At Twilight's request, the rest of the mane six had gathered in the grand chamber of the friendship castle, each seated upon their respective thrones. All of the group (excepting Applejack and Twilight) were discussing their upcoming nuptials, and each mare was simply brimming with happiness over the return of their special someponies.
" Slick wants to have a spring wedding in Manehatten!" Rarity squealed, tapping her hooves against the table in excitement. "Can you believe it? I'm going to have the most beautiful wedding dress in all of Equestria!"
"You think that's neat? Hopper and I are going to have a wild and crazy wedding party in Los Pegasus!" Pinkie squealed, hopping up and down in her seat in excitement. "You're all invited, and it's gonna be a blast!"
"Ha! You think that's great?" Rainbow Dash laughed. "Sureshot and are are gonna have a Wonderbolts-style wedding!"
"All right, that's enough!" Twilight demanded, sitting down in the throne angrily. "We don't need to hear about all of your wonderful wedding plans right now! We have more important things to worry about that how you four are getting married!"
"Ummm, Twilight I don't mean to be rude, but..." Fluttershy replied, quietly but iwth a little of the assertion she had picked up over the past few years. "But just because you're not happy with Booker, doesn't mean the rest of us should be upset at our stallions."
"Indeed Twilight!" Rarity agreed. "This is a happy occasion for the rest of us, please don't spoil it just because you are upset, darling!"
"Twilight's raight, what's wrong with y'all?" Applejack agreed. "The return of yer fellers also means Grogar maight return, 'cause if the stallions found their way back, y'all cain bet yer bottoms that that ornery goat and his troggle army will find their way back, too."
"Not don't be absurd, Applejack!" Rarity insisted angrily. "Slick has already told me Booker closed the portal behind them, and there is no way Grogar's forces could follow them through!"
"But remember girls, Grogar has his really powerful magic bell." Fluttershy added timidly. "Maybe he could somehow find his way back through the doorway, and attack all of Equestria!"
"Awww, don't worry worry about that creepy ol' Grogar!" Pinkie giggled, hopping up and down in her throne. "If Hopper says that old goat isn't coming back, then we're never gonna see him again!"
"While Pinkie Pie is probably being far too optimistic about Grogar's potential return, there are more important things threatening Equestria right now." Princess Twilight pointed out, levitating several books and pamphlets onto the table. "For example, it has come to my attention that somepony has been distributing books, comics and other literature all around Equestria that is based on our lives and adventures, but totally twists all of the facts around about what happened!"
"Only you would find a bunch of books with wrong information would be a bigger crisis than Grogar, darling." Rarity laughed, shaking her head. "Don't you think you're getting your priorities out of order?"
"Rarity, we deal with monsters and villains all the time, they are easy to beat!" twilight Sparkle replied, flexing her wings angrily. "But misinformation? That's an enemy we can't afford to lose to!"
"Twilight's right about this one!" Rainbow Dash interjected, holding up the newest Daring Do book in her wings. "Somepony is putting out unauthorized books that really mess stuff up! They have Tirek and Grogar being waaaaay older than all of us, and make them ancient enemies of Equestria! They have Twilight going to some other world through a weird mirror, and turning into a monkey-like creature on the other side!"
"They get a whole bunch of other stuff wrong, too." Twilight agreed. "Like the Sea ponies being transformed Hippogriffs, instead of experiments from Tambleon! Or starswirl the breaded and the pillars of Equestria showing up in the modern day, when they all died thousands of years ago!"
"Could somepony be trying to tarnish our reputations?" Fluttershy asked, in her usual timid voice. "I mean, Equestria still has a few enemies, maybe they are trying to turn other ponies against us?"
"I don't think that's what they're trying to do, Fluttershy." Twilight added. "The fake stories still make us look good, but they still distort the truth a lot!"
"Look, Twilight Darling... both of these problems should be looked into, but we still have our weddings to plan." Rarity added. "So until we have something tangible on Grogar or these lies somepony is printing, why don't you look into these problems yourself, while the rest of us get back to pour impending nuptials?"
As Flutteryshy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity all left the room, only Applejack stayed with a deeply concerned Twilight as she began to pace the room.
"This is no good, A.J., none of the others are taking my worries seriously." The alicorn princess said with a sigh. "I don't know, maybe I am making too much out of all this."
"Don't worry none about it, Twi. I'll help y'all look into the tall tales somepony is writin' about us." The earth pony reassured her friend. "In the meantime, maybe we should have Starlight Glimmer work with Booker, and look into the problem themselves?"
"That's a really good idea, A.J.!" Twilight agreed, nodding. We can kill two parasprites with one stone... and maybe I can use this as a way to start and apologize to Booker for how I acted."
"Already starting to regret how you treated your feller, huh?" The cowpony chuckled. "I reckoned y'all would feel bad once ya'll cooled off."
"Ohhh, I was just so angry at him, A.J.!" Her ears drooped, as Twilight and her friend trotted their way out of the throne room. "I don't care what his reasons were, Booker should have contacted me as soon as he and the stallions got back to our dimension!"
"Sugar cube, y'all will find stallions will always do their own thang, no matter how stupid it seems." Applejack laughed. "If y'all cain't deal with it, then you'll be driven loco by the third year of yer marriage."
"Wow, you seem to know a lot about stallions." Princess Twilight grinned. "It's amazing you don't have a lifebond partner yourself."
"Aww, no stallion out thar is strong enough fer me." A.J. chuckled. "It's going to take a stallion who's like Lightning ta win mah heart!"
