Chapter 1: An Old and New Friend

It is a bright sunny day in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, AppleJack and Pinkie Pie were all headed to the park to meet Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

"So what do you girls think it is that Rainbow and Fluttershy want to show us?" asked Twilight.

"Ah don't know "Twi" all ah know is that ah could be back at the farm bucking apples right now cider season is just ah-round the corner" said Applejack

"I for one agree with Applejack" said Rarity "I'm in the middle of a huge order and if I don't complete it on time it would be t-"

"the... worst...possible...thing...ever!" interrupted Applejack in the best impression of Rarity she could do.
While Rarity had an annoyed look, Pinkie Pie was laughing even Twilight found it a little funny.

Twilight knew she had to say something before things could get worst. so while Pinkie Pie was jumping around asking Applejack to do an impression of her next Twilight spoke

" You guys please, I know you're all busy, I myself could go home right now rearranging the library but Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy asked all of us to come and that it was important and as their friends we have to be there".

Rarity and Applejack stood there for a brief moment "Ah reck'n your right Twilight" said Applejack with a smile

"I agree also, I know Fluttershy and Rainbow wouldn't be interrupting our work unless it was important" said Rarity.

Twilight smiled she felt pride that she prevented a fight between her friends and they continued on their way. All the while Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity were grinning, little did Twilight know was that there was never going to be a fight but the three decided to let their friend keep her victory anyway.

When the they arrived at the park they began searching for the two pegasi. Almost an hour has passed and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were nowhere to be found. Also Pinkie Pie's constant talking about the possibility that Rainbow and Fluttershy are planning a surprise party for them didn't help and along with some wrong directions from a grey Pegasus with a blond mane and cross-eyes caused Rarity to get agitated

"I swear when I get my hooves on Rainbow I am going to--",

"Look!" Pinkie Pie interrupted jumping with excitement with her leg extended in front of her. From a distance the four can see a yellow Pegasus with a long pink mane "Fluttershy!" they all yelled running towards her.

Fluttershy was hovering a few feet off the ground looking up with a smile until she heard her name being yelled. The volume was loud enough to scare her that she fell to the ground flat on her stomach, Fluttershy had her eyes covered with her forelegs shaking in fear.

"Fluttershy you don't need to be scared it just us" said a familiar voice.

"Twilight?" said Fluttershy softly uncovering one of her eyes.

"Oh I'm so sorry it's just... you guys were so loud" has Fluttershy was speaking Pinkie Pie interrupted with a bombardment of questions

"SO WHATS THE SURPRISE?! HUH, HUH IS IT A SURPRISE PARTY?! HOW BIG IS THE CAKE? OH IS IT A CHOCOLATE CAKE? OR A BANANA CAKE? GASP! IS IT BOTH? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I COULD OF--" Applejack wrap her foreleg around Pinkie Pie's mouth when she saw the look of fear and confusion on Fluttershy's face "Sorry bout that" she said.

With Pinkie Pie momentarily silenced Twilight saw the opportunity to speak

"So Fluttershy what is it that you and Rainbow Dash wanted us to see?".

After a few seconds Fluttershy snapped out of her stunned state "oh...yes, um where is?"

see looked around at the sky until she found what she was looking for. She pointed at the direction of Rainbow Dash's location to the other four. "There she is I'll call her now" said Fluttershy, as she inhaled a big breath the others were expecting a rare shout from her. Expectations were high and when the moment came Fluttershy said

"Rainbow Dash! there all here!"

after a painful moment of awkward silence an oblivious Fluttershy said in her normal voice "huh? I can't believe she didn't hear me?".

"Yeah it's a real mystery" Applejack said quietly to Rarity nodding in agreement.

"Let me give it a try?" Twilight said walking in front of Fluttershy to get a better look at where Rainbow Dash was flying "Hey Rainbow Dash! we're here!".

As far as she was it was clear she heard Twilight's call and was flying towards them. As Rainbow Dash was flying closer Twilight could see she was not alone. Rainbow Dash landed in front of them but the other Pegasus stayed in the air.

"Hay what kept all of you?" said Rainbow excitedly,

"What kept us?" said Rarity with an annoyed tone "we got lost trying to find you".

Pinkie Pie out of nowhere appeared in front of Rarity "Where's the surprise party Rainbow Dash?" she said confusing Rainbow so Twilight intervened

"What Pinkie Pie means is what is it you wanted to show us?". At that moment Rainbow Dash gave a mischievous grin she turned around and looked up at the sky where the other Pegasus was and waved her foreleg. Suddenly the other Pegasus disappeared from where it was and then with the exception to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all of them one by one were engulfed by a greenish blur spinning around them. After each of them recovered from dizziness Pinkie Pie was cheering "Again Again! that was so awesome!"

While Rarity's eye twitched in shock when she saw the mess her mane was in the mirror. Rainbow Dash was laughing hard even Fluttershy hiding her giggling, Twilight after fixing up her mane walked up to Rainbow Dash

"So Rainbow Dash whose is this pony? I've never seen her around here in Ponyville before?" she asked curiously.

"Right right" Rainbow dash said turning around to introduced the four to this new Pegasus. The Pegasus was a green mare with long purple mane and tail, and on her flank were three gold rings as her cutie mark.

"Everypony, she is an old friend of mine and Fluttershy since growing up in Cloudsdale I want all of you to meet Wind Burst".
