Chapter 15 – Planning
While Twilight and Mystic were enjoying their newfound relationship with each other, there was something stirring in Ponyville. More specifically, Sugarcube Corner, while normally closed for the evening, had its lights on. There four ponies waited in anticipation for something to happen.
“So, can anypony tell me why we’re all here,” Applejack asked her friends.
“I don’t really know,” Fluttershy responded softly, “I just got a message from Pinkie Pie saying to come here and it was urgent.”
“I received a message about that, too,” Rarity said, “I hope it’s nothing troubling.”
“I hope it’s not Pinkie having us try out a new dessert,” Rainbow Dash said, “She made me east an entire cake once. I could barely fly home!”
The chatter was immediately silenced by Pinkie Pie appearing from the kitchen. She was dressed in a green military uniform with various awards on it, including a cupcake shaped one. Her look was completed by black combat boots and a helmet.
“Fellow friends and bearers of the Elements of Harmony, I have brought you here tonight to address a certain crisis we are facing. Now many of you know that there has recently been a change in our midst, some of you noting it more than others. I have it on good authority that this change will not cause any disruption in our plans as friends but should be nonetheless regarded to the utmost degree and…”
“Pinkie Pie,” Applejack said, “We already know that Twilight and Mystic are special someponies with each other.”
Pinkie stopped her military routine in shock that her friends knew about the couple.
“Really? You all knew? How did that happem?”
“Well,” Rarity said, “Rainbow Dash heard it from Twilight and Mystic, so she told Applejack, Fluttershy, and of course myself.”
“An' frankly it wasn’t a big mystery,” Applejack said, “Ah’ mean, when ah’ first laid my eyes on those two it looked like somethin’ was up.”
“I saw that too,” Fluttershy, “oh, they looked so cute together as a couple.”
“That Mystic really has a place in my book for making Twilight so happy,” Rainbow Dash replied.
“Alright girls,” Pinkie Pie said as she pulled off her military uniform, “Since all of you know what’s going on with Twilight and Mystic, I’m just going to skip right to the heart of things. I think it would be nice to give the two a romantic evening.”
“Oh what a lovely idea,” Rarity said.
“Yes, it sounds very nice,” Fluttershy added.
“So, how can we help,” Rainbow Dash.
“I though you’d never ask,” Pinkie pie said as she rolled in a chalkboard. On the board were the names of her friends and a particular task. “Applejack, I need you to whip up a great meal for the two.”
“Sure thing,” the orange mare said tipping her hat.
“Rainbow Dash, I need you to clear the skies of any clouds so that the two can enjoy a great starry night.”
“You got it,” the Pegasus said.
“Fluttershy, can you bring your bird choir so they can serenade the two?”
“Absolutely,” she said.
“And Rarity, can you do some decorating for this event?”
“Why it would be my pleasure,” the unicorn replied.
“And I am going to make sure the couple shows up!”
“How are you goin’ to do that,” Applejack said.
“Oh don’t worry about that! Just make sure everything is ready for tomorrow evening here outside. Friends dismissed!”
The four ponies left Sugarcube Corner with their task presented. Pinkie Pie smiled as she closed the door and turned the lights out in the store.
“This is going to be so great,” she said as she went up to bed to rest up before what would be a busy next day.
