Chapter 2 Ep 6: The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over
Chapter 2 Ep 6: The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over
At the Community Garden, Sparky was eating flowers around. Izzy, who was supposed to be dragonsitting him today, quickly ran with him after Sparky chomped a yellow flower.
"Oh, Sparky, save your snacking for food, not flowers!" Izzy told him with a soft tone. However, Sparky started to gibberish sadly, and Izzy looked at him feeling a bit bad. "Aw, it's okay. You didn't know any better and you're just getting your sillies out." She told the baby dragon with a smile, but Sparky took that as a sign to run away and have fun around town, while Izzy chased him behind. "Oh, no, no, no! I didn't mean to 'silly-out' even more!" She told him, chasing him towards Maretime Bay, where the baby dragon started to run on the street as some ponies watched. "Sparky, stop!" Izzy told him, but Sparky kept running away.
Izzy panted a little, and then realized that they were in town, so she shouted to the baby dragon again. "Sparky, slow!" she told him, but the baby dragon kept running. He jumped over Toots, who was eating a donut and ended up having it over his eyes. Then he ran around Sprout, who was just walking on Mane Street, and Izzy followed him, then accidentally hit Sprout on the face. Sparky kept running happily, until he stopped and looked at a dark alley in fright.
Izzy arrived and stepped in front of him, panting after chasing him around Maretime Bay. "Okay, enough running for today" She told the baby dragon, who looked again at the dark alley in fear. "What's wrong?" Izzy asked Sparky, a bit worried and confused. "You're acting like there's some mysterious and scary presence lurking in the shadows directly behind me" she said in a cheery tone, not knowing that there actually was a presence behind her.
Izzy turned around, and then gasped when she saw another unicorn mare, Misty to be precise, who started her mission to infiltrate into the Crystal Brighthouse to get Sunny's lantern. "Hi, friend! What's your name? I'm Izzy Moonbow!" Izzy presented herself, extending her hoof to Misty with a smile.
Misty put down a pen after drawing a fake butterfly Cutie Mark on her flank, and stared at Izzy's extended hoof blankly. "Uh, Misty." She introduced herself nervously. "I, uh... just got into town, and now I'm gonna leave, bye!" She said to Izzy, then tried to stay away from her.
Yet again, it's Izzy we're talking about, since she started to follow Misty around. "Wait, wait, I remember when I was new in town! Where ya going?!" Izzy insisted over Misty, who just wanted to stay away from her before she spilled that she was working with Opaline. "Do you want me to show you around?" She asked cheerfully to Misty.
"Uh... I..." Misty said nervously, turning around to face Izzy, and then she got a bit scared when she saw Sparky growling at her with a frown.
"Aw, don't mind him." Izzy said with a smile. "He's probably just excited to see another unicorn like me––" She said, then gasped and started to jump joyfully around Misty. "Wait a minute! Unicorns, you! Me! Us! We can be..." Izzy gasped again and lifted Misty in a hug. "Unicorn friends!" she shouted excitedly, then she put Misty down, and the unicorn started to walk backwards a bit uncomfortable with Izzy. "Oops! Sorry. I've been told my hugs can be pretty heavy-duty" Izzy apologized.
Misty then ran away, but just when she thought she was away from Izzy, the unicorn appeared in front of her and startled her.
"This is incredible." Izzy said with a cheery tone, while Misty just smiled awkwardly. "I can't believe I've made a new unicorn friend! Poof! Just like that." She said, making a gesture with her hoof to prove her point, as she approached Misty who walked backwards nervously. "I mean, I've known a lot of unicorns, but, I dunno, something about you feels different." she said, looking closely at Misty with a suspicious tone.
"It does?" Misty asked with panic in her voice.
"Mm-hmm" Izzy said, nodding with a little frown. "It must be... Because you're my first official unicorn friend here in Maretime Bay!" She shouted, again with her usual cheery tone.
Misty looked around and then smiled nervously. "Yes. That must be it!" she said, relieved that she hasn't been discovered.
"Yes!" Izzy exclaimed excitedly. "This is such perfect timing because I have been missing Bridlewood... so much lately" She confessed with a nostalgic tone. "The trees, the teas, even the jinxies!" She said, as she got to Misty's side again. "I bet we could spend hours bonding over Bridlewood experiences, having both grown up as unicorns, right?!" She asked cheerfully to Misty, placing a hoof around her neck while Misty looked on in nervousness since she didn't grow up in Bridlewood.
"Yeah. I gue–– Well..." Misty said nervously, looking around and trying to find the right words, while Sparky poked his head from Izzy's mane and growled with a frown at Misty.
Izzy noticed and looked at the baby dragon on her head. "What's gotten into you, little Spark-Spark?" She asked him with a smile. "Misty's our friend." She said excitedly, pointing at said unicorn with a smile, but Sparky kept growling at Misty, and then got down from Izzy's head. "Ah! We'll celebrate us meeting with a... traditional unicorn sleepover!" Izzy shouted excitedly.
"What's that?" Misty asked in confusion.
"It's the unicorn tradition for whenever you make a very special, new best friend." Izzy explained quickly. "You've never heard of it?!" She asked Misty, who walked backwards with a sheepish smile.
"Oh, yes of course!" Misty said nervously. "I thought you said, 'weep-over!' Which is when you like cry over not having any lunch? Like me!" She lied. "Which is why I thought of it just now. I'm really hungry!" She said, sighing at the end after telling all of that so quickly.
"So, it's official!" Izzy said with a cheery smile. "You're gonna sleepover at the Crystal Brighthouse tonight!" She added, pointing at the Crystal Brighthouse in the distance.
"Oh, tonight?" Misty asked nervously. "But I can't really–– And there's something I have to––" She tried to say, but Izzy was already walking away.
"I'm gonna have snacks and streamers and tea lights for ambiance! And those hay pillows over there!" Izzy shouted, walking towards the Crystal Brighthouse. "Okay, gotta go get ready! See you later, Misty!" She told the other unicorn.
Misty looked at her go, then she looked at Sparky, who growled at her and decided to follow Izzy. Misty then looked at the ground with sadness and worry, knowing that Opaline would pretty much not let her go.
Back at Opaline’s Castle, Opaline did the exact opposite at what Misty was thinking, to unicorn surprise.
“So I get to go to the party?" Misty asked Opaline with a little smile.
"Oh, Misty, you're going to party it up alright." Opaline replied with an evil grin. "You're going to party all night until you steal Sunny's precious magic lantern." She said while looking at a projection of Sunny’s lantern. “While also finding out more about Sunset Shimmer as well.” She added, wanting to know more about Sunset.
"I'm not really sure that's how parties work. I've never been to one." Misty said, while Opaline stared at her with anger. "But you're the expert!" She quickly added with a nervous laugh.
“Get in that lighthouse, and--” Opaline started but was cut off.
“Brighthouse.” Misty corrected.
“Whatever!” Opaline yelled out in annoyance as she continued. “Get there and find. That. Lantern. And find out more about Sunset.” She pointed out while getting close to Misty’s face, with said Unicorn nodding her head in acknowledge.
Back at the Brighthouse at sunset, Izzy is telling her friends about earlier as she grew excited.
"And she had a horn just like me! And hooves just like me!" Izzy said cheerfully, while Zipp and Pipp looked at each other with smiles and Sunset rolled her eyes playfully with a smile. "And a face! Just like me." Izzy added, jumping on the table and startling Sunny a little bit, who had a smoothie on her hoof.
Sunny laughed at Izzy's attitude before reply. "She sounds like a unique unicorn." She said with a smile.
“No matter how many ponies you meet, Izzy. You always seemed to see them as friends.” Sunset said with an amusing smile.
"And you said Sparky was growling at her?" Zipp asked, while Hitch played with said dragon - who was holding a crab plush - behind the couch as Zipp looked sideways at them. "I wonder why..." She said in a suspicious look.
“Sparky is a baby dragon, but a clever one at that. And he never growls at a pony before. He just giggled at them.” Sunset said, having seen Sparky behavior before.
Then, Hitch accidentally threw Sparky too high and the baby dragon jumped on Pipp's head, then landed on the floor with a crab plushie as the baby dragon was giggling.
“Twilight.” Sunset called out to the amulet as it opened up and Twilight appeared. “Had Spike growled at anypony back when he just hatched from his egg? Because Sparky growled at some unicorn today?” She asked Twilight with her expert knowledge of dragons.
“Not really. Spike never growled at anypony when he first hatched, or any baby dragon from what Fluttershy told me during Baby Dragon Hatching Season.” Twilight answered, having experienced this kind of thing from taking care of Spike and from what Fluttershy told her after her trip to the Dragon Lands with Spike and Smolder.
“Well that’s strange.” Sunset said, finding it strange that Sparky growled at a pony for some reason.
"Ahh, you know. Sparky growls at everypony and every twig, bug, and critter!" Izzy pointed out cheerfully, looking at the baby dragon with a smile. "He's just a curious baby dragon. It's what he does!" She said, while Sparky used his dragon fire to turn the crab plush into a carrot and Izzy recorded him with her phone.
"Speaking of, it's time to get this little guy back to the station and start his bedtime routine!" Hitch said, as he grabbed Sparky and held him on his arm, while the baby dragon looked at him with sad eyes since he didn't want to sleep.
Izzy then gasped as she looked at the hour on her phone. "That's the time?! I've got to get moving! There's so many great treats and traditions to get ready!" She stated, jumping to the table and sitting on it. "This is gonna be the best sleepover anypony's ever been to in all of Bridlewood!" she cheered with a smile. "I mean–– Maretime Bay. I mean–– Equestria!" She corrected herself cheerfully, now walking towards her crafting spot.
"Well, I thought my birthday party last year was pretty epic, but guess the bar's always rising." Pipp said with a smile.
“Everypony has their moments, Pipp. Besides this is the first time for Izzy, so let’s give the unicorn this one.” Sunset answered with a smile, going to give Izzy a shot at this.
After a while, the rest decide to help out with the decorations, and soon realizes that things went overboard as Izzy hums loudly.
"Roll out the yarn balls!" Izzy said cheerfully, while Sunny, Pipp and Sunset looked at the exaggerated amount of yarn balls on the dinner table.
“Where does she get this amount anyway?” Sunset asked the others in surprise, with no answer as the others are clueless themselves.
Then outside the Brighthouse, Zipp was lifting some tea cups with lights on the ceiling.
"Woop! Woop! String up the tea lights!" Izzy said, as Zipp did such the thing with a smile, but then a bird stood on the string and Zipp frowned at it.
Later, all of them were inside the Brighthouse.
"Hang lots of colorful scarves for... Ambiance!" Izzy said, as everyone around the Brighthouse placed scarves of different colors in places like the lamps and the stairs as the others smiled at this.
“Gotta say, Izzy. You really know how to set things up for the occasion.” Sunset said with a smile, really admiring Izzy’s decoration skills.
“Heh, I try.” Izzy said with a smile, and then she heard the doorbell ring, and Izzy gasped and turned to it excited. "Sweet sauce, horseshoe toss! She's here! Yay!" She cheered, walking excited to the door. Izzy then opened the door and found Misty, holding her own pillow with a sheepish smile. "Welcome to the Brighthouse, Misty..." Izzy tried to say, but then she realized that Misty never told her her last name. "Misty, uh... Uh, what's your last name?" She whispered to the other unicorn.
"Ah, uh..." Misty tried to come up with something since she didn't have an actual last name. She looked at the Brighthouse quickly and talked before thinking. "Bright-house!" she replied, but the rest looked at her confused, especially Sunset who raised an eyebrow at that. "Bright, uh..." Misty started to look around again, then she looked at the image of dawn behind the Brighthouse on one of the doors stained glasses and smiled. "Bright... dawn. Brightdawn!" She said, smiling sheepishly again.
"Welcome, Misty Brightdawn, to the best unicorn sleepover of your unicorn life!" Izzy said, as Misty entered the Brighthouse and looked in awe at the decorations.
"So nice to finally meet you, Misty!" Sunny said with a smile. “Izzy’s told us--” She tried to add but was cut off.
"Told you? Told you what?" Misty asked defensively as she walked aside nervously.
Sunset raised an eyebrow at Misty’s behavior, seeing something strange about this unicorn.
"When did you say you got into Maretime Bay?" Zipp asked suspiciously to Misy, who turned to her in surprise.
"Oh I didn't––" Misty tried to reply, but then Zipp bombed her with questions.
"In town just for a visit or staying permanently?" Zipp asked, which made Misty feel uncomfortable.
Izzy then came between the two ponies as she gave Zipp a smile. “Zipp, Zipp, Zipp, Zipp.” She said as she placed a hoof on Zipp’s back. “Buddy, you’re hoofing it up the wrong hill here! You don't need to 'detective' her. Misty's our friend." She pointed out, while Zipp kept looking at Misty suspiciously. "Ooh! We're already way behind schedule." She said, going closer to the others. "Come on, 'unicorns'!" Izzy said, as she, Sunny and Pipp ran away giggling excitedly, while Misty gulped nervously and Zipp and Sunset followed behind, still feeling suspicious about the new unicorn.
“You feel suspicious about this too, huh Sunset?” Zipp asked Sunset next to her.
“I sure do. That unicorn is acting strange. But let’s think about it later. Izzy did put a lot of work into this sleepover.” Sunset said, while she’s suspicious about Misty herself, they gotta let Izzy have her fun since she planned this sleepover.
“Okay. But still. This is strange.” Zipp said, still feeling suspicious as she and Sunset followed the others.
At the kitchen's table, the girls were decorating fake unicorn horns with some of Izzy's crafting stuff, while Izzy was decorating her actual horn with some little pearls. Sunset just makes her fake her just for fun since she’s good at art.
After finishing with her horn, she made a little reverence to show it to the others, who exclaimed in awe at Izzy's decorated horn.
Pipp tried to put some glitter on the fake horn that she had on her mane, but the glitter bottle's lid fell, and the glitter fell in Pipp's chin, giving her a Glitter beard, which caused everyone - herself included - to laugh at it.
“You got yourself a glitter beard again, Pipp.” Sunset said through her laughs, which earned louder laughs from the rest of the girls, including Pipp of having a glitter beard before from her failed products she was making.
“Oh my glitter.” Pipp said with a smile, but seeing this as an upgrade compared to her last glitter beard since this one is a little small.
Later on, Izzy builded up a pillow fortress with pillows from the couches and the bedroom, putting a red flag at the top to finish it.
"Ta-dah!" Izzy said cheerfully, showing the tower to the others, who are awed at the pillow fort Izzy made.
Misty then put her pillow on the fortress, but it tilted before falling up completely. While the rest immediately moved aside, Izzy fell on one of the pillows, and the rest just laughed again at the scene.
Later, the group sat around the dinner table, with a board game on it that Izzy brought.
"So, how does this game work?" Sunny asked her.
"The rules of 'Dare the Mare' go..." Izzy started, then she took a deep breath and explained the rules quickly. "If a player spins the wheel and lands on an odd number then they dare the mare to do something fun, but if they land on an even number they dare the mare to do something funny and if their fun is too funny or funky too fun they go back and do it all over again!" She explained with a smile.
Sunny and Zipp looked at each other confused, Misty smiled nervously, Sunset had no idea of what she just heard since Izzy can really make up words as she goes.
“That’s a mouthful, Izzy.” Sunset commented on Izzy from saying those words without taking a breath.
Pipp, however, smiled nervously. "But that makes total sense." She said, then Izzy took a deep breath again and threw the board game away, almost hitting Sunny, Sunset and Zipp if it wasn't because they dodged it.
"Whoops. Explaining the rules took too long!" Izzy said cheerfully. “We've got to move on, party ponies!" She said, moving on to the next activity.
“Is anypony else think that Izzy is getting a little overboard than usual?” Sunset asked the others, who nodded in agreement as they followed Izzy to their next activity.
Now they were in the living room, with Sunny and Izzy sitting in front of each other on some pillows while Izzy held Sunny's hooves together and the others just looked.
"The art of hoof-reading has been in the Moonbow family for generations! It all started with Great-Great-Auntie Buttons." Izzy said with pride, while Misty looked around, and after checking no one was looking at her, she started to search for Sunny's lantern as quickly as she could. But once she got back to her initial position, Zipp and Sunset did looked at her, and both gave a suspicious look while Misty smiled nervously and looked back at Sunny and Izzy.
"Ooh! So interesting!" Misty said, while the rest, sins Zipp and Sunset, looked on with a smile.
“Something’s strange with that unicorn.” Sunset said as Zipp nodded in agreement.
Back at the dinner table, there were 5 tea cups and a kettle in the middle of the table.
"Tea time!" Izzy announced, as she gave a cup to each one of her friends. However, when she gave her cup to Misty, she drank some of it, and Izzy looked on with a smile and a raised eyebrow. "Uh... Misty?" She called out, while Misty stopped slurping. "Those tea leaves were for reading, not for drinking. Remember?" She said, while Misty put the drink back to the cup with a sheepish smile.
“Don’t worry. It happens to a lot of us. I didn’t get it the first time either until my friends Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy taught me.” Sunset said with a comforting smile, seeing that this pony didn’t know as Misty feels less embarrassed now, but then widen her eyes in shock when Sunset mentioned Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, having heard the tales and backstory from Opaline and that she mention that they helped her with the tea thing, which surprised Misty from that.
Later, there were some bowls with ponycorn and cups for each one of the mares.
"Ponycorn station!" Pipp sang excitedly at the ponycorns.
"Yum! Oh, thanks Izzy!" Sunny said with a smile.
“Great snacks!” Sunset added with a smile as well.
"Yeah!" Zipp added with a smirk.
Misty, however, grabbed one of the ponycorns and looked at it suspiciously. She then ate it, and if her eyes could turn into literal stars, they definitely would have right now. "This is the best things I've ever eaten in my entire life!" she exclaimed with joy.
While the mares just looked at her with smiles, except for Zipp who kept looking at her suspiciously and Sunset raised an eyebrow at Misty’s reaction as Pipp ate one of the ponycorns slowly.
Misty saw their reaction and realized what she said as quickly spoke again with a sheepish smile. “That I say every time I eat it ‘cause I eat it all the time. Or did when I lived in Bridlewood all the time.” She said quickly as she grabbed more ponycorns and tossed them into her mouth, trying to not draw suspicion since she hasn't lived in Bridlewood all her life so she doesn’t know the custom as she giggled nervously.
Zipp and Sunset are still suspicious about Misty as Sunset spoke.
“Well, if you love ponycorns that much, how about some apple pie that is being made in the oven.” Sunset said suspiciously as she pointed to the oven. “Granted, it’s not as good as Applejack’s and her family used to make, but it’s as close as I can get.” She added, having learned how to make apple pies from Applejack and her family half the time.
Misty widens her eyes again when Sunset mentions Applejack, having heard from Opaline as well and that Sunset knows her personally as she quickly smiles at Sunset. “Sure thing. I would try it.” She quickly said.
“Alright then.” Sunset said to Misty as the mares continued their activities.
Then, the mares sat down on the living room couches to watch a movie. You know, the usual sleepover thing. With Zipp, Sunset and Pipp sat together on the couch with Pipp having a bowl of ponycorn on her hooves and Sunny and Misty sitting on a couple of chairs while Izzy sat on the floor and held the TV mote.
"'Trotting Hill', a unicorn sleepover classic!" Izzy said cheerfully, then looked at the hour on her phone. "But we only have three minutes to move through, let's go!" she added, throwing her phone away and speeding up the movie.
"Don't you see, Salty?" A unicorn mare said in the movie.
"I'm just a unicorn standing in front of another unicorn, asking him to share with her!" Izzy repeated the line. "So romantic!" She said, once again speeding up the movie.
"If she’s another pony version of 'Twilight' mixed with ‘Pinkie’, I'm out of here." Sunset muttered with a bored expression, having seen this kind of schedule thing from Twilight, both human and pony when it comes to scheduling, and that if Izzy’s a combination of the two ponies since Izzy is like Pinkie, that’s a horrible combo mixed together, while Misty widen in shock again that Sunset mention Twilight, that name is really 100 percent familiar to her.
"Say Izzy, you think we can slow down a bit?" Sunny asked with a smile.
“Yeah. You’re speeding things way too much for us to enjoy.” Sunset pointed that Izzy is being too quick on this sleepover thing.
"Yeah, I've barely made a dent in my chocolate ponycorn!" Pipp pointed out, now holding the bowl of ponycorn they had before.
Misty smiled at the ponycorn widely as she spoke. “I’ll help you finish it!” She called out excitedly, really loving the ponycorns and wanting some more.
Izzy gasped at what she heard from her friends. “Slow down?" She asked, and got up so suddenly that her tail hit Misty and made her feel in the ground, while Pipp looked confused at Izzy. "If anything, we need to speed up!" She stated, now facing all of her friends. "If we don't do everything, it's jinxie!" She stated.
"Don't you think it's a little weird Misty's just as lost as us?" Zipp whispered to Sunset and Pipp at her side, while Sunset thought of this and Pipp just side smiled as she got close to Izzy. "She claims to have grown up in Bridlewood, but it's as if she's never even been there, guys." She said with suspicion.
“Uh, Zipp. Pipp went to Izzy.” Sunset said while pointing to the others, which Zipp followed her gaze and saw Pipp next to Izzy with Sunny as well.
"What's next, Izzy?" Sunny asked her, as Izzy had the list open for her, Sunny and Pipp to read it.
"'Ask an Amethyst'?" Pipp read a bid confused. "What's that?" She asked Izzy.
"You mean having conversations with your crystals is just a unicorn thing?" Izzy questioned with a smile as she turned to Sunset.
“Don’t look at me. Back in my day during ancient Equestria, unicorns didn't do that. Must be a new thing generations later. Besides, Rarity is a gem kinda unicorn, but she doesn’t talk to them.” Sunset pointed out since this never happened back in the old days and added Rarity who loved collecting gems, but never talked to them, which made Misty surprised to hear that from Sunset from hearing part of ancient Equestria and about Rarity and that Sunset knows of it.
“Whoa.” Izzy said in awed as she then turned to see Misty, who was eating from the ponycorn bowl. "Can you believe that, Misty?" She asked her about the thing with the crystals.
"Uh, totally. It's, um... What you said." Misty replied nervously, since she was too busy with the ponycorn that didn't pay attention to Izzy. "So, uh. Where's that little dragon from earlier?" She asked curiously. "Shouldn't he be enjoying the party as well?" She added.
"Oh, Sparky? Hitch is limiting the overnight dragon-sitting until he gets the hang of his dragon fire" Pipp explained.
"'Dragon fire', is that magical? Like your Cut–– our Cutie Marks?" Misty asked, while quickly making sure not to blow her cover.
"It's definitely something." Sunny said with a smile. “We’re not sure what yet.” She added.
"It can transform all sorts of stuff, though!" Pipp said cheerfully. "Even Cutie Marks." She added. “Just ask Sunny about the little Hitch Switch!" She said with a giggle.
Izzy, Pipp, Zipp and Sunset turned to Sunny with smirks on their faces. “Oh!" Sunny said, as she looked away from her friends with a blush and a nervous chuckle, never gonna forget that time anytime soon.
“Though it did make the two ponies understand each other.” Sunset commented with a smirk.
Misty then placed a hoof on her chin, having thoughts on the dragon fire that may be useful for Opaline.
Later on, the group gathered in the living room holding some crystals while Izzy cleared her throat.
"And now, for my favorite part–– Well, next to my favorite part and my other other favorite..." Izzy said, then took a deep breath and continued. "It's the sleepover sing-along!" She announced, then took another deep breath and somehow blew a note from the crystal. "We sing this all the time back in Bridlewood, even foals know it!" She pointed out with a smile.
"Well then, why don't you and Misty do it as a duet?" Zipp suggested. "Teach us together." She added with a very bad acted cheery tone.
“But leave me out of it. I have no idea what this sleepover sing-along is.” Sunset said, reminding them that she doesn’t know these things yet.
Izzy gasped and then looked at Misty. "Brilliant idea!" she stated, then she grabbed Misty and dragged her along to the front of the rest. "We'll jump into the chorus together, then you take the verse." she instructed Misty, while Zipp behind looked on as if she wanted Misty to fail.
Izzy started to sing, while Misty followed barely since she didn't know the song at all. While the rest were more focused about the crystals that started to float behind Izzy and Misty, Zipp looked at the last unicorn suspiciously.
Once Izzy stopped, Misty tried to follow up, however, she had to make up most of it since, again, she didn't grow up in Bridlewood. After she finished, Izzy looked down in disappointment, and she put the crystals back down.
"Oh... I guess we just learned different versions. That's okay..." Izzy said with a sad tone, walking away, while Zipp once again looked at Misty with suspicion. Sunset is suspicious about Misty as well, but seeing Izzy like that makes her feel sorry for the unicorn.
"I'm sorry we don't know a ton of unicorn stuff, Izzy." Sunny told her, approaching the mare. "But we're happy to learn!" She assured Izzy with a smile.
“I’m still new to this new unicorn custom since I’m still learning about the new unicorn ways, considering I used to be a unicorn myself.” Sunset said to Izzy, since she is still learning the new unicorn customs in this new age of Equestria, she gotta catch up with the times.
"And we're happy to do all the other things you had planned!" Pipp assured with a smile.
"It may just take us a while." Zipp added.
"Ah, thanks guys." Izzy said with a little smile. "Maybe we can continue the list and... I'll just sing the song by myself later." She added, feeling sad again, while Misty looked sheepishly and quietly walked away.
“No, no, no, no.” Pipp called out as the girls, sin Misty, came close to Izzy. “Of course not. I’ll sing it with you!” She said to Izzy, not wanting her to do this alone.
“Or maybe we can play another game together?” Sunny suggested.
“Or maybe watch a full movie together?” Sunset added.
“Oh!” Pipp called out. “What about that Unicorn tradition you mentioned where we all balance yarn balls on our heads and coin to the highest number we can think of?” She suggested.
“That’s something dolphins would do.” Sunset muttered from Pipp’s idea while Misty looked at the second floor and went upstairs, without anypony noticing.
Misty arrived at the bedrooms, and started to look around for Sunny's lantern on her section of the room, but she can’t seem to find the lantern.
“Where is that lantern?” Misty asked herself as she checked Sunny’s bed and found nothing, not realizing that the lantern was next to the otherside of Sunny’s bed, with Sunny’s saddle bag over it to keep it out of sight.
Misty then found the compact mirror she gave to Sunny on her birthday to spy on her and her friends. "Ooh! I can use this." She said with joy, then she grabbed the mirror and opened it. "Opaline? Opaline!" She called out, and after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened. "Oh right. This thing doesn't work inside the Brighthouse." She said, remembering that the Unity Crystals had a spell that protected the Brighthouse from letting any spell or negative energy out.
Misty looked around for a window, then she arrived at Zipp's side of the room and opened the window, then poked her head out with the mirror on her hooves. "Opaline, I'm in!" She announced, as Opaline's face finally appeared in the mirror. "But no lantern. I did get some information about Sunset, but it will take too long to fill you in, so I’ll tell you later. What do I do next?" She asked her with worry.
"Ugh! Think, Misty!" Opaline scolded her. "There's got to be some way up to that glass room at the top. The lantern will be up there, with the Prisbeam!" She instructed her as Misty looked up at the Brighthouse where the rainbow was shooting out and where the Unity Crystals are. “Don’t come back without it! Then their power is ours.” She instructed lastly, then laughed maniacally, with Misty also delivered a very good maniac laugh, which impressed Opaline from this. “Oh, better, Misty. But it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t be a show-off.” She said as she ended the call.
Misty closed both the mirror and the window, then got back inside the Brighthouse and looked at the elevator. She got inside of it and looked at the button, then looked at her hoof and pressed the button, but the elevator did not move at all.
"Why isn't it working?" Misty asked herself with worry, as she got a few more tries. But then, an alarm rang and made Misty panic. "No! Shh! Shh, shh, shh! They'll find out––" She tried to shut the alarm off, but then two familiar figures showed up.
"Find what out?" Zipp asked first, looking at her with a little frown with Sunset next to her with a raised eyebrow.
"That, uh, I can't figure out this key pad to go up to the washroom! So embarrassing." Misty said with a nervous smile.
“Misty, that’s just the elevator to the roof to the Brighthouse. ” Sunset pointed out to Misty, wondering why she is at the elevator, apparently trying to get up but couldn’t since the button also acts like a hoof scanner, preventing anypony who isn’t the Mane 6 from going up the Brighthouse while protecting the Unity Crystals from being taken.
"You were trying to find the washroom in the elevator?" Zipp questioned again.
“You do know there’s no other room except the roof of the Brighthouse, right?” Sunset asked Misty, since it’s not hard to tell that the Brighthouse doesn't have an extra room up top, it’s not that hard to miss.
"No, but I thought–– Well, I thought I'd go look at the view first!" Misty replied nervously. "It's a fun Bridlewood tradition, which is probably why you two didn't know about it." She added with a nervous chuckle.
"First Bridlewood tradition we totally get!" Zipp replied with a smile while Sunset nodded in agreement. "I love awesome views. Maybe we'll take you up there to look some other time!" She stated, while Misty smiled sheepishly. "But the washroom is down there." She said, pointing to the floor with her head.
“Yeah, it’s just the door to the right from the bedroom, Misty.” Sunset added.
Misty scratched her neck sheepishly and walked away nervously. "Thanks, Zipp and Sunset. I'll be sure to take you both up on that." She added, walking away from the room.
Zipp and Sunset kept looking at her suspiciously as the two ponies walked off. “Zipp. I know that Misty is strange but to be fair, she does remind me of Fluttershy when she gets confused, and I'm not surprised if anypony is.” Sunset said to Zipp, while she is having strange feelings from Misty, she can understand how unfamiliar the unicorn is being in a new place.
“But Sunset, something is strange, it’s like she doesn’t know much about the Bridlewood traditions that Izzy mentioned.” Zipp pointed out.
“Neither do we. And I’m a unicorn myself.” Sunset countered. “But this is Izzy’s first sleepover in Maretime Bay and we don’t want to cause problem of it.” She said, not wanting to hurt Izzy’s feelings. “While I still have my suspicions about Misty, Zipp, but we want what’s best for Izzy and not ruin something she had planned for.” She reasoned to Zipp, while she knows Misty is strange as well, this is Izzy’s special time, and it shouldn’t be ruined.
Zipp looked at Sunset a bit before sighing to herself, no argument to that as they walked out of the bedroom.
Back at the living room, the mares gathered their respective sleeping bags. Sunny was in the middle of Zipp and Pipp, while Sunset was at Sunny's side and Izzy was in the middle of Zipp and Misty.
"Well, that was fun, but I guess it's over now." Izzy said a bit sad, as she settled herself on her sleeping bag. "Good night, everypony." She added.
"I'm not that sleepy." Sunny confessed to Izzy with a smile, having a plan to cheer Izzy up.
“I’d be up all night and still have enough energy, so I'm not sleepy yet.” Sunset added, seeing Sunny’s plan while looking at Pipp, who is laying down on her sleeping bag, almost falling asleep. “Are you, Pipp?” She asked the young pegasus.
Then after hearing Sunset, Pipp suddenly stood up and looked around quickly. "Oh! No, no! I'm..." She yawned before continuing talking. "I'm really fired up for more fun actually." She said tiredly with a smile.
"Ah! Let's tell stories!" Sunny suggested with a smile.
That was enough to cheer Izzy up. "Sunny! How did you know we do that at a unicorn sleepover?!" She asked genuinely surprised.
“That’s one tradition we do here, too.” Sunny pointed out with a smile as she pulled out a flashlight and turned it on.
“It’s common in every sleepover, Izzy.” Sunset added with a smile.
"Woo!" Izzy cheered, as she sat down on her sleepover and the rest just looked at her with smiles.
"This is the true story of the Guardians of Harmony and the beginning of Equestria..." Sunny announced with a bright smile.
“Awesome!” Sunset said, having told them the true story of Twilight and her friends of their history and from Sunny’s notes as well from Sunset’s notebook as well along with Twilight herself after coming back by using the necklace before, happy to tell stories about her friends and their history to keep the true legends alive.
"Ah... I love this story" Pipp said with a smile, as she clapped her hooves to take the lights off as the mares listened to Sunny.
Sunny and Sunset looked at each other, wanting to know who gets to tell this story. Sunset smiled at Sunny. “Go ahead, Sunny. You tell the story this time.” She said to Sunny.
“Thanks, Sunset.” Sunny said to Sunset with a smile as she faced her friends as she held a flashlight closer and started to tell the story of Equestria, moons before ponykind split apart for years. "Once upon a time, there was a very special unicorn. A bright unicorn, as bright as the sun! One day, she was summoned by the princess for an assignment: to learn about friendship." She started to tell the story. "She moved to Ponyville and met earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi who became her best friends! Together, they taught the power of unity and how to live in harmony to everypony in Equestria." She told her friends.
“Here comes the next part.” Sunset said to the other, knowing what comes next.
"But then one day, a magical accident happened." Sunny kept telling, which made Pipp lift her head up, since she was almost falling asleep. "An earth pony got hurt by a unicorn. Everypony started fighting with each other! The princess, wanting to protect her kingdom and all of the ponies in it, decided to put all magic into three crystals before it got out of hoof. After that, earth ponies only felt safe with other earth ponies; unicorns and unicorns; and pegasi of a feather flock together. The ponies galloped, trotted and flew as far as they could with their crystals, settling at what would become Zephyr Heights, Bridlewood and Maretime Bay. And that's where they lived forever... until now!" She finished the story with a smile.
"Wait, but that's not the true story at all!" Misty said suddenly with a frown.
"Yes it is." Sunny said with a smirk. "We pieced together the crystal part ourselves! Literally." She added with a little giggle.
“And not only that, I happened to know Twilight well enough to know.” Sunset said, which made Misty confused as to why she said that. “Especially since I returned to help turn Equestria back to the way it was, with a few upgraded magic along the way.” She added, having seen new magic like Earth Pony magic along the way.
Misty kept frowning, and pulled out a flashlight too. "You were right about magic being in Equestria at the beginning. But most of it came from another pony, who wasn't a pony at all, but an Alicorn Queen!" she started to tell her version of the story, since this was probably the distorted version Opaline told her. "Her magic was too powerful, they were jealous of her ability and wanted it all for themselves! So the Princess stole all the magic from the Queen, and hid it away somehow, then the Princess put an enchanted invisi-bubble around Equestria so the powerful Alicorn Queen could never find the magic or the kingdom of ponies, again!" She told the others, which made them confused, especially Sunset since that’s not how it goes. “The Queen was left alone, with only a shadow left of her strength and power" Misty kept telling her story. "All while the other ponies created towns built with her stolen magic!" She finished telling her story.
Zipp clapped her hooves to turn the lights on, as she also stared at Misty with a frown. "Who told you that?" she asked her.
"Uh–– Nopony!" Misty lied, looking around nervously. "Ah, you know, I may have made some of it up." She added with a nervous laugh.
“Yeah, but that’s not how it goes. I should know. Because Twilight Sparkle was my friend.” Sunset said, which made Misty widen her eyes in shock. “I’ve known Twilight since she helped me see how strong the magic of friendship is, and since then, she taught me to keep believing in that magic, no matter how dire it is.” She said while smiling at the memories she and Twilight had. “Twilight would never do things like that, and she always believes in friendship no matter what happens. Heck, when I returned to Equestria, not only did I find out so much has changed, but to realize Twilight and the Guardians of Harmony are now long time legends, and what’s worse, Twilight’s legacy was destroyed when I tried to visit her. I was lost and so alone. But once I met Sunny and the others, we worked together to bring back that legacy and that magic, and as a Guardian of Harmony myself, we are going to protect this legacy, my friend Twilight’s legacy.” She finished with a determined look while the other mares, sin Misty, smiled with Sunset in agreement.
Misty however, gives a shock look as she puts the pieces about Sunset together after what the Alicorn just said, seeing how she knew so well about Twilight and the Guardians of Harmony and the true history of Equestria as well as her being an Alicorn, she is a friend of THE Twilight Sparkle, a member of the Guardians of Harmony.
"'True', 'Made-up', what difference does it make?" Izzy said cheerfully to the others. “Each story was great!" Izzy said with a smile. "Specially that Alicorn Queen part, Misty. Ah! So creative! So epic! Got any more?" She asked her cheerfully as she got close to Misty with a smile.
"Yeah." Sunny agreed with Izzy with a smile.
“That was creative.” Sunset said, finding that story suspicious but no surprise since Twilight’s legacy was covered with a lot of lies and rumors in Equestria and magic was still gone and ponies were divided.
"So... is this like an old Bridlewood pony's tale or...?" Pipp asked, lying with her front legs.
"I've never heard it, but maybe that's just my own corner of the community" Izzy suggested, while Misty just nodded with a nervous smile. "Where did you say you grew up exactly, Misty?" she asked, which caused Misty to panic again.
"Yeah, where did you grow up, Misty?" Zipp asked her with suspicion.
"Uh, nowhere! And nopony! And I... probably gotta get going to get back right about now. Bye!" Misty quickly said, running towards the exit since she felt cornered.
"Wait, Misty! You can't leave, this party is all just for you!" Izzy said, running to the door, but Misty already left and closed the doors behind her.
The others just looked on with worry at both Izzy and Misty as Zipp then felt guilty as she approached Izzy. "Hey, I didn't mean anything by all my questions. I was just... trying to get to the bottom of things and figure out the real truth." She said with concern.
"The truth?" Izzy asked a bit mad at Zipp, slowly looking at her. "You wanna know the truth, Zipp? My first sleepover in Maretime Bay has been a complete and total Jinx-a-thon!" She said with sadness, walking away from Zipp, who looked down with low ears and guilty. "That means 'failure'!" Izzy added quickly before walking away.
Sunset then looked at Zipp when she spoke. “What did I tell you, Zipp? Will it kill ya to not keep getting your detective side out?!” She asked while Zipp kept her head down in guilt as Sunset sighs. “Look, I was having that strange feeling of Misty myself, but I learned the hard way that you must get to know them better before you jump to conclusions and be suspicious about them. I did something similar like that and it nearly cost me my friends. And I kept it to myself because even though I know this is Izzy’s first sleepover with her friends, and yet you keep getting your suspicions out every 5 seconds that Misty said something. I know you want the real truth but you can at least get to know somepony before you think of them as some kind of spy when we hardly know Misty at all when we just got to know her. And yet you ruined Izzy’s sleepover because of your detective side.” She said to Zipp.
Twilight then popped up out of the necklace as she gave a look at Zipp as well. “Sunset’s right, Zipp. You should've gotten to know Misty better before you think that they are hiding something when you hardly know that pony who you just met.” She said to Zipp while also putting on a guilt look. “I felt the same way when I found out Starlight made Trixie her friend and I tried to convince her that she was bad news, only to realize a mistake I made that almost crushed both their friendships if I had put more trust in Starlight instead of holding a grudge of the past of not knowing something about Trixie I didn’t know before.” She said, remembering that day when she didn’t trust Trixie to be Starlight’s friend, a mistake she made that nearly cost friendship to both of them if she hadn’t let her grudge get in the way.
Zipp looked at both Sunset and Twilight as she sighs. “I just wanted to find out the truth so bad, I didn’t realize that I ruined Izzy’s first sleepover.” She said in a guilt tone.
Sunset places a comforting hoof on Zipp. “We all want to find the truth, Zipp. But our friends come first, and then foremost. I’m as suspicious about Misty myself, but like I said, we need to get to know her better before jumping to conclusions and hurting other pony’s feelings.” She said as she learned that the hard way as Twilight nodded in agreement, knowing that feeling as well as Zipp nodded her head in understanding.
Minutes later, Izzy started to pack up everything they used for the sleepover with frustration and sadness. "Party's over, ponies." she announced with grief.
"But we don't have to start cleaning just yet, Izzy." Sunny told her with a smile, while she and the rest came closer to her. "I know this didn't go as you planned, but the night is still young!" She pointed out.
"Yeah! We can still have more fun!" Pipp added with a smile.
“We can do more stories and games.” Sunset added with a smile as well.
However, Izzy sighed in defeat and turned around to face her friends. "That's really sweet of you all to say, but it isn't just Misty leaving. This isn't a real celebratory sleepover without being in Bridlewood anyway." She said with sadness, sitting on the ground with her hind hooves crossed. "I just wish I could lay on the ground and stare up at the big branches of Bridlewood trees rustling above me." She said, looking at the ceiling with a nostalgic smile, that quickly faded away when she looked down and grabbed one of the fake horns from before. "It's what I always did when I felt 'unsparkly'." She added, while the rest just looked at her with sad expressions. "I mean, I love living in the Bay with all you guys." She told them, which caused her friends to smile a little. "But sometimes I miss my unicorn stuff so much! And I thought having Misty here would help." She confessed with sadness as she moved the box.
“Is it because you're the only unicorn, other than me since I wasn’t born in Bridlewood, who didn’t have any friends before and you were so alone that you did anything unicorn related when you're the only unicorn of this era in the group?” Sunset summarizes what Izzy is saying since she is the only unicorn in their era of Equestria in the Mane 6 who knows her traditions in her home tribe town.
Izzy sighs a bit. “Yes.” She answered Sunset’s question, hitting the bullseye from that.
The others felt bad for Izzy as Sunset then thought of something as she whispered into Sunny’s ear, who smiled at her idea and nodded in agreement as they all approached Izzy. "So, what exactly do you miss about Bridlewood? Be specific." Sunny asked Izzy with a smile.
Izzy looked at them with a bright smile. "Do you really wanna hear?" She asked with a smirk and a couple of cute blinks, while the rest just nodded. "Are you sure? The list is longer than the lyrics to my 'Unicorn sleepover sing along song.'" She warned with a smile.
"Oh... Then I'm gonna have to get comfortable." Zipp started with a smile, as she sat on the dinner table and the rest did the same.
"Tell us everything even if it takes all night and into the next day!" Sunny stated.
“So lay it on us, Izzy.” Sunset said with a smile.
Izzy then took a deep breath and started to explain all her list. “Well… I miss the Jinxie dances! Horseshoe games! Sparkle seasons with hot chili peppermint honeysuckle iced teas! The critter contest! The bunnicorns! The Wishiehoofs! The bongo beat poetry! Learning how to hold my breath for long stretches so we can excitedly exclaim long lists like this one that I’m exclaiming now!” She all said in one breath as she took a deep breath.
At the Community Garden, Misty was walking back and forth nervously.
"I have to go, I have to get out of here. I've already said too much!" Misty cried out to herself in panic. "But I can't just leave! Not without that lantern!" She pointed out in worry. "But if I go back, they'll ask me more questions and expose my lies! And that Sunset Shimmer is actually from ancient Equestria and is a Guardian of Harmony! That’s shocking, even for me! And I doubt Opaline knows this as well since she was curious about Sunset as well!" She said in panic. "Unless I sneak past them and bypass the elevator with somepony else's hoof." she stated with a confidence that left as fast as it came. "But whose? And how?!" She asked herself as she started to chuckle nervously. "Is it too late to tell those ponies that I was just kidding?" She added, again chuckling nervously.
Back at the Brighthouse, Izzy kept telling her list of things she missed about Bridlewood.
“Oh! Fuzzy pops in the summer! Funky horn fashions in the Fall! Lighting the Glowpaz stones on each day of the Wishiehoof holidays!” Izzy kept going on the list.
“Psst, Zipp!” Sunny whispers to Zipp while Izzy is lost in the list zone. “Can you distract Izzy while we redecorate a little?” She asked Zipp to keep Izzy going.
“Yeah. We have an idea for her.” Sunset whispered as well.
“Sure! But I don't think my help is gonna be necessary" Zipp said with a smile, knowing that it won’t be a problem.
Sunny and Sunset turned to Pipp. “Come on. It’s time to bring in a little bit of Bridlewood to the Brighthouse.” Sunny said to Pipp.
“This will bring Izzy happiness up high.” Sunset added as she and the two mares sneaked quietly away from Izzy, who was too distracted looking at the ceiling as she kept listing everything she missed from Bridlewood.
“Glow-horn-hats! Staring at the sky-crystals shooting across a shimmering, starry sky!!” Izzy kept listing off the things she missed.
Later on, after redecorating Izzy's side of the bedroom to look more like Bridlewood, at least based on everything Izzy told so far, Pipp and Zipp were leading Izzy, who was walking backwards as she kept listing things she missed from Bridlewood while Sunset and Sunny are behind them.
“Crunchy unicorn cakes! Sweat, salty horn-shaped strudel! Knitting scarves for armadillos in the winter!” Izzy kept going as the two sisters spread out to give Izzy some space.
"Okay, stop listing things Izzy, because one, two... Surprise!" Sunny told her, then Izzy turned around and stared in awe at the decoration of her side of the bedroom: some crystals were hanging on wires; some others were around on the ground; even one of her crafts from La Vila Izzy was there.
“Ahh!” Izzy said in awed at seeing all the comforts of Bridlewood in her bed sections. “What is all this stuff?" Izzy asked with disbelief and at the edge of tears.
"It's all the stuff you said you missed from Bridlewood!" Sunny said with a cheery smile. "Give or take a couple horn-shaped strudels." She pointed out.
“Yeah. The list was so long, we couldn’t get everything from it but it’s better than nothing.” Sunset said with a smile.
"Now you can lay down and look up at the branches, just like home." Pipp told her with a smile.
"I-I can't believe it..." Izzy confessed, still at the edge of tears. "You guys did all of this just as I was talking?" She asked her friends.
"Well, to be fair, you had a lot to say." Zipp pointed out with a smile.
“Yeah. And it’s surprising how you speak that long, but it gave us enough time to get it done.” Sunset added with a smile.
Izzy got closer to Sunny's lantern, which had a crafted cardboard around. "Oh! This is some pretty impressive unicycling, too!" She said cheerfully. "Huh! Maybe you all have a bit of Unicorn in you, after all." she said with a grin. “Aside from you, Sunset. Of course.” She said to Sunset since she was a unicorn.
“Well, art is a skill, a skill that everpony can do with a little practice.” Sunset said with a smile.
Izzy smiled at that before she saw something else that made her gasp behind her friends. “Hey, Misty, you're back!" She cheered.
"Uh, yeah" Misty replied, a bit nervous. “I was a bit hungry so I thought, maybe I'll go out to the garden and harvest glimmerberries. But I ate all by myself, which is why I don’t have any right now" She lied with a nervous chuckle.
"Oh, I'm just so glad you are back." Izzy told her with a smile, placing a hoof on her shoulder. "I hope you know how welcome you are here! Look!" She said, pointing at the decorations. "Doesn't it remind you so much of our sweet little hometown?" She asked her with a bright smile.
"Uh..." Misty got nervous again as she smiled before replying to Izzy. "Yes! It's like I'm transported back in time." She said, looking around at the decorations with a smile. "It's actually... pretty incredible." She suddenly stopped to stare at Sunny's lantern, with Sunset raising an eye at her why he is interested in Sunny’s lantern all of a sudden.
Later, the mares gathered their sleeping bags in the same order from before.
Izzy got on her bed with a laugh as she held out a lantern while exclaiming. “Hear, hear! I, Izzy Moonbow of the Bridlewood Moonbows hereby start the Unicorn sleepover ceremonies again!” She declared with a smile.
Sunny then smirked as she spoke. “Should we start with another Unicorn song?” She asked knowingly to Izzy.
“I’ll count us in. A five, six, seven, eight!” Pipp called out, but before they started to sing, Izzy spoke.
“Oh, we don’t have to.” Izzy suddenly said.
“We insist!” Sunny called out with a smile as her friends smiled at Izzy as well.
“Yeah, Izzy. It’s for you!” Sunset added with a smile.
“Really?” Izzy happily asked. “Do you know the words to this one?” She asked her friend.
“I mean, we don’t.” Zipp admittedly said on behalf of her and the others.
“But we can definitely try!” Pipp said encouragingly.
“Doesn’t hurt to try something new rather than not try at all.” Sunset added.
“Okay!” Izzy answered as she took a deep breath as she got off her bed as she sang. “Glow your horns and glitter your hooves the Unicorn song! Hug your pony friends and have them sing-a-along!” She sang.
The mares then tried to follow Izzy on her sleepover song again. “Grow some corn and fritter your hooves the Unicorn song! Bug your pony friends and make them smash a gong!” They all sang wrong, clearly not getting the lyrics right since they don’t know it.
However, it ended up in laughs this time as the mares laughed from that mistake as Izzy flopped on the floor in laughter.
“‘Smash a gong!’” Izzy cried out in laughter from that, finding it funny. “I actually love that lyric!” She cheered, earning more laughs from her friends as they were having a good time.
At the end, the mares are sleeping peacefully in their bags. Izzy slept on her bed, Sunset slept next to Sunny, Sunny slept hugging her lantern, Zipp was sleeping peacefully on her bag and Pipp slept next to the other side of Sunny while snoring.
Misty, on the other hand, quietly walked away to Sunny's side of the room and opened the window to talk with Opaline through the Alicorn mirror.
"What took you so long?! Did you find it and found out more information about Sunset?" Opaline asked with a frown.
"I tried Opaline, but this plan has been, well, more difficult than we originally anticipated." Misty explained, while Opaline just rolled her eyes in annoyance. "But don't worry! Though I haven't picked the lantern per se, I have gathered plenty of info about their new magic and some shocking news about Sunset!" She added with a smile, which caught Opaline's attention. "Well, they believe a completely different story about the origin of Equestria. Oh! And they told me all about dragon fire and how it changes Cutie Marks!" She added. "Also, we did a hoof-reading and ate ponycorn and did horn decorating and––" She added, but then Opaline cut her off.
"Hold on, Misty. 'Horn decorating'? 'Ponycorn'? and 'hoof-reading’? Did you have fun with these ponies? " Opaline scolded her.
“No, no. Of course not!” Misty lied, not wanting Opaline to know that she was off track of the mission. “It was strategic hoof-reading for gathering intel!" Misty assured Opaline. “But seriously, have you ever tried ponycorn before? Because it's the best!" She added excitedly, really loving the ponycorns, then quickly corrected herself. "I mean, the best way to trick the ponies into thinking I'm one of their friends!" She assured Opaline. "I'm telling you, they were gabbing, I was grubbing" She added not noticing that Zipp and Sunset woke up a bit sleepy as she then got serious. “But Opaline, I did find out something about Sunset that you should know. And I’m serious about this one.” She said to Opaline, which got her attention at how serious Misty just gotten
“Really? What is it?” Opaline asked in curiosity with a raised eyebrow.
“I just found out that Sunset Shimmer is a pony from Ancient Equestrian times, when Twilight Sparkle and the Guardians of Harmony was around!” Misty pointed out, which made Opaline widen her eyes in shock. “And not only that, but she was actually a friend of THE Twilight Sparkle, your hated enemy that stopped you all those moons ago. That’s why you felt something familiar of her and why she’s an alicorn and mentor to Sunny and the other ponies when she told the true history of Equestria, she’s a Princess of Friendship herself and knows Twilight Sparkle very well because Twilight was her friend, she’s a Guardian of Harmony.” She explained, as Opaline is stunting in shock at this discovery.
“This Sunset Shimmer is a Guardian of Harmony? I thought they were all wiped out years ago.” Opaline said in shock, and a little scared that there is still a Guardian of Harmony, her ancient enemy, still around, and is with Sunny and the others, teaching them the ways of Twilight's lessons and legacy. “Is this true, Misty?” She asked, wanting to make sure she heard right.
“100 percent, Opaline. Sunset said it herself.” Misty answered, confirming Opaline’s question.
“And this is something that needs to be planned out. Keep tricking them and gather more intel while trying to grab that lantern, but don’t let Sunset notice you, if she finds out about our plans since she’s a Guardian of Harmony herself, she could be proven as a threat if she knows about our plans.” Opaline instructed Misty, while also adding to make sure she stays low when Sunset is there, now knowing that she’s a Guardian of Harmony, she could foil their plans if she finds out.
“Don’t worry, Opaline.” Misty said. “We were getting our top secret info that will take us to the next level, Opaline! Promise!" she assured she ended the call.
Even though Sunset and Zipp didn’t hear everything, they did look at Misty with suspicion once again.
“Something’s strange about that Unicorn. But I gotta keep it slow and find out more about her without jumping to conclusions. I gotta find some more information about Misty.” Sunset whispered tiredly to herself, going to have to watch Misty after hearing a bit of what she said, even though it wasn’t enough, it was enough to keep an eye on her to find out more.

Wow at least she's not wrong there was somebody behind her
11415402
Nope, kinda reminds me of Pinkie pie when she random guess right things
Oh i Remember when you got to town izzy and it wasn't the most Pleasant but it worked out in the end
11415407
Yep, bring back memories
11415408
It sure has
Wow just like Pinkie Pie no matter how you run Izzy suddenly show up right in front of you
11415414
Izzy and Pinkie gotta be related in many ways
You know I guess despite how she was treated differently back in bridlewood she can't help but miss her home
11415417
We’ll can’t blame Izzy, she is the only Bridlewood unicorn in the group, besides sunset since she’s from anicent equestria time and was a unicorn before she became an alicorn
If Only They knew the truth about Misty which she's not bad she's just misunderstood that she never really live in bridlewood
11415421
Yeah
Well it's probably because Misty was suspicious even though technically Sparky is right but the only thing is Misty is just misunderstood and being used by a bigger threat
11415424
Yeah, but you gotta admit, that baby dragon is smart
What a great hooftastic chapter, I like it! The next one will be Detective Zipp is on the case of searching the missing lantern.
Maybe Spike never felt threatened from any other ponies and creatures when he was very young dragons usually sense something if there's a problem mostly The Young Ones
Yeah you're getting a little jumpy Misty and doesn't help your situation being all suspicious
You know Misty just got lucky that Izzy try to diffuse the situation despite that Misty is very troubled
11415428
Yep thanks
11415429
That’s true
11415431
Yeah, reminds me of Fluttershy when that happened
She always have a bad time with glitter doesn't she talk about deja vu
11415434
I do, but still surprising on how well Misty did and how lucky Izzy was there to defend her
11415440
Yep, but compare to that last glitter beard that’s an upgrade
11415436
You're welcome
That was completely out of nowhere
11415446
Yep, Izzy is full of surprises in many ways
Wow poor Misty she really don't eat anything like that what the heck did Opaline just basically make her starve or something
11415452
Opaline is many things but she ani’t that cruel
I'm sure Opaline told Misty all the lies that she think those ponies did something wrong
11415454
I’m sure she did but even Opaline needs to detail the original mane 6
What izzy I thought you don't believe in jinxies
11415457
Apparently Izzy trying to keep the tradition
Well I did remember when Rarity got corrupted by Discord she was talking to a diamond AKA a giant boulder
11415460
Yeah but I doubt her friends talked about that again after a second time applejack mentioned it
Yes seriously even Twilight would not go that fast when she goes on the list of Sleepover at least it was a decent speed
11415464
I remember that episode, twilight may be a rule book even at sleepovers, but even she needs to slow down
I would say this is a good idea to set up an alarm system if they don't know who the pony is
11415467
Yep, they didn’t build the Brighthouse without a security system to protect the one thing that brought back magic and ponies together
ooh Hahhahahaha! I thought it was the other way around for a while. I thought she told of why ponies and were serperated and disappeared, but no its just ANOTHER lie from Opaline
(I didn't listen good enough)
11415404
11415470
Everything Misty has been told are lies
Oh my gosh I'm starting to have nostalgia of the first episode of the G4 when Twilight started out and meet Applejack Rarity Pinkie Pie Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash good times 🥲
11415480
Good times indeed
That's a lie Twilight would never do something like that Opaline really poison Misty's mind about Twilight and her friends
11415484
Yeah, that evil alicorn sure filled Misty’s mind with lies
11415485
I probably would say this to Opaline
11415491
Yep
You go to Sunset speak the truth
11415493
Yep, somepony have to say it, and it was the perfect moment for sunset to say it
Yeah I guess that's a fair point I mean Misty is not evil she was just mislead all because of Opaline if they only know what's going on with her they can probably save Misty
