"How can I forget you, Ms. Polomare." Rarity said.
"Oh, Please elaborate, Ms. Rarity." Suri asked.
"Well, you stole Coco's credit by saying that you made the dresses, and cheated on a certain competition." said Rarity.
"Oh, you're the one to talk, I lost my job, my credibility, and my career because of you!" Suri lashed out.
"Do you think we're being ignored, Applejack." Rainbow whispered to Applejack.
"Well, get used to it." Applejack whispered back to Rainbow.
Suri calmed down, "Why don't we have a ladies' bet, whoever makes the best dress will be declared the Best Fashion Designer in All of Equestria."
"Hmph, why would I stoop to such lows, Ms. Polomare?" Rarity retorted.
Suri smirked, "Oh, I think you will be needing this."
She then shows a spool with a rainbow-colored thread to Rarity, who was agasted, "Where did you get that, POLOMARE!"
Suri simply laughed, "Oh, I found this in a certain boutique, but if you want this, you'll have to place all your bets."
Rarity then smirks, "Oh, you're on."
The fillies were trotting through the streets when Windy suggested something to Blooming, "Oh, I know, how about we go to Mount Ponylmpus?"
"What for?" Blooming asked to the eager pegasus.
To fly... there.." The white pegasus said before reprimanding herself, "Oh bollocks, I'm trying to suggest a pegasus thing and you're not a pegasus."
Blooming pondered about this for a moment before announcing something, "How about you let me pick, mate?"
"I suppose..." Windy mumured.
"Great, how about farming?" Blooming asked.
Windy refused, "Too boring."
"Okay, cleaning." She said excitedly.
Weathers looks at her, obviously unimpressed, "Are you serious?"
"This is gonna take forever...." Apple Bloom gloomily said.
As the unexperienced Crusaders are picking what could be their next target, Scootaloo got impatient, "Ugh, It's getting annoying! I'm revealing myself right now!"
Apple Bloom bonked her head, "Are you crazy!?!? We're not trying to scare her to death. We... just...wait."
As the veterans talked, Weathers warned her, "Look, I will say this one last time, please don't suggest anything boring, mundane... anything like that."
Blooming thought for a while, "How about....hoofball?"
Weather lit up at this, "Now you are speaking my language."
As Rarity and Suri were almost ready to show their wares, Applejack, Rainbow, and Pinkie were gathering in the castle courtyard.
Applejack talked to Pinkie, "So.... Where're the others?"
"Oh they're either in the castle or exploring." Pinkie ecstatically said.
"Really do hope Rarity's not putting me in one of those clothes." Rainbow pleaded to herself.
Pinkie smiled, "Of course not, silly, you're one of the judges, remember..."
"Oh... right," Rainbow said before the lights went on.
Rarity first came out in a blue dress filled with stunning jewels, and light blue hoofshoes with a violet gemstone in the middle of the crown.
Suri then trotted next, with a green dress and dark blue bracelets and a tiara. The judges were very impressed at both dresses.
Then came the scores, Applejack, Rainbow, and Pinkie gave Rarity's dress the scores nine, eight, and ten respectively. Suri's got Applejack an eight, Rainbow's score earned her a nine and Pinkie gave her an eight. Rarity has won this ladies bet.
Suri was agitated but her anger quickly cooled off, "I'm impressed, so here you go, A bet's a bet." She gave Rarity the rainbow spool.
"Thank you, darling, though I must say, I'm surprised that you didn't cheated." Rarity said to her. "A lady doesn't cheat in a ladies bets." Rarity smiled at this.
As Rarity and her friends left the courtyard, Luna then came onto the scene.
Suri then said to Luna, "How are you, my dear Princess."
"Not feeling well, but thanks for asking." Suri noticed the phrase and nodded her head.
She then asked, "Are the Knights forming again?" To which Luna nodded before going inside the castle with Ms. Polomare.
Blooming and Windy were playing yet another game of hoofball, but Windy was quickly winning this match. The pegasus then kicked the ball, using her wings as momentum, into the goal.
"Yahooo" She shouted.
"That.... was....... a good game." Flowers said, being out of breath.
"Yeah, I concur. It is good game," Weathers agreed but as she said this, a gray teenaged filly with light grey mane and blue eyes with a thundercloud as her cutie mark.
She sternly said to the white filly, "Windy Weathers."
She turned and said, "Hey there, Stormy."
They looked at each other in the eye before they burst out laughing, "Back to business, how are you... and who's your new friend." Storm said.
Windy smiled at this, "This is my friend, Blooming Flowers, and I am fine, thank you very much."
Storm sniffed the fillies, "Looks like you've done some work, you smell like tree sap."
Windy snickered, "I guess you've noticed."
Stormy ruptured out a few laughs, "Just make sure you'll be back before 6, Clear needs you tonight."
Windy held out a hoof, "Yeah yeah, with your college work and all that, I'll be fine."
Storm nodded before flying out, and Blooming asked Windy, "Who is she."
Windy said, "My big sister, Stormy Weathers. Now what time is it."
Scootaloo then appeared before the white filly, "4:00, kid."
Windy was surprised, "Oh,... and who... are you?"
"Scootaloo." She plainly said.
"And I'm Apple Bloom."
Windy then turned to brown filly, "Were you talking to them?"
Flowers was surprised to say the least, "How did you.."
"You were always talking to.... basically nopony." Windy said.
Flowers snickered a bit, "I should've guessed you'll suspect something."
Apple Bloom then interjected, "Let's get to the castle, It'll more private."
The new Crusaders earnestly agreed and went inside.
When they reached the Royal Castle, they saw Applejack who was distress, "Apple Bloom, There you are!"
"Applejack, What's happenin'" Apple Bloom said.
Applejack then signaled them to follow her. When they reached one of the many Castle bedrooms, she opened it to find an injured Ocellus, surrounded by Twilight, Rarity, Luna, and Smolder.
“What happened?” Urgently said Scootaloo.
“She just crashed through to wall.” Smolder said, before Ocellus gained consciousness.
“Storm King..... Captured the others.... Has the mausoleum.” Ocellus said and tried to get up.
Smolder stopped her, “You need to rest.”
Suddenly, a noise erupted through the halls.
A servant then gone inside, “Um.... the queen wants to see you.”
They nodded and went to the meeting room, but Ocellus tried getting up again
“I’ll be fine, my wings are just out of commission.” Ocellus said.
They nodded and went to the meeting room, where the others are here.
Queen Haven then said, “They’re here.”
Apple Bloom interjected, “Whose’s here?”
The queen said, “A riot, said something about us harboring ponies who imprisoned an innocent filly.”
Twilight then asked, “Who told them this.”
“Details are murky but it was a pegasus filly with a rook as a cutie mark.”
“No...”
Suddenly, the doors burst open to reveal Cozy Glow, who grinned evilly “Hello, princess.”
