Prince of Princes:

I had stopped before her cottage, resting, while I focused on what to ask her and what I was to tell her. She is a dear friend and I trust in her judgement.

She is the kindest one I know, Ponies or others. There just is no way of being kinder. She is so kind, she goes out of her way in order to be kind, even when she has to be mean in order to be kind. Just as she stare down the meanest of Dragons in order to stand up for a little critter in her care.

I like to be around her and care about her as well as what she thinks. Now I have to go to see her in order to ask her what she thinks of what I was about to set up. Even if I hope she didn't have a reason for me to drop it all. It feels as if I had put in too much effort and work into the project to just let go of it. Though I guess I could change the plans in order for them to work.

In the end, I had to approach her in order to ask her, or forever stay in place, going nowhere and get nothing done. I just couldn't worry about it quite that much. With that I moved forwards, stepping forwards and knocked on her door in order for her to know I am here.

“Who's there?” a small voice enquires from within the building, letting me know she was actually home.

“Princess Twilight Sparkle!” I responded in a more official tone of voice that made me giggle as I had presented myself to my friend.

“Just a moment!” Angle Bunny pronounced in response as Flutter Shy finished up, what she had been doing.

Angle Bunny had been on the bossy side of her group of charges, never had quite expected him to step up in this manner, though. His response made me giggle outright, there was no escaping it.

“Sorry, I kept you waiting!” Flutter Shy apologized, once she finally did get to the door and allowed me to enter her home.

“No problem. No problems at all. For you, I can wait, while you do what you had to do. Although I had a small detail I wanted to ask of you. An event I have put up for far too long. There are just a few small details I need your reaction on!” I pointed out as Angle Bunny had closed the door behind me.

“Thank you, Twilight. You know how I always worry about something and particularly in some more awkward situations. I guess it is good I have Angle, he can be quite helpful, when he is in the mood. What was it you wanted to ask me about? Something important came up?” she responded in her more usual quiet voice.

“You are quite welcome, though you are far too kind. I thought I worried enough for the both of us, and then some for the rest of our friends, but I know you are worrying too, as much as it rarely is called for in the end. My castle needs a real party, it is just a matter of who we invite, but I had intended to invite Discord, particularly since he had become our friend, mainly thanks to you, Flutters. There is just a matter of formality in how to present him and how to explain why he was invited in the first place. I was considering to give him, what he suggested, which would be both a prank and an award on his end. I guess some of our friends would love one side or it, or the other. He certainly could live up to it, if he wants to, also thanks to you!” I responded, in a more stately tone.

“Yes, the castle would need the party. I imagine both Pinkie Pie and Rarity would enjoy the preparations on their respective ends of it. Just as Apple Jack would love to supply everything related to her side. Then Rainbow Dash would love the excuse for us to invite the Wonderbolts. It isn't as if they could ignore the invitation now. It would be hard enough for them to find an excuse, not to attend, since you would pick the date where they couldn't just refer to other things that would be more important!” Flutters responded.

“Yes, Pinkie Pie is all excited over this new event. I imagine Rarity is excited as well, in her very own ways and for her reasons. Obviously, it is Apple Jack who will supply all the apple treats. We couldn't avoid inviting the Wonderbolts, even if we wanted to punish Rainbow dash in this manner. I was hoping you would like to see Discord, in this capacity. Then I just need to hoof him a castle of his own, he couldn't be a Prince if he had no castle, right?” I pointed out.

“Naturally, I asked Pinkie Pie first, maybe because I knew what she would say, short of the exact reasons why she was going to love it, that is. Then I asked Rarity, who was also enjoying the idea. Apple Jack was all right there with me as well. Since you don't have any problems with the party, I just need to ask Rainbow dash, before I make sure Discord will be there and behave himself on the party. If he goes along, we need a final discussion in order to make the final decisions. From there it would just be to invite our guests and the party can take place!” I explained.

“Just curious, you do have a location for his castle, it would make a difference to him, when you get to asking him. Maybe you should ask the other Princesses, since you are going to invite them all to our party, right?” Flutter Shy puts forth.

“I had intended for his castle to be on the outskirt of the other side of the Everfree forest. I may still have to ask him for some minor help on this project too. We couldn't avoid inviting the Princesses, or the party would not count. It would all be for naught. An empty and pointless gesture. It would actually be worse than not having the party at all!” I pondered.

“If you ask Discord for help with where his castle would be erected, I am sure it would convince him we are serious and mean business. Just as we can't have this party, if we haven't invited all the Princesses. If we don't have them along, it would mean that they are not supporting you as a Princess in the first place. Besides, I think they could help us with a few detail along the way!” Flutter Shy confirmed.

“Then I ill just have to ask him, since I will have to ask him if he would enjoy being on the party in the first place. Just as he had to be on the party, for what I had in mind, even if the party doesn't require him at this point. Yet, since he is our friend and all he did for us in our latest crisis, I still do need him there. This will be a blast, because we are making it that way. I'll just ask Dash and Discord. I trust you to get your changes cared for, if Angel Bunny does that part, I guess that would be all the better!” I summarized.

“I am looking forwards to see how this will turn out. I'll see you soon enough, too, Twilight. You had better go see Rainbow Dash, now!” Flutter shy responded.

“Yes, I'll see you soon. Most likely with the rest of our friends all gathered!” I said as I left her home, Angle closed the door after me, before I had even realised it.

With that, I trotted home, pondering the conversation I just had had with Flutter Shy. It sure had gone as well as I had expected. She had added her suggestions to what I had already planned.
