"This will be my first time hosting a party for the two princess lovers on much better terms." Chiffon Swirls said.

"Not to mention the entire High Council and other related members such as the rest of the Original Five." Spitfire said.

"Plus my friend from Princess Twilight's school who is escorting Fluttershy ahead of everypony else." Celestia said. The doorbell rang and Luna let in Lucky Star and Fluttershy.

"Sorry I can't stay long you guys. I'd love to get to know you all but...I have a tutor session with a struggling student for Princess Twilight's School." Lucky Star said.

"Wait your a tutor now?" Celestia asked.

"Yep. It just felt right." Lucky Star answered.

"Go for it. And make a lot of kids happy." Celestia said.

"I will." Lucky Star said and left.

"She's a good egg." Moondancer said as she came in shortly after Lucky Star left. "Heh heh...she'll be a good tutor, I can tell." She added.

"I have the same faith." Celestia said. Suddenly Cozy Glow showed up.

"Wait, I thought only the lovers, the high council, and the original five were coming?" Chiffon Swirls asked.

"Just grabbing some grub to go for a friend." Cozy Glow said before taking a few things and teleporting away.

"We got plenty of food for the event, don't worry." Buttercup said, putting out a few more pies.

"That certainly looks like a lot." Applejack said as she and Pinkie Pie came in alongside Starlight as well.

"Starlight Glimmer..." Mr. Cake said, looking dead straight at the unicorn.

"Oh...um...fancy meeting you here, Mr. Cake." Starlight said, nervous suddenly.

"You know her?" Celestia asked.

"All too well. How'd she get on the high council? I have half a mind to tell whatever district you represent all about what you tried to do with Ponyville." Mr. Cake said.

"Mr. Cake, I know you have some rough history with Starlight, but everypony can assure you that past is her past with zero reason for it to come back." Pinkie Pie said.

"...I don't trust her. High council or not. I think I'll give that district's mayor a call." Mr. Cake said but when he turned around, there was Princess Twilight. "Y-your highness..." Mr. Cake gulped.

"...She already knows." Princess Twilight said. "After all, she was instrumental in Starlight's reformation. Mayor Cadence knows all too well about Starlight's past. In fact, I daresay without her, Starlight wouldn't even be on the high council." She added.

"Mi Amore Cadenza?!" Moondancer asked from nearby; now paying attention to the unfolding scene. "Oh hi your highness. I thought you'd be coming later." She added.

"Cadence is a good friend of mine. And the best foal sitter ever." Princess Twilight said.

"Gee...you sure get around Princess Twilgiht." Spitfire said.

"Now, I better go make sure my wife isn't being forced into a dress while I'm away from Rarity." Princess Twilight said before teleporting away.

"And she's gone." A pegasus stallion said.

"Mr. Accord, it's nice to meet you. I hear you hail from far off lands." Apple Smith said.

"Please don't bother. I'm afraid I have eyes for a different mare." Accord said as Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo came in.

"Scootaloo, what are you doing here?" Spitfire asked.

"Just wanted to make sure you had enough food for two extras." Scootaloo said as Soarin came in too. "...Because my sis decided to bring both me and a current boyfriend." Scootaloo added.

"Remember, no autographs right now." A mare said as she walked in. "Well, without good reason of course." She added.

"Didn't think you'd make it, Lightning Dust." Rainbow Dash said.

"Gotta make sure no one asks for autographs. Ponies first, celebrities later after all." Lightning Dust said.

"I don't think you'd have to worry about that for anyone besides Spitfire, and she did just save Rainbow Dash from falling to her death during the young fliers competition after all." Celestia said.

"I'm well aware of that fact." Lightning Dust said.

"I'm happy enough that Captain Rainbow Dash is even here. Being able to eat with her at this party would be enough for me." Spitfire said.

"Well we're here as ponies and not as Wonderbolts so, why not?" Soarin asked.

"Yeah, if you want to sit with us, your more than welcome to." Rainbow Dash said.

"It'll be an honor!" Spitfire said.

Heh...yeah she wants to be a Wonderbolt. I just hope Rainbow Dash is right about getting her in the academy for next year's group. I want it to be the right call. Lightning Dust thought to herself.

"Oh it'll be our honor to--" Chiffon swirls started to say before Spitfire covered her mouth.

"To enjoy some time with the high council, the original five, and the two princesses that could make it." Spitfire concluded for her friend. "And if the Wonderbolts want to party like normal ponies, all the better." She added.

"You have my attention." Lightning Dust said and started to make sure things were going smoothly.

"Spitfire, why did you..." Chiffon Swirls said.

"Surprise, remember?" Spitfire whispered to her friend.

"Oh right. I forgot about that." Chiffon Swirls said. Finally the two princesses and Rarity showed up.

"Right, now it's time to party." Luna said.


The party lasted for quite some time but there was a surprise for the party guests coming up.

"Seeing as you have all taken time out of your busy days to attend this party, let us Elements of Harmony now treat you to an after-party show." Celestia said. "Please follow me outside." She added.

"What now? I didn't see any paper work about an after party show?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"There wasn't any. This is news to me. I don't think the Wonderbolts are participating in this show." Lightning Dust said.

"Now that you mention it, I did notice the elements leaving for brief moments of time throughout the party." Soarin said.

"Wait...are they..." Scootaloo said as they were now all outside with Celestia acting as host.

"And now without further delay, the Elements of Harmony would like to treat the princesses, the high court, the attending Wonderbolts, and the original five with a show of our own." Celestia said.

The Elements of Harmony then proceeded to start with Buttercup leading the charge with some rope tricks, Luna having a few animals do a pyramid, Cookie Crumbles showing off a few of her designs with the help of some ponyville residents, Celestia performing a few magic miracles, and ending off with Spitfire doing some arial maneuvers of her own. Throughout the show, Chiffon Swirls kept the guests well hydrated, adding to the show in her own way. After the show was fully over, Lightning Dust did approach Spitfire before the Wonderbolts went off.

"Rainbow Dash wasn't kidding about you. You keep that sort of skill up, I can defiantly see you joining the ranks of the full-fledged Wonderbolts." Lightning Dust said.

"Thanks." Spitfire said.

"Don't get lax now between now and the academy you got that? Only the best of the best from the academy get to make it into the Wonderbolts." Lightning Dust said. "And trust me, competition is going to be harsh." She added.

"You won't have to worry about me stopping my own personal training." Spitfire said. Celestia looked over with a smile. She was glad Spitfire got to give out her surprise.

"So, I'm guessing this was the surprise Friendship Lesson you told me about." Princess Twilight said.

"Yep. Spitfire had a feeling a couple of the Wonderbolts would show up." Celestia said. "That's why me and the others wanted to help Spitfire let the Wonderbolts be on the receiving end of a show for a change." She added. "That's why the friendship lesson here was that friends help friends." The white unicorn said.

"Well said Celestia; well said." Princess Twilight said, giving her student a wing hug alongside her lover. Princess Sunset smiled as she really liked this filly; Celestia reminded Sunset of Twilight.
