The Mane Six were at Rarity's shop, getting dressed and putting on make-up for this year's Grand Galloping Gala. Rarity was running around her shop, looking for her earings.

"Where are they? Where are they?" said Rarity in panic. She was looking for them all over. She messed up her room, throwing clothes everywhere, even putting some on her cat Opal. AppleJack started trotting to Rarity's room.

"Howdy, Rarity! Have you seen..." AppleJack stopped and saw what Rarity was doing. "Uh, what are ya doin Rarity?"

"I'm looking for my earings!" she cried. "I can't find them anywhere! Oh I am completely hopeless without my earrings! I feel so ugly!" Rarity fainted back on her bed, and started crying.

"Uhhh... ya'll can just use different earrings." said AppleJack.

Rarity gasped and jumped in front of AppleJack. "Can you think of a type of gem besides sapphire that matches this dress?" Rarity shouted. "You think ruby would go well with..." Rarity started to calm down, looked in the mirror, and put on her ruby earrings. Rarity smiled and said, "Fabulous! Thank you my dear AppleJack!"

"Uhh... no problem?" said AppleJack.

Rarity started walking with AppleJack downstairs. "Come AppleJack. We must finish getting dressed for the Grand Galloping Gala tonight." she said.

"This is gonna be so awesome!" cried Rainbow Dash.

"I agree! The Grand Galloping Gala is the most funnest party ever!" cried Pinkie Pie.

"Of course it's gonna be a disaster again though, like Celestia said." said Fluttershy.

"Don't talk like that Fluttershy! As long as we have fun, we'll be excellent!" cried Pinkie Pie. "Hey Twilight, how we gonna get there this year?"

"I'm turning in a pumpkin into a carriage of course, Pinkie." said Twilight. "It's pretty much going to be the same as last year, except we're sticking together, like what Spike said!"

"Yeah, hanging with the Wonderbolts was too much for me in a party like that." said Rainbow Dash.

"And those animals got me into a mental breakdown." said Fluttershy.

"Sales weren't too darn-good last year." said AppleJack.

"And don't get me started on Bluebood." said Rarity.

"What are you guys talking about? Last year was fun! It was the most fun I had in like... EVER!" cried Pinkie.

"Of course you'd like a party like that Pinkie." said Rainbow Dash with a chuckle.

"You should totally invite your husband!" cried Pinkie.

"Who, Blaze? He wasn't invited." said Rainbow Dash sadly.

"Oh Spikey-Wikey?" said Rarity in a cute voice. "I have this perfect little tux for you that'll make you look like an angel!"

"Oh, Spike's not here yet." said Twilight.

"Where is he?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"He had a few stuff to do back at the library. He'll be here soon." said Twilight.

Back at the library, Spike was just exiting it, humming a little tune. But then he started to have a stomach ache, and he coughed up a scroll. "Huh? What's this?" he said. He opened the scroll and read it. Then his eyes widden, and he smiled. "This is great!" he cried. "I better go see them!" Spike started running over to Flare's trailer. Meanwhile in Flare's trailer, Engineer and Blaze were versing eachother on Flare's XBOX, Crystal and Psyche were both laying down on Flare's bed sleeping, Crystal was cuddling to Psyche, unaware. And Flare and Aquatic Armor were staring at Flare's fish.

"How long have they been staring at us?" asked Pearl.

"2 and a half hours." said Piddles.

"Aqua I'm bored." said Flare.

"Dude, you won't get any argument from me! I mean, I like your fish, but is there anything better we can do?" asked Aqua.

"Blaze and Engine are using the XBOX. And Crystal and Psyche are..." Flare stopped and saw Crystal and Psyche cuddling while they're asleep. "LOL!"

"What happened?" asked Aqua. Then he saw them cuddling, and he started giggling. "You should totally take a picture of that, Flare!"

"Wasn't planning not to, brah! ROFL!" said Flare. He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the cuddle. Flare and Aqua giggled. Back in the other room, Blaze and Engineer were still playing their game.

"NO!" cried Blaze.

"HA HA!" teased Engineer.

"No way, dude! You totally cheated!" said Blaze.

"Ah won fair and square, partner." said Engineer. "They don't call me Engineer fer nothin, ya know."

"Best 5 outta 8?" asked Blaze.

"Yer on!" cried Engineer.

"Or was that 7 outta 15?" asked Blaze. Spike opened the door, and rushed right in.

"FLARE! BLAZE! CRYSTAL!" he cried out. Psyche and Crystal woke up screaming, but still cuddling. Then they looked eachother and screamed again, letting go of eachother.

"LOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed.

"Dude! Tell me you didn't take a picture of us!" Psyche said in an angry tone.

"Kay, we didn't take a picture of you." said Flare, then him and Aqua giggled.

"I have a coltfriend you know!" Crystal said to Psyche.

"Don't look at me!" said Psyche.

"What's up, Spike?" asked Flare.

"Take a look for yourself." said Spike, giving Flare the scroll. Blaze and Engineer walked in.

"What's the good word?" asked Engineer.

"Spike got a letter from somepony, and it's for us." said Aqua.

Flare started reading the scroll. "Dear Noble Six, You have been chosen to save Equestria from the evil lobster that is plotting to destroy the kingdom, and we need your help to save us all! Especially from Flare, and his epicness! LOL!"

"Does it really say that, Flare?" asked Blaze.

"Of course it doesn't! He's making this up!" said Psyche.

"Flare? Is it true?" asked Blaze.

"Duh, LOL! Of course!" said Flare.

"Read for real, Flare." said Crystal.

"Sigh, fine." said Flare, then he started reading it for real. "Dear Blaze Goldheart, Crystal Iceblast, Aquatic Armor, Red Engineer, Psyche, and Flare Gun. Holy Wizard of Strength, why did they put mey name last?"

"Just continue." said Psyche.

"BLEH! Tongue face." said Flare sticking his tongue out at Psyche. Then he continued reading. "As you all can see, You all just won the lotto for 10 million..."

Psyche grabbed the scroll from Flare. "Gimmie that!" he said.

"You grabby bro?" asked Flare.

Psyche started reading the scroll. "Dear Blaze Goldheart, Crystal Ice..."

"Can we skip to the message? We got that part done." said Flare.

Psyche sighed and shook his head, then he started reading again. "I wanted to give you a surprise to say that the Grand Galloping Gala is tonight at 6:30 PM. And the six of you are invited to go. Since this year is a bit different. You have to bring dates with you. Since the Mane Six are already going, you can be their dates."

"Sweet Celestia! We're invited to this year's Gala?" Aqua yelled in excitement. He screams like a girl and faints.

"The Grand Galloping Gala has some of the best contests!" said Crystal. "Whether it's food eating contest, an arts and crafts contest, or someting, I can totally win some prizes, and win the championship title!"

"Ah can show off some of mah wicket machines, 'cause this year they're having a science fair!" said Engineer.

"The Gala is always full of drinks, and water fountains, I can show some of my water spells as entertainment for the talent contest!" said Aqua.

"The Wonderbolts preform at the Gala every year!" said Blaze. "I should show the world some of my cool new moves, that mostly involves a glass of water."

"I researched alot about space. I can research more, 'cause they have a telescope at the castle. I also made myself a speech about space. Many astro scientists are gonna be there!" said Psyche.

"And I'm gonna spread the word of the Noble Six, spread the lulz, and have a nice long conversation with Luna!" said Flare. "And I'll dance with my date. The Mane Six are gonna be our dates! Praise the Wizards!"

"Wait, I'm a mare. I can't date the Mane Six. They're all mares." said Crystal.

"I was just gonna get to that." said Psyche, and he continues reading. "Crystal Iceblast, since you're a mare, and the Mane Six are all mares, you can bring your own date with you. Spike's going to be taking one of them. So now everypony will have a date. I hope to see you tonight! Your princess, Celestia."

"I'm already bringing Rainbow Dash." said Blaze.

"Ah'll go with AppleJack, ah guess. Since we're both southwestern." said Engineer.

"Yeah, I'm taking Pinkie with me;" said Psyche.

"Rarity! Called it!" cried Spike.

"So all that leaves is Fluttershy and Twilight." said Aqua. "What do you think Flare?"

"No." said Flare.

"I guess I'll take Twilight, since Fluttershy kinda has a crush on Flare, so I heard." said Aqua.

"What do you mean no?" asked Blaze.

"I'm not going to the gala until I know Princess Luna is going! Capieesh?" said Flare.

"Dude, this gala is a big deal!" said Blaze. "It's only once a year!"

"Yeah, but it's always Celestia this, Celestia that! I WANT LUNA!" cried Flare.

"What's with ya and Luna?" asked Engineer.

"Luna never gets attention! It's always Celestia! Until I know Luna is going, I'm not going." said Flare.

"But Flare!" said Crystal.

"That is final!" said Flare. "Spike take a note!" Spike takes out a paper and a quill. "Dear Princess Celestia, Thank you for your offer. But I'm not going to the gala until I know that your sister Luna is going! I have nothing against you, it's just that Twilight said that Luna wasn't at last year's gala. It got me a tad bit angry face, and I really want your sister to be there. Capieesh? Kay thanks bye. Your faithful subject that runs the pizza parlor, Flare the Gun!" Spike rolls up the paper and breathes fire on it, so it gets sent to the princess.

"Do you really think it's a big deal?" asked Crystal.

"YES IT'S A FLIPPIN BIG DEAL!" cried Flare. "Princess Luna never gets the attention or respect she deserves! Sometimes I don't. But she deserves it more."

"Ya'll care about her too much." said Engineer.

Spike coughs up a response.

"That sure was quick." said Crystal.

"Dear Flare Gun." said Spike, reading the letter. "Of course I'll be inviting Luna to the Gala! Ever since you started saying positive stuff about her, she started getting more popular. She thanks you gratefully, and she'd be really upset if you didn't come. I hope the Pizza Parlor is doing well! Tell your fish I said hi! Your faithful princess, Celestia."

"PRAISE THE WIZARDS!" cried Flare.

"So you'll go?" asked Blaze.

"No." said Flare. "J-K LOL! Of course I'll go!"

"It's settled then!" said Aqua. "TO RARITY'S!"

Back at Rarity's shop, the Mane Six were trying on their dresses.

"Still fits like a charm!" said Rainbow Dash.

"You think Flare would think I'm pretty?" asked Fluttershy.

"Of course he will darling!" said Rarity.

"What are my chances with him?" asked Fluttershy.

"Your odds are really good! He'll totally fall fer ya, Fluttershy!" said AppleJack.

Twilight sighs and grumbles. "Where's Spike?" she said to himself. Spike ran inside with the Noble Six.

"Here I am, Twilight! Sorry I'm late. We have great news!" said Spike.

"What's the news?" asked Twilight.

"We're going to to the gala!" cried Aqua.

"Really?" asked Twilight in excitment.

"That's great!" cried Pinkie. "This is gonna be so fun!"

"You look great today Pinkie!" said Flare.

"Thanks Flare!" said Pinkie.

"What about me?" asked Fluttershy.

"Of course, Flutters! You're the prettiest in this room!" said Flare. Fluttershy started blushing and covered her face, and giggled.

"So Rarity, you still have those tuxedos for us back when Photo Finish made us models?" asked Blaze.

"Of course dear!" said Rarity. "Let's get you seven dressed up for the gala! I got the perfect tux for Spikey-Wikey!" Spike started blushing.

"Perfect? Nah, I wouldn't say that!" said Spike.

"The note also said we need dates for the gala." said Engineer. "Ya six would probably be the answer to our problems!"

"Well shoot Engine!" said AppleJack walking towards him with a cute look. "If ya'll needed a date, ya should've asked."

"Yee haw!" cried Engineer.

"Rarity? Mind if you be my date? I mean... if that's okay with you?" asked Spike in a nervous tone.

"Of course Spikey!" said Rarity. Then she did an evil look. "Time to rub it in Blueblood's face!"

"Oh! I should totally take either of you! You'd all make great choices!" cried Pinkie. "Flare's super-dooper fun! Psyche is super-dooper nice! It's either one of you two!"

"I'll be taking Fluttershy, Pinks. But thank you for your offer!" said Flare.

"YIPPIE!" cried Pinkie. "It's okay Flare! Psyche and I are gonna have so much fun!"

Psyche chuckled and said, "Heh, yeah. Of course!"

"Y-you're gonna take... me?" asked Fluttershy blushing.

"Of course! You're my very special friend!" said Flare. Fluttershy's whole face turned read, and steam came out of her ears. But not in anger, in happyness. Then she fainted.

"Who you taking Blaze?" asked Rainbow Dash with a cute look.

"I dunno." said Blaze as he shrugged. "Who do you think?"

"Yeah come here, big boy!" said Rainbow Dash, giving Blaze a kiss on the mouth while knocking him and herself over.

Twilight trots to Aqua with a cute look. "Looks like you're the only available one, huh Aquatic Armor?" she asked.

Aqua started sweating, and his face turned red. "Uhh... yeah. I guess so."

"So it's settled!" said Twilight. "We each have a date for the Grand Galloping Gala!"

"But wait, where's Crystal?" asked AppleJack. Crystal comes inside with a white pony, with a flashie green mane.

"Here I am!" said Crystal. "Everypony, I would like you all to meet my special somepony! Black Thunder!"

"What's up everypony?" asked Black Thunder.

"Hey I met you before! What's up brah?" said Flare, shaking his hoof.

"Nothin much, Flare! How about you?" asked Thunder.

"Just runnin the shop, fish are kay, and Flare's going to the gala with the Noble Six!" said Flare.

"Awesome!" said Thunder.

"Well, let's not keep waiting! You all gotta get dressed!" said Rarity.

"Right!" said Psyche.

"Psyche, you gotta wear some balloons, and a clown nose! You'll look super silly!" said Pinkie.

Psyche giggles. "We'll see!" he said.

"Ah'm fine how ah am." said Engineer.

"Shoot, partner!" said AppleJack. "Ya'll gotta wear somethin more county-like than that!"

"Oh you look fine the way you are, Flare!" said Fluttershy.

"That's very sweet. But I gotta wear that tux! I look really good in a tie! I could use that tie for sealing a pipe in case one pops in the bathroom. LOL!" said Flare. Fluttershy giggles.

"Times wasting, dearies!" said Rarity. A couple of hours went by. The Mane Six, the Noble Six, Spike, and Black Thunder walk out of Rarity's shop.

Flare starts posing for Fluttershy in his tux. "Awesome possum! Leet! Epic! Badplot! FAIRY GOD PARENTS!" he cried. Fluttershy giggles.

"So where's our ride?" asked Crystal.

"Noble Six, I'd like to show you an amazing spell that can turn a pumpkin into a carriage." said Twilight.

"RIP-OFF!" Flare shouted. "Cinderella did that already." Twilight's horn starts glowing, then the pumpkin turns into a carriage. "And of course, a couple of pony folk are going to help us get there." she said.

"How we all gonna fit in that?" asked Thunder.

"Oh, I'm sorry. There's only room for the six of us, and Spike will be up front." said Twilight. "We sieriously did not know you guys were going."

"It's okay, Twilight." said Blaze.

"Yeah of course! Step aside, step aside! Let a real unicorn show you how it works!" said Flare.

"Oh you think you can beat this, Flare?" asked Twilight with an evil look.

"No. I know I can beat that!" said Flare. "You see Twilight, on my free time, I go to your library, and Spike let's be borrow some of your spell books."

"LIES!" cried Spike nervously.

"It's okay, Spike!" said Twilight. "So Flare, you've been practicing some of my spells, huh?"

"Affermative!" said Flare. "Not all were successful, like the fail-save spell, the teleport spell, and of course the turning something into something spell. Like... I never turned a pumpkin into a carriage."

"If you want, I can do it for you. It's no big deal." said Twilight.

"C'mon Twilight, I wanna see Flare do it!" said Rainbow Dash. "Go Flare!" Flare snaps his hooves together, and his neck bath and fourth. Then he spins his legs, jumps, stretches, and rolls around.

Pinkie giggles. "Flare's being silly!" she said.

"C'mon Flare, let's see you turn that pumpkin into a fine carriage! Not see you stretching out, and such." said Psyche.

"Watch and learn!" said Flare. Spike takes out some glasses, and a notepad. Flare aims his horn towards the pumpkin, then his horn starts glowing. Spike takes notes of everything Flare is doing. Everypony watches Flare attempting to turn the pumpkin into a carriage. His horn sparkles, and Flare starts sweating and grunting, like he's trying real hard to get the spell working. After several seconds of trying, Flare's hornsaber activates.

"Was that suppose to happen?" asked Spike.

"It's okay Flare, you did your best." said Aqua.

"You're pretty good at hornsaber, that's for sure. But turning a pumpkin into a carriage might be too much, buddy." said Blaze.

"Naw, I'm just warming up! I, uhh... meant to do that. Lion face." said Flare. "Alright now, let's try this aga-..." Flare's horn glows for a brief moment, but then the the horn shoots at the pumpkin, and it turns into a flaming limo. "Oh yeah, I was just warming up. LOLOLOL!" Everypony was surprised at Flare, especially Twilight.

"Dear sweet Celestia, Flare!" said Twilight. "What is that?"

"It's a limo with hot rod flames!" said Flare. "Now who's the master of changing objects? Mischiveous face!"

"Well Flare, I must have mis-judged you!" said Twilight.

"I totally wanna ride in that!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Sorry, sister! Noble Six only, LOL!" said Flare.

"But we still don't have ponies to pull it." said Crystal.

"Don't worry, Crystal! They should be here anytime now." said Flare, looking at his cellphone.

"Ah Flare! There you are!" said Doctor Whooves with two pony robots. "Your transporters have arrived!" One of the robots was wearing green spartan armor, and the other was wearing a headband and eyepatch and had a beard, like Solid Snake.

"Please don't tell me those two robot ponies are going to be the ones to pull that limo carriage!" said Spike.

"Kay I won't. But they are, LOL!" said Flare.

"Master Chief and Solid Snake, huh? Nice!" said Spike checking out the robots.

"I was gonna get Marcus from Gears of War, but that design was an option. Sad face." said Flare.

"I didn't even know you were a gifted unicorn, Flare." said Blaze.

"Me neither." said Flare. "So you guys ready to go?" Everypony said 'yeah', and they all went into their carriages and rode off to the Gala. "Are we there yet?" said Flare.

"Oh dear Celestia!" said Blaze.

"Are we there yet?" asked Flare.

"Don't start with this dude!" said Aqua.

"Are we there yet?" asked Flare.

"Yes Flare, we're here. The Gala's just right next door!" said Psyche.

"Really? Leet!" said Flare. He got out of his seat and was about to get out. Psyche pulled Flare and put him back in his chair.

"I was being sarcastic, brah!" said Psyche.

"I knew that! Lion face." said Flare.

"No you didn't." said Psyche.

"Hey Psyche, guess what?" said Flare.

"What?" asked Psyche.

"Shut up!" said Flare in a happy tone.

"How 'bout some music?" asked Engineer. He takes out his guitar and starts singing. "All my ex's live in Pexas! And Pexas is a place..."

"I think we covered that already, dude. You got any other songs?" asked Blaze.

"Ah don't know much songs." said Engineer. "But ah think ah know one ah've been saving for a rainy day."

"It's not even raining outside." said Crystal.

"It was an expression, Crystal." said Thunder.

"I know, I was messing around." said Crystal.

"I know." Thunder said to her with a smile. Crystal giggled.

"So how about that song, Engie?" asked Aqua.

"Right, right." said Engineer. He started his guitar, and started singing. "Now red solo cup is perfect for carnivals, parties, and festivals, and you my friend need to fire your missiles, if you think of drinking with a glass. Red solo cup is easy to stack, and for one is easy to crack, and let's get this party back on track, and here to sing... Red solo cup, I fill you up, let's have a party, let's have a party! I love you, red solo cup, I lift you up, proceed to party, proceed to party!" Engineer stops singing. "Now, there's more to that song, but ah forgot the words."

"That was a great song, Engie!" said Aqua.

"Ah practice!" said Engineer.

"So what you guys gonna do at the Gala?" asked Blaze.

"Eat, and dance with Fluttershy, and talk to Luna, and eat..." Flare went on. "... and go to the bathroom, and dance with Fluttershy, and drink punch, and talk to Luna, and drink some punch, and go to the bathroom, and dance with Fluttershy, and eat, and go outside to watch the night sky, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and talk to Luna, and drink some punch, and dance with Fluttershy, and talk to Luna, and drink some tea..."

"I THOUGHT IT WAS PUNCH?!" Crystal yelled.

"Oh right, LOL!" said Flare. "Drink some punch, and dance with Fluttershy, and go outside to watch the night sky, and talk to Luna, and dance with Flutter..."

"ALRIGHT WE GET IT!" Psyche yelled.

"You mad bro?" asked Flare.

"Dude, just stop, please!" said Psyche.

"That's your problem, you never do anything fun." said Flare.

"HEY! I am too fun!" Psyche yelled. He started to get really angry.

"YOU BORE US ALL!" Crystal yelled. Psyche started crying. Aqua was holding his phone up to Psyche's mouth while he was crying. Aqua started to laugh.

"I just recorded his crying! I'm gonna make it my ringtone!" said Aqua. "Flare, call me!" Flare takes out his phone and calls Aqua. Aqua's ringtone makes the sound of Psyche crying. Flare and Aqua started laughing.

"Aqua that wasn't cool." said Blaze.

"Oh you're all the same! Don't pretend you don't think it's funny, Blaze!" said Aqua. Blaze glared at Aqua, but then started to chuckle.

"Alright, it was a little funny. But just a little." said Blaze. He tried to hold back his laughter, but he started laughing loud. "Okay, it was really funny! Happy now?"

"I less then three you, Blaze!" said Flare.

Black Thunder was laughing along. "Your friends crack me up, Crystal!" he said to Crystal.

"Hey, it's what the Noble Six do, honey! It's what they do." said Crystal.

"This gala is gonna be fun! Ah could tell ya'll that!" said Engineer.

A couple of hours went by, and it was starting to get dusk. The carriages were close to Canterlot. Flare was playing his Nintendo DS with headphones on, Engineer was listening to music on his Ipod, Crystal was laying on Thunder's lap while Thunder was rubbing her head, Blaze was sticking his head out the window towards the wind, Aqua was asleep and snoring pretty loud, and Psyche was just sitting there cleaning his portable telescope.

"Are we there yet?" asked Crystal.

"No." said Thunder.

"Are we there yet?" asked Crystal.

"No." said Thunder.

"Are we there yet?" asked Crystal.

"You gonna do what Flare's been doing before?" asked Thunder.

"He was kidding around, I'm being serious." said Crystal.

"You should've brought yourself something to keep you occupied, like Flare's Nintendo DS, or Engie's Ipod." said Blaze.

"Blaze, put your head in. You're not a dog." said Psyche.

"Or am I? Woof, woof." said Blaze.

"You might hit something." said Psyche.

"I'm used to this kind of speed, even faster." said Blaze. "Bugs hit me all the time, but lucky me, I wear protection goggles, and I'm a Wonderbolt, in case you haven't notice..." Blaze started choking. He put his head back in, and coughed up a fly.

"Yeah, be careful with the flies, Blaze. They'll get ya." said Thunder.

"Thanks for the heads-up." Blaze said sarcasticly. Aqua continued snoring loud. Engineer heard the snoring, and he boosted his volume on his Ipod. Thunder tapped Aqua's shoulder.

"Hey... psst... Aqua?" he said. But Aqua still didn't wake up. Thunder continued tapping his shoulder, but and told him to wake up, but he still didn't. Engineer then banged Aqua in the head with a frying pan.

"LOL! Not the mama!" said Flare.

"OW! What was that for?" asked Aqua.

"Yer snoring too loud." said Engineer.

"So? I can't help it!" said Aqua.

"Ah can hear ya." said Engineer.

"That was a little much, Engie." said Thunder.

"It was annoyin' meh." said Engineer.

"NO!" cried Flare.

"What happened, partner?" asked Engineer.

"I'm trying to catch this Nu, but it keeps getting away before I can get it." said Flare.

"That Chrono Trigger you playing?" asked Aqua.

"Yeah." said Flare.

"Flare, we're almost at the Gala. You should put that away." said Psyche.

"I can't, it helps me shut up." said Flare.

"As much as I'd love to let you play and not talk, you should show manners to these pony folk." said Psyche.

"Who are you, my mom?" asked Flare, still playing his game.

"No, but I know you should put that thing away, if you please?" asked Psyche.

"He's right, dude. It isn't really polite to be playing your DS before attending to a fancy party like this." said Blaze.

"Thank you, Blaze!" said Psyche.

"C'mon guys, let 'em play." said Engineer.

"You should put your Ipod away too." said Psyche.

Engineer stretched his neck up and said, "Nope." Aqua took Engineer's Ipod. "HEY!" he yelled.

"You want it? Go get it!" said Aqua, throwing the Ipod out the window.

"AQUA?!" Engineer yelled.

"That's what you get for banging my head with a frying pan!" said Aqua.

"Aqua that wasn't cool." said Crystal.

"Relax! I was playing a joke really. My sister is out there, she caught it. You'll get it back later. Once I get an apology." said Aqua.

"Whah?" asked Engineer.

"Because that frying pan really hurt." said Aqua.

"The fryin pan wasn't hurt. Fryin pans don't have feelin's." said Engineer.

"I meant me!" said Aqua.

"Ya'll don't have feelin's either." Engineer said and laughed. Aqua then pushed Engineer, and then they started pushing eachother around, and hitting.

"HEY, GET OFF ME!" Flare yelled, after Engineer landed on him. Flare then gasped. "GREAT! I almost had him! Way to go Engie!"

"Don't blame meh! It was Aqua!" said Engineer.

"Was not! It was you!" said Aqua.

"Will you guys stop? We're almost there, for crying out loud!" said Blaze. "Look at Aqua's mane, it's already getting messed up."

"No, it was like that." said Aqua.

"Well still." said Blaze. Engineer and Aqua glared at eachother.

"Later, I'll get an apology." said Aqua.

"So ya think! Ah'll kick yer plot later!" said Engineer.

"Try me!" cried Aqua.

"FINE!" cried Engineer.

"FINE!" cried Aqua.

"Flare, I told you to put the DS away!" Psyche ordered

"Psyche, I told you to put your face away!" cried Flare, still playing his game. Psyche took Flare's game and turned it off, and put it away. "DUDE! I was so close to the Nu! I didn't even get to save my game yet! You jerk!"

"Look we're so close now! We have to make sure we're ready!" said Psyche.

"Fine! I already know how you could make it up to me." said Flare.

"What's that?" asked Psyche.

"SIIIIIIIING!" Flare sang in an opera voice.

"NO! I told you, I hate singing. I don't really get Equestria that much, with their singing." said Psyche.

"Well I didn't either, until Twilight explained that to be a true Equestrian, you need to sing on special occations." said Flare.

"Alright fine, but just for special occations!" Psyche promised. "I'm not going to sing at a random place, in a random time."

"Kay." said Flare. "You guys know that Gala song?"

"Yeah." they all said at the same time.

"I think we saw a recording at last year's gala." said Crystal.

"I got a funny remix! I'll start!" said Flare.

"Why do you get to start?" asked Crystal.

Flare blew an A from a kazoo, and started singing 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson, but then Blaze cut him off.

"That's not the song!" said Blaze.

"What song was I singing?" asked Flare.

"Billie Jean." said Blaze.

"What song was I suppose to sing?" asked Flare.

"The Gala song, but you said you had a funny remix. I'd like to hear it." said Blaze.

"Good idea, Blaze! I should sing a funny remix of the Gala song!" said Flare.

"Uhhh... okay?" Blaze said in a confused tone.

Flare takes out a notepad and a pencil. "Kay kay. So how are the words gonna go?" he asked.

Their limo carriage arrives at the gala, music starts playing in the background, and all the ponies are arriving at the scene. The Noble Six pop out of their carriage, and stand on the red carpet to the Gala.

"I can't believe it's finally done!" said Flare. "With all the work we put through, the winds in the atmosphere will be sure to make this..." Flare takes out a kite. "The Best Kite Ever! L-O-L! At the gala!"

"At the gala." sang the Choir.

"At the gala, at the contests. I'll be sure to beat them all. Whether it's pie eating, or art crafting, I'll be the champion at the Gala!" sang Crystal.

"At the Gala." sang the Choir.

"All the ponies, all the losers! They all will take their fall! I will rub it, in your faces, right here at the Gala!" sang Crystal.

"All the dreams will become laughter right here at the Gala, at the Gala!" sang the Choir.

"At the Gala..." sang Engineer.

"Need dispenser." sang the Choir.

"...Ah will build them..." sang Engineer.

"Sappin sentry." sang the Choir.

"...All mah robotic units!" sang Engineer.

"Pew pew pew!" sang the Choir.

"For the fair..." sang Engineer.

"The Science Fair." sang the Choir.

"...For best bots..." sang Engineer.

"First place!" sang the Choir.

"...And play mah guitar a'loud for the ponies!" sang Engineer.

"All our lives will end at the hooves from mysterious figures. But the Noble Six will rise, and spread the lulz at the Gala! At the Gala!" sang the Choir.

"At the gala, all the liquids. Wll meet Aquatic Armor! They will see me as the center of attention at the Gala!" sang Aqua.

"At the Gala." sang the Choir.

"I will show them, my epic moves, and how awesome they will be! Your drinks will go down the wrong pipe, tonight at the Gala!" sang Aqua.

"This is what we've waited for, to have the best fight ever! Each of us will have an epic greed, tonight at the Gala! At the Gala!" sang the Choirs.

The Wonderbolts fly right across the sky. Blaze smiles at them as they fly by.

"Been dreaming, but I have it. To fly with a glass of a water. To show power of phoenix and dragon, take a drink and begin bragin. The Wonderbolts will entertain thousands, I'll shower you with almonds. I hope you're not a alergic, or you'll be sick at the Gala!" sang Blaze.

"You better get your doggie bags ready, if you're alergic after. When you vomit you'll make a mess, and make a scene at the Grand Gala! At the gala!" sang the Choirs.

"I am here at the Grand Gala, for it has the best space supplies! The moon will look bigger, than Flare's big red behind!" sang Psyche.

"Hey!" yelled Flare.

"For I am gonna give my speech, all the ponies will agree. That space will be interesting, I'll be listened at the Gala!" sang Psyche.

"All the boring speeches from Psyche will happen at the Gala!" sang the Choir.

"Oh shut up!" said Psyche.

Princess Luna glides through the sky will sparkles behind her.

"At the Gala..." sang Flare.

"At the Gala." sang the Choir.

"...All these ponies..." sang Flare.

"All these ponies." sang the Choir.

"...Are starting to annoy me." sang Flare.

"'Cause we're mimicing." sang the Choir.

"I'm gonna say puns and spread the lulz, and talk about Halo 3." sang Flare.

"L-O-L." sang the Choir.

"I'm also gonna eat big like Spike, and I really have to pee!" sang Flare.

"The mares will wear the best tights ever! Into the bathroom we must go, we gotta go, and we stubbed our toe. Into the Gala, let's go in and have the best food fight ever. Into the Gala, the Noble Six will be known, and have great ringtones on our phones!" sang the Choir

"Into the Gala, kick some plot." sang Crystal.

"Into the Gala, capture point." sang Engineer.

"Into the Gala, wet your pants." sang Aqua.

"Into the Gala, do insane stunts." sang Blaze.

"To win!" cried Crystal.

"To build!" cried Engineer.

"To wet!" cried Aqua.

"To amaze!" cried Blaze.

"To share!" cried Psyche.

"Tu-tu! LOL!" cried Flare.

"Into the Gala, into the Gala! And we'll have a wasted night ever! At the Gala!" sang the Choir, and the Noble Six.

The song ended, and Princess Celestia opened the front doors to let all the guests in. "Greetings, my little ponies!" she said. "Welcome to the Grand Galloping Gala!"

"NO!" Flare cried, and started walking to her. "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO... NO!"

"Ah, Flare Gun. Good to see you!" Celestia said with a smile. "Welcome!"

"Keep your end of the bargin, your highness! Where's Luna?" Flare asked in an angry tone.

"Flare! That's no way to speak to the princess!" said Blaze.

"Oh that's no problem, Blaze Goldheart." said Celestia. "I know how Flare Gun feels. During these past thousand years without Luna, I felt the same with getting all the attention, and Luna not getting enough." Celestia turns to Flare. "Nothing to worry about... bro. My beloved sister is just inside."

Flare blows to Celestia. "Thank you, Princess. I am very happy face to be here for the very first time. I never been to the Gala before." he said, while kissing her hoof.

"I'm sure you'll love it! Just have fun. That goes for you too Noble Six!" said Celestia with a wink.

"Thank you, your highness!" said Aqua.

"This will be fun!" said Crystal.

"Is there a schedule fer what's goin on inside?" asked Engineer.

"Yes, Red Engineer. You'll find it when you get inside." said Celestia.

"So what made you think of making this a 'bring a date' type of gala?" asked Thunder.

"You'll find out soon, Black Thunder. Now I must greet the other guests now!" said Celestia. "Blaze Goldheart, Crystal Iceblast, Psyche, Aquatic Armor, Red Engineer, Black Thunder, Flare Gun, you all enjoy the Gala now!"

"Howdy, boys!" said AppleJack. The Noble Six turn around, and they find the Mane Six giving them the look, wearing beautiful dresses. The Noble Six stare at them. Blaze's tie spins around, and Aqua starts drolling.

"Oh, sick dude!" Psyche said to Aqua.

"What a coincidence to find you guys here!" said Rainbow Dash.

"You ready to have some fun?" asked Pinkie.

"C'mon Thunder! Let's go have some fun!" said Crystal, holding his hoof with both of her hooves, and her head. "I have some contests to win!"

"Oh... okay!" said Thunder. The two of them walk inside. Pinkie hops over to Psyche, and grabs hoof.

"C'mon Psyche! Let's party!" cried Pinkie. Pinkie pulls Psyche inside.

"Whoa! Careful, Pinkie!" Psyche said while getting pulled inside.

"Ready to clop on the dance floor, sugarcube?" AppleJack asked Engineer. Engineer gave AppleJack a weird look.

"What did ya mean by that?" he asked. The two of them walked inside.

"Hey Aqua, I got some cool tricks inside!" said Twilight.

"As if! I got some cooler tricks!" said Aqua.

"Ready for a friendly challenge?" Twilight asked with a smirk.

"You're on!" Aqua said to her with a smirk. They both walk inside.

"I'm still waiting for my prince charming to come pick me up!" said Rarity. Spike walks over to her.

"And he's here!" said Spike.

"Oh Spike, my dear. Your tie's not on straight!" Rarity said while fixing his tie with her magic.

"No, Rarity. I'm fine." he said.

"Oh dear, maybe I should've used blue instead of red." said Rarity.

"No Rarity, really, it's all cool! Let's just head inside." said Spike.

"Sure thing, darling!" Rarity said with her hoof out. Spike grabs her hoof and they walk inside.

Fluttershy shyly walks over to Flare, blushing. "Alright, Flutters! It takes two to tango, and I'm still looking for my number two! Lion face." said Flare.

"Oh... okay, Flare. I'm ready." said Fluttershy. They both walk inside the Gala.

"So Blaze, I got this awesome necklice on, just to impress you!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, Rainbow. You look beautiful, even without a dress!" said Blaze.

Rainbow gives Blaze a cute look. "Well let's not do that yet, Mr. Speedy! I wanna go see the Wonderbolts! You have a show to do, remember?" she said.

"Right! I got your six!" said Blaze. They both walk inside the Gala.

Crystal and Thunder were trotting towards the main hall, when Thunder saw a clipboard on a table. "Hey Crystal, look!" he said.

"What is it?" asked Crystal.

Thunder picks up the clipboard and looks through it. "Check this out! They're having a nine-course meal eating contest!" he said.

"Awesome!" she said.

"You should totally sign up!" said Thunder.

"You really think I can do it?" asked Crystal.

"I know you can do it, babe! Just sign up, and I'm sure the reward will be most rewarding!" Thunder said and laughed. Crystal laughed along.

"Alright, I'll do it!" she said. She signs her name on the clipboard. "But I didn't want to sign up right away. I wanted to go dance first."

"Too late for that. Look, it's starting in two minutes! We better head over there!" said Thunder.

"Oh, alright." said Crystal. The two of them walk inside the main hall.

Meanwhile with Flare and Fluttershy, they already walked into the main hall. "Oh look, it's Octavia! HI OCTY!" Flare yelled and waved. Octavia saw him while she was playing her insturment, waved back, and continued playing. "And over there is Jeff Gorspeed and some of the other Nashorse racers that are not worth mentioning! Oh, and there's Derpy knocking into Sapphire Skies!"

"So Flare, you mind if we dance?" asked Fluttershy.

"Not at all!" said Flare. They both walk to the dance floor, and started dancing.

"This is so romantic, don't you think Flare?" asked Fluttershy.

"Affermative!" said Flare.

"You're a good dancer!" said Fluttershy.

"You just found out? ROFLMAO!" teased Flare. Fluttershy giggled.

"Flare, you're too funny!" said Fluttershy.

"Well you're funny looking. Winkey face." said Flare. Fluttershy gasped. "J-K, J-K!"

Fluttershy laughed. "I know you were kidding. I was just messing with you. Like you taught me! I mean... if you want me to stop, I will."

"No, no. It's awesome! I like it! Awesome possum!" said Flare. Fluttershy looked down. "What's wrong, sister?" he asked.

"Flare... there was something... I've been wanting to... tell you... since we first met." Fluttershy said and blushed.

"You can tell me anything, Flutters! You're my best friend, and I less then three you!" said Flare.

"You mean it?" she asked with a smile.

"Like seriously actually!" said Flare. Fluttershy's entire face gone red. "For Wizard of Hope's sake, Flutters. Your face is red. Were you out in the sun too long today?"

"Oh no. I'm just... I just need to tell you something... very important." said Fluttershy. Princess Luna walks into the main hall. Flare saw her walk in.

"Oh hold that thought, Flutters. Luna just walked in! I wanna see her!" said Flare.

"Oh... okay. I'll tell you later then." she said.

"Fluttershy you're the best!" Flare said, and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He runs over to Princess Luna. Fluttershy blushes and gives out a big squee, then she faints. "Hey Luna!"

"Greetings Flare Gun!" said Luna. "How might you be tonight?"

"Feeling great! How about you?" asked Flare.

"Same here! Haven't been the the Gala in years!" said Luna.

"I never been to the Gala at all! But now I am! And so far, it's going great! And you're here, that makes it alot better! Smiley face." said Flare.

Luna giggles. "Thank you, Flare Gun. So how's your business?" she asked.

Blaze and Rainbow Dash were trotting through the castle hallways. Blaze was telling Rainbow about his trip to the Gala. "And then Aqua just threw Engineer's Ipod right out the window! And then they started pushing eachother!" Blaze said and laughed. Rainbow laughed along.

"Wow! Your trip was more crazier than mine!" she said.

"I know! But still, with Pinkie playing with Rarity's earrings sounded pretty dangerous!" said Blaze.

"I know. But you know how Pinkie is." said Rainbow. She stops, and holds Blaze back in shock. "There they are, Blaze! The Wonderbolts!"

"Yep! There's my team!" said Blaze. "Wanna go say hello?"

"Sure. But I don't want to waste my entire night on them, like last year. This year, I'm wasting my night with you!" Rainbow said giving Blaze a cute look.

Blaze blushed. "I love you Rainbow Dash!" he said.

"Love you too, Blaze!" she said. "Now they might be preparing for their show. You should train!"

"Alright, after we talk to them, I'll show you what I'm gonna do at the show!" said Blaze.

"Okay!" said Rainbow.

Meanwhile, Rarity and Spike were sitting at a table, and Spike was taling to Rarity. "And so that undead guy just used his shout to shove that weapon out of my hand! Was he dragonborn? I couldn't beat that guy, nor run away! I couldn't escape! There were so many enemies, I can't get passed that part!"

"Spike, darling. You should never play those kind of games! Especially if it's against your own species!" said Rarity.

"I don't have a problem with it. Those dragons in the game aren't even real. It doesn't effect me." said Spike.

"But still, all that violents! I forbid you to play those games!" said Rarity.

"But, Rarity!" Spike whinned.

"No, buts Spikey. I only know what's best for you." she said with a cute smile. Spike blushed.

"Alright, Rarity. Alright." he said. "So you ready to dance?"

"Dance?" she said in shock. "Why would we dance? Look at that pimple you have on your face!"

"What? A pimple? How?" Spike said in fear.

"Oh dear, we gotta get that off!" said Rarity.

"No, it's okay Rarity. It's only one little pimple. It means I'm growing up!" said Spike.

"Heavens, darling! If the ponies see me dancing with some dragon that's ugly, they'll think I'm crazy!" said Rarity. "We're taking care of that pimple right now!" Rarity picks Spike up with her magic, and she starts walking.

"No, Rarity! Let me go! I'm fine!" Spike cried.

In the main hall, Pinkie was saying hello to everypony and saying how much she loves the Gala, with Psyche by her side.

"Hello, I'm Pinkie Pie!" she said. "Aren't you excited about the Gala! I am! I am! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! I hope you're enjoying the night as much as I am! Hey, you like cupcakes?"

"Hey Pinkie?" Psyche said to get her attention.

"Yes, Psyche?" asked Pinkie.

"You know, I don't have to be here while you say hello to everypony. How about I go do a couple of stuff, and I'll catch up with you later?" Psyche suggested.

Pinkie gasped. "NO! You're my date! That means you have to stay with me the whole time!" she said.

"No it doesn't. I just want to study space for a few minutes." said Psyche.

"STUDY?! We're here to have fun!" Pinkie cried. "You can't study at the Gala!"

"Well, I do have to prepare for a slideshow, and speech." said Psyche.

"Speech smeech! Stay with me! C'mon!" said Pinkie.

"Alright, Pinkie fine. But later, I'm doing my speech. Okay?" said Psyche.

"Okkie dokey lokey!" said Pinkie. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, this is my second year at the Gala! You know?" Psyche sighed, and gave himself a facehoof.

In the convention room, Engineer was polishing his Sentry. "Ah! A clean Sentry, is a happeh sentry." he said. Although his sentry explodes right in front of him. "What in tarnation?"

AppleJack was holding a remote. "Oops. Sorry Engie." she said.

"You pressed mah sentry detnator button?" Engineer asked in shock.

"Ah'm sorry, sugarcube. Ah didn't know." said AppleJack.

"Oh, it was accident, don't worry 'bout it, AJ." said Engineer. "Ah can get 'nother one build before the judgin."

"Alright, partner!" said AppleJack. "Hey, what's this?"

"That's mah dispenser." said Engineer. "It can restore your..." AppleJack pressed the detnator button again, and his dispenser gets destroyed.

"Woops! Mah bad!" said AppleJack feeling embarrassed.

"AJ!" Engineer yelled.

"Look, ah'm not used to this fancy-smancy technology!" she said. "Ya'll can whip up 'nother one right?"

"As long as ya'll don't press anymore buttons." said Engineer.

"Aw righty, partner!" said AppleJack. Engineer shook his head, and started gathering the pieces of his destroyed machines.

Aqua and Twilight just signed their names in at the talent contest. "Okay Twilight. So we're gonna be showing our spells in the contest right? We're gonna do a duet?" asked Aqua.

"That's right, Aquatic! We're going to be showing these ponies at the Gala what us unicorns are made of!" said Twilight. "But not too much, I don't want us to be show-offs."

"Isn't that the point?" asked Aqua.

Twilight shook her head. "Aqua, Aqua. There's still much you need to learn about magic. Magic is a gift, we were born with it. Not everypony has magic you know." she said.

"I know, but we're just showing our talents. It is a talent contest after all." said Aqua.

"Well first we should have some fun. Let's go see the princess." said Twilight.

"Which one?" asked Aqua.

"Celestia, who else?" she said with a giggle.

"What about Luna?" asked Aqua.

"Oh right. Well, I'm talking about Celestia." said Twilight. "Oh, and by the way Aqua. You shouldn't talk to the princess with that accent of yours."

"What accent?" asked Aqua.

"The one you're doing now." said Twilight.

"I can't help it. I'm..." said Aqua.

"I know, but still. I don't want to be embarrassed." said Twilight. Aqua sighed.

In the dining hall, Crystal gets set up with her first round at the nine-course meal eating contest.

"You ready babe?" asked Thunder.

Crystal inhaled and shouted out, "LET'S DO THIS!"

"Alright!" cried Thunder. The first round was a salad eating contest, the second was a soup eating contest, third round was treeburgers, fourth was pizza, and Crystal was still standing, but had a stomach ache. "Alright, babe! You're doing great! You gotta win this!" said Thunder.

"Alright, Thunder. But first I need a little break." said Crystal.

"You can't take a break! You gotta eat!" Thunder cried out.

"I don't want to eat anymore. Maybe I should forfit." said Crystal.

"But Crystal!" Thunder whinned. "If you quit now, you'll be letting your coltfriend down. You don't want to let me down, do you?" Thunder looked at Crystal with puppy dog eyes. Crystal sighed.

"No. Alright, I'll continue, but I'll need some help." she said.

"The rules say a partner can help feed. So I can just feed you the food. Trust me, it'll be alot more easier then you doing it yourself." said Thunder.

"What am I, a foal?" asked Crystal.

"No, of course not! I'm just helping out!" said Thunder.

"I know, I was kidding. Alright, Thunder. Feed me up, Scotty!" cried Crystal with her mouth opened wide.

Fluttershy was sitting alone on a table. "Hm... I wonder why Flare is taking a long time talking to Luna?" she asked herself. Bon Bon and Lyra were talking to eachother, and Fluttershy overheard their conversation.

"I know they might make a good couple! I mean, he talks about her all the time!" said Bon Bon.

"Flare is such a gentlecolt, you know?" said Lyra. Fluttershy turned her back on them while they were behind her, but she was still listening to their conversation.

"Princess Luna is lucky to have somepony like Flare to talk to." said Bon Bon.

"I know! I heard Flare talking to Luna, and he said she was the kindest, sweetest, cutest pony of them all!" said Lyra.

"Awww, that's so sweet!" said Bon Bon.

"I know, right?" said Lyra. "I mean, Flare talks about her all the time at the shop! She likes him too! I wouldn't be surprised if they got married!" Fluttershy gasped. She looked at Flare and Luna talking. Flare was whispering in her ear, and Luna was giggling.

"They're right!" Fluttershy said to herself. "Flare is flirting with Princess Luna! Even though he's suppose to be here for me! I'M HIS DATE!" Fluttershy got really angry, and stomped towards Flare and Luna. They continued laughing.

"Flare you are the funniest stallion I've ever met!" said Luna.

"I'll be here all week!" said Flare. "Oh wait, no I won't. LOLOLOLOL!" They both laughed again. Then they saw Fluttershy in front of them.

"Oh hey Flutters!" said Flare.

"Flare, can I talk to you for a second? In private?" Fluttershy asked with a glare.

Flare got confused of why Fluttershy looks upset. "Oh, um... sure! No problemo!" he said. Fluttershy pulled Flare's hoof and took him into the main hall.

"What was that?" Fluttershy asked Flare angerly.

"That was what?" asked Flare.

"Did you forget who you're dating?" asked Fluttershy.

"No, I'm dating you, silly! Silly billy!" said Flare.

"You're not suppose to be out of my side!" said Fluttershy.

"You could've stayed with me. I thought you wouldn't be interested in the conversations I have with Luna?" said Flare.

"Why, Flare?" asked Fluttershy.

"I-D-K. Are you interested in video games?" asked Flare.

"WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH PRINCESS LUNA!" Fluttershy yelled.

"What? I'm not flirting with her." said Flare.

"Yes you are!" said Fluttershy. "I see the giggles! I'm suppose to be your marefriend! AREN'T I?!"

"Whoa, Flutters! I never seen this side of you before! For Wizard of Hope's sake, calm down!" said Flare.

Fluttershy screams. "I'M YOUR MAREFRIEND! YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE FLIRTING WITH ME!" she yells.

"Fluttershy, you're one of my best friends! I less then three you, really! But who said anything about us being in a relationship?" asked Flare. Fluttershy growled.

Spike and Rarity were inside the mare's restroom. Rarity was decorating Spike up. They both exit the restroom. Spike was wearing a fancy wig, had white powder all over him, and fancy blouse turns into a more fancier blouse with a blue jacket. Spike looked alot like George Washington.

"Spike, darling! You look fantastic!" said Rarity.

"I look ridiculous!" said Spike.

"No you don't! You look smashing! This will show Prince Blueblood who the real gentlecolt is!" said Rarity.

"You're calling me a gentlecolt, even though I was in the mare's restroom?" asked Spike.

"Spike dear, stop complaining. Let's just go for a stroll around the palace, and show how devine we look!" said Rarity.

"I don't feel like it. I haven't eaten at all yet, nor danced, no partied. Last year I was stuck in a donut shop. Two years in a row, Rarity. Two years in a row I'm having a terrible time!" said Spike. Rarity turned and looked at Spike with sad eyes.

"But Spikey. I thought you wanted to be my prince charming?" Rarity asked him with tears.

"I do Rarity, I do!" said Spike. "I'm just saying."

"I see. No, it's okay. If you won't be my prince charming, I can simply find another." said Rarity, turning her back away.

"NO!" Spike shouted. "I still want to be your prince... charming. I suppose." Rarity hugged Spike.

"Spikey-Wikey, I knew you wouldn't let me down!" she said with joy. "Now let's go see Prince Blueblood! My ex-prince charming." Spike sighed.

"What have I done to deserve this?" Spike said in his mind.

Blaze and Rainbow Dash were outside. Rainbow Dash was wearing a hat and a whistle. Blaze was standing there beside her with his Wonderbolt outfit on.

"So tell me, honey. Why are we out here?" Blaze asked.

"Because I want to check out your moves, and see if they're perfect enough for the show! You really gotta impress me with those epic moves, Blaze! Not just me, but the entire pony folk at the Gala that's going to be watching the show! Now show me your stuff!" Rainbow Dash said to him with a mischevious look.

"Umm... okay." said Blaze. "Just let me get a glass of water!" Blaze flew inside the castle got himself a glass of water and flew back out. "I call this one, 'Don't Tip the Water'." Blaze flew up in the air with a glass of water on his head. "I'll show you that I can fly faster than the speed of sound, without spilling a drop of this water! Observe!" Blaze started flying real fast around the castle. Eventually he flew back to Rainbow Dash without spilling water out of his head. "See? Told you!" he said. Then the water glass fell on the floor.

"Ah ha. Real cute." Rainbow Dash said sarcasticly. "Blaze, nopony's going to want to see that! Balace with a glass of water on your head? No offense, honey. But that's lame."

"That's not lame! I've been practicing!" said Blaze.

"Look, Blaze." said Rainbow Dash, putting her hoof on his shoulder. "I love you, and I'm only doing this because I love you. Nopony's going to want to see that. You gotta show them some of your cooler tricks, spins, and kicks! Now show me what you got!"

"Alright." Blaze said sadly. Rainbow Dash gave him a kiss.

"Good luck!" she said.

"Alright!" said Blaze. He flew up into the air and showed Rainbow Dash off some of his tricks. He spun, did twists, and even did his sonic fireboom. Then landed next to his wife. "Well?"

"That was great, Blaze!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "But you did the sonic fireboom a semi-second too late, you spun too many times, your twists weren't enough, and you didn't even do your Fireball finale! And to top it all off, it was too slow! How can you keep up with the Wonderbolts with that speed?"

"Dashie, I'm just practicing!" said Blaze.

"Do it again. Try to really impress your wife." said Rainbow Dash. "Be awesome, like the Wonderbolts! And me of course. NOW GO GET 'EM HUN!" Blaze shook his head, and flew back into the sky.

Engineer was just about finished to build his new sentry. AppleJack looked at his teleporter.

"Hey Engie, what's this?" asked AppleJack.

"Something ya shouldn't touch." said Engineer. AppleJack stepped in the entrance teleporter, and disappeared. She reappeared on the exit teleporter at the other side of the room.

"Whoa nelly! That was amazin!" cried AppleJack. AppleJack kept running to the entrance teleporter, and kept reappearing on the exit teleporter. It started to annoy Engineer.

"AJ!" Engineer cried out. "Please, stop! Ah need to focus to get this sentry finished!" AppleJack didn't listen and kept on using the teleporter.

Pinkie was partying hard in the main hall with Psyche non-stop, but Psyche was getting tired out. "Pinkie? I'm getting a little party-out. Mind if I prepare for my speech?" he asked.

"NO!" Pinkie cried. "We must continue partying!"

"I'm sorry Pinkie, I'm just tired. And my speech starts in an hour." said Psyche.

"Psyche I thought you were fun?" Pinkie whinned.

"I am fun! You are too!" said Psyche. "But I need a break."

"NO BREAK!" Pinkie cried" C'mon, let's dance!"

"I really don't feel like..." Pinkie pulled Psyche into the dance floor and Pinkie was tangoing with Psyche. She puts a rose on her mouth, and spun Psyche around.

Twilight and Aqua were walking around the hallway, when suddenly Twilight spots Celestia. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight called out.

"Well if it isn't my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle?" Celestia said while hugging Twilight. "Oh, and Aquatic Armor! You both enjoying the party?"

"It's no problem at all, your highness!" said Aqua.

"Pssst!" Twilight whispered to Aqua. "The accent!"

"Right." said Aqua. "So princess? I got a joke for you! Why did Scootaloo NOT cross the road?"

"Aqua!" Twilight yelled out.

"No she'll love it, believe me!" said Aqua.

"Why did Scootaloo NOT cross the road, Aquatic?" asked Celestia.

"'Cause she's a chicken, get it?" Aqua started to laugh. Twilight gave herself a facehoof.

Celestia laughed sarcasticly. "That was a good one, Aquatic Armor." she said. "Excuse me, you two. There's... something I have to do." Celestia awkwardly walks away.

"Pee you, what's that smell!" Aqua said while holding his nose.

"Aqua, that was very rude!" Twilight angerly said to Aqua.

"What did I do?" asked Aqua.

"This isn't one of those friendly parties, Aqua. You shouldn't be telling jokes like that!" said Twilight.

"Hey I'm just having fun! Celestia does jokes all the time!" said Aqua.

"That's PRINCESS Celestia." said Twilight.

"Whatever, PRINCESS Celestia." Aqua said with an annoyed look.

"No 'whatever'! If you want to be my date still, you have to be polite! This isn't a Pinkie party, Aqua. It's the Grand Galloping Gala! Mature up!" said Twilight. Aqua sadly looked down.

It was the sixth round at the nine-course meal eating contest. Black Thunder just kept feeding Crystal food. Crystal's mouth was very full. "Thunder! Thunder! Slow down!" Crystal cried out.

"NO! You gotta win this contest, Crystal!" cried Thunder. He continued to feed Crystal the food really fast.

"Hunner! Hunner! Ah can't fit anymore!" Crystal said with her mouth full. Thunder kept on feeding her.

Fluttershy started crying real loud in front of Flare.

"Flutters! CALM THE HAY DOWN! Annoyed face!" Flare yelled, holding his ears. Fluttershy gapsed.

"You think... I'm... annoying?" Fluttershy asked with tears bursting out of her eyes. "I LOVED YOU!" Fluttershy smacked Flare with her tail and ran away crying.

"Forty five degree angle mouth face." said Flare.

Blaze continued flying around the castle doing his tricks for Rainbow Dash. He landed next to her, laying down, panting real hard.

"Great job, Blaze! You finally impressed me!" said Rainbow Dash. Blaze smiled.

"Good." he said.

"But you still need to do it again." she said. "You gotta keep your strength up, dude!" Blaze smacked his head on the ground.

Rarity continued strolling around the castle with fancy Spike. "How do we have to keep walking, and smiling like this?" Spike asked with a big fake smile.

"Until the Gala's over, my dear." said Rarity.

Spike stopped. "Wait, hold on! I thought you said we had to continue until we saw Blueblood?" he asked.

"Darling, I said I had to show him my new prince charming, so he'll be jealous." said Rarity. "I never said we were going to stop. This Gala is all about the fashion, dear!"

"Do you really think me as a prince charming? Or are you doing this just to make Blueblood jealous?" Spike asked angerly.

"Well I never!" Rarity said angerly. Rarity picked up Spike. "C'mon, we're washing that mouth out with soap."

"NOT BACK IN THE MARE'S ROOM!" Spike cried.

Engineer just finished all his robots. "There! After an hour of buildin, ah'm finally finished!" said Engineer. He looked at the time on his cell phone. "And only a half-hour left to spare!" Engineer gasped. "Wait... spies sappin mah teleporter. And mah dispenser! And mah sentry!" EMP devices were planted on all of Engineer's electronics, then as Engineer was trying to deactivate them, all his machines blew up. "NOOOOOOO!" he cried out.

"Hey Engie? What do these little devices do?" AppleJack asked Engineer while holding a sapper. Engineer gasped, and got real angry. So angry, steam was coming out of his ears, and his eyes were on fire.

Psyche was really getting tired out. He was dancing real slow, as Pinkie was hoping around, and dancing fast still. "C'mon Psyche! You can do better than that!" Pinkie said, shaking Psyche around.

"PINKIE! I'M TIRED! PINKIE! STOP!" he cried.

"We'll stop when we're dead!" cried Pinkie. "You should drink coffee more often you silly goose!"

Twilight was having a conversation with Coolgate Minuette. "So then I was writing this letter to the princess, right? So I decided too..." Twilight's drink started floating out of the glass, and everypony else's in the room was too. All the liquid was going towards Aqua. The Aqua starts surrounding him.

"Mares and gentlecolts. I'm here to show you how to make a great sculpture made of your drinks!" said Aqua. Twilight growled at Aqua.

"AQUA STOP!" she cried. Aqua lost his consintration and all the liquid fell on him.

"Twilight! My tux!" he cried.

"You gotta stop being a complete animal!" cried Twilight. "You're embarrassing me!"

"I'M EMBARRASSING YOU!" he cried. "You're embarrassing me! You keep telling me what to do! You're not my mom!"

Twilight gasped. "Well, I never!" she said. "Maybe I should've taken somepony else with me."

"Yeah maybe you should've!" Aqua yelled. Twilight gasped again, and started to tear up.

"I expected better of you, Aquatic Armor!" said Twilight. She walked away.

Aqua shook his head. "Stop telling me what to do, Twilight." Aqua said to himself.

"Swop feeding me, Hunner!" Crystal yelled with her mouth full, while Thunder was still feeding her.

"Stop being so jealous, Flutters!" Flare said to himself while getting some punch.

"Stop making me do the same stunts, Dash!" Blaze said to himself while flying.

"Stop wasting my time, Rarity!" Spike said to himself while getting dragged into the bathroom by Rarity.

"Stop messin with mah stuff, AppleJack!" Engineer said to himself while picking up the pieces of his destroyed robots.

"Stop wearing me out, Pinkie!" Psyche said to himself, still getting tired out from partying with Pinkie.

"This is the worse night I've ever had!" the Noble Six and Spike all said at the same time at their own locations.

"Actually... I think I've had worse." said Flare.

"I need to cool off!" the Noble Six and Spike all said together, but in different locations.

"Stop jinxing it guys!" said Flare.

A few minutes went by. Flare was sneaking around the castle halls. There was nopony around. He was tip-toeing while his back was against the wall. He saw a door with a sign on top that said Library. Flare opened the door and snuck inside. It was completely dark, except for the window at the end of the library that was letting in the moonlight. Flare walked in the middle of the library, walked behind the desk, and saw his Noble Six friends there, along with Spike.

"Sup brahs?" said Flare.

"Hey, Flare. You hear the same reason as us?" asked Crystal.

"That depends. Why you guys here?" asked Flare.

"We just need to get away from them!" said Aqua.

"Yeah, it seems our dates are pushing us too far!" said Blaze.

"No more make-ups, no more strolling! This isn't my type of fun." Spike says, trying to get the make-up off him.

Flare sat down next to them. "So what did your dates do?" he asked.

"I couldn't take this nine-course meal eating contest anymore!" said Crystal with a burp. "I can't eat another bite! I guess I'm not going to be the champion this year. But I can't even think with my mouth full!"

"That's what she said!" teased Flare. "ROFLMAO!"

"Seriously, Flare?" Engineer said giving Flare a weird look.

"Rainbow Dash kept making me practice! I was tired out, and didn't want to do anymore stunts until the show!" said Blaze. "But I don't think I could do anymore stunts at all tonight! Maybe I won't show the world my stuff."

"Rarity keeps dressing me up, giving me make-up!" said Spike. "I even went into the Mare's room! It wasn't pretty in there! There was no urnals!"

"AJ kept playin with mah teleporter, and destroying all mah work. Ah'm gonna be dead last in the science fair for sure!" said Engineer.

"Pinkie was non-stop partying." said Psyche. "I wouldn't mind if she kept partying, but did she have to keep me with her? I was tired out, and now I don't have time to rehearse for my speech! Looks like my research might be all for naught."

"Twilight kept telling me what to do. She was spoilin my fun." said Aqua. "I couldn't tell jokes, I couldn't show my spells out to anypony. That mare's crazy!"

"What 'bout you, Flare?" asked Engineer.

"Well... it wasn't easy for Fluttershy." said Flare. "She was showing me a side I never knew before. Her anger. Her jealousy. I was talking to Princess Luna, and she thought I was flirting with her. Fluttershy's in love with me you know. Now I made her upset. I could never forgive myself now. I never wanted to hurt her feelings. I just don't know what went wrong."

"Now you sound like Derpy." said Crystal.

"Well... I was just trying to make Pinkie happy by staying with her." said Psyche. "She just tired me out. Now she must be upset, because I abandoned her. Probably ruined her fun."

"AJ was was concerned. She's not used to mah fancy technology." said Engineer. "Ah'm sure she didn't mean to destroy mah machines."

"Rarity did want me to be her prince charming." said Spike. "It's what I've dreamed of being. But now that I left her alone, I think I'll lose that position."

"I was pretty lucky to be Twilight's date. She's right, this isn't a Pinkie party." said Aqua. "But her bossing me around gave me so much stress! But she was only trying to help because she cares."

"I did want to win, and Thunder was just helping me." said Crystal. "It wasn't right for me to leave him like that."

"I'm still tired out. I still don't think Rainbow should've made me do all that training." said Blaze. Everypony looked at him awkwardly. Blaze sighed. "Okay, fine. Rainbow really wanted me to make the perfect show. Maybe I should've stormed off while she wasn't looking."

Psyche started crying. "Oh, Psyche. Don't take it too hard." said Flare. "You're crying, now I'm gonna cry..."

"I'm not crying." said Psyche.

"Oh that's just my phone again. I still have Psyche's crying as my ringtone. Twilight kept non-stop calling me after I left her." said Aqua.

"Boy, we feel like jerks, don't we?" said Crystal.

"That reminds me, sorry for throwing your Ipod out the window Engie." said Aqua

"Sorry 'bout bangin your head with a fryin pan. Ya'll can hit me if ya want." said Engineer, with a frying pan on his hoof.

"No, it's okay." said Aqua.

"Alright. Ah didn't really..." said Engineer. But then Aqua banged him on the head with the frying pan.

"NOT!" Aqua said with a laugh.

"Not the mama!" said Flare.

"Why ah outta!" Engineer cried angerly. Then he laughed along with Aqua and the rest of the Noble Six, and Spike.

Some time went by. The Noble Six and Spike walked out into the halls.

"Kay. So we gonna apologize to our dates, right?" asked Flare.

"Right." they said.

"And we're gonna make it up to them, right?" asked Flare.

"Right." they said.

"And then we're gonna have our revenge on them by posting embarrassing pictures of them on the interwebs, right?" asked Flare.

"Right." they said.

"Wow, you guys serious? I was actually kidding around." said Flare.

The Mane Six, and Black Thunder were hanging in the main hall. They see their dates walking in, and they walked to them.

"Guys... we have something to say." Flare said to them.

"As of we." said Twilight.

"We're sorry guys. We didn't know we were pushing you guys too hard." said Rainbow Dash.

"How did you guys know?" asked Crystal.

"You guys walked off on us." said Fluttershy.

"At first were, GRRRRRR, angry!" said Pinkie. "But then we were, WAAAAH, sad."

"We realized how much stress we put in you guys." said Thunder.

"No, it was our faults. We shouldn've left you in what was suppose to be the best kite ever." said Psyche.

"Night, dude. Not kite." said Blaze.

Psyche gave himself a facehoof and sighed. "Nice job, Flare! You got me confused after we sang that song." he said.

"No problemo, brah! Smiley face." said Flare.

"We're sorry for leavin ya'll." said Engineer.

"Don't worry guys. It's cool. Princess Celestia said last year that the gala is suppose to be disaster. And we sure gave you all a good push!" said Twilight.

"Ya'll can forgive us right?" asked AppleJack.

"Of course! What are sixes for?" asked Flare.

"I believe you all learned a good meaning of friendship tonight." Celestia said, with Luna beside her.

"We sure did, Princess Celestia!" said Twilight. "What we learned tonight is..."

"Luna, we learned that dating is hard, but sometimes..." Flare said cutting Twilight off, but then Twilight cut him off.

"Hey I was going to tell Celestia about our friendship lesson." said Twilight.

"I know. And I'm telling Luna our friendship lesson." said Flare.

"I write to letters to Princess Celestia every week about friendship." said Twilight.

"And I write letters to Princess Luna every week about friendship, and other random stuff." said Flare.

"Alright, you can go first if you want." said Twilight.

"No, after you please?" asked Flare.

"Okay. Princess Celestia, what we learned is..." Twilight said, but Flare cut her off.

"NO! I wanna go first!" said Flare.

"Fine, go first." said Twilight.

"Nah, I changed my mind, you go." said Flare.

"Make your mind!" said Twilight. "As I was saying, what we learned tonight about friendship is, that you can't..."

"WAIT! I just realized I wanted to go first." said Flare.

"FINE! GO!" Twilight yelled.

"Hmm... nah, you go." said Flare.

Twilight groaned. "Princess Celestia..." Twilight quickly turned to Flare, then back to Celestia. "What we learned tonight is..." Twilight quickly turned to Flare again.

"What?" said Flare in concern.

Twilight turned back to Celestia. "We learned that we can't rely on just our own personal feelings..."

"WAIT!" cried Flare. Twilight groaned real loud. "J-K, J-K! I promise I won't interupt again! Capieesh?"

Twilight sighed, and turned back to Celestia. "Princess Celestia, what we learned tonight is that you can't rely on your own personal feelings to make this the best night ever. If you ever bring somepony with you on a date, make sure you keep them just as happy as you, and not to be so selfish and just do the stuff you want."

"Very interesting, Twilight Sparkle!" said Celestia.

"Go ahead, Flare!" said Twilight.

"Oh already? I actually didn't think of what to say. You didn't give me enough time." said Flare.

"Sorry." said Twilight.

"No problemo, I got something else! Less funny though. I was actually gonna make a joke in it, but whatever." said Flare. "Princess Luna, what we learned tonight is that if stuff doesn't go your way, you shouldn't just abandon your dates. Dating isn't easy. But if they push you too far, try to tell them."

"I tried telling Pinkie all night!" cried Psyche.

"Psyche, I can't help it! I'm a party animal, remember?" said Pinkie.

"A wonderful lesson, Flare Gun!" said Luna. "And thanks for thinking of me tonight. It means alot!"

"You know Crystal, the contest is still going on. Ready to win? But this time, I won't force you." said Thunder.

"All I needed was a break. LET'S DO THIS!" cried Crystal.

"Alright Rarity, let's stroll around the palace. Your prince charming awaits!" said Spike.

"Oh. Prince Blueblood was ill tonight, so he didn't even show up. We already did what I want. Now let's do what you want, dear!" said Rarity.

"Alright! I say we should stroll around the palace!" said Spike.

"Sounds like a plan!" said Rarity.

"I'll do my best tonight, honey." said Blaze. "I'll be sure to get it perfect!"

"Alright, awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. "Oh, and Blaze?" She places a water glass on his head. "Don't forget this." She winks at him. Blaze smiles at her.

"Well, it's almost time for my speech, Pinkie! Then we can party hard again all you want!" said Psyche.

"Nah, I'm pretty partied out, Psyche." said Pinkie. "But thanks for the offer though! Time to dump my face in the big chocolate fountain!"

"Alright, cool!" said Psyche.

"Hey Sugarcube, the Science fair is almost on! Ah actually got yer stuff rebuild for ya!" said AppleJack.

"Really?" asked Engineer. "How?"

"Ah saw you build 'em." said AppleJack. "All ya do is whack them with yer wrench. It ain't hard. Oh, and ah also taught that pony over there a lesson for messin with ya stuff." AppleJack points to a pony with a blue Spy outfit, laying on the ground, beat up, with stars on his head.

"So that was him destroyin mah stuff this whole time!" said Engineer. "And ah yelled at ya for what reason?" Engineer smiled at her.

"Sorry about that joke Twilight, and those spells." said Aqua.

"To be honest, I was just jealous. I never learned to do spells like that! You should teach me!" said Twilight.

"Sounds good!" said Aqua. "Sorry about that joke, Princess."

"What joke?" asked Celestia.

"The chicken joke." said Aqua.

"Oh." Celestia said with a laugh. "It was funny! I liked it!"

"Then why did you walk away awkwardly?" asked Aqua.

"You didn't smell anything bad, did you Aquatic Armor?" asked Celestia.

"Now that you mention it, I did." said Aqua. "Oh... I get it."

Celestia blushed. "Pardon me." she said.

"Fluttershy, I apologize deeply for leaving you." said Flare. "I never get to see Luna at all! She hasn't been around lately, so I really wanted to talk to her. I talk to you everyday! I mean..." Before Flare can finish, Fluttershy gives Flare a smooch in the lips.

"It's okay, Flare." said Fluttershy. "I realized how... jealous I was, and how angry. I never had that feeling before. Sorry Flare. I hope you can forgive me."

"I forgive you." said Flare. "Happy face."

Fluttershy blushed. "To be honest. I'm not ready for a relationship yet." she said. "Maybe it's best we stay as best friends! And you should go date whoever you want to date! I mean... if that's okay with you."

"Not a problem, Flutters!" said Flare. "I wasn't ready for a relationship either. How you reacted was just what I was afraid of. That's why I never asked any of you out."

"Oh." said Fluttershy. "Okay. Well, we can still dance... one more time... if that's alright."

"Not a problem!" said Flare.

A couple of hours went by, and the Gala was reaching it's conclusion. The Mane Six, Noble Six, Spike, Thunder, and the Princesses all went down to Donut Joe's shop. They all ordered something, and sat down at some tables.

"And so, here we are again." said Spike. "Except this time, with the Noble Six, Luna, and Thunder."

"So did you all enjoy the Gala?" asked Luna.

"I didn't get to win the championship, but I did win third place!" said Crystal.

"That's my girl!" said Thunder.

"Good news is that mah teleporter won for first prize!" said Engineer. "Bad news, the Sentry injured the judges, and ah was disqualified."

"Ya did good, sugarcube!" said AppleJack.

"Couldn't do it without ya, Jackie!" said Engineer.

"That Wonderbolts show was the best show I've ever seen!" cried Rainbow Dash. "You guys should've seen Blaze in action! I am so proud of you, Blaze!"

Blaze blushed. "Hey, easy girl. You still owe me one favor when we get to the hotel." he said with a wink.

"We did amazing at the talent show, didn't we Aqua?" asked Twilight.

"We sure did! Second place isn't bad at all!" said Aqua.

"My speech was a success!" said Psyche. "I'm going to be reaching new heights! Seriously!"

Pinkie giggled. "Psyche you're so silly!"

"And I had the best dance ever, with my best friend!" said Fluttershy.

"I know! And I spreaded the word of the Noble Six! Not enough ponies know us yet, but they will." said Flare. "I also found a location to expand my Pizza Parlor here! It'll be ready very soon!"

"But there's one thing I still don't understand, Flare." said Fluttershy. "I saw Bon Bon and Lyra at the Gala. They said you and Luna would make an execellent couple. They heard you and Luna talking, and thought that. I mean, you keep talking about her at your shop."

"I talk about her, yeah." said Flare. "But I talk about you more." Bon Bon and Lyra walked over to them.

"We were actually talking about you and Flare, Fluttershy." said Lyra.

"But you said Luna was lucky to have somepony like Flare around." said Fluttershy.

"Flare was one of the few ponies that supported her when she returned from her banishment." said Bon Bon.

"It's true." said Luna.

"Aw that's so sweet!" said Fluttershy. Psyche cries in the background.

"Oh Aqua, you're phone is ringing." said Flare.

Aqua takes out his phone. "It's not ringing." he said. Psyche was right next to him, really crying.

"Aw what's wrong dude?" asked Flare.

"Nothing!" said Psyche, calming down. "Just... you're making this an emotional moment is all."

"Oh really? In that case..." Flare gives Psyche an evil look. "DOGPILE ON PSYCHE! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!" Flare jumps on Psyche, followed by the rest of the Noble Six, the Mane Six, the princesses, and Spike on top. They all laughed.
