Ponyville's Newest Show-Off

"OMIGOSH!" Pinkie yelled when the seven ponies got to Ponyville. "I'M GOING TO THROW YOU A BIG WELCOME TO PONYVILLE PARTY! DON'T GO TO SUGARCUBE CORNER!!!" And with that, Pinkie Pie ran off.
"Just being Pinkie," Rainbow told a confused-looking Aurora.
"Why don't we show you around Ponyville?" asked Twilight.
"That'd be great!" replied Aurora.
"Why don't we start with Sweet Apple Acres?" asked Applejack.
All the ponies agreed, and they walked through Ponyville, pointing out random buildings.
"This is my cottage," Fluttershy whispered. "I have a lot of animals.
"This is my house," said Twilight when they passed it. "It also has a library. Stop by any time."
"That's my boutique, Carousel Boutique," Rarity pointed out her boutique.
"Here's my cloud palace," Rainbow pointed to her palace, which was in the sky. "Awesome, huh?"
"Wow!" Aurora exclaimed. "Just wow!"
"Here's my farm, Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack pointed it out. "Feel free to have some apples. No charge."
"Hey, can I try apple bucking, or whatever it is you call it?" asked Aurora.
"Uh...sure," replied Applejack.
Aurora went over, and tapped the tree with her hoof. As if on command, all the apples fell into the buckets below. Applejack was stunned.
"Wow, Princess! That's amazing!" she exclaimed.
"I know," Aurora replied. "I'm awesome."
"Princess? Can you help me with this spell?" asked Twilight. "The Firework Star Spell. I can get the fireworks, just not the star part."
"Hmm..let me try." Aurora replied. She skimmed the book and her horn lit up. Beautiful multi-color fireworks shot out of it, and they arranged themselves into all the different types of shapes.
"Princess, would you like a dress for tonight's party?" asked Rarity. "I can make one for you."
"Um, sure. Thank you. It's Rarity, right?" Aurora asked. Rarity nodded.
So they all headed to Carousel Boutique. Aurora liked her dresses, and since Rarity was going to sew one for her, she would sew one for Rarity.
"Oh, you don't have to," Rarity replied. "It's okay."
"I want to," replied Aurora.
And with that, Aurora had sewn Rarity a beautiful pale purple dress in only ten minutes. Rarity was shocked, and couldn't stop giving her thanks.
"It's the most perfect dress I have ever laid eyes on!" Rarity squealed with delight. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. And the one you sewed me is beautiful too. It's perfect," Aurora replied.
"We can just wear our Gala dresses to the party," Twilight spoke up. "How about you and Aurora have a race, Rainbow Dash?"
"AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed, and they went outside. "To...that cloud and back?"
"You're on!" Aurora challenged.
"Three! Two! One! GO!!!" Twilight yelled, waving a checkered flag. The two ponies were neck in neck. But then, on the way back, Rainbow Dash performed her sonic rainboom, and beat Aurora by a hair.
"Wow! You're the first pony who could ever keep up with me!" Rainbow exclaimed. "That's so awesome!"
"You're the only pony who's ever beat me," replied Aurora. She was smiling.
"HEY! GUYS!" Pinkie Pie came running up. "THE PARTY'S ALL READY!"
Then, the seven friends ran all the way to Sugarcube Corner. They were all smiling as they walked in through the door.
And the party began.
