Twilight's P.O.V

I glanced at my watch, half past two. She was late. Not only was she late, but half an hour late. "Uh!" I groaned, "Hurry up Rainbow, we don't have all day!" Stress was starting to get to me, this meeting was really important and we needed all the carriers of the Elements of Harmony. "Calm down sugar cube, she'll get here, eventually," Applejack said, placing her hand my shoulder. I knew she was trying to reassure me, but it really wasn't working.

We were abruptly interrupted as the crystal doors of the palace swung open with a loud bang. Standing, there was Rainbow Dash. Her hair was scruffy. Beads of sweats were pouring down her face as she tried to grasp for air.

"I'm... so... sorry that I'm late... everybody. ", she panted, "I was at work and.... I didn't see your text..... Twilight.

Rainbow still stood in the entrance of the meeting room, trying to cool down.

I was about to speak when Applejack placed her hand over my mouth. I gave her an evil glare, but she rolled her eyes and said, "It's fine sweetheart. We're glad that you're here now." She gestured for Rainbow to sit down. Rainbow nodded and started to walk to her seat only to find that it was already taken. Gently, I brushed Applejack's hand away from my mouth to speak, "Starlight, could you move, please? Rainbow needs to sit down." I asked. Starlight jolted upright and looked at Rainbow and then at the seat she was sitting in.

"Of course Princess. I'm ever so sorry Rainbow, I... I didn't realise", Starlight stuttered, "Let me get out of your seat.." Starlight was about to get out of Rainbow's seat when Rainbow pushed her back down. A surprised look spread across Starlight's flustered face. "Nah, it's ok. You got here first, you deserve to sit down." Rainbow politely said, removing her hands from Starlight's shoulders as she turned her attention to me.

"So boss, what did you call me out here for?"
