"How the hay do I know if this is on or not? Uh, Spike, get ov- wait, what does this light mean? Uh, guys, will somepony help me? Hey, Rarity, you're good with techy stuff- no, you're not? Well, any idea what this light means? Does anypony know how to work this thing?"

A young sounding male voice spoke from behind the filly. "Uh, Twilight, I think that light means it's on."

Twilight was visibly pleased by this. She smiled, then flipped the camera around and pointed it upside down at a baby dragon.

"Thanks Spike! I'm not very... oops," She moved the camera to its correct angle. "Not very good with cameras, heh."

Twilight, along with her camera, moved about the hallway, till she came to a door. Placing her hoof on it, the unicorn pushed open the door and looked into a large room, filled to the brim with ponies.

Some occupied themselves with conversation or dancing, while others seemed mesmerized by the enormous table full of food, filling plates with as many exotic items as possible.

A cyan hued Pegasus walked towards the Twilight.

"There you guys are! Geez, for a second I thought my best friends were gonna bail on the party! Where were you?"

A southern accent, out of the recording device's view, spoke up. "Sorry sugarcube, we was just pickin' up your gift, and traffic was slower than harvestin' a whole nest ah chickens."

'Sugarcube' laughed. "Uh, Applejack, that doesn't make any sense. Whatever, I'm just siked you guys are here! This farewell party is so awesome!"

"We certainly couldn't have let you go off without a goodbye, darling! It would be terribly rude!" A white unicorn stepped forward and gave Sugarcube a little nose to nose rub. "We'll miss you so much, Rainbow!"

"You guys are acting like I'll be gone forever! I'll still be able to visit weekly!"

The southern pony smiled. "But Rainbow, y'all be gone for days on end when yous goes on a tour! 'Course we're sad to see you go!"

Rainbow smirked. "As you would say Applejack, 'well shucks'. Anyway, get on inside. The sound is leaking out with the door open and all, and Vinyl's tenants won't like that.

Four friends of the Rainbow one stepped into the room, which turned to six as Twilight turned around, giving the camera sight of an obviously nervous yellow Pegasus, and a pink pony with the opposite demeanor. The camera was shoved down for a second as the purple unicorn removed her coat and hung it on a nearby pole.

"A bit chilly out there. Wow Pinkie Pie, your parties are always awesome, but this one tops them all. How did you convince Vinyl to let you use her place?"

Pinkie Pie bounced in front of the camera, her attention fixed on a DJ pony.

"Well, me and Vinyl like knew each other and stuff and I introduced her to Rainbow and they became good friends and stuff and we hung out sometimes so when Rainbow told us we decided we totally needed to have the awesomest party in all history of everything so we got to work and I simply EMPTIED by pockets and oh my god Twilight we spent weeks secretly planning and handing out invitations and stuff and it was so much work and-"

"OKAY! I get it Pinkie! Ha! Now, I should probably get around and socialize a bit."

Twilight shut off the camera, and walked on towards a group of guests.

Twilight walked over to a green unicorn, camera in hand, which was enjoying a snack with another pony. "Hey, Lyra, Bon-Bon! I'm doing some testimonials for Rainbow Dash, you guys wanna say something? Maybe good luck with the Wonderbolts?"

Lyra turned towards Twilight, annoyed that her meal was being interrupted. "Yeah, I guess."

The mare cleared her throat and looked right into the camera: "Hey Rainbow! Just a little good luck from me and Bon-Bon! I hope everything goes well with you and the Wonderbolts. We'll miss you in Ponyville; you were simply the BEST weather patrolwoman of all time."

Twilight walked away from the two, knowing they wanted their privacy. Fluttershy passed in front of the camera, and Twilight called for her.

"Oh, um, yes Twilight?" The mare turned around to face Twilight.

"I was wondering if you had a few words for Rainbow! You know, a goodbye?"

"Oh dear. Um, yes. Dash, we'll miss you as whole lot. I mean, you were so helpful with herding the animals and all. But, I don't mean to worry you! I'll do just fine. It's just, you are so great. Oh, what will we do without you? I mean, don't feel guilty or anything, that won't be good. It's just, I love you. As-as sisters, not that way."

Twilight gave a short laugh, and patted Fluttershy on the head. The Pegasus continued on her way, and Twilight Sparkle decided to find another interviewee.

She turned to center room, where a variety of flamboyantly colored ponies danced around. A cliché disco ball hung overhead, and the place was dimly lit by a half dozen red, green and blue lights. The famous (Or in some cases infamous, though that is another story) Vinyl Scratch stood atop a large stage, mixing beats from hip-hop artists. While one pony, Octavia, seemed upset with the music choice, the others appeared perfectly content.

Twilight did not want to interrupt of the dancers, as she herself earlier had found how fun it was, so instead she found a certain pink pony, having a conversation with the clutzy Derpy Hooves.

"Hey, uh, Pinkie. I don't mean to interrupt you, but-"

Before Twilight could finish her sentence, a low, loud grow shook the room. SO hard, in fact, Vinyl's records were stopped. Everypony stopped what they were doing, and aside from a few sirens and some outdoor screams, an eerie quiet filled the room.

The door from where Scootaloo and Sweetie were waiting for their friend Apple Bloom opened, and a shaken filly broke the silence.

"What was that?"
