Rainbow Dash knows her parents are proud of her. She also knows they take it way too far way too often; it's why she doesn't like to visit.
So when she shows up with the mother of all announcements to make, she's prepared for the mother of all freakouts. She's planned for it.

What she hasn't planned for is what comes after all that.

Now with an audio reading!

It's been several days since Rainbow Dash and her new friends used the Elements of Harmony to banish Nightmare Moon and return Princess Luna to Equestria. Sure, there were festivals and celebrations aplenty after that, but they've all died down and ponies have gone back to their lives and their jobs. Rainbow, in particular, is working a late night shift with the weather patrol in an effort to arrange early-morning showers.

She's more than a little surprised when she sees Twilight Sparkle headed out into the woods north of town with a telescope on her back and flies down to find out why.

Twilight explains that she's there to admire the job being done by another pony, one who hasn't had the chance to perform it in a very, very long time.
