Trixie built up Light in her horn but it soon faded.
"Keep trying." said Celestia. "You'll get it." She walked over to Twilight "Twilight Sparkle. May I speak with you?"
"Of course." said Twilight. "What is it?"
"I need you to take some of your friends over to Trottingham and see if anypony will help us."
"You got it, Princess." said Twilight, trotting off.
A couple minutes later, Twilight, Spike, Lyra, and Bon-Bon appeared in Trottingham.
"Magic makes traveling easier." said Twilight.
"Where should we start?" asked Spike.
"Let's try in that building right there." said Lyra, pointing to a large building nearby.
They entered the building and looked around. They saw a bunch of unicorns painting on easels set up all around the room. They walked around, looking at all of the finished pictures hanging on the walls.
"These are good." said Twilight." "Really good."
"You like them?" asked a voice.
Twilight and the others turned and saw a red pony with a yellow mane.
"Yeah, they're great." said Twilight. "Who are you?"
"I'm Strawberry." said the Unicorn. "My friend's one of the painters. Want to meet her?"
"Sure." said Twilight.
"This way."
Twilight and the others followed Strawberry through the aisle in between a line of painters. They then stopped next to one.
"Hey, Strawberry." said the painter, noticing them approaching. "Who are your friends?"
"I'm Twilight. This is Spike, Lyra, and Bon-Bon."
"Hi. I'm May." said the unicorn.
"So you painted some of the pictures on the walls?" asked Lyra.
"You bet." said May. "I had some help from Dawn with a few of them."
"Dawn?" asked Bon-Bon. "Who's that?"
"That's me." said the unicorn on the other side of May. Dawn was blue with a pink mane. "I don't believe I've ever seen you four in town before."
"We're been sent by the Princess." said Twilight.
"Really?" asked May. "What for?"
"Have you heard what happened in Canterlot?" asked Bon-Bon.
"No. what?" asked Dawn.
The Shadow Bolts landed in the courtyard of what used to be Canterlot Castle. They then evaporated into a cloud, merged into one cloud, and then formed Luna.
"Unbelievable." said Luna.
"I'm guessing something went wrong." said Discord, appearing next to her.
"Those Wonderbolts appeared." said Luna. "I defeated them, but before I could finish them my sister blinded me with Light."
"I hate Light." said Discord. "It's too cheerful."
Luna looked over at the Canterlot Sculpture Garden.
"Discord. If those ponies manage to make it here, there's something I want you to do."
"That's terrible." said Dawn.
"Well, if the Princess is looking for help, I'll be more than happy to." said May.
"Count me in, too." said Dawn.
"Great." said Twilight. "I'll tell the Princess.
"Hold on a second." said Dawn. She did a couple more brush strokes and then set the brush down. "Done."
"Done." May also said, setting down her brush.
"Now, let's go." said Dawn.
"Where you girls going?" asked Strawberry.
"We're gonn help the Princess save Equestria." said May. "Whoo-hoo!"
"Can I come?" asked Strawberry.
"Don't see why not." said Twilight. "Ready?"
"Oh, yeah." said Dawn.
Twilight smiled. "Fantastic."
