CHAPTER ONE: PREPARING FOR THE GALA!

It was a bright sunny day in Ponyville and the Mane Seven were getting ready over at Carousel Boutique, for that very night was the Grand Galloping Gala. At the moment, Pinkie Pie was outside the shop and she was bouncing on a trampoline while Twilight Sparkle was trying to memorize a new spell from a book.

"Ahh!" the pink pony squealed, bouncing up and down. "I… can't… believe… the Grand… Galloping… Gala… is… tonight!"

"Pinkie!" the purple unicorn snapped. "Please stop shouting, I'm trying to concentrate." And she returned her attention to the book.

Rarity came out of her shop to see if the rest of their friends have arrived yet, and she immediately protested when she saw the trampoline. "Pinkie Pie! Stop that right now," she scolded, and her friend stopped bouncing. "It's time to prepare for the Gala, and I refuse to let you put on your new dress when you're all sweaty."

Pouting, Pinkie Pie got off the trampoline and went over to Spike, who was waiting with a red apple. "What's Twilight doing?" she asked.

"She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala," Spike answered, looking forward to seeing the results of the spell.

"Where are the others?" Rarity wondered, fearing that they wouldn't have time to get ready before the Gala. "It's getting late."

At that moment, Applejack arrived with Sunrise Blossom, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. "Hold your horses, girl. We're here."

Twilight Sparkle finished memorizing the spell at the same time and shut the book. "Perfect! I'm ready," she announced.

"For what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Instead of answering, Twilight Sparkle nodded to the baby dragon. "All right, Spike," she said and he set the apple down in front of the ponies.

"An apple! Are we having pie?" Pinkie Pie asked eagerly.

"Shh! Watch!" Spike hissed.

Twilight Sparkle began concentrating, her horn glowing pink, and she hit the apple with a bolt of magic, transforming it into a carriage large enough to carry the group, which exclaimed with delight and approval.

"Awesome!"

"Wow!"

"Lovely!"

"It's perfect, Twi," Sunrise Blossom praised her twin.

The purple unicorn flushed a little. "Thanks," she said. "But that's just the start. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?" she asked the yellow pegasus.

Fluttershy nodded and lowered her head to the ground so that four white mice came running out of her mane. "Yes. Will they be safe, Twilight?" she asked, concerned for their well-being.

"You have my word," Twilight Sparkle promised as her horn glowed again, and with a flash of magic, she transformed the four mice into four white stallions. "Ta-da!" she said, getting more praise from her twin while their friends had mixed reactions. "Neat, huh? And don't worry. They'll be mice again at midnight."

Just then, Opalescence snuck out of the nearby bush and leaped at the nearest stallion, having seen them go from mice to horses, and Fluttershy yelped. "Opalescence, no!" But it was too late! The second that the cat landed on the back of the nearest stallion, it bucked her off, and all four fled into the distance.

"Wait! Come back!" Twilight Sparkle shouted after them, but it was too late, and she sighed, disappointed. "Those horses were supposed to pull our carriage," she complained. "How will we get to the Gala?"

"Whatever shall we do?" Rarity wondered dramatically before approaching four male ponies. "Uh… ahem. Excuse me," she said politely and they looked at her. "Uh, would you boys mind pulling our carriage to the Gala?" she asked, and they agreed.

"Oh," said the purple unicorn, flushing. "Yeah. Right."

Several hours later, the Mane Seven were inside the boutique, where Rarity was busy getting them all ready for the Gala, and poor Spike was trying to convince them to let him inside since he didn't want to wait with the ponies and the carriage.

While her friends were under the dryers to dry their manes after being throughly washed by Rarity, Pinkie Pie was testing one of the dryers by stepping on the button, and she was almost blown away. "Ooh!"

`"Come on, you guys,"` Spike pleaded, banging on the door. `"Let me in!"`

Rainbow Dash, whose mane was wrapped up in a towel, headed to the door. "Sure thing, Spike."

Rarity quickly blocked her way. "Heavens no!" she objected. "We're getting dressed."

"Dressed?" Applejack repeated skeptically. "Uh, beg pardon, Rarity, but, uh… we don't normally wear clothes."

Rarity rolled her eyes and sighed, opening the door to let the baby dragon inside. "I'm sorry, Spike," she apologized, walking away while he seated himself on a nearby couch. "Some of us do have standards."

"I still can't believe we're gonna be at Canterlot tonight," Spike said, excited at the thought. "Our hometown, Twilight! Sunrise! And the best part is that we all get to hang out together all night long!"

"Uh… I-I don't know, Spike," Rainbow Dash said uncertainly while taking her turn under the hair dryer.

Rarity magically applied fake eyelashes to her own eyes. "We'll just have to see."

"We're gonna be a mite busy," Applejack added while polishing Fluttershy's hooves.

"Busy having fun!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, coming out from under the dryer with straight hair, only to have it going boing back into its' normal curly state.

"Oh," said the baby dragon, disappointed. "Okay."

"Don't worry, Spike," Twilight Sparkle reassured him. "We'll all get to spend some time together."

Sunrise Blossom nodded. "Yeah, because we're all going to be together."

"Great!" said Spike and let Rarity get him cleaned up and into a black tuxedo that she'd made for him.

Four hours later, the Mane Seven were inside the carriage and Spike was seated on the front with the four ponies pulling the carriage. "'Cause I planned out my insider's tour of Canterlot," he explained cheerfully. "I've gotta show Rarity the crown jewels, and Applejack the Princess's golden apple tree. And Pinkie, we gotta go to my favorite donut shop." He was so excited that he didn't even notice that the seven ponies hadn't heard a single word as they were busy chatting excitedly inside the carriage. "Then let's get moving! Hyah!" he shouted, whipping the four ponies with the reins.

One of the ponies, named Caramel, snapped at the baby dragon. "Excuse me!?"

Spike flushed. "Um… I…"

Another pony named Lucky Clover glared at him. "If you weren't friends with our neighbor Rarity… Hmph." And after getting an apology from the baby dragon, the four ponies headed for Canterlot, taking the carriage and the Mane Seven with them.

A/N: And the adventure begins. Tomorrow there will be more updates, I promise. Later! ;) R&R everyone!
