Twilight Sparkle Celestia were in the armory. The weapons they had here were so historic. She looked at each weapon very carefully. Eventually, she sat down and sighed.

"Princess," she moaned, "I'm never going to find a good weapon!"

"Yes, you will, Twilight," Celestia said with a reassuring voice.

"Can we just look another day?"

Celestia shook her head and sighed. "Fine."

They trotted out of the armory. Ponies with orange shirts milled about, whispering whenever Twilight passed them.

"Princess," Twilight whispered, "why are they whispering whenever I pass? Did I do something incorrectly?"

Celestia scoffed. "Of course not, Twilight! You see, we usually only get campers during a certain time of year, and that's Summer. It's Autumn," she lied while not lying.

Suddenly, a loud horn resounded through the area. Campers began hollering and hooting. Stallions bucked the air in excitement. Mares started to practically bounce up and down. Satyrs began braying with cheerfulness. Nymphs and naids danced about.

"Um, Princess," Twilight asked. "What's goin-"

The horn interrupted her. Then, the horn faded into a kazoo.

"New weapons and pastries are being delivered by a seasoned camper. She makes the best of the best of both," Celestia replied after the kazoo finished sounding. The campers galloped to the border between the Camp and the Everfree Forest.

That's when a squeaky-ish, female voice said, "Hey everybody! Did you miss me?"

Twilight's eyes widened. Puh... Puh...

Then, Midnight Clover ran out from the mob of ponies and creatures, exclaiming, "Twilight! C'mon! You're gonna miss out on all of Pinkie Pie's pastries!"

At the sound of the pink mare's name, Twilight galloped towards the mob of ponies, nymphs, naids, and satyrs.

She immediately froze when she saw Pinkie Pie, a pink mare with a darker pink, curly mane and blue eyes.

Why is Pinkie a camper here? Does she have a godly ancestor? How long has she known? How come she never told me and our friends? Twilight's thoughts began to get faster and faster, and then she zoned out.

"Twilight," Midnight said, waving his hoof in front of her face. "Twilight?"

"Don't worry I got this," Pinkie Pie said with utmost confidence. "Hey, Twilight! My Pinkie Sense told me another doozy is coming!"

Twilight leaped into the air and screamed, "NOT ANOTHER HYDRA!!!!!" 

When she touched the ground, Twilight was shaking with fear. She sat down and began to slowly caress her tail, whispering, "No hydra, no hydra, no hydra, no hydra..."

Pinkie Pie rubbed her chin with her hoof. "Hmm..." She circled around Twilight twice, poked and prodded at her chest, and pressed her pink ear on Twilight's head. 

"She'll be fine in about five minutes," Pinkie concluded.

Everybody let out a sigh of relief.
