A week had passed after the six ponies and Spike had went to the Crystal Empire. Princess Celestia flew to Saddle Arabia the day Trixie had arrived in Ponyville.

"I'm going to Saddle Arabia this morning, so see you at Trixie's show tonight." Princess Celestia said as she wrote a letter to Twilight in her room in Canterlot.

The princess flew over Froggy Bottom Bog that sunny summer morning.
