You look amazing, darling.
They've really captured

I suppose.
Don't be so modest.
It's everypony's dream to
someday wear a crown
and have their coronation
ceremony preserved
in stained glass
for all to see.
I don't know if it's
every pony's dream.
Most of my dreams
are about frosting.

We'd better get going.
We don't want to
miss our train.
Fluttershy's
right.
Don't know about y'all
but I've still got bushels
to do to get ready.
The official celebration
may be here in Canterlot
but whoo-wee! has the
Mayor put us in charge
of one heck of a
party back home.
Aw, don't look like
that, sugarcube.
You get to be right there
with the other princesses
when Celestia
raises the sun.
And I'm honored.
Really I am.
It's just that the
Summer Sun Celebration
is what first brought
us all together.
It just doesn't feel right
not getting to spend
such a special day with
my Ponyville friends.
It doesn't feel right
to us either, darling.
If the Mayor wasn't
so desperate
for our assistance,
we'd most certainly
stay here in Canterlot.
And of course we
do understand
that your royal duties
must come first.
The Summer Sun
Celebration
may have brought
us together,
but it's something
much bigger
that'll always
keep us connected.
Exhibit A.
The six of us are
united by the
Elements of Harmony.
No amount of "royal duties"
is gonna change that.
Right everypony?
Uh huh!
Mm hm.
Right, Pinkie Pie?
Creamy, creamy frosting.

You should take
that as a "yes".

PINKIE PIE: We're
going to write you
and give you so
many details,
it'll be like you're in
Ponyville with us!
Right, girls?
UNISON: Cross my heart
and hope to fly.
Stick a cupcake in my eye.
RARITY: And you
will be with us
right after the
celebration.
We already have an
appointment on the books
to discuss the royal
upgrades to your loft decor.

Your friend, Pinkie Pie.
PINKIE PIE: That's me!

I just know it.

Huh. What do you know?
We're way ahead

I credit your extremely

So do I.
The Celebration isn't
until the day
after tomorrow.
We could still fit in a
quick trip to Ponyville
and be back in
plenty of time
to finish off these last few
things before the main event.
(sigh)
That would be nice, Spike.
But what if something
else came up
while we were gone?
What if we were delayed
getting back
and I wasn't able to finish
everything on that list?
What if we lost the list
on the way to Ponyville
and then couldn't remember
which things we'd done
and which things
we hadn't done
and then spent so much
time trying to figure out
what we hadn't done

that we ruined the
entire celebration

really important thing
that we were supposed to do?

Your Highness!
No need for that now,
Princess Twilight.
Sorry.

No need

Sorry.
I must admit that it is
wonderful to actually
be looking forward to the
Summer Sun Celebration.
What do you mean?
For my subjects it has
always been a celebration
of my defeat of Nightmare
Moon, but for me?
(sigh)
It was just a
terrible reminder
that I'd had to
banish my own sister.
I guess I'd never really
thought about it that way.
But now it has become a
wonderful reminder
of her transformation
back into Princess Luna
and our happy reunion.
I am so pleased that you
will be playing a role
in the festivities.
I know it must have
been difficult
to see your friends return
to Ponyville without you.
Maybe a little.
You may no longer
be my student,
Princess Twilight,
but I hope you know that
I will always be here
if you need me.
Just as I hope that you
will always be there
when I need you.

I think this guy
needs you.
A message for
Princess Twilight.

A letter from
Ponyville, I presume?
Never mind.
It's not important.
