This is my idea of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 4 story after Season 3 "Magical Mystery Cure".

One morning in Canterlot, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia are seen mid-conversation, Twilight says that she and her friends feel so exciting about life in Equestria, but she believe that's not the reason Celestia asked her here.

Princess Celestia then proceeds to openly wonder what Queen Chrysalis's next intentions will be. Twilight, however, is puzzled as to how Queen Chrysalis could even be around, as she have been defeated by Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. Celestia explains to her that in doing so, Shining Armor and Cadence just use their magic to perform a magic shield that only expelled her and her minions from Canterlot. Not just that, she tell Twilight that Chrysalis will be poised to acquire more power that they can't even begin to imagine.

Twilight assures Princess Celestia that she and her friends will be there to counter Queen Chrysalis should she attack again, but Celestia explains that her friends are not powerful enough like Twilight, who is a true alicorn princess, and furthermore, tells Twilight that one alicorn princess alone will not be enough to face what is not an entire army of changelings.

Before Twilight can question the meaning of this, Princess Celestia orders Twilight to summon her friends to her to undertake an "Elements of Harmony" Exam.

My little Pony Season 4 : Dream Drop Distance

Celestia: Twilight dear, how do you and your friends feel about life in Equestria now?

Twilight: Well, it’s so exciting! But I believe that's not the reason you've asked me here, right?

Celestia: Yes, well...

Twilight: Princess, what… what happened?

Celestia: The key question is: What does Queen Chrysalis intend to do next?

Twilight: Queen Chrysalis? She's the one who posed as Princess Cadence and admitted to feeding off Shining Armor's magic to take over Canterlot. Didn't Princess Cadence and Shining Armor defeated her?

Celestia: Correct, Queen Chrysalis's takeover failed. However, Shining Armor and Cadence just use their magic to perform a magic shield that only expelled the Queen and her minions from Canterlot.

Twilight: Huh?

Celestia: Queen Chrysalis is still alive, and she will be poised to acquire more power that we can't even begin to imagine. I’m afraid that not even Princess Cadence and Shining Armor can't defeat her this time. Her potential outstrips even Princess Luna and me. In short... This means that Queen Chrysalis will return.

Twilight: And you think... You think that maybe she is going to try something drastic?

Celestia: Perhaps. A mare like Chrysalis has is very unpredictable.

Twilight: Well, it doesn't matter what she'll do. My friends and I will be ready.

Celestia: Yes, you all are indeed strong. But not close to a true alicorn princess like you. Tell me, Twilight Sparkle... Would a single one of you suffice if what you faced is an entire army of changelings?

Twilight: What? What do you mean?

Celestia: Twilight, please summon your friends here.

Twilight: Of course, but... why?

Celestia: To show us the true Elements of Harmony.
