Reviews (Thanks so much for reviewing!)

winxandwarriors - I'm glad you loved it here's the new chapter.

Randomness-sama - That is exactly what I was worried about, I'll make this chapter shorter, this review was really helpful thank you so much.

lunarprincess21 - The translations were really fun to write I'm happy you liked them and are excited for the party, I'm afraid this chapter is even shorter, sorry.

thisisgood - Fireworks and apple pie are exactly what I was thinking, I'm afraid this chapter will be shorter but on the bright side updates will be more frequent. Thank you so much for actually reading my authors notes, you are the first one that has commented about it, and that makes me feel really, really good that you care so much, thank you.

Web2theweb1 - I would prefer not to email people I meet on the internet, nothing personal, but I trust no one. I can assure you that if I would email it to you it would not be before posting it so you would not get the chapter sooner. Also putting your email on the internet for anyone to see is dangerous so please don't do it again, for your safety.


If you don't know what Connect Four is it is a board game about strategy. I'm not sure if it is only an American thing so I thought I would just say that right here.


Don't be mad, there is a major time jump in about the middle of the story, you have been warned.


Fans - Black fans with colored jewels on one side.

Rainbow Dash - Silver

Applejack - Red

Twilight - Dark blue

Pinkie Pie - Pale pink

Flam and Applejack sat side by side at the table in the conference room while Big Mac wrote a math problem on the board and Flim gave them both a piece of paper and a pencil. Flam rolled his eyes and raised his hoof, "Seven." Applejack sighed and crossed out the equation she was writing.


"What is the correct form of there in this statement?" asked Flim pointing to a sentence he wrote on the board.

"What does it matter of you aren't writing it?" Flam questioned.


Applebloom

*Sighs*


"I haven't written anything in like four months," Applejack admitted.

"Now I understand how my uncle felt teaching us to read," Flim sighed to Big Mac.


"Okay now on to Science, Why are plants green?" Flim questioned, Applejack's hoof shot into the air.

"The pigment chleraphyll which turns light into food," Applejack answered.


Flam

I almost don't even know what she's saying half the time, good thing Flim does.


"You mean chlorophyll?" asked Flim.

"That's what I said," Applejack responded.


Applebloom and Babs stood by the board while Flim and Big Mac sat in the corner of the room. "We came up with questions about friendship, and Flim and Big Mac will judge your answers on a scale from one to ten," Applebloom explained.

"Wait aren't you one of the Masters of Friendship? This isn't fair," Flam complained.

"Like I know anything about Math, Science, and Grammar?" asked Applejack.

"Fair point," Flam agreed.


Flam

We should do a pronunciation challenge, I could totally beat her at that.


"Let's get the question about honesty out of the way," Babs suggested.

"Say you are really good at something and our friend is really bad at it but they think they are really good at it, do you tell them?" asked Applebloom.

"I wouldn't tell them unless they were going to get in trouble with it or hurt," Flam answered.


Big Mac and Flim

4,

Lame

3,

Lame answer from Flam.


"I would try and convince them that they are good at things they are actually good at and hope they forget about it," Applejack answered.


Big Mac and Flim

7,

Better, still lame.

8,

Lame answer not from Flam.


"What's the best way to make a friend laugh?" asked Babs.

"Apple puns," Applejack answered.


Big Mac and Flim

Eeeyup, puns.

No puns.


"Fart noises," Flam answered. Applejack burst into laughter followed by everyone else.


Big Mac and Flim

"There is two of you and one cookie left what do you do?" asked Applebloom.

"Split it," Applejack answered.

"Same," Flam agreed.

"Your friend scrapes their knee what do you do?" asked Babs.

"Ask if they are okay," Applejack answered.


Big Mac and Flim

8,

Alright.

Makes sense.


"Give them a bandage," Flam answered.


Flim and Big Mac

8,

Alright.

9,

Makes sense.


"All your friends want to do something that one of your friends doesn't know how to do, what do you do?" asked Applebloom.

"Do something else," Flam answered.


Flim and Big Mac

7,

Are you bored?

Eeeyup.


"Teach them how to do the thing," Applejack answered.


Big Mac and Flim

"Who do you ask about unknown magical stuff?" asked Babs.

"Zecora," Applejack answered.

"A book," Flam answered.

"While they add up the scores we'll judge the singing and dancing competition," Applebloom announced.


A bit later Flim and Big Mac walked into the living room to see Applebloom, Babs, Applejack, and Flam singing and dancing to Taylor Swifts Bad Blood. "Hey! I can't take it back, look where I'm at!" Big Mac started to rap as Flim rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen.


The competition was forgotten as they danced and sang along to Taylor Swift. Applejack went into the kitchen were Flim was cleaning dishes singing quietly,

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane

Applejack walked up to the sink, Flim passed her the dish he was washing, Applejack grabbed a dry towel and started drying it as they sang in unison.

'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Big Mac, Flam, Applebloom, and Babs all were watching from the door. "Their voices sound so good together," Applebloom commented.

"Eeeyup," Big Mac, Flam, and Babs agreed.


Twilight lay on the balcony with her head between two of the railing pillars watching the contractor ponies digging below as Flash paced back and forth behind her. "Flash could you please stop pacing?" asked Twilight.

"Could you get away from the railing, it's not safe," Flash complained.

"You're joking right?" Twilight laughed.

"No seriously, if you fall I'm gonna have to catch you," Flash warned.


Twilight

As much as we don't have a normal guard staff Flash takes his job very seriously.


"Um, wings?" Twilight pointed out.

"Um, princess, guard?" Flash reminded. Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes.


Applejack and Flim were clearing the table when Applebloom and Babs walked in. "Applejack, Flim?" Applebloom greeted.

"Yes, sugar cube?" Applejack answered.

"Can Babs cut my mane?" asked Applebloom.

Applejack sighed and looked at Flim, "What do you think?"

"Do what you want with your mane before you have to try and get a job," Flim answered.

Applebloom and Babs cheered and hoof bumped, "Thanks!" Applebloom hugged them before running out the door.


Applejack

Yeah, thanks Flim.


"Don't use Mac's razor!" Applejack called after them, "I feel like that was a mistake."

"I know a spell that can make it grow back," Flim assured.

"Fine," Applejack sighed.


Princess Celestia sat in a chariot flown over Ponyville and touched down just outside the castle of Princess Twilight Sparkle. The two chariot pegasi took the positions of Emerald Waters and Little Dot as they escorted Celestia inside Spike passed them on the way to the throne room. "I'm going to get the others Twilight and Flash are waking Lucky Star and Shadow Blade," Spike explained.


Twilight

Celestia's here I'm so excited.


"Alright Spike, it's nice to see you," Celestia greeted.

"You too," Spike called walking away.


Flash knocked on Shadow Blade's door, "Hey Shadow, Princess Celestia's here, get ready and come to the throne room."

Twilight went to Lucky Stars room, "Rise and shine Lucky! We'll be in the throne room when you're ready!"


Emerald Waters, Little Dot, Lucky Star, and Shadow Blade

If Flash and Twilight are our parents whose a Mamma's boy?

*Little Dot, Lucky Star, and Shadow Blade raised their hooves*

Yeah, me too.


Twilight walked to her room to get her crown off the night stand as Flash stood in the door way, "We have very different parenting styles."

"Oh, absolutely," Twilight agreed.


Spike walked up to Rarity's boutique as Rainbow Dash flew over him, "Hey Spike, what's up?"

"Celestia's here, can you go get Fluttershy?" asked Spike.


Fluttershy

It's very rare that the Princess comes to Ponyville so it is important that her visit is a priority.


"Sure, I'll stop by and tell Pinkie to get Applejack," Rainbow Dash flew off.

"Thanks!" Spike called after her.


Pinkie Pie viciously knocked on the farm house door. Applejack answered it, "Howdy Pinkie, what brings you here?"

"Celestia's here, we gotta go!" Pinkie Pie announced jumping up and down.


Flam

The Princess is here and they are just now leaving, aren't there rules against that?


"Okay, Flim, I'm heading to Twilight's," Applejack called.

"Be back before dinner," Flim called back, Applejack closed the door as she and Pinkie Pie ran off.


Trenderhoof, Rarity and Spike stood at the door of the throne room breathing heavily from their run. "Okay, Trenderhoof, you're about to meet the ruler of Equestria, don't be nervous, and make a good first impression," Rarity reminded as they opened the doors and entered. Princess Celestia sat on a cushion next to Twilight's throne where Twilight sat with Flash standing next to her, the other guards stood at attention between the other thrones. Spike and Rarity walked to their thrones and Trenderhoof stood behind Rarity still able to see Celestia. "So lovely to see you princess," Rarity greeted.

"You as well Rarity, nice to meet you, Trenderhoof," Celestia smiled.


Trenderhoof

I guess Princesses aren't that big a deal with Twilight around, I've never even seen her wear her crown.


"The pleasure is mine, Princess," Trenderhoof bowed respectfully as Rainbow Dash burst in carrying Fluttershy.

"Hello, Princess Celestia," Fluttershy bowed as Rainbow Dash set Fluttershy on her throne and flew over to her own.

Suddenly Pinkie Pie and Applejack burst into the room and jumped into their seats. "Sorry for being late," Applejack panted.


Soarin'

Why can't the Wonderbolts meetings with the Princesses be this unprofessional?


"Quite alright, we wouldn't have started without you," Celestia smiled.

Pinkie Pie leaned over and whispered to Lucky Star, "Which one of us came in first?"

"Applejack came in first but you beat her to your throne," Lucky Star whispered back.

"Yes!" Pinkie Pie cheered quietly.


After the meeting Celestia left and the guards went back to their posts. The mane six, Spike, Flash, and Trenderhoof stayed in the throne room. Rarity pulled a bag from beside her throne onto her lap, "I made fans to match all of our dresses, Spike be a dear." Spike helped Rarity pass out the fans.


Flash

*Tries to open fan and ends up dropped it* I don't get it.


"I challenge you Lady Apple," Rainbow Dash stood up and pointed her fan at Applejack.

"A challenge you will soon regret Miss Dash," Applejack stood and they began to sword fight with their fans.

"I'll teach you how to open it if you pay attention," Rarity huffed.

Applejack turned to Rarity and opened her fan with a rush of wind, "What makes you think I don't know how to do this?"


Applejack

I learned that from my Aunt Orange way back when I was very young.


"Rainbow doesn't," Pinkie Pie pointed out.

Rainbow Dash opened her fan slowly in a less fluid motion than Applejack did but it still made a wind rushing noise, "Okay that was pretty cool."

"Practice makes permanent," Twilight reminded.


Applejack walked into the farm house to see Granny Smith in her chair, Babs, Big Mac, and Flam sitting on the couch eating pizza, watching Flim and Applebloom lay on the floor on opposite sides of a Connect Four game. "Whose winning," asked Applejack as she entered the kitchen and got some pizza.

"It's important not to think that way," Applebloom and Flim answered in unison.

"Alrighty then," Applejack came back into the room and sat on the couch by Flam.

"I'm playing winner," Babs announced.

Applebloom dropped a piece into the board, "Which is me."


Flim

Apparently I am not smarter than a 5th grader.


"Permission to flip the board?" asked Flim as Applebloom smirked at him.

"Permission granted," Big Mac answered.

"Permission co-granted," Flam added. Flim flipped the board into the middle of the room and switched seats with Babs. "I'll play winner."


Applebloom groaned and fell over as Flam sat staring at the board, "Just go."

"I'm thinking," Flam answered before making a move, "I'm sorry."

"Any move I make you're going to win," Applebloom realized before flipping the board.

"Flam, she's 9," Applejack laughed.

That doesn't mean she can't be challenged to the fullest of her potential," Flam shrugged as Applejack sat across from him.


Flim

I hope no one realizes I was trying to do that.


"Flam," Flam looked at Applejack, "You are a giant nerd." Everyone started laughing.

"Element of brutal honesty," Flam joked making everyone laugh harder.


"You're just trying to make it impossible for me to win," Flam realized.

"Is that not how you play?" asked Applejack turning her head to the side.

Flam opened his mouth and then closed it again and sighed, "Flim, just help her."


"I can't believe it, that's the 5th time," Flam complained as he sat side by side with Big Mac across from Flim and Applejack, Babs, Applebloom, and Granny Smith had already gone to bed.

"Okay, we'll actually try to have a winner this time," Flim laughed.


Flim and Applejack sat staring at the board with their heads together. "Does that help you think?" asked Big Mac.

"Yes," Flim answered as Applejack laughed.

"Are you mentally communicating?" asked Flam.


Flim and Applejack

As I twin I have the ability to mentally communicate with my brother, putting my head to Applejack's we can imitate a similar communication.

Nah, we're just messing with our brothers.

Younger siblings, what can you do.


"Yes," Applejack answered as Flim made a move, "I told him to do that."

Babs and Applebloom ran down stairs and sat with them. "I thought you girls already went to bed," Applejack spoke.

"Nope I cut her hair," Babs announced.

"It doesn't look any different," Flim commented.


Rarity

*Eye roll* Colts.


"Are you kidding? The split ends are gone and her bangs are laying a different way, Applejack you know what I'm talking about right?" Flam questioned.


Rarity

See, he gets it.


"Absolutely not," said Applejack shaking her head.


The next morning the Apple family and the other CMC went to the train station to see Babs off. "We'll have to get together real soon," Sweetie Bell announced.

"Maybe you guys could come to Manehattan later this summer," Babs suggested. The fillies gasped and turned to Applejack.


Applejack

This is gonna be a long summer.


"We'll see," Applejack answered making the fillies scream and jump for joy.


The next day Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich were coloring in coloring books on the floor when Cheese's cheesy sense went off. "There's a rock farm in serious need of a birthday party," Cheese Sandwich announced.

"That'll be my sister Maud, she shares a birthday with Celestia so I can't visit her tomorrow," Pinkie Pie explained sadly.

"Well we can't have that," Cheese Sandwich announced jumping to his hooves spilling crayons everywhere, "Fear not Miss Pie, I shall travel to your family's rock farm and throw your sister a wonderful party, planned by a super duper party pony!"


Fluttershy

It's so nice of Cheese Sandwich to throw a party for Maud to make Pinkie Pie happy.


"Really? That's great, my sister is a little picky, here's a list of things she likes!" Pinkie Pie gave him a folder before a quick hug.

Cheese Sandwich picked up his hat and Boneless 2, "Come on Boneless 2, let's ride."


Granny Smith, Big Mac, Applebloom, Flim, and Flam sat around the table eating Ramen noodles as Applejack walked in, "Alright I'll see ya'll when I get back and before I head to the station and then Twilights."

"Can I go to see Rainbow Dash off?" asked Applebloom.

"Scoodaloo and Sweetie Bell are going," Flim added.

"Well, since you think she should go why don't you walk her home?" asked Applejack.


Applejack

If Flim wants to let Applebloom do what she wants he's going to have to supervise.


"I will," Flim challenged.

"Bye!" Applejack bid walking towards the door.

"Tell Trenderhoof I say hi!" Flim called after her.

"Can do!" Applejack called back as the door closed behind her.

They all sat for a minute looking at each other, Flam stood up, and looked out the window, "Okay, she's gone." Big Mac got up, grabbed a giant bag of candy from the cupboard, and set it on the table.


Twilight, Flash, and Spike walked out of the castle to head to Rarity's, "Make sure you guys are at Rarity's with enough time to get ready," Twilight reminded.

"And make sure you lock the doors, Shadow Blade has the key," Flash added.

"We got it, don't worry, we'll be there in an hour or two," Emerald Waters assured as they walked away.


Flash

I think they are up to something, but I really don't care what.


"I thought we were going to talk about the plan to get Flash and Twilight together while making Flash look good to Captain Shining Armor?" Little Dot spoke confused as soon as Flash and Twilight were out of ear shot.

"We are, let's go," Emerald Waters and Little Dot went inside when Flash and Twilight were out of sight.


At Rarity's boutique Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie sat talking with tin foil wrapped in their manes, Rainbow Dash was taking a nap on a fainting couch, and Rarity was blow-drying her mane with light blue, magenta, and yellow in it. Twilight, Flash and Spike came in and Rarity turned the blow-dryer off, "Twilight come so I can put your dye in, I just hope it doesn't clash with your crown."

"I don't think it matters because I forgot it at home," Twilight grinned sheepishly.


Princess Luna

The Princess of Organization everypony!


"I'll go get it!" Spike called as he ran out the door.

"Why thank you Spikey-Wikey! Oh Pinkie Pie, what was that you were saying about Cheese Sandwich?" asked Rarity as she put pale yellow and hot pink in Twilight's hair and wrapped the dyed hair in tin foil.

"Well, since I'll be missing Maud's birthday Cheesy went to my family's rock farm to throw her a party," Pinkie Pie explained.


CMC

Awwww!


"Awww, that's kinda sweet," Flash commented.

"Flash, should we do something with your mane?" asked Rarity.

"Um, no thank you," Flash politely refused.

"Come, take off your helmet," Rarity instructed, Flash sighed and did what she said. "We could put the same yellow stripes as Twilight's mane in yours and I have some of Twilight's naturel dark blue we could add on the tips."


Spike

That actually sounds kinda cool.


"I'm not getting out of this, am I?" asked Flash.

Rarity shook her head, "Nope, sit." Applejack walked in and giggled at Flash getting tin foil and dye in his mane, "Applejack, you are not helping."

"Sorry, I just didn't know you were going to rope him into this too," Applejack smiled.

"You're just jealous because my hair is softer than yours," Flash joked.


Lucky Star

Finest hair in the Royal Guard.


"It is very nice," Rarity commented, "Now go sit this the girls." Rainbow Dash woke up, as she sat up Flash sat next to her daring her to say something. Rainbow Dash started laughing and fell off the couch making Flash smile.

"So, what are you doing with Rainbow Dash's mane?" asked Flash as Rarity rinsed Fluttershy's mane now with teal, baby blue, lavender, dull pink, and orange.

"Well I'm going to style all the girls hair with glitter hair spray and Rainbow Dash's will be ratted up," Rarity explained as she rinsed the sky blue, dull orange, and pale yellow in Pinkie Pie's mane, Flash and Rainbow Dash gave her blank stares.

"Big and sparkly," Twilight explained.

"Oh," Flash and Rainbow Dash spoke in unison.


Flash

I always have my fancy word translator with me, it's kinda my job.


"Applejack, are you going to let Applebloom come to see Rainbow Dash off?" asked Rarity as she put pale pink and fire red in her mane.

"Well, apparently Flim already said she could, so she's his responsibility," Applejack answered.

Trenderhoof came in and sat with Flash and Rainbow Dash, "Flash, you're getting your mane colored too? To match Twilight's I'm guessing?" Trenderhoof questioned.

"Yellow and darker blue on the tips," Rarity explained before she blow-dried Fluttershy's mane followed by Pinkie Pie's. "That reminds me, will I have to do anything with the other guard's manes?"

"Emerald Waters and Lucky Star's manes are quite unmanageable," Twilight answered as Rarity rinsed her hair.


Emerald Waters and Lucky Star

It wants to be messy.

It wants to be neat.

And there's nothing we can do about it.


"Shadow Blade would keep trying to escape and then mess it up when your back is turned, but Little Dot will probably sit still," Flash added.


Shadow Blade and Little Dot

I will fight till the death.

I do what I'm told, it makes me feel good.


Flash and Twilight

*Hoof bump*

We know our kids so well.

Yes we do.


"I'll make them brush it at least," Rarity stated as she rinsed Applejack's mane then blow-dried Twilight's.

"Those of you who are done, what do you think of your hair?" asked Trenderhoof opening his note book.

"Best idea I've had all week, well, the week I came up with the idea, I've been planning this night for a really long time," said Rarity blow-drying Applejack's mane.


Shadow Blade

Never mind, she gets a little too excited about everything.


"It's so pretty, I was nervous at first but I really love it," said Fluttershy.

"Hair dye is amazing!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"I can't wait to see what my brother says," said Twilight. Rarity finished blow-drying Applejack's mane and started rinsing Flash's.

"I think it's cool, I like it a lot," said Applejack as Rarity started to blow-dry Flash's mane and the other guards came into the boutique.


Flash

*Closes eyes, hangs head, and whines*


"And if you look to your left you will see our fearless leader," Emerald Waters smirked as the other guards laughed.

"He's pretending to be the date of the newest princess and will be spending the evening with her and her royal family? And you're mocking him for his hair?" Applejack pointed out making the laughing stallions' hush-up.

"Everyone go get dressed while I do Rainbow Dash's mane, after that I'll do Little Dot's mane and then the other guards will need to at least brush theirs," Rarity directed.


Little Dot let out a small yelp when Rarity ran a comb through his mane, "I'm sorry darling, I'm really trying to be gentle, now close your eyes and hold your breath," Rarity spoke picking up a can of hair spray and spraying it onto Little Dot's mane now neatly brushed out of his eyes.

"Fluttershy, did you braid Applejack's mane?" asked Rarity.


Rarity

I'm so thankful to Fluttershy for helping me with the manes, she is very talented.


"Yes, plus I straightened her bangs and also curled Twilight's mane!" Fluttershy reported, Applejack and Twilight sat behind her, Applejack with twin braids and bangs flattened over one eye and Twilight with ringlet curls.

"Fantastic, come straighten mine and Pinkie Pie I'll pin yours up," Rarity instructed as Spike came in with Twilight's crown.

"I got your crown, Twilight!" Spike announced.

"Thank you Spike," said Twilight as she levitated her crown onto her head.


The train was pulling out other station while the mane six, Spike, the guards, and Trenderhoof took up an entire car. Shadow Blade and Lucky star sat on one bench while Emerald Waters and Little Dot sat across from them.

"Shadow Blade can you help me?" asked Lucky Star with his tie not yet tied.

"I don't think you want my hooves by your neck," Shadow Blade warned.

"Never mind, I'll ask Flash," Lucky Star squeaked and walked towards Flash as Spike came and took his seat.


Emerald Waters

We decided to let Spike in on the plan because he would know Twilight and Captain Shining Armor better than we would.


"Okay I have an idea," Spike spoke quietly. Lucky Star saw that Spike had taken his seat, looking around he found an empty seat next to Rarity but decided against it, then he noticed Trenderhoof sitting alone writing in his note book.

Lucky Star sat down next to Trenderhoof, "Hey, how are you doing?"

"I'm good, what brings you here?" asked Trenderhoof.

"Can you keep a secret?" Lucky Star questioned.


Lucky Star

If we let Trenderhoof in on the plan he can assess the situation from an outsider's stand point and tell us if we are being too obvious.


"Sure, what's one more?" Trenderhoof joked.

"The other guards, Spike, and I are going to try and get Flash and Twilight together," Lucky Star whispered.

"Oh my, that's exciting anything I can do to help?" asked Trenderhoof.


Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack sat watching Trenderhoof and Lucky Star talk in hushed voices. "Hey Applejack, why don't you go join their blonde party," Rainbow Dash joked.

"It wouldn't be a party till I joined," Applejack joked back elbowing Rainbow Dash as Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy laugh.


The train pulled into the station and they began the walk to the castle. Rainbow Dash flew into the air to see up ahead. "Rainbow Dash, please come down, the wind will mess up your mane," Rarity called.

"I thought it was suppost to look wind swept?" Rainbow Dash questioned as she landed between her and Twilight.


Rainbow Dash

Walking is so hard.


"Yes, and actual wind won't help," Rarity explained. Suddenly a carriage drove up the road behind them, passed the group, and slowed to a stop. Everypony noticed this and Flash started waking closer to Twilight. Lucky Star elbowed Little Dot and pointed at Flash.


Lucky Star

Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.


The group had passed the carriage when the door opened and none other than Prince Blueblood stepped out. "Excuse me," Blueblood approached Fluttershy making everyone stop and stare, "I couldn't help but notice you are strikingly beautiful and it wouldn't be fit for a lady, such as yourself, to walk such a long distance."

"Oh, that's okay, I really don't mind walking, I have my friends to keep me company," Fluttershy spoke softly.

"You must not recognize me, my name is Prince Blueblood, and you are?" asked Blueblood.

"Oh I recognized you, you were very rude to my friend Rarity at the gala," Fluttershy announced.

"I'm willing to bet she isn't a fraction the amount of company you are," Rarity gasped and started to stomp towards Blueblood when Twilight stood between them.


Emerald Waters

Oh snap!


"Rarity, don't do it, look at your hooves, he's not worth messing them up," Twilight reminded.

Rarity looked at her hoof and sighed, "They are pretty."

"I'll see you at the party Miss..." Blueblood trailed off as he walked towards his carriage.

"Fluttershy," Fluttershy answered politely.


Fluttershy

Well I don't want to be rude, but I do want him to leave.


"Fluttershy," Blueblood repeated as he stepped into the carriage and it sped off.

"We'll this isn't going to end well," Applejack commented as they all continued walking.


When they reached the castle they were greeted by Princess Luna, "Hello guests, it is so good to see you."

"Hi Luna, is my brother here?" asked Twilight.

"He and Cadence arrived last night I think they came down a few hours ago when your parents came," Luna answered.

Twilight stared in shock, "My parents are here?"


Flash

And I got my mane did.


"Oh, I fear I ruined the surprise, have fun," Luna called as the group followed an excited Twilight into the ball room.


Cliffhanger! Hope you liked it! If you actually read this, and the previous, authors note tell me how you celebrated the fourth of July in a review.
