It was a very beautiful day in Equestria, especially in the town of Ponyville. It was a truly wonderful day for the town, but it was even more wonderful for 8 ponys and one dragon.

And these ponys were none other than the Elements of Harmony, their faithful dragon, and two reformed villains, but great friends.

One pony who was lying on a cloud. The pony had a cyan coat, rainbow mane, and an aura that said 'I am 20% cooler than most ponys'. And her name was Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty, a Pegasus, and a member part of the best flyingteam ever, the Wonderbolts. "Ahhh, this is the life."

Then below said cloud was a pony with a light yellow coat, pink mane, and a very big affinity for animals. Her name was Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness, another Pegasus but extremely quiet when she's not with her friends. She was enjoying being with her pet bunny, Angel. "Aww, Angel, I'm glad you are enjoying this as much as I am."

Right nearby the quiet mare was a very pink (EXTREMELY pink) mare with a bubbly attitude and an earth pony. She is also hyperactive and bouncing in place, she can also defy the laws of physics. She is named Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter. "HI author, how are you today. I bet twilight is going to have a fun adventure, but also sad."

Hi Pinkie. Anyways, the next mare is a very hard working, farm pony with a tan coat with a blonde mane, also an earth pony. Her name is Applejack, the Element of Honesty, aka AJ. She gave a raised eyebrow towards Pinkie and said, "Ah'll never understand that girl."

Next to AJ, was a mare with a white pristine coat, a beautiful curled purple mane, and a picnic couch. Her name is Rarity, the Element of Generosity, and she's a unicorn. She said to AJ, "We'll never understand her darling."

The last Element barer, is equestria's second newest princess with a purple, indigo, and velvet mane, a lavender coat, and an alicorn. She is called Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, the Element of Magic. She saw her dragon assistant and little brother bringing over two of their friends/reformed villains. "Hey Spike, girls, over here."

Her dragon assistant, also known as Spike, ran over. He was a purple dragon with a light tan belly with green spines going from his head to tail. He said back, "We are coming Twi."

The first of the reformed villains was a mare with an amber coat, a firey mane and a firey personality. She was also just visiting her friends from beyond the mirror gateway to another universe where she was named an Element of Harmony in that world called Element of Empathy, Sunset Shimmer. She laughed at what the other mare next to her said, "That would've been an adventure and a half. I'm glad the everybo-pony is alright."

The last mare is the ex-student of Princess Twilight and a former villain. She has a light purple coat, purple and cyan mane, and a very great personality. She is also a hot head, and calm pony when she wants to be. She is known as Starlight Glimmer. "Yeah I agree. I'm just upset I got captured, but let's just enjoy this day with everypony."

"Now that everypony is here, I have something that I want to tell you." Twilight said nervously unsure of how'd they'd act.

"What is it Twi?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah, what is it? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Pinkie asked with the widest smile that you would ever see, while bouncing over to Twilight.

"Well... I uh... wanted to see if I could take a um break from all these adventures we've been having." Twilight said eyes down cast.

"Well, isn't that what we are doing?" Rainbow asked confused.

Twilight sighed, "Well I was meaning for an extended period of time away from all of this." as she waved her hoof around. "I just want to spend time er... away from Ponyville and explore things that I haven't done in years, like with science or learning something new."

To say the others were shocked was an understatement. They looked at Twilight like she grew two heads, but they then smiled at Twilight and said, "We understand where you are coming from."

"Huh!?!" Twilight looked up in confusion.

"Listen Twi, we understand that you really need a break from being a princess, so we think that it's a beautiful idea." Starlight said.

"I-I-I thought you girls would be mad or.. or sad." Twilight said with worry.

"Listen Twi, we understand that sometimes we need a break from everything, especially me when Ah get overworked on the farm." Aj said.

"Or like when I overworked with the wonderbolts." Rainbow said.

"Or like me in school and at my sushi job at the mall." Sunset said.

"The rest of us get like that all the time darling. You just need to know when to take a break from your duties and general life." Rarity said.

"Thanks girls, but what should I do. There's a lot of things that I can do, I just don't know what." Twilight said.

"What if you ask Princess Celestia?" Fluttershy suggested that quietly.

"Hmmm, that actually sounds like a great idea Fluttershy. Spike take a letter." Twilight said.

<-------------------->

In the city of Canterlot, the capital of Equestria, the two royal sisters, Celestia and Luna, rulers of the great nation, were in the throne room finishing a meeting with dignitaries. As the meeting was coming to a close, they saw green smoke come in and a letter rolled up with Twilight's royal seal appear.

"It seems that you got a letter so this meeting is adjourned for the moment princess." The deep voice of a dignitary said.

"Yes sir we shall continue this meeting another time, thank you for coming." Princess Celestia said.

"Thank you princess, we shall see you again soon." The dignitary said.

As the sister watched them leave Luna asks, "Why would Twilight send a letter, is thy in trouble erm.. sorry sister."

Celestia chuckles, "It's alright Lulu, I think it's just Twilight saying hello or asking for help with a princess duty. I guess we should read this to find out though."

"Agreed sister." Luna said.

'Dear Princess Celestia,
I hope you and Luna are doing well, buuut I have something to ask. Please don't be upset, but honestly, I need a break from everything. I want to have som time for myself. The girls are encouraging to do this.
I was also telling you about this because I was hoping to get help to find a place to be away from everything.
Your faithful student, and fellow princess,
Twilight Sparkle'

"This is surprising and very sudden sister." Luna said shocked.

"I agree, but I do have a place in mind to hopefully help." Celestia said while smiling wide.

<-------------------------->

A letter appears about 5 minutes later and Twilight IMMEDIATELY grabs the letter and reads it out loud.

'Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I'm glad you want to do this and I have a great place in mind.
The place I have in mind is the second most advanced facility in Equestria. It is called Pony Mesa.
It is in the badlands, but it's honestly right up your alley. Let me know what you think about the place and idea.
Your fellow princess,
Celestia.'

"That does sound like a good idea." Sunset said.

"Yeah, it does. I'll do it." Twilight said.

"Great!" All of her friends said.

"Spike take a letter."Twilight said very giddy.

<---------------------->

Back in the castle of Canterlot, they saw a letter appear. The second it came they read the letter. It said.

'Dear Celestia,
That's a great idea, the girls agree so you can send messages to them and I'll start packing.
Your friend,
Twilight Sparkle.'

"Welp, she agrees with the option." Luna said.

"Yes she did. Let's start contacting them and get the information for Twilight." Celestia proclaimed.

<---------------------------->

Two days later, everypony including the princess and Twilight's family were there to see Twilight off on her future endeavors.

"Be careful Twily, we'll miss you LSBFF." Shinning Armor said with tears in his eyes.

"Don't you all worry everypony. Especially you Shinny. I'll be fine. I'll contact you all daily, and I'll make sure I'm safe no matter. And don't worry this isn't goodbye, it's just I'll see you again soon."Twilight said as she hugged her family and friends.

"Bye Twilight." Everypony yelled.

Then Pinkie being Pinkie yells as she galloped after the train, "TWILIGHT, I'LL NEVER FORGET YOUUUUU!!!!!!!! Hey author, do you think she heard me?"

Yep she did.

"That's great." Pinkie exclaimed.

Pinkie, never change.
