Opening Act: Friendship is Calling

OPENING ACT

Rarity and Rainbow Dash had been summoned to the Friendship Palace as their cutie-marks were glowing. “I wonder what the map is calling us to this time.” wondered Rainbow.

“Whatever the reason, I do hope it is someplace rather glamourous.” said Rarity, but then she got a hole of herself, “Uh, I mean, I also hope we can solve whatever is going on wrong.”

They arrived at the palace, and soon they along with Princess Twilight and Spike were seated at the map and got a good look at the location. “What? The problem is right here in Ponyville?” Rarity asked.

 
Twilight nodded and motioned at the map. “The map’s even called me to come with you two on this mission, I don’t know why, but there must be some-pony having a serious friendship crisis.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Rainbow cried with such enthusiasm, and she flew off so quickly she crashed into a stone column, crumpling it.

“I’m good.” she called.

“Oh, Rainbow...!” groaned Spike.



Soon the friends were on their way, which wasn’t actually far away to go seeing as the area was just a mile away from the palace itself. “Any-pony see anything?” asked Rainbow.

All any of them could see were ponies all happy, going about their business, playing on a beautiful day or sharing with one another, but not a sign of anyone who was having a friendship problem.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone shouting, “Get back here!” and that’s when a tannish yellow Earth Pony with a short brown mane and a Cuitemark in the picture of a spotlight, came galloping down the road yelling behind him “Get away from me!” and he galloped right past the gang making such a zooming wind that blew their manes in tangles, Spike fell off Twilight’s back.

“My mane…!” Rarity screamed.

Then, a second Earth Pony, a mare whom was bright yellow with a blue and pink streaked mane came rushing along. Her cutiemark was that of an Olympic medal. “Just wait ‘til I get my hoofs on you!” she shouted as she galloped along, but unlike the stallion, she accidently crashed right into the gang and they all fell into a huge pile.

“Oh, my gosh…!” she cried “Princess Twilight Sparkle… I’m, ever so sorry!”

Twilight and her friends got up, and before any of them could say anything, the very Stallion the mare was chasing, her older brother stood and glared angrily at her!

“Get it straight Ath-Lita…!” he sneered at her “You can chase me and beat me all you like, I’m not interested, and wonder why I avoid you!”

His sister growled angrily, “Talon Ted, you are so stupid it’s not even funny. You have a real opportunity and…!”

 “I don’t even hear you!” her brother scoffed, and he put his hoofs over his ears humming loudly was he went off!

Ath-Lita angrily stomped her hoof the ground, while the gang gawked at her, “I think we found the problem victims.” said Rainbow.
