*at Canterlot Castle Twilight, Dusk, Spike and Barbra are talking with Celestia and Solaris while Luna, Artemis, Discord, Eris, Sunset, and Glare are calmly listening*
Twilight/Dusk- *to Celestia and Solaris calmly* Princess Celestia and Prince Solaris, we have an idea for your ones-versery
Celestia/Solaris- *confused* *looks at each other* Our ones-versery?
Luna/Artemis/Discord/Eris/Sunset/Glare- *looks at each other in confusion*
Twilight/Dusk- *calmly* The one thousandth, one hundred and eleven year anniversary when you two first raised the sun.
Spike- *with a basket of fruit* Good thing Pinkie Pie And Bubble Berry reminded us or we would've forgotten to celebrate.
Celestia/Solaris- *admits* You're not the only ones. *smiles calmly* What did you have in mind?
Barbra- *to Luna and Artemis* Hey, why didn't you guys celebrate?
*everyone looks around awkwardly with their ears flat*
Barbra- *realizes* Oh...*her scales flatten* Sorry
Luna- *smiles calmly* That's quite alright dear Barbra.
Artemis- *nods* (Although it would be nice to get recognition for our first time raising the moon...)
Twilight- *smiles* To commemorate your first sunrise we've written a play and would like to perform it at our School of Friendship...
Dusk- *hopeful* If you two do mind.
Celestia/Solaris- *laughs excitedly and trots in place happily* *looks at them happily* Mind? Of course not!! *leaps from the throne and starts prancing happily* We think a play is a fantastic idea!!!
Discord/Eris/Sunset/Glare/Luna/Artemis/Twilight/Dusk- *looks at their behavior in shock*
Spike/Barbra- *looks at Twilight and Dusk* Did they just prance?
Celestia/Solaris- *stops prancing in embarrassment* Forgive us for being so excited.
Celestia- *calmly* It's just ever since we were fillies and colts our friends often put on plays. *sighs calmly* It was so wonderful.
Solaris- *next to Celestia calmly smiling* Everypony coming together to share a magical experience with others.
Both- *to Twilight and Dusk* We've always believed that theatre brings out the best in us and forges a special bond of friendship.
Twilight/Dusk- *excited* We didn't know you two use to act!!!
Sunset/Glare- *excitedly next to Twilight and Dusk* When was this!!!
Luna/Artemis- *looks away smiling*
Discord/Eris- Ok!!! We're intrigued!!!
Celestia- *admits* Oh, not us. We were always too busy with our magic lessons to be apart of any plays ourselves.
Solaris- *smiles calmly* But still it's something we've always wished we could experience.
Twilight/Dusk- *thinks* *happily* And you both still could. Princess Celestia and Prince Solaris we would be honored if you two were the stars in our play.
Sunset/Glare- *smiles fade* What?!
Celestia/Solaris- *shocked*
Luna/Artemis- *leaning on Discord and Eris happily* (PLEASE SAY YES!!)
Discord/Eris- *excitedly* PLEASE SAY YES!!!
Spike/Barbra- *shocked* What?!
Celestia/Solaris- *to them worriedly* You want us to star in your play?!
Spike/Barbra/Sunset/Glare- *looks at Twilight and Dusk* Yeah...when did that happen...
Twilight/Dusk- *levitates the four of them* If you'll excuse us...*walks away* *to them whispering* Don't you guys see, Celestia and Solaris have always wanted to be in a play and this ones about them.
Spike- *concerned* I guess. But how are we supposed to give them directions.
Barbra- *concerned* They're the rulers of Equestria.
Twilight- *smiles calmly* They're also our friends. Celestia and Solaris have always been kind to everypony, so if we have a chance to do something for them we should.
Dusk- *to Spike and Barbra* And we seem to recall two people reminding us that we're royalty too...*winks at them*
Spike/Barbra- *blushes sheepishly*
Sunset/Glare- *looks at them in concern*
*Celestia and Solaris quietly walk over and bends to their level in concern*
Twilight- *to Sunset and Glare* Come on. How many times have they helped us. Guided us. Been calming voices over our shoulders.
Celestia/Solaris- *calmly* Twilight.
*the six get startled and turns*
Twilight- *smiles* Yes, your highnesses.
Celestia- *smiles calmly* Your invitation is very kind, but are you sure that it's wise.
Solaris- *admits* We have no acting experience at all.
Discord/Eris- *shocked and looks at Luna and Artemis* Really?
Luna/Artemis- *smiling and nodding*
Dusk- *smiles calmly* You'll be playing yourselves. It would mean so much to the students.
Twilight- *smiles* Please?
Celestia/Solaris- *smiles calmly* Well...if you're both sure.
Twilight/Dusk- *grinning with wide eyes* *looks at Spike and Barbra calmly*
Spike/Barbra- *smiles* Yeah, what they said.
Sunset/Glare- *smiles calmly*
Celestia/Solaris- *happily* Then we would be delighted to join your theatre troupe.
Luna/Artemis- *smiles*
Discord/Eris- *grabs popcorn* This is going to be good!!!
