Chapter Nine: The Seven Musketeers

Rarity, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Princess Cadence were prepared, and headed towards Derpy's house, which Derpy had willingly traded for a spot in AJ's barn. On the way there, Rarity got bored and wanted to spark a conversation.

"So, Cadence. How are things at the Crystal Empire?" Cadence made a shrug-like motion.

"Yeah. You're right." Twilight leaned in closer to Applejack. "I have a more private matter to discuss, too. Can you keep it a secret?" Applejack nodded, and Twilight started whispering. "Do you ever think about love?"
