About ten minutes later, silver shine decided that a similar face couldn't hurt her secret, so she took the hood off and sat on a bench. "I'm so glad I was able to keep my promise. And then tonight, it'll all be complete! It's so exciting!" A certain pink pony hears that, and quickly walked over and sat down next to her. "Hi there." She said. "Um...Hi..."
"So I heard you saying something fun was happening tonight. Is it the end of a game event?"
"Um...A game...Y-Yeah, that's what it is that I was talking about. My, uh, victory should be c-complete tonight."
"You seem familiar...Hey, are you that mean Silver Shine pony?"
"S-Silver wh-who?" Silver Shine knew she couldn't keep her cover long.
Pinkie stood up. "I dunno...You look like her...Nah, she acts way different. Anyway, my name's-"
"Pinkie Pie, right? I heard about your parties back in...Home." Silver smiled, remembering hearing ponies talking about Ponyville's party expert back where she used to live, alone. Pinkie smiled back. "You know what my favorite thing in the world is?"
"Parties?"
"Nope!"
Silver tilted her head. "Then what?" Pinkie laughed for a moment before replying, "Seeing my friends happy and smiling." Silver Shine looked at her. "I see...So, what about ponies you don't like?" Pinkie grabbed Silver's hoof and walked her trough Ponyville, explaining how she loves making friends with everypony.
Meanwhile, with no place of his own, Glacier was at Rarity's place. "Rarity, you said you design clothing for ponies, right? Requests and an occasional idea-based line?" Rarity nodded. Glacier continued, "I was wondering if I could borrow some materials. I have my own line and I want to base it off of Ponyville. It IS the home of friendship in Equestria, right?"
"Wha? S-Sure you could. I...Wouldn't see why amazing designers such as you and I can't share equipment."
Glacier froze for a moment. "You sound like you...Nevermind." He went upstairs and began to work on something. As he mixed and matched and tested materials, he created an incredible design. Crystals, snow, a sun, a moon, a raindrop, ice, the Elements of Harmony, and even some leaves. "The final piece to my line. The one that gives the unity everypony shares in Equestria, whether they see it or not, just as the sun, moon, seasons, and Elements. Alone, they can't do much. Together, Rarity and I-er, they make a perfect set."
--The earlier night, Zecora's Hut, 11:00PM--
In the other ponies' sleep, Glacier and Rarity couldn't sleep. "Glacier, you said you design clothes like dresses and suits for the Crystal Ponies?" She whispered.
"Yeah. My new line should be out soon. It represents stability and unity. Like day and night, the seasons, and the Elements of Harmony."
"Glacier...You know that ice and crystals are also two things that go magnificent together right?"
"Yeah, I guess...Though it would be cold to wear." Glacier chuckled for a moment. 'Does she know I... No, she couldn't know that.' He thought to himself.
Rarity was in deep thought, not even realizing Glacier had fallen asleep. 'Does Glacier know that I had feeling for him when I saw him...I hope he feels that way about me, because if I tell him, and he doesn't, that would be odd for a few minutes.' Rarity herself soon fell asleep.
--Present--
Rarity threw out the paper she ha and started from scratch. "It has to be perfect!" She began drawing on the paper, and the designs she created were amazing. Shining gems and flames, but it didn't feel right. This was something she thought might look good, though, so she decided to keep this design.
A few hours passed and Silver Shine had made her way back to the old castle. She landed near the entrance and walked in, running to hug Nightmare Moon.
Nightmare Moon returned the hug before stepping back. She looked up and the moon. "Only a few hours, Silver Shine. And your dream and mine will come true..."
"Really? And now that those three are down there, the Elements of Harmony can't be used by their friends. But, I don't see why I can't, you know, be myself out there."
"I can't let you. If the ponies of Ponyville found out, they'd probably 'befriend' you, and turn around and get information from you" Nightmare Moon replied. Silver replied quickly, "But I'd never tell ANYPONY anything about me and you...Besides, you're like my mom...can't you act like it?"
"Silver Shine...Mothers aren't there because of deals...Even if we are closer than family...But as your legal guardian, I can say that what I'm doing is what any mother would do. You can't take chances...Please, understand. Anyway, I believe the others should be visited."
"Let me talk to them, please? You need to keep watch of where the moon is for where to stop it."
"Alright. Remember, no matter what they say, just don't call me your mother..." Nightmare Moon said. Silver Shine nodded as she walked downstairs to where they were locked up. "Hi everypony!"
"Silver Shine, why are you working with Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked. Silver Shine didn't answer. "So, I hope you've enjoyed your stay...aside from the cell part. You get the same food Nightmare Moon and I have, so you're just our guests...Sorta..."
Rainbow Dash slammed into her bars. "Why did you take the three of US?"
"You can fly. We didn't realize the fully could fly, and we thought the yellow one was just a unicorn."
Twilight nodded to agree with Silver Shine. "It does seem to make sense..." She pointed her hoof at Silver as she got the closest she could to her. "But I still want to know why you're helping her. Please tell me."
"She gives me a home I'm not alone in. She takes care of me. Besides, I absolutely LOVE the night, except in Everfree. Anyway, you won't be aloud to leave anyway, so you could allow yourselves a way to walk around the castle by helping Nightmare Moon." She leaned in towards Twilight. "Listen...I'm sorry. I can get you and them out but you can't let her know I did it."
"Why not?" Twilight whispered back.
"I don't wanna be here all week. She might punish me by not letting me go out."
"Fine. Tomorrow though, I need sleep. And tell her I said these beds aren't that bad. And no, we aren't joining you."
Silver Shine nodded and turned around.
Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, Golden and Pinkie were talking. Golden yelled, "I know! But we can't know it was her!"
"But it HAD to be! I recognize everypony!"
