The brightly shinning sky was smiling over the small town know as PonyVille. As the resedense walked around they were enjoying another beautiful day. With a crowd of ponies enjoying a picnic in the warm beautiful sun.
"Today is just georgous!" Rarity exclaimed looking around at the beautiful sceanery. "It is." Fluttershy quietly said taking a bite from her chocolate vanilla cake.
What they didn't know was that a purple baby dragon. Was sneaking behind them. He came out the bushes and came behind Twilight. "Twilight!" He shouted startling her, making her do a spit take of her tea at her friend Rainbow Dash!
"Hey!" She shouted. Twilight coughed. "Sorry Rainbow. Spike what are you doing here?" She asked. "I just came to see how everyone was doing..." He said. "You want to join us don't you?" Applejack said. "Now that you mentoned it. Please?" He got on his knees and begged.
"Come on Twilight. This little darling won't take up much space." Rairity said holding Spike. Spike's face flushed red and had hearts floating in his eyes. "Ok." She agreed.
Spike soon coughed up a letter. Good thing Rairty moved her head in time.
"Huh?" She said. "What is it Sugar cube?" AJ wondered. "This is addressed to Fluttershy." Twilight said looking at her. "Me?"
"Dearest Fluttershy, As you and I both know your birthday is coming up..." She read. "Sooo... Someone sent you a early birthday shout out." Rainbow Dash said taking a nibble of her sandwich.
"And...As I was saying...I've been missing you since you were a child, and I would love it if you would visit me in Canterlot."
"Canterlot?" Pinkie said. "...I would wish to invite you and your friends to my Canterlot Art party tomorrow afternoon. I would like to speak to you about something."
"Canterlot...Art Party...I...I..." Rarity sighed and passed out. Spike walked over and started fanning her. "I look forward to seeing you and your friends. Love you sweetness. Love mother." Twilight finished.
"Mother?" Fluttershy said re-reading the letter. "When the last time you saw her?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's been years. I barely remember what she looked like." She said. "I can't wait to see her."
"What did your mother mean by she wanted to speak to you?" Rairity asked. "Who knows."
Rairity gasped. "I can design new outfits for the souree. I better get started." She ran away from the group.
The ponies were on their way to the art party. "This is the most beautiful souree I've ever seen." Rairity said looking around. Fluttershy looked around looking for her mother. "Do you see her?" Pinkie asked. "Not yet."
"Fluttershy!" They turned around and saw a white pony with the shade of pink like Fluttershy's color wavy hair, blue eyes, and wearing a light green dress with purple heart jewels trailing on the hem of the dress, with a pair of pink glasses. "Mother?"
"Sweetness!" She hugged Fluttershy. "Mother! It's been so long since I've seen you!" Fluttershy hugged back. "Oh. Look how much you grown! Are these your friends?" She said. "Yes. Mother, these are my friends. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rairity, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Jack." She introduced.
"Please to meet you. My name's Madam Crystalrella." Rairity gasped. "Wait. The Madam Crystalrella? As in the most popular singer/model/actress in Esquestria, Crystalrella?!" She said getting closer to her.
"That's me darling." She said. "And you can call me Crystal." Rairity sighed dreamily and fainted. "Sorry. She's a bit dramatic sometimes." Twilight said catching her. "You get used to it when you meet your fans."
Spike came behind Rairity. "Aww, and who is this little bundle of adoriableness?" Crystal asked cuddling to Spike. "I'm Spike ma'am." He answered. "I just can't resist you. You're just the cutest thing I've ever seen." She admired.
Fluttershy smiled knowing her mother was happy to see her again.
After seeing beautiful statues and photos. "Mother, I'm so glad to see you again!" Fluttershy said. "I am too sweetie. And I want to talk to you about something."
"What is it?" She asked. "Listen. I wanted to talk to you about your birthday. You see in our family, during a ponies certin age they will get paired up with a mate." She said.
"What are you saying mother?" Fluttershy was confused. "It's your turn to get paired off with a mate." She said. "A mate?"
"Yes darling. Your granmother went through it, I went through it, and now it's your turn."
"But, I don't think I'm ready for marriage yet." She said looking away. "Don't worry sweetie. You meet a matchmaker, and she'll be able to pair you with a handsome young man for you. Doing this brings honor and good luck to the family. And remember colts wants mares with good taste, calm, obediance, and good breeding."
"Ok mother, whatever you say." She agreed. "Thank you for understanding deary." She hugged her. "I'll let you know when you can see her." Crystal looked away for a second. "I'll meet you later sweetie." She walked towards a group of fans.
Fluttershy walked around thining about her mother's chat. She sighed. Was she really going to be paired up with another pony? How will the girls react to this?
Rainbow Dash ran over to the girls seeing them helping AppleJack and AppleBloom with apple bucking. "Sorry, I'm late girls." She apologized. "I...uh...got caught up with a stunt I was trying to do." Rainbow Dash had a flashback to when she was sleeping in.
"That's ok. Grab a bucket and get ta' buckin'." AppleBloom said giving Rainbow Dash a bucket.
Then AppleJack ran out excited.
"Yee haw! Girls! Girls! I just got a letter from my cousin Braeburn. Him and My Aunt Mable are coming for a visit!" Applejack cheered. "Cousin Braeburn! Whoo hoo!" AppleBloom yelled. "Who?" Rainbow Dash wondered. "My cousin Braeburn. I haven't seen that boy in years! Finally coming from Appleloosa to visit his favorite cousin."
"Hey!" AppleBloom shouted. "Favorite cousins." She corrected. "That's better." She said. "Your cousin sounds like a fine young fellow, Apple Jack. When do we get to meet him?" Rairity asked.
"Whoo hoo!" The ponies heard they saw a colt racing down the hill and then sliding on the ground, crashing into a pile of apples with his hat landing on top. "Hehehe! Now where's my favorite cousins?" He asked shaking off a few apples.
"Cousin Braeburn!" Apple Jack and Bloom ran into him and tackled him into a bear gripped hug. "Hello ladies." He said hugging back. "You both got so grown since the last time I saw you."
"Same here." AppleBloom said. "Who are these girls?" He asked. "Oh these are my friends. Twilight..."
"Hi!"
"Pinkie Pie..."
"I'm so so so excited to meet you!"
"Rairity..."
"Charmed."
"Rainbow Dash..."
"What's up?"
"And Fluttershy."
"Hi..." She quietly said.
"Hi." He said to Fluttershy.
"Boy how many times did I tell you not to run away from me?" They heard a green pony with red hair in a bun, and a black mole on her cheek. "I told you to not run off. But if you meet a girl, let me know if I'll become a grandma." She chuckled.
Braeburn blushed embarassed. "Stop it Ma."
"Aunt Mable!" AppleBloom dashed to her aunt and hugged her. "How is my adoriable niece doing?" She said hugging back.
"Hi Aunt Mable." AppleJack said. "My dear AppleJack. I've missed you and I haven't seen you since you were fillies." She said. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
Mable giggled. "Can't a aunt visit her two nieces and friends?"
"I remember. Granny Smith has been waiting for you both." She said. "Oh good. I can't wait to see how my sister is doing." Her and AppleBloom took their bags and headed inside.
"So what's going on out here?" He asked. "Just buckin some apples for Granny's Smith's famous apple pies." AppleJack said. "I can just taste that pie already!" Rainbow Dash said licking her lips.
"I can buck faster than any other pony around." He gloted. "Please. I can out buck you." She gloated back. "How about we both not make this into a compotition?" Twilight said. "Sorry." They both said.
"Thats right. The more apples the better!" Pinkie Pie said going to buck more. "I can help you if you want." Fluttershy blushed. "Sure." They both began to buck trees with a shade of pink glowing on their cheeks.
