"Welcome ladies and gentleponies of Ponyville!"

Princess Twilight Sparkle stood at the pedestral on a huge place in front of the School of Friendship, next to her her five best friends and Spike. A crowd of ponies already gathered on the place, ready to listen to her announcement.

"Today will be an important date, so we invited you to come to our School of Friendship. There'll be food and an entertainment program available," Twilight announced into the microphone.

The crowd bowed to each other and whispered nervously.

Twilight just wanted to call for attention, but another voice moaned, "Ugh come on please!!"

Out of nowhere, Discord, the Lord of Chaos, popped out in front of Twilight. Apparently, he has been disguised as the microphone all the time, without anyone noticing.

Twilight tumbled back and released a shocked scream. Some ponies from the crowd giggled amused, while others reacted as shocked as Twilight.

"Discord!" she yelled, "What are you doing here? You aren't supposed to appear, before I'm finished with my speech!"

She revealed a paper scroll, which was so long, that it already reached the bottom.

"Oh yeah your speech – " Discord picked up Twilight's scroll and stared at it for some moments " – When will you finally come to the point, that is important for today?"

Discord dropped the scroll again. He demonstratively turned to the crowd and raised his two mishmashed arms.

"Today, it's the premiere of the opening ooooof... – " Discord breathed heavily, snapped with his fingers and made a drumset appear, so he could simulate the drum sounds. " – DISCORD'S OWN AMUSEMENT PARK!"

Discord turned energetically around and made the drumset disappear again.

"Discord's amusement park?" Several ponies in the crowd were confused.

"That's amazing, isn't it? I know, my antics are awesome, but now, it's up to you to enjoy them! – " Discord turned his body to Pinkie Pie and pointed at her. " – Pinkie Pie, not it's time for your party canon!"

"Is it?" Pinkie asked.

"Okay alright alright." Twilight came to word again.

She spoke into a new microphone and pushed Discord aside, "Discord was right. Today, we'll open Discord's amusement park for everyone."

"So you can all see with your own eyes, that Discord has truly changed and won't hurt anyone anymore," Fluttershy continued.

"Don't worry, we gave Discord a cutie mark, which will glow every time, when anyone is in danger, so Discord is obliged to teleport to the place and rescue the pony, who is in danger," Applejack explained.

She pointed at Discord's goat flank, where there's a poker card shaped cutie mark now.

Discord looked at it and slightly moaned, "It's like I'm a pony now!"

"However, we prohibited Discord to put any too dangerous things into the park, so it'll be okay 99% of the time," Spike said.

"From exotic mane studios," Rarity said.

"To eatable cotton candy clouds, from which chocolate milk rains," Rainbow Dash added.

"PARTY CANON!!" Pinkie yelled loudly.

She shooted confetti and cupcakes out of her party canon.

The crowd still looked confused, but more and more of them began to cheer and applaude. Some of them were able to catch some cupcakes, before they reached the ground.

"You've been planning this speech for weeks, have you?" Discord asked while he bit into a cupcake.

The Mane 6 and Spike nodded in pride. They confidently looked at the crowd.

***

"Listen to me!"

Twilight tried to call for the attention of the chatting crowd.

Many of them were still excited about the recent news of Discord's amusement park, chatting with each other and eating the cupcakes, they got.

Discord snapped with his fingers several times, until the crowd turned to Twilight again, curious about what she will say next.

"I've got another announcement for today," she said. "You might all remember these six students of our school, who saved Equestria from Cozy Glow. They deserved to be honored for their effort and courage, otherwise, all the magic would have been drained away."

"Sandbar, Gallus, Silverstream, Ocellus, Smolder and Yona." Twilight waved with her hoof to the Young Six. "Come up here. It's time for your speech."

The Young Six, all disguised in their graduation gowns, went up to the pedestral, to the speech table where Twilight stood before. The crowd applauded and some students even complimented their classmates.

"Thank you very much. We all really appreciate your honor," Ocellus said calmly into the microphone. "Actually, at first, we were scared and afraid as well. Cozy Glow wasn't stupid. Nor was she weak. Our teachers weren't here and the fate of Equestria lied on our shoulders. I don't want to know, what would have happened, if we failed. Luckily, we didn't and I doubt, that Cozy will ever return. So, if you've got any questions, stand in one line and we will answer them by order. But remember, we are ordinary students as well, so no need to praise us too much."

Some ponies, mainly students, among the crowd instantly made one line in front of the pedestral.

"That's awesome!" an excited voice squeaked.

It came from a blue unicorn standing at the top of the line, looking at Ocellus.

"I've got a tons of questions for you and I'm really excited to ask all of them!" she said in a high velocity. "Oh sorry, I nearly forgot to tell you my name. I'm Precious-la and my first question is: Is this your first time saving Equestria?"

"Yes, it is..."

"Wait!"

Precious-la raised her left hoof and disappeared by teleporting away. Soon, she appeared again with a notebook and a quill holded by her magic.

"Now I'm ready!" she exclaimed.

Ocellus nodded and coughed slightly.

Then she explained, "Yes, it is our first time saving Equestria, but I don't think, it'll be a permanent thing, since we had no other choice using the Elements of Harmony. Remember, our teachers went away and didn't return."

"That sounds so cool! I wish I could save Equestria as well like you and our teachers," Precious-la exclaimed in excitement, after had written down Ocellus' answer. "The Elements of Harmony are really amazing!"

"I take is as a compliment, so thanks," Smolder said, looking proud.

"Yeah! Thanks", Silverstream agreed.

"But I've got so many other questions as well. Like how you excactly found such a strong bonding, whether there are any other Elements of Harmony, whether you read the newspaper article about you."

Precious-la took out a newspaper article, which showed a huge but moving photo of the Young Six wearing the excactly same gowns like they're wearing now. The title of the article was written in a particulary huge size above the photo, "Friendship Students saved Equestria from their Classmate."

"Yona read newspaper!" Yona took the newspaper and read it with excitement.

But Precious-la went on talking.

"Whether your relatives will come and ooh." Her round face lighted up. "Besides mine will come, for example my childhood friend Lithium Evergreen, with whom I went to elementary school in Manehattan, you know, the school I attended before Princess Twilight's school. And, so now you can answer all my questions. Besides, I have more!"

"Almost every of your questions is pretty complex, so I doubt, that we can answer them all," Sandbar said.

"And we've got a lot of other guests as well." Gallus pointed at the waiting line. "So might you keep all these questions for later, when we checked all of through them?"

Precious-la looked at the long line. "Oh uhm right."

She was slightly disappointed, but eventually stepped back to let the pony standing behind her asking her questions to the Young Six.

Twilight noticed her and trotted into her direction.

"Today, we'll enroll a new student in our school and since you're one of our best students, I ask you to fetch her from the train station," she explained calmly.

Precious-la nodded, still glancing at the Young Six having fun together.

"Her name is Autumn Blaze and she's a kirin," Twilight added. "Meanwhile, the train must already have arrived in Ponyville. You'll notice her soon."

"Alright, got it!"

Precious-la jumped up frantically, proud to fulfill her "duties" as the star student of the princess.

"And with some luck, I can even meet with Lily," she squealed, ready to run to the train station. "I haven't seen her for a while!"

"Wait!" a voice behind her exclaimed.

It was Gallus and he sprinted behind the unicorn.

"We decided to split up the long line into six shorter lines, so we can answer your questions again," Gallus made clear

He pointed at his friends. The rest of the Young Six indeed splitted up the long line of waiting ponies.

"Thanks but I have to fetch Autumn Blaze anyways," Precious-la responded cheerfully but politely.

Gallus nodded in agreement.

"Besides, my relatives will also come," he added. "My older sister Gilda and my younger Gabby, but they're not actually my sisters. You could also meet them on your way to the train station."

"So will I meet Lily," Precious-la said happily.

"I hope, you get along with Lithium."

With these words, Gallus waved his claws on farewell. Then, he joined his clique again, ready to answer questions.

Precious-la watched them for a while, before she happily went direction train station.

***

At the train station in Ponyville, Precious-la instantly noticed a white kirin with a brown mane and eager eyes stepping out of the arriving train. That was Autumn Blaze. Precious-la went to her and introduced herself.

"Hello! You're supposed to be Autumn Blaze and you're new at the School of Friendship, right?" Precious-la shook Autumn Blaze's hoof. "I'm Precious-la and Princess Twilight Sparkle asked me to fetch you from the train station."

"Hello, nice to meet you as well!" Autumn Blaze replied delightly. "I came here to learn some more Friendship, since I lived in loneliness for a long period of time until two of your teachers solved our friendship problem, well long story."

"THEY SOLVE FRIENDSHIP PROBLEMS??" Precious-la gasped in unbelief.

"Excuse me?" Autumn Blaze was confused.

"It's so exciting to travel through all the world and solve friendship problems like yours and so, I already knew it, since every time, one of our teacher's flank began to glow, we get a substitute teacher like Miss Starlight Glimmer or the 'Great and Powerful' Trixie, but it's just so amazing, that they rule a whole school, solve friendship problems AND save Equestria at the same time, you know? And d'you know the students of our school, who saved whole Equestria from the evil Cozy Glow, who made my magic unable to functionate?"

Precious-la started to talk in a high velocity again, as always when she's excited. Though, that didn't bother Autumn Blaze anyways.

"Oh really? You've read the news as well? That's awesome!" Autumn Blaze answered excited. "In our kirin village, I already thought, something was wrong, as my magic didn't work and some of us even panicked and we almost blew up the village twice, but luckily, the vanishing magic also absorbed our ability to turn into niriks, you know the evil form of kirins, who can destroy a whole village. Anyhow, holy yes, they were amazing and they're going to be in our class!!!"

"Well not excactly our class," Precious-la replied, "because I'm not in their class, but there's a chance. But still: cool!!"

"Totally!" Autumn Blaze agreed and bounced around. "We're getting along really well!"

"Yes, you're saying it!"

"You look like fun and I apparently look like fun, so that bonds us together!" Autumn Blaze explained happily.

"Do I look like fun?" Precious-la asked sarkastically. "Are you serious?"

The two students giggled for a while, but were interrupted by a second train arriving at the station.

"Oh, it must be Lithium, my fillyhood best friend! And along with her Gallus' siblings! They're sure all excited to see you, I'm sure!" – Precious-la pointed at the arriving train – "And you know, the opening party of Discord's amusement park will be such a fun with us together."

The train got slower and slower, until it stopped and finally opened its doors. But it wasn't Lithium, who stepped out of it. Nor was it any of Gallus' siblings.

Instead, it was a pink earth pony with a purple mane, not older than 12. She rushed out of the train, even before it halted, sprinted through whole Ponyville, crashed into several ponies and objects, running blindly but hastily, couldn't see what was going on, until she stopped in front of the School of Friendship.

She pushed the crowd aside, while some ponies complained angrily. They glared at that mysterious pony, when she entered the pedestral and grabbed at the microphone.

Silverstream, who was holding it a moment ago, tumbled backwards. She was confused. But the pink pony didn't even apologize to her.

She literally shouted into the microphone, "Everypony! Danger! Danger! Accident at train! Serious accident!"

Diamond Tiara panted hastily with a tiara in her right hoof instead on her head. She was pale in her face, barely unable to talk.

Author's Note

Precious-la isn't canon, because she's my pony OC, to make it clear here.

Her appearance is simple: She's a light blue unicorn and has a fire red mane and dark, purple eyes, just like Twilight's. And she's born in the year 2004.

She's also a student at Twilight's School of Friendship and her main characteristics are overly happy, often cheerful and excited, but can soon get annoying. She's usually good at school.

Lithium Evergreen is also my OC and also an unicorn, but she hasn't an appearance yet.
