Starlight Glimmer is woken up by Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. They give Starlight a breakfast in bed or couch is what they call it. Starlight smiles at the gesture and thanks them. They gave Starlight a fruit salad, a bagel with butter, and a glass of water. Starlight eats her breakfast as the CMC go upstairs to freshen up for today's tour. After Starlight eats her breakfast, she heads upstairs to freshen up as well. After a while, Starlight decides to give Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo the tour she promised yesterday.
"Alright, girls. On with the tour," Starlight said happily.
Starlight opens the front door as the CMC leaves the house. It wasn't much to show as the town buildings are aligned. Not much else is around the town now that they realized.
"So, uh," Scootaloo mutters. "Where do you get your supplies from?"
"I have a few acquaintances that work in Manehattan. They send supplies for the town for me every week."
"Makes sense to us," The girls said in unison.
Starlight shows the girls various stores and restaurants in her village. Everypony in Starlight's village welcomes and greets their new neighbors. Everypony still having their cutie marks and obliging Starlight's laws. The CMC sees ponies who haven't achieved in getting their cutie marks receiving fellowship, respect, and honor by those who do have their cutie marks. No pony in Starlight's village is bullying one another. The CMC smile at Starlight's equality in friendship desire. They now understand the fruition of Starlight's purposes though they need to be more involved to have a better understanding of it.
"Hey, Starly?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Yes, Apple Boom?"
"Is there a school here?"
"Not yet. We're still in the process of building a school here. My village has only been around for two years. Until we have more fillies, it'll be best to homeschool them," Starlight said.
"So, are you going to homeschool us?" Scootaloo asks curiously.
"I'll have to think about it. Also, when will you be writing your letter, Scootaloo?"
"Later today. Why you ask, Starly?"
"I need to know when so when the next shipment arrives, I can ask a favor to mail your letter."
"The delivery pony does that?"
"Yes. The delivery pony not only ships out supplies but letters as well."
"Sounds good."
"Also, Scootaloo. Ask your parents in the letter when they can come get you."
"I will. I respect your and my friends' purpose here. I want to find my purpose with my cutie mark when I discover my true talent. I promise when my parents come for me, I'll visit time to time."
"Thank you, Scootaloo."
"You're welcome, Starly."
Starlight Glimmer introduces the CMC to Sugar Belle. One of the better bakers in her village.
"Hi, young fillies," Sugar Belle smiles. "Want a cupcake?"
"Sure!" Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo shout excitedly.
Sugar Belle gives the girls a cupcake. They devour it and love it.
"This is delicious!" Apple Bloom cheers happily.
"Best tasting cupcake I had in my whole life!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Better than the Pinkie Pie's for sure," Scootaloo chimes in happiness.
"Glad you enjoy my cupcakes. Now, what are your names?"
"I'm Apple Bloom," She smiles.
"I'm Sweetie Belle," She also smiles.
"I'm Scootaloo."
"And we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" They shout in unison.
"Nice to meet you, three. I'm Sugar Belle. Welcome to our village."
"Thank you," The Crusaders said as they follow Starlight Glimmer.
Starlight takes the CMC to introduce them to Party Favor. He's a party specialist in town. The CMC wonder if Party Favor and Sugar Belle are long distant cousins of Pinkie Pie. Party favor is in the middle of celebrating Night Glider's birthday. She lands in front of Starlight and the CMC. Scootaloo gaze in awe.
"Wow, that was fast," Scootaloo said.
"Hey, Night Glider. I want to introduce you to your three newest neighbors. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo."
"Welcome to your new home," Night Glider said. She notices Scootaloo staring at her. "Hey, what's up?"
"Uh.., Nothing. Sorry, its that you reminded me of someone who used to be my friend."
"Used to?" Night Glider curiously asks.
"I'll tell you about that later. Now it's not a good time since it's your birthday."
"Alright, when you are ready to speak, I'll be here. My house is next to Sugar Belle's bakery on the right. You can come by any time you like."
"Sounds good. Thank you," Scootaloo said with a smile.
"You're welcome, kid."
"Also, happy birthday," Scootaloo said.
"Thanks, kid. You and your friends are welcome to join us."
"Thanks but, no thanks. My friends and I are new here and, there is much more Starlight has to show us."
"You three can stay here, enjoy yourselves with the new friends you'll be making. I have other things to take care of. I'll pick you up in two hours."
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo cheer joyfully and meet up with other ponies celebrating Night Glider's birthday. Starlight trots in a different direction. She's going to a cave to practice her magic to use the staff of sameness. In the cave, there is a juvenile known as Fire Flier that Starlight captured a while back. Fire Flier is a light yellow pegasus with an orange and red striped mane. Fire Flier is chained to a bolder, tightly. He struggles in his shackles and glares at Starlight.
"Mmmph! Mmmmph!" Fire Flier muffles angrily.
"Nice to see you too, Fire. You should be glad I didn't report you to the police for setting yet, another wildfire with your wings."
"Mmph!" Fire Flier glares.
"Now, you should know, Fire. My schedule is going to be stricter than before. I'll still keep you around until the time has come," Starlight uses her magic to wield the staff of sameness. "Now, let's see if I can strip you of that cutie mark of yours," Starlight smiles sinisterly.
Fire Flier struggles frantically and wildly. Starlight uses her magic to activate the magic of the staff of sameness. Then she tries using her magic to strip the pegasus of his cutie mark. Using her rage as fuel, she is unsuccessful. Starlight takes a breather then tries a second time.
At Night Glider's birthday party, everypony asks what's the tale of the CMC for coming to Starlight's Village. The girls look at each other and finally relents. They told everyone at Night Glider's birthday party about their unfortunate tale when they were journalists in Ponyville in hopes of discovering their cutie marks. After Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo finish telling their story, everyone looks at the sky in disbelief.
"You mean to tell us that an entire town hates you for publishing what they want?" Night Glider said in her shocking tone voice.
"Yes..." The girls sadly said in unison.
"That's messed up," Party Favor said.
"It's beyond wrong," Double Diamond said.
"We'll be your friends and family, kids. Here in Starlight's Village, friendship is all about equality. Never hating cause someone made a mistake or receiving bad influence," Sugar Belle said.
Everypony else nods in agreement.
"Thank you," The CMC smiles.
Everypony hugs them then continue onward with the party, having a fun time.
An hour passes and, Starlight is taking a break from using her magic in the cave. Fire Flier is tired of his struggle to make Starlight lose concentration. Starlight ungags Fire Flier to give him a smoothie. Fire Flier spits the smoothie at Starlight's face and demands her to let him go.
"As for that, you little punk, I won't be feeding you for the next three days!" Starlight angrily said. Starlight gags him again. "Alright, rage didn't work. Happiness did not work, sadness, greed, lust," Then an idea pop in her mind. "Let's try passion," Starlight uses her magic to levitate the staff and use passion to strip the cutie mark of Fire Flier.
Moments after using her passion, she successfully removes Fire Flier's cutie mark. Fire Flier is shocked to see his precious cutie mark and talent taken away. Fire Flier burst into tears. He wants his cutie mark back. Starlight navigates the cutie mark to the vault and seals it for all eternity. Starlight smiles sinisterly and looks at Fire Flier.
"Good news. You won't be setting fires and destroying anything ever again." Starlight ungags him to hear his plea.
"Please.., I'll turn myself to the police... Please.., I want my cutie mark back..." Starlight sees Fire Flier's flank and sees an equal cutie mark emerging.
"Sorry, you won't be getting your cutie mark back. Considering you burnt all of the crops in my village."
Fire Flier looks down in defeat and asks. "What are you going to do with me?"
"Hmm, I'll dispose of you. You are a wretched in Equestria, after all."
Fire Flier closes his eyes and accepts defeat. There is nothing he can do anymore. Starlight uses her magic to lift Fire Flier chains and maneuver it into a straightjacket.
"Follow me, please," Starlight mockingly said as she levitates Fire Flier.
In a half-hour of walking distance, Starlight puts Fire Flier on a boat still chained up. Fire Flier is unable to do anything but watch. When he sees Starlight putting him on the boat, he figures Starlight is sending him away.
"Now, you are on the boat. It's time for you to go away into the unknown."
"When I get out, I'll come for you and burn your village to the ground!" Fire Flier swears it.
"By the time you get out, you'll be apprehended or eaten. Bye-bye," Starlight happily waves Fire goodbye and pushes the boat into the unknown. "Now, I need to head back to my village. It's time to teach the girls about my laws in my village," Starlight trots back to her home.
An hour passes by as Starlight returns to her village. She sees the townfolk enjoying themselves with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo at Night Glider's birthday. The girls said their byes and go up to Starlight.
"Did you three had fun?"
"I had fun!" Apple Bloom said.
"Same here," Sweetie Belle concurs.
"I had fun as well, Starly. Also, the town knows of our situation back in Ponyville."
"Alright, then. Let me take you three back home so I can show you my laws in the village." Starlight takes the girls back home and has them seated on the couch. "Alright, I'll be back in a few moments," Starlight goes into her office and brings out her laws written in a format on the chalkboard she wheeled in.
"I'll be back, I'm gonna get a drink from the fridge," Sweetie Belle said. She goes to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"Anyone else wants a drink?" Starlight asks.
"I'm good, thanks," Scootaloo replies.
"Same," Apple Bloom agrees.
Sweetie Belle returns to the living room and sits on the couch with her friends. Starlight smiles and reads.
"Nice list, Starly," Scootaloo said.
"Yea, those laws are perfect for us," Apple Bloom said.
"What problems have you faced recently, Starly?"
"A few months ago, there was a nuisance named Fire Flier. He is an arsonist. My village was plentiful with crops until he came and burn it all up. That's why the surroundings of my village look bland."
"So, that's why you have those shipments, right?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Yes. The land is too dry to fertilize. We tried and, nothing grew."
"Mind if I take a crack at it?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Sure but, what a filly like you can do?"
"I grew up at a farm and, there is a lot I learned over the years. When does the next shipment arrive?"
"In the next three days. However, I think you may want to wait for the following shipment. I haven't requested anything for fertilization in a while."
"Alright, then. Starly, in a few months or a year, I'll do what I can to supply our village with crops once more."
"The whole village will help you when the time comes," Starlight said, smiling at Apple Bloom for her kind gesture. "You know, I believe it was fate that brought you three here. You three will have a huge impact in my village. Making it better for everypony. Equality in friendship."
"With your rulings in your village and no pony here to cause anypony stress, I don't see anything wrong taking place now or in the future," Sweetie Belle said.
"Yea, though I will be getting my cutie mark and will be leaving soon, I would like to do what I can for our home for the time being."
"Good, Scootaloo."
"Hey, Starly."
"Yes, Scootaloo?"
"I'll be back later tonight. I'm gonna visit Night Glider."
"Alright, then. Don't be out too long, though."
"I won't. I'll be back in an hour or so."
"Sounds good. Have fun."
"I will," Scootaloo said as she leaves the house.
"I'll be staying here to plot ideas of replenishing the land," Apple Bloom said.
"I'm going to head upstairs and call it a day," Sweetie Belle said.
"Okay, I'll be in my office. Knock before you enter. I like to keep my thoughts in private."
"Don't worry, Starly. Sweetie Belle and I won't be snooping around. We learned that lesson the hard way."
Starlight goes to her office, leaving the two be. She starts walking in a circular motion.
"Fire Flier is gone and won't cause any trouble anymore. His cutie mark will remain in the vault for all eternity. Everypony in my village is cooperating nicely. I have two apprentices. One will be leaving soon. They are the only ones who knows about my plans. Perhaps they have other ideas to help influence my dreams of Equality in Friendship. Only time will tell," Starlight stops walking in a circular motion. "Lead an example in my Equality Friendship or become a dictator?" Starlight sits on her lounge chair and pounder on that question. "If I choose to be a leader, everypony follows my laws. Those who break it, I strip their cutie marks. If I choose to be a dictator, I will strip everypony in my village, give them an equal cutie mark and go forth of painting mine over to continue my spree of creating equality in friendship. Hmm, I'll need the advice of my apprentices and see which they'll agree on, though, I like my initial plan of stripping everypony of their cutie marks and putting them in the vault," Starlight gets up and leaves her office. She goes to the kitchen and starts making dinner.
