Two Slumber Parties for the Price of One
“Wow. I never thought that Starlight Glimmer would be afraid of pigs, much less to the fact that she wasn’t afraid during her time at the Ponyville Providence Fair.”
Those words came from Granny Smith, who was communicating from the video tablet to Applejack, who had Twilight Sparkle and Spike by her side.
“It’s kind of weird,” Applejack said. “She didn’t have any trouble with pigs, only to freak out at the sight of them in the Emerald Forest.”
“So how come she developed Swinophobia?” Granny Smith asked.
“From what Princess Luna told me while she talked with Princess Cadance,” Twilight Sparkle said. “Starlight Glimmer had a nightmare involving giant pigs rolling at her with the intent to crush her, and it started sometime after our trip to the Ponyville Providence Fair. In fact, it’s more like a bit after the Grand Gallopin Gala.”
“That’s horrible,” Granny Smith said. “I know pigs are the most gentle creatures ever, and I know that through experience. But it does break my heart to see a little one develop an unintended fear of these creatures.”
“It does for me as well,” Applejack said. “If there was only something we could do to help her fear of pigs.”
“Isn’t that Wanda sweetie helping get Starlight back to where you are?” Granny Smith asked.
“She is,” Twilight replied. “Wanda’s a flier, so she can get her to the Ruby Library, safe and sound. Also, Sunset Shimmer just arrived and Spike’s with us as you can tell.”
“I’m glad she’s getting better,” Granny Smith laughed. “It would be a shame for her to miss out on the fun there.”
“You and me both,” Twilight giggled.
“Hey Granny,” Applejack asked. “How are ma and pa doing with the refugees?”
“You don’t need to worry about ‘em,” Granny Smith chuckled. “They’ve got some serious help from the Royal Guard, the Wonderbolts, and even the Chancellor’s pitching in.”
“I sure hope things don’t get any worse in Canterlot,” Applejack said. “For the people of La Maresa, for my parents, and for you.”
“Worry,” Spike said.
“I know you worry for her, Spike,” Twilight said. “But don’t you worry.
Meanwhile, in another room of the Ruby Library, Princess Luna was looking down at a video tablet with Princess Cadance and Shining Armor’s face on it.
“This is our fault, Princess Cadance,” Princess Luna said. “I should have told you all about Starlight’s Swinophobia.”
“It’s still weird that she developed this between our time at the fair and now,” Princess Cadance said. “She wasn’t afraid of pigs, back then. But now?”
“Like I said,” Princess Luna said. “I should have warned you, Shining Armor and Starlight Glimmer about the pigs in the Emerald Woods. That’s on me.”
“I also heard that Sunset Shimmer is going to pay a visit to the Ruby Library,” Shining Armor said. “Glad she’s feeling better.”
“I’m glad of that as well,” Princess Luna said.
“By the way,” Princess Cadance said. “I heard Starlight’s not the only one with a phobia of her own.”
“You’re right on that,” Princess Luna said. “Danged Spell has a phobia of his own. Have you heard of Katsaridaphobia?”
“That’s a fear of cockroaches, right?” Shining Armor replied.
“It is,” Princess Luna said. “Spell got it prior to coming to Canterlot. .One look at a cockroach and he freaks out.”
“Can’t he use his Wolf’s Breath curse to nullify his phobia?” Shining Armor asked.
“I’m afraid not,” Princess Luna said. “Spell’s fear of cockroaches will override his Wolf’s Breath Curse the moment he takes a look at those insects. And he’s not the first with this curse that was overwritten by a phobia.”
“I know,” Princess Cadance said. “Despite the fact that Princess Celestia has the Wolf’s Breath curse as well, she loses it when she sees a chicken.”
“Wait,” Shining Armor said. “What made Princess Celestia afraid of chickens?”
“You don’t wanna know,” Princess Cadance replied.
“Well speaking of which,” Princess Luna said. “Princess Celestia and Argyle Starshine are waiting outside for Wanda and Starlight to show up. In fact, Abigail is waiting out there as well.”
“Did Sunset Shimmer also arrive?” Princess Cadance asked.
“And she brought Spike with her,” Princess Luna said. “Actually, I think she’s with Celestia, Argyle and Abigail at the moment.”
“Well I’m glad she’s feeling better,” Shining Armor said. “She’s a strong filly who never gives up, and that’s the best thing about her.”
Outside of the Ruby Library as the sun was setting , Princess Celestia, Sunset Shimmer, Argyle Starshine and Abigail Albright looked up in the air as Wanda flew towards her, carrying Starlight Glimmer in her arms.
“I heard about Starlight’s swinophobia,” Argyle said. “Didn’t imagine there were some pigs in the forest.”
“This was something I should have addressed to Starlight before she went in there,” Princess Celestia said. “Boy are her parents going to chew me out for that.”
“It’s okay, mother,” Sunset Shimmer said. “We all make mistakes.”
“I know,” Princess Celestia said. “But at the same time, we should have accommodated Starlight Glimmer’s swinophobia.”
“Swinophobia?” Abigail asked.
Celestia scooted Abigail by her side and said “It’s a fear of pigs. For some reason, Starlight developed this sometime after the Grand Gallopin Gala.”
“I wish there was something I could do to help her out,” Sunset said. “Maybe help her with her swinophobia.”
“In time she will conquer it,” Princess Celestia said. “But for now, let us greet Wanda and Starlight.”
The moment that Princess Celestia finished speaking, Wanda Young touched down nearby, slowly releasing her grip on Starlight Glimmer. Once Starlight’s four hooves were planted on the ground, Sunset Shimmer ran up to Starlight Glimmer and gave her a big hug.
“Starlight,” Sunset said. “I’m glad you made it here.”
“After what I had to go through,” Starlight said as she looked at Sunset with a smile, “I’m glad to at least be back here.”
“Well you’re in luck,” Sunset said. “We’re having a slumber party here at the library.”
“A slumber party?” Wanda said. “Mommy never told me about this.”
“Well when I arrived here,” Sunset said, “Mother told us about the idea of the slumber party, considering Twilight Sparkle’s fascination for books. So she went ahead and brought some sleeping bags for the night.”
Starlight released her hold on Sunset before she jumped into the air, yelling out “YAAAAAY! SLUMBER PARTY WITHOUT PIGS!”
“And the best part is that we have plenty of things to do tonight,” Princess Celestia said. “I’ve had Majordomo Kibitz bring some food in for all your friends, plus we’re going to tell some scary ghost stories.”
“That sounds great,” Wanda said.
“And best off,” Princess Celestia said, “Is that there won’t be any phobias that you have to worry about. You have my word.”
Suddenly, the sound of a nearby bush rustling caught Starlight’s attention. She immediately held onto Wanda, shivering in fear.
“Oh no,” Starlight cried. “The pigs must have followed me here.”
“Oh don’t you worry,” Wanda said. “Mommy will scare any pigs off if they approach.”
“That’s right,” Princess Celestia laughed. “After all, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
But as the bushes began to rustle faster, the sound of a chicken clucking echoed through the air. This caught Princess Celestia’s attention as her eyes shrunk down.
“Oh no,” Princess Celestia said. “I spoke too soon.”
Immediately, a chicken emerged from the bushes and landed on the ground, pecking at it with its beak. Princess Celestia got one good look at it and her irises shrunk down in fear.
“AHHHHHH!” Celestia screamed before she ran back inside, leaving Starlight, Sunset, Wanda, Abigail and Argyle outside.
“What just happened?” Argyle Starshine asked.
“Something we forgot to bring up,” Sunset Shimmer said. “Mother is afraid of chickens.”
“Wow,” Starlight said, staring at the chicken. “I feel sorry for Princess Celestia. In fact, it’s surprising that she has a fear like I do..”
“I guess you and mommy have a bit in common, Starlight,” Wanda stated.
“Scary,” Abigail said.
It was later that evening inside the Ruby Library. Sleeping bags were rolled out across the floors of the secret wing. Food was placed on a table for hungry sleepers. Nearby, Princess Luna was reading a tale to Wanda Young, Abigail Albright, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Moondancer, Danged Spell, Cozy Glow, Applejack and Rarity. Nearby, Princess Celestia and Argyle Starshine observed everyone enjoying themselves.
“And with the wolf running as fast as possible,” Princess Luna read. “Little Red Riding Hood was thankful for her grandma’s help. Together, they lived happily ever after.”
Most of the younglings clapped to Luna’s storytelling, with the exception of Danged Spell, who looked disappointed.
“Seriously?” Danged Spell replied. “They treat the wolf as the bad guy? Couldn’t they have used a hyena? A jackal? Or a wolverine?”
“Spell,” Sunburst laughed. “You take that story too seriously.”
“Yeah,” Moondancer giggled. “Not all wolves were meant to be good.”
“Well at least it was Little Red Riding Hood and not the Three Little Pigs,” Starlight Glimmer said. “I read that story and it makes my nightmares worse. What kind of monsters on this so-called planet Earth would make this sadistic tale?”
Danged Spell held Starlight close to her and said “This is why I would be the Big Bad Wolf to protect you from those nasty little pigs. I’ll huff, and I’ll huff, and I’ll SMASH their houses down.”
As Danged Spell stood by Starlight Glimmer, howling into the air, everyone around Danged Spell laughed out loud. Even Starlight couldn’t help but put in a chuckle.
“Seems Danged Spell really wants to be more like his Wolf’s Breath curse,” Sunset giggled.
“You’re not kidding,” Twilight said. “I’ve read up about some ponies who are comfortable with their own curse to the point where they embrace the idea of being a wolf over a pony.”
“Personally,” Applejack laughed. “I think Spell’s really gone to the dogs.”
Spell got up close to Applejack and said “You’re barking up the wrong tree, Applejack. I’m more than a mere dog. I’m a wolf, and a wolf fears nothing.”
“Fears nothing?” Applejack said with a smug look on her face.
Danged Spell walked up next to Starlight Glimmer and said “That’s right. As the mighty wolf, I won’t let ANYTHING get in my way. For the wolf is strong. The wolf is smart. The wolf is invincible.”
Suddenly, Abigail pointed to a nearby corner and said “Roach.” Danged Spell’s eyes shrunk down as he slowly turned towards the corner.
“Oh no,” Danged Spell said.
Standing right at the corner was a small cockroach that scurried across the ground towards Danged Spell’s legs. The colt looked down and shivered in fear, looking like he was about to scream.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Danged Spell screamed. “ROACH!”
Nearby everyone in the vicinity gasped in shock as Danged Spell jumped onto the table, screaming at the roach.
“Wait just a second,” Cozy Glow said. “Danged Spell is afraid of roaches?”
“Honestly,” Applejack said. “I did not see that coming.”
“I’ve read up about that,” Sunburst said. “Katsaridaphobia. A fear of roaches.”
Suddenly, Danged Spell reached out and grabbed a book next to Sunburst that said “The Secrets of Evevanya.”
“Spell, wait,” Sunburst yelled.
But Danged Spell didn’t pay attention. Instead, he was focused on chasing down the roach in an attempt to squash it with the book in his hooves.
“GET BACK HERE YOU SLIMY MANIAC!” Danged Spell yelled, slamming the book many times on the floor. “I’LL SMASH YOU INTO A ROACH PANCAKE!”
Sunburst got up and ran towards Danged Spell before pulling the book out of his hooves.
“Careful Spell,” Sunburst said. “I was reading that.”
Danged Spell breathed in a panic, staring at the roach as it scurried down another path. Starlight Glimmer looked down and watched as the roach slipped down into a crack at the bottom of the wall.
“Wow,” Starlight said. “I never saw a roach before. Curious creatures.”
“No offense Starlight,” Rarity said. “But they looked disgusting. If one of those creeped up behind me, I would have freaked out as well.”
Sunburst looked down at the book and said “Well what matters now is that the book is intact.”
Wanda took a look at the book’s title and said “Hey Sunburst. What is an Evevanya?”
“Not just a what,” Sunburst said, opening the book. “A place and a people. Come take a look.”
Wanda walked up to Sunburst as he flipped the pages of the book. Moondancer, Twilight Sparkle, Abigail and Spike all gathered around Wanda and Sunburst. The moment Sunburst stopped turning pages, Wanda noticed two drawings of human-like creatures, especially one with insect wings.
“That…that looks just like me,” Wanda said, pointing to the sketch of the human with insect wings.
“It’s called a Dawn,” Sunburst said. “They are one of the two main humanoid species of what is suppose to be Evevanya. They have the ability to conceal their fairy-like wings, which they use for flight. They’re also capable of magical feats.”
Wanda looked at her back as her insect-like wings formed.
“So,” Wanda said. “I may be this…Dawn creature?”
“It might be possible,” Sunburst said, pointing to the humanoid figure with bat wings. “But Dawns aren’t the only humanoids of Evevanya. The ones with demon wings are called Dusk.”
“It’s like how Dawns represent the light and Dusks represent the dark,” Twilight said.
“Wow,” Wanda said, amazed. “I never realized that I might be one of these Dawns, and not an Earthling.”
“Don’t count that out,” Sunburst said. “Dawns and Dusk usually mate with each other. But on a rare case, they also mate with humans from the planet Earth. So there's a chance that you’re the off-spring of a Dawn and a Human.”
“Wanda is a human and a dawn?” Starlight said. “That’s wonderful.”
Danged Spell shifted his eyes towards Wanda and said “So the monkey from Earth is really a fairy from this…Evevanya? That is a pixelated revelation.”
“And I think I do have some explanation about this,” Princess Luna said. “Back then, we assumed you to be an Earth-bound human. But when you first revealed your fairy wings, we knew something was off and we couldn’t put our hoof on it.”
Danged Spell turned towards Luna and said “But you should have told us about this. We would have understood if Wanda was an Earthling or this…Dawn creature.”
“Spell’s right,” Cozy Glow said, flying right next to him. “We deserve to know who Wanda really was.”
Princess Luna just smiled and said “You’re right. We should have been more thorough about this. But then, why did we leave that book out in the open?”
Everyone looked at her and said “Wha?”
“Think about it,” Princess Luna said. “We didn’t even bother to hide the book before you got here. In fact, I may have purposefully left it out so that you could all learn about this third world called Evevanya, and the Evevanyians.”
“Evevanya,” Abigail said. “Amadeus.”
Wanda looked down at Abigail and said “Abby. Are you also from Evevanya?”
Abigail looked up at Wanda and said “Yes.”
“Wow,” Spike said, walking up to Abigail and placing his hand on the kitty’s cheek.
“So little Abigail is also from Evevanya,” Rarity said, petting Abigail on the head and causing the kitty to purr. “What a coincidence that Wanda’s close companion is from the same world that she was born in.”
“Now that I think about it,” Sunburst said, “I read about this cat species known as the Abyssinians. Some say they didn’t originate from this planet, but migrated from another planet. When I read about The Secrets of Evevanya, they also talk about the cat species that existed alongside the Dawn, the Dusk, the Centaur, and other creatures. Ironically, this also includes Ponies.”
“Ponies exist in Evevanya?” Sunset said. “So does that mean we had a species of pony that migrated to Evevanya? Or did we originally exist there?”
“To be honest, I’m not so sure,” Sunburst said. “Our history goes far back to the founding of Equestria, to the era of Princess Platinum, Clover the Clever, Commander Hurricane, Private Pansy, Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie. It might be possible that our species originated in Evevanya, and that we migrated to Equestria before its founding.”
“It would be amazing if we were from Evevanya,” Starlight said before she ran up to Sunburst and gave him a big hug.
“Starlight,” Sunburst said as Starlight Glimmer held him tight. “Now’s not the time for huggies.”
“But the fact that you told us all about this means a whole lot,” Starlight said before kissing Sunburst on the cheek. “Thanks.”
Sunburst blushed with embarrassment as Starlight held him close, causing everyone in the vicinity to burst into laughter.
“Wow,” Wanda laughed. “That’s gotta be embarrassing.”
“Well you know what they say,” Danged Spell laughed. “A kiss is as good as a mile. Get it?”
“Danged Spell,” everyone laughed.
“Never change, Danged Spell,” Cozy Glow laughed. “Never change.”
As nearly everyone laughed out loud, Princess Celestia and Argyle Starshine watched from afar with smiles on their faces.
“It’s amazing how you were able to unite these students together, Princess Celestia,” Argyle Starshine said.
“I’ve had a ton of experience not just with teaching younglings,” Princess Celestia said, “But also with raising younglings of my own.”
“But still,” Argyle said. “The mysteries of not just Wanda’s origins, but also our origins, are fascinating to learn. It makes us wonder if we did come from this Evevanya.”
“Well,” Princess Celestia said. “You might want to write that down, in case there are ponies who want to learn about this.”
“Good idea,” Argyle Starshine said.
Immediately, Argyle Starshine walked up to his book and opened it before picking up the quill from the inkwell and placing the tip onto the page.
“The land of Evevanya,” Argyle Starshine wrote. “What is this place like? Is it as magical as Equestria, or far more than even we can imagine? And the people of Evevanya, calling themselves the Dawn and the Dusk, resemble humans from the planet Earth. But at the same time, they possess features that are not in ordinary humans, such as insect or bat wings, and magic of their own. The Evevanyian people are a curious species to us ponies. But to know one Evevanyian by the name of Wanda Young allows us to learn from them, while teaching them about what we, as a people, represent.”
Argyle dipped his pen back into the inkwell before placing the tip back on the page.
“And yet,” Argyle Starshine wrote. “There is more to us than meets the eye. Ponies exist in Evevanya. But what are they like? Are they civilized like us? Or do they enjoy the simple life? Furthermore, there is word going on that our kind actually existed in Evevanya before the era of legends like Princess Platinum, Clover the Clever, Chancellor Puddinghead, Smart Cookie, Commander Hurricane, and Private Pansy. If it is true that we came from Evevanya and not Equestria, then we may be more connected to the Evevanyians than we realize.”
As Argyle placed his pen back into the inkwell, Princess Celestia walked up to the young stallion teacher.
“Ever considered what you want to do with this book once you’re finished?” Princess Celestia asked. “Like show it to the whole world?”
“Honestly,” Argyle Starshine said. “I have no idea on what to do when I’m done.”
Later that night, deep within the Emerald Woods, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor looked up at the night sky with a bonfire nearby and a pair of sticks planted next to it with marshmallows on top. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Ditzy Doo, Spitfire, Trixie, Golden Lace, Juniper Montage, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk were roasting marshmallows around the fire with metal sticks.
“This was a great idea to camp out here,” Pinkie Pie said. “The great outdoors and hanging out with your best friends.”
“It’s too bad that Starlight Glimmer isn’t with us,” Fluttershy said. “I felt sorry for her after she got scared by the pigs.”
“She’s going to be alright,” Princess Cadance said. “I just talked with Princess Celestia recently, and she told me that she’s getting along great with the Ruby Tower slumber party group. Especially Wanda and Sunburst.”
“That’s what matters the most,” Trixie said. “For the Great and Powerful Glimglam to have some form of happiness. That is the Great and Powerful Trixie’s wish, and it shall be fulfilled. That is why I thank the Great and Powerful Wanda for helping out Glimglam.”
“You don’t need to worry, Trixie,” Adagio laughed. “She’s got the best of friends from Canterlot and from La Maresa. Which includes you.”
“Oh,” Trixie blushed. “Sorry about that.”
As everyone chuckled, Shining Armor pulled his marshmallow stick out from near the fire and touched it.
“Guys,” Shining Armor said. “I believe the marshmallows are done.”
Everyone pulled their marshmallows away from the fire and pulled them off their respective sticks. They all placed it on top of their respective pile of graham crackers and chocolate before placing another wafer of graham cracker on top.
“I never had a smore before,” Golden Lace said, looking at the smore. “But this looks irresistible.”
“It’s amazing what you can do with simple things to create a delicious snack,” Shining Armor said.
Golden Lace looked at her smore before biting right into it. She chewed slowly, smiling deeper with every taste of the cracker, chocolate and marshmallow before swallowing the bite.
“Wow,” Golden Lace said. “I never knew what I was missing. I wish I grew up like this.”
“My parents used to make smores during those summer nights with my uncle Canter Zoom,” Juniper Montage said.
“Must be great to have parents like that,” Aria Blaze said. “We never had smores until now.”
“Yeah,” Sonata Dusk said with a bit of marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker in her mouth. “These ain’t tacos, but they’re delicious.”
Aria placed her right hoof on her upper face and said “Sonata. Don’t talk with your mouth full.”
Sonata Dusk swallowed the food in her mouth before she said “Oops. Sorry.”
But as Ditzy Doo took a bite out of her smores, Rainbow Dash starred up into the sky, slowly nibbling on her delicious treat. Ditzy swallowed the piece of food before turning towards Rainbow Dash.
“Hey Rainbow,” Ditzy asked. “What are you looking up there for?”
“Look at all those stars,” Rainbow Dash said. “Even compared to back home in La Maresa, it’s a beautiful sight to behold.”
Ditzy looked up at the night sky and said “Yeah. They’re purty like diamonds.”
“You all see that up there?” Rainbow Dash said, pointing to a cascade of stars in the eastern sky. “They look far different than the ones back in Equestria.”
“Oh yeah,” Fluttershy said, looking up at the sky. “I think one of them looks like a bird that soars across the sky.”
“I can see them as well,” Shining Armor said. “One of them looks like a shield. If only I could reach out and grab it, I could use it to defend my family and friends from evil.”
“Still willing to put your life on the line, Shining Armor?” Princess Cadance laughed.
“That’s been my dream for a long time, Shining Armor said. “To be a member of the Royal Guard. Too bad the academy shut down because of the fear mongering by that Neigh Nanners character.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Golden Lace said. “If he wasn’t on my mother’s payroll, none of this madness would have happened.”
“It’s not your fault, Lace,” Shining Armor said in a reassuring tone. “You don’t need to apologize. Sometimes, fate can be a cruel mistress.”
“Well speaking of which,” Sonata Dusk said. “I think I can see a taco in those stars.”
“You and your tacos,” Adagio Dazzle laughed. “Always thinking about them twenty-four seven.”
“I don’t see anything wrong, sis,” Sonata Dusk said. “Besides, it’s not wrong to obsess over one’s favorite food.”
“You’re right,” Ditzy Doo said, looking up at the sky. “As a matter of fact, I can see muffins in the sky.”
“Muffins?” Sonata Dusk asked.
“Yeah,” Ditzy said. “Delicious delectables that you want to sink your teeth in.”
“You know what I can see?” Trixie said, pointing up at the sky. “I can see myself on stage, putting on a Great and Powerful show for all of Equestria to see.”
“Oh Trixie,” Golden Lace laughed. “Still dreaming of being the top magician in Equestria like your father Jack Pot?”
“Oh you betcha,” Trixie said. “I dream of one day making my father proud by becoming the best magician in all of Equestria, to truly live up to that title of Great and Powerful. That is my ultimate dream.”
Rainbow Dash turned to Pinkie Pie and said “Hey Pinkie. What do you see in those stars?”
“Well, I can see,” Pinkie Pie said, before pausing for a bit.
“Pinkie?” Rainbow Dash said, noticing Pinkie’s hesitation.
“Well,” Pinkie Pie blushed. “You don’t really want to know.”
Rainbow Dash slammed her hoof on the picnic blanket and said “Oh come on. I deserve to know.”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Pinkie Pie said.
Pinkie Pie reached over and whispered right into Rainbow Dash’s ear. For some reason, Rainbow Dash’s eyes shrunk down as her face popped up with a surprised look on her face.
“You know what,” Rainbow Dash said. “You got a point there. Hoo boy, I’m not going to get that mental image out of my head.”
As Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash giggled, Golden Lace and Juniper Montage looked up at the sky with amazement. The two La Maresa ponies stopped laughing to turn towards Lace and Juniper.
“Hey Lace,” Pinkie Pie said. “What do the stars remind you of?
“When I look up at the sky,” Golden Lace said, “I see all the friends I made paired up together, like we were meant to be together.”
“Like a magic that burns bright?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yeah,” Golden Lace replied. “As if we were all united not just as friends, but also as family.”
“When I look up at the sky,” Juniper Montage said. “What I see is a movie reel showing a feature. It has all of us enjoying our time here at the Golden Land.”
“And you want to become a director,” Golden Lace said. “Just like your uncle.”
“Yeah,” Juniper Montage said. “Maybe if I do see Uncle Canter Zoom once more, I may ask him for a spare video camera that I can use to create a movie about all of us.”
“That sounds like a way past cool idea,” Rainbow Dash said. “But if he doesn’t, then I think one of us has a camera to use to shoot our movie.”
“I think all of us have a camera on our phones,” Golden Lace said. “And if one of us uses that to shoot the movie, then we’re all set.”
“Then tomorrow morning,” Juniper Montage said, “We should head back to the Ruby Library and let them know of the idea of a movie about us at the Golden Land.”
“Great idea,” Adagio Dazzle said. “I’ll be happy to pitch in as well.”
“So will I,” Trixie said. “For the Great and Powerful Trixie is up for any challenge.”
As every youngling talked with each other about the movie, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor watched from afar, their smiles had left their faces, and their hearts were still as warm as the bonfire that kept them warm.
“A movie?” Shining Armor said. “Now that’s something I’d be up to.”
“We’ll talk with Princess Celestia sometime in the morning,” Princess Cadance said. “I think I have a phone that can shoot video in ultra high definition.”
“Great idea,” Shining Armor said as Princess Cadance placed her arm around his back. “Wait till Mom and Dad get a load of the finished product.”
Everyone continued to talk the night away as the moon in the sky shone across the entire Golden Land, as if their fun and happiness would last forever.
