Ponyville Library early morning, Pinkie, Twilight, and Spike have been living under the same roof. It's been sometime 12:30 local time when Pinkie barged in the library tree house.
"Good news everypony, we've sealed the deal at Applewood! And we got a new title for it. it's called My Little Kingdom For The Pony: Diplomacy Is Magic., The Franchise is not strong enough for the movie yet. But I started working on it, and they've been saying that if everything is going to be okay, they might consider it."
"That's great Pinkie, what the catch?" asked Twilight.
"The catch is that they don't know what to do. I mean the times have become edgier, and media standards have changed. Expect the unexpected, that's is the new game."
"U huh, well what do you want me to do about it?" Twilight already became disinterested, honestly, this wasn't her concern.
"How about this?" Pinkie Pie threw the letter to the Twilight's table.
"What is this!" Twilight took a glance at it "Oh you son of a bitch!"
"Language!"
"Applejack when did you get in here!" Twilight acted surprised at the sudden appearance of the apple pony.
"Since the morning, I was doing the research to improve apple bucking business model. You know just because everyone thinks I belong to the hillbilly stereotype, it doesn't mean I am not educated."
Rainbow Dash snickered, "you said bucking."
"Oh, don't you even start."
"Actually Rainbow has a legitimate concern, why do you insist on kicking the trees to harvest the apples? There is only so much abuse the fruit like apples are willing to take," Twilight threw the letter in the trash.
"It's been a tradition to do so for many many years, and most of it is just being stubborn. So anyway before we stray from the main topic, what was In that letter Twilight.
"I don't really want to talk about it, but since the issue is going to be public knowledge pretty soon, so with that I pretty much can tell you myself."
"Your older brother is making a political marriage to the Princess MI Amore Cadenza, which has been publicly recognized by the High Princess Celestia and High Princess Luna, but you yourself disapprove of this silly tradition? "
"That pretty much sums it up, and well some traditions are pretty stupid and regress a progress." Twilight put the paperwork down on the table. "But there is nothing I can do about it. Pinkie, if they want their reality show to be an edgy one I might be able to provide a solution and create a revolution in the process. Or if not we would still be heroes."
"Sure thing Twilight, I'll just go and call them to set up a camera crew in Canterlot Castle."
"I'll pretend like we didn't just hear you talking about overthrowing the government," Rainbow Dash has been reading latest Daring Do book.
"Yeah!" Twilight giggled nervously, "hahaha! You are so funny Rainbow Dash me overthrowing the government, hahaha."
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up I don't really care as long as I get my books."
"Aren't you worried, that this is kind of a bribery." Applejack went to another shelf of the library.
"Bribery to whom? I don't even belong to the Canterlot's Department, therefore this is outside of my jurisdiction of the action, and before you ask I am not telling you my secrets." Rainbow Dash kept looking at the book.
"Pff, half of us already knows about it, so why don't you just..."
"I said no, and that's final!" Rainbow cut Applejack off, with that finishing off their arguments.
Twilight Sparkle has been standing at the entrance of the Changelings hive, she came there because she had a business to attend. it just so happens that the hive located in the Canterlot's caves. Those caves have been used for mining of crystal, but since the caves have become government property and therefore came under the natural resources protection act that forbids mining industries in all or nearby major Equestrian cities...
Pinkie Pie came to the black room and kicked the exposition machine "Uhh, that's better! Now we can continue to the main event."
"So what is it you want our dearest benefactor," the self-proclaimed Queen Chrysalis, former Administrator Unit of a Changelings Automata have been patiently waiting for her uninvited guest to speak up.
"Call it a little favor, you scratch my back I'll scratch yours!" Twilight Sparkle has been standing right in between the two changeling guard units.
"A favor huh, what do I get out of it?"
"The opportunity to kick Celestia's flunk?" Twilight offered with her innocent smile.
"Oh, I think I like you my little pony, how should I put this, I can smell ambition from you, miss Ambassador. Now then why don't you tell me your devious plan."
Twilight smiled and then started to whisper right into the Chrysalis's ear, "Well it goes like this, *whisper, * whisper, *whisper, *whisper."
"I didn't expect you to be so evil Twilight," Rarity has been having a bi-weekly tea with Twilight. "Do you still prefer your tea with honey?"
"Evil, who me? I am just misbehaving. Why Is it everypony expects you to be the one to be so cold and manipulative? We both know you are one of the nicest ponies around in the Royal Court of Canterlot, and yes my taste in tea didn't change." Twilight accepted a cup of tea in her telekinetic hold. "Also I made a promise to Pinkie."
"Uh, that's reality show of hers? Who is the producer anyway?"
"High Princess Celestia sponsoring it herself. She said she likes the idea of irresponsible Princess sending a ragtag bunch of misfits to save the kingdom from the ruin, and High Princess Luna finds the whole idea amusing."
"So it's an action show then?"
"You could say that." Twilight looked a bit bored "Tell me in which Department does Rainbow Dash belong?"
"Why the sudden curiosity?" Rarity narrowed her eyes.
"I've searched every single bureaucratic record I could think of, and I never saw anything about her, it's like she doesn't even exist, "Twilight laid back on the chair. "She doesn't answer to the Cloudsdale Independent Republic, she doesn't answer to the Canterlot Royal District, Mayor Mare has been extremely vague about what happened during the incident several years ago. So I ask again, to which Department does Rainbow Dash answers to. "
Rarity sighed "I was hoping I could just keep it for at least a year, but you will soon find out about this anyway."
"What exactly I will find out?"
"Empire!" Rarity uttered a single word.
"Excuse me!" Twilight's boredom evaporated.
"Empire!" Rarity looked at Twilight with a bit of curiosity "The reason Rainbow Dash doesn't answer to any known Departments is that she answers directly to the authority of the Empire, the Empire which will soon return."
"And you just telling me this?"
"I don't see why not? Besides like I said you will find out about this anyway in about a year or so, or how Pinkie Pie likes to put it in the next season."
"What will happen next year?"
"Big changes, Twilight, big changes! Now if you excuse me I think this is enough tea for me." With that Rarity winked out from the Boutique.
Twilight shrugged and took the cookies, "chocolate chip my favorite."
