Twilight was currently going about organizing a few things. "Twilight, you only get this nervous about things being perfect when Celestia is set to visit, but I know that she won't be visiting soon. So why are you freaking out like this?" Sunset asked.
"Because we're expecting someone whose visiting from beyond the stars whose not that Rob character. Apperently, they wanted to drop by ponyville for the day." Twilight said.
"It's just a guest Twilight. Just be yourself, and you'll be fine making friends with them." Spike said.
Twilight sighed. "Your right Spike. Good thing I have you looking out for me." She said.
"Heh, he picked that up from me. Though Sweetie Belle is scheduled to come by tomorrow. I hope you didn't forget." Ray said.
"She may be coming tomorrow, but Smolder is coming today." Spike said.
"Wait, she's coming?!" Ray suddenly freaked.
"Yeah, I told you that Smolder wanted to see you again after the last time you saw her, as she kind of wanted to get to know you." Spike said.
"CRAP! I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS!" Ray said.
"Ah Romance. I wonder if either of us will get involved with it at some point." Sunset said.
"I wouldn't put it past you Sunset to get a coltfriend before I do." Twilight said. "Not that I won't be looking myself, but the girls have a betting pool for which one of the seven of us will get their coltfriend first. Well, outside of Rarity that is since, you know..." Twilight said.
"...Really? So, how's the betting pool right now?" Sunset asked.
"Right now, most of the money is actually on you. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and myself are betting it's going to be you. Fluttershy and Applejack say it's going to be Rainbow Dash." Twilight explained.
"Well my money's on Pinkie Pie, personally. Though speaking of her, whose she betting's going to be part of the next romance?" Sunset asked.
"Me, actually." Twilight said.
"...What? Does she KNOW you?" Sunset asked. "I think it'd be more likely for PINKIE PIE to get a coltfriend before you ever do. Err, no offense." She said.
"None taken." Twilight said.
Meanwhile, the party mare was in some kind of party cave, seemingly with some black furred hamster. "So, wait, Twilgiht really is going to be the next to find her super special somepony?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I've already said too much to you for you to ask that question. Good day." The hamster said before he started walking away.
"Hey wait, I never got your--" Pinkie Pie said, but as she tried to follow the hamster, she had lost him around one of her party cave's corners. "...What the heck?! Okay, I know Serendipity and I can bend reality and stuff like that, but this...this boggles even my mind. And there's not much that can do that." Pinkie Pie said, rubbing her head in frustration. "...I need a cupcake."
Back with the Sun Students, suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Coming." Twilight said, and upon opening the door, she was greeting to a draconic looking being holding a unicorn.
"I believe this one is a pony that lives here in this town. I saw her waiting outside the library." The draconic being said.
"Never seen her before, but I guess this would be a good time to get her name." Sunset said.
"I was actually looking for you specifically." The unicorn said, pointing a hoof at Sunset.
"Me? Okay. We'll chat upstairs." Sunset said.
"Hey, what's with the visitor?" Smolder asked, showing up.
"Dragon? There's a dragon in ponyville?" The draconic being asked.
"What'cha got against dragons?" Ray asked, suddenly defensive.
"Yeah, Ray and I are dragons too." Spike said.
"Wait your dragons? But you look like Kobolds to me. This one though...she's a dragon. She even SMELLS like one too." The draconic being said.
"Kobolds? There hasn't been a kobold since the early days of the dragon lands before they were even called the dragon lands." Smolder said. "How do you know about Kobolds?" She asked.
"Because I AM a Kobold. Name's Karina. And if you don't mess with me, I don't mess with you." The draconic being said.
"Huh. Well, there's a reason these two look like kobolds so much. It's because it's left over from our old herratiages." Smolder said.
"Huh?" Karina asked.
"Yeah. Back before the Dragon Lands were the Dragon Lands, Dragons used to live together in peace with Kobolds like you." Smolder said. "And while it wasn't uncommon for dragons and kobolds to mate with each other, the offspring would start off looking much like a kobold before they became much more like a dragon before they eventually multed and sprouted wings." She explained.
"But if dragons and kobolds in this world were that close with each other, then how did the Kobolds vanish?" Karina asked.
"They died protecting their children. Every last one of them. There was only one that didn't die when forces from the west invaded our lands, and she was the last Kobold. It's said that to this day, her life essense is stored in the gem on the Dragon Lord's Sceptor, so she can always watch over us." Smolder said. "It was her choice."
And that's when Karina fainted. "...Wonder why she fainted from that?" Ray asked.
"Who cares? I'm just glad to know your supportive." Smolder said. "That was some fire to stand up for your own kind like that." She said.
"Err...it was nothing, really." Ray said.
Oh I think it was something to Smolder. Spike thought to himself, grinning.
Upstairs in the Library...
"So, exactly who are you? Why did you come looking for me?" Sunset asked.
"I've been observing you for a while. And I overheard that your Sunburst's brother." The unicorn said.
"What's Sunburst got to do with you?" Sunset asked.
"Did he ever mention any one named 'Glim Glam'?" The unicorn asked.
Sunset's eyes went wide. "You...your Glim Glam?!" Sunset exclaimed.
"Yeah. That's what he called me. My full name is Starlight Glimmer." The unicorn said.
