"Twilight, I don't think that's a good idea!" Spike said urgently as he ran after Twilight.
No, Twilight's mood has not improved at all on the thought of spending the rest of the night with dignitaries and other important people.
"Spike, we'll just show up for a moment and then go back upstairs. I really need my rest after such a day! Or night! Or whatever!" said Twilight annoyed. "So the servants said in the palace garden, right? Well, where is it? It is completely new to me that there is one at all."
"Well, you've been in the arena and in your room most of the time," Spike replied, "I know where he is and we're on the right track, it's behind this gate."
The duo stopped in front of the heavy wooden gate. The guests could be heard through the gate. Twilight took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally. Then she opened the gate with her magic.
Twilight and Spike glanced at a giant ice sculpture of Twilight Moon standing high on the defeated Shining Armor. Only then did the Two realize the many guests in the garden.
"Isn't she overdoing this a bit?" Spike looked questioningly at Twilight. "Yes, no doubt!" Twilight said with an eyecup. "Look how many guests are here! How could they all come in such a short time?!? "
As if on command, a speaker stood on a small podium on the other side of the garden. "Dear guests, I present you, Lady Ember from the Dragonlands."
The guests started to clap, even if nothing seemed to happen. Then one of Nightmare Moon's magicians teleported on the pedestal and Lady Ember appeared shortly thereafter. A very petite dragon noticed Twilight. Barely bigger than a pony and anything else about her did not remind her much of a huge, fearsome dragon. But her instincts seemingly made up for that because she spotted Twilight instantly. "Princess Twilight Moon! It's my privilege to meet you in person." Ember bowed low in her direction as the other guests turned to look at her, some following Ember's example and bowed, and many others gathered around them in a matter of seconds, congratulating her and thanked her right away. But before Twilight could say anything, she heard the gate opening behind her.
Twilight turned around as the ponies around her quieted and gazed to the stairs, but she never saw this coming!
Nightmare Moon stood before her with a radiant smile, without her armor and in a silver ball dress?!?
