*at the Castle Of Friendship in the throne room, Applejack, AJ, Fluttershy, Butterscotch, Twilight, and Dusk are by the map*
Twilight: *happily* I can't believe you four are going on a friendship quest! This is amazing!
Applejack: *confused* What do you mean, Twilight?
AJ- *confused* We've all been on one together before.
Dusk: *nods* Exactly! This is the first time the map has teamed up the same ponies for a second quest!
Fluttershy: That is special.
Butterscotch- *nods*
Applejack: Heh. Must be 'cause we're extra good at solvin' friendship problems. *winks*
Twilight Sparkle: *concerned* Hopefully so, 'cause it looks like this one might be a little tricky.
Dusk- *serious* You're all going to the Peaks of Peril.
Fluttershy/Butterscotch: *worried* The Peaks of... P-P-Peril?!
Applejack: *smirks* Aw, it's just a name.
AJ- *smirks* It doesn't mean anythin'.
Fluttershy/Butterscotch: *worried*Like how Cloudsdale is in the clouds and the Crystal Empire's made of crystal?
Applejack: *admits* Fair point. *to Twilight and Dusk* So, what can ya tell us about the place?
Twilight: Only what Rockhoof told us. Back in his day, nopony knew much about the Peaks of Peril except for the legend on this ancient shield.
*she holds up the shield with magic revealing two types of creatures*
Dusk- *calmly* *rotates it on the side with the light colored pony* It says a group called the Kirin used to live there, known for their kindness and truth-speaking.
Applejack: *to the others with a smirk* Now we know why the Map called us.
Twilight: *serious* Unfortunately, other creatures also lived there. The Nirik, fearsome beasts of pure fire.
Butterscotch- *notices* *to Twilight and Dusk* Hey, they kinda look like you two when you get mad *starts to worry* and your manes turns into fire and your eyes turn red and your coats turn white-
Twilight/Dusk- *sheepish* *clears throats* Anyway-
Fluttershy/Butterscotch: [shudders in fear] Maybe you two should go instead of us. [laughs nervously]
Dusk: *sincere* Sorry, Fluttershy and Butterscotch.
Twilight- *nods* Flanks don't lie.
Applejack: *comforts Fluttershy* Aw, I'm sure the four of us'll get that friendship problem solved, no matter what kind o' creature has it.
AJ- *smirks at Butterscotch* Yeah, we got nothin' to worry about...
Fluttershy/Butterscotch: [laughs nervously]
