Rainbow Dash lazily looked out the window, feeling depressed as she watched the other passengers step onto the platform. The lights of Las Pegasus glared in Rainbow's eyes. Rainbow Dash yawned and stretched her legs out, poking Applejack in the stomach accidentally.
"Rainbow, would you kindly-Ow!-Stop?" Applejack said, attempting to sound calm. Rainbow perked up, and quickly pulled back.
"Heh heh, Sorry." Rainbow apologized, blushing slightly.
Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna sat together in their separate room, having not spoken for a while. Twilight looked out the window to see the sparkling city before them. Celestia's sun setting on the horizon. Twilight realized that Luna would not be able to raise the moon in Canterlot. Which worried her.
"Princess Luna, Don't you have to raise the moon soon?" Twilight asked Luna, with a hint of worry about the changed schedule.
"My sister has volunteered to raise it for me while I assist you." Luna replied. getting up from her seat. Luna paused and looked at Twilight. "My sister feels awful for the way she shouted at you, Twilight. She wanted to apologize before you left, but she couldn't."
Twilight suddenly felt awful, Her mentor had never snapped at her like that before. And it was her fault that she did. Twilight had sold the most powerful artifacts in existence in a drunken night out. She felt another tear rolling down her cheek. She heard the train conductor knock on the door.
"Princesses, You're clear to leave, I hope you have a excellent time in Las Pegasus." The conductor bowed, and walked to the next train car to clear the other passengers. Twilight pushed herself up and stepped beside Luna in the narrow hallway. Twilight's wings were jammed up against the walls of the hallway. She slowly moved down the hallway, Luna just ahead of her. Luna was having even more trouble with the narrow hallway, and was swearing under her breath. Finally, Luna made it to the door, and stepped outside. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack were outside waiting. Twilight made it to the door, and quickly trotted outside. Her wings ached from the long ride, she painfully and awkwardly stretched out her wings. Rainbow Dash, despite her sadness. Managed to crack a small smile. Twilight tries to hide it. But she still hasn't gotten used to her wings. Twilight gives one final stretch of her wings, and then folds them against her sides. She steps forward and begins to address the group.
"Alright girls. If we're going to find the pony that bought our elements, we might need to split up." Twilight spoke in the voice Pinkie Pie calls the "Super Special Mission Voice." Rarity is the first one to object.
"Split up? Twilight, I feel incredibly bad for the mistakes I made as much as everyone else, but this city is massive! How are we supposed to find it?" Rarity said, trying to not sound harsh or critical.
"I knew somepony would ask that, So I came up with a plan, and more importantly..." Twilight levitates a large scroll out of her satchel bag. "...A list!"
Twilight's friends simply stared at her, waiting for further explanation. Twilight stood with her awkward smile. Princess Luna stepped forward to continue the conversation.
"There are a couple casinos that you all have definitely been to, five to be exact. So you six can spread out and check out the casinos." Luna grabbed the list with her magic and unrolled it, showing the group the listings. Applejack smiled.
"Well then, let's not waste any time. You girls ready to hoof it?" Applejack yelled, already excited. Twilight smiled as the other cheered, ready to split up. Luna gave Twilight the list back so she could assign everyone their places.
"...Alright, Applejack, you can check out the..." Twilight continued to assign everyone their places, as Fluttershy cowered at the back of the group listening. Wanting to speak up but too afraid to. She didn't want to disappoint her friends, they needed to find the Elements of Harmony, but Fluttershy was always scared of being alone in an unfamiliar place.
"And Fluttershy, you can..." Twilight saw the fear on her face, and paused. "...Fluttershy, you can go with Rainbow Dash, is that alright?" Fluttershy smiled and nodded.
"One more thing." Luna spook up, the bustling group turned their heads to listen. "If something happens, I'll be able to come help you, all you have to do is allow me into your minds." Twilight and her friends stared at her for a while, until Pinkie spoke up.
"Could you repeat that?" Pinkie said, just as confused as her friends.
"I must agree with Pinkie, what do you mean?" Rarity joined in. Luna looked at Pinkie and Rarity.
"You...Don't know what I mean?" Luna said, almost disappointed. "In addition to entering the dreams of other ponies..." Luna explained. "...I can also enter your conscious thoughts, however my sister usually forbids the power. But we may need me to use it if things go wrong. To let me in, just think of me. And I can request access inside, it's very complicated to explain, but you will know what I am talking about. But I must warn you that when you let me in, I can hear everything you are thinking." With a slight grin, Luna added. "So, try avoid thoughts that would make yourself look bad." The group nodded, and Twilight rolled up the list and put it back inside her bag.
"Alright girls. Lets do this!"
