It had been weeks since Twilight had talked to Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy.She had introduced them to other ponies they had stuff in common with,and she was spending every minute of her free time looking for information about Nightmare Moon,but information about it was almost nonexistent.
"Spike,what are you doing?"
"If you're gonna go fight some evil mare of darkness,I'm coming too!"
"No,you are not. I'm not even sure if I'm going to go.Besides,that doesn't really explain what you are doing."
"I'm making my costume.Behold,the amazing Humongous Dragon of Awesome.The most powerful super hero of them all!"
Suddenly,the two where interrupted by a visitor,as a familiar pink pony jumped out of her mirror.
"Hiya you two!Do you want to go to the farmers market to meet my cousin?! Huh,Doyadoya!"
Twilight was too dazed by the fact that a pony had just come out of her mirror, couldn't do anything except make noncommittal grunting noises,which was seen as a yes by Pinkie.
"Great! This is going to be SSSSSOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun!"
Turning to Spike,who was still standing with his mouth hanging open,Twilight pulled over a sticky note and a pencil.
"Note to self,"She muttered as she wrote,"investigate Pinkie Pie."
After putting it in her planner,she levitated Spike onto her back and galloped out the door,following the energetic pony.
Farm Fresh Farmers Market
"Here we are!!" Her stand is over here....or is it that way?"
Suddenly,the crowd cleared,revealing two mares.
"Rainbow Dash." one spat.
"S-should we h-help?"Asked Fluttershy.
Twilight looked up to see her carrying some swamp animals in a basket.
"Nah,They have a weeeiiiiird competition thing.They're friends."
"Applejack."
The two mares glared at each other and then started laughing and talking.
"Hey Applejack!OVER HERE."
The orange one with the apple cutiemark waved them over,and Twilight made a mental note about Pinkie's strange abilities.She had gotten over there faster than she could teleport.
"Hey Ya'll, ah'm Applejack,but Dash here calls me AJ."
"And I'm Rainbow Dash,the fastest pegasus in the world!"
"And ya'll are?"
"These are my new friends,Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy!"
"Hey ya'll want ta come to the farm?"
After getting a yes from Fluttershy and Pinkie,Applejack turned to Twilight.
"I'd love to,but I have a big test coming up.."
"Aww,can't you come?Please?"
The ponies looked to see where the other voice had come from.A new pony had arrived,she had pink hair,a tan coat,and a bow in her hair.
"Apple Bloom,does Granny know yer here?'
"Ah just wanted to try and earn my cutie mar.."
"Apple Bloom."
"No."
"Ah'm sendin' ya back to tha farm with the others...do ya mind Dash?"
"No.Come on everypony."
"I don't see why we have to leave now."
"Trust me grape,you're going to have too."
"My name's not grape."
"Well,you're purple,aren't you?"
Rainbow said with a smirk.
"Yes,but..'
She was already gone.

Twilight was this close to dragging herself to her room.She was stuffed.Rainbow Dash flying around hadn't helped her mane either. Hopefully nopony would notice.
"Darling,your hair!"
Of course.Twilight felt herself being dragged to the other ponies room.
"We simply must do something about it!"
"It's okay.I'm fine."
"No.I simply will not stand for it."
The mare's room was full of needles thread,and cloth.
"I'm Rarity.And you are?"
"I'm Twilight Sparkle.This is Spike."
"Why,he's adorable!"
From the expression on Spike's face,she could tell he wasn't going to be much help.

Twilight opened the door,and looked at Spike.
"I hope I never have another day like today."
Then she fell on her bed face first.
