During breakfast, Spike felt as if he had a terrible stomachache. He gave an abruptly loud belch, and a flame shot from his mouth. Twilight shielded her pancakes, and watched the flame turn into a snowflake. Excitedly, she opened it up.

Dear Friends and Family,
You are invited to the Crystal Empire for a special event in three days. Our daughter, Flurry Heart, is turning one year old. Please be so kind as to bring presents for her, and enjoy the games that we have planned to have for you. This will be a great day.
Signed, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor

Twilight began to get a gift ready for her niece, as her friends scattered and did the same. Starlight went to tell Trixie about this, and got a surprise herself.
"I got an invitation as well. I have never seen Flurry Heart.", Trixie replied.
"Well, there is always a first time.", said Starlight.
