Almost New Friends, Not Really
After one minute: "There is one thing you have to do," Starlight Glimmer said to the ponies who had built the homes in the town, "And you must comply." And the workers did so.
Meanwhile, the four ponies who were looking around, Night Glider, Double Diamond, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor were still suspecting suspicious activities. "I know something is up," Party Favor said, "And I can sense the party of un-fun. No animal balloons, I can tell."
"Wow," Night Glider said, "That's was a lousy statement." "Sorry," Party Favor said embarrassed. "This is serious!" Sugar Belle said, "We need to find out what is going on."
"Yes," Double Diamond agreed, and that is when they noticed the worker ponies who had built the town to Starlight Glimmer's desire and plans, but mostly desire. "What's wrong with them?" Double Diamond asked.
"I don't know," Night Glider replied, but then she noticed their cutie marks. "What happened to them?" Sugar Belle asked, "Looks like they've changed their cutie marks." "Also their minds," Night Glider added in, "And smart decisions."
"But how?" Party Favor said, "Something is up with this and I don't want to find out what it is!" "You're right," Night Glider replied, "We'd better find out now." And that's what they were going to do until they had run into Starlight Glimmer.
"Oh, hey," Party Favor said, "How are you doing?" "Oh, doing fine, my friends," Starlight Glimmer answered. "How fine?" Night Glider asked, suspiciously, "You're up to something. Like it involves those worker ponies who had built your town to your liking?"
This is when Starlight Glimmer knew that she would be backed into a corner. "You are my friends!" Starlight Glimmer said, "But there is one thing you must do."
"And what is that?" Double Diamond asked demandingly. "You must give up your cutie marks," Starlight Glimmer said, giving out orders.
"What the?!" Night Glider shouted, but before they could do any more, Starlight Glimmer had cursed the four ponies into doing her bidding. At this point, Starlight Glimmer will start to have her ways.
