"Spike, grab the quill, I need to write another letter to Princess Celestia!" said Twilight Sparkle. Spike grabbed a quill and a scroll. Twilight dictated him what to write "Dear Princess Celestia, today, I learned a huge lesson in friendship." She continued for a while until she got to the ending "Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.". Spike blew a flame on the letter and it disappeared. He said "All done Twi!"
All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Spike went down and opened it only to reveal Pinkie Pie standing in front. "Hi there!" she said. "Hello Pinkie Pie! What brings you here?" Twilight asked. "I'm inviting everypony to Gummy's 2-year old birthday party!" Pinkie replies and holds out an invitation that reads:
You're Invited!
Who: Gummy
What: Birthday Party
When: Today In Two Hours!
Where: Sugar Cube Corner
Why: To Celebrate Gummy's Birthday!
"Wow, Pinkie! Last party for Gummy was amazing! I'd be glad to come!" Twilight said. "Great!" Pinkie starts bouncing around and bounces to her next location.
2 Hours Later…
"Well, it's time for Gummy's birthday party now!" Twilight headed out the door and for the Sugar Cube Corner. Once there, she saw Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and of course, Gummy there. "Hey there, Twilight!" Pinkie said "Come on and dance!" "Ok Pinkie Pie!" Twilight made her way to the dance floor and began strutting her stuff.
Smoke suddenly started filling the room making it very hard for ponies to see their own hoof in front of their face. "W-where is this smoke coming from?" asked Fluttershy, now hiding underneath a table. Rainbow Dash was puzzled "Strange. There wasn't any fog scheduled for today. I'm sure it's nothing we pegasi can't fix!" Rainbow Dash burst out the door and started circling in air, almost to make a tornado and huddled all the clouds together. For a moment, all the skies were clear but after the first minute, even with all the previous clouds huddled near Cloudsdale, fog starts appearing once more. "Where is all this smoke coming from!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
The radio that was playing the music falls over all of a sudden followed by drinks on the table spilling. "Well ah'll be, strange fog followed by an unexpected earthquake, what in tarnation is going on here!" shouted Applejack. "What'll happen to my beautiful boutique!" complained Rarity.
On the outside, Rainbow Dash called for the other five ponies, and alligator. As they went outside, there was a bright line coming from the sky and two pegasus figures could be made coming down carrying a carriage. On the carriage was none other than Princess Celestia. The ponies bowed down and the princess began speaking "Twilight, my faithful student. I have some distressing news. Apparently, although you defeated Discord by wielding the Elements of Harmony once more, residue of his chaos still terrorizes Equestria and any slight discord can wake Discord up again." The mane six looked at each other "The Cutie Mark Crusaders!"
All the ponies, including Princess Celestia and Gummy, ran for the schoolhouse but Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were nowhere to be seen. Twilight went up to Cherilee "Cherilee, do you know where the Cutie Mark Crusaders are?" She responded "No, they didn't come to school today, I assumed they were sick. You haven't seen them either?" Applejack now walked up to Cherilee "No, we haven't, and any slight bickerin' can cause Discord to wake up again. That's why we're worried." Explained Applejack.
The ponies continued looking for the Cutie Mark Crusaders and finally found them…right next to the statue of Discord! Not only that but they were arguing, a lot. This couldn't be good…
