It was a relatively normal day just outside of ponyvill for Starlight and Trixie, the two friends agreed to go kite flying for Starlight's day off from work at the school of friendship, it was all so relaxing, until suddenly Trixie's Cutie mark started glowing
Starlight looked to her friend and noticed her Cutie mark and complained "Oh come on, my day off, the only day we get to spend quality time together and you get called for a friendship problem!"
Starlight sulked for a moment until Trixie raised her head and stated "Don't worry Starlight, I'm kinda excited, I mean my first ever friendship problem! Do you have any advice?"
Starlight answered "I guess gather all the facts you can and then go with your gut, that worked for me."
Trixie left but not before somehow finding Maud and getting her to hang out with Starlight for the day
Meanwhile in sugar cube corner
Lyra Heartstrings and her 'best friend' Bon Bon were enjoying a lunch together when suddenly Lyra's Cutie Mark started glowing
Lyra however didn't know what this meant, but lucky for them today they choose Sugar Cube Corner to have their lunch
Pinkie popped up out of nowhere cheered "Oh, Lyra, looks like your Cutie Mark is glowing, that means the map must be calling for you! Theirs a friendship problem that needs you to solve it!"
Lyra slightly scared stated "I've never solved a friendship problem before!"
Bon Bon stated "Not true, remember the time we had an argument on the day of Cranky and Matilda's wedding? We solved that rather quickly."
Lyra frantically stated "But this time you won't be able to help me!"
Bon Bon stated "The map wouldn't have called you if it didn't think you were the right pony for the job, right?"
Pinkie cheered "Yep indeed, now go solve a friendship problem!"
Lyra hesitantly ran out towards the castle
Meanwhile at Twilight's Castle
Twilight started in shook as 3 Cutie marks surrounded Ponyvill on the magic map of equestria, one of which she didn't even recognize
Before she could think any further her door opened to first revel Lyra and then later Trixie, two ponies she was expecting, but the final pony wasn't there yet apparently
Lyra noticed and yell-asked "Trixie!?"
Trixie decided to ignore that for now and asked "So where is this friendship problem?"
Twilight answered "Right here in ponyvill."
Lyra syed in relief
Trixie commented "That's convenient."
Twilight pointed at the Cutie marks on the map and stated "But there's supposed to be a third pony and that pony isn't here yet."
Lyra and Trixie both looked at the remaining cutie mark, a firework explosion
Lyra stated "I've seen that type of explosion before somewhere."
Trixie replied "That's because it's a firework explosion, I should know."
Lyra declared "No, theirs just something about that explosion, more so than just something cool I reminder seeing, I can't put my hoof on it though."
Trixie took a closer look and started "Now that you mention it, that does look familiar, like not exactly a firework but something closer to an explosion of pure magic, I'm just guessing though."
Suddenly the door opened once more this time to reveal a bezel unicorn wearing a black cloak
Tempest asked "Hay can anypony explain this?" She asked then lifted up the back of her cloak to reveal her cutie mark which was the same as the mystery one on the map, it was even glowing, indicating she was the third pony required for this mission
Twilight smiled and stated "Tempest, it's good to see you again, as for your Cutie Mark Glowing, this map of equestria calls certain ponies to solve friendship problems, one time the map even called Spike but that was because of a friendship problem he was inadvertently causing."
Tempest scratched her head and declared "I understand most of that." She then turned to Trixie and Lyra and asked "And you two are?"
Trixie confidently declared "I'm Trixie."
Lyra looked at her confused and stated "Um I'm Lyra, this may sound weird but have we met before?"
Tempest syed and declared "I attacked Cantorlot during the festival of friendship."
Lyra shook her head and started "No, I already knew that, but I can't help but think we've met somewhere else before that."
Trixie declared "The Great and Powerful Trixie feels like she met you somewhere before she even first came to ponyvill."
Tempest asked "Great and Powerful Trixie? Why do I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before
Twilight who was listening in the background couldn't help but wonder the same
Lyra finally took a good look at Tempest's horn and something clicked in her mind before hesitantly asking "Fizzy?"
Tempest's eyes immediately shot to her and she declared "Only my best friends used to call me that, how do you know that name?"
Lyra declared "Oh my Twilight, Fizzy it's me, Heartfull?"
Tempest's eyes widened
Twilight raised an eyebrow and asked "Oh my Twilight?"
Trixie answered "Twilight your is technically a goddess, I'm is actually surprised that hasn't happened sooner."
Twilight asked "You just talked in first pony?"
Trixie declared "Trixie has no idea what Twilight is talking about."
Tempest turned to Lyra and asked "Heartfull? Is that really you?"
Lyra gave a soft smile and declared "It's been way too long Fizzy, I am so sorry about what happened back when we were fillies, Mother forced me to keep away form you after your magic became unstable."
Tempest declared "No, I understand, I definitely over reacted when I ran away from equestria, by the do you know whatever happened to Moony?"
Trixie yelled "Don't call me Moony!" She paused for a moment and asked "Where did that come from?"
Twilight asked "Trixie? What's your full name?"
Trixie asked "Trixie never told you her last name was Lulamoon?"
Lyra Trixie and Tempest all stared at each other in shock until Trixie yelled "Wait a second! Dose the name the Great and Powerful Trio ring a bell to ether of you?"
Tempest and Lyra looked at each other and nodded
Tempest started "Welcome one and all!"
Lyra continued "For today you have been blessed to have the opportunity to watch and be amazed."
Trixie finished "For we are the Great and Powerful Trio!"
The three giggled at the end
Trixie finally decided "Fizzy, Heartfull! It's been way too long, I'm really sorry I didn't recognize you two."
Lyra smirked "Don't worry about it, I remember how bad your memory was."
Twilight stated "Wale this apparent reunion is quite touching, care to fill me in?"
Tempest stated "These are my old friends."
Twilight asked "You mean the ones you said abandoned you after your horn broke? I can kinda see Trixie doing that-"
"Hay" Trixie shouted
"But." Twilight Continued "Lyra already explained why she had to stay away."
"Speaking of Heartfull, why are your eyes yellow, I remembered them being purple, and now that I'm getting closer look, Moony's eyes are also kinda different from I remember."
"Don't call me Moony." Trixie glared but was betrayed by the genuine smile on her face
Lyra declared "About our eyes, Mother really wanted us to keep away from you, you probably don't remember this but me and Moony secretly continued playing with you for about a month after the Ursa Incident, but then she found out she placed the three of us under a spell, she made you forget about that month and made us forget about your very existence so the next time we were all together again to us you were just a stranger with a scary horn, and to you you had recently risked your life to get that ball back and we just abandoned you, it worked exactly how Mother wanted, but her spell worked a bit too well and by the next day me and Moony forgot about each other."
"And because you two were so young and the spell was so powerful it might have caused your eyes to change color." Twilight filled in that missing blank
"I want revenge on your mother." Tempest declared
"Don't waste your time, Celesta already banished her to Tartarus and now I know why." Lyra stated
"I guess theirs nothing we can do about that, but we can focus on our dark past another time, for now we have a friendship problem."
Twilight stated "Oh yeah about that." She pointed to their flanks and they were glowing again in indication that the problem was solved "They stated glowing a few minutes ago but I didn't say anything because I thought you already figured it out."
"Figured what out?"
"The friendship problem was you three, the map wanted you to come back together again. It only did it wale all three of you were in Ponyvill at the same time."
The three friends looked at one another and all giggled at that
