Twilight frowned handing Spike a piece of paper“Spike here is the list of ponies you need to meet with, you and Fizzlepop are going to be there to make sure everything goes smoothly.”

Spike shrugged “Don’t worry it will be fine.”

Twilight scowled her horn glowing with magic “Spike, this is serious you and Fizzlepop are leaving in an hour so you better be ready by then!”

Spike left quickly to gather Fizzlepop, Sunburst frowned “That was harsh.”

Twilight frowned “This is the most important day of the year, we can’t have them muck this up.”

Sunburst sighed “Come on lay down, they will handle this now.” Twilight laid down on the nearby couch, Sunburst trotted over and then slowly massaging her back, Twilight smiled as she melted “Thanks Sunburst.”

Sunburst smiled “Relax, all will be well.”

Meanwhile Spike barges into Fizzlepop’s room, Fizzlepop smiled “Look at this Spike, it appear that our friends have been making waves.”

She shows him a paper from Manehatten two months, he read “Trixie Lulamoon and Starlight Glimmer awarded a medal for bravery for…” he turned to Fizzlepop his eyes wide “luring an Ursa Major away from the city!”

Fizzlepop smiled “Yes exactly they are doing well.”

Spike shook his head “Come on we got to check on Ponyville’s preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration we will be leaving in forty five minutes!”

Fizzlepop rolled her eyes her horn glowing as a giant magic hand pointed to the saddle bags and backpack on the bed “I packed our bags last night, I offered to check on the local affair at the Summer Sun Celebration for Twilight remember, I may not be little miss organised but I do still prepare when necessary.”

Forty-Five minutes later the pair were sitting in the carriage pulled by four pegasi guards, Fizzlepop smiled “First time out of Canterlot, I must admit I am truly excited.”

Spike smiled as she looked down at the colourful wooden buildings with roofs made of perfectly aligned hay “Well we’re almost there.”

The golden carriage landed as the Half-Mystra and Dragon departed the carriage, they waved goodbye as the carriage left. Fizzlepop saw a pink pony bouncing through the square, she trotted over “Hello my name is…” She raised an eyebrow as the pony gasped jumping into in the air and darted away ;lightning fast away from the pair.

Spike frowned “That’s weird.”

Fizzlepop rolled her eyes “Not really, it’s not everyday you see a dragon and a bipedal unicorn.”

Spike nodded “True” he then turned to his paper now we have to go and see a mare named Applejack at Sweet Apple she is working with a mare named Pinkie Pie to cater for the event.

Fizzlepop frowned “I believe we met Pinkie Pie already so let’s go and meet with Applejack.” The two walked through the town getting odd looks from the local populace they arrived at the farm.

Fizzlepop blinked as she saw an orange mare bucking trees, she blushed (Sweet Celestia she is ripped) she could see the muscles rippling with each kick (I really needed to get out of Canterlot.) Her blush grew as the strong mare trotted towards her and Spike.

The orange mare smiled as she tilted her stetson mounted atop her blonde mane “Hello mah name is Applejack it’s good to see more folk around her, now how can I help you?”

Fizzlepop shook her head glad the mare didn’t notice her blush “We are here to check on the catering for the Summer Sun Celebration.”

Spike smiled coyly “Yes now if my mother wouldn’t get distracted we can actually continue.”

Fizzlepop blushed as Applejack frowned “Mother, she doesn’t look like your mother.”

Spike deadpanned “Adopted , she has hatched my egg and taken care of me since she was a foal.”

Applejack frowned “Why would somepony so young be given such a responsibility?”

Spike nudged Fizzlepop, Fizzlepop frowned shaking her head “What?”

Applejack frowned “Why were you allowed to raise him?” Fizzlepop grinned as her horn glowed revealing a pair of slitted opal eyes her mouth opening revealing razor sharp teeth, Applejack reared up in response “Whoa Nelly you’re a Kirin!”

Fizzlepop growled “The term is not Kirin, it’s Mystra and my mother is a Mystra, I’m only Half-Mystra otherwise I would have wings and scales in places!”

Spike shook his head “Look just show us the catering and we’ll be on our way.”

Applejack smiled “This way come this way.” They were guided to a small table, she then shouted “Soup’s on everypony!”

Spike asked “So what now?”

Applejack smiled “Now I’m going to introduce you to the family” she began shouting out names as ponies began galloping over from every direction “Apple Fritter, Apple Tart, Red Gala, Red Delicious…” Fizzlepop and Spike smiled as food piled up in front of them.

Spike frowned “Are you sure we can stay to eat all this food we have a lot of work to do?”

A little yellow filly whimpered “Aren’t you going to stay for Brunch?”

Fizzlepop grinned “You heard the filly they provided samples so dig in.” Spike sighed as the pair sat down and dove into the food.

Thirty minutes later Spike groaned as he slowly walked forward “I ate too much food.”

Fizzlepop sighed “You ate too much, just because you are a full dragon doesn’t make you a bottomless pit of consumption.” She frowned “So we need to… watch out!

She backflipped out of the way as a rainbow blur crashed into the ground, she looked up to see a blue pegasi mare with a rainbow mane groaning “Ow!”

Fizzlepop grimaced looked up to see the blue mare and blushed as she saw the lean muscles underneath her coat, the blue mare asked “Hey what are you.. you’re blushing why.”

Spike frowned “She finds you attractive, she is staring at your flank right now.”

Fizzlepop blushed harder “Spike!”

The blue mare blushed “Stop looking at my flank, I feel uncomfortable!”

Fizzlepop shook her head “Sorry, I just kinda haven’t seen strong attractive mares like you and Applejack where I live.”

The blue mare shook her head as well “Where did you come from anyway?!”

Fizzlepop said “Well actually I’m here from Canterlot to help preparations, I’m currently looking for a Rainbow Dash who’s in charge of weather.”

The blue mare grinned “That’s me Rainbow Dash Captain of Ponyville’s weather team and soon to be Wonderbolt.”

Spike frowned “You are to get those clouds cleared up by the time of the Celebration or else I will send Twilight at you she is scary.” He then dragged Fizzlepop away to the Town Hall.

Spike slapped her as they entered the Town Hall, Fizzlepop groaned “What was that for?”

Spike rolled his eyes “You were blushing madly and making her blush.”

Fizzlepop scowled “It’s not my fault I haven’t seen many strong sexy mares in Canterlot.”

Spike grimaced “Well let’s not get distracted first we have to speak with Rarity about decorations.” He then frowned as he saw a beautiful white mare with a purple mane “Come on Fizzlepop I believe that is her.” Fizzlepop nodded as the pair walked over to the mare.

Fizzlepop asked “You’re Rarity right I need to..”

Rarity smiling said “Darling just wait a moment I’m in the zone, Oh yes that red fits perfectly with that green.” she then turned around “Now how can I he..” she gasped “What happened to your horn, it’s so rough and coarse?!”

Fizzlepop grimaced “I put my horn under intensive strain regularly.”

Rarity shook her head “Now now I can’t have that come with me I…”

Fizzlepop shook her head “No, if I file my horn to be like yours it will snap under the force of the strain I put it under daily.”

Spike nodded “I’ve seen her work , her horn wouldn’t be able to take it otherwise.”

Rarity blinked “What could you possibly doing that would require..?”

Fizzlepop raised her hoof “It’s not important, I am just here from Canterlot to..”

Rarity voice rose several octaves “Canterlot, the glamour and wonder where only the most elite of ponies. The legendary Prince Blueblood the most noble and Chivalrous...”

Fizzlepop began to giggle while Spike laughed as they imagined her meeting Prince Blueblood him shouting (“Have at thee ,Dragon, I’m coming for you.” her shocked expression as he galloped off into the distance.)

Rarity then turned to Fizzlepop “Allow me to make you a dress as a sign of my appreciation that you have come to our fair town.”

Fizzlepop grimaced seriously “No thanks, look Canterlot is not all it’s cracked up to be. Celestia kept me from interacting with any of them, so clearly they are the kind of ponies that you shouldn't try interact with, anyway we have more work to do before the day is done.”

Spike nodded “We should be meeting with Fluttershy, she lives in a little cottage on the outskirts of town.” The two left leaving one stunned unicorn behind.

They walked out to see a small path leading to a cottage as they approached they heard a soft pleasant melody, Fizzlepop walked over with Spike “Excuse me are you Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy jumped before turning around, Fizzlepop approached Fluttershy' relaxed as she saw her eyes “You’re a Mystra?”

Fizzlepop smiled “Half actually my mother is Mystra, still I’m glad one pony knows what I am, this is my adopted son Spike.”

Spike bowed “It’s a pleasure to meet you, we just came here to check on the music and you seem to be doing really well.”

Fluttershy blushed “Thanks, um can I ask you a few questions on the way.”

Fizzlepop and Spike smiled “Sure, we are staying at the local library.”

Fluttershy nodded “The Golden Oaks Library, I’ll show you the way if you like.” The pair nodded still smiling, they happily discussed their lives mentioning old stories and more than few embarrassing ones Fluttershy giggling as they shot friendly jabs at one another.

They smiled “Fluttershy come and join us.”

Fluttershy sheepishly nodded “Okay.” As the soon as they entered they saw the room was dark before a pink pony jumped out bowling them over as many voices shouted in unison “Welcome Fizzlepop and Spike to Ponyville!”

Fizzlepop blinked with a smile as tears flooded her eyes “A party for us, thank you all.”

Spies smiled as he wiped her tears “Come on mum let’s party.”

Pinkie Pie bounced over as she smiled ‘Hi I’m Pinkie Pie I saw you were knew and I…”

Fizzlepop frowned “Could you please slow down just a little, how about we go get some punch and then we chat.”

Pinkie Pie smiled “Okie Dokie Lokie.”

All the ponies looked at her weirdly “How did you do that?”

Fizzlepop shrugged “Did what?” she walked over to Pinkie Pie were they had a long conversation about magic, cakes and magical cakes. All of Ponyville partied through out the night before heading out to the Town Hall for the Sunrise Ritual, none of them noticed that the unicorn symbol on the moon vanishing due to the sun’s presence in the sky.
