They got off of the train and where greeted with three Royal Guards, who gave them some information. As it turns out the ones who were spying on Luna and Song had reported that they were both heading this way. According to the reports, they both would arrive in about a day, one from the east and one from the north.
"So, what's the plan then?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, we don't want them to run off. So we need to be as stealthy about this as possible, and hope that they meet each other so they would be distracted." Twilight answered.
"Then what do you want us to do?" Rainbow asked. "And what if they don't run into each other?"
"Well, we go and talk to them ourselves. If that fails, then Celestia taught me a new spell that would paralyze them for a full day. If they don't meet up to where they're distracted by talking to each other, then we either need to make them meet up or I use the spell on them separately." Twilight said, giving an already exhausted sigh at the thought of that.
"Don't worry my little star princess, I know you can do this." Onyx said, nuzzling her.
"Yeah, don't worry sugarcube I'm sure we can handle this. I just hope nothing goes wrong." Applejack said.
"Hey, don't jinx it, and why would you think something would go wrong?" Quick Shot asked.
"Well, it seems that any time it deals with these two something goes down one way or another. I mean a little more stuff happened to them then it does for us, and we're the bearers of the Elements." Applejack replied.
"That seems to be true, I mean Song for the past two hundred years has been tortured by the very thing he's hunting for right now. Luna was banished to the moon for a thousand years on the moon, and shortly after they got together Song was almost completely drained of his magic almost killing him." Twilight said.
"Don't forget that they had to battle that thing and he actually did die, and revived with the Night Gems that he gave Luna but with no memory. Then when he did get his memory back, it was because he found out that he had some of the very creature that killed him still inside, and now this." Onyx said.
"I see y'all's point, so what are we gonna do, set up some kind of perimeter?" Applejack asked.
"I think that would be best, I'll tell the Guards where I want them. But I want us to split up, four in the north and the other four in the east." Twilight said.
"Any idea which one is coming from which direction?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, I believe the guards said Song was the one coming from the north. Which would make sens if he was heading towards the Changeling nation." Twilight said.
"Makes sense, so I think it should be me, Quick, Applejack, and Pinkie covering the east then." Rainbow suggested.
"Is that alright with you girls, and you Quick?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, it's fine by me." Quick answered, and the others just nodded.
"So, I guess that leave me, Onyx, Rarity, and Fluttershy in the north. Well, we still got a day left, let's look around and get to know the area a little better alright?" Twilight suggested, and they all gave their agreement.
As they walked around, they couldn't believe how big the city was. They all knew that Diamond Dogs loved gems, but most thought that they ate the gems. But from how the city looks, they could tell that wasn't true to a certain extent.
Though they also knew that the city was a lot bigger then it let on, half of it being underground. It was still impressive, there was plenty of skyscrapers around, and lot's of vendors and stores. And before to long they all separated as they each found shops, or other little things that drew them in.
Twilight dragged Onyx to the library that she apparently spotted from five city blocks away, Rarity spotted a clothing store that also sold fabrics and such. Fluttershy saw a pet shop and wanted to go say hi to the animals there, Rainbow and Quick ran off some where and they all knew what they were going to do. The last pair, Pinkie and Applejack, stayed together walking and taking in the sights, though most of the talking was done by Pinkie.
"Oh my gosh, look a party store!" Pinkie exclaimed and forcibly dragged Applejack inside.
Once they all got done exploring, they ended up meeting by a statue of of the founding Diamond Dog. After making sure they all were accounted for, Twilight took them to the hotel that they would be staying at. Upon arriving she talked to the leader of the guards that were sent to help them.
"So, you know where to post your men then?" Twilight asked.
"Yes ma'am, and I also know you don't want us to engage unless necessary." The guard replied.
"Good, and thank you." Twilight said, turning back towards her friends. "So, we're staying here for tonight. Make sure you all get some sleep, because we have to be up early in the morning."
"So, Twilight are you doing okay?" Onyx ask after they left the group.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She replied.
"Because I know how you get in these kind of situations sometimes." He answered.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll be perfectly fine." She said.
"Yeah, I know because you're a natural leader. But I do think it would help you if you relaxed." He said, making his concern known in his tone.
"Well, there is always one thing that helps me to relax. In matter of fact, it helps just about anypony relax." She said giving him a sly, suggestive wink.
"Are you sure you want to tonight? I mean don't we have to get some sleep?" He asked, a slight blush evident.
"Oh, I was talking about we give each other massages. But if that's what you want to do, then I'm not going to say no." She said.
"Right, but seriously though. What about tomorrow?" He asked.
"Look, they won't be here until afternoon. I only said to wake up early in the morning so we can get ready, and I'm sure we'll get plenty of sleep." She replied.
"Yeah, guess you're right. Now which room are we in?" He asked, making her give a little chuckle and smirk.
"We've been standing in front of it for the past five minutes." She said waving a hoof towards the door.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" He asked returning the smirk she gave him, as a slight blush formed on her now, and soon enough they entered the room.
