	"Applejack?" Called Applebloom. "Applebloom? Is that you?" Applejack turned around to find a little girl with red hair and orange eyes. "Oh! It is you! Wait...... WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN CANTERLOT? I THOUGHT YOU WERE STILL IN PONYVILLE! IT'S DANGEROUS HERE! DONT YOU KNOW NOT TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT ME OR BIG MACINTOSH?" yelled Applejack. "Well, me and the cutie mark crusaders wanted to see why you were sent to Canterlot, and-" Applebloom was cut off by Applejack, "Well, at least you're here with me. Now, I have somebody I want you to meet. I met him today, and we've been practicing all day." Applejack stepped out of the way and introduced her to a tall, confident-looking man. "Applebloom, this is Silverstrike. Silverstrike, this is my sister Applebloom." The little girl looked up at the man and said, "Nice to meet yah!", Then shook his and vigorously. "You two look a lot alike. I have a little brother, about the same age as you. His name is-" Silverstrike was cut off by a horn signaling the beginning of night. "well, we best be goin' to our dorms now. Nice to practice with ya, Silverstrike." said Applejack. He bowed, and then walked away to go discuss the war tactics with his commander. "Now, Applebloom. You and the crusader can sleep in the dorm next to mine and Rarity's. Go get the other girls and tell them where they are sleeping." Said Applejack. 
As Applebloom ran off to Go get her friends, The other elements walked over to Princess Celestia, so Applejack followed, too. "Girls, these storm clouds are not ones that we made. These clouds were made by the spirit of the people who are attacking. We have no idea how violent these clouds are, so stay indoors, and be in the throne room at seven o'clock. We need to discuss tactics with your teams. Remember, This war can be the worst thing Equestria has seen in all it's years, so be prepared." Said Princess Celestia. "Now wait one little minute, The cutie mark crusaders came so where are they going to sleep?" asked Pinkie pie. "I let them use that room next to me so I can watch them and see they don't go around makin' trouble." Said Applejack. "Goodnight, everybody. I will see you all At seven A.M." said Twilight Sparkle. 
As the girls walked to their room, Fluttershy walked slower than the others. Sweetie belle saw her and said, "Whats wrong, Fluttershy? Why are you walking slow?" Fluttershy whispered, "Well, with all of this talk about war, i'm scared. I'm not a war person. I  don't like blood, or people getting killed, or anything of the sort!" Fluttershy started crying. "There. there, it's OK, Fluttershy, we will all discuss it tomorrow. You might not even have to be in it. You could just watch from a cloud and have your animals and nature take things for you." Said Sweetie belle. "This is my room, Fluttershy. See you in the morning!" "Goodnight." Whispered Fluttershy. When Sweetie belle opened the door to her room, she couldn't believe her eyes. There were two beds, a bathroom, a HUGE window, and the room was... PINK! "Wow, guys! This room is amazing!" Scootaloo grunted, "Yeah, because it's pink. YOUR favorite color. Not my favorite color." "You girls, stop fighting, lets get some sleep. Besides, I am whooped from today." Said Applebloom. "Yep. Better get some shut eye. We have to get up early tomorrow, so goodnight everybody" Said Scootaloo.  "Goodnight, guys." Said Sweetie belle. 
When morning came, Twilight Sparkle quickly got dressed, combed through her hair, and picked up her magic spear. "Today, we can finally get something done. Thank god!" she said. Then, she walked out of her room and went to get everybody else up. "Wake up, Fluttershy! Time to eat break-" Fluttershy opened the door, already dressed, and ready to go. Fluttershy giggled, "Twilight! Don't you know that I always get up early to feed the animals?" Twilight Sparkle said, "Oh yeah. I knew that. Can you wake up Applejack, and Rarity? I'll Pinkie pie And Rainbow Dash. Got it?" Fluttershy answered, "Got it.", and headed down the hallway to wale Applejack and Rarity. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. "Rainbow Dash! Wake up! It's already six thirty!" Twilight said. "Go away!" she heard. "Rainbow dash, Get up! We need to see Princess Celestia!" Twilight answered. "Go, away!" she heard. Twilight opened Rainbow Dash's door to find her laying in her bed, half asleep. "RAINBOW DASH! GET UP RIGHT NOW!" Twilight yelled. "You can't make me." Rainbow Dash said. "When we get down there, we can have breakfast!"twilight pursuaded. Rainbow dash shot up, fully awake and said, "I'll be out in five minuets." Twilight closed the door and walked down to Pinkie Pie's room. "Pinkie Pie, Get up! It's time for Breakfast!" She said. Twilight Sparkle opened Pinkies door and saw Pinkie Pie putting on her left shoe. "I'm ready! Where's the food?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Downstairs." Said Twilight. When they were done they got Rainbow Dash, and went to get Fluttershy.
"Hello? Applejack? Wake up. It's time to meet the princess." Said Fluttershy. "Oh, Darnet! I must've slept in! I'll be out in a jiffy, Fluttershy." "OK. I'll wake up Rarity now." Fluttershy said. When she walked over to Rarity's door, She hears the sound of loud snoring. "Hello? Rarity? Get up!" Said Fluttershy. No answer. Fluttershy opened the door to see rarity still in bed. "Rarity! Wake up! Its time for breakfast!" Rarity complained, "Can't a girl get her beauty sleep?" Futtershy turned on the lights. "Now Rarity, if you don't get up we wont be prepared for this war." Said Fluttershy. "Alright. Fine. But only because the princess ordered me to." In a minuet or two Rarity was out. "Lets go see how the others are holding up." Said Rarity. "But rarity! You forgot your crown!" Said Fluttershy. "Oh, goodness! I'll go get it." When she came back, Rarity had the crown on her head, and was wearing another outfit. "Oh, Rarity! Another outfit! You just had one on!" complained Fluttershy. "But the colors were so boring, Darling." Said Rarity. "Oh, well. Now that we both have our 'weapons', let' go find the others." Said Fluttershy. When they passed Applejacks bedroom, she came out with her sword and said, "Hey yall! Where are the others?" "Down the hall. We need to go get them." Said Rarity. Right as she said that, Twilight showed up with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash. Do you have Your bow?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "Well, let me see. It surly can't be in my right hand because I have a BOW in that hand!" said Rainbow dash. "I was just checking, Rainbow dash." Said Twilight Sparkle. Now, I have my spear, and Pinkie has her mouth, and you have your bow, so I think we are clear to go." Said Twilight sparkle. Pinkie started giggling. "What now?", Asked an annoyed Twilight. " Your sentence rhymed a little bit.", Pinkie giggled. "Lets just go." Said Rainbow Dash. As they started walking, they heard Fluttershy's voice. "Fluttershy, did you wake up the others?" Twilight asked. "She sure as sugar did, Twi." Said Applejack. "Does everybody have their weapons?" said Twilight. Everyone nodded. "Then let's go get some food!" Said Rainbow dash. "Um, I think you mean talk to the Princesses?" Said Twilight. "Nope, I meant let's go get some food!" Said Rainbow Dash. Applejack rolled her eyes while they walked down to the throne room.
