About two hours later, Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, the CMC, and Rarity arrived at Rarity’s boutique. “Hoo-wee, that was quite a day,” Applejack the paladin said with a stretch and a yawn.

“Thanks for letting us crash for the night, Rares,” Rainbow said as she however over to the couch on the main floor. Everyone, even Scootaloo groaned at the antics of the elementalist. 

“No problem,” Rarity said as she levitated Rainbow off of the couch. “You all know where the showers are…” Rarity was then cut off by a knock at her door. “Oh for Heaven’s sake, who’s knocking at this hour.” Rarity groaned as she walked to the door and opened it, “Good evening, while I appreciate your want of business, but we’re closed.” Rarity said with her eyes closed. She then opened them and saw it was Brighteyes in her uniform. “Oh Brighteyes, what are you doing here so late in the day?”

Brighteyes then reached into her bag, “Special delivery, all the way from Midnight Castle,” she then pulled out an envelope. “Just came in.”

Rarity sighed as she accepted the envelope, “By chance are there similar letters to this for Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Princess Twilight Sparkle?” the enchantress asked. Brighteyes nodded as the five others joined Rarity at the door, “They are all here. So let me take them off your hands and you can head home to get some sleep.”  Brighteyes pulled out the other letters, handed them and waved goodnight to them.

“They’re from Sci-Twi.” Pinkie said as she opened her letter. She gasped, “We’ve been invited to a cruise to celebrate Sunset’s Birthday!”
