This is an interlude:It takes place between Book I (here), and Book II (not out yet).

This first chapter isn't really a story, but a collection of friendship lessons, expanding upon the brief messages we got at the end of each episode.

Part 1-The Ticket Master

''Dear Princess Celestia:As anyone would know, sharing your blessings is always something you should do, and it brings friends together:But today, I've learned what happens when there isn't enough for everypony. Some ponies having more than others only leads to jealousy and feeling left out to those who have less, and sorrow for those who couldn't come with them to fortune to those who have more. While being at the Gala is nice, without our friends with us, it just isn't the same-And it's even worse for those we leave behind. Therefore, I have decided that if not everypony can go to the Gala, then I won't either-None of us will. Because of this, while I appreciate the invitation, I am returning both tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala:If my friends can't all go, then I don't want to go either.

Your faithful student:Twilight Sparkle''
