After dinner the two ponies headed out for Rarity’s boutique. When they came in she was working on a new dress. Bramblestar studied the pattern on the dress. It seemed to have a swirl of many colors, though the swirls faded into each other to make it shiny and extravagant. Rarity looked up at him and smiled.
“Oh doesn’t it look simply amazing! I can do only the best for Princess Celestia.”
Twilight gasped. “Princess….Celestia….coming here!”
“Yes! I’m so excited!”
Bramblestar didn’t understand why Twilight was so scared of this pony. She described her like she was a god of sort.
“Why would you be scared of her Twilight? I thought you liked her.”
“I do it’s just had no warning.” She said. “Rarity, when is she coming?”
A large white pony with a flowing mane came through the door. She had a sun on her flank and her mane kept moving even though she was just standing there. Bramblestar noticed she had three colors in her main; pink, green, and purple. Twilight and Rarity bowed so he followed their lead.
“Greetings. It’s nice to see you again. And this must be Bramblestar.”
He stood up straight and nodded. He gave the respectful nod that is exchanged between leaders.
“It is nice to meet you Princess Celestia.” He said.
Twilight gave a sigh of relief when Celestia smiled. She walked up to his side and bowed to her.
“How come you never told me about your visit?”
“I wasn’t planning to stay long. I just wanted to get my dress and go.”
Bramblestar looked at the dress. It was absolutely stunning. Rarity put a covering over it and brought it to the princess. Celestia thanked her and went on her way. Once she was gone another knock came on the door. Suddenly a hideous creature zapped into the room. He smiled a crooked smile when he saw the ponies.
“Oh, hello everyone. Twilight don’t you look great and Rarity aren’t you just stunning. And is this Bramblestar, the one who was a cat?” Said the creature.
“Discord, what are you doing here?” Asked Twilight.
Discord looked taken aback. “Is there a reason I can’t visit my favorite friends in all of Equestria? Plus I had to meet this new pony. Princess Celestia seemed very interested in him when she read your letter.”
Bramblestar tipped his head. Maybe this “Discord” was Celestia’s boyfriend. Or maybe he a spy for some evil god forsaken beast. However he knew this information clearly he was not supposed to know it.
“Discord go away. We do not want you here!” Said Rarity.
He frowned and then snapped his fingers. A flash of light came and then he disappeared. Bramblestar let a sigh. He’s had way too much excitement for one day and it was really late. He looked outside to see that the sun has set and the moon was high.
“Twilight we must get back. It’s nearly moonhigh and I’m really beat.”
She yawned and nodded in agreement. A light came from her horn and they appeared in the library. He went to his bed and closed his eyes. Exhausted he faded into a troubled sleep. He had dreams about Squirrelflight and Onestar killing him. Another dream came where she addressed the clan with her new name, Squirrelstar. He let out a hiss of anger when she said that she was glad he died. A new thought his mind.
“I will get my revenge.” He thought.
His dreams stopped and an untroubled sleep fell upon him.
