It was a bright and sunny day in Sires Hollow. The sky is blue, the multi-colorful flowers are blooming, and the grass is getting greener every second. Everything was warm and peaceful in the land of Sires. Well... almost peaceful....

“Daad”, Starlight whined. “Why did you say that about me to Sunburst?” Her dad replied, “I just can’t help it sugar plum. You were just so cute when you did that, that I just had to tell him. I mean; you were best friends with him back then, and you still are now.” Starlight was about to say something mean back to her father, but thought the better of it, and left it be.. not after what she said to her dad the last time she visited Sires Hollow; and that was for a Friendship Map Mission with her pal Sunburst.

Speaking of which, Sunburst is also being embarrassed by his parent as well. “Moom. How many times do I have to tell you, I know what I’m gonna do okay? We’ve just talked about this for the hundredth time. I can do things on my own. Plus, I can plan my life on my own too. I don’t need you helping me all the time.” Sunburst’s mom however, thinks otherwise. “Oh cmon now. Everypony needs a backup plan every now and again. I mean, you still have some plans that I’ve made for you, right?” Sunburst just groaned and growled with anger, and just left before nodding slightly with anger.

After the two of them said their goodbyes and left, Starlight and Sunburst were just fuming at this point; angry that not only did their parents embarrass them again, but it’s also because of the fact that their parents have seemed to have forgotten whatever lesson it is that they’ve been taught by their kids. Oh well.. that’s parents for you. They can be annoying and embarrassing for you; whether you like it or not.

Once Starlight and Sunburst both returned to the Crystal Empire, they both laid down on their respective guest beds in the castle, and just blurted out; “this is the worst day that I’ve ever been through”, and covered their faces with one of their pillows.

Why were Sunburst and Starlight in the Crystal Empire? Simple; they were housesitting for the Royal Family for an entire month, while they go on a zeppelin vacation with Princess Twilight, and her family, to the Everfree Mountains. How the Everfree Forest has mountains, is a mystery.

So with that little gesture, the two of them drifted off to sleep, (even though it’s still day out), and slept for a pretty long time. However, right before they woke up, something within them suggests that if they don’t find a way to “destress” soon, then there’d be Tartarus to pay. But.. once they were about to wake up, both of them had an idea. Yet... they’re unsure as to whether if it’s a good one or not...
