The sun was rising as Zelda and Link entered Ponyville. The weekend ended, making it four days before the Summer's End Gala. The town was still a bit still, as the ponies were either eating breakfast or sleeping in, or even working somewhere. Maybe this is why Celestia must have felt uptight about the recent complaints about her day and her sun. "Hello," A familiar alabaster unicorn said. "How are you today? We've got to prepare for the gala. We must wear something specific to the theme. I'll find you something."

Rarity led them to the Carousel Boutique, and showed Zelda a few dresses. "Which one do you like?" She asked.

Zelda glanced at the dresses for a moment. The first dress seemed overdone, as it had too many fancy colors and fabrics. The main color of the dress was bright pink, with gold lining that seemed to contrast, and the lace was of pale lilac. The shoes had too many diamonds on the front. "This one hasn't been bought in months. I guess it might stay in my closet if no one wanted to get this," Rarity said.

"Okay. Let's move on to the next one. I'm not a total girly-girl," Zelda replied as they looked at the second dress.

The dress was of a dark magenta hue, with a silver lining and the roses on the neck area. The skirt area had ruffles, and the shoes were dark red. The mix of those colors usually signified romance, so Zelda wasn't going with a date. She would be going with didn't like the dress very much, so her nose scrunched up a bit. She turned her attention to the third dress, and smiled faintly.

The third dress was of a light purple, with the white underneath the lavender sash. The shoes were of a copper color, and the necklace was of a turquoise color. There was a silver tiara on the head of the mannequin, with a sapphire in the center. "I like this one," Zelda said.

"Okay. Try it on. I'll find a tuxedo for Link," Rarity replied as Zelda went into the dressing room.

Link felt a bit uncomfortable looking for something to wear. "I want something comfortable," He said.

"I don't think you can wear formal clothes and be comfortable at the same time," Rarity replied.

"Okay. I like medium green, with some grey and white."

"I have something like that. Hold on one second, okay?"

"Alright. I'll wait."

A young dragon walked into the boutique, and looked around. He seemed confused for a moment. "Where's Rarity?" He asked.

"Rarity is busy trying to find something for me," Link replied. "A tuxedo. That's what I need for the gala, else I would have been asked to leave."

"Oh." Spike thought it made sense, though he felt like seeing Rarity today.

A second later, Rarity brought out a few tuxes, and asked Link about which one he wanted to wear to the gala. Link chose the first one, for the tuxedo was grey, and the tie was medium green. The shoes were also grey. "Try it on," Rarity said.

Link went into the dressing room, and Zelda walked out. Her mane was perfectly styled, with most of her mane going down her back and her bangs elegantly braided with a pale silver lining. "Gorgeous," Rarity commented.

"I'm not going with someone, though," Zelda said. "Which is fine, because I prefer not to get into romance so quickly."

"You can take that to home- or wherever you live."

"Link and I were trying to find an apartment in Canterlot. But, he prefers this quaint town over the city of Canterlot, so..."

"That's fine."

"I prefer to be more independent than to be surrounded by guards and servants. I had them back in Hyrule. This felt new, as I am finally doing my own thing."

"That's neat. You're probably almost as independent as Twilight."

Link walked out of the dressing room a few minutes later. "How dashing. I'm sure Princess Luna would love to see you in this getup," Zelda complimented.

Link blushed softly for a moment. "I bet, but it's a surprise," He said.

"You're trying to win her heart? Aww, how cute," A voice crooned softly.

"Discord?" Rarity asked in surprise.

"I decided to come here," Discord lied.

"Oh, please. We all know how mischievous you can be."

"Oh, actually, I was trying to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders to get their cutie marks, but nothing worked well. They got ungrateful and left."

"Oh, you're a terrible liar," A youthful voice exclaimed.

"Sweetie Belle, what antics did he do to get you and your friends a few cutie marks?" Rarity asked.

Sweetie Belle went to Rarity, and spoke. "He made us race cars, go ice skating, and such. You never know what's he's gonna do next," She confided.

"Okay. I'm going to the gala this Friday-"

"You don't like the gala because of that prince."

"Princess Luna invited us to the gala."

"Can I go, too?" Sweetie Belle's eyes widened, which the onlookers found to be adorable.

"Yes, but you have to wear something formal. You can take your friends to the gala."

"Thank you!" Her voice was high-pitched and loud as she hopped around her sister.

Sweetie Belle hopped up to her room, and the two heroes of Hyrule took off their outfits. "Make sure you keep them in a safe place, where they won't get dirty," Rarity advised the two. "Or worse, stolen."

Rarity's friends entered the boutique, and Zelda and Link immediately left. "I never thought that I'd be more busy. These two were additions to the kingdom," Rarity told Twilight.

"You don't like them?" Twilight asked as she lifted her brow.

"Zelda was interesting, yet a bit scary. Link was handsome, and it's unfortunate that he's falling for the more beautiful princess."

"Why are you a bit jealous of Princess Luna? You should be happy that they may hook up someday," Apple Jack asked.

"Luna and Link sitting in a tree, kissing, k-i-s-s-" Pinkie Pie sang as Rainbow Dash shushed her by placing a hoof onto her mouth.

"Stop. I don't like to hear about kissing. It's gross," Rainbow interrupted.

"Okay," Pinkie muttered.

"They'd be adorable together," Fluttershy commented.

"The two would be kissy-kissy with each other!" Pinkie continued.

"He doesn't deserve a snob like you," Apple Jack remarked to Rarity.

"Whatever. I'll find another stallion. Hopefully Fancy Pants is free to kiss," Rarity replied bitterly.

"Come on, take a joke," Rainbow said.

"We need dresses for the gala," Twilight said, but the others didn't listen to her as they continued speaking to each other.

"One day, I was swinging in the park with Cheese Sandwich-" Pinkie started.

"I was flying in the air with Soarin when suddenly, he did an awkward gesture and attempted to-" Rainbow butted in.

"And Apple Bloom once had nightmares about a cutie mark, and Princess Luna saved the day- I mean, night. Also-" Apple Jack started.

"I swear, I'm not jealous of the night princess! Who would be jealous of somepony that once became Nightmare Moon for no reason-" Rarity interrupted.

"Twilight said that she's not evil anymore, so-" Fluttershy objected.

"What if she lied? We could banish Luna to the moon if we get a chance!"

"Honestly, Luna isn't going to become evil anymore! I'm sure of it," Apple Jack reassured Rarity.

"Then Cheese fell onto the ground, and got scraped. I kissed his scraped cheek, and he blushed-" Pinkie quipped.

"Soarin attempted to kiss me!" Rainbow shouted. "How gross is that? I'm not falling for him, honest..."

"Girls? Girls!" Twilight screamed above the noisy chatter. Nopony listened to her, so she continued screaming as a last resort as she did last time when her friends chattered and argued.

"And then Cheese-" Pinkie finished as the room went silent. "Oops, sorry."

Twilight huffed a few times as she started to speak. "I can't think when you were all being dramatic and noisy! I'm out of here," She screamed. "And Rarity, make the dresses for us and don't speak of Princess Luna with venom! That's no way to respect her. If she was here, and you're making a dress for her by using measurements, then she would not like you. She'd deem you to be disrespectful! She promised all of us that she won't be evil again, remember?"

"Okay..." Rarity whispered. "Sorry about that."

"Good."

Twilight stomped out of the boutique, leaving her friends in the building. Spike followed behind, and smiled for a moment. "You're scary when you're angry. You seem like the night princess sometimes," Spike commented.

Twilight groaned and glared into Spike's eyes. "What? I'm just being honest," Spike confided nervously.

"Okay..." Twilight muttered in response.

Spike stood on the sidewalk as Twilight went home. He went back into the boutique, and proceeded to speak to Rarity.

Meanwhile, as Link entered his apartment in Ponyville, he decided to write a letter to the night princess. He took out a quill and a piece of paper, and started writing on a desk. "Dear Princess Luna, I've been itching to tell you this... You are the most beautiful princess that I have met. Even though you said that you went dark one time, you were still a good pony. I have grown fond of you, and I wonder if you have grown fond of me, too. Every time I close my eyes, I think about your gorgeous cerulean eyes, your gorgeous night mane, and your benevolent grin that you give me whenever we were face-to-face. Your smile fills my heart with passion and love... Yours sincerely, Link," He wrote.

He placed the paper into the envelope, and walked out of the building. A mailmare walked by, and stopped as she noticed the envelope that Link was holding. "Are you sending it to someone?" She asked.

"Of course. I'm sending it to Princess Luna," Link replied.

"Okay. I'll take it to her."

The mailmare took the envelope and flew away. Link could only hope to fall in love with the princess of the night...
