* at the Castle of Friendship Twilight, Spike, Barbra, and Dusk look at the Cutie Map in shock as Twilight and Dusk's cutie mark floats around Canterlot Castle...along with Starlight and Stellar's cutie mark and two other sun cutie marks*
Twilight Sparkle: [strained gasping]
Dusk- *in shock*
Spike/Barbra- *looks in confusion*
Starlight Glimmer: *looks at Twilight and Dusk excitedly* I know! We can't believe it either!
Stellar- *looks at them excitedly* The map has never called us before!
Spike: *looks at them in concern* I'm sure that's not why they look... like that.
Twilight Sparkle: [calm] Actually, it is. Well, it's that and the fact that we're being called to the royal palace! I mean, what in Equestria could be going on there?! The map called all four of us for a reason! Though maybe it's a mistake. *looks at them nervously smiling* Not because of you two! Because it's never called another pony outside of the Elemental Bearers . [nervous chuckle]
Dusk- *puts a wing on Twilight's shoulder* *looks at them in concern* Twilight's right this has never happened before...*smiles* And it's not just one pair but two...
Starlight Glimmer: *looks at Twilight and Dusk in concern* I also wasn't nervous before, but now...
Stellar- *looks at them in concern* No pressure right...
Spike- *puzzled* *looks at Starlight and Stellar* My question is, I understand Twilight and Dusk being sent but...you two I mean no offense but with the map you guys don't have the best track record...
Barbra- Yeah I mean between using it to unintentionally destroy Equestria all because Sunburst and Sunstone got their cutie marks before you two, to temporarily fixing the map, to having it disappear- *sees Twilight and Dusk glaring at them* *looks down* Sorry...
Twilight Sparkle: *reassures them* Don't worry. For all we know, it's something small. Like maybe the cooks are fighting over who has the best butternut squash soup.
Dusk- *smiles calmly* Or the royal hairdressers are fighting over a comb.
Spike: *looks at Twilight and Dusk* Or, you know, maybe the royal brothers and sisters aren't seeing eye-to-eye on something.
Twilight Sparkle: *looks at them with a nervous grin* No! That's just crazy! Luna, Artemis,Celestia, and Solaris would never fight...again.
Dusk- *breathes* Not again...
Starlight/Stellar- *looks at each other in worry** realizes* Wait aren't those other two cutie marks Sunset and Glare's?
Twilight- *excitedly* Yes! The map also hasn't called anypony from a different dimension over here before!
Spike- *confused* If they're being called by the map...and your cutie marks glow on your flanks...then where do their's glow?
*everyone is quiet*
Twilight/Dusk- *in nervous unison* We'll be back...*heads to the portal*
*at Canterlot High at the statue*
Twilight- *concerned* They haven't responded yet?
Sunset- *concerned* No, not yet.
Fluttershy- *concerned* Does it hurt?
Glare- *admits* No, it's just...tingly or vibrating a lot...
*Sunset and Glare's cheeks are glowing and vibrating with their cutie marks on them*
Pinkie- *smiles* They really look like tattoos...
Bubble- *smiles* Glowing and vibrating tattoos...
Rarity- *marveled* They look gorgeous darlings!!!
Elusive- *smiles* They really go with your skin tones and your clothes and it matches the design on your shirts...
Sunset- *looks at them in concern* Well, the thing is back in Equestria these were...still are our cutie marks, but we don't know why they're suddenly appearing
Glare- *concerned* And it's not going away or they won't stop vibrating.
Dusk- *concerned* So you sent a message to Princess Twilight and Prince Dusk asking them about it?
Sunset/Glare- *looks through their journals* Yup...but no reply yet...
*the portal ripples causing Princess Twilight and Prince Dusk to step out*
Princess Twilight/Prince Dusk- *smiles as they see their friends* Hey, guys!!!
*the Humane 7 and Human Colt 7 look at sees Princess Twilight and Prince Dusk and runs towards them happily*
*they all share a group hug*
Applejack- *smiles* Sunset and Glare just wrote to you two about a minute ago
Princess Twilight- *notices Sunset and Glare's cheeks glowing with their cutie marks* *looks at her cheek which is glowing and vibrating with her cutie mark on it*...So that's where cutie marks go in this world...
Prince Dusk- *perplexed* Who knew...*looks at them* We possibly know why *points to their cutie marks* those are glowing like that...
Sunset/Glare- *hopeful* Really, why?
Princess Twilight/Prince Dusk- *smiles calmly* Let's just say we need your help...
*everyone looks at them in confusion*
Sunset/Glare- *concerned* With what?
*in the Canterlot throne room Celestia and Solaris are standing next to each other on the throne while Luna and Artemis are standing on the right side of them with bags under their eyes as they're looking at Twilight, Sunset, Glare, Dusk, Starlight, and Stellar*
Princess Celestia: *warmly* So the map sent all of you to solve a friendship problem?
Starlight Glimmer: Yes, princess.
Stellar- *nods*
Twilight/Dusk/Sunset/Glare- *nods with respect*
Solaris: Well, there's nothing wrong here. *looks at Luna and Artemis with a forced grin* Right, you two?
*Celestia, Luna, Solaris, and Artemis glare at each other*
Twilight/Dusk- *ears flatten in worry*
Sunset/Glare- *looks in concern*
Luna/Artemis: [sour unison ] No. Everything's perfect as usual...
*Sunset, Glare, Stellar And Starlight look in concern*
*Twilight and Dusk look in concern but then they lightly wince in pain and rubs their chests*
Twilight/Dusk- *blinks and shakes their heads and turns their attention back to the princes and princesses*
*in Celestia and Solaris' room behind a bookcase is a secret room that holds nothing but two glowing gems that match the jewels on their regalia*
*the purple and red gems crack slightly and dark purple magic pulsates from them*
