Hey guys! Sorry it took so long. My laptop has been acting up. Don't forget this story was requested my retro mania.

"Do you think he'll be alright?" Twilight asked.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Night Moon said.

When the two unicorns walked in, the saw Pinkie frosting cupcakes with Olive, Rarity talking to some other unicorn, and Applejack and Fluttershy talking. Twilight let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Night asked.

"I'm not the biggest fan of parties. I'd rather study constellations." she replied.

"No way, me too! We have a telescope on the roof. Want to go look at some now?"

"Sure!"

The two galloped up the stairs.

As Fluttershy was talking, she felt a little bump on her leg. She looked down and saw a little hedgehog. "Hello there," Fluttershy said. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm so sorry, Miss," she heard from above. Fluttershy looked up and saw a Pegasus carrying a bunch of little critters.

"It's alright," she said. "Do you want some help?"

"If you don't mind."

"Not at all."

Fluttershy picked up the hedgehog and flew up to him. He handed her a few squirrels and made there way outside.

"I'm Quinn, by the way." he said.

"I'm Fluttershy. Where are we taking them?" she asked.

"Just to their homes in the forest."

Applejack noticed the cutie mark on Quinn. After they left, she ran down the hallway to find Twilight. Applejack knew something was up. She wasn't comfortable with this. How can the stallions have their cutie marks? As she ran, she umped into something and her hat flew off her head.

"I'm sorry. Let me get that for you." said the thing she ran into.

After placing it on her head, Applejack saw it was another stallion. Looking at his flank, she saw her apple mark. "Ahhh!" she screamed and ran to the roof.

"Um...OK? I guess I'll see you around?" the stallion said before walking off confused.

Once on the roof, Applejack galloped over to Twilight.

"Twilight, we need to go. Now!" she said.

"Now? But Applejack, we just found a new constellation." Twilight said.

"Yes. I need to talk to ya'll."

"Fine," Twlight grumbled. "See you later, Night Moon."

"Bye Twilight!" he said.

"Oh! We need to get Spike." Twilight said.

"It's OK. He can stay with us. We'll call a friend in the morning. You can come back tomorrow to get him." Night said.

"Alright. Just make sure he's safe."

After gathering everyone and getting back to Twilight's castle, Applejack began to talk. "Alright everyone. Who did you hang out with and what did you do?"

"I was with Fast Cloud and we practiced some flying tricks." explained Rainbow dash.

"I helped Quinn put all the critters to bed." Fluttershy whispered.

"Me and Olive made cupcakes!" Pinkie said jumping up and down.

"Night Moon and I found a new constellation." Twilight explained.

"I met a dashing unicorn named Marcus. We talked about our fashion." Rarity said dreamily.

"And they all had your cutie mark?" AJ asked.

"Yes." they said in unison.

"Twilight, do you have a book on cutie marks?" she asked.

"Sure do! It's right over here." Twilight said, walking over to one of her bookshelves. "Huh, it's not there. Oh well."

Applejack stood wide-eyed and open mouthed. "What?! Twilight, what happened to you?"

"I don't know. I'm just really tired. Why don't we all go to bed?" Twilight said. The ponies all nodded in agreement, except Applejack.

"What? But...I...the...oh, fine. But we're working this out in the morning." She said.

"Nice going, dunderhead."

"What?"

"You forgot to use the spell and now the apple is suspicious."

"Don't worry. I'll use it tomorrow."

"You better."

"Did you guys use it?"

"Yes. We all did. I even made the alicorn trust me with her dragon."

"Excellent. Now we just wait for tomorrow."

"Then we can propose?"

"We'll need a stronger spell, but yes. I think they have all fallen deep in our trance."

I know. I'm not happy with this one either. But whatever. Review!
