Celestia knocks on her sister’s chamber door. “Luna are you awake?” Celestia puts her ear to the door to listen if Her Sister Luna responds.
“Sister? Come in,” Luna opens the door and lets Celestia in. “I trust you’re here because you also felt that strange surge of magic?” Luna stands next to Celestia looking at her with worry in her eyes.
“Yes Luna, I felt the surge, but I can’t figure out what it was, it was there for only a moment then it vanished entirely,” Celestia canters over to Luna’s Balcony and looks in the direction of the Magical Surge. “I fear we may either be in terrible trouble, or it was just a strange occurrence, but there is no way to tell unless it were to happen again,”
“Tia, do you think Discord is the cause of this magic?” Luna looked in the same direction as Celestia. “Maybe we investigate after the Summer sun celebration as to not entice any panic to our subjects,”
“I think you’re right Sister, we will wait until after the celebration to investigate this matter for now I think you should sleep so you can be ready for your nightly duties,” Celestia looked toward Luna.
“Alright sister, I shall go back to sleep, let’s hope that magical surge doesn’t happen again,” Luna cantered over to her bed while Celestia went for the Door.
“Have a beautiful rest sister,” Celestia said in a motherly tone before she left and closed the door. “I only hope whatever that was isn’t malicious,”

We join Twilight and her friends as they are in the castle admiring the Stained glass portrait of Twilight being Crowned a Princess!
“You look amazing Darling, they’ve really captured your reality,” Rarity says with her Hoove over her heart. Twilight lowers her head a little.
“I suppose,” Twilight adds, Rarity then waves a hoove at twilight.
“Oh don’t be so modest, it’s everypony’s dream to someday wear a crown and have their coronation ceremony preserved in stained glass for all to see,” Rarity says with a lot of enthusiasm.
“I don’t know if it’s everypony’s dream,” Rainbow says floating in the air next to Rarity and Twilight. Pinkie then jumps in front of everypony excited.
“Most of my dreams are about frosting!” She then licks her lips and starts drooling a little. A Pink maned Yellow Pegasus known as Fluttershy moves forward a little to get everypony’s attention.
“We better get going, we don’t want to miss our train,” she then turns around and starts cantering away.
“Fluttershy’s right, don’t know about ya’ll but I’ve still got bushels to do to get ready,” Applejack says and turns toward Fluttershy. “The official celebration may be here in Canterlot, but Hoowee has the mayor put us in charge of one heck of a party back home,” Twilight lowers her head and her ears droop down, Applejack turns back towards her and raises her head with a Hoof. “Aww don’t look like that sugar cube, you get to be right there with the other princesses when Celestia raises the sun,”
“And I’m honored, really I am, *Sigh* It’s just the summer sun celebration is what first brought us all together,” Twilight’s other friends canter up to her. “It just doesn’t feel right not getting to spend such a special day with my Ponyville friends,”
“It doesn’t feel right to us either darling if the mayor wasn’t so desperate for our assistance we’d most certainly stay here in Canterlot, and of course we do understand that your royal duties must come first,” Rarity says to try to cheer up Twilight.
“The summer sun celebration may have brought us together but it’s something much bigger that’ll keep us all connected,” Applejack says then goes over to the Stained Glass of them all defeating Nightmare Moon with the elements of harmony. “Exhibit A: the six of us are united by the elements of Harmony, no amount of royal duties is gonna change that,” She looks to the others. “Right everypony?” the others sans Pinkie nod in agreement, Applejack turns to Pinkie. “Right Pinkie Pie?”
“Creamy, Creamy Frosting *Shudder*,” Pinkie says still drooling about frosting, Flutter shy runs up to clean her up a bit.
“You should take that as a yes,” Fluttershy looks back to the others.

We cut to Xephers who is still high in the sky falling to the ground above Ponyville. He has yet to wake up and no one seems to see him in the sky yet. A train is heard in the distance but not loud enough to wake Xephers up. At the train station, we see Twilight’s friends exit the train and head to the town square. “I really hope Twilight won’t miss us too much,” Rarity said while walking with the others.
“She’ll be fine, she has Spike to help her out and keep her company,” Rainbow adds flying upside down above rarity for a moment. They arrive at the Town square and look around for the mayor.
“Huh?” Xephers finally wakes up but can’t move very well due to the body change. “Where am I?” he turns his head to only see a vast ocean of clouds above him so he tries to turn around to look behind him. “Woah! AHHHHH!” He finally notices he’s falling from Really high up and starts screaming his head off. “Rah Kirran, why didn’t you place me on the ground!?” He shouted, some of the townsfolk heard him and looked up.
“Oh my word what’s that Earth pony doing in the Sky!?” an earth Pony mare screamed getting Rainbow’s attention. “Somepony needs to do something before it’s too late!” she screamed.
“What in the world?” Rainbow said to herself then flew ultra fast to save the Earth Pony. “And-- Got ya!” She effortlessly catches him in the nick of time and takes him to her friends. Xephers opens his eyes as he heard someone say ‘got ya’ and sees Rainbow Dash bringing him to the ground safely.
“*Phew* Thanks for the save,” they reach the ground and rainbow almost immediately starts interrogating him.
“Alright mister, How and why were you, an Earth Pony, 90 feet in the air without any Pegasus or Unicorn anywhere near you huh?” Rainbow gets up into his personal space.
“I don’t know how I got in the sky. Wait, did you just talk?” Xephers tilts his head with a confused look on his face. Rainbow backs away from the stallion with a look of confusion on her face too, then she snaps out of it and gets back in Xephers’ face.
“What do you mean you don’t know and yes I just talked, everypony can, what did you hit your head on a bird or something during your fall?” Rainbow lands in front of him and pokes his chest.
“I mean what I said, I don’t know how I ended up in the sky, also where I’m from horses can’t speak,” Xephers poked her back with a slightly annoyed look on his face. At the word, ‘Horse’ Rainbow got really mad and tackled Xephers to the ground.
“What the heck did you just call me punk!?” She had pure rage in her eyes as she looked and the stallion that called her a horse. “Depending on your answer you might get out of this situation with more than just dirt in your coat!” Xephers looked at Rainbow with horror in his eyes and held up his hands... Hooves in defense... HOOVES!? Xephers stopped looking at Rainbow and looked between his front hooves moving them around like he didn’t believe they were his. Rainbow is getting impatient and yells “Answer me punk!” He looked at Rainbow again with a look of urgency on his face.
“What happened to me?” He said then looked back at his hooves. Rainbow punched the area right next to his head.
“I said answer the question, what did you just call me?” Her eyes full of rage her teeth clenched she was ready to end this stallion.
“I said Horses where I’m from can’t talk, and then you tackled me, but somethings strange about me,” He looks at his chest and notices he can see his nose more than before. “What happened to me?”
“You got knocked out that’s what happened!” Rainbow then decided to knock the Stallion out by hitting him in the face.
“Rainbow! You didn’t have to hurt him that bad!,” Rarity galloped up with the others. “Why hurt him more after he was just falling from that high up?”
“He called me a Whorse, kind of seemed he was off his rocker too, kept saying stuff like ‘what happened to me’ and ‘Whorses don’t talk where I’m from’ serves him right” Rainbow kicked his hoove as she got off his chest. Fluttershy walked up to him and check if he was breathing.
“Good news is he’s still breathing, but we may need to get him to the Ponyville hospital before his broken nose gets infected,” Fluttershy attempted to pick him up but Applejack cantered up to her and slung him over her back.
“I got this sugar cube you all tell the mayor what happened I’ll head to the hospital and get this here varment some help, Celestia knows he’ll need it,” Applejack shakes her head and gallops off in the direction of the Hospital.
