In a classy bar in Canterlot City, many people are just relaxing, having drinks, and telling amazing stories. At one table, Vignette Valencia is enjoying the atmosphere. Sitting with her are the likes of Gloriosa Daisy, Juniper Montage, and Wallflower Blush. The four ladies caused a lot of trouble, especially for the Mane Seven. But, these days, these woman stay away from Twilight and her friends, fearing that they might be criticized for their misdeeds.
"It's great that we can all gather to enjoy each other's company." Vignette announced. "Now, we don't need to have liquor to relax, just so you know."
"But, why am I here?" Wallflower wondered. "I don't fit in with this elegant crowd."
"Don't feel bad, Wallflower." Gloriosa said. "I'm sure Miss Valencia has a good reason for us to be here."
Suddenly, Vignette saw somebody. "Hello, there. Come join us."
Everybody turned and saw what looks like a female court jester walking towards the group.
"Is there a medieval event happening in town?" Gloriosa wondered.
Wallflower looked at the girl, and realized who it is. "I don't believe it. It's Courtly Jester."
Juniper then spoke up. "Whoa! Lizzie Hearts told me about this wild card. She tried to usurp the Queen of Hearts and take over Wonderland."
"Sounds like somebody knows of my dark reputation." Courtly replied as she sat down between Vignette and Gloriosa. "That was then, this is now."
"It's true that Courtly Jester was a diabolical lady." Vignette informed. "But, after a stint at Wonderland Prison, she's given a chance for redemption."
"How?" Juniper asked.
"By being enrolled at Ever After High. That helped straighten her out."
"Miss Valencia is right, fellow former bad girls." Courtly added. "And, I'm sure all of you did things you're not too proud of."
Everybody was surprised to hear that. Courtly turned to the camp counselor. "Let's start with you, Gloriosa Daisy. I'm sure you still have nightmares about being possesed by the spirit of Gaia Everfree."
"You're right, Courtly." Gloriosa replied. "I tried my best to be a good counselor at Camp Everfree. And, put that moment behind."
"I'm sure Timber Spruce is happy about that."
Courtly then turned to the green haired girl. "Wallflower Blush. You had a guilty past as well. I heard that you used an artifact from Equestria, the Memory Stone, to erase the memories of Sunset from the other Rainbooms. And, vice versa."
"That's because I thought nobody would know my existence." Wallflower confessed. "I guess I'm very shy and hide from everybody."
"Now, you have friends in your Garden Club. Thus, you're never alone, nor forgotten."
Wallflower smiled as Courtly turned to the indie movie maven.
"Juniper Montage." Courtly called. "After your ordeal at a movie shoot, you planned revenge on the Rainbooms at a mall, Right?"
"I'm afraid so." Juniper said sadly. "But, those girls were saved, thanks to a visitor from Equestria."
"That would be Princess Twilight Sparkle's student, Starlight Glimmer."
"You're right, Courtly. I'm still determined to make my own movie. But, the right way."
Courtly then made a speech. "You three have done some terrible things. I did too. But, we've all been forgiven in time. Even Vignette Valencia here was sorry for her neferious deed, which I won't get into."
Vignette was relived to hear that. "Thanks, Courtly."
Juniper soon noticed something. "I was expecting Abacus Cinch to join us."
"I gave her the invitation." Vignette said. "I guess she's still ashamed for what she done."
Little does anybody know that Abacus Cinch is at a far off table, watching and listening to all of the action.
I wouldn't mind joining Juniper, Gloriosa, Wallflower, and Vignette. Miss Cinch thought. But, Courtly Jester frightens even me. Who knows what tricks that harlequin has up her sleeve?
