	As the janitorial team hastily cleaned up the mess in the throne room, Celestia snuck through the window. The second that she was out of sight, she took off. One short spell cast later, and she was disguised once more as the infamous pegasus known as "Sunny Skies". Only this time, Sunny Skies was much younger than she had been the last dozen times she had been out.

After landing at the Canterlot Train station, she presented the Ticketmaster enough bits to get a seat in the first-class car. Of course she did. It was the car that had the cake.

Though it was questionable as to how Sunny Skies went from a slightly pyromaniac mare to a sweet little cake-nibbling filly, most ponies couldn't care less about the difference. She was still Sunny Skies, and as long as she was there, she still brought light to their hearts. Literally.

After stuffing her face with about three batches of cupcakes, her filly body could no longer hold in the sheer amount of energy that had been building up since that morning. Immediately, Sunny Skies burst into an amazing light show, first starting with an aura that seemed eerily as if it came from a horn, and then escalating rapidly to a full-scale laser party, momentarily blinding everyone in the car. Along with that, she had also attracted the attention of both Discord and Pinkie, of whom both instantaneously teleported to the scene. In Discord's case, it was just for the sheer chaos that was taking place. As for Pinkie, she obviously sensed a party.





Upon arrival at the recently built Crystal Train Station, the train doors opened up, releasing a torrential downpour of partygoers. Some way or another, Pinkie had managed to teleport any and every pony within a mile radius of the train into the party. As one might expect, the ponies simply shrugged off the sudden change of scenery, 'cause who wouldn't like a free party?

As the tsunami of ponies began slowing to a trickle, Sunny Skies stumbled out. In her mind, she made a note to self; Never start a crazy rave party in a stuffy train car.

Once she recovered from the crazed mob mentality, she set back to her original goal. Not too long ago, before her transformation, she had come to the Crystal Empire to attend the Crystalling of Flurry Heart, another alicorn foal. But that was back then. Now, as a foal herself, she could easily make friends with the little filly, and get away with it.

After she arrived at the palace in the center of the city, she quietly altered her disguise spell, opting for a more aged body, much like her old self. She would have to look as close to herself as possible if she wanted to enter. Luckily, the disguise spell had also taken affect on her vocal chords. Now, instead of sounding like the squeaky little filly she was, she sounded like her old self; Regal, grand, refined. At the sight of the Princess, the palace guards immediately opened the doors, allowing for her entrance.

After the guards closed the doors, Celestia dropped her disguise, and made her way towards the dining room, where she found Flurry Heart being fed in her royal high-chair.
