There was much hustle and frantic work in the many kitchens scattered throughout the palace. Though the first courses of the feast had already been prepared, many of the desserts could not be made too far in advance if they were to remain fresh till the end of the feast.
It was Lester Tossed, chef de partie and general gofer, who noticed something was amiss. Sent to retrieve the final load of ingredients the palace servants had brought in, he discovered that one of the carts was entirely empty! Though he panicked at the thought of what the sous-chef would say, and though he screamed at and demanded answers from the servants responsible for hauling, he was unable to turn up any leads.
Meanwhile, a number of small, buzzing orbs, of similar size and shape to the one slipped into the cart by Nightmare Moon, began to move through the castle, lured by the delicious aromas towards the main kitchen...

While Pinch was speaking to Luna, Carrot Top glanced around. She had never been inside the castle before. She never had the chance to be until today because she had never been to the gala. Although as she was gazing, she noticed something was missing. She didn't see Celestia anywhere.

Met once or twice? The pony looked familiar, but... It was unimportant. What mattered was that he had overheard Typewryter signaling Munin. He could become a problem... But for now, he would wait, and play along. He bowed to the princess.

Munin flew into the higher reaches of the castle through a window in the tower, and found princess Luna's room unlocked and open. "Too Easy!" she thought. All she had to do was find a key.... A key to the royal treasury, surely one of the princesses would have one? She began to search the room as thouroughly as a one pound bird can search a full sized room.

I wish Mint was here...Eh, well, I can probably manage to do something...

Nothing. The bird found nothing. This was unexpected, and the room looked as though it had been ransacked. It was only a matter of time before somepony saw it and raised an alarm... She had to move quickly, lest she ruin this for her master.

The siblings followed a good ways behind the other groups of ponies and eventually made their way into the castle themselves. Ami's jaw dropped and Coby's did in his mind. He wasn't one to show a whole lot of expression among those he did not know. "W-wow~ This is just like I had hoped! It's beautiful!" Ami exclaimed. Coby gave her a sidelong glance and sighed. "Indeed. It is quite lovely..." His ears flicked when the Princess spoke and he glanced over toward her voice. 'Ah, so this must be Princess Luna...' He thought to himself. 'About what I had expected.... She looks like she'd be more shy... But maybe it's just me..?' He shrugged the thought away and he and Ami both waited their turn to greet the Princess. Once their turn did roll around, he bowed his head and spoke softly. "It's a pleasure, Princess. My name is Cobalt Blaze and this is my sister..." "I'm Ami!" She threw in. Coby's eyes shifted toward her as he shot her a glare. "Yes... Please excuse my sister... She's a little energetic..." He forced her head down into a bow of sorts. "If you'll excuse us, we'll take our leave...."
Once they were further away he gave Ami a stern look. "Didn't I tell you to behave!?" "Y-yes... I'm sorry... I'm just excited is all..." He sighed. "I understand that, but please try to control yourself... We're new here and I'd like to make a good impression..." She gave a sad sigh. "Yes, Coby...." "Thank you... Now, let's go see what's up." He gave her a nudge and she smiled. "Okay!"
(OoC: If this doesn't really fit, let me know and I'll change it...)

She nodded to all the ponies who greeted her. Maybe I should try a song...? Nah, that would probably make them intimidated...Although, it could also put them at peace.

Pinch looked at Carrot Top before looking around the palace.
He recognized a few faces from Ponyville here and there, but the small crowd was mostly made up of VERY high class ponies. A few even shot unimpressed glares in the direction of the two before going about their business.
He turned back toward Carrot. "I don't think I've ever felt any more out of place than I am now. Look at all the ponies that are here right now! They couldn't get more high class if you dipped them in gold."

"I can't wait to see what's here at this feast! I bet there's going to be... oh wait... Aw man, I completely forgot about that. Sorry guys it looks like I can't make it this time, I just remembered I had to help Derpy on her overnight express deliveries. It's her turn to do the late night deliveries today and she asked me to help out. Sorry everypony, but I gotta go. Enjoy meeting Luna and Celestia's parents without me!"
Spike runs off before anypony can say anything
((OOC: Sorry guys but as much as I'd like to continue the RP, my mom is forcing me to go bed now due to summer school tomorrow. I'll check back on this thread at around 1 PM tomorrow here in California.))

Carrot Top was too nervous to say anything. She had jut noticed all of the looks she was getting from the high-class ponies after Pinch mentioned them. This was what she had feared, sticking out.

OOC: It's 12:52 am. here, and only three others seem to be on. I'll be back tomorrow between 2 and 3 p.m. Goodnight, and goodluck.

Arcel smiled, upon reaching the princess in line he bowed a second time, "Your majisty, it is an honor," he said, before moving on, keeping the intro short, that was the right thing, he thought at least. As he continued on to where most the other ponies where, he paused. There were ALOT more ponies then he had been anticipating. The illusion specialist pony swallowed nervously, taking every ounce of his concentration right now NOT to cast a fade into the crowd illusion on himself, which would have more or less rendered him invisable when surounded by other ponies... unless one were to touch him.
He was so focused in fact that he had stopped moving, standing just inside the entryway to the main area.

Coby over heard the other ponies talk about Social class and spoke to himself. "Social classes? Who cares, really..? We're all the same on the inside.... I may care about making a good impression, but not because I'm afraid of ponies with more money than me..." He then noticed that he had spoken a little -too- loudly and was being stared at by the group of snobbish ponies. Noticing this, he shrugged. "You can hate me out of petty vanity, but it wont change the fact I've made...." He then turned to Ami. "Now then, let's -really- go see what's up..." Ami smiled. "You know, you're right.... But more importantly, let's have fun! Let's go~" She sped off to the ball room where the sound of music could be heard. A classical piece, or so it sounded. "A-Ami..." He sighed and followed his energetic sister. "You could at least stay calm..."
