Rarity were reading a book in the sun on an early summer morning after the PInkie Pie clones.

"I thought that clones only was fiction told to school fillies." Rarity told herself.

The pony was by herself in a quiet Ponyville park with a view to the small villages by the Unicorn Range. Rarity read about the mirror pond.

"Decades ago Starswirl the Bearded had found a mirror pond under the Everfree Forest, and there were rare glowing flowers and mushrooms." Rarity read.

"Starswirl the Bearded did not know the pond had been cursed by the witch in the forest, and he got so many clones of himself that made a book about how to stop them." the unicorn pony was reading.

Rarity saw pictures of how the Changeling queen had made an army of herself with the mirror pond.

"Tourists was running away from Everfree Forest for years ago, as there were clones of Changelings and other monsters." the pony read.

"Before the curse of the forest had tourists arrived in Everfree Forest to take a bath in that pond, and study the many rare animals and flowers every summer." Rarity was reading.

Later that day had Rarity in her fancy Canterlot dress met with Fancypants and a mouse in a garden in one of the many Ponyville backstreets. Rarity got a big, shiny and inflated apple by Twilight by a cafe.

"Hey Fancypants long time no see." the unicorn pony told Fancypants and smiled.

"But hey that must be Rarity, and we had not seen each other since Twilight's Birthday in Ponyville." Fancypants told Rarity.
