Twilight and her friends smiled as Ray and Fluttershy came into the room. "How are you feeling?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy carefully sat on her throne.

"Better." Ray replied, with a soft smile.

"Great. Because I think we came up with some ideas on how to get Rainbow away from the fake." Rarity cheared.

"That's nice." Fluttershy added.

"What is your plan?" Ray asked.

"A music contest!" Twilight proclaimed.

"And to make it even COOLER. The contestants will be in disguises, so nopony will know who the real you is." Pinkie added as she fell into her chair.

After a few moments of everypony looking from her to wherever she came from. "Anyway." Twilight sighed as the group turned back to the topic at hoof. "From what the princesses told me. You wore several different masks. So the only ponies that will know it's you, are the ponies that were with you."

Ray thought for a moment and nodded. "Ok… on one condition."

"Yes?" The girls asked in unison.

"She sings with me." Ray replied, pointing at Fluttershy.

As soon as she noticed he was pointing at her, Fluttershy gasped and ducked behind her chair. "Oh my… I don't know if I would be a good pick…"

"Don't tell me you have stage fright again, darling." Rarity sighed.

"No… I just…"

"It's fine Fluttershy." Ray comforted. "We can give you a disguise. That way nopony will know it's you."

Fluttershy thought for a moment before smiling at him. "I guess it might work."

"Then if you two are going to be a team. Then you two probably should look like you're a couple." Rarity suggested.

"Why?" Ray, Fluttershy and Twilight asked.

"Well obviously so nopony gets suspicious." Rarity explained.

"Can we join too?" Sweetie asked, trying to hide her eagerness.

Ray looked over at Applejack and Rarity who sat in thought for a moment. "I reckon y'all are old enough to join in these types of contests."

"You mean…" Apple Bloom asked excitedly.

Rarity sighed and smiled. "Yes, dear. You can join in the plan." She paused and looked over at the others. "You don't think they'll… you know."

Everypony thought for a moment before looking at Twilight. "Well… it is… a bit unusual." Twilight explained before teleporting her book on the subject to her. Looking through it she pondered. "There isn't a law against it… surprisingly." She confirmed as she closed the book. "So I don't see why not."

The Crusaders smiled excitedly. Ray sighed and smiled as the girls agreed to prepare for the contest.

Big Momma trotted down the street with Discord walking with her. "So? What do you need the LORD OF CHAOS for?"

"Oh. Not much." She replied. "I just had an idea that would help those love birds."

"Do you really think their plans won't work?" He asked.

"Oh. It's not that. I just thought there's something we can do to help them with a little something." She chuckled.

Discord looked at where they were going and grinned. "Oh… I think I see where you're going. Count me in." He laughed.

Rainbow flew out the window and looked down the tracks before letting out a groan. "I can't believe this." She huffed. "Stupid construction. No wonder why it's taking so long for us to get home."

The masked stallion nodded in agreement. As Rainbow flopped on one of the beds, the stallion pulled out an amulet and glanced at it for a second before holding it out to Rainbow. "Is that for me?" She asked. As he nodded, she smiled and lifted her chin for him to put it on.

As their eyes met, her eyes flickered green. Blinking, she leaned in and kissed his lips. "I love you." She sighed softly.

Author's Note

A bit short of a chapter. But don't worry. The fun will begin... as soon as Rainbow gets to Ponyville.
