The sun’s rays were fading, leaving room for the evening, two mares were walking down to the local bakery, the Sugarcube Corner. Inside, there was a small party going on, with tons of sweet treats, music and a banner saying ‘Welcome Back Home, We’re Glad That You’re Dating’ with big, capital letters.
The party wasn’t loud and extreme, it was more like a meeting, if anything. It was the surprise party that Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow planned for Applejack and Rarity.
But only Pinkie and Fluttershy were the ones who said ‘Surprise!’ when the newly formed couple arrived at the bakery.
“Pinkie, darling,” Rarity asked, “are you sure that they didn’t say anything?”
“They told me that they were going to be late,” Pinkie answered, “but I really don’t know why!"
“Do you think something bad happened to them?” Fluttershy asked quietly.
“Nah, they’re fine!” Pinkie said. “That’s Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle, remember? The most brave and powerful ponies ever!”
“She’s right, Fluttershy!” Applejack said, comforting the shy pegasus. “If there’s anypony who could beat any monster or critter, it’s those two!”
Fluttershy hid behind her mane. “I hope you’re right... I don’t want anything happening to them.”
“No way something like that’s going to happen to them!” said a confident and familiar voice. “They’re way too awesome for being eaten by some monster!”
The four ponies all turned to the door to see Rainbow and Twilight, side by side.
“What a relief!” Fluttershy sighed.
“We were starting to get worried about you!” Rarity said.
“What happened?” Pinkie asked.
Twilight and Rainbow then turned their heads to the opposite side and uncovered their ears.
They were wearing special somepony ornaments. Twilight’s earring was shaped like a white cloud with a red, yellow and blue lightning bolt, with a blue feather hanging from it. Rainbow’s earring was shaped like a six-pointed magenta starburst, with white points appearing in between the points of the starburst, with five smaller white starbursts around the bigger one, with a purple feather hanging from it.
The other four friends couldn’t believe it.
“We always had a thing for each other, but only now we had courage to admit it,” Twilight said, breaking the silence.
“Well, we do know how that feels!” Rarity said. They all nodded.
“We couldn’t say earlier because we thought that it would end our friendship,” Rainbow admitted.
“But it only made it stronger!” the six friends agreed in unison
“Yeah, we know how that is,” Fluttershy said.
They all laughed.
“So, it looks like we have to celebrate a ‘Glad We’re All Dating’ party now!" Pinkie cheered, jumping and throwing streamers out of nowhere. “Woo hoo!!”
Suddenly, Spike enters in the bakery, huffing and panting.
“Did I miss anything?” he asked.
“Not at all Spike,” Twilight answered. “Did you bring the music we wanted?”
Spike took a vinyl disc out of his backpack.
“Right here!” he said.
“Thanks,” Twilight said”
She took the disc and put it on the disc player. Pop music started to play.
The six friends turned into three pairs and started dancing while Spike devoured the cupcakes in a faraway table.
