Twilight was out and about in Ponyville, determined to get her letter to her mentor before sundown. Spike wasn't any help to her cause, having no problems to she could solve. The first thing Twilight did, was, as she usually did in stressful situations, talk to herself. "you got this Twilight, you still have plenty of time to get tat letter to Princess Celestia." she looked around town "There has to be someone around here that some kind of problem I can solve" 

As if by magic, as soon as Twilight asked herself, Rarity let out a very loud, very dramatic scream. Twilight eyes sparkled as she heard her friend scream, but she quickly realized that this was Rarity, not just that, but the selfish Rarity that she hasn't even seen in weeks. She decided to enter, but with a bit more caution. This was a smart idea, because as soon as she opened to the boutique tons of random shit came rolling out. Gems,, stones, toys, fabric, apples, you name it. "Don't worry Rarity, I'm here!" Inside the cluttered store lay Rarity, a few shades duller, just like the last time Twilight saw her, crying and repeatedly saying "why"

Rarity looked up at the pony that just entered her house. "You!" she screamed, charging at Twilight running through the pile of random stuff Rarity suddenly thought were the most valuable things in the world. Twilight instantly started galloping away.

"What are you doing? What's going on?" Twilight turned her head around while still running.

"Stop playing dumb Twilight, I know you took him." Rarity yelled.

"Who?" Twilight asked

"Tom! My dear, precious Tom! You took him so you can fix me or whatever the hell you are going to do, you were going to use him in your experim-" Twilight turned around to see why Rarity ad stopped talking. Seeing her hugging a large stone, guessing it was 'Tom' she simply ignored it. But other ponies, were much more confused

"No need to panic, Rarity is just one pony. I'm sure some other ponies have problems I can solve"

She looked at the air and saw a rainbow streak. "Rainbow Dash?" Twilight had a confused look on her face "But she left for cloudsdale, why would she be at Sweet Apple Acres?" Looking down at where the rainbow was landing there was a damaged barn, with Applejack hiding in a ditch.

"Rainbow must be mad at Applejack!" Twilight couldn't figure out if she should be happy because she finally found a friendship problem, or sad that her friends were fighting. "Rainbow, what's going on?" 

Applejack butted in "err, Nothing" she, most likely, lied.

Rainbow rolled her eyes"What happened is that Applejack said that she made cider early this season, but that was not true, she fed me blended up apple tree branches. So now I'm getting her back and going home." 

Twilight smiled slightly, she found a problem with time to spare. "Girls, you need to stop fighting, Rainbow, if you destroy the barn, Applejack won't be able to store her cider and have to make less. and Applejack, if you treat your most paying customer, you have another thing coming"

Rainbow sighed "Fine, but only because I like cider so much, see you jackasses later"

Applejack yelled as Rainbow flew away "I'm not a donkey!"

"Hopefully, this is over" Twilight started headed back home.


Dear Princess Celestia, 
Today I learned that you should never
hold a grudge against your friends.
No matter what they did to anger you. 
and that holding that grudge, can't help
either of you in the end
Your Faithful (And pretty annoyed by her friends) student
Twilight Sparkle
