growled softly. He was trying to act calm and collected, but it was clear he was excited as could be.

"You don't need Fluttershy to translate that one for ya," Applejack said.

"Do you?" Pinkie Pie added questioningly.

"Certainly not," Princess Celestia said after a giggle. "All right then, let us all prepare ourselves for the climax of this most deserved ceremony on Godzilla's behalf."

She then turned to Twilight Sparkle, Cadance, and Luna, who nodded as their horns began to glow. Soon Celestia's was glowing as well as she concentrated her magic on everypony there for the ceremony just like Cadance, Luna, and Twilight were. But Luna was also focusing her vision exchange spell on Godzilla's eyes. It wasn't easy doing two such complicated spells at the same time, but the weight was slightly taken off by the aid of the other princesses pitching in. Pretty soon a light enveloped the crowd of ponies, the glow disappearing only a second later, taking everyone with it.

Everyone, that is, except for Godzilla who was still standing outside Canterlot's city gate. It was okay, though, for the spell had proven to be a success and now Godzilla could see everything Princess Luna could. It was as clear as though Godzilla himself actually were Princess Luna. He saw the royal hall where most everypony was seated and it was glorious. It was as beautiful and majestic-looking as Godzilla would've ever expected since he thought Celestia and Luna deserved no less.

The sight turned to Princess Celestia who stood at the head of the room along with the Mane Six, Spike, the CMC, and many a dignitary. The visiting Princess Cadance and Prince Shinning Armor were there as well. It was a big turn out like Godzilla could've only hoped for before he'd ever come to Equestria.

"After the rousing speech from Princess Twilight Sparkle," Princess Celestia said, "there's really nothing else to say. Let us all feast our eyes on what will be a proud reminder of Godzilla's good deeds and good heart. May it stand forever so the king of monsters himself can be remembered forever like he deserves to be."

Princess Celestia then turned to a wall, as did everypony else. There were many other stain glass windows there in addition to the new one that had been put up. Currently it was hidden by a curtain, but that was soon rectified as two royal pegasus guards pulled it away. Everypony was stunned into awe at the sight of what was a spectacle of a window. After a moment of silence, many a pony smiled as they started complimenting how glorious the window was, truly befitting Godzilla's glory.

The outer part of the window was made up mostly of varying shades of light blue and contained many Old Ponish symbols interspersed with black framing. The center was colored in gold minus the emerald green image of Godzilla shooting his atomic breath. The end of said beam was shaped like a heart, which surrounded images of the Mane Six with their elements of Harmony. It was a glorious sight that everypony gladly marveled at. Several voices loudly and proudly spoke about how wonderful they thought the window was.

Among those ponies who loved the sight of the window so much were the Mane Six themselves who weren't expecting to be a part of the picture it displayed. They all felt incredibly honored for such a privilege, loving the idea of being immortalized in the same image as Godzilla, king of the monsters. But none of them were as pleased with or loved the stain glass window as much as Godzilla himself. Thanks to Luna's spell, he got to see the frozen, colorful image, which sent his spirits soaring high. It was even better when ponies started cheering and applauding as loudly and proudly as they had so many times before.

"Godzilla will forever be immortalized in this castle's halls for his selfless heroics!" Princess Celestia announced. "And may he be remembered everywhere else across and beyond the plains of Equestria for his greatness as well. Let it be known that we, all those who make up the population of Equestria, are united in our undying love and admiration for our great hero. Long live Godzilla!"

"LONG LIVE GODZILLA! LONG LIVE GODZILLA! LONG LIVE GODZILLA! LONG LIVE GODZILLA!"

The cheers rang out all across the great royal hall of Canterlot. They were only drowned out by the emotionally charged celebratory roar of a giant creature who, while faraway, saw everything happening in that hall.

"So, do you think Godzilla's happy with how things turned out?" Applejack asked.

"Maybe just a little bit," Rarity said.

Then the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the princesses, Shinning Armor, and Spike all shared a laugh as Godzilla's roar rang out again.

LATER IN THE FIELDS OUTSIDE OF PONYVILLE:

"Come on, G!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew at top speed around Godzilla's body. "Don't tell me you can't catch a tiny little thing like me! Show me what you got, big guy!"

Suddenly she ended up crashing against what felt like a brick wall. As the rainbow maned mare pulled herself off the hard surface, she shook her cobwebs away and realized she'd actually flown straight into Godzilla's hand. She looked up to him in surprise, though his face looked as stern as could be as he let out a soft growl.

"He said that you asked for it," Fluttershy, who was hovering nearby, translated.

"Yeah... I guess I did," Rainbow Dash said as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Good call, G. Much respect."

Godzilla then carefully raised his closed fist to Rainbow Dash, who obliged him with a hoof-to-fist bump. "Yeah, way to go, G! My bro!"

Godzilla smiled before looking around at all the other pegasi flying around him. They were only some of what was many ponies partying around in the fields near his friends' hometown. After the window unveiling ceremony, Pinkie Pie quickly let loose her big after party. Many ponies that were at the ceremony were also in attendance, as was the majority of the citizens of Ponyville. It was set up with all sorts of outdoor party aesthetics one would come to expect, only done up to eleven as was typical of Pinkie Pie parties.

One of the biggest spectacles, aside from Godzilla himself, was a stage set up where a live band and Vinyl Scratch alternated between performances. It seemed like everyone was having a grand time, doing every fun thing one could think of to do at such a large gathering. It did Godzilla's heart good, but no sight pleased him greater than when he looked down to see his friends running around at his feet. The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike were being chased by ponies of the Mane Six in a game of group tag. Everyone had since ditched their formal attire and were just having a ball.

Finally it came to a point where Godzilla's group of friends all ran into one another and let themselves fall to the ground as a group, laughing all the while.

"Oh, it can't get any better than this," Spike said.

"You said it, Spike!" Scootaloo agreed. "This day has been just about perfect."

Suddenly Godzilla's roars filled the air, making everypony turn to see his smiling face gazing down at them. He had his hand held out as he pointed to his friends, then his open palm, roaring all the while.

"Uh, Twilight," Fluttershy, who was hovering next to Godzilla's open hand, said.

"No need, Fluttershy," Twilight Sparkle said. "I'm all over it."

With that, the violet alicorn's horn lit up and soon she and the others were all laying in Godzilla's open hand. Several ponies exclaimed both in amazement and slight nervousness as they looked out at the spectacular view they now had.

"I'm king of the world!" Spike shouted as he stood up and stretched out his arms.

Everypony laughed before the young dragon came jumping at them.

"Whoa, easy there, eager fever!" Applejack said. "Don't want any of us accidentally getting pushed over the edge now, do we?"

"Ah, Godzilla, Rainbow Dash, or Fluttershy would just catch whoever fell," Spike said.

"That's true," Rainbow Dash said as she hovered close by. "We're totally on top of that for sure."

Fluttershy and Godzilla nodded in agreement.

"But I get your point, Applejack," Spike said. "I can't help it! This is so cool!"

"I don't think I've ever had this much fun in my life!" Apple Bloom agreed.

"What a wondrous view!" Rarity exclaimed as she marveled at everything she could see from her vantage point.

"So... is this what it looks like when you're flying?" Scootaloo asked.

"Sort of, squirt," Rainbow Dash said. "But I'm sure you'll get the full flying experience for yourself one day."

"I... sure hope so," Scootaloo said, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Several hooves touched her back, including Rainbow Dash's.

"Just remember what I told you before, Scoots," Rainbow Dash said. "Even if you don't fly one day, you'll always be awesome in your own way."

"And that's a fact," Applejack said.

Several ponies spoke in agreement and support, forcing a grateful smile on Scootaloo's face. Godzilla then roared out, making everypony turned to see him looking on supportively.

"Godzilla says he sees a future where you sore high, Scootaloo," Fluttershy translated. "He also says that he's sure it will happen because of the will you, along with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom displayed when you won the flag waving contest for the Equestrian Games. Godzilla also said he'd love to have a future where you were waving to him as you're flying by and hopes it happens."

"Aww," several ponies let out.

"Thank you, Godzilla," Scootaloo said. "And thank you, too, Rainbow Dash. Thanks to everypony. Until we find out whether I can fly or not, though, we have a party to enjoy!"

Everypony cheered in agreement just as the band for the party started to play a new song.

"Come on, everypony, let's dance the night away!" Pinkie Pie squealed gleefully.

Everypony spoke in agreement before they all started to dance right there on and around Godzilla's palm. Fluttershy stopped only for a moment to look at Godzilla, who himself beamed down at her. He then let out a soft roar.

"Oh, yes, Godzilla, I agree," Fluttershy replied. "Today couldn't have gone any better. You deserve a perfect day to celebrate what you did for us. I know you've heard it a lot today, but I gotta say it again. Thank you, Godzilla, for all that you've done."

Godzilla roared saying he'd gladly do it again, but then told Fluttershy not to forget the contribution she and her friends made. He stressed that getting to fight by their side made the task all the more worth it and looked forward to the possibility of doing it again in the future.

"I love you, Godzilla," Fluttershy said in response.

Godzilla told Fluttershy he loved her too before letting her get back to partying down with everypony else.

Okay, so one of my friends practically begged me to do this story because he thought Godzilla deserved some recognition for his heroics. I can see his point. Godzilla in general deserves all more love and respect, not just within this series, but as a franchise in the real world IMO. But still, this concept I feel is not really something that could fill a whole story. I did my best to make something out of nothing, though, and I hope you all enjoyed this first installment. Don't worry, not all of them will be like this. There will be several stories covering all sorts of topics, genres, and things like that. Stay tuned and please tell me how you felt about this first installment. Leave a review saying anything you want provided it's respectful.
