As the dusk approached, Chrysalis spotted Twilight along the shore. Normally, a hasty retreat would be her response to such a vulnerable predicament. However, that wasn't the case due to the day's marvelous uniquity. Despite the follies of equine diarchy, the anniversary of its establishment had remained untarnished.
So pure in fact that Chrysalis' inclusion warranted less than a raised brow. Perhaps it was due to the presence of the princesses at the celebration. Maybe her collective mentality was so strong that inclusion to any gathering overrode her aggressive behavior periodically.
Having caught Chrysalis staring, Twilight made her way through the crowd. It wasn't long til the rivals stood hoof to hoof. "Lovely evening isn't it," she uncharacteristically greeted.
"What are you doing here," Twilight deadpanned.
"I'm here to enjoy Equestria's Centennial Celebration" came her catty reply. Narrowing their eyes, they attempted to stare down the other.
