The Alicorn Ritual

Twilight was rushing, she was so excited to get everything set up. Spike was helping her and their friends with the decorations. Two hours later, everything was ready, and they sent out the invitations.

They said:

"Dear Friends and Family,

My friends and I would love to invite you to a special party. It is my parents' 23rd anniversary. The party will be at my castle, starting at high noon. My parents would love it if they could see you.

Signed, Princess Twilight Sparkle"

Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a brilliant idea: First, blindfold Night Light and Twilight Velvet. Second, lead them into the room. Next, turn on the lights and surprise them. Finally, begin the party.

"Rainbow, I think you have a great strategy in mind.", Twilight said calmly. "Neighsay and his comrades have been doing well with their new career as a rescue team, and they are proud of themselves for getting rewards recently. He has asked to meet my parents, and I said yes."

Little did any of them know, that someone else was planning their own surprise...
