"I am stuffed!" Moondancer said as she and Twilight headed out back into Ponyville.

"I ate too much pie..." Twilight complained.

"And that food was really good." Spike said. "Next up is weather, a pony named Rainbow Dash is supposed to take care of it." He added.

"Really? The weather called for a sunny day so why is it..." Twilight said before being knocked into mud by a cyan pegasus.

"Heh, excuse me..." The pegasus said before proceeding to wash Twilight with Rain and then dry her off with some sort of speed maneuver. It made Twilight's mane get messed up though.

"You have to be Rainbow Dash, right?" Moondancer asked. Rainbow Dash looked at her and back to Twilight.

"...Huh; if it wasn't for the fact that your obviously best friends, I'd mistake you for sisters in a heartbeat. But Yeah, I'm Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash said.

"Never thought I'd see the day when someone actually doesn't assume we're sisters right off the bat." Twilight said.

"Don't get me wrong, you two could totally pull of the sister thing. You seem that alike." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well then, what were you doing if you weren't clearing the sky?" Moondancer asked.

"I was practicing for the wonderbolts. They're going to show up at the Summer Sun Celebration after all." Rainbow Dash said.

"Huh interesting. Say, I wanna see how fast you can clear this sky then. I'll time you." Moondancer said and got her magic to make a stop watch.

"Wow, a timed sky clearing? SIGN ME UP!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Ready; GO!" Moondancer said and started the timer. Rainbow Dash quickly cleared away the clouds in record time: 8.57 seconds.

"Damn that's fast!" Twilight said.

"I know! That's amazing! Your amazing!" Moondancer said. "Forgive us for not introducing ourselves, I'm Moondancer." Moondancer said.

"And I'm Twilight Sparkle. So, you want to get into the Wonderbolts huh?" Twilight asked.

"You know it!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, I think you'll get in no problem. In fact I know you will, just keep at it. In fact, I think the two of us would like to be there for you every step of the way." Moondancer said.

"Really? You'd both do that for me?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"But of course. That is, if you want." Twilight said.

"Are you kidding? That'd be super awesome. You two are defiantly my friends from here on out. I can't wait to hang out more. I'm going to go practice more, later!" Rainbow Dash said and sped off.

"Three friends already, I think we're getting the hand of this." Moondancer said.

"I think so too. Let's go to Town Hall and then ask whoever's there for advice on who can fix my mane." Twilight said.

"I agree one hundred percent." Moondancer said.


The trio made it into Town Hall and noticed a white unicorn decorating the place.

"Wow, this pony has quite the unique charm to her but..." Spike said. "I for some reason feel like she's out of my league." He added.

"She's too old for you for starters." Twilight said. "Good day miss." Twilight said.

"Not now, in the zone!" The white unicorn said before making some finishing touches. "And done. A little glitter goes a long way. Now then how can I--EEK!" The Unicorn said.

"Yeah. I know. Seems the decorations are in order here. So, if you would be so kind as to direct us to somepony who can fix my mane that'd be great thanks." Twilight said.

"Well look no further darling! I; Rarity Belle; will gladly fix your mane without any charge!" Rarity said.

"Really? That's great. Thank you so much Ms. Belle." Moondancer said. This caused Rarity to look between the two.

"...They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but this?" Rarity motioned to the two. "If it wasn't for the fact that your mane was messed up, I could've easily passed you both off as sisters." She said.

"So if my mane was fixed, you'd easily mistake us for sisters; great..." Twilight said. "Your not the first pony to make that assumption." She added.

"Actually, as a designer, even if your mane wasn't messed up, I can tell you two apart enough to know your not real sisters." Rarity said and then lead the trio into her boutique where she proceeded to fix Twilight's mane. "There, that should do it." Rarity said. But Twilight's mane had a bun in it.

"Uh..." Twilight said. "I'd rather not have this bun in my mane, if you don't mind." She said.

"Don't you want to look different?" Rarity said. "I get the whole imitation thing but..." She said.

"Actually that was my idea. Even before I changed my mane to look the way it does, people were STILL confusing us for sisters, so I did this just to spite those people." Moondancer said.

"Oh. I see." Rarity said and made sure to undo Twilight's bun. "My apologies then." Rarity said.

"It's fine Rarity. I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.

"And I'm Moondancer. And I have to say, your dresses here have quite the charm to them. What I wouldn't give to have this quality up in Canterlot." Moondancer said.

"Your from canterlot?!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Yep. And don't start." Moondancer said.

"Don't worry, I won't. It's just wow..." Rarity said. "Oh we are going to be good friends us three. When next we meet, you must tell me all about how Canterlot was while you were there." She said.

"Sounds like a plan. See you then." Twilight said.

"And that makes four. Man this is easier then I thought." Moondancer said. "Everyone here is just so friendly. But now it's getting pretty close to evening. We best hurry and find that fifth friend." She said.

"Good idea. Last is music, and we should be careful not to disturb them too much." Twilight said.


The trio soon came across a yellow peaguses who was making birds sing quite well. Twilight couldn't help but smile.

"Careful..." Twilight said. She then tapped the pegasus gently. Very gently.

"Oh?" The pegasus noticed the trio. "Oh hi there. Wow, is that a baby dragon?" She asked.

"Yes. His name's Spike. I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.

"And I'm Moondancer." Moondancer said.

"Those are nice names. My name's Fluttershy. I'm normally a little shy but you were so nice in approuching me. I've never had anyone approach me so gently before." Fluttershy said.

"Well we didn't want to disturb you with the music which is very nice I might add. You can teach animals how to do things like that?" Twilight asked.

"Oh yes! I can understand all animals quite well." Fluttershy said.

"I wonder just how many animals you have taught things like this. How about the next time we meet you show us your animals?" Moondancer said.

"Oh! That would be great of you to take an interest. I do hope we can be friends." Fluttershy said.

"Are you kidding? We're going to be great friends!" Twilight said with a cheery smile.

"Your so nice. I can't wait." Fluttershy said.

"Hey Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash soon popped out of nowhere. "I need you to; oh..." Rainbow Dash said. "Hi there. I'm just here to grab my friend here. You've met already?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes." Moondancer said.

"Cool. Still, gotta grab her for something. Later." Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy.

"Um bye..." Fluttershy said before being flown off with Rainbow Dash carrying the pegasus.

"...She does realize her friend's a pegasus right?" Spike asked.

"I think Fluttershy may not be that strong of a flier." Twilight said. "Also, that makes five. We have enough. But we might be able to make more after the summer sun celebration." She added.

"I agree. We could ask Celestia to stay around for a few days after." Moondancer said. The trio headed for the library.

But when they entered the lights were off, but when they came back on...

"SURPRISE!" A whole bunch of ponies said at once.
