Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were now adult mares. Both now had their towers. Twilight Sparkle was reading a book. Until she heard Spike belch a parchment. Twilight Sparkle picked up the parchment and read what was written, dear Twilight, we need you and Sunset Shimmer in the throne room now, signed Princess Celestia.
Twilight Sparkle was racing fast into the throne room. Sunset Shimmer was trying to catch up with her, “Twilight, don’t run too fast”
Twilight Sparkle looked back as she continued to run, “I can’t, Sunset. The princesses need us in the throne room”
“Is that a reason to run?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
“Yeah, because maybe they want to talk to us urgently. They’ll be mad at us if we don’t get there in time”, replied Twilight Sparkle in a panic.
“Twilight, they would never get mad at us. Try to calm down”, said Sunset Shimmer, still running.
Twilight Sparkle stopped running for breath to try to calm down, “Yeah. You’re right, Sunset, it’s just that I don’t want to disappoint them, especially Princess Celestia”
“Don’t worry, Twilight,” smiled Sunset Shimmer. “I’m sure what they’re going to say isn’t going to be anything to do with us doing an important job”
“You go to Ponyville”, said Celestia. Luna was at her side.
Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer had their mouths open. Would Celestia banish them away from Canterlot? “Are you banished us from Canterlot?” asked Twilight Sparkle in Panic.
Celestia laughed, “No, Twilight. It’s just for you and Sunset to get the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration”
Twilight Sparkle jumped for joy. She loves this festival. As Sunset Shimmer let out a sigh of irritation. She didn’t like this festival. Luna and Celestia looked at the Sunset Shimmer. Celestia looked confused, she didn’t understand why the Sunset Shimmer didn’t like the Summer Sun Celebration. While Luna smiled at the Sunset Shimmer, she didn’t like the summer celebration either. Ever since her subjects were awake during the damn day Celestia brought in while her night was averted. Well, except for Sunset Shimmer, who stayed up all night. She knew the yellow unicorn loved her night. Wait, why did she think that?
“I’ll give you a list of what you and Sunset should look at”, said Celestia, handing Twilight Sparkle a rolled parchment. Twilight Sparkle took the scroll with its magic.
“I’m going to prepare the carriage for Twilight”, said Celestia.
“And I go to Sunset”, said Luna.
The carriage of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were quite different. While Twilight’s chariot was golden and solar guards led the chariot. Sunset Shimmer’s was purple in color with lunar guards leading the chariot.
Twilight Sparkle asked Spike as she carried the parchment with his magic, “Spike, could you help us check the list on Ponyville?”
Spike took the parchment, “Sure, Twilight. After all, I’m your number one assistant”
As the two carriages descended, Sunset Shimmer got out of the carriage and Twilight Sparkle got out of the carriage and thanked the Solar Guards.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle went to Spike, “what’s the first thing we should do?”
Spike opened the parchment and read what was written, “Food: Sweet Apple Acres”
Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Sunset Shimmer were walking until a pink pony jumped scared before running away. They looked back confused, “wow. That really was something”
Sunset Shimmer, Spike and Twilight Sparkle arrived on the farm and heard hoofbeats. They looked to the left and saw an orange terrestrial pony running up to an apple tree and kicking. The apples fell in the baskets they had near the trees. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Spike went to the mare, “Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle and the pony by my side is Sunset Shimmer”
The mare took a Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer hull as she greeted, “As Sunset and Twilight pleasure, it’s a pleasure to meet your people.I’m Applejack, and here at Sweet Apple Acres, we like to make new friends”
Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer seemed overwhelmed by Applejack’s strength to swing the two hooves.
Applejack stopped shaking both hooves and asked, “So, what can I do, ladies?”
But the hooves of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer kept swinging up and down. Spike touched her hooves to stop them from moving. That done, he closed his eyes as he held the laughter.
“We are here to oversee preparations for the summer sun celebration. Are you responsible for the food?” said Twilight Sparkle.
“You bet I am. Want to prove something?” said Applejack.
“As long as it doesn’t take too long ...” said Twilight Sparkle, hoping it wouldn’t be delayed.
Applejack touched a triangle, before shouting, “buoy time, Everypony!”
Sunset Shimmer, Spike and Twilight Sparkle looked back, only to end up being pushed by a multitude of running earth ponies. They ended up taking the three of them to an outdoor table under a gazebo.
“Now, let me introduce you to the whole apple family”, said Applejack.
“Thank you, but we’re really in a hurry ...” tried to get out Twilight Sparkle, just to appear a food at her side.
Then, Applejack started to introduce her family, “These are Apple Fritter, Apple Bucking, Fried Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Carmen Apple, Apple Stumer, Apple Tarapple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Cris ...”
Applejack took a breath before Continue, “Big Mactoshi, Apple bloom and ...”
Applejack picked up two green apples and put one in the mouth of Sunset Shimmer and another in the mouth of Twilight Sparkle before continuing, “Granny Smith. Wake up. We have a visit”
There was an old pony in a rocking chair asleep, but she woke up soon, “W-what? Buoy time? I am here. I’m coming”
“Now I’d say you’re part of The family”, said Applejack.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle spat the apple that was in their mouths before they laughed, “alright. Well, I see the food situation is over-controlling, so we’re going“
“Aren’t you staying for lunch?” asked Apple Bloom with doggy eyes.
“Sorry, but we still have a lot of things to do”, replied Twilight Sparkle.
In response, all the ponies were saddened by the response. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle thought for a moment before replying.
“Okay”, said Twilight Sparkle.
“We stayed for lunch”, said Sunset Shimmer.
In response, all the earth ponies shouted for joy.
Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were walking slowly because they ate too much.
“Urgh. I ate a lot of pie“, said Twilight Sparkle.
“Me too”, replied Sunset Shimmer.
Spike began to look up at the sky as he spoke, “Hm, where’s the rainbow-colored pony named Rainbow Dash that should look after the clouds?”
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle stared at the sky, only to see a lot of clouds in the sky, “well, then it looks like she’s not doing a good job”, said Twilight Sparkle.
Suddenly, they were shoved into a mud by Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash got up and saw the two muddy unicorns, “hehe. Sorry”
“Hehe. Let me help you“, said Rainbow Dash, going to get a cloud and put down in Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.
Rainbow Dash went up the cloud and started jumping on it to get water out. After a few seconds, she stopped, and went to see the result. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle had wet mane.
“Hehe, ops I exaggerated. How about it here?“ said Rainbow Dash, before forming a rainbow-colored swirl around Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.
“It’s my invention: Dryer Rainbow Dash!” said Rainbow Dash.
“No, you don’t have to thank me. You deserve it“, said Rainbow Dash as she landed on the ground and stared at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight Sparkle stared at Rainbow Dash with an unhappy expression. While Sunset Shimmer had a neutral expression. Hers mane was all messed up and rolled up. Rainbow Dash couldn’t bear to see this and began to laugh and fall to the ground. Spike looked at the two unicorns before he began to laugh and fall to the ground as well.
“Let me guess. You’re Rainbow Dash“, said Twilight Sparkle, her expression ungraceful as she looked at Rainbow Dash and Spike on the floor laughing.
Rainbow Dash heard and made a pose before speaking, “what? Do you know me?” with that said, Rainbow Dash flew over to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.
“Have you heard of me?” asked Rainbow Dash Twilight Sparkle.
“What I know is that You should keep the sky cloudless”, replied Twilight Sparkle. Rainbow Dash seemed surprised by the response she just received.
“I’m Twilight Sparkle and my friend is called Sunset Shimmer. And the princesses sent us to check the weather“, said Twilight Sparkle looking at Rainbow Dash, who was in a cloud now.
“Alright, alright. It’s going to be easy. I’ll do it right there. I’ll do it as soon as I finish training“, said Rainbow Dash.
Sunset Shimmer was confused, “Train for what?”
“The Wonderbolts! They will perform at the celebration tomorrow and I will show them my style“, replied Rainbow Dash.
“The Wonderbolts?” asked Sunset Shimmer.
“Yes”, replied Rainbow Dash.
“The most skillful and talented pegasus in all Equestria?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“Yeah. These ones“, replied Rainbow Dash.
“C’mon. They would never accept a Pegasus who can’t leave the sky clean for a miserable day“, said Twilight Sparkle, turning her head back.
Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, “hey. I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat”
“Prove to me”, said Twilight Sparkle with a smile of defiance.
Rainbow Dash then left the cloud that was and began to clear the sky with the hind hulls. And the time was exactly ten seconds. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Spike were overwhelmed by it.
“What’s up? What I said? Ten seconds flat. I’ve never seen you in Ponyville“, said Rainbow Dash landing on a bridge.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were still full of surprises.
“Haha. You needed to see your face. Hehe, you guys are cool, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. I want to see you again“, said Rainbow Dash with a grin before she flew away.
Spike looked at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. “Wow. She's awesome”
Spike began to play with The mane of Twilight Sparkle, before ending up laughing. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle continued on their way to the prefecture, with nothing contented faces. Spike noticed and followed them.
“Hey, Wait! It’s even nice after we get used to it!“ said Spike, trying to cheer Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.
“It’s beautiful”, said Spike.
“Yes, the decor is great”, agreed Twilight Sparkle.
“Not The decor, her“, said Spike, pointing to a white unicorn with horsehair and purple tail, with a Cutie Mark of three blue diamonds.
“No. No, no. Oh heavens, no“, said Rarity said as she picked the tape.
“How are my scales? Are they combed?“ asked Spike to Twilight Sparkle.
In response, Twilight Sparkle just rolled her eyes before approaching Rarity, “hello, good afternoon,” gretted Twilight Sparkle.
“Just a moment, please. I’m in a moment of inspiration“, said Rarity.
“Yes. Brilliant are always fashionable, aren’t they? You are very talented Rarity“, said Rarity after having done and tied a red bow.
“Ready. What can I do for you?“ asked Rarity, before screaming in alarm.
“For the stars, darlings. What happened to your hairstyles?“ asked Rarity, looking at the unicorns of messy mane.
“Oh, did you mean with our mane?” asked Sunset Shimmer, looking at her mane.
“Well, it’s a long story. We’re just here to check out the decor and then we’re off“, said Twilight Sparkle.
“Go away? What about your hair, dear?“ asked Rarity, before beginning to push Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.
“Wait? Where are we going? Help!“ said Twilight Sparkle in surprise.
“No. No. No. Very green. Very yellow. Very cute. Not cuddly enough. Very old fashioned. Very bright. Now my dear ones, you’re going to tell me where you came from“, said Rarity.
“We ... Urgh ... We came ... It’s ... From ... Canterlot ... To ...” said Twilight Sparkle as Rarity tightened her clothes and The Sunset Shimmer’s clothes.
Rarity was surprised and released her clothes, “Canterlot ?! Oh, I’m so jealous. The glamor, the sophistication. Dear, I always dreamed of living there. I can’t wait to tell me everything. We’ll be great friends, me, you and Sunset Shimmer”
A moment of silence, until ...
“Emeralds? Where was my head? Let me get some rubies for you“, said Rarity as she went out to get rubies.
“Quick. Before she makes us dye another color“, said Twilight Sparkle as she ran away from the store with Sunset Shimmer.
“Isn’t she really wonderful?” asked Spike, still looking passionate.
“Focus Spike, focus. What’s next on the list?“ said Twilight Sparkle to Spike.
Spike looked at the list, “Music. Is the last”
Suddenly, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, and Twilight Sparkle heard a bird song, and decided to see where it was coming from. They came out of a bush to see a yellow-colored mare with pink mane and baby mane.
“Spike, stay here. We’re back“ told Twilight Sparkle to Spike. Spike nodded.
“Hello!” exclameid Twilight Sparkle as she approached the yellow mare.
Fluttershy screamed in alarm and looked down to see two unicorn mares, “Oh no. I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to scare your birds. We’re just here to check out the song and she’s so beautiful“, said Twilight Sparkle.
There was a silence between the three mares. Twilight Sparkle gave a nervous smile as she looked left and right.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Sunset Shimmer. What’s your name?“ Introduced Twilight Sparkle with a smile.
“Oh. My name is fluttershy ...” said Fluttershy in a low voice.
“Sorry, what did you say?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
“Oh. My name is fluttershy ... “ said Fluttershy in an even lower voice.
“We don’t understand yet”, said Sunset Shimmer.
Fluttershy just hid her face in the mane in response. And again, silence, “well, it looks like your birds have returned. So we think everything’s in order. Keep up the good work“, said Twilight Sparkle with a smile.
“Alright ...” said Twilight Sparkle, as she and Sunset Shimmer stepped away from Fluttershy.
“Well, that was easy”, told Twilight Sparkle to Spike, as he stepped out of the bushes.
Fluttershy looked at Spike in surprise, before shouting, “a baby dragon!”
Fluttershy went to Spike, not noticing that she pushed Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle away.
“I had never seen a baby dragon before. He’s so cute“, said Fluttershy with a smile.
“Well, well, well”, said Spike as he looked at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle stunned before returning to Fluttershy.
“Oh my Celestia, he speaks. I didn’t know that dragons spoke. This is so incredibly fantastic that I don’t even know what to say“, said Flurtteshy, still smiling.
Suddenly, a pink magic grabbed Spike and placed it on the back of Twilight Sparkle, “so, we better get going”
“Wait, wait. What’s your name?“ said Fluttershy said as she followed Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Spike.
“I’m Spike”, replied Spike.
“Hi, Spike. My name is Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon. And what do the dragons talk about?“ said Fluttershy, still walking.
“What do you want to know?” asked Spike.
“Absolutely all”, said Fluttershy.
In response, Twilight Sparkle groaned in frustration, while Sunset Shimmer didn’t seem to care.
“So it all started with a little purple and green egg ...” began Spike to tell his story.
“... And that’s the story of my whole life,” Spike finished to tell his story. “I mean, to this day. Do you want to hear it today?”
“Oh, I do. Please“, said Fluttershy.
“Look, I’m sorry. But as we arrived so fast, this is where we will stay for our stay in Ponyville. And the little dragon baby needs to sleep“, said Twilight Sparkle interrupting Spike’s conversation with Fluttershy.
“Hey, I don’t need ...” tried to say Spike, but Twilight Sparkle pulled him off her back and set him down.
“Ah, look. He’s so tiny. He barely stands“, said Twilight Sparkle, looking at Spike with a pout.
Fluttershy caught Spike in her lap, “poor thing. You need to put him in bed”
Fluttershy tried to get inside the house, but Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle prevented.
“Yes, Yes. I’ll take care of it. Well, good night“, said Twilight Sparkle, before closing the door in front of Fluttershy.
“Now where’s the light?” asked Sunset Shimmer, looking sideways to find the switch.
But the lights went on by themselves. Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were startled to hear ponies shout “surprise!” Twilight Sparkle let out a sigh.
“Surprise! Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie. And organize this party just for you two. Were you surprised? Are you? Are you?“ said Pinkie Pie.
“Very surprised”, said Sunset Shimmer, smiling.
“Libraries should be quiet”, said Twilight Sparkle.
“Oh what a silly thing. What kind of party would it be if it were silent? Like, damn. Bo-ring “, say Pinkie Pie.
Twilight Sparkle started walking toward the food table, while Pinkie Pie talked nonstop, “you know, I remember you two from early today, remember? Like, I’ve never seen you before, and since I’ve never seen you before, it’s because you’re new because I know everyone in Ponyville”
When Pinkie Pie started talking again, Twilight Sparkle moaned in frustration, “and if you two are new, it means you don’t know anypony yet”
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie finally arrived at the table. Twilight picked up a bottle to put in the punch glass. And Pinkie Pie kept talking while Twilight Sparkle drank, “and if you two don’t know anypony yet, you two shouldn’t have any friends. And if you don’t have friends, you must be alone. And it made me so sad. Then I had an idea. Then, I did a super-hyper-mega-party and invited everypony in Ponyville. See? Now you two have lots, lots and lots of friends”
Twilight Sparkle suddenly felt something in her mouth, a very hot thing, “are you okay, Sugarcube?” asked Applejack to Twilight Sparkle.
But Twilight Sparkle didn’t have time to respond. she ran away. Sunset Shimmer saw Twilight Sparkle coming up the stairs and follow her.
“Oh. She’s so happy, That she’s crying“, said Pinkie Pie with a smile.
Spike took the bottle that Twilight used and read what it said, “pepper sauce”
Pinkie Pie put pepper sauce into a cupcake before putting it in the mouth. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity were worried.
Pinkie Pie looked at her friends “What? Is so good”
Pinkie Pie’s friends were relieved.
While upstairs, Twilight Sparkle drank a large bottle of milk that she made appear with her magic. When she finished drinking, Twilight Sparkle let out a sigh of relief, “what a burning thing!”
“Has it improved, Twilight?” asked Sunset Shimmer with a hull on the back of Twilight Sparkle.
“Yes. But I still feel the tongue a bit burned“, replied Twilight Sparkle, now looking at Sunset Shimmer.
