"What's everypony doing today?" Twilight asked her friends, they had finally got everything in order. This was their first day relaxing since beating Tirek.
"I'm babysitting Pound and Pumpkin for the Cakes. They have a big delivery." Pinkie Pie smiled, two balloons were tied around her forelegs.
"I'm spending the day with Scootaloo." Rainbow grinned "I still need to do the whole 'taking her under my wing' thing. I'm gonna see if I can get her, at least, a foot off the ground."
"I'm helping Mrs duck cross Ponyville with her new ducklings. I have planned a tea party with all my animal friends later." Fluttershy smiled, her hushed voice contained hints of excitement for today's plans.
"I promised SweetieBelle to help her with some costume designs for that new play she has written for her and her friends." Rarity said "I am surprised she hasnot got her cutie mark as a playwrite, her plays are simply divine."
"Same with Scootaloo and her scooter skills." Rainbow agreed "She is awesome!"
"Well, it's applebuck season, I gotta help out at home. Applebloom is helping out this year." AppleJack told them "Applebloom's cutie mark has to be something to do with apples. It runs in the family." She added proudly, She looked at Twilight. "What about you Sugar cube?"
"Well, Celestia and Luna don't need my help with anything and Spike has taken a day off. I decided to read though the books in the library." Twilight said "Anyway, I have to check if Sunset Shimmer has written back."
"You two are becoming really close friends, despite being so far apart." Fluttershy smiled, Twilight nodded.
"Yeah, my Canterlot high friends, and pretty much everyone at Canterlot high is nice to her. Now she has lots of friends, to help her understand the magic of friendship." Twilight smiled remembering the first time Sunset Shimmer had written to her after she left that world. "I'll have to ask when the next big event at CHS is, maybe I talk to everyone, you could come too."
"That would be awesome!" Rainbow grinned "anyway, must dash!" Rainbow zoomed off, leaving a rainbow streak in the air.
"we all must be off off, see ya Twilight." AJ, Rarity left, Pinke pie bounced after them.
"You are welcome to join the tea party Twilight." Fluttershy offered, she suddenly hid behind her mane. "If you want to, that is."
"No, it's ok." Twilight smiled, Fluttershy gave a short nod, then went to help Mrs Duke. Twilight went into the library, sure enough, the book was glowing and vibrating. Twilight opened the book and began to read.
'Dear Princess Twilight,
Flash is asking to see you again. The fall formal is coming up. Everyone is hoping you'll come again this year. Will you be able to make it? I know it must be really busy being a princess. I am going to be the foal formal princess again, if you do come, we can compete again.It will be fun!
Your friend
Sunset Shimmer'
Twilight smiled at the letter, the Fall formal? Had it already been a year already? Twilight's horn glowing with a purple aura as she picked up a quill and began to write her reply.
'Dear Sunset Shimmer,
The fall formal? It is hard to believe I have been a Princess and your friend for one whole year, it seems a lot longer. I will be coming for sure. But my friends here want to come. I know Princess Celestia told me it would effect the balance of that world, but do you think you could talk to Principle Celestia about it. If they came , I know Rarity will go for the fall formal Princess.
I cannot wait to hear from you.
Your forever Friend
Twilight Sparkle'
Twilight closed the book and put the quill down, before trotting over to the nearest bookshelf, she read the titles, most of them she had read when she was Celestia's student living in Canterlot. But she came to a book she had never seen before, it didn't have a title. She picked it up, realising it looked like a dairy of some sort. It was dark blue with a moon, Twilight guessed it was Luna's, but why would Luna give Twilight this? Intrigued, Twilight opened the book, to find a note from Princess Luna herself, it was only recently written.
'Twilight
This may look like a dairy, but it holds story of mine and Celestia's biggest mistake. Celestia knows nothing of this book, I give it to you in hope you can right our wrong.
Princess Luna'
Twilight read the note several times for it to sink in. She went over to a table, flipping the page and began to read.
The day draw to a closed and the 5 were returning to the castle after a busy day. They found Twilight pacing, holding the book with her magic.
"Twilight, is something wrong?" Pinkie asked.
"There's somepony I have to fine! Will you guys come with me?" Twilight asked
"Sorry sugar, we all have jobs here, we are busy, especially this time of year." AJ said
"Right...I wonder..." Twilight raced off to the library
"Do you think she's ok?" Rarity asked
"Yes, you know Twi, probably a request from Celestia or Luna." Rainbow said, they all agreed with Rainbow and they went up to their rooms. Whilst in the library, Twilight wrote an urgent note to Sunset Shimmer. Before packing her saddle bags, she put the book in first, She had to get ready for a very long journey.
The next morning, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow and AJ entered the throne room to find a note attached to Twilight's throne. Pinkie got to it first.
"What does it say Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked
"Gone on a mission with Sunset Shimmer, we don't know when we will be back. Twilight" Pinkie read. The elements looked at each other in shock. They all looked down, as a book sat in Twilight's place. The dark cover screamed Luna, but what mission had Twilight been sent on?"
