Fizzlepop sighed as she glared at the last ticket “Right so what should we do with this last ticket?”

Spike blinked in confusion “We should give to one of our friends, isn’t it obvious?’

Moonlight flew up to his face and bopped his snout “Yews but who should we give to, I’m pretty sure all of them except maybe Fluttershy will want to go for one reason or another.”

Spike frowned “True but maybe you can make the decision after talking to each of them, it will help if you know why they are going?”

Fizzlepop sighed “Well that’s true, let’s just hope the town doesn’t freak out.”

Moonlight rolled her eyes “I doubt, let’s go to Applejack’s farm, hopefully she will be rational.”

Fizzlepop frowned turned to Spike “Spike I trust you can manage the Library while I’m away, I would like to get this resolved soon.”

Spike smiled “Of course, I’ll be fine.”

Fizzlepop smiled “Good we’ll be going then, come on.” Moonlight flew onto her back and the two headed directly for Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was taking a short break as Fizzlepop walked towards her.

Applejack smiled “Fizzlepop, I thought you were busy getting stuff for Moonlight?”

Moonlight smiled “We’re done actually, it’s that Princess Celestia sent us something important and we were going to ask if you wanted it so we could make a decision on who gets it.”

Fizzlepop frowned “We have one spare ticket for Grand Galloping Gala and we were...”

Applejack shouted “You have a ticket for the Grand galloping Gala?! With one of those I could open a stall and get enough money to fix our rusty plough, holey roof and Granny Smith’s saggy old hip, I would give my hind leg to go to the Gala.”

Tempest frowned “That is a pretty good reason but I will have to ask…”

Suddenly Rainbow Dash rushed over excitedly “You have a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala?”

Applejack growled ‘Where were you when Ah was bucking all these trees?!”

Rainbow grinned “Napping” she then turned to Fizzlepop “I heard you had an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala and that the Wonderbolts are there every year I will be finally able to show them my stuff please take me.”

Applejack scowled “Now just wait a darn minute, that ticket is not yours.”

Fizzlepop shouted “Enough, I have to ask the others if they want to go as well.” She left the two ponies in the field as she walked way from the farm.

Moonlight frowned as they re-entered Ponyville central “Great now we are going to have to tell…”

They had bumped into Rarity who had just caught the ticket, she shrieked “You have a ticket to the Gala, you got to take me. There I will trot through the gala wearing the finest of cloth, so much so that the Canterlot Elite would have no idea of my origins and that Princess Celestia in all her magnificent glory will allow to meet him the brave, heroic stallion that one could ever meet, together our courtship would be magnificent and he would ask for my hoof in marriage ad of course I would say yes.”

Fizzlepop giggled at the thought of Blueblood running off to slay a dragon in the middle of their wedding. Pinkie then bounced over discovering the ticket and signing a song about it. Tempest sighed “I’m not sure of who I should give the ticket to and I haven’t asked…”

Fluttershy trotted over quietly “You said you have a spare Gala Ticket?”

Tempest nodded “Why do you want go to the Gala?”

Fluttershy smiled “Well it’s not the Gala, so much I just want to see all the animals in the royal gardens, Hummingbirds and Buzzards just to name a few.”

She frowned “Rainbow Dash, Applejack why did you follow us?”

Applejack growled “I didn’t want anyone to snag mah ticket!”

Moonlight growled “It’s not anyone’s ticket until mum decides it is!” Her stomach rumbled.

Tempest frowned “I need to get my daughter some food, so I’ll see you all later when I’ve made my decision.”

Fizzlepop headed to the local Cafe with Moonlight where they ordered a couple of haywiches, Moonlight smiled “This is great food.”

Fizzlepop smiled as she put a barrier over them daughter so the rain wouldn’t fall on them while they were eating. They soon left with a smile the rain soon passing as the storm dissipated. Applejack soon began offering her and Moonlight a whole bunch of treats for free.

Fizzlepop and Moonlight however one being who being Celestia’s student was taught to watch for ponies trying to take advantage of them and the other having a Princesses memories of ponies trying to suck up to them instantly recognised the ploy and left.

They returned to the Library to see Fluttershy’s rabbit and her cleaning. Moonlight frowned “You are not doing for the ticket are you?”

Fluttershy nodded, Fizzlepop sighed “You are not making this any easier on but at least your being honest.” The two left only for Pinkie begin singing only for everypony in town to chase them, the just as they were running past a building they quickly pulled into it before anypony could see them.

They looked up to see Rarity closing the windows with her magic. Rarity turned to them “I’m glad you are alright, that was rude of them.”

Fizzlepop frowned “Are you…”

Rarity turned away “No, what you said to me about nobles and how they weren’t the kind of ponies I should interact with I took omelet time to realise just how selfish I had been. I have lived here for years yet I have considered almost everypony in this town at best uncouth and at worst a savage, I had let my goals and wishes of fame overcome my relation to the ponies around me and I am actively trying to change that.”

Moonlight sighed “You're certainly more reasonable then most have been today.”

Rarity smiled as she pulled out a dusty brown cowl “I have about four of these, I use them when I wish to sneak out of the boutique without being noticed.”

Fizzlepop raised an eyebrow but said nothing as she left the Library with Fizzlepop wearing a cowl Moonlight hiding under it. Spike frowned as the two entered leaving the cloak by the door “Are you okay, I heard the commotion.”

Fizzlepop nodded as she magically closed all the windows and curtains with the glow of her horn “Spike everyone except Rarity kept trying to convince me to give them ticket in exchange for favours, I’m going to return the tickets it isn’t right for us to go without our friends.”

A few moments later Rarity entered under another dusty brown cowl before the rest of their friends entered. They all gave her an apology, Fizzlepop sighed “Look I can’t pick one of you so I decided I can’t go without any of you and I’m sending the tickets back.”

Applejack rubbed the back of her head “Sugarcube you don’t have to send them back if you don’t want to.”

Spike frowned “These tickets have caused nothing but trouble and we are sending them back.”

He grabbed a letter Fizzlepop had written and placed the tickets within in them before sending them back in a burst of green flame. Moonlight frowned “Now I hope you’ve learned your lesson about putting too much pressure on you friends.”

Before anypony or dragon could speak Spike burped out a letter, Fizzlepop picked it up and read it

To My Faithful student

Why didn’t you inform me, there are five extra tickets plus the ones I already sent you. I hope you enjoy the Gala.

From you Grateful Teacher Princess Celestia

Fizzlepop smiled as she pulled out the nine tickets “Looks like we will all be going to the Grand Galloping Gala.”

Rarity smiled “Well let me treat you all to dinner so we can celebrate, plus I need some ideas for some dresses form all of you come on.” Rainbow and Pinkie Pie cheered as Applejack followed them out the door amused with Fluttershy trailing behind.

Moonlight gave Spike what could only be described as puppy dog eyes “Come on Spike there is food awaiting us.” Spike sighed as he followed them to the local diner for a simple meal.
