	The Summer Sun Celebration takes place at the town hall. As we walked in, Twilight rushed to my side."Me and the girls have a special surprise for you after the ceremony." she said, giggling. I became excited yet suspicious. In my past, the word "surprise" was not a good word. All of the other ponies made fun of me and pulled mean pranks on me because I was different. I've let that go. It was my chance to start a new life. She did represent one of the Elements of Harmony after all.
"And now, may I present, Princess Celestia!" annouced the mayor. The whole room filled with the sound of clapping and cheering. A huge curtain opened to reveal the princess. She was even more beautiful than she was in pictures! She spread out her wings and rose high into the sky. A bight circle of light shone down on us. Rainbow Dash was right. This was the best day ever. Little did I know, It was about to get better.
By the end of the ceremony, I had forgotten about what Twilight had said. "Come on Sunny! It's time for you're surprise!" called Pinkie. "This better be good." I thought to myself. She and the others led me to a golden door." Knock on it." said Rarity as she pushed me toward the door. I knocked on the door. The door opened and there stood a tall mare with a white coat and a glittering mane and tale. I couldn't believe my eyes! Princess Celestia was standing right in front of me! "Ah, you must be Sunny Daze." she said clamly."Y-Yes. I-I-I am." I said shyly. I wondered if Fluttershy had felt this scared the first time she had met the princess. She welcomed us into the room. 
"Twilight told me that you never met me before, so I decided to allow the seven of you told stay the weekend in the palace." she said. I was so excited! I couldn't believe I was going to spend the night in a castle with the princess! We all cheered. Then everyone started staring at me and the princess."What is it?" I said, worried. "You're cutie marks, their almost exactly the same." said Fluttershy. I looked at my flank, then at the princess. Her eyes were tearing up."Are you okay, princess?" I asked softly. "Oh, nothing." she said as she looked up."I was just thinking." That was a little weird. I set that thought aside. I needed to get home and pack. This weekend was going to be awesome!
