"Oh my Celestia! Oh my Celestia!" cried Silverspoon.

"Nearly there…" said Princess Diamond Tiara. They were going faster and faster.

Silverspoon was really excited. "I'm coming!"

"Yes, I know. I'm making you come!" said Princess Diamond Tiara. 

Princess Diamond Tiara had looked into Appleblume's bedroom but saw that Appleblume was coming with Apple Jack. She had gone to Rarity's shop and Rarity and Sweetiebell were dressing each other up in little outfits. And she knew that Rainbow Dash would love to make Scootaloo come. 

So that is why Princess Diamond Tiara asked Silverspoon to come to the Grand Galloping Gala as her "plus one".

The train pulled into Canterlot station, and Silverspoon and Diamond Tiara got off the train so they weren't on the train. They walked to the castle and the gala was happening and they saw Princess Twilight and her boss, and Twilight was like, "Diamond! Diamond! I'm so happy you could come!" and Princess Diamond Tiara was like, "of course, but why have I never been invited to one of these before?" and Twilight said, "because you weren't a princess before," and Princess Diamond Tiara was like, "but I still had a tiara before," and Princess Twilight didn't know what to say and it got a bit awkward.

"Anyways, you look really pretty," said Twilight.

"I know," said Princess Diamond Tiara. "Apple Jack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie brought their sisters and Fluttershy brought that annoying hippy pony. But who's your plus one tonight?"

"Oh, I didn't bring one," said Twilight, "because the only pony I wanted to spend this evening with already had her own ticket." She nuzzled up to Princess Diamond Tiara.

"Back off!" said Silverspoon and pushed Twilight away.

Princess Diamond Tiara's heart fluttered. "Oh, Silverspoon, you're so protective." Silverspoon gave her a hug. Princess Diamond Tiara said, "I am so going to rek you tonight."

Anyway, Silverspoon and Princess Diamond Tiara danced a lot and they enjoyed the stand-up comedy, and the drinks and the food, and they ate so much of that lime jelly that was just lying around everywhere. They went to the dance floor and were dancing and stuff and then Celestia cut in and said, "mind if I cut in?" and Silverspoon was like, "yes, we mind," and Celestia was like, "well, why don't the three of us all dance together? Threesomes are always fun," and then Twilight was there and was like, "I hope four isn't a crowd," and she smiled sheepishly.

And Princess Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon and Celestia all said, "yes. Four is a crowd." So Twilight looked sad and went off.

And at the end of the dance, Celestia held out her cheeks for them to kiss. And they did, but Princess Diamond Tiara didn't enjoy it because Celestia's like thousands of years old. But Silverspoon liked it because Silverspoon is into that sort of stuff.

And then they all went home because it was the end of the gala.
