It t'was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville. Rarity trotted through the streets in her yellow sun hat and sunglasses, her messenger bag clinging to her side. Fluttershy appeared, and strided to her friend's side.
"Oh hello, Fluttershy!" Rarity took off her sun glasses. "What are you up to on such a lovely day?"
"Hi, Rarity." Fluttershy said timidly "I'm just going to drop off a letter to Twilight at the post office."
"How funny! I'm actually on my way to do the same!" Rarity said. Fluttershy looked away, her ears laying back against her head, as though she was refraining from saying something. Rarity gave an understanding smile. "I know, darling. I'm so happy for Twilight, becoming a princess! But.. It just isn't the same without her."
Fluttershy nodded in agreement. Rarity was taken aback by fond memories of times shared with her friend. How together, they saved the Apple farm from the cunning Flim Flam brothers, how they sat together laughing at the disaster the Grand Galloping Galla had turned out to be, and how they'd managed to rid Ponyville of the many clones Pinkie Pie had set loose into town. How she missed Twilight!
"At least we get to hear from her in her letters." Fluttershy pointed out.
"Oh, I know. But she's been so busy lately. I mean you'd expect that, her being a princess and all." Rarity looked at the sky with an uncertain smile. "I only hope Princess Celestia isn't working her too hard!"
Rarity and Fluttershy conversated as their route took them to the library Twilight used to live in. They watched curiously as one of the colts that worked at the train station carried a suitcase in his mouth, walking in the direction of Twilight's old treehouse. In front of him, a unicorn with white fur and curly short red hair and a curly red tail carried another suitcase with her magic, red aura glowing around it.
"This is the last one!" said the colt, setting down the suitcase in front of the treehouse.
"Thank you," the unicorn smiled, taking two bits out of her satchel, and giving them to the colt.
"Anytime!" he smiled proudly, marching off with his tip. The unicorn was a little taller than the other ponies, but not by more than an inch or two. She was also a little thinner, with skin colored fur on her mouth and hooves, and she had bright blue eyes. Her cutie mark was of a shooting star, with smaller glitter shaped stars surrounding it. Using her magic, she picked up her suitcases and walked inside.
Rarity and Fluttershy's jaws dropped.
"There's a new pony in town?" Rarity gasped. "And she's moving into Twilight's house?" She grabbed Fluttershy's shoulders, shaking her furiously before running into the treehouse. "Come on, let's go meet her!"
Fluttershy's pupils swirled uncoordinated in her eyes. She shook her head clear. "W-Wait!" She chased after Rarity. The two came to a halt inside the familiar library. The unicorn hadn't seemed to notice them, and was already unpacking her things.
Fluttershy cowered down and gritted her teeth as Rarity cleared her throat and trotted up to the unicorn with her head held high.
"Hello there, darling!" Rarity sang very fancy. The unicorn jolted, her pupils shrinking to dots as all four of her hoofs raised from the floor in surprise. The things she'd been levitating with magic collapsed to the floor abruptly. Rarity went on.
"Don't mind us, dear, we let ourselves in. My name is Rarity," she fluttered her eyelashes, putting her hoof on her chest. She reaches behind her, dragging the shaking Fluttershy up beside her "And this is my good friend Fluttershy."
The unicorn looked a little shaken still. "My name is Starchaser." she said unsurely, lifting back up the things she dropped. She turned back around, continuing to put away her belongings. Fluttershy and Rarity looked at each other, shrugging. Rarity spoke up again.
"So, what brings you to Ponyville, Starchaser?"
Starchaser examined a book and put it away in her bookshelf, and then picked up another book, examining that one as well. "Princess Celestia sent me."
"Princess Celestia!" Rarity squealed, squeezing both of her cheeks with her hooves. She dashed to Starchaser's side. "You know Princess Celestia? That means you're from Canterlot?"
"And that you're friends with Twilight?" Fluttershy walked up to Starchaser's other side, also growing excited. Starchaser turned around, walking in the other direction. She picked up a book from the shelf, looking at the cover and then putting it in a different spot. "Yes. Yes. Sort of."
Rarity sped up to her side, walking beside her. "Oh, I have so many questions!"
"Me too!" Fluttershy flew over to her other side, suddenly less shy.
"How is Twilight?"
"Is Spike doing okay?"
"Did she get that flower piece I sent her?"
"Do you know if she's back from that opening in the Crystal Empire?"
"Are they finished cleaning up after that horrid accident with Hay-butter ice cream?"
After a few more questions, Starchaser looked as though she were about to burst. Before they could ask another question, she was scooting them out the door by her head. "I'm really sorry, ladies, but I've really got to unpack. Let's all chat later though, okay?" she scooted them out, closing the door behind them.
Rarity and Fluttershy looked at each other. What had just happened?
