Princess Suncatcher gave her mane a satisfied toss and surveyed their long day's work. Every cottage, even the empty ones, were festooned with lights of all colors--blue, green, red, violet, indigo, orange, yellow...literally, all the colors of the rainbow. All of the pathways were staked with lanterns as well, so that even as sun's rim touched the hills, the villiage was bright. "You do have a knack for that." King Sigel smiled at his eldest daughter. In the town square, music began to play, the notes drifting through the houses and the gathering crowds. Refreshments were being set out, and once full dark fell, the Castle's lights would come on and rival the moon. "Brightness, before the dark..." Suncatcher sighed contentedly. "And again, after." Sigel nodded. "Well, let's find your mother and your siblings and join in, shall we?" OOC: Let's party!

Bella could hear the music starting and tugged at Canto, who grudgingly set down his book open to the right page and followed her out the door. Comet was over at Karma's and they were expecting to meet them at the Festival Eve.
Walking through the brilliantly lit neighborhoods to the center of the festivities, Bella and Canto happily greated other ponies. They knew most everyone by now, although new ponies still moved in occasionally.
(feeling stupid after last night, forgive me)

Forget-Me-Not spied the pair and waved shyly. Though older and a little bolder, FMN had not changed much over the years. The lavender flutter had a few magical lights woven into her loosely falling mane, and from the entirely natural light in her eyes, was quite excited about the holiday. "Hello Bella, Canto."

"Hello Forget-Me-Not!" Bella smiled cheerily and Canto gave a friendly nod.
"It is so beautiful every Festival Eve, to see the houses, and even the ponies in this case," she nodded at FMNs hair, "done up with the beautiful lights."
The Festival Eve was one of Bella's favorite times. Having grown up with it as their main festival (something Coursians did not do, so Canto didn't share her enthusiasm) she had learned not to take it for granted, especially with the new advent of the Guardian Stars. She had brought up her daughter with a love and high regard for both also, and was slightly disappointed her daughter would not be joining them this year, but they had promised to visit her the day after tommorrow - after the main celebrations.

Forget-Me-Not fairly beamed. "It's something Princess Starseeker found out how to do, and she was very nice and said I'd be pretty with it in my mane." She sighed. "Sun has such sweet, beautiful children. I kind of wish..." but FMN trailed off, then shook her head. "Anyway, it looks like it'll be a fun night..."
"Oh it will be!" Prince Kenaz walked up to them, giddy with joy. "There are pies and candies and doughtnuts and everything!" The white pegasus seemed to glow.

Music and light flooded the air around the cottages. It had only been a few short days since WolfWynd had found a home near Dream Castle. She was missing Flutter Valley desperately at times, and was still getting used to the variety of ponies that lived here in the village. Feeling a bit shy, yet wanting to get to know everyone, the crimson-haired flutter pony took to the sky and headed toward the main square.
She alighted near a group of ponies she didn't know, although one of them she had heard about back home. "Forget-Me-Not, I presume? My name is WolfWynd, and I am pleased to meet you." She then turned to the others. "It's very nice to meet all of you as well."

"Hello WolfWynd," Forget-Me-Not said, her voice gone suddenly soft with the appearance of a stranger. She was no less welcoming just...shy, once more. "Yes, I am Forget-Me-Not..."
Kenaz bounced up and down. "Hi WolfWynd! I'm Kenaz! You're a flutter like my mommy and Fem?" Fem was the nickname he'd had for Forget-Me-Not since he was little. "Wow, we don't have all that many flutters around here...other than mommy and Fem, there's Dragonrose, and Shadoweaver, but she left...oh, and Darkheart....but he hasn't been around for awhile either."

Bella laughed cherrily at Kenaz, before turning to the newcomer to the group. "Pleasure to meet you WolfWynd. I am Bella Hoofspen and this is my husband Canto." The sea green pegasus motioned towards the dark blue unicorn she was standing with. He gave a small bow and said his hello.
"I am guessing you come from Flutter Valley then?"

Quicksilver walked up behind the group of ponies, surprisingly quiet for one of his size. The brown Big Brother paused and then gave a sudden, wild yell...spraying silly string all over Prince Kenaz (and almost everyone else present, to a lesser degree). Laughing, he spun around on his heels and ran.
Forget-Me-Not spluttered, laughing weakly after her inital fright wore off. "Goodness! Always a silly one, that Quicksilver. Even now, with a grown daughter and all..."

"Hist, Kenaz. I hear your mother calling..." Sigel sought out his youngest and lightly nosed him. "Let's go to her." He nodded to the others present, and gave them a warm smile before turnign and herding Kenaz and Suncatcher away.

Lickety Split entered the festival. She couldn't wait to get up on stage and perform! She smiled happily.
Meanwhile, Flurry still sat on the rock. She sighed. She flittered up above the crowd. She then saw a pink pony with leg warmers and a headband on. Flurry guessed it was Lickety Split. She flittered over to her. "Hi there!" She said. Lickety Split smiled. "Hi there, little one. Who are you?" She asked the Windy Wing pony. Flurry smiled. "My name is Flurry!" She said with a smile. "And you must be Lickety Split." LS smiled. "Yup." She said. "Why are you wearing pink leg warmers and a pink headband?" Flurry asked LS. Lickety smiled. "I'm going to dance up on that stage over there." She replied, pointing to the stage. Flurry nodded. "Oh." She said.

LS looked around her. She then saw a clock and looked at the time. "Oh my, it's almost time for me to perform!" She ran backstage. Flurry smiled and sighed.

Lickety Split heard the announcer on the stage announce Lickety Split. Once she got the que to go onstage, Lickety Split ran onstage. She walked up to the microphone. "Ponies! I am Lickety Split, also known as the "Flash Pony" of Ponyland! I am here tonight to do my famous flash dance. So, get ready for some fun!" Lickety Split walked away from the microphone. The song "Flash Beagle" began to play. Lickety Split started dancing.

Lickety Split finished her dance. Everyone clapped and cheered. Flurry smiled and was up in the air. Lickety Split smiled back at Flurry. "Thank you everyone!" She shouted to the crowd. She jumped offstage and went towards the restroom. She looked in the mirror. She had sweat on her face. She took a towel and dried her face off.

Lickety Split left the restrooms. Flurry was flittering towards her. "That was great!" She said. Lickety Split smiled. "Thanks." She replied with a grin. ;D
