Megan’s Vacation

After a pleasant night's sleep in Appleloosa, Megan got dressed and got ready to leave town, only to be met by Braeburn.

"Heading out?" Braeburn asked.

"I am." Megan replied. "Before I made my way to the hotel, Applejack said that I should meet Twilight back in Ponyville. I don't know what she has in store for me today. But, I'll be ready."

Braeburn noticed something about the visitor. "I see you have on your pink and blue outfit from the past."

"I'm glad you noticed. I can't wait to see where I'm going today."

An hour later, the Friendshp Express arrived at Ponyville. As the passengers disembarked, Megan stepped out, and was met by the Mane Six.

"Hi, Megan!" Pinkie greeted. "Welcome back!"

"Thanks, Pinkie." Megan replied as she hugs the party pony. "Feels good to come back to Ponyville."

"We're all sure you're wondering where you're spending the day today." Rarity said happily.

"I sure am. What's today's destination?"

Twilight stepped up and gave Megan the answer. "Canterlot."

Megan's eyes widened. "Wow! Great choice, Twi. Maybe I can spend time with the princesses."

"That's a possibility." Megan strapped her backpack on Twilight's back. "Once I return, I'll take you to Canterlot. See you in a little bit."

Twilight heads into the sky towards the Rainbow Bridge. Megan is very excited as Pinkie gives her a treat.

"Muffin?" Pinkie blurted.

"Oh. Thank you." Megan said in return. She took one bite of the muffin, and is filled with joy. "Mmmm. Chocolate chip. One of my favorites."

One hour later, Megan was brought to Canterlot by Twilight Sparkle. Megan soon disembarked, and prepared for her day in this majestic city.

“Thanks, Twilight.” Megan praised as she gives Twilight a hug.

“You’re welcome.” Twilight replied as she gets ready to leave. “Have a good day.”

Megan smiles as she watches Twilight fly off. I sure hope so.

Admiring the scenery, Megan stops in front of a building.

The School for Gifted Unicorns. Megan thought. This is where Twilight began her studies. And, where she hatched a dragon. Thus, meeting her little friend, Spike.

Continuing her travels, Megan was waved over by Sassy Saddles, manager of Rarity’s Canterlot store, the Canterlot Carousel.

“Hi, Megan.” Sassy called out.

The young visitor made her way to see Sassy. “Hi, Sassy. Good to see you.”

Megan was then invited to come inside. As many ponies look around at the wonderful clothes, Sassy and Megan talked in Sassy’s office.

“What brings you here to Canterlot, my friend?” Sassy asked.

“This is day seven of my vacation here in Equestria.” Megan answered.

“Really? Wow! You spent a whole week in Equestria?”

“That’s right. Each day has been a fun experience for me.”

“Glad to hear that.”

Megan smiled knowing that Sassy is glad that she’s a friend to all ponies. As Megan steps out, she was met by Princess Celestia. She was pleasantly surprised.

“Princess Celestia.” Megan elegantly said as she bowed politely. "What brings you here?”

“I was told by Twilight Sparkle that you would visit Canterlot today.” Celestia answered. “I figured you would like to spend time with me and my sister in our castle.”

“The castle?” Megan’s eyes widened. “I would love to spend time with you.”

Celestia lead Megan into Canterlot Castle. The Royal guards stood at attention when the two figures entered. Megan got a little worried.

“I’m surprised your royal guards didn’t question my appearance.” Megan realized.

“As long as you’re with me,” Celestia explained, “nothing bad will happen to you. Besides, my guards heard your legendary tales.”

Megan started to relax. “That’s a relief.”

Soon, they enter the throne room. Megan was very impressed.

"Wow!" Megan said happily. "This is a great place for you and your sister to be."

"It is." Celestia said in return. "Would you like to sit with me?"

"Really? If you say so."

Celestia sits on her throne while Megan sits down on the throne Luna usually sits on.

"This feels amazing." Megan realized. "I feel like a princess myself."

Soon, Princess Luna enters the throne room, and sees her sister with the visitor.

"Hello, Tia." Luna greeted. "I see you're entertaining Megan today."

"Yes, I am." Celestia said. "Our friend is spending her vacation time in Equestria."

"Yes. Twilight told me about that. Is our guest having a good time?"

"I sure am." Megan answered. "I spent six days here so far. And, this is day seven."

Luna walked up to the sitting area. "That's good to hear. By the way, Megan. If you'd be so kind, please get out of my chair."

Not wanting to argue with the princess of the night, Megan stood up and walked down the stairs. Luna then sat down on her throne.

"We're having a special gathering here at the castle." Celestia informed. "We are celebrating the anniversary of the School of Friendship opening."

"Sounds like fun." Megan figured. "I hope Twilight's students, the Young Six, are going to be there."

"They are." Luna added. "After all, they're responsible for saving all of the magic of Equestria. And, we would like you to attend the festivities as well."

"It will be an honor to attend this event."

Celestia and Luna are pleased to hear that. Later that day, Twilight and her friends arrived at the castle for the celebration. They saw many ponies and other creatures celebrating the School of Friendship.

“This is quite the turnout.” Rarity said. “Even the tribe leaders are here.”

Rarity is right. Leaders like Griffon elder Gruff, Prince Ruthford, Ember, Queen Nova, and Thorax all arrived. After all, their representatives attend the school. At another area, Megan has a talk with the elegance Hoity Toity.

“Fine celebration.” Megan said elegantly. “Isn’t it?”

“It is indeed.” Hoity Toity replied. “Miss Sparkle must’ve known what she was doing when she opened that school.”

“I have to agree.” Another voice added.

That voice belonged to Chancellor Neighsay. Wearing his usual red outfit, he approached Hoity Toity and Megan. “We meet at last, Megan Williams. Princess Twilight told me all about you.”

Megan turned, and saw the elegant stallion. “Chancellor Neighsay. This is a surprise.”

“I’m sure it is. Ever since some of these students saved the magic of Equestria from being drained by miss Cozy Glow, I realized that the school is a good idea.”

Hoity Toity and Megan were happy to hear that. Later that night, Megan slipped into her short sleeve blue nightgown, and prepared for a good night’s sleep.

How fast did this week go? Megan wondered. It felt like yesterday that I came to Equestria to spend my vacation here. Now, here it is, one week later, and I visited many places. This will be one vacation I’ll never forget.

Climbing into the bed, Megan draped the blanket over her, and slowly fell asleep. This is the end of day seven.
