"Thank you for coming, Emilymena." Princess Celestia said to the young filly as she opened the bakery's doors to let her in.
"You're w-welcome, p-princess." Emilymena replied, trying not to let her emotions get the better of her as she met the princess of the sun and moon herself, Princess Celestia.
She was filled with overbearing excitement. She had received an invitation to Twilight Sparkle's tenth birthday party at Twilight Sparkle's Royal Canterlot Bakery just mere days ago by Princess Celestia herself, and her parents, filled with eagerness to bring their foal to meet the princess's personal protégé and the princess herself, accepted the invite and there she was, walking into the Dining Area which was right in front of the front doors to the establishment.
"Happy birthday, Twilight." Princess Celestia said as she walked towards the table of which Filly Twilight and the others were sitting at.
"Thank you for taking me here! This is the best birthday ever!" The purple unicorn said as she jumped around the room with excitement.
"Ah agree. Thank ya kindly for inviting me to ya student's birthday party, your highness." An orange and yellow earth pony filly said, bowing to the princess while saying "your highness".
"Your welcome, AppleJack and Twilight." Princess Celestia replied with a smile.
"Hi! What's your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked after noticing the fifth foal in the room of which she hadn't recognized.
Princess Celestia made it so nopony could interrupt their party so no one should have been there except for them. "Oh! Um..hi. My name is Emilymena." The small yellow and green filly replied, not hiding the fact that the birthday foal had frightened her.
Twilight took notice of the young filly's light blue eyes and long, and curly, dark green tail and curly dark green mane. Her tail was much more longer than any other pony's tail she'd seen.
"Why is your tail so long?" Twilight asked curiously. "Um...I don't know. I was born that way I guess." Emilymena replied.
"Hello everypony and welcome to Twilight Sparkle's Royal Canterlot Bakery! I am your host: Twilight Sparkle!" The foals were taken off guard by the animatronics on stage suddenly turning on.
"And ah am AppleJack! Let's eat some apples!" "And this is DJ Pon3!" Twilight Sparkle said, introducing a white unicorn animatronic with purple glasses.
"Yeah! And I've got my Bass Canon to play some songs for you to enjoy!"
Emilymena noticed that three of four of the foals looked almost exactly like the robots, but younger...and they didn't even notice yet!
"Speaking of songs, I think we should play one for our little audience here!" The Twilight animatronic said before putting it's microphone near it's muzzle and the DJ Pon3 animatronic putting it's Bass Canon on and starting to put on a song.
"One!" DJ Pon3 said.
"Two!" Twilight Sparkle said.
"Three!" AppleJack said.
Then the three of them started to sing a song.
"A True True Friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
To see the light that shines from a true true friend"
After a minute or so of the song Emilymena stopped paying attention to the resemblance of the animatronics and three of the foals and instead, enjoyed the animatronic's singing.
Paying so much attention to the main stage however, had made her unaware that Princess Celestia had left them alone in the Dining Area with only themselves and the robots.
"Alright kids, stallions and mares! The show is over for now. BUT you can go over to Daring's Hut and watch Daring Do preform if you'd like!" The Twilight animatronic said, lowering her mic while the music abruptly stopped.
Just as it said that, the foals went around the corner to a small hut-like house with a sign saying: "Daring's Hut" on it.
But before Emilymena could take a single step to follow the others, someone tapped her on her right shoulder.
When she turned around, she saw Princess Celestia standing right in front of her with a smile that creeped her out a bit. "Um...hi p-princess." Emilymena said, intimidated. After a few seconds, Emilymena broke the silence. "Um..oh, will you look at the time, I'd best be going! Bye!" With that, Emilymena galloped towards a filly who was a bit behind everypony else.
After she caught up to the foal she smiled and spoke to her. "Hi! I'm Emilymena! What your name!?" Due to the gap between them, the small Pegasus filly had to stop to hear her.
"What did you say?" The orange Pegasus asked. "I said my..my name is Emilymena. What's your name?" Emilymena replied, caughting her breath. The small pegasus in front of her had an orange coat and magenta eyes. Her cutie mark was a compass.
"My name is Daring Do." Daring Do replied.
"Don't you think it's weird that the animatronic that we're going to has the same name as you?" Emilymena asked, walking along side Daring Do.
"Honestly, I sort of rubbed it off as a coincidence. Like how there are three animatronics here that look and have two that have the same names as Twilight, and AppleJack. Heck, even vinyl scratch's nick name at school is DJ Pon3!" Daring Do replied.
"Wait! How do you know Vinyl's nick name?" Emilymena asked, shock and confusion in her eyes.
"We go to the same school." Daring Do replied.
Once Daring Do said that they had made it to Daring's Hut.
"Welcome to Daring's Hut, Kids! My name is Daring Do and I'm here to read you stories about my adventures while saving our majestic land of Equestria!" The animatronic Daring Do said.
