When Celestia decided to send the CMC six tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. She did it hoping that the three fillies would invite some friends to “liven the night up a bit”… Fate had a different idea.
Thanks to those tickets and the three fillies desire to do something nice for their friends. Princess Celestia and her nephew, the infamous prince Blueblood, will meet two creatures who managed to make their way into the hearts of the two royals. Gabby the griffon and Zecora the zebra.
IMPORTANT: Because of life and scholl shenanigans, this fic will periodically update, don’t worry I WILL FINISH IT, just don’t expect a very consistent update schedule.
NOTE: Because I’m completely unable to rhyme in my own native language let alone English, Zecoa will speak with the same speech pattern as Yoda from Star Wars (not all the time thought as not even Yoda talks talks that way all the time).
Please understand that this is not me being lazy, it is just that I would rather tell the story I want even though it's not in an ideal way. (if you have more doubts about this please check the writer’s note in the bonus for Chapter I).
Takes place after the events of Season 8 and “The Best Gift Ever.” The events of Season 9 aren’t canon for this fic.
Big thanks to everyone in the FiMFiction discord server for helping me with some edits as well as my nonsense regarding this fic for the last half of the year

I apologise for any grammatical mistakes, I’m not a native English speaker

Well whose fault was that during season 1 finale huh Prince Blueblood you didn't help your situation by acting like that
Solution holiday

I actually read a story with the same concept before that had Zecora asking Rarity for a dress for the gala and she was going with Blueblood, but that never went beyond one chapter. I'm actually interested to see how Blueblood defies everypony's expectations and settles for a hermit zebra shaman. Especially Rarity's reaction to it.
But to pair Celestia with Gabby of all characters? That really surprised me. I just assumed that if somecreature would catch Celestia's eyes, it would have been someone older. But I guess with the whole immortality thing, it's best to pick your lover young to have as much time with them as possible.
Be looking forward to more of this.
So it looks like the grand Galloping Gala is here once again and everybody is pretty excited to go there so the main six young six and cmc are try to invite the plus one to the gala by they're having a little trouble who to invite but it looks like everybody figure it out so the Cutie Mark Crusaders invited Miss Cheerilee and Zecora and Gabby and apparently gilda is invited as well I'm assuming that Rainbow dash invited her since they are friends again and of course it's always nice to see Rarity to help with the dress for a friend or pretty much any clients but so that's pretty cool anyway this is a pretty interesting so far although I did see a couple of few words kind of misspelled but other than that I am pretty interested how this will go can't wait

Nice addition to Zecora rhyming speech of hers which we liked about her

Well, just like Celestia he has his own reasons to have a distaste for gala. I already hinted as to why in this chapter but in the next one it will become clearer as to why

Perfect summery of this chapter (you are right about Gilda, indeed she was invited by Dash). As to mistakes I will soon make a post in “Looking for editors” to get that fixed.
Thx for letting me know that you are interested in the story, hopefully I can get the next chapter out soon~ish ™

Remember that all the credit for the rhyming goes to Rego, you should probably check his stuff, its quite good.
Keep in mind that this will probably be the exception and that is very likely that this might be the only chapter in where Zecora rhymes
