Prologue: mane 6- The Winter Wrap-Up Crew Gets a Surprise
Princess Twilight got a little more than she bargained for when she checked the weather team's progress. The weather team was making excellent progress, but two mysterious creatures appeared. One had caramel hair streaked with purple. It wore a pink shirt, odd bottoms, and weird red shoes. Suddenly, her bright blue eyes opened and she muttered,"Cmtr?" As it looked at the other, who had a... Coat? A few shades darker than its companion. It had curly hair atop its head and it slowly opened its brown eyes. It wore a blue shirt like the Flim-Flam brothers', and its bottom half had something similar to the other's, but tan, along with slip-on shoes that didn't look formal.
"What the heck?" It groaned, rubbing its head.
"Excuse me. My name is Twilight Sparkle. What are you're names?" Asked Twilight.
"Sadie. Sadie Kane." Muttered the one in pink.
"Carter Kane." Replied the one in blue. He inspected the ponies around him. Sharpnote's red mane and tail, blue music cutie mark, Animal Team vest, intense blue eyes, and purple horn. Snowdust's silver mane and tail tipped in a royal blue, Weather Team vest, wispy snowflake cutie mark, crystal blue eyes, and metallic blue wings. Twilight's indigo mane and tail with a pink and purple streak, blue, green, and tan All Team Organizer, magenta star cutie mark, alicorn wings, horn and purple coat. Rarity's purple curls, diamond cutie mark, sapphire eyes, and white horn. Rainbow Dash's scruffy rainbow coloured mane and tail, tricoloured lightning bolt cutie mark, Pegasus wings, and ruby eyes. Applejack's blond mane and tail tied at the ends with red elastics, forest-coloured eyes, apple cutie mark, and orange coat. Pinkie Pie's dark pink bouncy mane and tail, blue Weather Team vest, balloon cutie mark, sky-coloured eyes, and pink coat. Fluttershy's long pink mane and tail, butterfly cutie mark, feathered wings, aqua eyes, and tan Animal team vest. All of a sudden, Pinkie Pie dashed off in the direction of Sugar Cube Corner.
"What's she doing?" Asked Sadie.
"Don't ask." Groaned Twilight. "She's just being Pinkie Pie."
"So, sh-" Sadie broke off as Pinkie showed up again, still in her Winter Wrap-Up skates, with an extravagant cart.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome,
A fine welcome to you!
Welcome, welcome, welcome
I say how do you do?
Welcome, welcome, welcome,
I say hip, hip, hooray!
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To Ponyville today~! Wait for it!..." We waited a little bit until some confetti flew into our faces and cake batter globbed onto us. "Whoops~! I must've put the confetti in the oven and the cake batter in the confetti cannons-AGAIN!" Pinkie quirked. Carter gaped at her optimism. He must be very pessimistic, thought Twilight. If Pinkie's enthusiasm surprises him. But then again, she is really quirky... Pinkie's voice broke the Princess of Friendship out of her trance. "Oh my gosh! I should make it up to you later! I need..." She rushed off as the lavender Alicorn reminded her that it was still Winter Wrap-Up Day, with little success, and sighed deeply.
"Well, everypony, let's welcome spring."
OoO
After a half hour, Pinkie raced out of Sugar Cube Corner, an envelope in hoof for everypony, and handed them out. Carter and Sadie opened theirs and read through it.
"Come to Sugar Cube Corner @ 8, I have a super-duper-awesome-fun surprise for you... Hm." Twilight instantly knew what the surprise was, but double-checked to be sure. As expected, inside her envelope was a piece of paper with WAY too much glitter on it, but it clearly read "party at Sugar Cube Corner" in blue.

At 8:00, Twilight and her friends guided the pair through the Ponyville streets until the 5 unicorns, 2 pegasi, earth pony and Alicorn arrived at Sugar Cube Corner, and, together, stepped into the local bakery and restaurant.
A loud "SURPRISE!" Was heard across the sweet shop's waiting area. Carter looked on as his blue face broke out into an insane grin.
"This is AMAZING!" Screamed the creature. He proceeded to zip across the store's reception area to the snack table, stuffed his face with junk food, and worked it off on the dance floor.
