Celestia has been planning an event to bring the ponies of Equestria together, and Twilight and her friends offer their assistance in setting up the festivities, but unbeknownst to anypony, the next week of games and parties will lead the mane 6 to make friendships with 6 strangers that will become more important than any of them would ever consider.

Not so much of a one shot as an introduction to an upcoming series. More details in a blog on my page if anyone is curious. Hoping to get the first part of the series up within the next week, each story will begin and end at the same point, but from the different adventure each of the mane 6 will embark upon.
Huge thanks to Quills for proofreading, and checking the story for me first. Hope everyone enjoys the first part of The Magic of Friendship.
