"Ummm....Twilight?...Are you okay?" The cyan mare waved a hoof in front of the violet alicorn. Concern painted over her face.

The purple princess stood in complete shock. The event in her mind unravelling, like a ball of string, it made her panic. Why was she having these thoughts? Plaguing her. She felt a storm build up inside of her, that refused to escape. Nervously, she gulped and snapped back into reality.
"I-I....errr....I'm fine." She sheepishly grinned. Despite the looks of disbelieving concern of her fellow friends.

"Ah don' believe ya." The orange mare looked over to the alicorn. Who made her shiver. Applejack was never the pony to mess with. And now she was an assassin, it made her more dangerous. But still a caring friend.

"I for one, agree with Applejack, dear. You look quite shaken up, Twilight. Are you quite sure that you are okay?" The white unicorn asked. Trotting up to the princess. Worry hanging on to her beautiful face. As elegant as the unicorn could be, she too was now an assassin. An assassin of the Creed. Making her a graceful beauty, but a graceful killer. She placed a hoof over her purple friend's shoulder, and gave a reassuring smile.

"I'm fine. I just...I just...had a weird vision." Twilight tried to explain.

"OooOoo! A vision!! Visions are good! Well, not all the time. Some are bad. Really really really really really bad. Like ones with dark shadows and evil things. But some are good. Like ones with cake and pink things. My visions are really good. Ones with sweets and cupcakes and cotton candy oh oh!! And frosting!! Lot's and lot's of creamy frosting!!"

"Ya done now, sugarcube?" Applejack questioned. Poking the pink pony with her hoof. Half a smile on her face as she did so.

"Lemon frosting...chocolate frosting...vanilla frosting...hmmmm..." Pinkie Pie licked her lips. Her saliva dripping onto the floor. Spilling out of her mouth as she dreamed of sugary treats. The others looked at her with sweet smiles. It was like the good old days. The ones where everypony was carefree. And cheerful. The days when the girls would go on adventures and play around. Having picnics and parties. It made the girls feel happy again. Even through the recent events.

"Yes...well, let's leave Pinkie Pie be Pinkie Pie." The butterscotch yellow pegasus whispered. Giggling as she stared at the party pony.

Princess Twilight nodded and cleared her throat yet again.
"Tonight...there will be a party. A party to celebrate the defeat of the Pegasi Lords, the freedom of the pegasus race and the recent revival of the Assassin Creed." She explained.

"A party? Tonight? Really?"

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have asked Pinkie Pie and Discord to organise a celebration. For tonight."

"Well then. A party."

"Oh! Does that mean I need to make outfits?" Rarity squeaked. Slightly nervous. But really, she knew she could make a whole fashion line in less than a couple of hours, but it could tire her out for the day.

"You don't have to...I mean....." Twilight mumbled on. Worried that she could stress out the young unicorn. By asking for six dresses on the spot.

"Nonsense. Of course I will! Dress-making runs through my veins. And Celestia help me, for if I refuse an order, that is the end of my business. No matter how big or small." Rarity cheered with confidence. Whipping her large curls back and flashing a grin. She trotted off down the corridor. Waving to the girls.
"Ta ta, girls. I will see you before tonight."

The others waved back. Knowing that they should know leave the unicorn to do her magic of creating magnificent dresses. It was lucky she brought her sewing kit for just an occasion, but the princess did have a room, in the castle, for dressmaking.

After the prissy white mare was out of sight, the girls turned back to one and other.

"Wait. Did ya say Discord is helpin?" Applejack asked. Confused about the draconequus.

"Yes. Discord and Pinkie Pie are making a party. I know it's a bad idea to put the two together for more than a few seconds, but they are brilliant party makers." Twilight explained. Suddenly, the slobbering pink pony jumped up.

"The party!! Discord is waiting! Go to go! Bye!!" She gasped bouncing around. And within a flash of pink, she dashed off. Up the corridor in a flash.

The girls giggled before walking in the great hall. Admiring the views outside. The views of the great land of Equestria. A land of happiness and peace. Harmony and love.
They stopped at one open window. One that overlooked the whole of Equestria. From the Frozen North, to Hoofson Bay. From Manehatten, to the quaint little town of Ponyville.

"To think that ponies out their want to destroy this." Fluttershy muttered as the sun gazed over the land. Giving it a lively glow.

"I know. But at least we have somepony to protect it. And keep it safe." Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy turned to the cyan pegasus. Whose wing was still in white bandages. Who still had scars across her body. Whose heart ached to breaking point.

"It's amazing. I can protect the land, but the ones who are close to me." She croaked. Staring into the distance.

"Rainbow. Don't be like that. You do enough for everypony." Twilight hushed. Hoping the pegasus would soon gain her confidence again, like before.

"Stop it."

"Stop wha?" Applejack asked. Looking confused at the pegasus. "We're only tryin ta help."

"Just stop. I don't want your pity. I don't you to treat me like that. Okay? So just stop it." Rainbow growled. Making the three mares scared. Rainbow Dash. A mare who has a very short temper. Who would defend those who can't help themselves. But, she is a scary mare. Who could completely change her character. To a more sinister, murderous pony. She could kill a pony within a second. And this is what made the girls scared.

However, Twilight knew that Rainbow would never hurt them. She swore to protect them. And they were her family. Family to support each other. And right now, she needed support.
But is now refusing it.

"Rainbow Dash. I understand that are in a lot of pain. Physically and mentally. I understand you."

"How would you know, Twilight? You have a family. You have a mother, father, brother and sister. Not only that, the bucking princess of the sun is your second mother. So how could you possibly understand what I'm feeling." She snapped.

Twilight stumbled back. Wanting to stand her ground. But the pegasus had a point. She had the comfort of a family. A loving family who'll always be there. And to top it off, Princess Celestia was like a mother to. A caring and wise mother.

"Rainbow! Tha's enough! Ah don' ave parents an ya don' see me shoutin about it!" The earth pony yelled.

"That's because you have a family! Applebloom, Big Mac and Granny Smith. Not to mention the rest of the Apple family." Rainbow shouted back. Breathing heavily. "I just....I just want something you have. To have a father or mother. Or a sibling.....screw it! I want to be with somepony! I want to be with my somepony!" Rainbow cried.

"Please, calm down." Fluttershy hugged the sobbing rainbow mare.

"I want to be with Soarin. I want to have a family. I want to grow old with Soarin. But that ain't gonna happen."

"A family? You mean...have foals?" Twilight uneasily asked. She knew what Rainbow meant. She just had to ask.

"Y-yes....why? Is there a problem?" The assassin sniffed.

"Oh no. No problem at all....it's just....it's just that..." Twilight stumbled over her words. She didn't know what to say. She even confused herself.

"Just what?" Rainbow wiped her tears and gently pushed Fluttershy away. "You have something to say, say it."

"You....you...are an assassin. By having a special somepony...and a foal...isn't that....endangering both of their lives?"

Rainbow's eyes widened. She didn't realise that. By having a foal, she could risk it being taken. Or murdered. Or the same thing that happened to herself, to happen to the filly or colt.
"Oh Celestia...you're right....why do you have to be right?...that's all I wanted...to start my own family...but can't....and I can't anyway...Soarin is dying. Probably dead. Considering you won't let me see him." Rainbow sighed. Her final sliver of hope gone. Blown away with the wind. She began to trot away. Her head hanging low.
"I'll see you at the party then."

The others watched the pegasus mare trot away. Before scowling at the alicorn beside them.

Beads of sweat dribbled down Twilight's forehead, as Fluttershy stared daggers at her. And Applejack growled.
"Girls. Listen."

"Ruin the rest of her why not. Of course assassin's can have families. How do you think she was born?" Fluttershy snarled. Her shy, kind self snapped at the sight of her broken friend.

"Yeah. Why would ya ay tha?"

"Because....I-I...just listen, okay?" Twilight begged as she began to whisper to the two ponies. Both of them wearing shocked expressions. Fluttershy's hard exterior disappeared as she squeaked. And Applejack's mouth hung wide, at what the princess had just said.
