"So... it's us... now?" Rarity said to her friends as Twilight left the room.
"They have better stuff to do like.. saving the world... and we...? What is good for us?"
Fluttershy looked uncomfortable.
"I'm sure Twilight wanted the best... if you felt that way why didn't you tell her... I mean... we... what if she doesn't want us to be her friends anymore... because we can't help her on good missions...or..or..."
Applejack looked between her friends forwards and back.
"How 'bout we do something fun as well like-"
She was cut of by a scream.
"A PARTAY! It can be sophisticated like Rarity and all the animals in this house can be invited and... and it can be about apples!"
Pinkie was practically hovering in midair as she flapped her arms back and forth like a mad chicken lady.
Fluttershy beamed at the idea.
"What a great idea... I'm sure Owlicious will enjoy it very much."
Rarity just shrugged and looked at Applejack.
"I don't see why not." She said, receiving a smirk from the farmer girl.
Pinkie pie grabbed a balloon from her skirt and started blowing it up, followed by heart shaped, diamonds, butterflies and even apple shaped. Rarity was busy organising the flowers Fluttershy had picked from the yard in small antique vases that she so happened to have packed, Applejack was baking an apple pie for dessert and helping Pinkie frost her ten layered cake with a bunny holding a teacup and and apple with small pink, butter yellow, orange and white balloons in the back.
"The place looks absolutely splendid! Pinkie dear you really outdid yourself!"
Applejack nodded with approval while reading Granny Smith's recipe book on a different type of apple pie.
Cooking apples (8 cups, pared, cored, quartered, sliced thin)
Light brown sugar (1/3 cup firmly packed)
Granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
Ground nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon)
Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Butter or margarine (2 tablespoons)
A little milk (for top crust)
A little more sugar (for top crust)
Cinnamon (optional)
(All this is from wikihow)
Fluttershy peered over her shoulder,
"Wow... that is sure a lot of ingredients..."
Applejack grinned.
"Granny Smith only makes the best!" As she and Fluttershy bursted into fits of laughter.
Pinkie sensing smiles looked over at them.
"What?! WHAT DID I MISS!?"
Fluttershy just shrugged.
"I don't even know why I laughed."
Applejack continued laughing.
"No one would know but you're funny as well Shy..."
Fluttershy beamed with delight and placed her arm on Pinkie's shoulder.
"I learn from the best."
Rarity was busy using her unicorn horn to make all the balloons and streamers duplicate. It was way easier than making Pinkie blow them all up, although she did suggest it.
"What did I miss?" She called over her shoulder without even turning around.
Pinkie just grinned at her.
"Oh absolutely everything."
Rarity just shrugged and continued with her ballooned duplicating.
"Oh well..."
When Fluttershy laughter finally died down she lifted up a piece of paper with lists.
"This is what we'll do... we can't let Twilight know though or..."
"We get it" The others chorused as Pinkie Pie set up a piñata shaped as a pony.
(In the pony world they'll have humans!! xD no... that's just weird.)
Twilight stroked the book with deep affection.
"I'm almost 100 percent certain that the answer or a really good clue is hidden in this book. Dash has already found some information but we need to expand on the topic with our knowledge before we can say that King Sombra is behind all of this."
She carefully opened the book to page 101.
"King Sombra." She read.
The book listed a few of the magic spells the shadowy unicorn king was capable off.
One off them read
∆ Able to haunt peoples minds, dreams and thoughts. For more information turn to page 314.
Twilight turned the page with both Soarin and Dash eagerly reading along.
∆ King Sombra was able to haunt dreams before the rise of Princess Luna and the dream realm. Although he still processes the ability to haunt minds with voices that are most likely to be true.
Twilight felt cold sweat fall in the form of beads down her forehead.
"Was this the truth... the future?" She thought as she turned like a robot to face Rainbow and Soarin.
They both looked concerned.
"So it's all true that there will be a scary and creepy voice that will ask you deep private questions?" Dash asked.
Twilight nodded.
"Well, if you think about it it's actually not that bad. I mean isn't it just like our game of Truth or Dare. You just throw out a secret? I mean... we just did that last night."
Twilight shook her head.
"It's worse. I heard something once. I also saw it. It had a deep scary voice and eight eyes... like a demon... Guys I think a demon is going to attack."
Rainbow shook her head in disbelief.
"Are you sure Twi, I mean ever since that story I told you've been quite... like no offence but like Fluttershy."
Twilight felt angry.
"NO RAINBOW DASH!" She yelled.
"THIS IS SERIOUS!"
Dash backed towards the shelf.
"Okay... okay Miss-Know-It-All."
Twilight calmed down even though she was still annoyed.
"It's all true... but I have no idea when or where the demon will attack and why. That's why I need you two."
Dash nodded but Soarin was thinking about something else.
"What if it was the end and they were all done for? Would he still be able to express his feelings to Dash up in the sky?
