We arrived at Rarity's boutique and I was just staring at how fancy and exquisite the boutique was. Twilight knocked on the door, we waited for 6 minutes until a white unicorn mare with a purple mane who is probably Rarity. ''Oh, Twilight darling. I didn't expect to see you today dear.'', she said in an excellent voice. ''It's good to see you too, Rarity. I have someone I like for you to meet.'', Twilight said while using her hoof to point to me. ''Greetings ma'am, I'm Shadow Flare. I'm new here to Ponyville and Twilight wanted me to meet you.'', I said as formal I could be. Rarity scooted up front of me quickly and examined me by every detail,''You seem like a very handsome stallion, darling. '', Rarity said in a motherly tone. ''Why thank you ma'am.'', I said, liking the compliment,''And the way you look is unique and mysterious, I like mysterious.'', said Rarity, with her fancy Canterlot talk. I blush with a bit of embarrassment, I chuckle,''It is very nice of you to like the way I look.'', I said to Rarity without trying to studder. ''Well, it was nice meeting you darling, but I got lots of dresses to make fore Fancy Pants' model. Toodles.'', Rarity left into her boutique and shut the door. I turn my head to Twilight and say,''She's nice, isn't she?'', Twilight noded,''She's a very generous pony Shadow. You might get a suit hoof-made from her.'', Twilight said as she turned around and I followed. Twilight leaded me to a place out at the edge of Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight told me it's a apple farm that has been around since the beginning of Ponyville and that her friend named, Applejack, works there. We made it to the acres part of Sweet Apple Acres and that's when I saw Applejack, she seemed like one of those old west cowgirls, since I lived in the west of America. We approched Applejack after she bucked a apple tree to get the apples down. Twilight told me that apple-bucking is when a pony uses their hind legs to hit the tree hard enough to force the apples off the branches. ''Howdy Twi, how are ya?'', asked Applejack in a happy mood,''I'm good, AJ. You seem in a cheerful mood.'', Twilight wondered. ''In a few days, Zap Apple Season will start and Ah can wait for it to come!'', Applejack said in a happy tone. ''Zap Apple Season?'', I asked in confusion, AJ looks at me and says,''Ya don't know what Zap Apple Season is? Zap Apples are rainbow colored apples that are made by a special type of lightning bolt on the trees. And Zap Apple Season is when we make anything that involves apples with Zap Apples instead of using normal apples.'', I was amazed by the sound of how this works. ''That sounds...awesome!'', I said out loud for no reason, I chuckled in embarrassment,''Ya funny, sugarcube.'', AJ said. Twilight walked beside me,''We better get going, I hope you go to Shadow's party AJ.'', Twilight said, Applejack tilted to the side in confusion. ''Oh, this is Shadow Flare. He is new here.'', Twilight introduced her to me,''Nice to meet you sugarcube. You must already know that I'm Applejack, or call me AJ.'', Aj said in a nice welcoming tone. Me and Twilight were about to head to her friend, Fluttershy's, cottage as she says until me and Twilight got teleported to what seemed to be a throne room to a old recolored castle in a modern era. I turned around and saw another winged unicorn, but she had white fur and a  flowing mane with four different colors in it as she sits on her throne. I noticed a crown on her head and then Twilight saw her too, I bowed for the white winged unicorn since she was a queen. Twilight trotted to her and said,''Princess Celestia!'', in a happy tone. My eyes widened and got up on my hooves properly. ''It is good to have you here Twilight, but there is danger to Equestria again and I need you and your friends to defeat this threat.'', Celestia said in happy to a serious tone. The princess noticed me and it seemed like she knew me,''And take your new friend to help.'', Celestia said to Twilight. Twilight looked at me then back to the princess,''But princess he's just a normal Pegasus, I don't know if he can do to help.'', Twilight said in concern of me. Celestia smiled,''Trust me, he might just be a more of a surprise than he looks.'', said Celestia as like she knows something. ''Now, go my little ponies and save Equestria.'', Celestia said before she teleported us back to Equestria.
