"Alright, I think I got it," the purple maned unicorn stated, as she finally finished setting up the welcoming banner. The young mare, along with a few other friends, and one drake were busy setting up various desks and vendors along the halls of the main hall.

Today was like any other day in the not so sleepy town of Ponyville, however, today was not just about the townsfolk, today would be the first day of forever for many ponies and creatures alike, as a new school year would begin.

And this new year would be no better suited than at the Academy of Friendship itself, a school which had been built by the headmare herself, as a way of teaching her lessons of camaraderie for many ponies and creatures alike. It had been some time now since the academy had been active, the summer almost seemed to never end and the sun never seemed to lessen its brightness.

But like any other season, it had come to an end.

With that, many foals and teens alike would find themselves waking up, or being woken up, earlier than usual, and the doors to many of the schools in Equestria would find themselves open. And this school would be no different.

Sweeping up the rest of the dust and bits off of the floor, an orange mare turned to her pegasus friend, "Ya almost done settin' up there Rainbow?" She asked as she lifted the dustpan up into the garbage can.

"Just about," Rainbow Dash responded, as she placed a few more trophies and framed photos of herself on the stand, smirking at the display in pride, "Nice,"

As the blue mare stared at her haughty display, the seton wearing earth pony had a deadpanned expression as she looked over at the stand,Guess some ponies can't change, huh? she thought to herself as she trotted over to the slightly hovering mare, "Ya' know Rainbow, when Twi' said to bring some personal items to represent yer self, I don't think she meant for you to tell yer whole life story,"

Rainbow Dash turned to the orange mare with a raised eyebrow, "Why, and miss a chance to show how awesome I am?"

"I'm just sayin', all Rarity brought was a mannequin and a few of her dresses, it ain't like she went as far as to bring her whole shop in,"

"Like I said, why would I miss this chance?" Rainbow retorted, before going back to polish one of her medals

Applejack rolled her eyes before she went on, "Anyways, Twi mentioned somthin' about some 'important guest comin' over to the school; so just try not to let yer awesomeness get too crazy. No offense suge, but ya gotta tendency for goin a bit overboard with yer bosting,"

After Applejack said that, Rainbow let out a faux gasp of shock, "AJ, I'm hurt," she bemoaned, "you say that like I can't control myself-"

"Do I gotta remind ya of the time we almost drowned an entire class of students over a teacher of the month picture," Applejack retorted.

The cocky mare let out an scoff at the retort, as a mixed look of umbrage and embarrassment appeared on her face "D-don't say like all that happened because of me," she quickly shot back, "it was mainly because of you we got into that fight, and out of the two of us, I expected you- of all ponies -to be more level headed!"

"Which is why I said We" Applejack restated to the frustrated mare, who rollered her eyes and quickly returned to her medal with a huff.

"Okay then, anyway," Applejack continued, "anypony remember exactly who these 'important guests' might be?"

Spike, who was busy helping his other pegasus friend polish the windows, glanced over to the inquisitive farm mare, "From what I remember, Twilight said that a ton of leaders would be showing up," Spike explained, "the President of the Minos Republic, the King, and Queen of the Assbiyan Empire, even the Mayor of Detrot are coming here,"

Pinkie quickly interjected as she happily bounced over to the others, "Not only that but Twilight said two very important leaders would be coming over! So along with those three, and the other creatures that those six students are bringing over, we're getting a whole new stack of new non-ponies!" She exclaimed excitedly, anticipating the arrival of the new students.

After she said that, a look of intrigue came across Applejacks face, "Two very important leaders?" she parroted in confusion, "who could those be?" she asked, turning over to the speedster mare who had finally finished the last preparations on her stand.

Rainbow shrugged, " 'Don't know," she answered half-heartedly. She then turned to Starlight, "You live with Twilight, you know anything about 'em Star?"

Starlight shook her head "Sorry, but not even Twilight told me about it, she said she wanted it to be a surprise,"

"Well," Rarity began as she tapped her chin, "if she didn't tell you then..." Rarity hung on to the end of that thought, as a sudden idea hit her. With a small smirk, she looked over at the purple drake, "Oh, Spike~" she called in a sing-song voice.

Spike could almost sense what the mare wanted from him, she knows that Spike had always had a crush on the regal-looking mare, and so like any other diva, she used it for her own needs. Not to say she would do it for any wrong intentions, far from it, she would mostly use such cutesy looks simply to get the drake to do an array of chores for him from time to time.

And this time was no different.

Rarity began to walk closer to the drake, as he felt his eyes begin to dart, "N-no way Rarity," he rebutted, "Twi promised me not to spoil anything,"

Rarity batted her eyes in her usual, sultry, fashion, "Oh, come now my wittle Spikey-Wikey," she cooed, "we're all friends here, I'm sure you can tell me just a little bit about it right?"

By this point, Spike was beginning to blush, as Rarity was a mere few feet away from him, and the others started towards the drake, anticipating his answer, "Well, Spike," Rainbow said, "what is it,"

"Who are they?"

"Is it someone, or creature we know?"

"Are they dangerous?" Fluttershy asked fretfully

"Do they like parties?"

Spike rubbed the back of his head, "W-well," he stuttered, as Rarity inched closer.

"Please Spike," she cooed again, with a pleading look in her eyes, as if she were about to cry.

With a defeated sigh, Spike caved, "Alright, but I'm only gonna tell you guys this-" he proceeded to look around, as if the headmare was an ear away, "don't tell anypony, but from what I heard, these leaders are pretty good trading pals with Equestria, the Dragon Kingdom, and the Crystal Empire, and they're working on something that could totally revolutionize Equestria as we know it!"

After Spike said that, everyone's eyes seemed widened at the mention of a new invention, and one that could revolitionize Equestria at that. It was enough to excite the other mares greatly.

"A new invention that could revolutionize," Rarity said, paraphrasing the young drakes words, "How marvelous, what could it be?"

"Is it some kinda cropping machine?" Applejack asked eagerly.

"Ooo, or is it some sort of machine for animals,"

"Is it a Time Machine?!"

With each intrusive question, Spike let out yet another sigh, "Look that's all I can tell you, girls, for right now," he said sternly, "I promised Twilight I wouldn't say anything else, okay?" With that, the drake flew towards the door of the school's entrance hall.

"Way to leave us on a cliffhanger, squirt," Rainbow groaned.

Rarity let out a sly giggle, "Oh don't worry Dash, I'm sure I can get some more information out of him-" she batted her eyes and playfully swatted her mane, "I can get him to talk,"

Applejack shook her head at her friend, bothered by her plans, "You're gonna break that poor dragon's heart one of these days,"

Rarity giggled, "Oh worry not, I'll be sure to give him my finest gems in reward for that tidbit of information,"

That ain't gonna work forever, Applejack snided in thought, "Right, anyway," she continued, "now that Spike mentioned it, where is Twi anyways, the school's about to open up in an hours or so,"

"Not only that," Spike added, as he pointed to the window near the large doors, "come look at this," following the dragon's words, the girls quickly trotted over to the large pane of glass and stared out to see a large wave of ponies of all colors and races standing about at the gates, waiting for the school to open their doors and begin the new semester.

All the girls seemed shocked to see such a large wave of students attending the academy, sure it wasn't like they were expecting a few new students to attend and enroll in the school, but this was much more they had bargained for.

"Oh man," Pinkie exclaimed, brimming with excitement, "look how many new students there are!"

"This is gonna be one heck of a year," Rainbow added, looking over at a small group of colts who seemed a bit more muscular, "and I think my Hoofball team just got some new players," she said with a smirk.

While some of the other girls seemed excited by this, Starlight and Spike had a worried look in their eyes. With the time limit of the school opening getting closer and Twilight missing, along with the large wave of students that appeared out front, they weren't quite sure what to do next.

Starlight turned to the fretful drake, "Well, we can't wait for Twilight forever," Starlight said," wherever she is, hopefully, it's somewhere close," With that said, Starlight went over to the doors and soon a cyan aura grew around her horn as she was about to open the door. However, before she could even open it, Spike stopped her, "w-wait," he shouted, "Twilight isn't here yet, shouldn't we wait?"

"I'm sure Twilight will understand," Starlight retorted, "she'll probably be more pissed if we didn't open the school up now,"

"I know, but, she was just so excited an everything and-" before he could finish that thought, a blue hooves draped the dragon's shoulder.

"Look, Spike," Rainbow Dash said with a reassuring smile, "I know you care about Twilight, but right now, I think the best option is to open the school up now. Besides, I'm sure Twilight will understand, alright?"

Spike let out a defeated sigh, "Alright," he said with a small nod.

With that clearing, Starlight quickly opened the doors, which allowed a great light to enter through the academy, "Here we go," she exclaimed at the two large doors fully opened exposing not just the courtyard, but the many students standing on it.

Ponyville, a quiet, quaint, village of simple folk who live there lives on a day to day basis. despite having a few, odd, occurrences with certain magical confrontations; and having a literal princess in their town, Life for this village had been average at most.

However, a few miles away from the humble town in a deserted dirt area, laid a hallow tunnel channel that would be used by the quote-unquote local diamond dogs whenever they were searching for gems. The tunnels were virtually unknown to many of the citizens in the town, outside of the elements bearers as well as their friends and family, so the knowledge of the diamond dogs was very little in the town.

Since the encounter between a certain fashionista and three diamond dogs, no one else had dared to traverse through the area, fretful of the idea of being kidnapped by the nefarious canines.

However, two certain characters, one of whom merrily skipped, made their way through one of the tunnels beneath the barren piece of land. The first of the characters hummed a quaint song as she skipped along, while a certain, slightly muscular, red centaur briskly walked aside her, ignoring the filly's overtly excited expression.

Following their breakout from the prison, the two escapees' traversed throughout the rest of the dry mountains land where Tarturus resided. The majority of their trip was spent in silence, the only time the two would speak to one another was only when they discussed their plans for their 'comebacks'.

After a few days, and much to their luck, they found a diamond dog tunnel that provided three essential things to the both of them; a warm bed to sleep on and regain their energy, some extra gems they could use on the journey, and for Tirek, a new food supply.

The two journeyed through one of the tunnels, each step they took, sounded by the crunch of dirt and gravel.

While Tirek walked in silence, Cozy, whose fur was stained and sullied with bits of dried dirt, mud, and even blood, hummed a small she heard in Appleoosa quietly as she trotted, her head bobbed the internal rhyme and beat of the song.

As they continued walking Tirek intentionally cleared his throat, gaining the little filly's attention, "So Cozy," the centaur began, "where is it we are going exactly?"

The small filly let out a giggle, "Wouldn't you like to know," she responded playfully, much to the centaurs dissatisfaction.

Tirek glared at the sociopathic filly, "I very much would," he said, "we've been walking for what had felt like months now, and not for a single one of them have you said anything regarding this plan of yours, so spill it,"

"It's a surprise!"

"I am not in the mood for a surprise you, mistake, tell me now or-" before he could make his threat, the mare turned back at the centaur with large 'innocent' eyes.

"You'll do what? Kill me, tear out my nerves and tear of my head and shit down my neck?" she inquired, with a childish giggle, "I don't killing me is gonna help you much, Tirek,"

The centaur gritted his teeth upon hearing the name, "It is Lord Tirek, you worm," he growled, "and from the looks of things, I have enough power to crush those puny bones of yours into a fine salt!"

"Hm," Cozy hummed, "I guess you could kill me, these mines would be the best place to do it to, but, what are you gonna do after I'm dead?"

Tirek scoffed at the question "What an asinine question, I'm going to-"

"Attack Cantrlot right," Cozy interrupted, "try to take over Equestria, get close and then get defeated by the mane six, and get caught again. That whole song an dance, right?"

Tirek stared daggers at the small filly for her interruptions, "W-why you little-"

"Only this time, not only will I not be there with you, but I guarantee you they're not gonna put you back in the cell; Equestria has a tight zero-tolerance policy when it comes to child murder. I'm not much of a psychic, but it can see death in your future,"

"What are you talking about?" Tirek growled, "There's no way-"

"It could happen?" she interrupted once again, however, her voice had become much different , and she seemed much more serious than before "Oh, it will Mr. Tirek, and let me tell you why; It's because villains like you and Chrysalis, and Sombra always go after the easiest move first, you never once think about alternate paths, or what your enemy is thinking, or any other basic planning."

"You always just think because you have the best abilities and powers, that you have to flaunt it like some Las Pegasus whore. It makes me sick to see someone as powerful as you, lose to a group of mares whose only luck was just the horse-crap that is, 'the magic of friendship'.

Tirek raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "I thought you wanted to become the Empress of Friendship?"

The young filly scoffed, "You think I, actually, believed in any of that," she let out a small, yet deep, chuckle, "if that their version of friendship, that can have it for all I care. I don't much care for that plan anymore, I mean at least until we get to the final step, no, for now, we still have so much to do,"

She slowly shook her head, "but that's not the point I'm talking about right now," Cozy continued, "every villain they've encountered they always seemed to win, even when they were close to losing, they somehow reconvene and win in the end. Villans like Discord who have the ability of a god, villains like Chrysalis who had an entire army at her beckoning call, had being the keyword."

"They all had the right elements, yet they were all wasted because of shitty planning and overzealous attitudes,"

Tirek scoffed, "You say that as if you weren't the only one whole lost to them, from what I remember your plans were foiled all because of, what was it you said, 'shitty planning'?"

The second after he said that, Cozy stopped dead in her tracks, causing the large centaur to also stop, "Let me ask you something mister Tirek, did you ever think about what happened when you got caught?" Cozy Glow inquired, as she turned back to the stallion with a deadpan expression, "did you ever think of any alternate routes before trying to take over Equestria, and trying to kill the Princesses?"

Tirek seemed to pause before replying, a look of unsureness was across his face as the filly waited for a response, "I-I," Tirek stuttered as he tried to think of a response to her demanding question. Tirek, the same centaur who came close to conquering the entirety of Equestria, and ruling it with an iron fist, was stumped the little filly's question.

"Let me guess, you didn't think to kill the princesses did you?" Tirek stood silent, "I'll take that as a yes?"

"It is below me to take a life," he retorted lowly.

The second Cozy Glow heard his reply, she laughed as if she just heard the worlds best joke, "What's so funny," he hissed, demandingly.

"It's just that, well, I think that's probably the funniest thing I've heard all day! The big bad Tirek is too awaid to get his hand all diwty,"

Tirek growled, "Do not mock me, why should I have to take a life when I can have my minions do it for me,"

"And yet, you have none, it's just you and me, and no one else, " Tirek glared at the Cozy as a feeling of irritation rose within him. Cozy's sarcastic smile changed to one of remorse, "look mister Tirek, all I'm trying to do is help you, and all I want is for you to help me.

"If we are going to succeed this time we'll have to give it our all, and that includes having to get dirty, whether you like it or not-" Cozy Glow stuck out her hoof, "okay?"

Tirek simply stood in silence once again, staring down at the fill with a cold glare before walking past her with a huff, 'I guess I'll take that as a yes' she thought to herself as she trotted over to the muscular centaur in an effort to catch up with him.

Back at the Academy, the academy walls were a bustle with sound, as nearly a thousand ponies of all shapes, colors, and sizes walked about the entrance hall with great intrigue. To these seemingly average ponies, it was quite the privilege for them to simply set hoof in the academy built by the princess of friendship herself, but also where the infamous Cozy Glow Incident took place.

For a long while, a widespread buzz about the school was posted on newspapers around both Equestria, and even outside of the continent.

So it was no wonder why so many in Equestria were so invest in the school that was not only run by the elements of harmony themselves but was also where yet another great evil was deafened by the magic of friendship.

It was also no wonder why the enrollment numbers seemed to increase immensely.

However, while nearly everypony was invested in the school and the incident, it seemed as though no one cared about who were the group of ponies who took down cozy, and simply assumed that once again, it was the Elements doing their duty. While the papers did mention a group of students taking her down, it was never specified who they were.

For the other elements and students, however, they knew the truth of that event; and, they know it wasn't just some random group of ponies. In fact, they weren't even ponies, to begin with.

One of the students responsible for stopping Cozy Glow's plan was currently reading one of the pamphlets on one of the self-serve vendor stands. With each word the orange scaled dragoness read, it seemed that the school was using the incident as a selling point of their academy, "Hmm," the orange dragon murmured as she read, Well, Professor Twilight really not one for showboating, so I can only think of one pony who's print this crap out,

Quickly finishing up on the pamphlet, she was about to place it back on the table, and venture the other parts of the school to see if any change had come about. That was until the sound of a certain heavy set student and her tremendous hooves came bolting towards the dragoness, "Smolder," the yak exclaimed, as she nearly galloped towards her.

"Yona-ahh!" Smolder responded inquisitively, as the last part of her response was exclaimed due to the sudden bare hug given by the large sow, who was nearly crushing the poor reptilian with her strength.

Yona continued to hug the drake with all her might, "Yona can't believe it's you," she said as she beamed with glee, "It's been so long since we've last seen each other!"

"Yeah, I know, it good to see you too and all," Smolder wheezed, "but um-" she then nudged her shoulders a bit.

Once the yak sow noticed the dragons signifying nudged, she quickly released Smolder, "Oh, Yona's sorry about that," she said with an embarrassed chuckle, "It's just been a long time,"

"It's only been three months," Smolder muttered as she cracked her back. She then smiled back at her large friend "but, it's good to see you too, Yona," she replied, "so how have things been since the-" she raised her arms in an air quoting motion, "Not-So Cozy Incident, as everybody calls it,"

"Oh, Yona's life has been pretty so-so since then," she replied, "Even after the conversation all our parents had with miss Twilight after it. Yona's never seen her mother get so, how do you say it, get so red in the face before,"

Smolder chuckled at the memory, the month following up with the incident, there was a Parent-Teacher conference between the parents of Yona, Smolder, and all the other students involved in the incident, and the mane six. Suffice to say, many of them were not happy with what happened, especially Yona's mother, who used some...harsh words during the conversation. Following that conference, Twilight made a promise an increase in security checks for the school, which, while it didn't one-hundred percent better the relationship between the parents and staff, they compromised with the action.

"Heh, yeah, and here I thought dragons were the only one that could blow smoke." The two shared a quick laugh, "seriously, who knew your mom could swear like that,"

"Definitely not, Yona," The yak replied, "if Yona didn't know any better, she could have confused her mother for a Sailor pony," she jested with a hearty laugh.

Smolder let out another chuckle, "Ha, no kidding,"

"Yeah," Yona said with a sigh, catching her breath from her laughter, "Anyhow, how have things been on Smolder's end? From what Yona heard, you, Spike, and your brother went to-what was that place ponies called it Fill..idel...phia?"

The moment Yona asked Smolder, the dragonesses eyebrows rose in surprise at the question, and her smile seemed to falter, "Oh, so you heard about that, huh?" she asked, to which the sow nodded.

Smolder let out a quiet groan, I'm gonna kill, Spike! she hissed in thought, as a mixture of frustration and embarrassment rose within her, "Ugh, look don't take it the wrong way or anything, he just-" before she could even finish, the shrill shout of a familiar mare caught the two's attention.

The yak and dragon turned just in time to see a certain pink hippogriff fly towards them at great speed, "Smolder, Yona!"

"Silverstream," Yona and Smolder said in unison. The second Smolder turned, the hippogriff crashed into her with great velocity, sending bother her and the dragon a few feet away from the shocked yak.

This once again caught the attention of many students, who turned to the scene with much confusion, especially for two students who had completely different expressions from the scene; while the two of them went over to check on Smolder and Silverstream, a look of great concern was displayed on one of them, while the other, couldn't help but let out a laugh at the crash.

"What the hell is up with everyone hugging me!" Smolder shouted.

Silverstream rose up from the dragoness with an embarrassed look on her face, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry," she apologized as she held her talon to pick up the toppled dragon, "I-I was just super excited to see you again, I mean it-

"Yeah, yeah, it's been so long," Smolder interrupted, as she took the hippogriff's talon and pulled up.

Just as she did, the two students, a changeling, and a griffon respectively, landed before the two of them, "Oh gosh, are you guys, alright ?" The light blue changeling asked concernedly.

"Wow, it's only the beginning of the school year, and you two are already trying to make the cutest couple list, how progressive of you," the familiar azure griffon jested, giving the two a playful thumbs up.

"Nice to see you too, Gallus," Smolder greeted with a deadpan expression, before turning to the changeling with a smile, and held out her fist, "You too, Ocellus,"

Ocellus smiled back at the dragon and bumped her fist, you too, "Same to you," she greeted, "I know it's only been a few months but still, it's really good to see you,"

'You're, not the only one,' she thought to herself with a chuckle.

"It's good to see all of Yona's friends again," she greeted with a warm smile.

"Looks like the gangs all here," a new, yet familiar voice greeted.

This, once again, caught the attention of the group, as they all turned to see the student. The moment they did, they were surprised by what they saw; in front of them was a stallion they knew very well, however, something about him seemed greatly different in his appearance.

From the looks of it, the stallion had the same fur color and mane color of a certain someone, but his frame was completely opposite from what they were introduced to before. What was once the body of a lanky earth pony was now the brawny body of a teen that could easily pass for an all-star jock.

"Uh, hey guys," The stallion greeted once again, in a much awkward tone, "what's up,"

"What's up," Silverstream repeated, "You being bulked up, is what's up!"

Sandbar chuckled sheepishly at the remark with a goofy smile, "Oh, heh, I guess you guys are a little surprised, huh?"

"A little bit," Gallus commented.

Sandbar chuckled, "Yeah, I guess that's what I get for spending a summer working with my uncle in Haywaii,"

"Haywaii?" Yona repeated in confusion.

"Well, it's sort of a long story, but basically after the whole Cozy Glow thing, my parents wanted me to stay with my uncle to relax from it all,"

"Relax?" Smolder repeated inquisitively, "from what I remember, I don't think any of us got shellshocked from that whole fight, so..."

"Yeah, I know," Sandbar admitted, "but who's gonna give up a chance to go on a tropical vaycay? Anyways, when my uncle heard about the whole thing, he decided to put me on his training regimen, and well-" Sandbar then pointed to himself, "here we are today,"

"Well, from the looks of it," Ocellus began, "Seems like your Uncle really put the work in,"

Sandbar sniggered, "Man, you have no idea," he jested

Just as he said that a shout from a random pony caught the attention of not just the six students, but all the other ponies as well, "Hey everyone, look outside," the stallion directed, as every mare and stallion found different windows to look through, while others simply went out the open door and into the courtyard to get a closer look.

Intrigued by the commotion, the six students took to going through the entrance door and checking out what was going on.

To their surprise, it was something they, nor anyone in Equestria, had seen before; pulling up to the school was a pearl-white, stretched out, ponyless carriage that somehow drove itself all the way to the yard. Adorned on the carriage were two Tri-colored flags of green, sky-blue and red, with a black symbol in the middle, as well as a small ornament at the hood of the carriage, which greatly confused the identity of the odd wagon for many ponies.

Smolder leaned next to Sandbar, "what the heck is that?" she asked, as she pointed at the approaching carriage,"

"I'm not, really sure," Sanbar replied as he continued watching the carriage.

The carriage slowed down its acceleration, as it approached the yard of the school, and finally made its stop right in front of the yard. Getting out of the front seat of the carriage, was a well dressed Diamond Dog wearing a pinstripe black suit and a chauffer's hat. This caused much commotion to rise in the audience, as they looked at the dog with unsure and even defensive expressions. Especially Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and of course, Rarity.

"Is that a diamond Dog?"

"I thought princess Twilight and her friends ran them out of town,"

"Is he here to kidnap us?"

The dog walked over to the far end of the carriage and opened the door on the left side of the strange vehicle, and stepping out of the weird carriage was something that, once again, the audience was not prepared to see.
Stepping out the vehicle first, were two diamond dogs, male and female respectively, that walked out of the vehicle.

Their appearance was something that many ponies wouldn't have expected from a usual diamond dog. Rather than the simple rags and vest, they were known for, the former wore a fine black suit that almost oozed a feeling of importance and leadership, while the latter wore a simple white suit jacket. Clothing aside, one flaming factor was the long red sashed that the apparent couple had on, was almost automatically on everyone's minds.

While most wondered about the appearance of the tiro of canines, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity, looked at the three dogs with unsure faces, "So what's the plan?" Rainbow asked, as her wings flared up.

"What do ya mean?" Applejack asked

"What do ya mean' what do I mean," she scolded with a cynical tone, "I'm talking about those two dogs down there," she said, pointing over to the formal looking dogs, "From what I remember last time, three of them tried kidnaping Rarity, and from the looks of it, I think they're getting payback,"

"Do you really think they'd do that after all that time?" Fluttershy asked, unsure of what the two dogs would do, "I mean, who's why would they do it now?"

"Well, I'm not one to judge so quickly," Rarity said, eliciting a silent scoff from Starlight, "but, if I know anything about diamond dogs, they probably here to-" before Rarity could finish her thought the second surprise awaiting the crowd walked out of the long vehicle. The moment the mare, as well as the other elements, saw her purple fur, and indigo mane, their eyes widened.

"T-Twilight!?" the sextuplets shouted almost in unison.

The mare in question looked up at her friends, and the moment she saw them, her cheeks grew red and she smiled awkwardly, "Oh, hey girls," the mare greeted, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment, "Uh...surprise?"
