The crowd cheered for Spike, thundering their hooves. The Crystal Kingdom was saved thanks to Spike, but in Rarity opinions, she and her friends helped too. After all, why was she in the form of crystals?

"Oh, I simply adore this ravishing mane. Oh look how they curl! Look how they shine! Oh let's not forget about my dazzling hooficure… It's-"

"Rarity, we know!" Twilight interrupted her, laughing. "You told us so much that I lost count!"

"Oh Darling, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Rarity sighed, "Let us enjoy it, no?"

"You enjoy it," Rainbow Dash grumbled, "I'd had enough of these glitters! When will it wear off?!"

"It will wear off in a day or so. Girls, why don't we enjoy the fair? I can't wait to see how you set it up!" Twilight said enthusiastically.

"Yeah There's this cotton candy and caramel apples and balloons and a Fuba and face paint and-SQUEE!" Pinkie Pie bounced off to a stall just selling a shirt with a logo saying "Spike's Our Hero!"

"Wow, unbelievable, Spike-wikey already well known here!" Rarity gasped, staring at pinkie as she shook the stallion's hand.

"Got-cha!" Pinkie laughed merrily as he stood there electrified. After seeing the object Pinkie Pie was holding; he then burst out laughing with her. After the stallion attended to another customer, Pinkie Pie rejoined her friends.

Rarity studied the t-shirt. "My goodness, Spikey-wikey had looked so cute! The shirt however is a nightmare! Plain white! No color! Aider! This must be adjusted!" she gasped, flinging herself away from the shirt as it was an infectious disease. Then Rarity stole the shirt and ran towards her room.

"Rarity! Hey, I liked it! Rarity-yyyy!" Pinkie cried, zipping after her.

"What in the tarnation?" Apple jacked demanded as she trotted up to Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

"Where were you?" Twilight said as she jumped.

"Selling mah apples. There's no apple farm in miles around. I've earned enough money for little sugar cube to help her with her talent show, as promised." The cow-mare jiggled her backpack as proof.

"That's alright; let's go find Princess Cadance for the earliest train tomorrow." She reassured her. As soon she headed for the castle...

"Great Celestia! Twilight, an actual joist!" Rainbow Dash yelled excitedly; forcefully grabbing Twilight and Apple Jack as she took flight.

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain Bowwwwwwww!" Twilight screamed.

"Oh Apple Jack! Don't you look éblouissant?! Now if I can take that hat and redo your hair…" Rarity said as she fuzzed over Apple Jack's crystal hair.

"Great Uncle Core! Get ya hooves out of mah mane!" Apple examined, falling off the bench and dropping her apple cider in progress. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie was dragging Fluttershy to the joist.

"Fluttershy, Don't be a scare-dy pony! It's just a joist!" she cheerfully said, dragging the poor pony's tail.

"But-but they hurt each other and-" her whimper was cut off by a loud cheer in the competition. Fluttershy let out a quiet cry and covered her eyes.

"Hold yer hooves!" "Oh Fluttershy!" Applejack and Rarity spoke at the same time, getting down to Fluttershy.

"Pinkie, we got it." Apple Jack informed Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie responded by shaking her head.

"Pinkie, let the poor pony go!" Rarity scolded Pinkie. She got down and hugged her. "It's okay, Sweetie. I'll save you. Don't cry." She whispered. Fluttershy peeked at her timidly.

"Um… okay…"

"Apple Jack, be a dear. Will you please tell Twilight and Rainbow of my leaving?" Rarity asked Apple, who was struggling to break Pinke's grasp.

"Sure," she grunted as she finally broke the party pony's clutch free.

"Come on, Fluttershy, Let's check out the best spa in all Crystal Kingdom!" Rarity squealed, clapping her hooves excitedly.

"Um, okay…" Fluttershy repeated, breaking into a run, with Rarity following her.

None of the Crystal Ponies noticed the two pairs of eyes watching in the distance.
