Prologue

On the Friendship Express to the Crystal Empire

Rarity is looking over her designs again and looking with a keen eye, "OK, these three dresses that Sapphire Shores wants, are going to require a lot of gems but I think the pattern I wanted to give them is right", she puts the three papers with the designs on them back in her bag and brings out five different papers, "Now let's see... this suit would look good with some onyx and sapphires," she thinks out loud while editing the design, "hmmm... and this sui-".

"RARITY!" shouts a high-pitched filly's voice.

"AH!" shouts Rarity while accidentally throwing the designs, quill, fabric, and bag she was holding with her magic.

The door to the room opens up and a filly with a mane colored purple and pink with it curling up, and a coat as white as Rarity's own, "Oh! Sorry sis..." says the filly with a pout.

"Oh... its quite alright Sweetie Belle," Rarity says to the filly while picking up the items she threw, "no harm was done to anything at all... Oh! What was it you wanted to tell me, Sweetie?".

"... Oh! Right, the conductor says that we would be arriving at the Crystal Empire in 3 minutes!" Sweetie Belle says excitedly. The only time she has visited the Crystal Empire was when she, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Spike all snuck onto the train that took them to the Crystal Empire, but even then she didn't get to see much... and still hasn't told anypony else, not even Rarity.

"Alrighty then, go get your things Sweetie Belle while I get my things ready OK?"

"OK sis." Sweetie Belle says and runs off to her room in the next train car over to collect her things.

"Well I've got to say... that filly seems simply ecstatic about visiting the Crystal Empire, in which I don't blame her, I was curious when I first went there, then more and more ponies went there and..." Rarity trails off in thought while putting her things in her bags.

At the Train Station in the Crystal Empire

"Eagle-eye, Hawk-eye, come in." a pony wearing a brown colored cloak that covers the body, whispers, with the voice that could possibly match Pinkie Pie's, into a headset.

"Eagle-eye here, Ground Leader." says a female voice on the headset.

"Hawk-eye here, Ground Leader." says another female, yet slightly more stronger sounding, voice says on the headset.

"Good, Air Support, Sky Leader, come in."

"Sky Leader here." says a gruff sounding yet soft tone male voice.

"Air Support here." says very low male voice (sounding like flutterguy.) comes from the headset.

"Good, Look-Out, Bait, come in."

"Look-Out here." says a youngish female voice from the headset.

"Bait here." says a voice that tells you that she, the pony, is from Canterlot comes out of the headset.

"Good, are you all in position?"

"Yes ma'am." all the voices say in unison.

"Good, Look-Out how much time until the target arrives at location code name: Post Office?" asks Ground Leader.

"One minute, ma'am." replies Look-Out.

"Good. Then we get the target when she least expects it then get what we need from her," Ground Leader says as his eyes going from chocolate-brown pony eyes, into near ruby red reptilian-like eyes, then back to normal three seconds later, "then we revive our dead king, for we are 'The Shadow's Children'." he whispers into the headset. All the ponies on the other ends of the head set start stomping as silently as possible but audible enough to be heard on the headset.

On the Friendship Express at the Crystal Empire's Train Station

"So Sweetie Belle, after I pick up my shipment of gems and get us a room at an INN, What would you like to do?" Rarity asks.

"Hmmm... I would like to go to the spa, that you've told me about, that they have here." Sweetie Belle replies.

Rarity looks at Sweetie Belle with mixture of shock and amusement, "Really? You don't want to go explore the Crystal Empire to see what they have here that maybe unusual?".

Sweetie Belle starts rubbing her back with her hoof, "That would usually sound like a fun idea but at the moment, that train ride put quite a bit of stress into my body." she says while wincing as she continues to rub her back.

"Oh! Yes of course! I'll get us there right away!" Rarity exclaims as she uses her magic to teleport her and Sweetie Belle to a fancy looking building made out of crystal. "You're going to love their crystal mud bath, it is so soothing for your body that it feels like your body melts in with it." she says as she opens the door to reveal the insides of the spa and the ponies who are working in it.

"Well hello there Rarity, its been a while, hasn't it?" says a crystal pony with a light purplish-pink coat and a dark purple mane.

"Why hello their Fleurist, how's the spa business been going?" Rarity asks the crystal pony.

Fleurist uses her hoof to gesture to the somewhat empty area, "Today's been a lazy day, not many ponies want to go to the spa today I suppose..." sighs Fleurist.

"Well... me and my little sister here have come to have one of your best quality spa treatments, right Sweetie Belle?"

"Right big sis!" she says excitedly while rubbing her back, "Man, my back is killing me... I hope this spa treatment can help with whatever the train ride did to my back."

"Oh I see you just got off the train, did you? Well I think we can fix that." Fleurist says while leading them to the first part of the spa session.

In the back of the Spa

"Ground Leader, this is Look-Out here." says the green cloaked unicorn into a hoof-held radio.

"Ground Leader here, what is your situation?" whispers Ground Leader's voice through the radio.

"I've got visual on the target ma'am."

"Good, where is your location?"

"I'm at location code name: Comfort."

"Hawk-eye, Eagle-eye, target is at location: Comfort."

"Right, I'll be there momentarily." says Hawk-eye's voice.

"Same here, ma'am." says Eagle-eyes voice.

"Good, Look-Out, until Hawk-eye or Eagle-eye have visual of the target, your to not let her out of sight, got it?" says Ground Leader sternly.

"Yes ma'am." replies Look-Out in a low voice.

"Good, let me know anything else you learn while keeping an eye on the target we're going to need all the info we can get."

"Yes ma'am, I'll give you an update in ten minutes, talk to you soon, Ground Leader."

"Good luck out there." says Ground Leader before cutting off of the radio.

~Five minutes later~

"Wow Rarity! You weren't kidding when you said that the Crystal mud bath would be relaxing!" Sweetie Belle happily. "Oh and don't forget about your shipment of gems Rarity... unless you already forgot, didn't you?" Sweetie says while looking at Rarity.

"My... what? Oh... well... we can pick them up on the way to our room, while you took your spa treatment and when mine finished I took the liberty of renting a room in 'Crystal Palace INN', its quite extravagant when it comes to style, but not at all too expensive for me to afford. And it's also a five star hotel, and it being so cheap, thought I might as well because it is good in every single way!" Rarity says excitedly.

"Yay!," cheers Sweetie Belle, "Now nothing can possibly go wrong!"

"You've got that right Sweetie! Now let's hurry and go get those gems."

~Five minutes later~

Outside the Crystal Palace INN

"Ground Leader, this is Hawk-eye here." a black-cloaked unicorn says into a watch-like radio.

"Ground Leader here, anything to report?" says Ground Leader's voice through the wrist-mounted radio.

"Yes it seems like the target is dressing herself to go out to a fancy restaurant and is leaving the little one to have dinner with somepony else perhaps." reports Hawk-eye.

"Alright, where is she going Hawk-eye?"

"Gather everpony behind location code name: CPINN, and then we follow her to ambush her, alright ma'am?"

"Alright Hawk-eye," responds Ground Leader, "Everypony gather behind location: CPINN and we'll ambush the target when we believe nopony is looking alright?" orders Ground Leader.

"Yes ma'am." the other voices say in unison.

In the Crystal Palace INN's Lobby

Rarity is whistling the 'Winter Wrap-Up' tune while wearing vibrant light-blue dress with sapphires on it, it almost seemed to emit the light-blue color. 'I hope this dress is good enough to be seen with Princess Cadence in.' Rarity thinks to herself while walking to her destination: the Crystal Palace. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard a noise like the flapping of wings, so she looks up and finds nothing out and about, 'Either I was just hearing things or maybe that was the pegasus patrol' she shrugged it off and continued walking.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP!" shouts a mare's voice.

Rarity stops dead in her tracks and looks around frantically trying to find the source of the shout.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!" she shouts again.

Rarity turns to her right to find the source of the shouting came from an alley way across the street from and she starts galloping into it. 'This may damage the dress, but somepony is in trouble! Ponies are more important than dresses!. After a minute of galloping into the alley way she comes to the dead end and finds somepony on the ground and recognizes the pony as Ms. Harshwhinny and finds her to be unconscious. "Miss Harshwhinny! Wake up! WAKE. UP!"

Ms. Harshwhinny starts to come around, "Ugh... Wha..? Oh, Miss Rarity, what's going on? What are we doing in an alley?" asks Ms. Harshwhinny.

"I was going to ask you the same thing, but I it seems you have a very minor case of amnesia, only enough to forget what happened here it seems which I guess you're lucky enough to forget only that." Rarity guesses.

"Well, I am a little sore on my head and my legs are killing me, which tells me that I might have been running from somepony or something."

"Well, let's get you to a clinic, do you think you can walk?" Rarity asks with some worry.

"I.. I think I'll live." responds Ms. Harshwhinney.

"Good," Rarity turns towards the way out of the alley, away from Ms. Harshwhinney, "just follow me and we ca-" was the last thing Rarity said before everything went dark for her.

In a basement under a crystal pony's house

There is bowl in the middle of the room filled with some broken parts of... something... and sharp and curved horn that is red at the tip and grey at the base. There is a conjuring circle, colored with white chalk, surrounding the bowl and seven ponies surrounding the circle.

"Is our special guest awake?" asks the mare earth pony in a brown cloak.

"Yes ma'am, she has been awake for two minutes." says Ms. Harshwhinney, while wearing a grey cloak.

"Well let's see how she is faring, shall we?" the green cloaked unicorn says while gesturing to door with a lock on it.

Somepony on the other side of the door is banging on it while shouting, "LET ME OUT YOU RUFFIANS!"

"Ruffians? Hardly. We just... need a favor, since you are the element of generosity, Miss Rarity." says the brown cloaked earth pony.

The banging stops, "L-like w-what?" Rarity says nervously.

"Some of your blood is all we need." deadpans a blue cloaked pegasus.

"W-what?! Why do you need my blood?" asks Rarity.

"Well," begins the brown cloaked earth pony, "you could say we are servants to the true king of the Crystal Empire, King Sombra."

"King Sombra?!" exclaims Rarity, "But, he was destroyed by the Crystal Heart! How can you serve somepony who is already dead?"

"It's quite simple, you see," starts a unicorn in a yellow cloak, "if we gather all of him that was lost in his defeat and prepare a spell to bring him back... he will return as if nothing ever happened."

"But if we are to do this," says another unicorn in a black cloak, while opening the door after unlocking it and grabbing Rarity, whom has a anti-magic ring on her horn, "then we must give him immunity to... the Elements of Harmony. But to have the immunity to something is to have the proper DNA... so..."

"And for him gain the immunity at the moment, is to use my blood..." Rarity finishes the sentence.

"Exactly, so you'll not be able to witness his reawakening because you'll be unconscious for the time being... so..." says the green cloaked unicorn as her horn glows a transparent black and the same aura appears on Rarity's head and then she passes out. Then the same unicorn pulls out a dagger and stabs, not deep enough to kill her, but enough to get blood on the dagger, "Alright, we've got what we want, now it's time for our king's resurrection!".

The gather around the bowl and start chanting in Equestrian, all except for the brown cloaked earth pony whom takes the dagger and walks up to the bowl and drops it in.

When it lands in the bowl, the bowl itself starts to move slightly, "Now to add his highness's power..." she says as she gets back into place and starts chanting as well.

When she starts chanting, the three unicorns in the room (excluding Rarity) stop chanting and start using dark magic on the bowl, then continue to chant while using the magic. Then the content of the bowl start to float and come together, the dagger disintegrates while blood remains floating, then starts to circle within the floating pieces, and the pieces slowly start to come together and create a body.

Then crystal pony guards break into the room along with Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor, and they both notice Rarity unconscious on the other side of the room, "FREEZE! By the law of the Crystal Empire, you are under arrest!" shouts Shining Armor.

When he says that, the green cloaked unicorn teleports both one of the two pegasi out of the room along with herself, the black cloaked unicorn takes Ms. Harshwhinney, and the yellow cloaked unicorn takes the other pegasus with her.

The guards grab the last remaining pony there, they remove the cloak to find that the pony underneath looks almost like Pinkie Pie, but her mane is yellow, her coat is so light that it looks like its white, but with a hint of yellow in it, and her cutie mark is three balloons that are all colored the same, blue. "What are we going to do with her, sir?" asks the one of the guards.

Shining Armor looks at the pony in question, "Take her to the Crystal Palace's dungeons and keep her there for interrogation... Oh and check her from head-to-hoof for anything she would use to kill herself with. And you two guards," Shining addresses the two crystal guards whom aren't taking the earth pony to the dungeon, "take this citizen," he says while gesturing to Rarity, "to the closest clinic and get her there as soon as possible.". The guards salute and take Rarity on to their backs and start heading out of the building.

"What do you think they were doing down here, Shiny?" asks Princess Cadence.

"I don't know what they were doing down here, Cady... but, it was powerful. I just hope Rarity will know or we can get something from the prisoner." Shining responds.

"OK, I just don't want anything bad to happen to us or the kingdom..." Princess Cadence starts to trail off.

"Neither do I, but right now we have to wait for the answers." Shining assures Cadence

"A-alright, but you do know we have to let Twilight and her friends know, right?"

"Yes, of course, I will have a letter sent off to them as soon as possible."

Chapter 1

In the clinic, Room #11

Rarity has woken up to find her little sister, her friends, spike, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor in her room waiting for the results to come back from the doctor. "Ugh... huh? T-Twilight? Spike? Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Prince Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence? What are you all doing here?" Rarity asks, "And... where am I? The last thing I remember..." Rarity goes deep into thought. Then she remembers and goes wide-eyed, "D-did you stop those brutes? Pllleease tell me you stopped them!" Rarity asks desperately.

"Calm down Rarity. We did stop them." Shining Armor informs her.

"Oh... what a relief!" Rarity relaxes back on the bed.

"One question Rarity, just what did we stop?" Princess Cadence asks.

"Wait... you mean you don't know what you two stopped?" Rarity asks Cadence and Shining Armor, to whom both nod their heads. Rarity sighs, "Well... luckily, you stopped the resurrection of King Sombra." Rarity says with a hint of dread.

Everyone in the room didn't move, didn't speak, and went wide-eyed. Then Princess Cadence speaks up, "Y-you mean th-the King Sombra?! B-but, why would anypony want to bring him back?! Especially when he enslaved everypony who lived here one-thousand years ago! Why?" Cadence asks with a little desperation in here voice.

"I-I don't know princess, all I know is that they want to be his servants and want to bring him back. Plus, they used a bit of my blood in the resurrection hoping it would make him immune to the Elements of Harmony." Rarity says with some worry.

"Well... in any case, we stopped them that's all that matter right now. But I'm hoping to learn more about this cult from our prisoner that we are interrogating." Shining Armor assures.

"Wait... you captured one of the cult members? Was it Miss Harshwhinney?" Rarity asks.

"Yes we did, and no it wasn't Miss Harshwhinney... was she a member, too?" Shining Armor asks

"Yes I do believe so... she was there if I recall correctly... there were seven ponies in the room when you came in right?"

"Actually..." as Rarity has a back-and-forth with Shining, Cadence and the rest of the Mane 6 are talking, "Soooo... how have things been in the Crystal Empire for you Cadence?" Twilight asks.

"Besides the latest event... predictable..." Princess Cadence replies with a yawn, "Things have been going so well here that everyday, things were a little, too predictable. So what happened here should be interesting." says Cadence with a small smile on her face.

"Maybe... heck, maybe there's even a somepony, that we know, is going to appear soon!" Pinkie Pie says loudly.

"Huh? Like who?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"Can't tell you or I'll spoil it." Pinkie replies.

Rainbow rolls her eyes,"Pinkie... you are so, random.".

"By the way. Rarity," Cadence gets Rarity's attention, then continues, "I'm quite curious, how did you get captured by that cult? I'm pretty sure they couldn't have just jumped you without you fighting back." Cadence asks.

Everypony in the room then looks at Rarity curiously, Rarity then sighs, "One of them acted as if they were hurt, that one was Miss Harshwhinney, then the second I have my head turned away, I get knocked out!" Rarity exclaims.

"Ahhh... the old pretend-to-be-hurt trick, always bound to get somepony's attention. And pretty clever too." Shining Armor thinks out-loud.

"And it happened after getting dressed to go to have dinner with you..." Rarity eyes go wide and her pupils dilate to the size of dimes, "Wait... my dress! Oh nonononono, I must go find it! It's hard to make dresses like that." Rarity exclaims as she leaves the clinic.

Everypony in the room watches as she takes off at Rainbow Dash speeds. "Well," Twilight starts, "at least we know she's alright and she wasn't hurt, not including the cut that is."

In the Alley Way

"Where is it? Where Is it? Where IS it?" Rarity says frantically. Then she catches sight of a familiarly colored cloth, "Ahhh... there you-" Rarity says when the cloth moves.

Her ears perk up by chance, to hear faint crying coming from the cloth.

She looks around the cloth to make sure nothing nor nopony was on the cloth. Rarity picks up the cloth with her magic, "Hello? Is somepony-" she freezes mid-sentence.

Right before her eyes was a colt with an obsidian colored mane and tail, a grey colored coat, ruby-red colored reptilian pupils with white sclera (or the visible part of the eye that isn't the pupil), and a curved horn, where there would usually be a regular unicorn horn. His horn was the same color as his coat at the base oft the horn, but looking from the base to the tip, the horn goes from a calm grey to a hot-shaded red. He also happens to have tears in his eyes but Rarity didn't notice.

When she sees the horn her eyes go wide and her pupils dilate to the size of dimes, "Bu- wha- how? How did you get here?!" asks Rarity in a demanding tone.

Sombra the colt yelps and curls into a ball and says, "P-please don't hurt m-me! I-I'm sorry! W-whatever I d-did wrong, I'm s-sorry for doing it!" then says over and over again. After he has said it at least five times his sobs continue again, this time, more louder.

Rarity then realizes the tears in his eyes, "Wait... what am I doing? I'm being mean to a colt, who looks like Sombra, but that doesn't change the fact that this pony is a little colt! Heck, I even made him cry more. Now I feel terrible, I think I know what I must do. Rarity sighs mentally.

"Oh! I'm so sorry darling. I just thought that you were somepony else, so what are you doing out here all on your own?" Rarity asks while holding out her hoof to help the colt back up onto his hooves.

He wipes away the tears as much as possible then he takes her hoof and gets back on all four hooves,"I-I don't know. I d-don't remember anything, horse-feathers, I don't even know my own name, miss...?" asks Sombra the colt.

"The names Rarity, dear." answers Rarity, "Well, if you don't remember your name, I will just have to give you a name, now don't I? Let's see... how's... Crimson Shade?" Rarity suggests.

"It... it sounds... nice... Crimson Shade... yeah that's a pretty cool name there. Thank you, Miss Rarity." says So- Crimson Shade while smiling and hugging Rarity.

"Your welcome darling." Rarity says as she returns the hug with a smile, "Though, it's alright if you just call me Rarity."

"OK, Rarity." says Crimson, "May I ask you one more question?"

"Sure darling, anything.

"I hope its not to much to ask for... but m-may I stay w-with you?" Crimson asks nervously, with a nervous smile.

"Sure darling, seeing as you have no memory of where you came from. I'm sure you can stay with me and my little sister."

"L-little... s-sister...?" asks Crimson.

"Yes," Rarity replies, "I have a little sister who's name is Sweetie Belle and whom is probably either as old, or younger, judging by your size you seem to be around her age."

"Well, I hope me and her will get along." Crimson says.

'Me too So- no he's not Sombra, not anymore, he is now Crimson, I and know that for a fact now.' Rarity thinks.

"I'm pretty sure you two will get along, especially since you don't have your cutie mark yet." Rarity informs Crimson.

"My cutie-what?" Crimson asks curiously.

Rarity sighs, "A cutie mark is a depiction of what you were destined to do and/or be, and each one is unique. For example," Rarity gestures her hoof towards her cutie mark, "my cutie mark is three diamonds, meaning that I can make valuable things. I got my cutie mark when I added gems to some costumes I made, so that means I can make good quality dresses and I can be generous as well."

"Wow," says Crimson, flabbergasted, "a cutie mark is all that? Wow, I can't wait to see what mine is!"

'I hope it won't be the same as before...' Rarity thinks while remembering the last time she saw him, his cutie mark being a bundle of naturally carved onyx. She shakes that thought out of her head, "I wonder what it could be? Oh, well, it's a mystery that will be solved in time. But I think we should head back to my house it's getting late and my friends are probably wondering where I am at the moment." Rarity says as she grabs her dirty dress off the ground with her magic and shakes it slightly to get rid of most the stuff that got stuck to it when it got left on the ground.

"Is... is that your dress, Rarity?" Crimson asks a little sadly.

"Why, yes it is! It was is a dress I made for when I going to have dinner with the princess, but... let's just say I couldn't make." Rarity answers trying not to worry Crimson, "Anyway I'll tell you more when I have the time, but for now, I just want to go home. Oh! And before I forget when we get home, I want to make you some suitable clothing, if you wouldn't mind that is."

"Oh, sure. It would be nice to be in some clothing, especially if it's made by you, since you seem to be a... what's the word?... fashionista? Yeah that's it! Your a fashionista with a good sense of what clothing is, metaphorically speaking, shouting about the person who is wearing it." Crimson says, very sure of what he just said.

"Well now... somepony's got a big vocabulary. You surely know your stuff, don't you?" Rarity says in a surprised yet amused tone.

"I... I guess. I don't know how I know those words, I guess I just do. You know?" Crimson says slightly confused, with a hint of hopefulness.

"I do darling now let's get back to my house shall we?" Rarity says as her horn glows, then teleports both of them into Rarity's room. Then Rarity floats a piece of paper, a quill, and measuring tape and starts measuring.

~seven minutes later~

Rarity is sewing on the pocket on the left side of the black button-up shirt. "How does look darling?" Rarity asks Crimson while stealing a glance at a mirror to try and get a good view of her work.

"It's comfortable a looks good as well... although I think it would go perfectly if I were to were a fedora." Crimson suggests while patting his head with his hoof.

"Really? Let me take a look..." says Rarity as she finishes sewing the pocket on the shirt then backs up to take a look, "Hmmm... you're right darling a fedora really would pull this all together.". Then gears start turning in Rarity's head, 'I am going to need to disguise that horn of his, other wise he will be taken in by the authorities and I don't want that to happen to my sweet little Crimson Shade!', Rarity mentally shouts, 'And his eyes... maybe a an enchantment? Oh that's right! Twilight gave that book of illusionary spells, luckily I borrowed that from her at a convenient time. she then starts to walk out of the room.

"Where are you going, Rarity?" Crimson asks, snapping her out of the trance-like state.

"Oh, I' just going to get my tougher fabrics that I use for making hats when they are ordered." Rarity says, which isn't really lying because they were in the bags in other [i}with the spell book.

"Oh, OK." says Crimson, as he walks over to a stool and sits on it.

"I'll be back as soon as I have found it." Rarity lies. She closes the door behind her, and looks around for the bag and finds it next to Sweetie Belle's traveling bag. She pulls out the fabric and the book she kept wrapped in a soft fabric, she continues to hold the hat fabric with her magic and cuts off enough fabric to make a fedora and puts the rest in the bag, puts the soft fabric back in the bag, and opens up the book's table of contents. "OK," Rarity whispers, "features, features, features. F, F, F, ah, there we go. Features page 99." she then flips to the page and starts looking for another specific word, "OK, eyes, eyes, eyes. E, E, E, ah-ha. Here we go." Rarity then looks at the description for the spell. Then starts whispering the text out-loud, "To cast this spell on an object permanently on an object that is to be worn just imagine this while casting the spell, 'the pony or creature who wears this putting on the item and the illusion happening', while thinking that, you say the words, 'the creature who wears this will not look the same, but is to have the personality it has had to keep it sane.'" Rarity does this and manages to cast the spell on the piece of cloth that she held with her magic with no problem. She opens her eyes and sees the illusion spell has been placed on it, just ever-so barely. 'Well, I hope this works' Rarity mentally says to herself.

Rarity opens the door to find Crimson still sitting on the stool preoccupying himself with decor of the room, then he notices Rarity is back, "That took a while, what happened? Was it in the wrong bag or something?" Crimson asks curiously.

"Eh... yes, that's it, it was in the wrong bag was all." Rarity says nervously.

"OK, was just curious was all." Crimson says, then there's a knock at the door.

"Rarity! Are you in there?" says Twilight's voice on the other side of the door.

"Yes! One moment!" Rarity says, then looks at Crimson, "Would you be a dear and wait in the other room for a moment? Me and my friend have some things to discuss... and the such, if you will."

Crimson pouts, "Awww... fine." says Crimson, as he goes to the other room.

Rarity walks up to her door and opens it with her magic, "Twilight! It's good to see you again, I'm so sorry I ran out on you girls, I remembered my dress and how it was in the middle of the alley way where I was abducted, by that cult. So, I ran out to get it, found it on the ground somewhat dirty, easy to clean, but..." Rarity starts looking at the door Crimson went through.

"But...?" Twilight asks.

"But I found more than just my dress." Rarity starts to sound a little nervously.

"Well? What else did you find?" Twilight says, now noticing her friends nervousness, "Don't worry Rarity, me and you are friends, right? We're always helping each other out. So you can tell me anything."

"Well, you see..." Rarity begins her explanation.
