Chapter 13 A Night Of Glamour And Masks

We were all inside Mane Melody getting ready to go to a ball in Zephyr Heights call the Manesquerade Ball Pipp had yellow or golden eye shade as will as a golden streak running through her mane and just above her hooves her coat was golden her wings now had the colours white golden and her original purple Sunny had aqua green eye shade and her hooves were now light blue and yellow Izzy had green eye shade and her hooves were pink and green Zipp had pink and blue eyeshade with matched her mane as will as her hooves her wings hadn't changed I had my grey streak dyed into a royal blue streak along with my hooves my wings had stand the same but now shined bright Hitch had light red eye shade and aqua green and pink hooves he now was look for sticks to put on his hooves "Okay! So I saw this one look in the magic mirror that screamed "Sheriff on the Town"! Can you do the hoof-stars?" he asked Jazz "Only if you plan on showing them off on the dance floor tonight!" she said "This is going to be the best Manesquerade Ball ever!" said Pipp "I can't belizzle we're invited to the most glamouriffic event in Zephyr Heights!" cried Izzy "Just wait until everypony at the ball sees the unity dance I choreographed for us!" said Sunny "Uh, excuse me, Jazz? Can you do a glitter topcoat... on my horn?!" said Izzy "You know how we do!" said Jazz getting to work "My hoofness, Jazz! You've done it again!" said Rocky "It's everything!" looking at it in the mirror Rocky and Jazz were now fussing over Zipp's mane "Ugh. You don't really have to" she said to them "Of course we have to!" said Rocky "You're going to the Zephyr Heights Manesquerade Ball! Everypony that attends always looks beyond!" said Jazz "True, but shouldn't you two be getting ready, then?" asked Zipp "Us?" they questioned "Yes, you! You're inviiiiteeeed!" Pipp sang "I didn't know we were invited!" said Rocky "Neither did I!" said Jazz "What are we gonna wear?!" said Rocky "I don't know, but it's gotta be beyond!" said Jazz "Beyond beyond!" said Rocky "All right, selfie time!" I said we all bunch together and took a photo "Does this feel like too much?" Izzy asked us "Too much"? Iz, Iz, Iz, it's a big deal to be invited" said Pipp "Wow! I guess we're gonna need more glitter then!" said Izzy "How do we choose our looks?!" said Jazz in a panic "Easy! The only dress code is to wear what makes you feel fah-ncy" said Pipp "And you have to wear a mask" said Zipp putting on a half mask with match her cutie mark "Why?" asked Hitch "The Manesquerade is the place to see and be seen by ponies you can't recognize who don't know who they are seeing!" said Pipp "Because everypony loves a mystery!" said Zipp

(Opalines Dark Castle)

"I'm feeling rather generous today. So you are no longer grounded" Opaline told Misty "Seriously?! Thank you so much!" said Misty "Yes. I should be thanked. It's very impressive of me to trust you again" said Opaline "It is!" said Misty "But I also need to teach you a lesson" said Opaline Misty gulped "You're not coming with me. You need to stay here and watch the lair while I go back and snag that slippery Dragonstone" said Opaline "This feels like a test" said Misty "Maybe it is a test. But maybe I trust you. The fact that you need to think about it should inform how you act" said Opaline as she walked out the door "Yeah, this is definitely a test. So I should stay. Even though Opaline probably wouldn't know if I went to see my new friends. But she would say some mean things to me if she found out. Then again, my friends don't say mean things to me and I would like to see Xavier again so much" she then blushed "Why is every decision so hard?! I wonder what fun thing they're all doing right now" she said

outside the crystal Brighthouse we were getting ready to ride in the Mane Stream to Zephyr Heights "Don't forget your masks, everypony!" said Izzy Sunny had a top half mask with a sun on one side and swirls on the other in the middle stood a star Hitch and the same mask he had used when Sparky went missing Pipp had h glasses mask that was bright yellow and purple with a flower on one side I had a top half mask with half a sun and one side and a crescent moon on the other Zipp with a basket in her mouth hummed happily "What's your deal?" asked Pip "I'm bringing some snacks onboard. Why?" asked Zipp "You're happy. You're never happy when you're forced to do something. And you're usually especially unhappy about going to the Manesquerade Ball" said Pipp "That's because... Xavier and I are planning to do a little research on Alicorn magic in the palace library archives. In the secret section!" whispered Zipp "But that's off-limits!" Pipp gasped "She's the future Queen of Zephyr Heights and I'm the ruler of all of Equestria who's going to stop us?" I said join in "That sounds interesting!" came a voice we turned around and saw Misty walking up the road "Whoa! Misty!" cried Izzy jumping at her to give her a hug Misty gave a strained scream "What a fun surprise!" said Izzy breaking the hug "Where have you been? We missed you. We haven't seen you in forever" I said "I know. I had some stuff come up back at the lair" said Misty she then realized what she said the corrected herself "A-At home! I-I had stuff come up at home! I live at home in a house!" we all stood there "As must ponies do" I said "You know how it is. When you're trapped at home doing chores and it feels like you're grounded in a lair? Me, neither. Hey, look at that! Are you getting ready to go to a place?" said Misty changing the subject "Not just any place. We're going to the Manesquerade Ball!" laughed Sunny happily "The most glam night for Zephyr Heights!" said Pipp "But this year, we're invited!" I said "Wow, that sounds like a big deal" said Misty "Oh! Oh! Oh, I have an idea! Misty should come with us!" said Izzy "Yaaas! Misty, you will love it! It's... It's just... It's a total thing" said Pipp "You want me? To go with you? To a thing?" asked Misty " Come with us!" said Izzy "Wow. I've never been invited to a thing before. It sounds fancy. And full of ponies... who don't know me" said Misty ("There's that shyness she has") I thought "Nopony will know who anypony is! Because we all wear masks!" said Pipp "Well maybe not Xavier being the only Alicorn around" she finished "Oh. I don't have one of those. And I don't feel very fancy" said Misty "Leave that to us!" said Izzy and Pipp leading her inside the Brighthouse a little while later the remerged with Misty "Ta-daaaaaah!" they said Misty now had golden eye shaded a horn that had a yellow line moving up it and her hooves were yellow and pink she had a half mask that looked like a butterfly we cheered "So are you in?" asked Zipp "I'm in!" said Misty

"This is your first time flying in the Mane Stream isn't it?" I asked Misty she nodded "Ahhh... Isn't flying great?" asked Izzy "Watch this!" said Izzy putting her head out the window "I CAN TASTE THE WIND!" she screamed Misty looked down at Sparky "Hey there, Sparky. It's okay. I won't try to take you" she said "You what?" I said "N..n..nothing" she said "Are you two okay?" asked Izzy "I didn't do anything! I swear!" cried Misty "Okaaaay... Can you give us a minute, bud?" I asked Sparky Sparky got up and left "It's okay, Misty. I know what's going on with you" I said "You do?!" said Misty scared "It's as obvious as the horn on your head. You're... nervous!" I said "Oh! Oh, yeah. You got me. I'm nervous" she said "Well, you don't need to be. You just need to be you" said Izzy "Not exactly sure that ponies like it when I'm just being me" said Misty "Ha! Come on! Of course they do, Misty!" said Izzy "What if I do something awkward?" she asked "You won't. But even if you do, nopony will know it's you. Because of masks! "Oh, have you seen Izzy?" she said in a deep vice then changed back to her normal voice ["Now you try! Hmm... Hello there, stranger. If you see Misty, can you give her this charm bracelet I made for her? It has the cutie marks of her new friends on it" said Izzy "For me? I... Thank you" said Misty putting it on "Okay, everypony! I know you've all been waiting for me to teach you the moves for the unity dance I choreographed for us!" said Sunny "What's a unity dance?" asked Izzy and Misty "Seriously? It's on the group text" said Sunny Sunny the showed them the video of her doing the dance "Canter skip, double click" "Just imagine it. All three pony kinds dancing together in perfect unison at the grand hall of Zephyr Heights Palace!" said Sunny "Four Sunny all four Pony kinds" I said right sorry Sweetie" she said giving me a quick kiss "Wait you and Sunny are together?" asked Misty "Not just with her his also with me" said Pipp "How does that work?" asked Misty "As long as they love me as much as I love them they've agreed to share me" I exclaimed Misty decided to go back to the dance "I'm sorry, Sunny, but, um, I don't think I can perform in front of other ponies" said Misty "There's no reason to be shy. This dance is about everypony working together and supporting each other. And it's fun! Once we practice, you'll be fine" said Sunny they was a loud rumble as the Mane stream landed rumbling "Sorry still need to work on my landing" yelled Zipp "Zipp it's left lever down right lever up not left lever up right lever down" I said looked at the controls "But then we just jolt when we land" said Zipp "It's not suppose to jolt when we land you leave the brakes on" I said "You ready to rock this red carpet?" Pipp asked us we all cheered "Mask up, everypony!" we all put on are mask and headed for the door "Wait! We need to rehearse! I-I can't do a unity dance by myself!" said Sunny "Skye Silver here at the grandest and glitziest Manesquerade Ball red carpet Zephyr Heights has ever seen. Isn't that right, Dazzle?" asked Skye "Yes, Skye. The first ZH ball to include all pony kinds of Equestria" said Dazzle they then saw rocky riff and Jazz hooves walking and called them over What an historic event "Hi. Dazzle Feather, ZBS Tonight. What are you wearing, and who are you really?" said Dazzle "Only the best" said Jazz "And wouldn't you like to know?" said rocky "So true! I would like to know!" said Dazzle we then saw Queen Haven with two guards in tow along with Cloudpuff land with masks on "How amazing is this, Cloudpuff? Thanks to the masks, nopony knows who I am!" she giggled "Excuse us, Your Majesty. May we ask a few questions for the red carpet?" asked Skye "Why are you bowing and calling me "Your Majesty"? I'm sorry, but I don't appreciate you assuming" said Haven "Oh, I'm so sorry, Queen. I mean, whoever you are. It's just so hard to tell who is who with everypony wearing masks" said Dazzle "You said it, Dazzle. I'm sure everypony at the ball will be asking, "Who is this mysterious, stunning mare?" said Skye "What is she doing?" asked Sunny "Ugh. Mom does this at the ball every year" said Pipp "If she lost the guards and Cloudpuff then just maybe nopony would know but not this" I said "Okay, team! Showtime!" said Pipp we were then getting snapped by many camera's Pipp was reviling in it posing for photos i grabbed her and pushed her along "Come on" I said Misty nervous as hell trot back and hide behind Zipp "You mind if I trot back here with you so I'm in not any pictures?" she asked Zipp "Why don't you want to be photographed?" asked Zipp "Uhhh, the same reason as you?" she said "Hmm! Can't argue with that!" said Zipp
