Chapter 1: Visit
Twilight had gotten up rather early that morning, and once she had brushed her mane and tail, she let Spike sleep in for a few minutes and returned to the book of spells she had started on last night. She opened up the large and brown textbook that had gold detailing and removed her red bookmark. It had only been a few minutes when there was a knock at the door, and turning to answer it, she saw a white envelope on the floor.
She used her magic to open it up (not having hands or fingers) and after she read the letter that was inside, she couldn't decide if the feeling inside her heart was excitement or dread. She dropped the letter on the desk she had been working on and ran up the stairs, yelling for Spike to get up.
Fluttershy had been tending to her garden and having a lovely conversation with a squirrel when (quite literally) a little birdie appeared on a branch and gave her a message. Fluttershy could only grin. "I have to tell the girls!" She said, thanking the bird and running off to Twilight's house.
Rainbow Dash had been practicing, flying high circles in the sky and had been since early that day. It was Rainbow Dash who had cleared the skies that had previously been covered by thick threatening black clouds, and when she saw the message in the now-white clouds, she was glad she did.
"Crap!" She shouted, her voice echoing slightly, though she had shouted in anger or fear which was evident from the smile that was on her face.
Rarity had been mending a dark blue, frilly, and elaborate dress with a lot of lace and puffed sleeves when she heard the little voice calling her. Answering her door, she was surprised to see Sweetie Belle standing there.
"Hey sis, guess what!" The little asked, still without her cutie mark. Before Rarity could question what, what Sweetie said next sent Rarity screaming up the stairs in excitement.
Applejack had been tending to her chores, kicking apple trees and pushing the barrels of juicy red apples into the barn with her older brother Macintosh. When she heard her little sister Apple Bloom screaming, she raced to defend her, but was stunned to see a familiar face.
Applejack gave a playful smirk. "Well, howdy there, stranger." She said in her cowgirl accent.
Pinkie Pie was singing to herself "Equestria Girls", and skipped down the sidewalk. She rounded the corner, and her body collided with another. She shook her head to clear the ache that had been caused by the impact. "I'm s-" Before she could finish, she and the other person squealed and they nearly suffocated each other in a great big hug.
Twilight stood by the door, waiting impatiently to hear a knock, and the anticipation was killing her. She tapped her foot, nervously biting on her lip and Spike stood at her side. "Don't worry, Twilight." He said, patting his friend on the mane. "Things are going to be fine." Spike had been surprised by the news and had immediately scrambled out of bed when Twilight told him who would be coming later.
Finally, someone was at the door, and the knocking sound nearly made Twilight's heart stop. She opened the door with her magic, making sure to stand a few feet away when she did to show that she had done so, and forced herself to smile when she saw her older brother standing in the doorway with his assistant Barbara (or Barb) next to him.
"Hey Twilight," He said. "Can I come in?"
Being completely oblivious to what she had set in motion by her answer, she continued with her fake smile and said, "Yes."
