In a small cottage in Trottingham, an elderly pegasus pony lay asleep in his bed. Dawn had just broke, but Celestia’s sun light had yet to filter through the cracked blinds at the window and bring a new day to this old pony. Soon, light trickled in, casting long shadows across the ground that slithered menacingly about the room before settling the Pony’s face. He gasped softly as the suffocating darkness overcame him. He appeared to be panicking, tossing and turning in his sleep. The Pegasus jumped up, awoken with a start just as the light had illuminated the darkness that had nearly done him in. He panted as he searched the room for what had assailed him.

As strange a sight this must have been, his expression was as serious as a bug bear attack. He spoke gruffly as he ran a hoof through his beard, “Another one… I cannot ignore this any longer.”

As he stepped over to the window to open the blinds, he called out to another in the house, “Lady Quercus, fetch me Caliburn… We are needed in the west!”

A feminine voice called out from some other room. It was loud, yet dignified, much like a royal guard’s voice while on duty. Stout and serious. Just like the pegasus would expect in this situation. The elder opened the blinds and looked out grimly at the silent streets of Trottingham, just barely catching a glimpse of the fleeing darkness as it begins to cower in fear in every nook and cranny. Celestia’s sun bought one more day of peace once again, but for how much longer?

Meanwhile, somewhere in the deepest depths of the Castle of Friendship, an amethyst smoke colored unicorn stirred. The subtle sound of paper tearing could be heard as he attempted to remove himself from his awkward position at a work bench. There lay many secrets within its crystal halls. Trap doors, hidden passageways, and yes, secret rooms. These rooms hold many things, from important documents to dangerous enchanted artifacts. Thankfully, most secrets are kept locked tight for the Princess's eyes only. Little did she know, her own son has his own secrets, secrets that he tries desperately to keep hidden within her castle. This work room, like many others, were but one secret. Another, more dangerous secret lay beneath still. It was a book, but not just any book. It was a Tome filled to the brim with grim prophecies of the future. Do not be fooled by the crayons and jelly stains, if there was one thing anypony should take seriously it is the predictions of a misses Pinkamena Diane Pie.

The Unicorn had poured a lot of his time and energy into uncovering the secrets of the book, so much so that some of his other projects had to be put on hold. Naturally, being a pony of logic, her bizarre way of writing perplexed him at first, with with a few hints from Surprise and his mother, he managed to decode some of the book, but as one might expect, he didn’t like what he found. He rubbed his temples with a hoof, trying to rid himself of the pain in his eyes and face. He made a mental note to actually make it into bed tonight and stood up from his work bench, leaving the book behind on the table.

“Sir Dawn, you are finally awake. Shall I prepare your late morning coffee?”

The Unicorn known as Alternate Dawn, scoffed at the idea. He was too mad for that right now, “I am not a Sir… Owly, you were supposed to take me up hours ago. What happened?”

The Castle’s AI, Owly, didn’t respond at first, as if contemplating its response. When it did respond, it stated, “I am sorry Sir, but i’ve been busy dealing with your mother’s new guests. Some of them had a lot of demands that needed to be met.”

Alter left the room concealing the Book of Prophecies behind as he entered his room with the intent on starting his day, “New guests, huh? That doesn’t happen too often. What’s the occasion?”

“I believe they are some old friends from out of town.”

The Unicorn chuckled softly as he went through a box of ties. If he was going to be meeting some of his mother’s friends, he might as well try to get presentable. As he looked at himself in a mirror, he asked, “What are they like? Details please.”

Owly stated without hesitation. It was as if it knew he was going to ask that, “A dragon and two ponies. Parents and child. The dragon is purple with green spines. The elder pony is a dark ebony with three gemstones as her cutiemark and a long flowing purple mane, while the other is as white as milk, blank flanked, and green maned.”

“Huh… Well, mom always did have strange tastes in friends. Take Pinkie Pie for example.”

He sighed, thinking back to the book as he sometimes found himself doing, “I've read this book a hundred times, and I still can't make heads or tails of it."

Despite it being in the other room, his gaze was still drawn in its direction. Mysteries were something he hated leaving unsolved, and that book was the biggest mystery anypony could ever solve in their lives. If he was right, it had predicted the meeting of all of his friends so far and what their purpose would be in the coming years, and yet he was no closer to knowing why. Why did this book detail these events long after the pink party pony had perished?

He tossed aside another tie. None of them were really his style anyway. Sighing, he went over to the wall and opened up a panel, revealing a secret treasure within. It was the Elements of harmony, or rather, a version of them that he had devised. Seeing as the Elements couldn’t be removed from the Tree of Harmony and new threats were arising in Equestria all the time, there had to be some way to deal with them without needing to rely on some strange rainbow power all the time. His solution was these, the Lite versions of them. While they lack the knock out punch the original elements had, these copies can take on foes individually while all of the originals were needed to stop them in their tracks. Versatility over power… Sometimes the cost is worth it.

To his surprise, some of them had been missing already. Slipping on the Element of Magic, he asked, “Ace and LJ were here earlier, weren't they?”

“A possessed creature has been spotted near Sweet Apple Acres. LJ was dispatched nearly half an hour ago, and Ace had received word and went to assist.”

The Unicorn cursed as he closed the panel. They shouldn’t have gone alone, he should be out there with them, “You really should have woke me sooner Owly.”

The A.I. remained silent, letting him fume. After a few brief moments, he calmed down. Running a hoof through his mane, he stated to himself, “Don’t worry about it Alter, they’ll be fine. The two of them junction together well. They can handle this… Just try to get through the day and don’t do anything that will make the dragon mad at you.”

As he headed for the exit, he went over a mental checklist of the things he’d need to do today, but just to be sure, he ran it by Owly, “First, i’m going to need to check the kitchen to make sure my mom didn’t forget to stock it for our guests, scan the Cutiemap to make sure no emergencies have appeared…”

He paused, hoof on the door, “Besides the monster at the Farm.”

Stepping out into the hall, he continued, “Check the library for any new books and returns. Check MY Library for any new books and returns. Then come back for a status report from LJ and Ace, if they make it back before supper that is. Knowing them, they might not. Does that sound about right?”

The A.I. made a ding noise, indicating a correct answer. However, before he could thank it, it stated, “Actually, you may wish to check the library first. The younger pony is an avid bookworm. I think you may have a new friend on your hooves.”

“I see… Since when was friendships your concern?”

The A.I. snarked, “Since your mother had both of us made.”

Alternate Dawn sighed, waving a hoof dismissively, “Okay, no need to get wise on me. Anything I should know before I should meet this pony?”

"They have found the romance novels."

That answer gave the Unicorn pause, frozen mid step, “They what?”

Owly repeated, “They have found the romance novels.”

The Unicorn scowled, bolting off down the call as he cried out, “Buck me! I just moved those to the restricted section. They’ll be all out of place if they put them back now!”

If Owly had eyes, it would be rolling them right now. If there was one thing that could set the male Unicorn off, it was how possessive he could be at time when it comes to his books.

Meanwhile, not too long ago, a lone dragon wandered through the crystal halls of the Castle of Friendship, a look of bewilderment adorning his features as he checked each room. Finding them to be empty, the dragon shouted in frustration, “Empty, empty, empty again…”

“Where are they?”

“Who?”

He paused, his eyes scanning the halls for the one who had asked him the question, “Twilight and Rarity?”

Spike had woken up alone this morning, something he hadn’t expected. Twilight’s room was empty, Sparity’s room was empty, all of these rooms were empty. It surprised him how sparse everything truly was. Twilight really wasn’t kidding when she said she was living alone. He was alone, save for that strange voice.

“Who?”

He would probably prefer to be alone right now. It was fairly aggravating, in a familiar way though. He couldn’t exactly put his claw on the feeling, not that he could even notice it at the moment. He was too focused on the annoying voice that kept asking him, ‘who?’

“What do you mean ‘who’? I was talking about Twilight and Rarity, you know-”

Realizing his mistake, he chuckled nervously, a small blush forming on his face, “Very funny Owly, I know it’s you.”

The voice called out again, its synthetic voice nearly surprising the dragon. It was a lot closer than before, “Sorry Spike, old habits die hard.”

It still amazes him just how much he remembered about this place, and yet her forgot about her? He crossed his arms, grinning as he addressed Owly, “It’s fine. I see you’re still around. How are things?”

“I am her number one assistant now. I hope you are not jealous, Spike.”

The dragon snorted a little flame, as if issuing a challenge, “Watch it Owly, I still know where your Core is.”

The A.I. gave a ‘chuckle’ in response, “Right.. Perhaps a peace offering will suffice. Hungry?”

Spike’s stomach rumbled, causing the dragon to give a nervous grin, “Well, the ‘workout’ I did last night has made me a bit peckish. Although, Twilight might not be too happy if I were to nibble on her castle walls.”

As the A.I. spoke, a door opened up, revealing a large table with a cake made out of strange looking gems sitting upon it, “Well then, this should suffice. I made a cake out of the gems we have been using to synthesize items and rebuild structures. Would you like a slice?”

If Owly had lips, they would certainly be in the shape of a wide grin right now, “Don’t worry, the cake is not a lie.”

The dragon started to drool as he stepped into the room, causing the A.I. to give an alert noise, panicking a little at his expression, “But please, do try not to eat the Plate and Table… Again.”

Meanwhile, with his daughter Sparity. She had just awoken and was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. That wasn’t the only thing she was removing from her eyes. She had to shake off books a plenty from her body, for they were her blanket that night. A true bibliophile she was, even more so than Alternate Dawn, though such a behavior was not lost on the Princess. Twilight Sparkle literally lived in a library and slept with books far more often than she did with colts.

Sighing, she flickered through her various sight abilities as she tried to gather her bearings, Thermal, normal, thermal, normal… Normal, she settled upon this as she placed her glasses on her muzzle. Looking about the room, she grinned sheepishly at the books that had been left haphazardly about the space, ‘I made quite a mess last night… Note to self, avoid binge reading late at night. Three books is plenty!’

She gathered up all the books and headed out towards the Library with the intent on returning them. It was a fairly easy task too, she just had to look for that one book that opened up the passage to the adult section. Such a silly thing really, having to hide books like these behind a bookcase. Surely all the warning signs on the door would be enough to keep foals out. Then again, a curious child tends to ignore warning such as those. Not safe for Woona, not safe for foals? Labels like that does incite curiosity What sort of things would one hide behind there?

Thankfully, she was old enough to find out. Grinning, she opened the door and stepped inside. Once in, she sat the rented books down on a desk and went over to where she had found the books last night and set up a little nook for herself so she can read in peace. A book on interspecies romance here, a classic romeo and juliet story there, she was all set. As she opened her first book, the sound of somepony muttering to themselves in the other aisle caught her attention, followed shortly by the sound of crashing books crushing some unfortunate soul.

Concerned, the mare peeked out from her nook and saw the hapless pony face down, rear up, covered in a thick layer of books. Stepping out from behind the bookcase, Sparity levitated the booked off of him. It was Alternate Dawn, though at the time, she had no way of knowing that just yet.

She asked, slight worry echoed in her tone, “Are you okay?”

Alter dusted himself off as he got to his hooves, “I’ll be fine, thanks…”

After shaking the dust out of his mane, the young stallion finally got a good look at the Unicorn that had saved him. White fur, green mane… She certainly fit Owly’s description. This was his book ‘thief’? Well, at least she wasn’t that young, otherwise he’d have a lot of explaining to do to his mom. He extended a hoof out to her in greeting, “I’m Alternate Dawn… I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. You new in town?”

Of course she was… If she wasn’t, he’d have known about her long ago. Second to Super Surprise, he knew the most ponies in town. The Mare shied away from his hoof, blushing, “Al-alternate Dawn? As in, Prince Dawn?”

The young prince waved his out stretched hoof dismissively, "I'd prefer if you didn't call me Prince. It makes me sound like i'm a snobbish noble..."

Setting hoof down, he added, “I’ve seen too many of those to want to be associated with the likes of them. Just call me Alter, for short.”

Alter put a hoof to his chin as he leaned in slightly. Something seemed quite off about this Unicorn. At first he had assumed that she was all Pony, given there was hardly a way she could be anything but knowing her parents, but he had to be sure, “What are you exactly? You look like a regular Unicorn, but I sense something… Different, about you.”
Now, Sparity was sweating bullets, taking a step back as the prince stepped forward, “Different, whatever do you mean?”

“Different, as in Interesting.”

He leaned in, placing a hoof on her chin as he lifted her face to his with the intent on stealing a kiss, “I simply must add you to my collection.”

And steal a kiss he did. While Sparity couldn’t deny that it was a good kiss, that didn’t mean that she enjoyed having her first kiss stolen by some random colt she just met, even if he was a prince. Alternate Dawn drew back, tasting the spit left behind on his lips. After a moment, he spoke aloud, “Spicy… Yet, Sweet. Hint of dragon and… Is that marshmellow?”

He chuckled softly, “A Hybrid? An interesting find indeed.”

His attention was swiftly stolen, much like that kiss, by said hybrid’s building rage, “My first kiss…”

With a roar, the hybrid known as Sparity summoned forth a strange crystal. It glowed with an otherworldly light as her form was enshrouded with brilliant wings, “You stole my first kiss!”

He paled, taking a step back as her transformation into a more draconic form became complete. Gone was the white pony from before, for she was now a white furred dragon. Her form was elegant, her purple spine like mane further accentuated her beauty. A deadly beauty, and she was staring him down…

“Die!”

“Oh buck me…”

Before he could dare turn away, she let loose a torrent of dragon fire, roasting him alive, “AHHHHHH!!!”

The dragon panted softly, eyes closing as she shifted back to her pony form, “There, that should be enough…”

There was a loud trotting coming up from her rear. It was Twilight Sparkle and Rarity, Sparity’s mother. It would appear that they had heard some of the commotion and came to investigate.

Her mother asked urgently, “What is going on, we heard shouting.”

The hybrid turned to her mother and waved a hoof, “It’s nothing mom, a perverted stallion just got burnt, that’s all.”

The normally dark looking Unicorn paled , looking almost like a ghost, “B-but… you’ve killed a pony!”

Sparity gave a look that was a cross between shock and disbelief, “Killed, no! I just punished him with a little dragon fire is all…”

Rarity pointed at a pile of ash that lay where Alter once stood, “But you turned the poor pony to ash!”

By now, the true weight of her misdeed fell on her like a ton of bricks, “I killed a pony…”

This fact terrified her to no end, so much so that all she could do was flail her limbs about as she spouted out her fears, “Does this mean i’m a villain? I don’t know how to be a villain… What would I even pack if I was banished to the moon? I don’t want to become a statue for a thousand years! What if I was sent to the badlands? I haven’t landed from a fall that high before… Idoubtevennormaldragonscansurviveinthefrozennorth!”

She fell to her knees, crying out to the heavens, “Please, don’t banish me to Tartarus!”

Just then, and angry looking Princess Twilight rounded a corner with a vary distressed looking Alternate Dawn in tow, “Owowow… Mom, not so hard, I need that ear!”

Sparity was dumbfounded as the Princess dropped off her son in front of her, “Y-you’re alive, but how!?”

Alter groaned softly, rubbing his left ear. Pained, he was still able to give an answer, “I used a substitution teleport.”

“Huh?”

Shaking his head, the Prince finally got some feeling back in his ear, “Basically I switched places with a life sized plush of me… It took the scorching flames for me.”

A doll? Him? Her curiosity getting the better of her, she asked, “Why do you even have a plush of yourself?”

“For emergency escapes. Why do you ask?”

He stated that so matter of factly. It couldn’t have been real! Could it? The naughty fantasies that came about from the thought of him with a life sized doll of himself made the hybrid blush crimson, “N-no reason!”

She pointed an accusatory hoof at him, “Besides… Why the buck did you kiss me? That really was my first kiss.”

Alter grinned nervously, running a hoof through his mane, “Sorry… I just really wanted you in my collection.”

She gasped, not knowing the true context of the situation, “You collect kisses from every mare you meet? That’s perverted…”

The stallion gave her a look of utter confusion, “Kisses? Why would I collect something like that?”

Sparity rammed her hoof into his muzzle and continued to question him, “Then what is with the kiss, huh?”

He countered, raising a hoof to boop her on the nose as he produced a tome filled with what looked like ID cards of some sort, “If you’d let me explain, it’s a part of a magic ritual that makes special ID cards. Take a look, this one is of you.”

He levitated one of the cards off of the tome’s pages and held it out for her to see. Indeed, it was a card of her. It even held some basic information on her, such as her race, gender, parents and surprisingly a small bit about her unique magics. Returning the card to him, she asked, “And you made it with a kiss?”

He nodded, stowing the card away in the tome as he gently held it out for her to examine, “Indeed. Though, it is a bit more than that. Think of each card as a data recorder, something that keeps track of your status as your live and grow. When read with a magical card reader, I can access the data within. DNA, magic capacity, blood type, the works.”

He beamed, “With this data, I could better heal a pony's injuries and even regrow lost limbs if need be. And that isn’t even touching what other advancements could be made in the name of science and medicine. A hybrid’s data like yours is extremely valuable, as it helps uncover secrets that life would normally keep hidden.”

“And you made it with a kiss… Was that the only way?”

Alternate Dawn blushed slightly, “Well, no, but you must admit, a kiss is a lot easier than sex, isn’t it?”

As the mare flipped through the pages, her blush returned in full force, “B-but… Some of these are stallions.”

She adjusted her glasses, “You’d kiss even them?”
Alternate Dawn nodded with pride, strangely enough, “I’d do just about anything in the name of wholesome science.”

She closed the book abruptly, a flash of anger appearing on her features once more, “Alright, fine… But that still doesn’t excuse the fact that you kissed me without my permission!”

Alternate Dawn sighed in annoyance, as if he had to explain this a hundred times, and knowing him, he probably did, “Don’t you think i’ve tried asking for permission? Well I have! It wasn’t pleasant… Some ponies called me a pervert, others avoided me like I was the plague after I asked. One even had the audacity to kick me in the balls, the balls!”

He shuddered, “You have no idea how much pain I had to endure for my studies… That’s why started surprise kissing ponies. Sometimes it is easier to come back and explain myself when I actually have their card in hoof than it is for them to take me at my word.”

He crossed his hoofs, huffing as the two elder ponies watched the action, looking on, “Besides, with how you reacted, I doubt you’d let me kiss you even if I had asked…”

Feeling the ‘sting’ of his kiss from earlier, she commented, “You’d be surprised. I would probably have given you a chance if you had just asked… It’s not like I find you handsome or anything.... Baka!”

His ears perked up at her comment, though he was a little oblivious to the latter end of that, “You would? Then may I please kiss you in your dragon form? It would help me greatly if I could get data on that too.”

This caught her off guard. Her and her big mouth… Sighing, she summoned forth her dragonstone once more and shifted forms, “Fine… By the dragon’s code, I can’t go back on my word… As offhooved it was.”

“But first…”

She turned around and glared at her mother, who was giving her best, ‘I ship it face’, "Would you please get rid of that 'I ship it' face? It's really creepy!"

Twilight laughed as she called out to her friend, “Come on Rarity, let’s leave the two alone now…”

“You two have fun ~<3 We’ll see you both at lunch.”

Sparity scoffed, turning back to Alternate Dawn, “What kind of parent even does that to their own daughter?”

The stallion shrugged, “Who knows… I don’t even understand my mom all the time.”

With them finally out of earshot, Alter stated, “Whenever you are ready…”

It took a few moments of mental preparation before the dragon/pony hybrid was able to lean in and kiss him. Unfortunately, she didn’t know how much of a kiss was needed, so she simply replicated what was done not that long ago. Hopefully that would be enough to satisfy the strange colt.

She drew away, waggling her tongue trying to get the taste of stallion out of her mouth. This action was a little strange to him of course, but he paid that little mind as he focused on crafting the card. Card now in hoof, he held it out to her, “There, done.”

She smiled softly, glad that it was all finally over, or so she thought. As he put the card away in the book he stated, “Hmmm… Your name is Sparity, right? I hate to ask you to do more than you already have, but I need you to do me one teensy weensy little favor.”

Oh joy… A favor. She groaned softly as she shifted back to her Unicorn form, “What?”

At least he was able to get her name right. Wait… She never said her name did she? She was about to question him as to how he knew her name, but recalled that was one of the things the cards had listed, her name. Suddenly feeling a little silly, she asked again, “What do you want?”

The male unicorn frowned, unsure of how she’d react to his request, “I have a bit of a problem. You see, i can make cards of other ponies just fine, but there is one card I haven’t actually been able to make. My own.”

So Alter couldn’t make a card for himself? While she could see the problem with that, she couldn’t actually wrap her head around why he can’t. This was something she had to find out about, “Okay, why?”

The answer was pretty simple, “Well, I can’t kiss myself.”

She facehoofed. The answer was simple, yet really dumb, “So?”

He shrugged in response, “Trust me, i’ve tried to make it, but I just can’t seem to do it without the aid of another Unicorn. Naturally, nopony wants to be involved with me, so it’s even harder. And i’m not going to ask my mom. That’d just be creepy as heck…”

Great… He’d kiss a stallion, plenty of them it would seem, but he won’t kiss his mother. What is wrong with this guy? Sighing, she asked, “What does this have to do with me?”

He stated matter of factly, glad to finally get to the point, “I need you to cast the card making spell and kiss me. That way I can have a card of me in the collection.”

Oh, is that all? She scowled at the thought of kissing him again, but then again, he was asking her to do it rather than just kissing her. However, it was more than apparent that it wouldn’t have worked that way. She was in control, a fact that she was actually really glad about, “No.”

She wasn’t sure why, but being able to tell the stallion off felt right, but what he said next caught her off guard. He knelt down before her and pleaded, “Please, help me do this. I’ll do anything… It’s really important!”

She grinned wickedly, now was her chance, “Fine, on one condition…”

He grinned widely, looking up into her eyes, “Name it!”

“You must promise to never kiss anyone again without their permission.”

Without hesitation, he promised, with the gesture as well, “Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.”

He gave a firm nod once done and explained, “That was a Pinkie Promise. The most sacred of Promises my family can make. If I break it, may I get ran over by a train…”

Sparity looked at him in confusion, why in equestria would somepony ever say that, even if for a silly little promise. Oh well, she got what she wanted, and with hardly a fight too. Sighing, she requested the knowledge of how to perform the card crafting spell and performed the ritual. Card now in hoof, Alternate Dawn placed the card in the tome and waved a hoof excitedly, “Thank you Miss Sparity. It is greatly appreciated.”

The hybrid rolled her eyes, adjusting her glasses as she spoke, “There, now that that is done, can we go eat lunch now?”

Alter shook his head, turning away from the mare, “Go on without me, I have to finish putting all of your books away. You’ve made quite a mess of the place last night.”

Oh, right… That was what he was doing beforehoof. Oh no! If he is the one putting all the books away, he’ll know what her tastes in reading material is. She must get away, and fast. The sudden realization of that hit her hard, forcing her to gallop off quickly, looking for their mothers.Opening the collection once more and looking at Sparity’s card again, he pondered aloud, “A dragon… Could she be? Time will tell...”

Eventually, Sparity found their parents about to eat lunch without her. Relieved that she made it, she took a seat beside them. Her mother, Rarity, scooted a little closer to her and whispered something that made the hybrid blush, “So… Where is your new friend? Did you tire him out already?”

At first, the lewd question sparked anger in her, but as she thought about it, another realization came upon her. She slammed her head on the tables and held it there, head in her hooves, “Oh no.. My kisses… First second and third, all gone…”

The dark unicorn frowned, a little concerned for her daughter’s welbeing. Twilight chimed in, drawing Rarity’s attention from her, “I’m sorry about my son’s behavior as of late. He had issues when it comes to taking other ponies feelings into consideration when science is involved.”

She placed a hoof on the table, stating what she felt should be pretty obvious, “Well, why don’t you tell him to behave? You are his mother, surely he’d listen to you.”

The Princess blushed hotly, looking away as she fiddled with her hoof slippers, an action that made the nightmare pony sigh audibly, “Well… It’s just that his research is vary useful to both me, and the scientific community. And the only way for him to collect as much data as he does is by kissing ponies. Honestly, I don’t want to be the one doing that and he is always so eager to do so…”

“Why am I not surprised…”

A light bulb went off over Rarity’s head. Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Wait, a third kiss. What would he need with a third card when you only have two forms?”

Looking up from her hooves, the mare answered dryly, “He needed somepony to make an ID card of him and seeing as I was the only pony willing to kiss him, he asked me to do it.”

She sighed, placing her head back in her hooves, “In exchange, I made him promise not to kiss anypony without permission, again.”

Well, that certainly solved that problem, but another one soon came to her. Looking around the table, she noticed that a certain dragon was missing, “Wait… Mom? Where is dad? I haven’t seen him since I got up.”

Rarity placed a hoof on her mouth to drown out the sigh she was going to let out. Exasperation dealt with, she stated, “In the medical ward… For some odd reason, we found him eating the castle wall.”

“It’s inedible, even for dragons.”

Twilight piped up, “Speaking of eating, I believe lunch is ready.”

As if on queue, a bunch of plates filled with food jutted out from atop the table. Twilight smiled, calling out, “Thank you Owly, you are dismissed.”

“Yes miss Twilight.”

Twilight levitated some food towards her and smiled, “After lunch, we can head to Carousel Boutique where we can discuss your living arrangements.”

Raising an eyebrow, the dark Unicorn asked her friend, “My Boutique is still open? Who is running it?”

The Princesses answer rocked her to the vary core, “Why, Sweetie Belle’s descendant of course! Sweetie wanted to make sure it was still up and running, just like it used to be just in case you returned.”

To say that Rarity was speechless would be an understatement.
