Well here we are. Shining armor said. As the transport arrived in front of Dusk Shines home. So this is where he lives now. Candace said. replied. Yep my little bro loves books and he's in a building that's full of them. Still… I wonder how little shiny been up to these last two weeks. As he and Candace approached the front door and Knock on it. When door opened Shining happily saw Spike who turn was surprise to see him. Hey Spike. Oh ugh hi. He responded. Normally Spike would see Shining in his royal guard armor but today he was wearing white sweater,with The royal plaque on the upper right side with navy pants, navy and grey shoes. Hello said a woman who was with him. The unknown woman wore a pink dress which had a golden belt that went around her waist with an ice blue heart that was in the middle, she also wore a golden necklace that was attached to her dress along with two golden wrist gauntlets. Spike this is Candace I'm sure Dusk mentioned her several times. Oh yeah you used to babysit him and did tell he had a crush on you. And now I can see why. as he look at her hair that had moderate Violet with a mix of rose with gold strikes. Cadance blushed giggled at this. Yes well besides being babysitter. Shining told him. She's now the ruler and princess of the Crystal kingdom. So what you've been up to Spike? Cadance asked him. Anything? Na just busy lounging and reading his comic books after doing several chores around the library. So where's little Dusky is he home? Shining asked. Well he's off learning how to fly with Rainbow Dash But he should be home soon. He answered. Rainbow Dash? Shining said Surprised. Isn't that the girl who crashed into him and and kicked in the chest. Yeah that's her. And there friends? Candance asked questionably. Yep. Said Spike. There friends. Just than crashing sound was heard outside along with a yell. Quickly opening up the front door Shining along with spike and Candance saw Dusk lying on the ground as he slowly stood up. Big bro! Spike yelled. Are you ok? Yeah I'm fine. Dusk replied as he stood up. Still leaning the ropes of how to fly little shiny. Turning his head Dusk's eyes widen as he saw his older brother standing next to…. Candace? He said in disbelief. How are you Dusk? She asked him. Last time I saw you you were 10 and were enrolling in Celestia's school to be her private tutor. Yeah a lot has change since than. Dusk said as Candace looked at him from head to toe. I can't believe your a prince now. She said to him. So little Shiny. His older brother called him making Spike chuckle. can you show us around town me and Candace are curious what this place is like. Ignoring his brothers annoying nick names Dusk replied. Well there isn't much to see sense this is a small town but I guess I can show you two the market. Ponyville market was a busy place especially during the holiday times and when Dusk and the others arrived it was already packed with people. Man for such a small town this place sure has a lot Business. Shining commented. Before Dusk could respond he heard Pinkie Pie's say? Yoo-hoo Dusky. Looking into her direction Dusk thought Oh no not her. Hi Dusky. Hi Pinky. Dusk greeted trying not to sound annoyed. So how was your flying session with Rainbow Dash? It went well didn't crash into anything. Yeah but your landing still needs some work. I only crashed because I was distracted. Dusk argued. Hi spike and who are these two other people who are with you. Oh this is my older brother from Canterlot Shining Armor. Dusk introduced. And this is his fiancée and ruler of the Crystal kingdom Princess Cadace. After this Pinkie Pies body filled up with excitement. Oh this is unbelievable Pinkie Pie said unable to contain herself. I'm so happy to finally meet someone in Dusk's family as she wildly shook Shinings hand. Looking at Pinkie's body Shining blushed and almost drooled if weren't for Candace looking at him. And it's an honor to have someone like you from the Crystal empire to visit Ponyville. She said to Cadace. So how was Dusky as a child? Pinkie asked her. Since I know you you used to babysit him as a child. Pinkie how do you know that? Dusk asked her. Pinkie sense. She answered. Pinkie sense? Cadence Said confused. You know what? Pinkie said. We should have a party. A Party? Shining Armor said. Yes a party would be great for this little family get together. I should get going to get the party started. But suddenly froze and zipped right in front of Dusk. I almost forgot ask do you know where Rainbow is? Last I saw her she was at her house with an old friend of hers called Gilda. Did you say old friend? Asked Pinkie. Yeah but… Dusk tried to explained. Ohhhh. This is so exciting as she ran off. Pinkie… Dusk called out but to no avail. He tried chase her but she was to fast for him. I have to admit she's super hyper. Cadace committed. Yeah I'm surprised someone like my little bro is able to tolerate someone like her. Shining told her. Well she's not too bad. Said Spike . I had a lot fun playing with her before the Summer sun Celebrations. Still what was that special ability she had? Shining asked him. A pinkie sense or something? Yeah but me and Dusk don't know what it is. Looking around Cadence said to her future husband. Hey let's check out some these stalls here. Alright. He said. Hey big bro. Spike shouted. We're going to check out some stuff you wanna tag along? With that Dusk quickly joined up with the others. This is going be a long day. He thought?
Gilda and Dash were neck and neck as they race towards the cloud Gilda pointed to earlier. Despite Dashes great speed Gilda managed to win mere inches after Dash. Alright. Rainbow said. I'll let you have this win. Anther race towards that cloud over there? Gilda pointed. With that Rainbow positioned herself. As she said. On your mark Get set… Go! More determined than the first race Rainbow Dash flapped her wings as hard as she could and managed to beat her old friend. Not bad. Said Gilda. What you say we go third time? Let's do this. Rainbow said with smile. The duo friends friends were seen racing by some onlookers in Ponyville. Dash won the third race and soon fourth race was challenged and the two friends were more eager to race to the finished, Gilda won but with much like the first race Rainbow was just inches behind her bringing the two girls at tie as they sat on the cloud to catch their breaths. Not bad. Said Gilda. Your still as fast as I remember. Well you ain't too bad yourself. Said Rainbow. Also. She said to her. I had encounter with those three bullies again while I was showing Egghead around Clouds Dale. Yeah. Replied Gilda. While after a brief encounter he used his magic to form huge hole beneath them,so the next thing those three big shots knew they were falling towards the ground below. Couldn't they just flap their wings to save themselves? Well they could've if it weren't for Eggheads spell preventing them from doing so. They almost reached the ground until they stopped and started floating back up to Clouds Dale again. After that they apologize for their ignorance and fled like the cowards they were. Too bad I wasn't there I would've introduced their faces to my newly sharp claws. As both of them laughed. Still…. Rainbow said. Egghead ain't too bad for a geek who loves books that is. Wait is that the reason? Gilda asked Dash. What are you talking about? You brought girl face Prince to your home because your attracted to him. No! Dash denied. But the female Harpy could tell her multicolored hair friend was lying. Tell me this Dash if I wasn't there were you going to have your way with him? Uhhhh. Dash said. But before she could answer Rainbow span class Pinkie Pie voice calling her Rainbow Dash. Wondering where her voice coming from both she and Gilda looked around and, soon Rainbow spotted and pointed to where Pinkie was. She was in purple hot air balloon. You know that girl? Asked Gilda. Yeah. Rainbow replied. Her names Pinkie Pie. Over her! Pinkie shouted. As the two winged girls flew up to her. are…or should I say what are you? She asked The female harpy. Pinkie Said Rainbow this my childhood friend Gilda. She introduced ? She said. She's a harpy Dash human and half eagle. And all awesome. Gilda finished. So what brings you up here? Rainbow asked her. Well I was talking to Dusk at the Ponyville market and oh… I almost forgot to tell you. Dusk shine older brother and babysitter are here from Canterlot. Babysitter? Gilda said. Well actually former babysitter and she's the ruler of the Crystal kingdom. And I'm going to host them a party and for you too Gilda. Pinkie pointed at her. Me? Gilda said confused. Well Pinkie does host parties for anyone new in Ponyville. Rainbow explained to her. And believe me her parties can be pretty wild. If you say so. Also Pinkie told Dash. Before I do all that I was hoping we could all hangout since we hardly do anything together. Well what you wanna do? Rainbow asked her. Well I was thinking maybe we could pull a few pranks around town sound good? Sounds good to me. Said Rainbow. What about you? She asked Gilda. I'm down for a good prank. Than all Pie said as the two girls got in as the ballon descended down.
Finally Rarity said. It had been a busy day and she finally fished outlining,and getting the fabric she needed for the clothes and dresses,that she and her friends were going to wear at the gala. Now all was left was to make sure her younger sister didn't mess with her stuff. As she had a habit of using or taking Materials and fabric without her consent or knowledge. After dealing with that Rarity put on her new hat that she been working on for weeks. The hat while blue consisted of 5 long green feathers and 3 short feathers with a aqua fur brim. Now with all this out of the way time for a little relaxation at the Ponyville spa. She said to herself. But once she opened the door she notice a small bottle. What's this? She thought. Looking at it closely it look like a bottle of perfume,but who placed it near her door? looking around she saw nobody having though having suspicions her curiosity got the better of her as it often did and opened the a whiff the continents inside made her nose tingle. Oh no not again. She said as she tried to hold it. Ah Ah Dash! She yelled. As she heard laughing behind a bush. Gotcha again Rarity. Dash mocked. I told you guys she would fall for it. As Pinkie Pie and Gilda stood up. Ah Ah achoo. Rarity sneezed again. Curse you. Rarity shouted achoo Bye Rarity nice Pinkie said as the trio left. Not so fast I'm gonna… achoo! Before she could anything else Rarity saw Rainbow Dash and the others had already fled. Sighing she said to herself. I shall deal with them later right now it's time for a relaxing spa treatment. Okay who's our next victim? Gilda asked. Our next target is at Sweet Apple Acres. Answered Rainbow Dash.
In the barn Pinkie and Gilda watched as Dash poured and unknown liquid Substance in Apple Jack's apple cleaning machine. All set she told the others. She coming. Said Pinkie. As three of them hid behind the machine. Just as soon as A.J. herself appeared with cart of apples oblivious to small sound of giggling coming from the other side as she poured them all into machine and flip the switch. The young farm girl wiped a sweat off her Brow as harvesting the around her farm was no easy task. While waiting for the apples to come out Apple Jack was in disbelief she sped eyes with her hands to make sure she was seeing right. What in Tarnation is this? She said as she picked one of the said to herself. Whoever heard of orange apples? Suddenly she heard laughter coming behind the machine. Wondering what was going on she took a look and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie and someone else she didn't recognize or knew. Gotcha. Rainbow said to her. Rainbow Dash Pinkie Pie! She shouted. The three girls ran as A.J. gave chase and threw many of the apples they ruined at them. You y'all come back here and come back here and pay for this. She shouted when the pranking trio ran out of sight. You okay Apple Jack. Said Big Mac hearing all the commotion. I'm fine. She replied with frown. It's just I wonder now what are we going to do with all these ruin apples. Well what happen? He asked. Well Pinkie and Dash and their new friend, did somethin to our machine which cases to it make our apples orange. See? She showed him. Taking a sniff and small bite. Big Mackintosh said to his little sis. We still sell them. What do mean? She asked. Taste them the color may have changed but the taste is still the same. Taking a bite out of the painted apples Apple Jack said. Hot damn your right Big Mac. And you know what these painted apples give me an idea for our autumn harvest sell. But where did they get this? Well considering this is a prank I guess they got it at the joke shop. Big Mac told her. She smiled. I might stop over there sometime As she and her brother headed towards the barn. Before she entered Apple Jack looked at the southern fields and knew it wouldn't be long when she and her Big Mac would harvest it as it was their biggest crop yet.
Come on guys. Pinkie pie complained something she rarely did. As all three of them look at at Fluttershy having a picnic with her animal friends. Relax Pinkie will go easy on her. Rainbow assured her. Yeah she's is just going to do her little roar. Gilda said. As they hid behind the trees inside the Everfree Forest. Alright here it goes. Dash said as she took a deep breath. A sudden load roar startled Fluttershy and her animal friends as they huddled together. Did she hear it? Asked Rainbow. She heard alright. Gilda replied. Pinkie looked over and saw Fluttershy looking at the direction where Rainbow made the roar. Alright. That's enough. Pinkie said. Just one more and than will be all done. Rainbow told her. Mean Gilda was laughing. She still the scaredy cat back when I first met her. She mocked. It's okay my sweeties I'm sure it was nothing… just than anther roar was heard. Coming in the direction as the first one. The animals huddled together close shanking. Though scared herself Fluttershy decided to walk where the roaring was coming to see who or what was causing it. She's walking towards here. Said Rainbow. Well thats the first courageous thing she's ever done. Said Gilda. As fluttershy got closer she was near two trees but she still couldn't see anything that caused the noise. Suddenly Rainbow Dash. Appeared out behind the tree and yelled. Boo! Not expecting to see anyone Flettershy was startled as she gasp after realizing it was her multicolored haired friend. Rainbow! She said with an annoyed face. But before she knew it someone else from anther tree come out and yelled. Boo! Through not startling her as much she did step back in fear as she saw who it was. G.. G..Gilda. Hey Fluttershy it's been a long time since Camp Flight Jr. With that she bumped into someone behind her and saw… Pinkie Pie? Futtershy Said. I'm sorry. Said Pinkie. I told them we shouldn't prank you but… Rainbow said it wouldn't have as harsh as the other pranks. And it wasn't. Said Rainbow. Say let's do some more pranking in town. You she asked Gilda I'm down with that. She replied. Pinkie want Join Us? As much want do that. She said to them. I have to get the party set up. So I'll see you guys there. Alright let's go. Rainbow said as she and Gilda took off. Your having a party? Asked Fluttershy. That's answered in her usual cherry voice. I'm having a party for Dusk's brother and baby sitter. And Gilda as well. Her? Flurrershy. replied. But don't you worry if anything bad happens your sweet auntie Pinkie Pie we'll be there to help you. But I'm a year older than you. She told her. but realized she was gone leaving her alone with the animals who were looking at her. Walking up to them she said. Well with that predicament out of the way. Let us finish up. As she and her animals friends continued their quality time together. But Fluttershy couldn't stop thinking of what Pinkie Pie mentioned earlier. I'm having a party for Dusk's brother and his babysitter hmmm. It would be nice to see someone from Dusk's family. And his babysitter? Someone who knew Dusk as child? I guess it would be nice. She thought.
