It was a nice day in Equestria.

Twilight Sparkle was busy in her library, writing a quick report back to Celestia. "Dear Princess Celestia, I heard from Spike that you were having a party for Luna's birthday.
Sounds like fun!"
She quickly sent it off, and went back to reading her book, which she was thoroughly enjoying. The plot was challenging, although she knew it would make sense in the end.

Rainbow Dash had just cleared the skies, letting the sun shine through, all across Ponyville.
She sighed. "What is up with this?! Why are there always so MANY CLOUDS?"
She had been practicing her Sonic Rainboom for an upcoming competition to talk to the Wonderbolts. She had missed her favourite flying group, and was extremely sad she couldn't join. She lived for the thrill of flying. Well, winning, more like it, but she did love flying.
Just as she hit another cloud, making it burst into little watery puffs, Pinkie Pie came skipping down the path with a large note in her mouth, rolled into a cylinder and tied with red ribbon. Something important.
"DASHIE, MAH BESTIEE!" She was screaming at the top of her lungs. "CELESTIA'S ORGANISED A PARTY FOR LUNA'S BIRTHDAY! HERE'S YOUR INVITATIONNNN!"
Dash rolled her eyes. She wasn't really into parties, not as much as Pinkie anyway. "Um... Yeah? Alright..." She mumbled as Pinkie trotted away.
Luna's birthday, eh? Well as long as Vinyl Scratch was there with the music, NOT OCTAVIA... She would definitely go and take a look around.

Applejack and Apple Bloom were preparing pies and cider, as Soarin happened to be walking by.
"Aye there, Soarin. What brings ya here, sugarcube?" Applejack proudly proclaimed in her thick accent. He said that they had been planning a show for Luna's party. "Wow, for such an evil mare like 'er, why are we goin' to all the trouble to celebrate 'er birthday?" Apple Bloom asked. They weren't the most attentive fillies in class, the CMC, and they sure weren't the smartest, either, as Cherilee had explained.
They shrugged off Apple Bloom's question and started talking about the show. This was going to be one LONG party, but an exiting one.
