“A Friendship Festival?” Sunset asked as she waddled down the road with her two pony companions by her side.

Twilight nodded, eager to tell her more. “That’s right. Our first annual festival dedicated to the magic of friendship. We’re planning for it to be held shortly after our next Winter Wrap-Up.”

“But it is still in early in the planning stages for now,” Starlight remarked. “So we’re gonna have to get things started sooner rather than later.”

“We want to have everything planned out way ahead of time,” Twilight added with a touch of concern. “We should be prepared for just about anything. It’d be a shame if the festivities were suddenly halted because of some storm. Don’t know if you’re aware, but we do have a history of getting into quite a bit of trouble.” She chuckled nervously as Starlight just smiled and rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, I sorta figured.” Sunset shrugged, thinking back to her own adventures with them. From musical battles to magical mirrors to whatever was happening to her body right now, she’s been tagging along with a fair share of their problems. “But I’m sure it’ll be great! I’ll definitely try to be there. You know, as long as I don’t have a test to worry about that day.” She grinned embarrassingly, remember she still had high school to attend.

“It’s fine. We know how busy you must be,” Twilight smiled back.

“Yeah. As much as we’d love for you to make it, we totally understand if you can’t be here. At least then, we’ll have plenty of food to spare.” Starlight joked as she playfully elbowed Sunset’s massive gut, chuckling to herself.

“Hey, come on! Don’t say that,” Twilight scolded at her despite trying hold back her own laughter.

But as the two started laughing even harder, Sunset simply couldn’t help but follow suit, feeling her bulging body bounce along with her own belly-laughs. At her size, she had already felt like an outsider compared to the much smaller residents of Ponyville. And it didn’t help that being on her hooves for most of this trip left her feeling fatigued. So this moment of levity was something she really appreciated.

As the moment began to pass, however, Sunset decided now was as good a time as any to be a little cheeky with them. “You know what? While we’re on the topic my weight, wanna remind me how far along you are with fixing this whole mess?”

With that, the two ponies fell silent for moment, glancing at one another nervously before Twilight decided to speak up. “We’re still working on it.”

Sunset simply smirked with a raised brow as the others both tried to smile innocently.
