[FRIENDSHIP SAGA] Chapter 5: One Ticket, Five Mares: The Ticket Master

Goku, Vegeta, Twilight and Spike are at Sweet Apple Acres, helping out Applejack with harvesting apples. While it certainly did take faster than anticipated, considering the saiyan's speed and strength, they manage to finish the job within a few short minutes. As of now, all of them are heading to the barn to store all the collected apples. Twilight and Applejack are carrying two baskets filled with apples, one on each side, while the saiyans were pushing a cart loaded with various apples. Spike, on the other hand, is minding his own business, picking an apple.

'No. Nope. Nope'- Spike said while checking through the apples.

'I thank you guys kindly for helping me out. I bet Big McIntosh I could get all these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime. If I win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup Street in one of granny's girdles.' said Applejack.

'No problem at all, Applejack. I'm glad the goal is lunchtime. All this hard work is making me hungry.' said Twilight.

'I know, right?' said Spike. The others gave him a mean stare.

'You didn't do anything Spike. You were just lounging onto Twilight's back while we all work' said Goku

'Exactly. You guys are taking so long, I missed snack-time.' said Spike. All of their stomachs growled.

'Eh, I guess we better get some food.' said Twilight while laughing nervously.

'Nope. Worm. A-ha!' said Spike as he went through more apples until he came upon a good-looking apple.

'Oh Spike, that looks delicious.' said Twilight.

Spike then devoured that apple. 'Spike.'

'What?' Spike questioned the purple mare. Suddenly, he burped out a scroll in which Vegeta caught it in his hands.

'It's a letter from Princess Celestia.' said Twilight.

'What does it say?' asked Goku

The Saiyan prince then gives the letter to Spike. He opens it up, clearing his voice and reads the message out loud.

'Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce The Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest.' Said Spike as he read the invitation. Applejack and Twilight both gasp.

'The Grand Galloping Gala!' shouted the two mares.

The two saiyans simply stood there, dumbfounded about what's all the fuss.

'Woo-hoo!' said Applejack. Spike sticked out his tongue like he was gagging but he then burped out two tickets.

'Look, two tickets.' said Spike.

'Wow, great! I've never been to the gala. Have you, Spike?' said Twilight.

'No, and I plan to keep it that way. I don't want any of that girly frilly frou-frou nonsense.' said Spike.

'Wait a minute, just what is a Grand Galloping Gala?' asked Goku while scratching his head

'I'll tell you what it is, a pathetic tea party of some sort' said Vegeta as he crosses his arms and looking away feeling unamused

'It's not that, Vegeta. It's a royal party held in Canterlot every year. It's where a bunch of ponies come to attend and only the most famous are ever invited.' said Twilight.

'So basically, only famous ponies are invited to the party?' said Goku

'Well, yes. Besides, a dance would be nice.'

'Nice? It's a heap good more than just nice. I'd love to go.' said Applejack.

Applejack then starts to visualize herself in the said event. There in Canterlot, rich ponies are filling up a line that leads straight to her apple stand, in which she is selling her apples freshly harvested from the farm.

...Land sakes, if I had an apple stand set up, ponies would be chowin' our tasty vittles till the cows came home. Do you have any idea how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of fixin' up 'round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and Big McIntosh could replace that saggy old plow, and Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip.

The moment her apples were sold, the barn is fixed, Big McIntosh's plow is fixed, and Granny Smith's hip is fixed.

'...Why, I'd give my left leg to go to that gala.' said Applejack.

'Oh, well in that case, would you like to-' said Twilight until a certain Pegasus crashes onto Twilight full throttle.

'Ugh. Are we talking about The Grand Galloping Gala?' said Rainbow Dash as she got up.

'Rainbow Dash, you told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples. What were you busy doing, spyin'?' said Applejack.

'No, I was busy napping, and I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket?' said Rainbow Dash.

The saiyans notice a pillow and a blanket onto a branch on a nearby tree.

'Yeah, but-' said Twilight until she was cut off.

'YES! This is so awesome. The Wonderbolts perform at The Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now.' said Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash then starts to visuals herself into the Grand Galloping Gala. A rally is taking place with the Wonderbolts watching.

...Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on The Wonderbolts, but then in would fly Rainbow Dash!

The audience gasps by the Pegasus's appearance.

I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut.

Rainbow Dash performs an awesome performance. The audience cheers for the performance.

Then, I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash. And for my grand finale, The Buccaneer Blaze!

The Wonderbolts' mouths drop after seeing the Buccaneer Blaze.

The ponies would go wild!

Sure enough, the audience did go nuts for this performance.

The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves be incorporated into their routine, and then welcome me as their newest member.

Finally, the Wonderbolts put her in as an official Wonderbolt member

'...Don't you see, Twilight? This could be my one chance to show 'em my stuff. You gotta take me!' said Rainbow Dash.

'Hold on just one pony pickin' minute here. I asked for that ticket first.' said Applejack.

'So? That doesn't mean you own it.' said Rainbow Dash as she and Applejack were face-to-face.

'Oh, yeah? Well I challenge you to a hoof-wrestle. Winner gets the ticket.' said Applejack. They both try to hoof-wrestle but Twilight stops this contest.

'Girls, these are my tickets, I'll decide who gets it, thank you very much. Whoever has the best reason to go should get the ticket, don't you think?' said Twilight.

'Drummin' up business for the farm?' said Applejack.

'A chance to audition for The Wonderbolts?' said Rainbow Dash.

'Money t' fix granny's hip.'

'Living the dream.'

'Oh my, those were all pretty good reasons, aren't they?' said Twilight.

'Why don't we all settle this, the Saiyan way.' Said Vegeta in which caught Rainbow Dash and Applejack's attention, peaked with curiosity, 'You two should begin a duel, whoever knocks outs first will lose. Winner shall take the ticket. Fair and easy enough?'

'Uh, I don't think that's gonna happen Vegeta. Maybe they could settle this in another way?' said Goku

Suddenly, Twilight's stomach growls, begging for food. 'Listen to that, I am starving. I don't know about you, but I can't make important decisions on an empty stomach, so I'll, uh, think about it over lunch and get back to you two, okay?' Twilight darts towards Ponyville.

Vegeta follows Twilight, leaving Goku, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. All of a sudden, both two mares continue their hoof-wrestle. The Saiyan seems to be having a lot of fun spectating the heating battle. A strength versus speed kind of battle.

Meanwhile in Ponyville…

Twilight, Vegeta and Spike are walking through town. Twilight is having a little bit of dilemma, un able to decide who to give the spare ticket.

'So little mare, who do you wish to give the spare ticket?' said Vegeta

'I don't know Vegeta, but I really can't think straight when I'm hungry.' said Twilight.

'And off to a restaurant it is'

Unexpectedly, Pinkie Pie crashes into Twilight and Spike.

'Gah! Bats! Bats on my face! Help!' said Pinkie Pie as she was overreacting about the tickets on her face thinking that they are bats, but she calms down long enough to see what they really are. 'Wait, these aren't... tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala? It's the most amazing incredible tremendous super-fun wonderful terrifically humongous party in all of Equestria! I've always always always wanted to go!'

'Oh great, another song…' said Vegeta before covering his ears

Pinkie then visualizes herself in the Grand Galloping Gala with her song. The place itself is covered with her usual party throwing regime which consists some streamers, balloons, kazoos, party harts, and course, the place is filled with rich ponies who seems to be having a lot of fun. Once she is done, the prince unplugs his ears, satisfied that the mare is no longer singing.

'Oh, thank you Twilight, it's the most wonderful-est gift ever.' Said Pinkie Pie.

'Um, actually'- said Twilight until they hear a gasp.

'Are these what I think they are?' asked Rarity.

'Why am I getting a feeling that all of these are meant to happen?!' asked Vegeta

'Uh'- said Twilight.

'Yes, yes, yes! Twilight's taking me to The Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot.' Said Pinkie Pie.

'The gala? I design ensembles for the gala every year, but I've never had the opportunity to attend.' Said Rarity.

Vegeta grunts, preparing for yet another visualization of a mare in the event. He mentally told himself to calm down.

'Oh, the society, the culture, the glamor! It's where I truly belong, and where I'm destined to meet him.'

'Him!' said Pinkie Pie as if she knew whom Rarity was speaking about. '...Who?'

'Him.' said Rarity.

Rarity the visualizes herself in the Grand Galloping Gala. In Canterlot, the rich folks are in the ballroom talking when they suddenly see Rarity with a dress walk in.

...I would stroll through the gala, and everyone would wonder, who is that mysterious mare? They would never guess that I was just a simple pony from little old Ponyville. Why, I would cause such a sensation that I would be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia herself, and the princess would be so taken with the style and elegance that she would introduce me to him, her nephew: the most handsome, eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot.

A handsome and rich looking stallion then emerges from the crowd.

Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt. Our courtship would be magnificent. He would ask for my hoof in marriage, and of course I would say, Yes!We would have a royal wedding, befitting a princess, which is ...what I would become upon marrying him, the stallion of my dreams.

'Twilight, I simply cannot believe you would invite Pinkie Pie so she can... party and prevent me from meeting my true love. How could you? Hmph.' said Rarity as she seems disappointed by Twilight's decision even though Twilight did not invite anyone yet. While the others are seeing this scene unfold, Angel who is one of Fluttershy's bunnies took the tickets from Spike.

'Hey!' said Spike as he was surprised by the bunny's actions. Angel showed them to Fluttershy who replies with a small gasp.

'Angel, these are perfect.' said Fluttershy.

'Uh, listen guys, I haven't decided who to give the extra ticket to.' said Twilight.

'You haven't?' said Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

'She can't think of an empty stomach' said Vegeta

'Um, excuse me, Twilight. I would just like to ask, I mean, if it would be alright, if you haven't given it to someone else-' said Fluttershy until being rudely cut off by Rarity.

'You? You want to go to the gala?' said Rarity.

'Oh, no. I mean, yes, or, actually, kind of.' said Fluttershy.

'Oh for kami's sake…' said Vegeta

Fluttershy then visualizes herself in the Grand Galloping Gala. Well, she's not really in to the party itself, but rather she is in the royal gardens.

...You see, it's not so much The Grand Galloping Gala as it is the wondrous private gated garden that surrounds the dance.'

The garden shows a huge variety of wildlife.

The flowers are said to be the most beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria. For the night of the gala, and that night alone, would they all be in bloom... and that's just the flora! Don't get me started on the fauna. There's loons and toucans and bitterns, oh my! Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards that can really buzz. White-blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, pink jays and pink flamingos!

'Gee, Fluttershy, it sounds... beautiful?' said Twilight.

'Wait just a minute.' said Rainbow Dash.

'Rainbow Dash, were you following us?' Twilight asked in a more nervous tone.

'No. I mean, yes. I mean, maybe. Look, it doesn't matter. I couldn't risk a goody-four-shoes like Twilight giving that ticket away to just anybody.' said Rainbow Dash.

'Wait just another minute.' said Applejack as she entered the scene.

'Hey guys! It took forever for these two finish the wrestle' said Goku as he enters the scene as well

'So Kakarot, were the two of you doing the same thing as this rainbowed freak?' asked Vegeta to his Saiyan rival

'Oh, it's not like that. It's kinda the exact opposite: we were following her' he answered

'And I was makin' sure that she wasn't gonna steal my ticket' added Applejack

'Your ticket?' said Twilight.

'But Twilight's taking me.' said Pinkie Pie.

The mane six the proceeds to argue even further around Twilight. The purple mare shrunk in fear, she could hear their voices simultaneously, yet she couldn't understand what all of them are trying to say. The prince could no longer bare the annoyance.

'BE QUIET!' he shouted while releasing an awful amount of ki throughout the entire town. The winds blew violently, creating a mini wind storm that cause a little bit of ruckus.

'This has to stop, otherwise I'm gonna blast each and every one of you into oblivion!'

Goku quickly intervenes, 'Uhh, what he meant to say is: Twilight haven't decided who to give the ticket. It's better off to leave her alone and give her the space she needs to think. All of you will get the answer eventually'

'He's right.' Twilight's stomach then growls louder than before. 'And I certainly can't think on an empty stomach. Now go on, shoo.' The Mane Five then go their separate directions while mumbling under their breaths.

'And don't worry, I'll figure this out... somehow.' said Twilight.

'Geez, they are really in it for the ticket' said Goku

'Finally, those mares are gone' said Vegeta while powering down, 'We could finally go to the restaurant and find something to eat'

And so, Twilight, Spike, Goku and Vegeta goes to the nearest restaurant they could find. Moments later, they found one. The restaurant seems to have a lot of ponies eating at the establishment, hinting that the food they serve is certainly delicious. However, the two saiyans doubts it. They knew that the restaurant would only sell pony food. But nonetheless, their bottomless pits you so call stomachs are begging for food. It wouldn't hurt to try out their delicacies for a change. They all take their sits right after the waiter escorted them. Each were given the menu that contains the food they serve.

The Saiyans couldn't find a single thing to eat in the restaurant. However, one food seems to be quite appetizing.

'The Hay fries sounds quite delicious' said Goku

Vegeta's body shakes, 'Ugh, you're gonna eat hay?! No thanks. I'll rather just starve to death'

'C'mon Vegeta, we should try something different for a change'

'Oh please, shut up. We need meat not some lowly standardized fries!'

'Well, if you say so. I'll have a few hay fries'

Twilight then speaks up, 'Guys, what am I gonna do? All five of my best friends have really good reasons to go to the gala. Applejack, or Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, Rarity... Oh, who should go with me?' said Twilight. Her stomach rumbles so she eats the flower petals from the table.

'Have you made your decision?' asked the waiter that seemingly had a French accent.

'I CAN'T DECIDE!' Twilight shouts out which draws the attention of a few others.

'Calm down Twilight, he's just here to take your order' said Goku

'Oh. I would love a daffodil and daisy sandwich.' said Twilight.

'Do you have any rubies? No?' asked Spike. Obviously, the answer is no. 'Okay. I'll have the hay fries, extra crispy.'

'I'll be having the same thing as Spike order' said Goku

'I'll be take a glass of water' said Vegeta

'What do you think, guys?' asked Twilight.

'I think we have to try another restaurant. I mean, I like grass just fine, but would it hurt anybody to offer some gemstones?' said Spike.

'I mean about the gala and the ticket and who I should take.' said Twilight.

'You still thinking about the event?' asked Goku

'Guys, listen. How do I choose? And when I do choose, will the other four be mad at me? I mean, I could give up my ticket and give away two, but that would still leave three disappointed ponies.' said Twilight as you see an animation of the ponies' reactions should Twilight choose someone other than them. 'What if I'- Before she could finish, the waiter brings their food.

'Ah, your food.' said the waiter.

Goku's mouth watered as seeing the fries looks very crispy. He takes a little sniff of the food, his mood shifted from hunger to pure disgust as he smelled the scent of grass and hay. The prince smiles, victorious about his decision.

'Oh, thank you. This looks so good. I'm sure everything will be much clearer once I eat.' said Twilight. As Twilight grabs the sandwich, the other ponies gallop inside the restaurant.

'What's going on?' asked Goku.

'Em, madam? Are you and friends going to eat your food in ze rain?' said the waiter.

'It's not raining.' As if bad luck, it rains but not on their spot. 'What's going on?' said Twilight.

'Hi there best friends forever I've ever ever had. Enjoying the sunny weather?' said Rainbow Dash as she was acting innocently. There was a hole in the clouds so that's why they weren't rained on.

'Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?' Twilight asked the Pegasus, obviously annoyed by Rainbow's actions.

'Whaddya mean? I just saw the smartest, most generous pony about to get rained on, so I thought I'd kick a hole in the clouds to keep her and the rest of you dry so she could dine in peace, that's all.'

'Rainbow, you're not trying to get extra consideration for the extra ticket by doing me extra special favors, are you?'

'Me? No no no, of course not.'

'Uh-huh.'

'Seriously, I'd do it for any pony.' said Rainbow Dash.

'ANY pony?' said Vegeta while his eyes were looking at the other ponies who were running to find shelter from the rain.

'Heh heh, eh.' Rainbow Dash giggled nervously.

'Rainbow, I am not comfortable accepting unwanted favors, so I'd appreciate it if you close up that rain cloud right now.' said Twilight.

'Ugh, fine.' Rainbow Dash then zipped up the hole in the cloud.

'That's better.' Twilight was about to enjoy the sandwich, but the rain got harder and doused her and the sandwich. She groaned in anger.

'Twilight, it's raining.' said Rarity who had an umbrella.

'No, really?' Twilight replied in a sarcastic tone.

'Come with me before you catch a cold.' Rarity said as she grabbed Twilight and headed to Carousel Boutique.

'Shouldn't we go?' asked Goku

'No, I'm going somewhere where there is decent food' said Vegeta

'Well, the princess did say that she would handle all of our necessities'

Vegeta puts his finger under his chin, 'You're right. We should head out to Canterlot'

'No problemo' said Goku

Vegeta knows that Goku is going to use instant transmission. He holds on Goku's left shoulder, before both saiyans disappeared out of sight. Meanwhile at the Carousel Boutique, Twilight shook of her body, causing the water to splatter around and drenching Rarity with rain water.

'Heh heh, oops, sorry.' said Twilight as she sees a doused Rarity with a solemn look on her face.

'Oh no, it's quite alright.' said Rarity as her her expression changed. 'After all, we are... the best of friends, are we not? And you know what the best of friends do?'

'Uh...' said Twilight.

'Makeovers!' said Rarity. Rarity took Twilight behind a cover and you could hear some commotion going on back there. 'There. Oh, you're simply darling.' said Rarity as it is revealed she put a dress on Twilight.

'Uh, yeah, it is kinda pretty, isn't it?' said Twilight. Spike made a look of disgust but his fist accidentally went into his mouth just as Rarity came over.

'And you. Oh Spike, I have a dandy little outfit for the dashing gent.' said rarity.

'Uh-oh.' said Spike as he tried to flee but Rarity caught the dragon and brought him behind the curtain. 'D-ah, ow, oh, hey, wow, watch it, whoa!' After the cover went away, Spike was dressed up in an outfit like he was from the 1700s.

'Now you just need a hat.' said rarity as she put a hat on Spike.

'Ugh, I told you, I don't want any part of this girly gala gunk, see you back at the library.' said Spike as he darted out of the shop.

'Oh, who needs him anyway. This is all about you, and how fabulous you'll look at The Grand Galloping Gala.' said Rarity. While looking at her herself in the mirror, Twilight then stopped as she heard the last statement.

'And oh, my goodness, what a coincidence. I happen to have an ensemble of my own that matches yours to a T. We would be the belles of the ball, you and I. Everyone would be clamoring for our attention. All eyes would be on us, and then everyone would finally know, the most beautiful, most talented, most sophisticated pony in all of Equestria is Rarity the unicorn. Ah...' Rarity then made a nervous laugh. '...and Twilight Sparkle, of course.'

'I see what's going on. You're just buttering me up so I can give you the extra ticket. Well it's not gonna work. You're going to have to wait for my decision just like everyone else. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've been trying all day just to get some lunch.' said Twilight as she took off the dress. All of a sudden, Applejack was right in front of her.

'Did somepony say lunch?' said Applejack.

'You've got to be kidding me!' said Twilight. Applejack had a huge cart of products.

'I got apple pie, apple fritters, apple tarts, apple dumplings, apple crisps, apple crumblers, and apple Brown Betty. Uh, the dessert, not my auntie. What do you say there, best friend?' said Applejack. Her stomach rumbled. 'Is that a yes?'

'No. No. I don't know who I'm giving the ticket to, and all these favors aren't making it any easier to decide. In fact, I'm less sure now than I was this morning. Ugh!' said Twilight before trotting away.

'So… That's a maybe?' said Applejack

Twilight is walking towards the Ponyville Library, her home. Her stomach lets out a growl. Her hunger is way off the chart simply because she didn't eat nothing since after all the hard work from Sweet Apple Acres. She opens the door, surprised to see the animals were cleaning up the library. All of them are being leaded by Fluttershy.

'Oh, Fluttershy. Not you too' said Twilight.

'Oh, well, hello Twilight. I hope you don't mind, but we're all doing a little spring cleaning for you.' said Fluttershy.

'It's summer'

'Oh, well, better late than never, right? It was Angel's idea.'

The white bunny, wearing a chef's hat, is seen tossing around some chopped vegetables and flowers in a wooden bowl.

'You're not doing this for the ticket, are you?' said Twilight.

'Oh no, I'm doing this because you're my very best friend. Right Angel?' said Fluttershy. Angel frowned. 'Oh, yes, we are just doing this for the ticket.'

The bunny offered the bowl of salad for the purple mare.

'No, no, no! It was nice of you and Angel, but I'm not accepting any extra favors until I've made my final decision. I'm going to have to ask you to leave' said Twilight

Just as when Twilight opens the door, the two saiyans came back from their feast from Canterlot. Both of them seems to be satisfied with the food they've devoured.

'Hey Twilight! What's up?' asked Goku

All of a sudden, a bunch of ponies yelled out…

'SURPRISE!' shouted a bunch of ponies.

They then snatch the purple mare, throwing her up in mid-air as if they are cheering her for something. Pinkie Pie was singing a song about her being Twilight's best friend, all in which was in favor for the ticket. The prince covers his ears, not wanting to hear any of the pink mare's song.

'PIIINKIIIE!' said Twilight.

'Oh, for goodness sake. Won't that mare SHUT UP?!' the prince said, shouting out his last two words causing his ki to be released.

They halted, feared the Saiyan for his sudden burst. Twilight falls down to the ground, but quickly gets up.

'At least the other ponies tried to be subtle about the ticket.' said Twilight.

'Wait, what ticket? What gala?' said Drizzle.

'Oh, you didn't know? Twilight has an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!' said Pinkie Pie.

'The Grand Galloping Gala?' said the ponies.

'Uh-oh, this doesn't look good' said Goku

The ponies started doing all sorts of things for the sake of the extra ticket, complimenting her, asking some favors for her, everything. They all starts to approach the purple mare, while she is backing out.

'Oh no. What am I gonna do?' asked Twilight to herself

Before she could think any further, Goku grabs a hold of her while Vegeta is in behind. Both are running away from the crowd. Moments later, the crowd takes a hot pursuit at the two saiyans. At that moment, the chase has been commenced. They were getting away. They disguised themselves as common residents as the pursuers passed by. As their disguises dropped, one pony turned around and saw them. The team run away again and this time they were either under the bridge or in the water. They kept running and running until they were trapped in an alleyway.

'We're trapped' said Spike as he felt the solid brick wall behind him

'Not quite. Everyone grab on!' said Goku

They didn't even hesitate to grab the Saiyan. Goku puts both index and middle finger on his forehead, disappearing from the crowd's sight. They all gasped, wondering where they've gone. All of them reappears inside the Ponyville Library.

'Quick lock the doors' said Goku

All of them cover up the windows and lock the back and front doors to the house. They then turned out all of the lights.

'Phew.' said Spike. Suddenly, the lights turn on to reveal Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy who all had sad looks.

'Yaaaargh! I can't decide, I just can't decide. It's important to all of you and I just can't stand to disappoint any of you and giving me gifts and doing me favors won't make any difference, because you're all my friends and I wanna make you all happy and I can't, I just can't!' said Twilight.

'Twilight, sugar, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you, and if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it to somepony else. I won't feel bad, I promise.' said Applejack.

'Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful.' said Fluttershy.

'And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends.' said Pinkie Pie.

'Twilight, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did.' said Rarity.

'Yes! That means the ticket is mine. Ha ha, I got the ticket, I got the ticket'- Rainbow Dash gloated until the others shot her a mean glare. '...you know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for The Wonderbolts anyway. I don't need that ticket either.'

'We all got so gun-ho about going to the gala that we couldn't see how un-gun-ho we were making you.' said Applejack.

'We're sorry, Twilight.' said the five ponies.

Hearing those words, Twilight can now finally rest back for a little.

'Spike, take down a note.' Said Twilight. The dragon quickly pulls out a paper and a quill.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala.

'What?!' said the Mane Five.

'If my friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either.'

'Twilight, you don't have to do that.' said Applejack.

'Nope. I've made up my mind. Spike, you can send the letter now.' said Twlight. Spike breathed his magic fire on the scroll and it disappeared.

'Now you won't get to go to the gala either.' said Fluttershy.

'It's okay girls. I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me, so I would rather not go at all.' said Twilight.

While Goku seems to be pleasured about the outcome, Vegeta and Spike, however, seems to be disgusted. Suddenly, Spike looked like he was going to vomit.

'Hgh... hgh... urk... urk...' Spike grunted.

'What's wrong Spike? You choking or something?' asked Goku

'Well wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment.' said Applejack. Spike burped out a letter. 'Whoa Nelly!'

'A letter from the princess? That was fast.' said Twilight.

'My faithful student Twilight, why didn't you just say so in the first place?' Spike said as he read the letter.

'What?! You mean we've been chased down by a mob, hungry for those tickets, and these ponies almost brought out an all-out war, but only to be solved by simply asking for more tickets?!' said Vegeta

'Easy there Vegeta' said Goku

'You shut your mouth! Ugh!'

Suddenly, Spike burps out extra tickets. 'And look, six tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala.' The ponies gasp.

'Now we can all go.' said Twilight. Her stomach rumbles louder than ever which makes her laugh.

'Allow us to treat you to dinner.' said Rarity. As all of the girls left with tickets and headed to Sugarcube Corner.

Spike seems to be happy that the last spare ticket is in his hands, but shortly-lived as when the ticket gently flew away.

'How come I don't get a ticket to the gala?' asked Spike

'Look who's talking?' said Vegeta

'I agree with Spike. It would be nice to go' said Goku

Unexpectedly, the dragon burps out a letter and three more spare tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala.

'And three more tickets to the three of you' said Spike as he reads the letter

'Awesome!' said Goku as he and Vegeta takes the ticket from Spike, 'This is going to be fun'

The three then goes out of the library. Spike seems to be quite satisfied by this, but his mood shifted when he bumps into Applejack, realizing that he's busted.

'I mean, gross, we have to go too?' said Spike before he quickly runs away to catch up with the others

Applejack simply snickers at the dragon before she went to the group.

To be Continued…
