caliber grinned, and took it. "thanks, brah!" he said cheerfully, pocketing it. "ill be sure to pay ya back! and tell ya how it goes!"

 

he ran off in the direction of the shop, and simply demanded 'the most expensive, striking, regal suit you got' and paid with a golden bit. 

 

of course, he had to carry a fair amount of gems, and three giant bags of bits back to his house, and even then, he was told 'they'd get the rest of the money tomorrow.'

 

...makes you wonder how rich naga's friend is.

 

but he got home, dumped the outrageous pile of money on his bed, got into the suit, and ran back out.

 

of course, this time, he took it slow. didnt wanna trip or something, and mess it up.

 

he neared the ball with a with a striking attire. 

 

all within the time sleight had put. which was roughly a half-hour.

 

he grinned. this was probably the fanciest he'll ever get.

[Not Yellow Diamond 925]

"Night Tracer, you know very well why I look like this." Celestia sighed, and her Stalliongrad accent evaporated mid-sentence. Her glasses magically vanished and disappeared into thin air as well. All that was left was the plain, pretty pegasus, and she regarded him sadly.

 

"As Sunny Days, ponies want to get to know me. They want to know me, Night Tracer; they don't care about crowns, or titles, or the fact that i'm an alicorn. They can have fun, talk to me, act normally. They can be themselves."

 

She turned her head and spared a glance back towards the crowd, before she turned back to Night Tracer. Her voice dropped to a whisper.

 

"What do I get out there, as Princess Celestia? Everypony crowding me simply because of my title? Forced bows and smiles? Ponies faking polite conversation with me because they're afraid i'll stick them in a dungeon somewhere if they so much as disagree with me? Is that what you want for me? Is that what you think makes me happy?"

 

She shook her head, as if she had already made up her mind.

 

"No. My ponies need Princess Celestia, and they'll have her until I pass from this world into the next. But they don't need her now. Not tonight."

----

 

Night Tracer looked at her, without understanding but trying his best to empathize. He spoke softly, "Celestia, I'm... I'm sorry but, I'm going to ask for a lot. But before I do I just want to tell you what I think." He started off.

 

"I can't imagine how it feels, until I am in the same position you are... Which is still an option... Whenever you get around to it?" He grinned but quickly retorted it; "Sorry, not the time for jokes."

 

He thought for a moment before speaking again, he walked towards her and put his hooves upon her shoulders, and looked her in the eye. Just a few inches away from her. "I know it must be hard but never showing these ponies who you really are, means they'll never know. If you go out and "act" like the amazing mare that you are then... They'll soon forget "princess" and start thinking about "Celestia" but right now they aren't thinking of either." He explained, showing empathy.

 

"I'm not going to make you do anything, Celly, but I'm going to tell you this. I can enjoy my dinner with my friend or whoever you may be. Just know I don't think any less of you, even if it'd mean a lit for you to trust me. And believe me, when I say trust me, I mean it. And you better bet I'll give it my all to follow through. Ok?" He asked now backing away from her, "I'll be sitting at our table, waiting. I'll order you a glass of wine, but I pour a bit more for friends then I do strangers," he winked and walked away.

 

He sat down at their table and pulled out a menu, "This, will be interesting..."

[J.R. 3,183]

After the incident with the cloud, and several others, Electron Wave Storm was tired and bored. He didn't feel sleepy yet, so that wasn't an option. He also didn't get a ticket to the party, so he just started to walk around the town, "I can't believe how much of an unnecessary asshole I've been to everyone. And for what? All because I stopped being friends with Ice? That's not cool at all. But because of that stupid cloud, I don't even care about others. But my conscienceis still here. I guess I should probably say sorry to everyone, but not now, I don't think I'd be accepted after what I did."

 

"Jackie seemed like a good example of what they call 'friends'. But that's not who I am. I am a naturallly born tough-guy-turned-into-a-jerk. I'm gonna need some work on my social skills if I plan to make things right. I just wish I could take back what I did before, and try to fit in around here."

 

He continued to sadly walk, and eventually fly around the arena, contemplating what decisions to make with his life.

 

"Can I change who I was....?"

[Little Red 1,529]

 

 

Violet she smirked. apparently, she was gonna win. her martial arts were just in a different league. when she kicked, and the griffon tried to slash at her legs, and simply jumped straight up, letting her wings take her a little high, doing a quick front-flip, and brought down her other hind leg down on the griffon's neck. unless she was fast, or more durable then normal, then... violet grinned. victory was certain.
Ruby "oh! the partys starting!! c'mon, red!" ruby exclaimed, as she dashed in the direction that apparently everyone else were going. "we must not be late, for we are the guests of honor!!" they arrived at the entrance soon, and got in without no problem thanks to ruby's quick hooves. "we're in!!" she squealed, then said the same thing in a deeper voice.

Bjorg

Bjorg looked up as Violet suddenly became airborne and began flying towards her. Damn. She is fast. Bjorg flipped on her back, lying on the ground, and let the kick hit her face again. She didn't mind kicks hitting her face, but her neck fur wasn't very thick and couldn't provide defense against blows. Not that her face fur could, either.

 

She felt pain as something definitely broke. Oh, well. She snapped at Violet's hoof with her beak, hoping to grab it.

Red

"Good job," Red said, grinning. Ruby definitely had good instincts when it came to breaking the law. She looked around in awe. "Celestia, this is a big event."

[Fractured 2,684]

Rain Shadow floated down next to the mare. She waited by her while she ate, though she wasn't interested in the cobs in the slightest.

 

"Actually, yeah, i'm here without a date. Apparently, i'm just not pretty enough for some lucky stallion. Or mare, I don't judge," she said off-handedly, mostly talking to herself at that point. She decided to turn the conversation back to Lektra, before she ended up losing a potential friend. It wouldn't be the first time.

 

"Anyway, i'm Rain Shadow, the pegasus. It's nice to meet you," she finished as held out what she hoped was a confident hoof.

Sleight Mist was there exactly where she said she would be, at the front of the entrance to the hall. She wore a drop-dead dark blue ensemble, and she grinned from ear to ear as she saw him approach.

 

"You're here, and you look fantastic," she remarked as she checked him out. "So... you ready to go in?"

 

--------

 

"Actually, yes, I would like a drink. Just a small glass, though. Sherry Amontillado."

 

She smiled openly at him.

 

it's okay by the way, Ice Blizzard. It's actually nice to see a stallion with a sense of style. It's incredibly rare nowadays," she replied as she reflected rather unfondly on how that was all too true.

 

--------

 

Sunny Days stopped, thinking hard about what Night Tracer had said to her. All the while, that little word kept floating around in her mind, teasing her.

 

Trust.

 

She had promised to trust Night Tracer, had given her word. So why couldn't she do it now? She looked out towards the crowd of ponies, hesitation pulling at her like the weight of the sun itself...

 

Moments later, a bright flash of light lit up the dark corner of the room, though it was only visible to those who happened to be paying attention. Moments later, Princess Celestia strode out, pulling up a seat across from Night Tracer

 

"I guess i'll have that drink then," she said, pulling up the menu. She wasn't smiling; she was anxious.

Violet POV

 

violet frowned. she wasn't expecting her to survive the hit. and she didnt recover fast enough to dodge the beak that had just clamped on her leg.

 

"YOW!!"

 

violet started thrashing, "lemme go!"

 

Ruby POV

 

she grinned. "i know!" she said, heading in. "isnt it amazing?"

he smirked. "i know i look good." he said, walking with her. "not as good as you, but still."

Bjorg

Bjorg only clamped harder and began pulling, dragging Violet down. She tugged hard suddenly to the side, trying to swing Violet to the ground. The bridge of her muzzle really hurt...

---

Red

Red suddenly noticed-- "Celestia," she said softly, in awe. She'd never seen the princess before. The princess came to parties like this..? She shook herself out of her awe-struck thoughts. "Let's find a place to sit," she said, now serious. "Do you think all these tables are reserved?" she added, suddenly nervous. "How do we find out which table's ours..?" Breaking in was so stressful...

[P-Jay 1,987]

@@Little Red, 

 

violet growled, and brought her hoof down on the beak that was clamped on her leg. "let go!!"

 

                                                                                      

 

ruby looked at celestia. knowing full well everything thats gonna happen in the next twenty years or so, and wondering if she should give her a heads-up.

 

"...so regal..." she murmurs. 

 

she registers the fact that red asked which table. "we just...pick one, i guess." she said, sitting down at a random one.

[Little Red 1,529]

@,

Bjorg

Bjorg got kicked once more, straight in the beak. She automatically let go. "Ow!" She grumbled, rubbing her beak. She opened her wings and charged up at Violet, one talon ready to catch and kicks, the other clenched into a fist to punch Violet in the gut.

Red

Red hastily sat down beside her, looking around. They seemed to be one of the first inside. She recognized some of the ponies coming in, but couldn't place names on any of them. She couldn't get over how big this place was...

[Unicorncob 5,677]

Lorec, arms crossed and now profusely bleeding from the mouth as both his internals were being strained and from Tyra's blows. Chuckling to himself, he spoke.

 

" I'm not so sure, myself. All I know is, is that Viruden has spoken to me. He says that it is time for me to ' ascend '... You see, I've never taken the power of the Ursa King beyond the second stage, which is the soul infusion that you have seen putting great strain on my body in exchange for greater rending of earth, and a massive increase in strength. Of course, against you, it is not enough..."

 

He said, grinning. He looked over his shoulder, and towards the newly formed crevice.

 

" This pit, Tyra... It is a representation of my hunger. And that hunger is nearly insatiable. My hunger for fighting, and my thirst for raw power... I'm not afraid to admit that those are apart of me anymore. I've spent so much time fighting myself, trying to say ' no, I'm better than this.' But alas, I am not..."

 

He then turned his head back to Tyra, and spoke.

 

" I have... No inkling as to what happens next, Tyra. The only thing I know to do now... Is completely immerse myself in my greed."

 

It was then that the primordial soul slowly ejected itself from his chest. Lorec, reaching for it, grabbed on to it as only he could, and held it in front of him, looking down at it, mesmerizied in thought. Then, looking back at Tyra, he... Took a small step backward... Toward the crevice. What was he doing... Was he planning to throw himself off of the ledge?!?

 

Tyra's eyes widened at Lorec's explanation. What was he doing to himself? Was he really willing to put his body-- no, his life on the line for this fight?!

 

No, she refused to have such a warrior go through so much suffering in her name. He had already proven himself as a worthy opponent to her many times over, this was just not necessary.

 

"My friend, stop!" She yelled, advancing toward him as he held the soul before him, "There is no need to go this far! You are tearing your body apart, I can see it from here!"

"Don't get me started about falcons!" Rainbow dash said a little bit more loudly than she should have. Her miniature rant was stopped, however, when Lightning Strike did something that should have been, by all rights, impossible. Rainbow Dash stopped backstroking and looked up in astonishment.

 

"Wait, wha-? How did you do that?" she asked, confused. Pegasi were supposed to able to alter weather, but Lightning Strike had just created her own out of nothing. And it was amazing.

 

--------

 

"We should," she replied with a grin of her own. She tilted her head to the side, and it faded a little.

 

"But not like this. They have a dress code, and they won't let us in like this. Meet me by the front in 30 minutes, Caliber." she said, walking off.

 

"I'll be waiting."

 

-------

 

Rarity was impressed; in 20 seconds, Ice Blizzard had already done better than that horrid beast Blueblood. They were off to a wonderful start.

 

"Thank you, Ice Blizzard it's so nice to see a gentlepony nowadays." She sat down in her chair, pulling it up, before reaching for a menu. She leafed through it, before arriving at a suitable selection.

 

"I think... i'll have the apple steaks," she said finally as she placed the menu down. "What will you have?"

She was still grinning. then she responded "it's kinda like a power that I have, it's almost like I'm the Pegasus of lightning" she said, the laughed at her little 'Pegasus of lightning' joke. Then she flew up on top of the cloud she had just formed, still smiling

[Vae Victis 742]

Tyra's eyes widened at Lorec's explanation. What was he doing to himself? Was he really willing to put his body-- no, his life on the line for this fight?!

 

No, she refused to have such a warrior go through so much suffering in her name. He had already proven himself as a worthy opponent to her many times over, this was just not necessary.

 

"My friend, stop!" She yelled, advancing toward him as he held the soul before him, "There is no need to go this far! You are tearing your body apart, I can see it from here!"

Taking another step backwards towards the crevice, he slowly spread his arms out, as if he were about to give a great hug to another. With the soul in one hand, and his other free, The familiar aura once again returned to Lorec. He simply smiled at her, not returning any words. And it was then, that he voluntarily fell backwards into the newly formed crevice, and plummeted into the dark below. Just what was he planning?....

[KAZAS]

 

The griffon, rising from his seat, was greatly shocked in what he had seen! Had Lorec gone mad? What was he planning? He had faith that Lorec was very much alive, and had a plan. However, whatever it was, seemed drastic.

 

Sifana, watching the fight as Syuren held her with his hug, watched silently in terror. Why had he jumped...

 

A collective gasp came from near the keepers of the D.R.O. It was Lorec's branch of the acolytes. They had been cheering him on as they watched the two in brutal battle. But now, of course, they could not comprehend what they had just seen...

Tyra suddenly burst into a sprint as she saw Lorec toppling into the crevice. "STOP!!" She yelled.

 

But it was too late, he had soundlessly fallen into the dark abyss.

 

She skidded to a halt at the edge of the pit, squinting as she peered inside. She saw neither hide nor hair of her opponent...

@,

 

Fluttershy had thrown on her old gala dress that Rarity made her and was out the door to the gala after she cooed goodbye to all of her little critter friends who waved her goodbye as she left.

 

She approached the venue and saw Kevin at the entrance. She walked up to him and smiled without saying a word, hoping he would first initiate contact. 

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Another waiter came and poured Rarity some Sherry in her glass, and Blizzard, just regular champange. After Rarity was finished he replied, "Thanks. Yeah, it does kinda suck how uncommon that is, doesn't it? But then again, things are better when they're a rarity. Haha. I mean, when I was younger I wanted to be like, a scientist or whatever, then I got my ice powers from a crystal, and then sorta focused on art. Hence, my sculptures."

 

He laughed, before sipping the champange from his glass, "But after all that art stuff, I just decided to embrace my I like most: Combat. Hehe! I realized that after a while, fighting was my shtick. I guess my grandpa's training really helped. Buut if the time calls for it, I still can make a really mean sculpture."

 

"But uh, let's talk about you, Rarity." he said, confiently, "I've always liked your designs for mares, but I've always wondered if you did clothes for stallions. Then my buddy Caliber told me how you fixed his cape, and I thought, 'Hm. That's pretty amazing what she can do'. You know Rarity, if you ever have a line of stuff for stallions, I'd be happy to...you know...try them on and whatnot for you, if you want."

-------------------

@,

Kevin saw Fluttershy approaching. He had never had a date before, and welcomed the idea, but this was a 2-bird-with-one-stone situation, due to his suspicions of something going wrong at this party. "You look great," he said simply, "Let's go inside."

She skidded to a halt at the edge of the pit, squinting as she peered inside. She saw neither hide nor hair of her opponent...

It was then that an extremely potent light immediately shot through the opening of the crevice, along with an exponential amount of raw power, brownish-gold. An indication that Lorec was very much alive...

 

The force of the raw amount of energy was quite possibly enough to knock anyone on their backside. And, from the crevice... Something was stirring.

And indeed, Tyra was knocked back onto her rump from the sudden burst of raw energy. She shielded her eyes from the blinding light with one foreleg, while other had its hoof on her helmet to keep it from flying off.

 

The earth beneath her shook and quaked as something stirred in the pit...

“I...what...how?!” Ash stammered once again dumbfounded; somehow this pony knew where Ash’s hoard was located and Ash was meticulous about keeping it a secret. He just sat there staring at the pink pony with his mouth agape, “There… there is no way you guessed all of that!”

The quaking of the earth would eventually cease, and the light from the crevice would eventually fade away. However, it was evident that this silent prelude was but only a calm before the storm. Nothing but dead silence...

Without any semblance of warning... A large, golden object came shooting out of the crevice, and seemingly latched on to the edge of the opening. Upon closer inspection, it was a massive paw, slamming down and causing tremors in the surrounding area! The paw itself was massive in scale, nearly rivaling the size of a house in itself! It had smashed into the ground approximately 20 feet away from where Tyra had been knocked away! It was surging with pure energy from the soul, and even seemed somewhat metaphysical!

 

And it was then that this seemingly gargantuan creature poked its head out of the crevice, trying to climb back to ground level for all to see... It was that of an Ursa... An Ursa Major, golden in appearance, with white eyes that could send fear through any prey. Having a clear glimpse of Tyra, the great beast roared with an ungodly amount of force, and closed it's mouth, continuing in snarling. It was then that a deep, distorted version of Lorec's voice could be heard.

 

" Krigare Tyra!!!! Here I am! "

 

It was then that the great golden Ursa pulled up on the Cliff using his left paw, and the right one then came into view, rising from the crevice along with much of the great Ursa's body! The great bear was coming for Tyra!

[Dust and Memories 557]

"Understood, milady." Wilhelm mock-bowed and turned to fly off, proceeding to realize too late that there was a brick building right behind him, which he had been about to fly straight into. "Wrong direction. Oops." Turning in the right direction now, he flew off to his house, doing a barrel roll midair for the absolute heck of it. Admittedly, he never felt as alive as he felt when he was flying, though he imagined that the act of copulation might feel similar. The wind streaming past his wings, his mane flying free, the wonderful sense of altitude... sometimes, he could understand why his sister spent all her time either in the air or singing.

 

Landing back at his house after what could be considered a far too short time in the air, Wilhelm swung open the door (Room 211, to be specific), and, locking the door behind him, caught sight of himself in a mirror. Whistling lowly, Wilhelm muttered "Yeah, I have a lot of work to do." First, he took off his dirty clothes and took a short shower, washing off the accumulated dirt and sweat of the day. Stepping out after around five minutes, he dried himself off and combed his mane into a carefully maintained sweep, taking a bit of extra time to correct the part until his mane was as perfect as he could make it. Considering Wilhelm wasn't a professional manedresser, this wasn't that much, but it would pass muster for a high-class party.

 

Secondly, he took his dress uniform from its hanger on the door, already ironed and prepared for the party tonight, as Wilhelm had anticipated Annette accepting his invitation, though as all stallions likely do, he had no idea whether anything would go to plan when it included a mare. Buttoning the pure white coat up and affixing the golden insignia of rank to his collar, he also took his sword from within his heap of clothes, gave its edge a quick swipe with a nearby whetstone, and cleaned both edges with a watered cloth. Buckling it to his belt, he saw the time and cursed- he only had a few minutes to meet Annette at the party. Carefully checking himself over in the mirror, he adjusted his glasses slightly on his muzzle and pronounced himself fit for the rest of society.

 

Throwing open the door, Wilhelm quickly locked it behind him and spread his wings, flying off towards the concert hall.

CRASH

 

A large paw, about the size of a house, slammed down from inside the crevice out of nowhere. The sudden impact caused Tyra to jump to attention, and she sprinted back a few meters to get some distance.

 

Emerging from the ground was a great golden Ursa monster, definitely the size of an Ursa Major, if not bigger. It roared, sending a gust of wind that nearly blew her away with its sheer force.

It spoke in a low distorted voice as it climbed slowly out of the pit, aiming right for her.

 

Tyra took a deep breath and clenched her axe tighter, giving her hoof a few drags in the dirt before breaking into a sprint right for the monster. Specifically, its paw. If she could leap onto it, she could run up the arm, dealing some blows along the way, and go for a powerful attack to its jaw.

Octavia and Vinyl stood by the door greeting guests as they came in.

 

"Thanks for coming." Octavia said to one mare as she entered. "Seems as if most of the rest rant is already, aren't they?" Octavia inquired, while stepping back beside Vinyl.

 

Octavia scanned the crowd until she spotted Night Tracer sitting at his table, "I wonder who his date is?" She pondered. Vinyl stepped up and motioned that perhaps she was "some knock off," as a joke. Octavia couldn't help but chuckle. "I wouldn't be surprised knowing his taste. You never know." They both laughed.

 

But, to their surprise out came a mare, not just any mare. But the most recognizable, most powerful being in all of Equestria, at ther restaurant. Octavia fainted back and hit the floor while frozen in a shocked pose. Vinyl stood with her mouth agape, "Holy Bitch, Tavey." She stated, waiting for her friend to respond. But instead of asking again she looked down to see Octavia dumbfounded note floor, stuttering trying to find words, "C-C-C-Cel-Cel--," Vinyl face hoofed and shook her head. "Oh Octavia..."

Night Tracer smiled as Celestia say down across from him; the real Celestia. Although she seemed uneasy, he would change that in one way or another.

 

As Celestia requested a passing by waiter poured her a glass, then walked over to Night Tracer to pour him a glass as well; he stopped her kindly, "Uh, sorry, I, uh don't drink." He told her. The mare pulled back the bottle, "The water I have is fine, thank you." He reaffirmed, letting her know she didn't have to do anything. So she walked off.

 

Around the time she left, Night Tracer turned with intent to focus his attention on Celestia but to his and most likely her dismay ponies had gotten close to them from all directions and bowed; while chattering about Celestia.

 

Night Tracer grabbed a piece of bread from the center of the table, "Um, hey, y'all. Uh, I'm flattered. But if I'm not mistaken, y'all came here to eat, and I know you might find it fitting to bask in my presence but it's sort of weirding me out." He explained, while holding a straight face, acting completely serious.

 

Many of the mares and stallions looked at him confusedly, some began standing up and backing away from the strange stallion.

 

Night Tracer dropped the bread in his hoof on his plate and approached the crowd. He walked In front of them and bowed. Many of the ponies raised a brow at him and his behavior, which is exactly what he had hoped. He stood back up and spoke,"Is this strange for you? You're just a pony? Why would I bow to you? Why would you now like you bowed? A mare is still a mare at heart. How many times are you judged constantly off of your job instead of your personality? Not often. You need to look at who someone is, not what they do." Night Tracer explained as he walked back and took his seat. He leaned over and picked up his bread again, "Besides I'm pretty sure if you don't eat and pay, you'll get thrown out... What a waste on money." He cooed and mocked in a playful manner. He looked back at Vinyl who was helping Octavia to her hooves. Vinyl nodded to back up Night Tracer.

 

Ponies chattered and then soon after, dismissed to their tables. Most understanding to some extent with what Night Tracer said but others not thinking much of it. Night Tracer watched as organized chaos was reverted to it's "pre-" stage.

 

"Not as smoothly as I hoped but it's something." He commented, "So, I have a surprise for you but first, I need to order. Any recommendations

"If I look like Canterlot, it's because I am. It shows, doesn't it?" she repled, with more than a hint of pride. But then, her voice dropped as she began recalling the details to her story.

 

"I actually grew up on the poor side, the side that nopony talks about. Mind you, it was still relatively rich compared to the rest of Equestria, but it wasn't fun and games for us. Very elitist, Canterlot, if you've never been there, and my family was made fun of constantly."

 

Her voice rose back to normal then as she lost her somber tone.

 

"But, what did I care? I was talented. My parents knew it, and I knew it. They scrounged up enough money for me to make it into Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns, where I did what I did best; put on a show. I wowed them, even impressed the princesses on one or two occasions, until a mare... I can't quite remember..."

 

She frowned, scrunching her face up in an attempt to remember the details. Eventually, she gave up, and continued the story.

 

"Long story short, I dropped out, and began traveling, putting on spectacular shows for the whole of Equestria. At least until recently, that is." she gave a non-chalant smile, really not stressed about it in the least. As she looked over Aknor's shoulder's, however, her tilted curiously to the side.

 

"Is that...Princess Celestia? Hold on a second." She pulled her chair out and moved away from the table before walking over to meet her. She hardly even noticed her date.

 

"Celestia? Hi, it's Trixie..."

"Actually, that's not a bad idea, the only stallion I really know that can model is Big Mac," Rarity replied, drawing into her own thoughts a little, "And he doesn't really provide the right fit for the standard model, for obvious reasons. But you seem to be just the right height and weight for most of my customers. So maybe..."

 

She realized she was drifting off, and blinked twice before turning back to Ice Blizzard.

 

"Sorry. Tell me, Ice Blizzard, have you ever modeled before?"

"So they're like, your clouds and everything? Cool." Rainbow once again floated up next to her.

 

"So can you control other clouds and make them disappear too? Because let me tell you, you'd go really great for the Weather team. Maybe I can recommend you?" she offered, always glad to have another weather mover on her team.

Anette stopped off at her quarters, and she immediately started to rush around, desperate to get ready and out before the allotted time. Clothes, assorted jewelry and the works quite literally flew around the room as she panicked, and it was only by the grace of the dolls reflexes that they avoided being struck or impaled by anything.

 

She stopped for a moment and stepped into her closet. She tossed some more things around for a moment, before she eventually came out with a dress.

 

"How's this?" She said as she held up the red and black garment, twisting it so that the dolls could get a better view. The mental hisses, boos, and mock vomits told her all she needed to hear.

 

"Okay, maybe not..." she said as she rushed back into the closet. She came out with several different garments, each one being met with general disapproval, until she arrived at one in particular. One that looked so perfect, she couldn't believe that she hadn't thought of it before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Now?" she said as she held it out. All the dolls stared... than seemed to nod in approval then, with the exception of Hero, who had finally managed to climb out from under the clothes pile that he had been buried under prior.

 

"Okay, thanks!" she replied as she rushed back into the closet and fitted it on, possibly breaking a new record for the event. After a few more preparations, styling her hair, and placing on an elegant tiara, she headed for the door. As she stepped out, however, she turned back, looking at her dolls and the enormous mess that she had made in her haste.

 

"Um... could you clean that up for me, please?" she said with a nervous grin, before closing the door behind her. She arrived at the entrance to Octavia's Hall, with exactly five minute to spare.

Sleight Mist took a walk in, and glanced around the large room. To her credit, she was actually slightly impressed; she didn't think it would be near as impressive as anypony said it would be. So far, it was meeting her expectations, and, hopefully, it would continue to do so.

 

She spotted an empty seat somewhere off to her right, and moved over to it. She then turned back to Caliber.

 

"You getting something? I'm paying, so go wild."

Princess Celestia kept a calm face, smiling beautifully as ponies began to crowd around, naturally curious as to why the princess would be here, of all places. She opened her mouth in order to respond, only for Night Tracer to draw off the crowds himself, dispersing them in minutes. She stared, impressed, and she couldn't help but crack a smile at his antics. It was something Starswirl would do...

 

"You know, Night Tracer, you didn't have to do that. I'm not shy about meeting my ponies. It's just, I wish every now and then, they would treat me naturally..."

 

Her attention was caught by a voice somewhere off to her side, and she turned her head. As soon as she spotted Trixie, she smiled, immediately putting on her persona in spite of herself.

 

"Hello, my student. It's been almost a decade since i've last seen you! Night Tracer, this is Trixie, she used to go to my school back when she was a filly.

@,

Blizzard looked up and began twiddling his hooves, "Well...uh..no. actually I haven't. It does sound like it'd be fun though. Hold on, I gotta go use the little colts room."

 

He got up and walked to the restroom. On his way there, he saw Princess Celestia sticking out like a wart on smooth skin. He dismissed it at first as he walked into the restroom. After finishing, and washing his hooves, he peeked out the door to confirm, "Ho-lee-sh*t! She's here. Better make sure this goes right with Rarity."

 

As he walked out the bathroom, he looked at Celestia from across the room and gave her a smug look and a salute to say something along the lines of, "Good job, Celly. That's our princess. Don't change who you are!"

 

He made his way back to his table and sat down across from Rarity, "Looks like we got a live one." he said as he 'pointed' his eyes to where Celestia was sitting, "I hope we can all make friends with her on a sociable level."

 

He then looked towards Rarity, "But even though I haven't done it before, I'd love it if I could model for you." He laughed a little as he brushed back his mane, "Maybe I could get my photo in one of your magazines? Haha, but seriously, it sounds pretty fun, and I think you'd get great publicity if you use a stallion, because you'll have female, AND male customers lining up at your door, and you'd be raking in bits. Heck, if you wanted, I could probably start for you tomorrow afternoon, and model a few things for you."

 

He looked her over again, she looked like an angel that had just fallen from heaven whom Ice felt needed somepony to 'keep her warm'. He spoke again, "A-and not to mention, you've always worked so hard for others, yet kept yourself looking so se-- I-I mean, beautiful, that it's amazing! But the fact that you've been working so hard, I think it's time that somepony gave back to you, you know? It's to the point where I'd do anything for you if you needed help." he said, slightly blushing.

"You getting something? I'm paying, so go wild."

caliber nodded, and walked to the buffet, getting a rather big plate, but not too big. after all, he didnt wanna spend all her money. he made another, smaller one for sleight.

 

he made his way back to the table, making sure non of the food got onto his jet-black suit. 

 

"hungry?" he asked, handing her a plate. 

 

Bjorg

Bjorg got kicked once more, straight in the beak. She automatically let go. "Ow!" She grumbled, rubbing her beak. She opened her wings and charged up at Violet, one talon ready to catch and kicks, the other clenched into a fist to punch Violet in the gut.

Red

Red hastily sat down beside her, looking around. They seemed to be one of the first inside. She recognized some of the ponies coming in, but couldn't place names on any of them. She couldn't get over how big this place was...

 

violet barely had any time to make sure her leg was okay, before that griffon was charging again. once again, she was caught off-guard, and took the punch to the gut. 

 

okay, this was starting to get annoying. violet snarled, reaching out to hold the griffon in a bear-hug. this griffon was gonna learn not to underestimate ponies.

 

Ruby

 

ruby had gone over to the buffet, as to snag a few plates. when she saw...

 

oh my.

 

ruby had frozen, with her mouth slightly open, gaping at caliber. it was him! the guy who saved her village, taught her, was her first real friend! he was...alive...

 

some pony behind her rudely commented how she was hogging the salad, and she snapped out of her little trance. meeting, or really, re-meeting caliber can wait.

 

she headed back to red with a large plate of food.
