Sunset and Twilight's friends are coming together as Sunset is still in her pony form. A pumpkin is in there and Twilight is casting a spell with her hoof. A purple aura appears on her hoof and blasts at the pumpkin. The pumpkin is changed into a patriot in pumpkin style. Her friends, except Spike, look at the pumpkin in amazement while Spike just thinks that this is not a good patriot though. 

Sunset nods, "Good job, Twilight. You are nearly using the spell without using your horn."

"Thanks, Sunset," Twilight smiles, "This is the first time you say good about my spell."

"Yeah," Sunset folds her front hooves together, "except for the accident two days ago."

Twilight glares at Sunset while Spike looks at the chariot, "Then who will pull this chariot?"

"I will," Sunset volunteers, " I can pull this thing off without a problem."

Sunset is going to equip herself to the chariot but Rarity stops her, "Now now darling, you are a mare now so I doubt that you can pull this patriot with seven of us."

"Why not?" Sunset tilts her head, "I used to pull the thing much heavier than this many times."

"No no no," Rarity shakes her head, "Let me handle it." Then she walks to two stallions who are talking together. Rarity coughs, "Ehem.." The two stallions turn attention to Rarity as she starts to ask, "Hey there~, could you pull this chariot to the gala? My friends here need your help ~." Sunset facehoofs for that tone of Rarity.

The stallions blush and they nod in agreement. "Sure lady Rarity, we can help you to pull this chariot."

Rarity smiles and she turns to her friends, "Well, what are you waiting for? Prepare yourself and we will go to the best gala ever." Rarity and others go to the chariot while Spike helps the stallion to equip it. Sunset can just follow them even if she doesn't like it.




The group is chatting with each other while Twilight is going to practice magic in the chariot but Sunset prevents her from doing that because she doesn't want this chariot to be destroyed by accident. Sunset looks outside and closes her eyes to remember the heroes team in another world, who were teammates with her before. "How are they now?" She thinks and looks at the sky full of stars. 

The chariot suddenly stops as ponies inside look outside. The fancy party is in front of their eyes as the ponies are excited to be. They are just rushing into the party. Sunset, in the red dress, just stands there and looks at it. Spike parks the chariot, then walks to Sunset and asks, "Aren't you excited for the gala?"

"No," Sunset shakes her head, "Fancy parties or galas are not one of my types."

"I see." Spike leads Sunset inside, "Come on, you have to join it. Everypony is enjoying the gala."

"Fine," Sunset follows Spike, "I am here not standing anyway." Then the duo comes inside. 

The Gala has so much sparkle. There are many nobles across Equestria who join the Gala. They also have the Wonderbolt, Dash's fan. They are performing a show in the sky, making the duo look up. When they are walking inside the huge building, where Celestia and Luna are waiting for her, three ponies wearing the fancy vest come in front of the orange unicorn.

"Hello, beautiful ~," The pegasus smiles, "Would you like to dance with me to the romantic music under the sky full of stars?"

Sunset and Spike look at each other. They think that this stallion is reading too many romantic novels to become like that. Sunset rejects politely, "Oh sorry, I have a meeting to join in this Gala. See you later."

When Sunset and Spike keep walking, the unicorn uses his spell to grab her back hoof to stop the orange unicorn. Sunset just walks normally and the spell is broken, making the unicorn grasps. The unicorn teleports in front of her to stop her. The orange unicorn glares at him while Spike just says, "Knock it off, dude. She denied your invitation,"

"I am not talking to you, lizard," The unicorn waves her front hoof around Sunset, "Why don't you just trick this lizard to join us? We will have fun together."

"Uh-huh," Sunset looks at him with boring eyes and smirks, "Why don't you search for another mare? There are plenty of beautiful mares for you to choose from. I hope that one of them will accept your invitation,"

"We don't like all of the mares in here," The earth pony retorts, "I will be the one who can make you happy."

Sunset sighs and keeps walking, "Come on, Spike. The princesses are waiting for us." Then the duo walks into the big shining building but the stallions jump in front of them. Sunset asks, "What do you want?"

"I want you to come with us." The pegasus points at the orange unicorn,"We will take care of you, better than this lizard."

Sunset rubs her head as she walks to the lamp, then she picks up the lamp that sticks on the ground and spins it, making the stallions surprised. The stallions step back as they can't believe what they are seeing. "Well... okay... we will leave you," Then they run away from the orange unicorn.

Spike looks at the orange dragon, "You are really a monster, don't you?" Then he earns a smack from her, "Ouch, hey, It's true. No one here can't do that."

"Just let it pass, ok? You can do that if you finish the training." Sunset walks to the building with the purple dragon following.





When they are just coming inside the shining building, music is playing in classical style while ponies around are dancing with each other. The dragon looks at the orange unicorn while the orange unicorn looks at Celestia. The white alicorn notices them as she grins, then she flies down to the musical band and talks about something. The band nods and they change the music style into tango, make everyone around dancing in the couple in front of the princess of the night, create a barrier to her.

Sunset looks at the white alicorn in disbelief while Celestia flies back to her spot. Now, Sunset has to dance with Spike to pass these ponies? she doesn't know. Spike looks at the ponies who are dancing, then looks at the orange unicorn. 

He smiles and bows to her, "Shall we dance my lady?" then he gives her a claw.

Sunset puts her front hoof on his claw, then stands up by two back hooves, "Do I have a choice?"

"Did you dance before?"

"A lot. On the battlefield, not in the music." 

The purple dragon suggests, "Then dance like no tomorrow, shall we?" Sunset nods as the dragon and the pony start dancing. Twilight is just going inside the building and she sees Sunset and Spike are starting to dance. While dancing, they perform a sweet dance and walk toward the Sister. Spike lifts his arm over his head as Sunset holds his finger and spins herself.  The audience turns their attention to them. When the music's over, Sunset drops herself and Spike holds her spines, performing a good ending pose for the dancing. The audience claps at them. Spike and Sunset return to their normal state and walk toward the Sister.  Celestia is smiling at them

"I don't like that, Princess Celestia." Spike rubs his head while blushing, "I feel so embarrassing"

"Come on, Spike," Celestia hovers her hoof over the purple dragon and whispers, "Don't worry, I will support you."

"I don't like that too, Celly." Sunset looks at the audience as they cheer at them while Twilight's mouth is hanging there, "Anyway, let's get Twilight and we will talk about this."

"Sound like a good idea," Celestia nods, "Follow me"


After taking Twilight, The Sister leads the trio to a room. All of them take a seat and call the butler to prepare the tea and cake. When all of the things are ready, Celestia starts eating the cake while others take a little. 

Celestia smiles, "It's a long time to see this familiar form, Sunset." Then she sips the tea.

"Not for long, Celly," Sunset rubs her chin, "Just only 20 years, right?"

"It's too long for me." Celestia folds her front hooves, "I lost somepony who can trick every day."

"Lucky that you got tricked back," Sunset takes out Celestia's cat form photo, "Remember this?"

Luna giggles while Celestia feels a little shame, then she takes out three albums. Each album has pictures of Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike. Twilight grasps when she sees that album, "When... When did you take a picture of us?"

"I know that this moment will come so I picture all of you. It's good to recall the moments we shared together." Celestia rubs her chin, "I want to see you maturing day by day." 

The trio doesn't know what to say as Celestia opens Twilight's album first. There are many pictures of Twilight sleeping in the book fortress, making the purple unicorn double face hooves for embarrassment. Celestia confirms that it is hard to pull her out of the library but she wants Twilight to be less dependent on her. Twilight silents a little and nods, she wants to try that.

Luna opens Spike's album and she feels that he is so cute about that. Some of the pictures show that he is sad at that time. Celestia reminds that this is when he gets racism from other ponies. The ponies that time still read the fairy tale about a mare who is captured by dragons and a hero will save her. Celestia has already banned those books like that 10 years ago. That moment makes the white alicorn have a headache because her subject disagrees about that, but she manages to solve the problem, but the racist of dragons in pony is still there.

Sunset smiles as she takes out the picture of her previous teammate. The others in the room look at the picture, they see four humans with three cats and the orange dragon in there. Sunset says that is the final gift from them to remembrance, each of the members has that picture. Twilight is amazed because these are creatures that she has never seen before. The rooms keep talking and talking until midnight. Celestia stands up and calls Sunset to follow her to the balcony. 

When Sunset just walks out of the balcony, a bucket of hot water is poured into her head, and Sunset is changing into the dragon form, making the dress torn. Celestia giggles as she looks at the sky

"Nice play, Celly," Sunset says sternly, "You don't know how to stop right?"

"Maybe," Celestia sighs, "I wish I can go on an adventure with you, but the throne keeps chaining me here."

"You always find a way to skip your work," Sunset huffs and sits on the barrier of the balcony, "I remember that one time you suddenly disappear, everyone around panic and keep looking for you."

"After that, You and Raven Inkwell drag me back," Celestia smiles, "I like that moment," then she looks at the orange dragon, "So Sunset, I ask you a question."

"Go ahead,"

"Is your adventure over?" 

Sunset silents for a while and looks at the sky, then looks at the picture and smiles, "Not yet. I have another adventure to walk on." Then the sonic rainboom explodes from the sky, making the party completely into a mess.

Celestia likes that answer as she watches the nobles panicking in the Gala, which makes her giggle. Twilight's friends are deciding to go to Pony Joe's doughnut shop to let their stress out. Sunset and Celestia decide to fly down the group to join them.





After the party, Sunset and the purple duo lie down on the sofa as they are tired. Sunset goes upstairs to check her things while Twilight just reads a gray book. When Twilight is opening the book, she sees a weird magic circle drawn on the book. She decides to give it to Spike, the purple duo looks at each other and nods. They draw a circle on the floor. 

When the circle is nearly complete, Sunset calls the purple duo from upstairs, "Twilight, Spike, can you help me something?" The purple duo just leaves it there and goes upstairs.

Fluttershy knocks on the door as she wants to give back the book that she had borrowed from Twilight. The door is unlocked, makes the yellow pegasus confused, and walks inside. Looking down on the floor, she sees the circle on the ground. Curiously, she looks at it more carefully and sees something missing at the bottom. "This looks like an animal circle," Fluttershy giggles. The yellow pegasus sees the chalk on the desk and takes it, then she draws a cat in the missing spot. 

When she draws it, the circle is shining bright. The trio is walking out of the room and sees something bright downstairs. Running downstairs, they see Fluttershy is covering her eyes due to the circle shining. 

"What are you doing?" Sunset asks her

"I don't know. I just draw a cat in the circle, and now it shines," Fluttershy replies,

Sunset asks, "Who draws this thing?" The purple duo is going away. Sunset drags them back, "Did you do that?"

Twilight answers, "Eh... yeah. I found a weird gray book and it has a circle in there. So... eh... me and Spike drawing this but it is not complete."

"You are in trouble." Sunset sits down on the stairs, "Now, let's see what we will have."

The circle is shining a little, then it shut down, appears that a blue cat with armor. It doesn't have back legs but its fronts leg can hold a sword. "Meow (Where am I?)" The cat looks around and sees Fluttershy is there, make the cat jumps backward and points the sword at her, "MEOW (Who are you?)

"Don't worry, I am not hurting you." Fluttershy tries to calm the cat down. 

The cat lowers its sword and looks up, it sees Sunset as she watches him amazed.  "Meow (Sunset?)" The cat asks and it rushes to hug her, "MEOw (Sunset, there you are.)

"Noleg?" Sunset hugs him, "Sorry for that." The cat jumps on Sunset's head while others watch the blue cat as they don't believe that this cat can move that fast. The crazy day will be on these days after.
