Everything was quite normal after that, Rarity had made some dresses, for the girls, and a tuxedo for Sonic. Rarity came to Sonic, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, squealing excitedly.
"Oh darlings!" she cried, happily running around.
"What's got ya so excited?" asked Applejack.
"Ohhh! We have all been invited to the Grand Galloping Gala!" Rarity announced, resulting in extreme excitement from the girls, and even some from Sonic.
"But...it's tonight!" Twilight said, freaking out.
"Don't worry darling, I had dresses ready beforehand weeks ago! Remember?" Rarity said. "And Sonic, you-"
"I've already got one, that kinda speaks for itself." Sonic joked. The others laughed a little.
"So, why do you wanna go, Twi?" asked Sonic.
"M-me?" said Twilight.
"No, the wall. Of course I'm talking to you." Sonic laughed.
"Well, I was wanting to spend time with Princess Celestia." Twilight replied, calmly, she poured a cup of tea for everyone, giving them to Sonic, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity, adding sugar to Pinkie and Rainbow Dash's tea, while adding some apple juice to Applejack's.
"Thank ya, sugarcube." Applejack said in reply, before drinking down her tea; quite messily, much to Rarity's disgust.
"Goodness gracious, Applejack!" she squealed. "please, don't make such a mess while drinking that."
"Anyway, what do you want to do at the gala, Applejack?" Sonic asked, looking at Applejack.
"Well, Ah'd sell our best treats there, and earn money for us Apples!" Applejack replied, smiling, spilling her tea on her knees. "whoops." she giggled.
Rarity groaned in irritation, and went to get a cloth, cleaning up the tea on the floor, in complete and utter disgust and horror.
"Goodness sake," she mumbled, cleaning it.
Spike came from Twilight's bag. "No, no, no! Stop; I'll get that for you, milady." he said to her.
"Oh thank you, Spikey Wikey..." Rarity said, smiling; she was looking quite tired. She looked at Spike, who looked up at her with a very toothy grin.
"Ahh! I... can't... believe... the Grand... Galloping... Gala... is... tonight!" squealed Pinkie, somehow, she had dropped her tea and was bouncing on a trampoline - where she'd gotten that, nobody knew.
Twilight was then working on a spell. "Pinkie! Please stop shouting, I'm trying to concentrate."
"Pinkie Pie! Stop that right now. It's time to prepare for the Gala, and I refuse to let you put on your new dress when you're all sweaty." Rarity nagged, looking darkly at her. Her hands were now on her hips.
"What are you doing anyway, Twi?" Sonic asked.
"She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala." Spike said.
In a very large poof, a carriage in the shape of an apple appeared before them all.
"Oh, this is...breathtaking!" Rarity said, clapping her hands.
A couple of hours later, Rarity said. "Now then, everyone, let's get changed."
Rarity pushed Sonic into a separate room, giving him the tuxedo while Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity got changed into the other room, leaving Spike waiting outside.
"Come on, you guys. Let me in!" Spike said.
"Sure thing, Spike." Rainbow Dash said.
"Heavens no! We're getting dressed." Rarity moaned.
"I still can't believe we're gonna be at Canterlot tonight. Our home town, Twilight! And the best part is that we all get to hang out together all night long!" Spike said, jumping around excitedly.
"Sonic, can you let me in." Spike turned to Sonic's room, it looked like it was as big as a cupboard. A very tiny one.
"I don't think there's enough roo- OW!" Sonic said, he had hurt his back on the wood.
"Maybe I should have gotten that fixed, Sonic." Rarity mumbled.
Fluttershy gasped. "Are you okay?" she sounded very concerned.
Sonic laughed a little bit, "Yeah, Fluttershy. Don't worry about it."
He then came out, and soon enough, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity came out.
"You look great," Sonic whispered to Twilight, resulting in her blushing.
"Come on, carriage, now." Rainbow said, irritated.
In the carriage, there were tons of excited chatter from the carriage, Sonic had gotten in last.
"Cause I planned out my insider's tour of Canterlot. I've gotta show Rarity the crown jewels, and Applejack the Princess's golden apple tree. And Pinkie, we gotta go to my favorite donut shop." Spike said, smiling excitedly.
The ride was a touch bumpy, but eventually, they reached Canterlot. They then stepped out of the apple carriage and looked at Canterlot.
"I can't believe we're finally here. With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!" Twilight said.
Then everyone decided to sing.
"At the gala," Twilight sang.
Suddenly, there was a choir, who sang, "At the gala!"
"At the gala, in the garden, I'm going to see them all. All the creatures, I'll befriend them at the Gala!" sang Fluttershy.
"At the gala...!"
"All the birdies, and the critters, they will love me big and small. We'll become good friends forever, right here at the Gala!" Fluttershy finished.
"All our dreams will come true, right here at the Gala! At the Gala!"
"At the Gala, I will sell them, all my appletastic treats! Hungry people, they will buy them, caramel apples, apple sweets, and I'll earn a lot of money for the Apple family!" Applejack sang.
"All our dreams and our hopes from now until hereafter, all that we've been wishing for will happen at the Gala! At the Gala!"
""At the Gala, all the royals, they will meet fair Rarity. They will see I'm just as regal at the Gala!" Rarity sung.
"At the Gala!"
"I will find him, my Prince Charming, and how gallant he will be. He will treat me like a lady, tonight at the Gala!" Rarity finished.
"This is what we've waited for to have the best night ever, each of us will live our dreams, tonight at the Gala! At the Gala!"
"Been dreamin', I've been waitin', To fly with those great stars! The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks, spinning round and having kicks! Perform for crowds of thousands! They'll shower us with diamonds! The Wonderbolts will see me right here at the Gala!" Rainbow Dash sang.
"All we've longed for all we've dreamed, our happy ever after! Finally will all come true! Right here at the Grand Gala, At the Gala!"
Pinkie Pie then began to sing. "I am here at the Grand Gala! For it is the best party! But the one thing it was missing was a pony named Pinkie! For I am the best at parties, all the ponies will agree! Ponies playing, ponies dancing! With me at the Grand Gala!"
"Happiness and laughter at the Gala, At the Gala!"
It was Twilight's turn now. "At the Gala, with the Princess, is where I'm going to be! We will talk all about magic and what I've learned and seen. It is going to be so special, as she takes time just for me!"
"Into the Gala we must go, we're ready now, we're all aglow! Into the Gala, let's go in and have the best night ever! Into the Gala, now's the time! We're ready and we look divine!
"Into the Gala!"
"Meet new friends!" Fluttershy sang.
"Into the Gala!"
"Sell some apples!" Applejack sung.
"Into the Gala!"
"Find my Prince!" Rarity sang.
"Prove I'm great, as a wonderbolt is!" Rainbow sang.
Then everyone sang, "Into the Gala! Into the Gala! And we'll have the best night ever!"
