The One Who Would Do Anything For Love

Twilight Sparkle having some "Twilight Time" in her castle. She was reading "Starswirl: An Autobiography", a book she had recently discovered in a bookshop in Manehattan. It was a surprise when she found a book that wasn't in her Starswirl collection, a dedicated half of her personal library. She was so focused on reading that nothing could distract her, that was until clink she heard the sound from across the room she turned her head to one of her ink wells to be slightly askew and next to it a grinning Applejack "Trick never fails" she said, "Hey, Paperback, what are you doing here?",

"Uh, Twilight? How long have you been reading that book?"

"Not long, just 32 hours"

"You don't look so, uh", Applejack paused to think, "rested",

"That's nonsense AJ! I haven't even got to the part where he banishes the sirens to the human world!"

"Well I'm sure these, hu-mans are really interesting, Twilight but this is more important!"

"Okay", Twilight sighed as she reluctantly closed the book with her horn and placed it on a crystal table, "What's so important?"

"Yer a bit shiny on yer flank", Applejack pointed to Twilight's cutie-mark with her hoof, which was glowing brightly. "Looks like the map wants ya, looks like the map wants all of us!" Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy all walk in and just like Twilight all of their flanks were aglow. Twilight's attention was brought to AJ's flank and it too was emitting light. To send all of them, the map must have a great challenge ahead for them.

Six cutie-marks flew around the Crystal Empire like a tornado. "Yes! I'm going to see my adoring fans!" Spike exclaimed, "No, no, Spike, you may be a hero but you need to be here at the castle in case of any emergencies" Twilight explained, "plus, is your cutie mark on there?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically. "Ohh, I guess you're right."

"Sorry sugar cube," Applejack apologised, "I'll bring you back some Crystal Empire sapphires"

"On the bright side I can invite Big Mac over to watch the hoof ball match!"

"That sounds really fun!" Pinkie said, she then whispered "Let's get out of here!".
