Radiant Hope and Spike are now at the Town Hall, where the decorations were just put up. “Decorations. Beautiful…” Spike said. “Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed.” Hope replied.
“Yup, they are beautiful alright.” Said a third voice in the room. Hope and Spike were confused. “Who said that?” Hope asked. The two turned to the left, no pony was there. They turned to the right, and it turned out that there was a Pegasus pony there.
The Pegasus pony had a bright yellow coat, medium turquoise eyes, a tiffany blue mane and tail, and a cutie mark of three raindrops.
“Uh, were you the one that put up the decor?” Hope asked. The Pegasus chuckled. “Nah, I’m just admiring them. Whoever made them, they made them pretty cool.” She said.
Hope groaned. ‘Guess she isn’t the decor pony.’ She thought. “Anyways, I’m Raindrops. It’s nice to meet ya.” The Pegasus said, introducing herself.
Spike was shocked. “Wait, you’re Raindrops?!” Spike asked. “Yeah? Why?” Raindrops asked. “Your friend Derpy is looking for you!” Spike told her.
“Oh man, I was supposed to help her with the weather, but I got distracted by the decorations in the town hall!” Raindrops said, surprisingly. Hope didn’t have time for this. “Okay Spike, we told her. Can we go now?” She asked impatiently.
“No, you guys are not leaving until you guys help me find my friend!” Raindrops said sternly. Just then, somepony crashed into the Town Hall. That pony was none other than Derpy.
“Rainy! I finally found you!” Derpy said happily. “Sorry about flying off, Derpy.” Raindrops said, apologizing to Derpy. Derpy stood up and brushed off the dust off of her. “It’s fine, Rainy. But this Radiant Hope pony challenged me to clear the sky in five seconds, and I did!” Derpy said, proud of her achievement.
Raindrops turned to Hope. “Well Miss Hope, I’m impressed. You managed to make my friend clear the sky in five seconds. I can safely say that we’re gonna be best friends.” Raindrops said. Hope cringed again. She really didn’t like that word.
“Now how about we head over to Sugarcube Corner to get you some muffins.” Raindrops told Derpy. “Yay!!! Muffins!!!” Derpy said excitedly. Raindrops turned to Hope again. “Well, we love to stay and chat, but we got some muffins to get for my friend here. See ya!” Raindrops said. After that, her and Derpy flew out of Town Hall.
“Wow, these two Pegasi are truly something.” Spike said. “Yeah, they are something.” Hope replied.
And out of all the ponies in Ponyville, Hope knew that these two Pegasi are very weird.

“I like those Pegasi.” Spike said, still thinking about the two. “Yes, they are great. Now let’s focus a bit more. So, what’s next on the list?” Hope asked. Spike checked the checklist. “Oh, uh, music! It's the last one!” Spike said after checking the checklist.
From a distance, Hope and Spike can hear somepony play a piano. They walked closer to the music until they found an earth pony playing piano.
The earth pony had a light cyan coat, dark cyan eyes, a curly indigo mane and tail with moderate opal streaks, and a cutie mark of a star with different coloured music notes surrounding it.
The earth pony played a beautiful song on the piano, until she messed up and played a wrong note. “Oh, horsefeathers!” The earth pony said after messing up.
She then regained her cool. “You can do this Rara, it’s for the celebration.” The earth pony played the piano again and tried not to mess up.
“Hello!” Hope said. The earth pony got shocked and played a wrong note on the piano. “Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to distract you. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful.” Hope told the earth pony.
“Really? Oh my. I’m really glad you like it then.” The earth pony said with a smile. “Anyways, I’m Coloratura, It’s nice to meet you.” The earth pony said, introducing herself.
“Well it’s nice to meet you, Miss Coloratura. I’m Radiant Hope.” Hope said, introducing herself as well. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, but I have to get to work on my music.” Coloratura told Hope.
“Of course, and that would mean that everything's in order. Keep up the good work!” Hope told Coloratura. “I will! See you later!” Coloratura said, heading back to her piano.
Hope then turned to Spike. “Well, That was easy.” She told him. Just then, Coloratura turned around, noticing Spike.
“Oh my stars! A baby dragon!” Coloratura said with excitement. She ran up to Spike, shoving Hope in the process. “I never met a baby dragon before! He is just the cutest thing ever!” Coloratura said.
Spike turned to Hope. “Well, well, well.” He told her. Coloratura was surprised. “And he talks too?! Wow, this has got to be the coolest day ever!” Coloratura said with a smile.
Hope stood up and grabbed Spike. “Well it was nice to meet you Coloratura, but we must be on our way now.” Hope told Coloratura. And she walked off, but Coloratura followed close behind.
“Wait! What’s his name?” Coloratura asked. “I’m Spike.” He replied. “Hi Spike, I’m Coloratura.” Coloratura said, introducing herself. Hope groaned, ‘why must she be such a drag?’ She thought.
“Wow, a talking baby dragon. That’s so cool! What do dragons talk about?” Coloratura asked. “Well, what do you wanna know?” Spike asked. “Everything!” Coloratura replied.
“Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg…” Spike began. Hope groaned. ‘This is gonna be a long day.’ She thought.

“...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?” Spike asked. “Of course!” Coloratura said.
Radiant Hope finally saw the tree library that she will be staying in. “I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.” Hope told Coloratura. “No I don't!” Spike said. But Hope leaned to the side and he fell off.
“Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance!” Hope said in a child-like voice. “Poor thing, you simply must get into bed…” Coloratura said, grabbing Spike and walking inside the tree.
However, Hope used her magic to push Coloratura away and grabbed Spike. “Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!” Hope said and slammed the door on Coloratura’s face.
“Rude much?” Spike told Hope. “Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?” Hope said.
Then suddenly, a light came on. But it was a blue one. Hope and Spike can see a lot of ponies here, and when they turned right, they saw somepony.
It was the white unicorn from earlier, except she was wearing DJ glasses and was on a DJ booth.
“GOOD EVENING, PONYVILLE! ARE YOU READY TO PARTY?!” The unicorn shouted.
The crowd of ponies began cheering. Hope knew that there’s no getting out of this one. It’s happening and she would have to deal with it.
“You have got to be kidding me.” Hope muttered to herself.
