CHAPTER ONE: PROLOGUE

"I can't believe we were invited to the Grand Galloping Gala this year considering we basically ruined last years," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I know right. I expected them to send a letter saying to stay away from the Gala," Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Well we should try to spend this Gala together instead of separated like last time. That was a complete disaster," said Applejack. The six friends were in Twilight's house talking about the Grand Galloping Gala, which is the most important party thrown by Princess Celestia every year.

"They even gave us an extra ticket, too," said Spike counting the tickets.

"Should we send it back?" asked Applejack.

"No, we could invite Derpy this year," Rainbow Dash chimed in.

"Ok, go ask if she is interested," said Twilight. As soon as she finished her sentence, Rainbow had already flown out the window. In a few minutes, she returned.

"She said she would love to go!" shouted Rainbow Dash, excited her other friend could join them.

"Alright, well, the Gala is in a few days so I suggest we should head over to the Carousel Boutique so I can start your dresses," said Rarity enthusiastically.

"You don't have to do that Rarity, we can just wear the dresses you made us last year. Those were so amazing," said Pinkie Pie, as she was jumping up and down.

"Oh my dear, that would be tacky, I want them to be brand new. Plus, I need to make one for Derpy," insisted Rarity. In the next few days, Rarity made the girls their dresses and even made a little tux for Spike.

"Thanks Rarity, but I don't think I am going to go," said Spike.

"But you look so cute in it Spikey-Wikie, won't you go," pleaded Rarity using her guilt look.

"Oh alright, I will go," Spike gave in, trying to hide his blush. After they all got dressed they made their way to the Grand Galloping Gala. When they arrived, everypony gave them dirty looks and they often heard 'who invited those party crashers,' and 'I can't believe they are back, I hope they don't wreck this years Gala'.

Their dresses were more beautiful than last years, with each dress representing their inner person. They walked up to the front door and entered together as they planned, but they got separated as the party progressed.
