Chapter 1
DAY - PONYVILLE
It was a bright, sunny morning in Equestria. Rarity had been up early, working on her newest line of costumes for the Equestria games. Pinkie Pie had come over at Rarity's request, her pink curls bouncing up and down as she waited as patiently as she could. Rarity was finishing up her final costume.
"Pinkie Pie, be a darling and fetch the other ponies for me, will you?"
"Okie Dokie Lokie!" And with that, Pinkie was out the door.
Pinkie Pie skipped all the way to Sweet Apple Acres, and found Applejack lying under an apple tree.
"Applejack, Applejack!" Applejack raised her head, tired from the work she had done earlier.
"Wha?"
"Rarity wants to see you!" Pinkie Pie turned around and started bouncing away to find Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
"When?"
"ASAP!" Pinkie Pie bounced her way through Ponyville and found Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in a clearing.
"Okay, one more time Fluttershy." Fluttershy flapped her wings and raised herself into the air. She did a couple tricks and then came back down.
"How'd I do?"
"Good. Could be better, but it's a start."
"Oh, hi Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy looked around Rainbow Dash to look at Pinkie. Rainbow Dash turned around, having just realized Pinkie was standing behind her.
"Oh, hey Pinkie. What are you doing here?"
"Rarity told me to come and tell you to meet her at the Fashion Boutique."
"Okay. Let's go Flutters." Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flew off towards the Fashion Boutique while Pinkie made her ways towards Twilight's house. As she knocked on the door, a window above her opened and out peered Spike.
"Hey Spike!"
"Hi Pinkie. Are you looking for Twilight?"
"Yeah!"
"She's not here right now. She had a meeting with Princess Celestia."
"Okay! Tell her I said hi!" Pinkie Pie trotted back to the Fashion Boutique, where everypony, except Twilight, was waiting. They were all watching Rarity as she put the finishing touches on her line of costumes. Applejack cleared her throat.
"Well, we're all here Rarity. What was it ya wanted to show us?" At the sound of her voice, Rarity turned around to face the group.
"Excellent! Wait…. Where's Twilight?"
"Oh, Spike said she was at a meeting with Princess Celestia!" Pinkie told them.
DAY – AT A RESTURANT IN CANTERLOT
Twilight and Princess Celestia were sitting at a table, with plates of cake in front of them. Twilight drank some of the liquid from her cup.
'And then I said, "Spike, you're adopted," and he just burst into tears. Best April Foals day ever.' Twilight and Celestia laughed.
"That sounds delightful Twilight! More tea?" Celestia poured Twilight some more tea.
DAY – RARITY'S FASHION BOUTIQUE
Rarity looked disappointed.
"Well that's too bad. Oh well, I can still show you the finished line." Rarity moved out of the way and revealed the line of costumes she had been working on for the Equestria Games, "Ta da!" Her friends just stared at the clothes and then at her. Finally Rainbow Dash spoke up.
"What are these for?"
"The Equestria Games of course!" She smiled at her friends and Rainbow Dash came over to feel the costumes. Rarity stopped her.
"No, not yet. I'm keeping them safe until it's time for the games. I don't want anything happen-" She was interrupted with a wheezing, groaning sort of sound.
"What the hay?!" As the ponies stared, a blue police box materialized in front of them. The door opened and a man stepped out. He started to speak.
"Well this is new…"
