Apple Bloom’s return had brought much joy to the school, Tempest was busy preparing herself and Sunset for the trip to Camp Everfree the next morning. She heard a knock on the door and opened it revealing three men in black suits, she frowned “What may ask are you there here?” 

The one on the left who held an air of one from the upper classes smiled “Forgive us for coming so late at night but there something important we need to discuss with you.”

Tempest frowned “Who are you three anyway?” 

The one on the left bowed “Forgive my rudeness, I am Mystic, Head of Unicorn. The one next to me is Storm Signal, Head of Pegasus and the Third is Tremor Strike, Head of Gaian.” 

Tempest frowned “Come in, I would love to know what the heads of Alicorn want with me.” 

The three sat down at her dining table, Tremor the largest of the three growled “Plain and simple we want you help, strange things have been going on all over the world and with you being see at all the strange events going on in this area we wish for your help.” 

Tempest frowned “I assume you are the one keep the strange events here top secret so the FBI and CIA don’t come here and start capturing people correct?”

Tempest sighed “I suppose I owe you all for that, very well I’ll help but only if you can’t handle it on your own or you believe they are friendly, if it doesn’t fit either those two categories I’d rather not be called up as someone else could easily be called up and I will start after the trip to Camp Everfree is over. No point going to capture a hostile but harmless creature that can be captured by stun darts is there.” 

Storm Signal nodded “That is acceptable, just note you may be away for multiple days.” 

Tempest nodded “I can make arrangements.” The trio left shortly afterwords, Tempest finished the preparations for the night. 

The next morning Sunset groaned as she woke up “Mum it’s early.” 

Tempest frowned “Yes but we do need to leave early for the trip to Camp Everfree.” Sunset groaned as she got out of bed and had a quick shower. Tempest meanwhile was shoving all of their gear for the trip into her car. 

Sunset asked as she got into the car “Is the camp a fun place to go?”

Tempest grinned “You’ll love it, you get to spend a lot of time outside and do all kinds of activities.”

Sunset raised an eyebrow “Rarity was really excited, that seems a little out of character for her. She doesn’t like to rough it.” 

Tempest smiled “They probably have cabins now, they won’t likely to rough it like we did.” They soon arrived at the school, Tempest smiled “How’s everything going, it seems everyone is here.” 

Celestia smiled “Could you help us pack everyone’s stuff, we have a lot that needs to fit in there.” Tempest nodded as she began stuffing people’s bags into the bus’ storage compartment while Sunset had put her stuff in and boarded the bus.

Discord approached “Hurry it up will you, I want to get going already.”

Tempest raised an eyebrow as grinned “Do you want to join the luggage, it would be easy as one, two, three?” Discord gulped before running into the bus, Tempest chuckled as she put the rest of the luggage in the bus and took a seat, she closed her eyes. 

She hummed silently until the bus reared back, she turned around to see three girls who had snuck onto the bus. She shrugged and laid back down to relax until they got off and she inevitably had to remove the luggage from the bus.
