Chapter 2 - "So, where are we going next?"
Strolling through a rather quiet street, the two rich fillies were guiding her friend to their next destination. Suddenly, Diamond Tiara stopped on her tracks, earning a curious look from both her companions.
"Watch this, girls." the purple-maned pony whispered, pulling out a cookie can from her saddlebag.
She gestured her friends to hide behind a nearby bench, which both swiftly did as she trotted her way towards a lone mare looking above, seemingly dazed by the night sky, as she stood near a little flower bed.
The mare was an earth pony, with a magenta mane and tail, both slightly scruffy-looking, and her coat was a bright shade of fuchsia, displaying a cutie mark consisting of one bunch of grapes and a strawberry. Her magenta gaze was still fixated on the stars. She didn't notice Tiara until she spoke up, right next to her.
"Excuse me, miss." the pink-coated filly uttered, looking up at the mare, making her cutest face, holding the can in one hoof. "Would you like a cookie?"
The magenta-maned mare stared at the filly's big, blue eyes for a second, then looked at the cookie can. "Sure, I'll take one! Such a nice little filly..." she replied, giving the cute little pony a warm smile before taking the can. As she opened it...
...a plastic snake sprung out of it, making the mare jump and fall on her hindquarters from the shock.
The fuchsia-coated pony got up, hearing the filly's laughs as she ran away. As she eyed the little prankster, she angrily shook her hoof at her. "Why, you little...!" the mare shouted, glaring at the fleeing pony.
All she elicited from the young rascal was her to stop for a little and look her way before blowing a raspberry and shaking her flanks a little before resuming her sprint. Her two friends joined her as she passed towards their little hiding spot, both in running and laughing.
After passing quite a few streets and making sure nopony was following them, the filly trio stopped to catch their breaths. Once they recovered, they eyed eachother and bursted out laughing, commenting the mare's reaction between their chortles.
"That face gets them every time, Di!" Silver Spoon told her best friend, giving her a playful poke on her chest. "How can you even stay like that, anyways?"
"A lot of practice!" the blue-eyed filly replied, with a smug expression. "Of course, being this adorable helps too."
"I would have never expected ya would also be into pranks, Tiara." Babs Seed chipped in, still giggling. "Ya really are the best, gal!"
"Now, now, Babs... was there ever any doubt?" Diamond swaggered a little before turning to her red-maned friend and whispering a "thank you, though" to her.
After a little while, the wealthy pair of fillies resumed their little marching to the next destination, which the third pony swiftly followed. Walking through a few more peaceful, moonlit streets, the trio arrived to their next stop: the Ponyville Spa, the lights of which were still on, despite the time.
As soon as the fillies entered the spa, they were greeted by Lotus, who was behind the counter.
"Welcome, miss Tiara and miss Silver! Are you here for the weekly treatment?" the blue-coated mare asked, smiling towards the trio. "I see you've brought somepony new with you!"
"Yep, Lotus, we're here for the usual!" the tiara-wearing filly answered, placing a hoof over the shoulder of her short-maned friend. "And this girl is Babs Seed, we've invited her to join us!"
Lotus walked away from the counter and towards the little group.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, miss Babs! My name's Lotus Blossom." the mare introduced herself. Shortly after, her sibling walked in. "And that's my sister, Aloe!"
The pink-coated mare smiled at the trio and bowed to them, chirping a "Welcome!" before standing next to her sister.
"Nice to meet ya too, Lotus and Aloe!" Babs smiled at the twin mares.
They bowed again, before Lotus spoke up.
"Oh, by the way, misses, your hot tub is ready." the pink mare remarked. "You can leave your saddlebags and belongings here."
Diamond took her tiara off and carefully placed it in her bag, as Spoon did the same with her necklace and glasses, placing her cyan spectacles in their case. She then untied her mane, placing her hair tie inside the bag as well. The trio gently placed their bags on the floor as they cantered towards the hot tub room.
Aloe and Lotus picked up the three saddlebags very delicately and stored them in a locked compartment behind their counter, before getting things ready for the next parts of the fillies' weekly treatment.
Meanwhile, the trio already were sitting in the tub and sighing contently, enjoying the hot water and the little jets' streams on their backs. The brown-coated filly seemed the most delighted of them, as she already sank quite a bit into the tub, with her eyes half-closed.
Babs eyed her friends, both grinning at her and about to say something, but she spoke first.
"Let me guess, gals... yer about to tell me that this just the beginning, and it's going to get even better, right?" the green-eyed pony tried to figure out what her companions had in mind, smirking a little.
Silver glanced at her best friend and looked back at Babs.
"Oooh, you're right!" the grey filly giggled. "Just you wait, Babsy!"
The short-maned pony stared at Silver Spoon after the use of that nickname, moving a little closer to her.
"Ya can bet your flank I'm ready for anything, Spoony..." she smirked, keeping her eyes on the purple-eyed friend as the other did the same, both keeping that stare for longer than a good minute.
Meanwhile, Tiara was doing her best not to laugh herself silly right there, as her friends' stares gradually turned goofier. Eventually, all three ended up not being able to hold on any longer and began chortling about that little happening. As their laughter eventually died down, Lotus showed up, giggling a little.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but everything's set for the massages." the pink-maned mare informed, leaving three small bathrobes near the tub. "You can come whenever you're ready."
After the masseuse left, the trio looked at eachother and nodded, carefully climbing out of the tub. They put the bathrobes on and Babs followed her friends to the next room.
They arrived to a room which smelt faintly of sandalwood and had two massage tables with a clean white towel ready on each. Near them lied a row of very comfortable-looking chairs, each pair of chair had a little side table between them, there was also a full magazine rack next to the furthermost chair, showcasing from the latest fashion and coiffure journals to a few issues of a somewhat known magazine about Equestria's celebrities.
The spa sisters were already waiting for the fillies, standing next to the two towel-covered tables.
"We're very sorry for the inconvenience, but one of you will have to wait a little." Aloe apologized, bowing down a little as Lotus joined her. "Our sister Vera is out of town until next month, so it's only the two of us here..."
"Don't worry about that, it's fine!" the grey-maned filly giggled and then looked at her friends. "You two can go first, I'll be reading a little."
As soon as Silver Spoon stopped talking, Aloe ran to another room, quickly returning with the case containing the filly's glasses.
"Here you go, miss Silver." the pink-coated masseuse nodded, hoofing the little case to its owner, who let out a cheery "thank you!" in response.
Opening the case and putting her glasses back on, the purple-eyed filly placed the case on one of the side tables and trotted her way to the rack. Picking up a fashion magazine which cover featured a tall, white-coated unicorn with a light pink mane wearing a deep blue dress, she sat down and began her reading.
Meanwhile, Tiara and Babs climbed on the massage tables and laid belly down, stretching their legs slightly. As they were getting comfortable, Aloe brought a small cart with various massage oil bottles and extra towels on it, stopping it between both tables.
As Lotus applied some oil to her hooves and began running them on the purple-maned filly's back, Aloe stepped closer to the other young pony and noticed her moving a little.
"You should try to get as comfortable as possible and relax your muscles, miss Babs." the blue-maned mare told her customer in her best attempt to sound soothing, idly placing a hoof on her back and stroking it a little.
After some small squirming the masseuse found adorable, the brown-coated filly finally laid still and lowered her head, resting her entire body on the table.
The pink-coated mare mimicked her sister and after applying some oil on her own hooves and began her massage. The Manehattan filly left out a sigh of relief as she felt the spa mare's hooves rubbing from her back to her shoulders, easing the little tensions in her muscles, along with a little knot just below her shoulder.
Next to her, Diamond Tiara had a most blissful expression on her face while the blue-coated pony went on with her own massage, knowing which spots were usually the most tense on the filly's body due to her frequent visits and giving special attention to them.
Eyeing the par with lidded eyes, she heard Aloe's voice, which still had a soft tone to her.
"By the way, miss Babs, where are you from?" the mare asked, continuing the massage. "I don't quite remember seeing you in Ponyville."
"Oh, I'm from Manehattan." the short-maned youngster replied. "Staying this week with my cousins at Sweet Apple Acres and stuff."
"So, from the big city, that's very nice..." Aloe observed. "I really like your style, as well. Captivating, and it looks very comfortable at the same time."
"Thanks! It's very comfy too, yeah." Babs chuckled, lowering her head a little as she felt the masseuse's hooves moving to her upper back again.
A while later, and after more small talk from both pairs, the sisters took a towel each and wiped the oil off their hooves and trotted up to the two younger ponies who were lying down, both looking incredibly relieved.
"We hope you enjoyed the service!" the two mares spoke at the same time, warm smiles in their faces.
Both fillies carefully climbed down the tables as Aloe called Silver Spoon, who put the magazine she was reading next to her glasses' case and cantered her way to the massage table, where the blue-maned sister was waiting for her.
While the glasses-wearing filly's massage was taking place, the two friends, who were sitting at the small waiting area at that moment, noticed Lotus not stopping during the entire time. She placed the unused table's towel and the one she utilized in a little basket, which she took to an adjacent room, quickly pacing afterwards to pick up the glasses' casing to put it back on the filly's safely kept bag.
By the time the third massage of the night was ending, the blue-coated pony was carrying a mane brush and a purple cushion with her. All three fillies stared curiously at her, as she carefully set the cushion on the floor and left the brush on the cart.
The grey filly got off the table and looked at Lotus, who was standing next to the cushion.
"Please accept a mane brushing, free of charge, of course." the mare offered. "It's the least we could do after having you wait for your weekly treatment, miss Silver."
Silver Spoon tilted her head for a second before chirping a happy little "oh, okay!". As soon as she sat down, Lotus placed herself behind the filly and began running the brush through her mane, straightening it a little and ridding it from a small tangle it had.
The sky-blue massagist positioned herself in front of the younger pony, who closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly to have her bangs brushed, as well.
Giving the last strokes to the filly's mane, Lotus put the brush aside and smiled warmly at her little client.
"You can get up now, miss Silver." she stated.
The grey pony promptly stood up and looked at her friends, who seemed to be a little dazed from the style change, both due to the fact that they rarely got to see their companion with her mane down and found that new style adorable on her.
Silver Spoon tilted her head. "What's wrong, girls?" she asked, staring back at the two fillies.
"Ya look great, Spoony." Babs spoke up. "Why don't you go out like that more ofte--"
"W-well, now you're almost as cute as me." Diamond Tiara cut in, just about to pout. "Almost!"
The snooty filly's outburst earned some snickers from her friends, and even the spa sisters were trying to supress some giggles of their own.
Silver walked up to her best friend and nuzzled her. "Don't worry, Di, you'll always be the prettiest pony around!" she sing-sung, waving her tail.
Tiara let out a small "hmph" and looked away, but shortly after she smiled at her bestie and returned the nuzzle as both began tittering a little.
Shortly after, the filly trio and Lotus walked back to the counter, from where the mare took the youngsters' bags and returned them to their owners. After both rich ponies put their accessories back on, the pink-coated filly pulled out her bit purse from the bag and placed some coins on the counter.
The masseuse counted the money and nodded at the fillies, giving them a warm smile and a "thank you!" before digging a little behind the counter.
She then picked up a little box decorated with flower motifs and produced three mini bottles, which she gave to the trio.
"We got a few samples of this new lavender shampoo, hope you enjoy them as well!" the sky-blue mare chirped as the younger ponies placed the fun-sized bottles in her bags and thanked her.
After making sure nobody forgot anything, the three friends walked out of the spa after saying their goodbyes.
"See you next week!" Lotus sing-songed as her customers left the building.
A few minutes of silence later, Aloe returned to the entrance and walked towards her sister, who was getting ready to close for the night while humming happily.
"These fillies may be troublesome at times... but they sure are adorable. Right, sister?" the pink sibling asked in a cheery tone.
"You know that just as well as I do, Aloe." Lotus responded, playfully nudging her sister.
Author's Note
Got to admit that this chapter may feel dragged out (even if a lot of ideas I had for it were discarded), and I apologize for that.
Thought of re-writing this one all over again at one point before publishing but I don't really feel like tampering with it anymore.
Last chapter is up next!
Chapter 3 - One last stop... or two
Back outside, the rich pair led the way down a street also used by a number of tired working ponies and a few late night strollers enjoying the cool breeze and the star-filled sky.
On their way to the next stop, they arrived to a brightly-lit square with various street performers on their job, they noticed a pair of jugglers surrounded by a multitude of foals and their parents and a living pony statue, painted in shiny crystal blue, who had just as much attention around him.
The trio decided to stop and watch these artists when a young pegasus mare walked over to them, carrying a complex-looking camera with a little slot at the bottom and a tripod. Her mane and tail were long, slightly wavy and a bright shade of cyan, looked really well-kept; her white coat also seemed to glisten under the moonlight. On her flank was a cutie mark that looked like a camera flash.
"Greetings, young ones! Hope you're enjoying tonight's show!" the energetic-looking pegasus cheered. "Want to have your picture taken under this beautiful night, only two bits a copy?"
The fillies looked at eachother and nodded.
"We'll take three!" Tiara declared with a wide smile as both her friends agreed.
As they got into position, with Babs between Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the photographer set everything up for the picture and pressed a couple of switches on her camera.
"Alrighty, get ready!" the photographist called with enthusiasm.
Getting closer to eachother, the trio gave the camera the best of their smiles... until the very last moment, when both ponies between Babs made silly faces; Tiara crossing her eyes with a silly grin, and Spoon with her most serious expression while sticking out her tongue nonchalantly.
The pair began snickering as the pictures came out. The short-maned filly looked at them and tilted her head, which only made them grin at her.
Hovering in front of the camera, the pegasus peeked at the photos and giggled while she gave them to the little trio.
Curious, Babs looked at the snapshot and realized her friends' little joke. She then leered at them for a few seconds before breaking into laughter, which was shortly joined by the pranksters' own chortling.
As the laughter died down, each filly reached for their own bit purse and paid the mare, who tossed the coins into a bag she was carrying under her right wing.
"Thank you... and see ya around!" The white-coated pegasus waved the trio goodbye and resumed her happy trotting, looking for more customers.
After putting the pictures in their saddlebags, the fillies walked out of the square and down a brightly-lit avenue towards the last stop of the night: a clothing store which windows showcased a large variety of filly-sized dresses and a few costumes.
As soon as the trio stepped into the store, they were greeted by a light green-coated earth pony mare with a chocolate brown mane which looked remarkably poofy. Her mint-colored dress conceived part of her tail and her cutie mark.
"Welcome!" the mare chirped, trotting towards her customers. "Glad to see you this week as well, misses!"
"Hello!" all three fillies greeted in unison, almost in a sing-song tone.
"Come here if you need anything, as usual..." the mint-coated pony reminded. "That goes for the cute filly with the red mane, too!"
Babs giggled at the remark as she followed her friends towards a section full with skirts and dresses of all colors and a wide variety of adorable-looking shirts, all neatly set along rows of hangers, with a few more mannequins displaying select outfits. A sign on an empty wall showed the way to the fitting rooms through a little corridor.
The young ponies exchanged looks and gleefully smiled at each other before checking out all the clothes. Picking a few garments, each filly made their way to the fitting rooms.
Some try-ons later, the Manehattan filly walked out of the fitting room, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a red skirt with a plaid pattern. She was soon joined by Diamond Tiara, showing off a bright yellow summer jacket with a jet black top underneath and a light grey skirt.
Both fillies took a gander at eachother's attire, and Tiara gave her friend a nod of approval.
"Hey, Babs, you do have some good taste..." she observed before striking a pose, still flaunting her outfit. "...but you gotta admit I'm looking way better, here!"
The red-maned pony moved closer to her companion and stared at her. "Hm... I'll admit yer right this time." she replied before booping the snooty filly's nose. "Really likin' that jacket, looks great on ya!"
As the pair were talking about the other garments they tried on but discarded, Silver Spoon left her fitting room, she was in a sleeveless dress of a fresh cyan which matched her glasses, with a wide black band around the middle.
"Girls, look!" the grey filly called. "This dress looks lovely, doesn't it?"
Her friends stared at her in wonder for almost a full minute, then turned to look at each other as Silver just tilted her head.
"Looks like Spoony here is tryin' to out-cute ya, Di... and succeeding." Babs sneered, earning the pink-coated filly's second pout of the night, shorter than the previous one.
"Yep. You know what?" Diamond Tiara sighed in defeat. "That looks beautiful on you, Silver. I mean it!"
"I'm with her, I'd so buy it if I were ya." the short-maned youngster remarked.
"Thank you, girls! Both of you look super cute too!" Silver Spoon squealed in delight, trotting in place. "I'm keeping this one for sure, how about you?"
Tiara and Babs nodded, then all three got back to their fitting rooms. Shortly after, they returned to the corridor and made their way towards the counter, carrying the clothing they chose.
The cashier was waiting behind it, she smiled at her little customers as they carefully placed every garment on the counter before the older pony proceeded to take a short look at them and check all the price tags.
"Will that be all, misses?" the mare asked as she began to fold and put each filly's garments into three cute little bags, all of them a bright purple with handles of a slightly darker shade.
The trio nodded and made their purchase. After waving the cashier goodbye while holding the bag handles with their teeth, they left the store.
As all three youngsters were walking their way towards Sweet Apple Acres, Diamond Tiara stopped suddenly and dropped the bag, giving the Manehattan pony a wide smile as an idea crossed her mind.
"Hey, the night doesn't really have to end here!" she exclaimed. "Want to join us at my place for a slumber party, Babs?"
Silver Spoon looked at the short-maned pony with her best puppy eyes, who quickly placed her bag on the ground and grinned back at her friend.
"Of course I do, gals!" she gleefully answered. "C'mon, let's go!"
With that, Tiara and Babs picked up her bags as the three of them began to skip their way towards the richer filly's place, more than ready for the most enjoyable of sleepovers.
Author's Note
You have reached the end of the story, thank you for reading!
What can I say about this fic... it took me a couple of weeks, there have been a few little rewrites at certain parts and, most importantly, I had a lot of fun writing about three of my favorite fillies fooling around.
Here's hoping it brought some joy to you, as well!
Chapter 1 - The night begins
The last sunrays of a warm Friday were shining upon Ponyville, as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stand in front of their favorite milkshake bar, both with their saddlebags on. The pink filly eyed her friend impatiently, tapping her hoof on the ground.
"Silver... you did tell Babs to be here at eight o'clock, right?" Tiara queried, narrowing her eyes. "Because she's already twenty minutes late."
"Of course I did!" Silver Spoon replied, looking around the streets. "Don't you already know... hey, isn't that her?"
She pointed at a moderatedly busy street, through which was galloping their friend, her own saddlebags bouncing as she kept running. Both fillies waved at her before she finally arrived.
"I... I'm here..." Babs Seed huffed, a few droplets of sweat going down her forehead. "Sorry, gals. My cousins insisted that I stayed for 'a little' after dinner and it took forever to convince them..." Finally catching her breath, she gave a weak smile to both fillies.
Babs noticed her grey-coated friend smirking for a second, with a clear 'I knew it' expression on her face before nodding.
"...hmph, fine." Diamond Tiara pouted. "I'll forgive you this time." She turned towards the door and pushed it open, motioning to her friends to follow her.
Once they entered the bar, which was slightly busy with other filles and colts drinking their milkshakes and chatting happily, the short-maned filly and her friends trotted towards one of the empty tables. Both Diamond and Babs seated at the table after leaving their saddlebags on the floor, next to them.
"I'll go order our shakes, girls." Silver stated. "Di, you want strawberry, right?"
The tiara-wearing pony nodded in response.
"How about you, Babs?" she added.
"Chocolate, please!" the red-maned filly answered with a smile on her face.
The grey pony nodded and made her way to the counter. After a very short while, the "Coming right up!" of the mare managing the bar was heard, and Silver sat back down at the table, promptly placing her own bag down. She gave Babs Seed a brief look, then her gaze moved to her best friend.
"I'm actually pretty glad that you agreed to hang out with us..." Tiara spoke up. "I missed you, and I'm sure this filly right here did, too!" She playfully nudged her silver-maned friend, who let out a lively "Yep!" in response.
"You know I would never want to miss any plan with you two, gals!" Babs said, with a huge smile on her face. "I bet this Friday night is going to be a blast!"
At that moment, an unicorn mare wearing an apron walked up to the trio, levitating a tray with three full milkshake glasses on it. Her coat was cream-colored and her ocean blue mane was tied in a bun. Her long-ish tail swung side to side with each step.
"Here you go, the best for my favorite customers!" the apron-wearing mare spoke in a sing-song tone, placing the three glasses on the table. "And who's your little friend, here? I like her style."
"Hey, thanks." the brown-coated filly boasted a little, flicking her bangs. "My name's Babs Seed."
"She's from Manehattan, but since she's staying a week with some relatives here, we thought it'd be nice if she joined us." Diamond broke in, with a proud look.
"Manehattan, huh? That's very nice!" the mare replied, smiling warmly at the trio. As she was about to say something else, she noticed another customer, an orange-maned colt, walking towards the counter.
"We'll have to sit down and chat one day, little ones, but this mare's gotta go back to work!" With those words, the unicorn left the three fillies alone, taking the empty tray with her.
Each pony grabbed her own milkshake and began sipping it, savoring the sweet and refreshing beverage. After a few silent seconds, Silver spoke up, putting down her vanilla shake.
"So, did you see this new necklace Tootsie got?" the glasses-wearing filly giggled as she talked. "Like, it's just so lame! I get that some ponies can't have jewelry this exquisite, but still, you've gotta have some tastes, girl!" She showed off her shiny pearl necklace, laughing.
Both friends joined her chortling, as the pink filly quietly cleared her throat and focused her blue-eyed gaze on Babs.
"Anyways, how's the stay at your cousins' going?" Tiara asked, sipping on her straw before continuing.
The brown-coated pony flicked her mane once again. "It's definitely not Manehattan, but I love these folks. And little Apple Bloom is as lively as ever, sure missed her too." she stated.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon chuckled at that last remark, as the tiara-wearing filly looked at her big city friend with a little grin on her face.
"And you're about to experience all sorts of fun, my friend!" she claimed, finishing what little remained of her milkshake.
As the two other fillies finished her drinks as well, they all got up and picked up their saddlebags. Babs began to pull her bit purse out of it, but Tiara placed a hoof on her bag and shook her head.
"Hey, it's all my treat, don't you worry." she smiled at her red-maned friend before trotting over to the counter.
As Tiara came back after paying and a little chitchat with the friendly mare behind the counter, the trio noticed a claw machine, full of bright and tempting little prizes.
"I've won a lot of stuff from those in the city, how about I get you a few presents, gals?" the green-eyed filly piped up, almost hopping her way to the machine with her friends following her steps.
As the Manehattan filly inserted a coin in the machine's lot and began to use the little joystick on it to maneuver the claw inside, the purple-maned filly's expression slowly turned into an expectant sneer as her glasses-wearing companion could not keep her eyes away from the machine, beholding the claw's movements, which looked quite precise as it lowered on an adorable Mare-Do-Well stuffed toy, grasping it and dropping down the prize chute.
"Not bad for a first go, huh?" Babs bragged, lowering her head to hold the prize between her teeth. Trying her best to articulate a "who wants it?" she saw Silver's beaming smile and Tiara's precious smirk turned into a slight frown.
"I-I admit it wasn't all that bad, Babs Seed," the blue-eyed filly stuttered, still not believing her friend would win a prize on her first try. "Spoony here sure looks like she wants that... nerdy plushie." she added as she looked away.
The brown-coated filly happily passed the toy to Silver Spoon, who squealed in an unbelievably cute way. "C'mon, Di, I'll get ya something too!" she continued, smiling at her tiara-wearing friend.
"Fine, let's see..." Diamond eyed all the prizes inside the brightly-colored machine, before focusing her sight on a shiny little bracelet with a tag around it, the accessory looked pretty cheap but dazzled the little filly nonetheless. "I want that bracelet, get it."
"Well, then!" Babs turned back to the claw game, slid another coin inside the slot and skillfully hovered the claw over the bracelet. Pressing the machine's button, the claw lowered towards it target, gripping on the accessory's tag, making it rise and travel just enough to drop down the chute. Promptly fetching the shiny trinket, the city filly offered it to Tiara...
...who was apparently lost in the armband's gleam, but shortly recomposed herself and accepted it with a wide smile on her face, unaware of Spoon's snickering.
Both fillies tightly hugged Babs shortly after, squeaking out a "Thank you!" before the embrace was quickly returned by the short-maned filly.
Placing their gifts in their saddlebags, both richer ponies began to trot their way out of the bar, her friend joining them. As they left, the trio noticed that it was already dark outside and the moon was high on the sky.
"That was fun, gals!" Babs exclaimed, stretching a little. "So, where are we going next?"
"You'll see when we get there, girl!" Tiara answered, playfully ruffling her friend's mane. "For now, follow us!"
With those words, the three fillies headed towards one of the moonlit streets of Ponyville...
