Abohaty's P.O.V

"You're calling off for the weekend?" Dusk Shine asked watching from my bed as I entered the room.

"Yup!" I answered full of joy.

"Are you crazy?! "You should be here practicing with me!" I gave him a look in disbelief.

"Dude, come on, it's one weekend! Plus, I thought we were finished after I kicked your butt last time." Dusk Shine was quiet for a moment. Then he stared deep into my blue eyes.

"Forget it." I raised an eyebrow. "Do whatever you want this weekend. You do need a small break princess."

"Um...thank you?" Dusk Shine hopped off of the bed, landing on his four hooves, and then started walking towards the door. "Uh, where are you going?"

"None of your concerns Abohaty." He walked out of my bedroom and made sure to shut the door behind him. Abohaty looked back in slight confusion but didn't think much of it. It was getting a bit late and tomorrow was the day I got to leave the castle once and for all. Grammar was known for constantly throwing parties, and usually, I'm able to attend them because he's Glitz's little brother. But typically it's not that many ponies who attend. It's just Glitz, Grammar, and Gabe. I heard from Glitz the other day, that it's gonna be a bigger party. So I'm very likely to see some of my friends there too.

I looked at the time. It was getting pretty late, so I decided to place myself under the blankets.

The next morning came immediately. It was bright outside, I could see the sun rising from the large window beside my bed. When my eyes lit open, the sun shun before me.

Today.

Today was Glitz's house party and I was so excited to get a break in for once after nonstop training. The time it started was at six pm, but I planned to leave earlier so I could hang out a bit with my friends beforehand. This is my one day off, so I have made use of it. I can catch the train to Canterlot with Celia and Bella! Maybe not Bella but, Celia would be okay with it! Bella just wasn't into parties at all unless it was formal, so she'd usually stay home.

"No." My mouth opens wide. Celia sighed. "Listen Abohaty, I know we don't see each other much, and I'll make it up to you too. But I really can't make it to this party." By looking at her facial expressions, I could tell she was a little nervous. Usually, Celia is pretty free.

"Why can't you go...?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Well I mean, I uh..have some errands to run." Something told me she wasn't telling the full truth. Nothing was adding up, because what work did Celia possibly have to do on a Saturday?

"Oh...okay I just thought it'd be nice to attend the party together and catch up with all of our friends. Because I know after this, I'm gonna be a lot busier than usual, since something came up. So I was hoping to at least see all of my friends one last time. I was gonna ask Bella too, but you know she hates parties." Celia nodded. It almost looked like she wanted her to leave.

"Gee, I hope everything's alright. But still, I can't go. Won't be able to make it in time. But uh...do you know if Kelsey will be there...?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"Uh...yeah? What kind of question is that? Kelsey loves parties. And you know...I'm sure she'd be upset you didn't come!!" Celia frowned. I noticed this instantly and stepped forward. "Are you sure you're okay? Did something happen between you guys?"

"Abohaty, I have to go." She began shutting the door and I put her hoof up to hold it.

"Wait, Celia!"

"I'm sorry."

And just like that, she shut the door. I felt rude to continue asking because clearly, she didn't want to talk about anything. It was just weird that something happened between the two. They always seemed to get along well and no one hardly gets into an argument with Kelsey. With that being confirmed that Celia wasn't going, Abohaty thought to ask Bella anyways.

Bella's home was not too far down from Celia's. She just lived deeper into the woods, so it was an easy trip for me. I knocked lightly when she reached the small cottage home, hoping Bella would be awake. Fortunately, Bella opened the door right away.

"Hey, girl! You coming to Glitz's party? Thought I'd stop by just in case so we could leave out for the train together!" Bella sucked her teeth.

"Abohaty the last group of ponies I want to be surrounded by is Glitz and his friends. I don't really like house parties and you know that." I sighed.

"Okay, yes I did know that, I just didn't wanna leave anypony out." Bella laughed a bit.

"Trust me, Abohaty, I get all the invitations you ponies send to me. Kelsey and Written Script would probably go, so I think you'll be fine." I nodded slightly. "Well, I have to get going. I was trying to get some rest. See you some other day!" Bella shut the door before I could say anything in return. It wasn't terrible that everypony didn't want to go, but I was sure that I'd take the train with at least Celia. I hadn't seen any of her friends since the gala, so it was possible between now and then something came up. I didn't find anything off about Bella because I expected her to say no. But Celia? She loved parties just as much as Kelsey.

Since it was close to six, I started heading towards the train station by myself. I could always just fly or even try teleporting myself to Glitz's place, but I enjoyed taking short train rides. Looking at nature out of the window, chatting with other ponies, and eating the train food the workers give out. Besides, I was already early and there was no need to be any earlier. Once I was on board the train, I took a seat by the window and began smiling in excitement.

No Pony's P.O.V

It didn't take long for the train to arrive at the center of Canterlot. Abohaty never told Glitz or his brother that she was coming early because she wanted to surprise him. She couldn't wait any longer so she teleported to the front of the brothers' home and knocked. Grammar opened the door and smiled big.

"Abohaty! My second favorite pony in the entire universe!!" he shouted. The princess laughed and walked inside.

"Who's your first favorite pony?" Grammar raised his eyebrow.

"Is that a trick question? Kelsey, duh!"

"Oh! Is Kelsey coming over?" the alicorn asked, remembering Celia.

"Well unless she canceled out, but I believe she's still coming. Did she say she wasn't coming anymore?"

"Well, no but Celia said she wasn't coming and I think it's because Kelsey is, which is kind of confusing because they seemed to be pretty great friends," Abohaty explained.

"Oh no? They're fighting? That sucks. Surprised Kelsey hasn't ranted to me about it yet. She usually always does." Abohaty frowned. She supposed she'd have to see when Kelsey arrives. Glitz walked into the room holding supplies in the saddle bags wrapped around him.

"Abohaty! You made it!!" Abohaty used her magic to remove the party supplies from the bag and started decorating herself.

"Yup! I tried to get Bella and Celia out of the house but neither of them would budge."

"That's okay, most ponies I asked said they were coming. They're mainly just a mixture of old friends and some of yours!" Abohaty smiled.

"That's perfect! Are these the last things you have to set up?"

"Nope! Still have to get the games ready. But everything else like food and music and ninety percent of the decorations are finished. Grammar didn't help me at al-"

"Hey! I did so help you! I tried out the food to ensure our guests don't get poisoned or something. I think about the guests unlike you!" Abohaty laughed.

"That's...that's very sweet of you Grammar."

Ponies started coming inside around the time they were supposed to and the house became louder with voices overtop of music. Abohaty was hanging around Gabe, Written Script and Grammar outside. Both Written Script and Gabe had started dating since they danced at the gala. They were explaining and laughing how Written Script used to act previously before he knew her feelings for him.

"Now that we're together, I feel like everything I've ever done was for nothing!" Written Script laughed. "Like I was so nervous for nothing!" Abohaty rolled her eyes and nudged her friend.

"This is what we've been trying to tell you, girl!" Gabe chuckled and put down his drink.

"Enough about us though, how are you, Princess?" Abohaty smiled at the blonde warmly before saying,

"Yeah, I'm doing fine...somewhat."

"I get that, Glitz told me you've been training like crazy." Grammar empathized. "Is there a war coming up or something?" The princess shook her head rapidly.

"What? No, no of course not. Everything is under control by us, trust me."

"Hey, guys!" A yellow-coated mare popped up beside Grammar with a big smile on their face. "Sorry I'm late, my mom asked me to do something before I left and it took longer than expected." Abohaty raised her eyebrow in confusion but didn't question it further when she saw other mares across the road. Her mother was chatting with Twilight who brought her daughter along as well. Bookworm didn't seem like she was gonna come over to greet us at all. That was something that made her build questions in her head. Abohaty immediately pulled Kelsey to the side and began talking to her in a whisper.

"Your mom came? And brought Twilight?" Kelsey shrugged her hooves in annoyance, something Abohaty hadn't seen before from her.

"I don't know why my mom brought Twilight and Bookworm! I have nothing to do with anything!" When she noticed Abohaty's shocked face, she frowned. "Oh god, I'm sorry. I don't mean to take my anger out on you." Abohaty's eyes were saddened because that possibly meant that Celia and her got into some sort of dissension. At least that's what she assumed from putting two and two together.

"Is...everything alright?" the princess asked out of concern.

"Yeah, I'm just a little stressed out. Apparently, something is going on with the mane six, and my mom is taking her anger out on me, and I don't know what else to do. My mom is never like this and her being angry is making my life more stressful than it already is!" Seeing Kelsey reaching her breaking point made her feel a certain type of way. When she looked up, she saw Twilight and Pinkie Pie walking over towards her.

"Hello Princess Abohaty, I need to speak to you about something important," the purple haired mare said sternly. She looked down at Kelsey and then back at Pinkie Pie. "Could you two give us a moment?" Once they left, Abohaty began talking.

"You seriously thought now was a perfect time to catch me? "

"Princess, you already know that you are extremely hard to reach-"

"But really? At a house party?" Twilight ignored her last comment and went back to talking about the topic she's been meaning to speak with her about.

She teleported both herself and Abohaty back to her kingdom. "You have to be kidding me..." Abohaty muttered.

"When were you all going to tell us about Queen Amirah's return?" This made Abohaty panic because she didn't remember informing Twilight about anything. Nom Nom seemed certain that she didn't want to inform anypony of the situation just yet.

"What are you talking about?" she responded back, pretending to be shocked.

"Don't play innocent with me Princess, I do not like playing those little games with you when it comes to a serious situation like this!" Abohaty kept her lips sealed and let Twilight continue on. "That should've been your first step Abohaty! You know us princesses have much more experience and power and we can help you guys out."

"Where did you hear this from?" The pink coated mare asked quietly.

"Queen Amirah herself came to Sugar Cube Corner and threatened Pinkie Pie!" Abohaty raised an eyebrow.

"Twilight, that's extremely random."

"Exactly! Apparently Amirah wants something to do with the shop, so they have to evacuate."

"Where are they staying now?"

"So far, I've had Pinkie, Cheese Cake and Kelsey all stay at my place. I'm moving them and everypony else to Apple Jack's barn soon because my kingdom is likely one of her next targets. And Apple Jack does have one of the biggest places to stay at," explained Twilight.

"Do they know that yet?"

"Not yet, I haven't been able to get a hold of Apple Jack. But when I do, they'll all stay at Sweet Apple Acres until I inform everypony else. Celestia and Luna have been notified." Abohaty's eyes widened. "Enjoy this day as much as you can. I can imagine that you'll be quite busy from now on." Twilight teleported Abohaty back to where she was originally and her friends came running over towards her, including Glitz.

"That wasn't long at all!" Kelsey squealed. Abohaty rubbed her head, trying to bring back her consciousness. Around her was Kelsey, Gabe, Written Script, Grammar and Glitz looking down at her.

"What was so important that she had to steal you away from us?" Written Script asked.

"I literally was watching Kelsey and Abohaty talk, blinked and boom! She disappeared!" Grammar exaggerated. Glitz didn't say anything because the look on his friend's face never changed. He could tell that something was wrong.

"Is everything okay?" He spoke softly. Abohaty lifted her head up and gave him a smile, indicating that she was fine. When really she was not. It would seem suspicious if she immediately left the party when she just arrived. But she had to inform Nom Nom that the other princesses know and that Queen Amirah is already here. "Abohaty?" The princess snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the stallion standing above her in worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Something came up, that's all." This made Glitz slightly panic.

"Wait, should I return to Springfields with you?!" Abohaty shook her head.

"No, no, no. None of that's necessary. We got it all under control." She placed her hoof around him. "For now, let's enjoy our day off! Might not get one of these until a while now."
