Applejack and Rarity entered the throne room together. They were the last of their friends to arrive, while the rest were already seated in their respective thrones around the Cutie Map. Fluttershy gave the two a gentle, welcoming smile. Pinkie Pie poked herself around the corner of her chair, and gave a big wave of her hooves, motioning for Rarity to sit next to her (as if she had any other choice). Rainbow Dash was impatiently tapping a hoof on the armrest of her throne, looking as if she were trying to mentally push the two of them to move faster. Twilight sat straighter and acknowledged her friends arrival with a nod of her head to each of them as they took their seats.
