Prince of Princes:

I have asked Pinkie Pie. There will be a party for Discord, that much is certain. Now I just need to secure the next part of my plan.

I still need to ask Apple Jack, Flutter Shy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Spike and Discord himself, before I can have a castle set up. I may have to ask Celestia, Luna and Cadence later, before I can name him the next prince, but I can have him a party and a castle on my own.

I had decided to trot over to the Carousel Boutique, where I knew Rarity would spend most of her active time. Creating Fashion is still her passion, just as Generosity is her element. The connection to my castle had created a much appreciated boom to her business, which demands much of her time.

Once I got over to the Boutique, I found her where I had expected her to be. Thankfully she is in the back, sipping on a cup of tea. She apparently had a moment to spare, which is very convenient to me. The chime went off, as expected, thus earning me a response from the back.

“Greetings, Twilight Sparkle. What earned me the honour of having you in my humble Boutique?” she merely greeted me.

“Hi, Rarity. I just thought it was time we hosted our first official Party at the castle of Ponyville. I incited Pinkie Pie to start up some preparations. I will need a new suit for the occasion. I expect the rest of our friends should have a suit for the party as well. It may not be quite as prestigious and fancy as the 'Grand Galloping Gala' at the royal castle at Canterlot, but since it will be at our castle, it warrants a new suit for all of us!” I pointed out.

“I take it I am the Pony to create all the suits? I could as well turn this into a new opportunity to show off my talents. Let us see, there are six suits for us, there is the suit for Spike. Are there any others you expect to need a suit?” Rarity enquired.

“For now, I have invited one more. I don't know if our new Prince accepts, I need to ask him in person. He isn't officially named yet. He is at least nicer than a certain Prince from the Gala we attended at Canterlot. Besides, it isn't as if any other Pony would be likely to accept the Castle anyway. I plan to have it erected on the far side of the forest of Everfree. At least he was kind enough to help us out with our latest incident!” I pointed out.

”I take it you asked Pinkie Pie already. She certainly had to agree to the party, am I right? I will be only too happy to create the suits for us to wear at the party. It would be an official party, where we can showcase Ponyville for all to see. You will need to invite numerous important Ponies, not just Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Shining Armour. I guess I will have to deal with Prince Blueblood again, even if it may be fun, since we will be in our very own castle!” Rarity suggested.

“Yes, Pinkie Pie is preparing the party as we speak, it would be a grand event for us of Ponyville. I'm glad you agree to creating our suits. Now the party can be as royal and dignifying as is called for!” I concluded.

“I was expecting her to enjoy throwing our party. If only I could see the faces of certain Ponies when they read the invitation. Princess or not, I'm only a Pony. I will do my best to put off enough time to have the suits read as soon as possible. I have to make this perfect!” Rarity responded.

“They are bound to tell us, one way or the other. I imagine they will have problems explaining why they wouldn't come, I'm a Princess now. Besides, we saved their collective behinds, just the other week, didn't we? Furthermore, it's our first Royal party here!” I exclaimed with a wicked grin spreading all over my face.

“We just need to be watchful when we greet them. We will be greeting them all personally by the door. You are inviting Prince Blueblood, I hope, not that I am looking forwards to seeing him, just that I will enjoy seeing his face, when he has to be polite to us for a change. This time he can not look down at us, we are actual Princesses this time. I know how to make the suits, since I have seen what we are looking for now!” Rarity replied, grinning back, with a grin on her face as well.

“A certain Wonder bolt will be ecstatic though. Unless Apple Jack refuses to handle the Pies, at least. Just hope she will agree to take care of that part now!” I pondered, still grinning from ear to ear, thinking back at the situation.

“You better dash over to her right away. Now I want to host this party!” Rarity exclaimed.

“You are talking about Soarin, right? Yes, he certainly loves Apple Jacks Pies. I think we should have a few set aside for him, just to make sure he can enjoy them as royally as is appropriate for this occasion. If you mean you are inviting Discord, that will be a riot. Now I can see it before me. Flutter Shy certainly did a good job, teaching him to be a good friend. Maybe this will be the perfect way of telling him how much we appreciate him too. He certainly does have a few tricks to put Blueblood in place!” Rarity put forth with a small grin on her face.

“Soarin, yes. He is a very nice Pegasus, I think. Besides, we will have to invite the entire group of Wonderbolts to the party. We need them to perform, at the party at some point, as well. Yes, Discord is the Prince I had intended to invite. You are quite correct, Flutter Shy did an exemplary job, teaching him friendship. I think we can relay on him putting your 'friend' in his rightful place. He practically wrote the book on the subject, for all we know. Now, I will have to instruct Spike to write and send off all the invitations, in time for every pony to be here in time for our first party!” I pondered.
