Time to Meet...

     "All I am telling you to do is go to Ponyville and make some friends, Twilight." A tall princess with a flowing mane of pink, blue, green said. "I know, but do I have to, Princess Celestia?" a young and purple pony said to Celestia.

   "You have to make some friends instead of being stuck in your room all day reading. You need some friends to hang out with." Princess Celestia said. "Ok. Fine." Twilight said.

   "Ok, good. I want you to leave right now to start preparing for the Summer Sun Celebration." Celestia said politely.

     Twilight left the castle and got in the carriage to Ponyville. "Okay. First, I can see about food. Princess Celestia gave me a list on who we look for. The one decorating is.... a pony named Pinkie Pie." The carriage then stopped and landed in a small little town.

   "Ok, I must be here. I am looking for Pinkie Pie." Twilight then noticed a bright pink pony walking down the road.

   "Um. Excuse me? I am looking for a pony named Pinkie Pie," Twilight said to the pink pony.

   "That's me. And I am guessing you are here about the Summer Sun  Celebration. The decorations are not ready yet if that is what you are here about. If you are not here about that, then I will feel like an idiot." The pink pony then smiled.

   "Um. Actually, I am here about the decorations. You said it was not ready yet?" Twilight asked. The pink pony nodded her head up and down, making her bouncy pink hair bounce. "Oh. Ok. I will tell that to Princess Celestia. Do you know a pony possibly named Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked then looked around the small town.

   Pinkie Pie looked so surprised. "YOU KNOW PRINCESS CELESTIA!" Pinkie Pie shouted. Twilight felt like her eardrums popped. "Yeah. I am one of her students," Twilight said. "I am just looking for Rainbow Dash. Any chance you know her?" Twilight asked once more.

   "Yeah! Like, everyone knows who Rainbow Dash is. She is, like, the fastest pony in Ponyville." Twilight nodded her head. "Do you know where I can find her?" She asked. "Yeah. Just look up!"

Fashion Sense

   Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash were walking through Ponyville searching for any clues on what could have happened to Rainbow Dash's family. "Do you think they would have gone anywhere without telling you?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash. "They might have, but I am pretty sure they would have told me. They wouldn't want me to worry, but it might be a possibility." Rainbow replied.

   "Oh! I almost forgot! I still have to see about decorations for the Summer Sun Celebration!" Do either of you two know who is in charge of decorations?" Twilight asked. Pinkie thought about it. "No, I don't, but don't you have a list?" Pinkie Pie asked. She waved at somepony across the street. "Well, I left it in the carriage when I got out. Rainbow? Do you know?" Twilight asked. "Yeah. I do. Her name is Rarity. She lives and works at the Carousel Boutique. But, be warned. If she sees any hair out of place on your mane, she will throw a fit. You want to do a quick mane check?" Rainbow asked the two other ponies. "Sure." Twilight replied.

   The three ponies stopped at Sugar Cube Corner and checked their manes to see if there were any hairs out of place. "I am glad we checked. I had hairs out of place everywhere on my head. She would have freaked."  Pinkie Pie said. "Well, we better get going if we want to get there before it gets dark." Rainbow Dash said.

   The trio headed out the door, but stopped in there tracks when they heard a scream come from a building near Town Square. "What was that?!" Pinkie Pie asked. "That sounded like Rarity. I wonder what's wrong. We better go see." Rainbow Dash said. The three ran over to a building with a sign that said Carousel Boutique. "This is where I needed to go anyway." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash opened the door and there stood a beautiful pony with a perfect purple mane and white skin. She was a picture of perfection. "OH! WHAT A TRAGEDY!" The pony shouted. "RARITY! What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked. The purple maned pony looked over and said, "Oh. Nothing, darling. I was just helping this customer find the right holiday sweater and she picked this one out and it was just hideous. I told her she needed a new one, but she wouldn't listen." Rarity said.

   "That was all you screamed about?! You had them worried and plus, I need to get everything ready for the Summer Sun Celebration!... I have one question. Are you Rarity?" Twilight asked.

   "Yes. Are you going to ask me how the decorations are coming along?" She asked.

"Yes. That is why we came here besides your scream." Twilight said. "Well, the decor is coming along fine, but the question I have is, What color should each banner be? Maybe rainbow banners. That would look adorable!" Rarity said. Twilight looked confused. "Rarity, this is the Summer SUN Celebration. I think each banner should have a sun on it." Twilight said.

"No, I mean, what should the background color of each banner be? I am thinking either rainbow or a light purple." Rarity explained. Twilight nodded her head. "Sure, Rarity. Either a light purple or rainbow, but please hurry and pick. The Celebration is in two days. But, we have to leave now to check on everything else. If you need anything you are welcome to come and find me. I will be in Ponyville for the rest of the time before the Celebration. I will most likely be staying in the library across town." Twilight explained.

"Okay. OH! I forgot. I want you to meet my family. They are visiting for the celebration. I want you to come meet them. PLEASE!!" Rarity asked. Twilight wasn't sure, but she did have two more days here. She had time to meet her family and then check up on everything else. "Okay, I guess I can stay a little while longer." Twilight explained.

"Oh, YAY!!! Thank you, Twilight, thank you!" Rarity shouted. "Oh, and you two can meet them as well." Rarity looked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. "Sure, we can stay." Rainbow Dash said. She forgot all about her family missing.

"Okay, they should be in the kitchen. I will go grab them and you ponies can make yourselves at home." Rarity said.

Rarity walked into the kitchen, but then she screamed again. "AHHHHH!!!!" Rarity screamed. "Come on guys, we have to see what's wrong!" Rainbow Dash said. The three ponies rushed into the kitchen and saw Rarity sobbing on the floor. "Where did they go? They were just here. They couldn't have left. They would have just walked past us in the living room. That is the only way out!" Rarity shouted. "Rarity! It will be okay. Who is missing? Your family?" Twilight asked. Rarity nodded. "Yes! Like I said. They were just here." She shouted once more.

"Wow! That is such a coincidence. My family went missing too. I forgot about them!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "TWILIGHT, WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR EACH OF OUR FAMILIES! WE CAN'T LEAVE THEM WHERE EVER THEY ARE! THEY MIGHT GET LOST OR HURT! Rainbow Dash shouted at Twilight. "Okay. We will look." Twilight said.

  "Finally!" Rainbow Dash said with sarcasm. "Come on let's go." Twilight said, ignoring Rainbow's comment.

A Flash of Rainbow

     Twilight looked up then all of a sudden, a bright flash of all different colors flashed by. "That's Rainbow Dash." Pinkie Pie shouted. "RAINBOW DASH! SOMEPONY IS HERE TO SEE YOU!" The colors all disappeared and a light blue pegasus pony came flying towards Pinkie Pie. "Yeah, Pinkie Pie?" the blue pony asked. "This pony wants to talk to you."

     Twilight acted kind of shy. "I was just wondering if all the weather is cleared for the Summer Sun Celebration?" Twilight asked politely. "I will clear the weather the night before the celebration. And, by the way, I am Rainbow Dash. The fastest pony you will ever meet." Rainbow Dash said bravely.

      "Yeah. Ok. But what exactly are you doing now? You are flying super fast around Ponyville. There has to be a reason for that." Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash looked around Ponyville like she was looking for someone. "Well, I am looking for somepony." Her smile turned into a frown. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

   "Well, you see, my family went missing. They came to visit and they came yesterday. They were at my house earlier but, then I had to leave. I came back a little while later, but they were not there. I searched everywhere for them. I can't find them." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight looked confused. "Okay, so, your family went missing?"

   "Yes," Rainbow Dash said. "I was going out to practice for the Wonderbolts. I was gone for 2 hours, and when I got back they were gone." she continued.

   "Well, I will help you when you clear the weather." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash stood there like she was frozen. "Ok, you expect me to clear the weather before I find my family! For all I know, my families lives could be on the line!" Rainbow Dash complained. Twilight sighed, "Okay, fine, I will help you first, but I thought the Summer Sun Celebration was more important, and it is to me." Twilight said.

   "Thanks for agreeing to help me. Where can I meet you? I know you still have some ponies to meet up with, so I will meet you in about two hours at Sugar Cube Corner. Is that good with you?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah. That sounds alright to me. See you later, Rainbow Dash." Twilight agreed.

   Twilight then continued her walk through Ponyville.
