Chapter 1: Preparations

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was a just about average day for the cititzens of Ponyville, the sun was shining, profits were good, and no life threatening crisis was taking place. For Rainbow Dash, the day just got a little more interesting...

She was flying high above Town Hall, just brushing past the huge clock tower. She soared at a breakneck pace, her signature rainbow trail following her. Reaching the train station, she couldn't help put hover over and watch for any potential ponies she could hang out with that could get off of the train. Hey.... who's that mare? She's... different.

When Rainbow saw the blue mare with the hot pink mane step out of the train, a rush of emotions surged through her brain at one time, but the only one she could express was..."I gotta go tell the others!!!" she said aloud, making a dash for Sugarcube Corner, where her friends were enjoying a nice breakfast together.


The train came to a sudden halt, jolting Solaris from her nap and nearly knocking her out of her seat. Re adjusting herself, she stood up and trotted slowly towards the exit. She stepped outside and her jaw almost hit the floor for the second time today. "Everything.. I-its so vivid! And everypony seems so happy!!! Wow this... this is amazing!" she said aloud. Taking a quick look at the sky, she noticed a cyan mare with a rainbow colored mane staring in her direction before suddenly taking off towards somewhere in town.That was strange, I wonder who she is? She reminds me of....
"Rainbow Dash!!!!???" she exclaimed in disbelief. no no no no no that couldn't be her, there is no way! I mean is there?


Making a less than graceful landing in front of the bakery, Rainbow trotted inside and found her friends seated in a table in the back. She swiftly took her seat between Twilight and Rarity, where a half eaten muffin greated her. "Back already Dash? I figure your 'morning flights' would take longer than a few minutes..." Twilight asked. "Well I just saw something that's gonna make today 20% cooler! I saw this new looking pony at the train station, she looks like she's new to Equestria!" Rainbow said. Applejack snorted accusingly and raised her eyebrow at Dash. "Now what in tarnation' are ya sayin? What could be so darn great?" she mused. Rainbow narrowed her eyes in a death glare. " This new pony is in town and I just thought we could give her a little welcome... but if you find that funny then go ahead then..." Rainbow muttered in Applejack's direction.

"Now wait just a darn minute! This ain't my fau-"

"A new pony in town, wellwhydidn'tyousaysoRainbow! This is so superdupercuddlywuddlyamazing! I gotta throw a party!" Pinkie spewed, oblivious to the incoming arguement. Twilight smiled at Pinkie and waved her hoof in front of everyone to get their attention. "A party is a great idea girls! Pinkie, you plan it as quickly as possible with everyone else while I go and meet our esteemed guest. Rainbow, what did this mare look like?" Twilight lectured. Rainbow raised a hoof to her chin in thought, before rasing it triumphantly. "Oh! She has blue fur, a hot pink mane and tail, and she's a pegasus." Rainbow answered.

Twilight's body froze and all the gears in her mind stopped spinning. In a very loose attempt at keeping her composure, all she could say was a very distraut "WHAT!!!!???" and then in a flash of violet light, she was gone, scorch marks covered where her hoofs were just moments ago. "Oh I hope she's alright..." Fluttershy whispered, shivering against Pinkie Pie. Noticing, Pinkie gave her a hug and some encouraging words. "Hey no worries Fluttershy! Twilight's got it all under control! Now come on, we've got a party to start! Yippee!!!" she said excitedly, dragging Fluttershy into the kitchen, who let out an 'eep' and wore a light blush on her face.

Rarity stood up from her seat and whispered something into Applejack's ear. AJ blushed a deep shade of crimson and then headed for a nearby closet beside Rarity, fetching party supplies and looking very flustered. Rainbow Dash just snickered from her seat and flew arounds lazily. Man when your dating its like you just can control yourself.... thats why The Dash is staying single!


Twilight was making a dash for the train station, galloping as fast as her hooves would carry her. Why didn't I just teleport to the station! Stupid... wait no... focus Twilight!!! This is the mare that the Princess was telling you about just a few days prior! I must make sure her welcome is the best one imaginable!
