Canterlot 9:45pm

During the night in Canterlot. There were many ponies finished doing their works, and a Stallion was doing a fire show which amazed a lot of ponies, including Thorax and Abu.

"Splendid!" Said the ponies.

"You know what to do, Abu." Said Thorax as Abu climbed down from his head.

Abu ran up and distracted a royal guard who was guarding the front gate.

"Get off me! Get off me, you dirty monkey!" Said the guard trying to kick him away.

Then Thorax stole a stallion coat and went inside the palace with Abu.

"Close the gate!" Said a guard.

Garble saw everything on the roof.

"Dirty monkey!" Said Garble as he flew to his master's library. "Street thief. Street thief."

Inside Sombra's library

Sombra was taking off his hat, and remembering what Nightlight said to him.

"Remember your place, Sombra." He said to himself.

"Remember your place!" Said Garble.

"If I hear that one more time." Said Sombra glaring at him.

Garble then covered himself with his wings in fear.

"Sorry, master."

"Another petty insult from that small-minded fool." Said Sombra as he walked down the stairs further into his library, and Garble was following him.

"He sees a city where I see an empire."

"Such vision." Said Garble.

"once that lamp sits in my hoof." Said Sombra as he took a deep breath and released "Then I shall sit on his throne." He finished.

"Thief. Thief in the palace." Garble told him.

"Thief in the palace?" Sombra asked raising an eyebrow.

"That's what I said. Thief!"

"What have you seen, Garble?" Sombra asked walking up to him.

"Diamond in the rough." He replied.

On the palaces roof

Thorax was running and parkouring on the palaces roof to get to return the bracelet to Starlight, and Sombra saw him from his library.

Thorax jumped down on a level of a castle which made a 'thump!' noise as he landed, then he hid behind a pillar. The two royal guards got attracted by the noise, so they turned around but eventually they saw nothing, and they resumed their patrol.

Then Thorax entered a room and saw five stallions in the room cleaning it.

"I told you, now, come on! Bigger circles. Bigger circles."

Then Thorax grabbed a coat from a chair and proceeded to find Starlight, and Sombra was watching him while holding his staff and Garble on his head. And they saw the stallion changeling holding a tray with a tea pot and tea leaves.

"Who's a clever colt?" Asked Garble as he flew off Sombra's head. Then Sombra reentered the way he came through.

Twilight's bedroom

"But Starlight, there has to be something I can do." Said Twilight.

"A handsome prince wants to marry you. When will life get easier?" Starlight asked doing Twilight's hair.

"It's not that I don't want to marry, it's just..."

"You want to be sultan. But why?" Starlight asked as she finished doing Twilight's hair.

Twilight turned around and looked at her.

"Do you remember my mother used to say we would only ever be as happy as our least happy subject?" Twilight asked her.

"If she saw what I saw today, she would be heartbroken." She told her.

"She would also want you to be safe." Starlight told her "And clean. I'll draw the bath." Starlight reminded as she went to Twilight's bathroom.

"Sombra's guard on every corner. Soon, he'd have them invading our neighbors, risking lives, for what?" Twilight asked, but Starlight didn't replied to her, she kept walking to her bathroom.

"I can help." Said Twilight as she turned around "I know I can. I was born to do more than marry some useless prince."

"If you had to marry a useless prince, you could certainly do worse than this one." Starlight told her "He's tall and handsome. And yes, he's a little dim, but you're just getting married. It's not like you have to talk to him."

Twilight gave an irritated look at Starlight when she heard that.

"But you'd prefer that stallion changeling from the market." Said Starlight as she went to her bathroom, and Twilight rolled her eyes.

Then she heard a knocking from her bedroom door. So she walked up to her door and opened it, and she saw a stallion who had his back facing against her.

"Can I help you?" She asked the stallion.

Then the stallion turned around and Twilight quickly recognized that it was Thorax. And she had her eyes wide opened in shock.

"Tea?" Thorax asked showing her the tray with teas.

"You? You! What are you doing here? Get in here." Said Twilight pulling him in her room.

"I came back to return your bracelet." He told her.

"My bracelet? Where is it?" She asked him.

"On your hoof."

"What?" Twilight asked looking down at her hooves, and she saw her bracelet on her left hoof.

"Not bad." Said Thorax amazed at Twilight's large bedroom "I like what she's done with the place." He finished.

"How did you get past the guards?" Twilight asked him.

Thorax turned around and looked at her

"That was challenging, but I have my ways." He told her.

Twilight was truly amazed at his skills.

"While the princess is out, would you like to go for a stroll? Have a little chat?" Thorax asked her hoping that she will say yes.

"You are unbelievable." Said Twilight amazed. "You cannot just break into a palace and walk around like you own the place." She told him.

"If you don't have anything, you have to act like you own everything." He told her, then he asked her out for a walk again "So, what do you say? I did find your bracelet."

"You did not find it, you stole it!" She corrected him.

"Correction, the monkey stole it." Thorax corrected her as well.

"He's your monkey." Said Twilight.

"He's still just a monkey."

"Who ordered the tea?"

The two of them turned around and saw Starlight, but to Thorax he saw a light purple mare with violet hair.

"Uh..."

"I did." Said Twilight. "For you, Princess Twilight." She said, and Starlight gave her a confused look.

Then Twilight told her to pretended that she was her.

"Your Majesty!" Said Thorax taking a bow.

"Why are you being weird?" Starlight asked Twilight.

Then Thorax looked at Twilight, and she stopped doing what she did and smiled at him and he smiled back.

Then Twilight gave Starlight a hoof action and told her to pretended that she was her, and Starlight understood what she wanted him to do.

"I'm the princess. Yes. And it is good to be me with all my palaces and wagons of gold things, and dresses for every hour of the day. Now it's time for my dragon to be cleaned." Said Starlight as she returned to the bathroom.

Thorax had a confused look from that, then he looked at Twilight.

"She doesn't get out much." She said.

"mhmm. Clearly." Said Thorax putting the tray of teas he was holding on a table. Then he noticed a small dragon growling at him.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the bath?" Thorax asked nervously.

Then Spike sniffed his cloth his stole.

"Servant mare, this dragon isn't going to clean itself!" Starlight told Twilight.

"But don't dragons hate baths?" Thorax asked.

"You have to go now." Said Twilight grabbing Thorax's hoof and pulled him to the exit of her bedroom.

Thorax shrugged and said "Okay. But I'm coming back tomorrow night." He told her.

"What? No, you can't."

"Meet me in the courtyard beside the fountain when the moon is above the minaret." He said, then he took her hair band.

"To return this." Said Thorax, then he pushed her hair to the side a little.

"I promise." He told her, then he pulled the door opened and left her room. And Twilight smiled.
