Celestia's sun was starting to set as Rainbow Dash arrived at her house. As she made her way upstairs to her bedroom, she grabs her necklace and holds it in her hand for a bit, the necklace is silver with a sapphire jewel that seems to hold a galaxy in it. I really wish I had more than just this and a set of keys, I don't even know what they're for. Rainbow thought, Why did you send me away, why?

Her parents left at an orphanage in Cloudsdale when she was a year old. 5 years later, she received a small package containing the mementoes with no return address. She held on to them ever sense then. She heads for her bedroom, walks over to her bedside and opens the top drawer. She reads the note that came with the package.

'Rainbow Dash. My name doesn't matter, what's in the package does. These are a couple of items from your parents. The necklace is from your mother and the keys are from your father. Please hold onto them, if not for me or you then at least for them. The keys will unlock something, you just have to find it when your older. A friend.'

Rainbow sighed, its been 15 years since she received that package and she's looked everywhere she can think of. And because of this, she has to take naps in between work, working out and searching for whatever these keys unlock.

She slumped onto her bed and thought of the long day of work she had and having to deal with another one of Twilights spells gone awry. The keys have got to unlock something. Should I tell the others? No. I don't want to have them worry about me, or drive Twilight crazy trying to figure out the keys. She thought as she drifted off into sleep.

The next morning, Rainbow woke up with some kind of nudging feeling near her left leg. She opened her eyes to see Tank trying to wake her up and succeeded. "Morning Tank" Rainbow said. "You hungry?" Tank shook his head and looked toward the calendar. Rainbow looked over and her eyes widened. 'Meeting at Twi's. 8:30 A.M.' it said. She quickly looked at the time, the clock said 8:04 A.M. CRAP! I'm goanna be late! Rainbow thought. She quickly changed into blue jeans and a sky blue shirt with the wonderbolts insignia on it. She quickly grabbed the keys, headed to the balcony and took off.

Rainbow landed in front of Twilight's new castle. She still couldn't get over the fact that this came from such a small box, and that was 6 months ago. She headed for the throne room, the usual meeting place. As she walked in, she saw Applejack, Pinkie pie, Spike and Twilight already there in their respective thrones, casually chatting. Guess I'm not late. Rainbow thought. "Hey girls."she said "Where's Flutters and Rarity?"

"Rarity's currently finishing up an order and Fluttershy is in the other room making some tea for everyone" Twilight said. she was wearing a button up pale green shirt and a purple skirt with her cutie mark on it. A six pointed purple star with 5 small grey ones around it.

Spike was currently sitting in his throne besides Twilight's. Right now he's wearing blue jeans and a grey hoodie with a green shirt underneath. Spike has had a growth spurt during his 18th birthday 2 years ago. Spike has gained some muscle, but it's more lean muscle.

As Rainbow dash sat down in her throne, Fluttershy came in with a tray with six teacups, a teapot, and a few cookies on plate. She's wearing her usual green sweater and grey skirt. She started serving everyone in the room and left the tray on Rarity's side of the round table in case she wanted some.

As she sat down Applejack asked " What's taken that mare so long?" Just as she says that, Rarity enters the room.

"Sorry I took so long darlings, some of the stitches came loose as I was working." she said, wearing a purple blouse and blue shorts. As she headed over to her throne, she winked at the dragon, which didn't go unnoticed by him. He immediately went back to reading his comic, hoping nopony would see his blush. Ever since Spike's birthday, Rarity can't get her mind off of him, no matter what she does. I love you Spike, you're the perfect gentlestallion a lady could ask for. she thought. I just wish I had the courage to say it to you. Just because she was the element of generosity, doesn't mean she doesn't have trouble sharing her feelings.

Spike has gotten better control of his feelings for Rarity over the years. since they moved to ponyville. Needless to say, he burnt that shirt with Rarity's face in the middle of a heart 3 months after he got it.

"Well now that everypony's here, lets get started". Twilight said. They used meetings as a way to know what they're going to do for the week. And when they're available during the week. Though one question was brought that Rainbow didn't want to hear.

"Rainbow, I've been meaning to ask you. Where did you get that necklace?" Rarity asked. Rainbow stiffened

With Aj here, I can't lie but I can't tell them the whole story about it. Rainbow thought.

"Well ya see, a friend gave it to me a long time ago" She said. It's not the whole truth but hopfully that'll stop her from asking. she thought.

"Hmm. Quite an interesting jewel. May I see it?" Rarity asked.

Spoke too soon Rainbow thought" Well ok but be careful with it." she said as she took off the necklace and Rarity took it in her magic.

"I've never seen a jewel quite like this!" She exclaimed as she examined the jewel "Your friend must have very exquisite tastes."

"Thanks. Can I have it back now?" Rainbow asked.

"I'd like to take a look at it though." Twilight said. But before Rarity could hand it over, all of their cutie marks lit up. And for some strange reason, started circling Rainbow dash's cutie mark and the map zoomed into Canterlot mountain and started floating above a point at the base on the other side of the mountain opposite of the capital's location.

"Why would the map want you girls to head there? There doesn't seem to be anything." Spike said " Also, why are your cutie marks circling Rainbow's?"

"I don't know, but if the map wants us to go there, then that where were going. Come on girls" Twilight said as Rarity gave Rainbow back her necklace. As they all stared leaving the room

Spike shouted "Hey, wait for me!" as he leaped out of his seat, tossed his comic onto it and sprinted to catch up with the girls.

When the doors shut, the view switches to the far top right corner of the room. The view gets a little darker and fuzzy. the viewpoint backs up to reveal a monitor on a large console with other screens showing data, Rainbow's house and a viewpoint from her necklace.

"They're heading out" one voice said

"Looks like where her parents took my old garage" another voice said

"Then that's where we're heading too." said the first voice said, walking towards what looks like a pilot seat.
