Luna trotted up the stairs of the Golden Oak Library.

"Well I'll be sis, Princess Twilight really does have you living out of the library." Luna said to her sister who was reading a letter from Princess Twilight; though the unicorn sibling soon put the letter away.

"It's great. Listen, think you can promise not to freak out?" Celestia asked.

"What? What's up sis?" Luna asked.

"What's up is that The Warrior Princess is choosing to visit Ponyville very shortly." Celestia said.

"C'mon sis, enough with that urban legend. The Warrior Princess is a myth and pure fantasy. I deal in cold, hard facts." Luna asked. Suddenly she felt somepony tapping her shoulder.

"Maybe you'd like to believe with your eyes over your ears." A female voice said. Turning around, Luna's jaw dropped to the ground as she looked at the alicorn before her.

"Princess Cozy Glow, it's nice to see you again." Celestia said.

"It's nice to see you too, Celestia. And please, just call me Cozy Glow. We're besties after all." Princess Cozy Glow said.

"You...your..." Luna said. "Your The Warrior Princess...your actually real..." She added poking Princess Cozy Glow.

"Luna, please don't do that. She's a princess." Celestia said but Princess Cozy Glow chuckled.

"I see there are still a few ponies who see me as some urban legend; a myth if you will. Ah this takes me back to the times when no one knew what I looked like." Princess Cozy Glow said. "It's been so long since I've last a pony poke me to make sure I'm real." She added.

"You...had that happen often?" Celestia asked.

"Yes I did. It's been so long I've forgotten what it felt like. Which made me get worried." Princess Cozy Glow said. "...Okay you can quit now." She added to Luna.

"Oh right." Luna said and stopped. "Sorry." She added.

"It's alright." Princess Cozy Glow said. "So, where's the other elements?" She asked.

Each one of the friends of the sisters had a different reaction. Spitfire was pratically saluting Princess Cozy Glow once she saw her; Chiffon Swirls was eager to bake cupcakes for the royal; Cookie Crumbles wanted to make a dress for the alicorn (which Cozy Glow insisted for there to be a next time); but of the others, the one with Buttercup was much different.

"Wow...you must be the famous Warrior Princess; Princess Cozy Glow!" Buttercup said.

"What's going on out here?" Apple Smith asked. Then she spotted Princess Cozy Glow. "...Well I'll be a donkey's uncle; the warrior princess is real!" Apple Smith said.

"Another one? We just went through this as soon as Princess Cozy Glow got here." Celestia said.

"Really missed this whole thing of being regarded as an urban legend and thus a myth. Been so long I've forgotten what that was like." Princess Cozy Glow said.

"For being the warrior princess, you seem pretty relaxed." Bright Mac noted.

"I'm on break from the front lines. Thought I'd come down and meet with the elements of Harmony you know." Princess Cozy Glow said, before taking out a rook chess piece.

"...!" Apple Smith quickly forced Cozy Glow to repocket that. "Please don't take one of those out your highness...other wise she'll take it..." Apple Smith added.

"Whose this she? First I heard of this." Buttercup said.

"For good reason as she's my little sister. My very spoiled little sister." Bright Mac said.

"Somepony mention me?" A new female voice called out. Everyone turned towards two female earth pony fillies.

"Apple Tiara..." Bright Mac noted.

"...And Silver Belle too..." Apple Smith added.

"Oh, it's the Warrior Princess. Good day to you your highness." Apple Tiara said to Princess Cozy glow.

"Um...hi I guess?" Princess Cozy Glow said.

"Sis, why don't you and your friend go somewhere else today?" Bright Mac asked.

"We were just about to do so anyways. Come Silver Bell." Apple Tiara said.

"Sure thing. But did you get a glimpse of that rook piece?" Silver Belle asked.

"Yes but let's let the Princess keep this one." Apple Tiara said.

"...What was that about?" Princess Cozy Glow asked.

"My sister and that Silver Belle girl...spoiled kids they both are." Bright Mac said. "I just hope neither one ends up becoming a bully when the school year starts." He added.

"Right. That starts in a few weeks if I remember correctly." Celestia said.

"That reminds me, we should introduce you to Miss Cherilee." Luna said.

"Oh...didn't you hear? Miss Cherilee is retiring after this year. No idea who the new teacher's going to be." Spitfire said.

"Oof...but Miss Cherilee is so good..." Luna said.

"I just hope our friendship sticks together." Celestia said.

"Are you kidding? We'll find a way to communicate if any of us are ever far apart." Buttercup said. "Ah know we will." She added.

"She's right. You girls are special." Bright Mac said. All the girls smiled.

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

Today at Sweet Apple Acres, my friend Buttercup was insistent that we'd never lose our friendship, no matter what may happen.

I can't help but feel like she's right somehow. I have no idea what'll happen in the future, but I'm sure our friendship will never fade.

Your faithful Student, Celestia
