To ponyville!

        We have Twilight’s friends, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. But what about her old friends? Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Moon Dancer, and Lyra. What happens when her new friends meet her old friends after she makes up for her absence.

Prologue.

        ~Minuette~

The day when Twilight came over was such a blast, especially that party, Pinkie Pie made for Moondancer. I wish she would come and visit more often. Then I had the best idea. We should get all of our friends and meet down at Ponyville. Twilight and her new friends could come meet us and Moondancer, Lemon Heart, Twinkleshine, and I could come over. Of course we needed to invite Lyra too. Maybe her friend will meet us as well. I needed Pinkie Pie’s help of course. This was going to a massive party! I couldn’t wait! After my thoughts ended, I saw the rest of the girls. “Hey girls over here!” I shouted.

“Oh hey Minuette,” said Lemon Heart.

“I was thinking about having a big get together with Twilight and her

friends. Um… what were their names again?” I said smiling sheepishly.

        “We already know Pinkie Pie.”

        “Oh there was umm… nevermind,” said Twinkleshine glumly.

        “Well let’s not waste time and start packing. The train for Ponyville should arrive precisely at 3:42pm today so that gives us,” Moondancer stared up into the sky so nothing would distract her whilst doing mental calculations. “Two hours and thirty-seven minutes.”

        “That short!? We need to go fast,” with that Minuette dashed off leaving dust behind her to cloud up in the air. The others coughed up the kicked up dust that they had inhaled. “let’s *coughs* go,” wheezed Twinkleshine.

        ~Twilight~

        I was catching up on my everyday reading. A book called “The Box Cart Fillies,” levitated under my magical will as I read. It was interesting… but,I have read better books. I heard a knock at the door, “Letter to princess Twilight Sparkle,” shouted the Mailmare. I looked up from my book. I wasn’t expecting any mail today. I put my book on the table leaving it open to my current page. I walked down the long empty corridor. I really needed to get some decorations.

        I opened the door to a blue pegasus pony holding an envelope out to me. I used my magic to take it from his hooves. He bowed at walked away. I shut the door and opened the letter while walking down the hallway.

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

Me and the girls wanted to come by and visit today soon, maybe even meet some of your other friends as well. Can’t wait to be there, see you soon.

From your friends, Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Heart, and Moondancer.

I read it over one last time, a smile creeping onto my face, when suddenly the castle doors swung open. “Twilight? Oh thank goodness you’re here, all my animals are acting strangely and I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” I set the letter down. “Can you help?”

“Sure Fluttershy,” I started exiting the castle with Fluttershy but before I left, I yelled to Spike,”If Moondancer and the others come by, show them the way to Fluttershy’s house.”

“Sure thing Twi… wait did you say…” but before Spike could finish the door closed.

        ~Moondancer~

        We were going to see Twilight today. I was still a little new to the whole friendship thing but I had fun with Minuette, Lemon Heart, and Twinkleshine since her last visit. I was kind of excited to see Twilight again. I wondered what the rest of her friends were like.

        The train hissed as it came in for a stop. I looked out the window and saw ponies everywhere. The one thing that they all had in common was a smile. They are actual real smiles. Not like those stuck up ponies in Canterlot who stick their noses in the air and show no emotion.

        The buildings don’t have as much… something, I couldn’t find the words for it. They were different, they actually looked like houses besides all the buildings up in Canterlot.

        “Come on Moondancer! we’re going to miss our stop!” I shook my thoughts away, my eyes went wide.

        “Sorry.” I had to grab my bags quick.

        “Next stop, Crystal Empire!” the conductor announced.

        “WAIT! We get off at this stop,” Shouted Minuette. We suddenly fell backwards with a jolt that had signalled the train leaving. “No no no, this is bad.”

        An idea sprang in my head. “Teleport!” our horns glowed and we flashed out of the train probably temporarily blinding the few ponies around us. We stumbled from the sudden stop of our bodies. We kept our momentum from the train so when we teleported, it was like jumping off the train and hitting the still ground. Good thing we did it soon enough that the train was going at high speeds.

        “That was fun! Let’s do it again,” said Minuette. Twinkleshine and Lemon Heart frowned at her.

        “How about no,” I told her. “Now where do you suppose Twilight would live?” I asked.

        “How about that giant castle in the center of Ponyville!” suggested Twinkleshine. I felt stupid not seeing that. It was so obvious and I was completely oblivious to it.

        “Wow it looks amazing.”

        “Okay, well let’s start there. See if Twilight’s is there or not.”

~Spike~

        I was straightening up the library, Twilight has yet again stayed up reading all night, well almost all night. I woke up to get a snack and saw her nose stuck in book and snoring. There were stacks, no, towers of books everywhere.

        A knock at the door gave me a break from cleaning. I jumped off the latter I was using and exited the library entrance and walked over to the main entrance doors.

        “Hey Spike, is Twilight Sparkle here? Wow! This place looks so much bigger on the inside!” Minuette said excitedly, she was dashing all over the place inspecting everything.

        “Twilight is helping Fluttershy with an animal problem. I can take you there if you want.”

        “Who’s Fluttershy?” asked Moondancer.

        “Fluttershy is one of Twilight’s friends she made in Ponyville,” I said. “There are five friends she made in Ponyville. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie who you already know, Rainbow Dash she made the Sonic Rainboom for Princess Cadence’s and Shining Armor’s wedding.”

        “Oh yeah, I remember that, it was beautiful. Well I mean the part where the changelings came in wasn’t but the rainbow was pretty cool,” said Minuette.

        “Applejack, and *sigh* Rarity,” I started floating for no apparent reason.

        “Let’s go to Fluttershy’s house!” I woke from his daydream startled by the shout and gravity took over once again causing me to plummet to the ground. “But first we need to find Lyra.”

        “Okay, come on follow me,” I started walking out the entrance doors.

~Twilight~

        Fluttershy’s animals had apparently been exposed to a certain plant Fluttershy had bought. While it had no effect properties on ponies, it did however have one on animals that caused them to become unusually inactive. It is called the Cloud Daisy. It has a very beautiful sheen of transparent rainbow colored petals but it isn’t good for a house of animals.

        Once we got rid of the flowers, the animals seemed to slowly but visibly become more and more active. “Hey Twilight!” The voice belonged to a familiar pony that she had met not too many days ago.

        “Hey Minuette, how are you girls? Oh hey Lyra, I completely forgot to visit you. I visit all the others except you, sorry.”

        “Nah, it’s okay. I thought were too busy to come visit. I never thought I would see Moondancer again but thanks to you…”

        “Thanks again for getting Moondancer to open up,” interrupted Lemon Heart.

        I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Um Twilight, who are these ponies.”

        “Oh right, you probably never met them before.”

        “I’ve met Lyra before, sort of. I have just seen her around,” said Fluttershy

        “Fluttershy, meet my old friends I once had up in Canterlot before I met you guys.” Fluttershy immediately perked up.

        “Well any friend of Twilight’s is a friend of mine,” she said still keeping her whisper in check.

        “There are so many animals!” Minuette had disappeared from the group and was looking at all the creatures of all kinds that lived in her home. “How many different animals do you have?”

        “Sixty-three,” said Fluttershy.

        “That many! You are an animal person.”

        “Hey Twilight, what’s up?” I turned around to see Rainbow Dash coming in with her pet tortoise.

        “Hey Rainbow, what are you doing here?”

        “Tank just wants to say hi to his old home,” Rainbow said. In a flash, Minuette knocked over Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash!? Oh wow, that sonic rainboom you did at Cadence’s wedding was so cool! I was able to see it at the last second. It took a while to get out of the underground caverns when the changeling queen brainwashed us.”

        “Yeah I am pretty awesome when it comes to flying aren’t eye.”

        “All right Minuette, don’t build up her ego any further than it is now.”

        “Minuette? Twilight, who are these other ponies?”

        “They are my friends I had up in Canterlot before I had ever met you. I visited them a couple days ago because I felt a little guilty for leaving them without saying anything.”

        “Wait you had friends before? But you were always trying to avoid friendships and everything when you came here.”

        I let out an awkward laugh, “You noticed.”
