“Oh, my—look, Angel—it’s an egg!”
My pet bunny circled the egg as he sniffed it from every side. He detected nothing “off” about it, but still, he did not know what to make of it.
“Constance? Hummingway? Did either of you lay this egg?”
My songbird denied having laid the egg, as did my hummingbird. I put my front hoof on the egg, but it felt hollow. I picked it up anyway; my curiosity caused me to do so. I let Angel hop onto my back, and then, the two of us went for a stroll, hoping to find out more about the egg.



“GOOD MORNING, EVERYPONY—and HAPPY SPRING SACRAMENT!”
Pinkie Pie had whipped up a whole batch of chocolate eggs for all my friends—including herself—and some gem eggs for Spike. The baby dragon gobbled the gem eggs all up.
“Is everypony ready for the super-duper Spring Sacrament ceremony yet?! Are we?! Huh?!”
“Calm down, Pinkie Pie. We need to get everything in order. Fortunately, I have a checklist! Everypony, we have to follow the rules of the ceremony to the letter!”



“Another egg!”
A couple of ducks carried their old nest—which was now too small for the both of them—on their backs. I took it from them with my wings, which they let me do.
“A basket? Oh! Why, thank you!”
I put the pink egg—which I had found first—into the nest, followed by the blue egg—which I had just found. Next, Angel found another pink egg. Unlike the first egg, however, that pink egg was more crimson than pink. I put that egg into my basket as well, and then, my bunny and I continued our egg hunt.



“Hang on—aren’t we forgetting somepony?”
Rainbow Dash was right. Somepony was missing—and she knew exactly who was!
“I’ve always known that Fluttershy is shy. Perhaps she thought the ceremony was too scary for her liking. Either that, or she’s gone to stock up on some fresh fruit for her critter companions.”
“That may be so, Applejack, but Fluttershy or no Fluttershy, we need to finish the preparations. Everypony? Spike? Did I forget to add anything to the checklist?”



“Oh, my goodness! Three more eggs—one purple, one orange, and one red! I wonder how all those eggs got here. Their colors are not at all natural.”
Angel shook his head in agreement. I put the three eggs into my basket and looked at all of them. Then, I saw something very special about them.
“Angel, look at the colors of these eggs! They’re the same colors as the Elements Of Harmony!”
Angel nodded his head in excitement.



“There it is, everypony—the Fountain Of Harmony!”
The Fountain Of Harmony stood in the center of the town square. It had seven “eggcups”—one up high in the center and six down low around it.
“Look, everypony! Your Cutie Marks are on the lower eggcups!”
Spike could see the following pictures: a butterfly, a balloon, a spark, a gem, an apple, and a lightning bolt.
