Rarity sat in the chariot,flying towards the castle.Her silky mane flew in the breeze.As they landed with a jolt,she adjusted her sapphire colored saddle and took a deep breath. A surprise from the princess?It could be anything.

She stepped into the ivory palace and a guard escorted her to the throne room.

"Rarity,welcome" Princess Celestia greeted her warmly.Rarity bowed, "good afternoon to you as well,your Highness".

The sun monarch motioned towards a table. Suddenly,a door opened and who came out but....Prince Blueblood! Rarity gasped,and flew into a panic. "P-princess! Why would you bring him here!?" Celestia smiled."I think Blueblood can answer that." The Prince looked at Rarity,

"i'm sorry."

Rarity's eyes turned to pinpricks,and she fainted.

Octavia arrived at the Dusk Theatre,cello case hooked to her saddlebags.She was really excited,because this was the grand opening of the Theatre. Just as she was about to enter,she was knocked off her hooves.

Suddenly, a cloaked pony appeared and shot the enemies in a sparkle of gold,knocking them out.Octavia was stunned,but she knew this pony was a friend. "Who are you?" The gray mare asked. The hood fell back,revealing a tan unicorn,with a deep red mane. "My name is'nt important,but what is important is that you get to safety.Follow me". She looked at Octavia seriously,and walked off.

Octavia shrugged and followed,nervously.

Fluer sat with Fancy pants in the velvet cushion,watching the play.As it ended,she smiled a fake smile. "Fancy...I have to go.." He asked her where,and she said it was important.She left the the building to collect the final ingrediant needed to complete her plan...A starflower.It just happened to be the single rarest species of flower in Equestria.Where would she get it?

The mare smiled.Money was a wonderful thing.
