1. Time to rock with Sage Skunk

Author's Note

To kick things off, I’m pairing Sunset Shimmer with Sage Skunk.

1. Time to rock with Sage Skunk

Sunset Shimmer tries to relax by playing her guitar in her apartment. With news that citizens of Everwilde are visiting during the summer, she and her friends need to relax before meeting them. After practicing her guitar playing, Sunset turns off her amp, puts her guitar down, and grabs a bottle of water from her fridge.

“I still can’t believe that these animal folks are appearing all this summer.” Sunset said to herself. “I wonder if they’ll get used to our town.”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Sunset walks up and answers the door. She soon sees a young girl with light purple skin and black and white striped hair with the sides of her head shaved. She also has pointed ears and what looks like a black and white striped tail.

“Hi, Sunset Shimmer.” The girl greeted. “I’ve been hoping to meet you.”

Sunset’s eyes widened as she soon knows who it is.

“I don’t believe it.” Sunset gasped. “Sage Skunk!”

The girl known as Sage gives Sunset a big hug. The former baddie is so surprised to be greeted by her.

“What are you doing here?” Sunset wondered.

“I came to see you.” Sage replied. “You’re one of the most awesome girls I’ve ever heard of.”

“Me? I don’t know about that.” Sunset got a little nervous. “I have a very terrifying past.”

“You mean about being a bully and that Fall Formal Nightmare at your school?” Sage said, knowing Sunset still feels bad about it. “I heard of it. But, I don’t think about that. I only think about what you are today. You rose from that dark part of your past. And, you’re doing real well.”

Sunset teared up, knowing that Sage sees her as a kind person. She soon felt something rubbing on her leg. It turns out to be a skunk who looks friendly.

“You must be Sage’s bestie, Caper.” Sunset realized.

Caper nodded as Sunset sees Sage looking at her guitar.

“Cool ax!” Sage praised. “You must play really good.”

“You might say that.” Sunset replied. “Did I hear that you’re a rocker girl too?”

“You bet!”

“Well, maybe you and I can jam together someday.”

Soon, Sage pulls out a small gift wrapped box, and presents it to Sunset.

“For me?” Sunset wondered.

“For you.” Sage answered. “To establish a cool friendship.”

As soon as Sunset opened the box, it popped and showered her with confetti. Sage and Caper chuckled and gave each other a high five with their tails. Even Sunset giggled with them.

“That was a good one, Sage.” Sunset said happily. “I forgot, you’re a real prankster.”

“That’s right.” Sage replied. “Me and Caper are a couple of jokesters.”

Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Reminds me of a friend of mine.”

“You mean Pinkie Pie. Right?”

“Basically, yeah.”

Sunset and Sage sit on the couch as Sunset plays with her game system.

“I heard that you’re a gamer.” Sage figured.

“That’s right.” Sunset said back. “I even got Fluttershy interested in gaming.”

“Sounds awesome.” Then, Sage has an idea. “Hey, Sunset. Next time you and the Rainbooms have a performance, do you think I can join you guys?”

“Not a bad idea. My friends would love to meet you and Caper.”

Sage smiled as she continued to enjoy being with Sunset.

2. Camping with Raelin Raccoon

Fluttershy finished putting up her tent at her favorite camping site. The nature lover learned that it’s going to be a good night for camping. No rain forecasted, and skies very clear. Fluttershy leaned against a tree, enjoying the environment.

“I should thank Applejack for these clothes she got me for my birthday.” Fluttershy said to herself.

Fluttershy has on a long sleeve light teal shirt and a pair of bib overalls. Soon, she heard the voice of a young girl call to her. “Greetings, fellow nature lover.”

Fluttershy saw a light brown skinned girl with black makeup around her eyes. Purple hair in a long ponytail, and wore a lime green short sleeve shirt, brown hiking boots, and blue denim shorts. When she saw that this girl has pointed ears and a long thin tail, she realized who it is.

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy said with surprise. “Raelin Raccoon!”

The girl known as Raelin approached Fluttershy. “Hi, Fluttershy.”

“What are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked.

“Same thing you’re here. Spending a night in this lush forest.”

Fluttershy stood up and approached Raelin, still very surprised.

“I heard you’re a nature lover.” Fluttershy said. “But, I never thought I’d meet you.”

“I’m sure you aren’t.” Raelin replied. “Now that we’re together, my barefoot friend, we’ll have a good time together.” Raelin looked at her for a minute. “Hold on a sec.”

Raelin bent down and rolled up the cuffs of Fluttershy’s overalls. “Now you have a great farm girl look.”

“I never thought of that.” Fluttershy said. She then noticed something a miss. “Where are your little friends, Romy and Pester?”

Suddenly, a brown raccoon and purple raccoon came up and climbed up Fluttershy to say hello.

“There’s your answer.” Raelin said as she puts on an explorer hat. “Put on your footwear and let’s go exploring.”

After putting on her own boots, Fluttershy joined Raelin and her besties down a hiking trail. They watched animals at a safe distance. When they came up to a waterfall, they were all amazed.

“Not many people see a sight like this everyday.” Fluttershy said proudly.

“This is why you like nature, Fluttershy.” Raelin realized. “You don’t see sights like this in big cities.”

Fluttershy nodded as the two continued to enjoy the view. Later that night, Fluttershy looks at the star filled sky. She enjoys the full moon shining brightly. Raelin and her besties come along to join her.

“Quite a sight.” Raelin praises. “Isn’t it?”

“It sure is.” Fluttershy replied happily. “I’m pretty glad you’re with me tonight. Me and my friends were a little nervous when we heard of Everwilde citizens visiting our town for the summer.”

“Probably you didn’t know how we could interact with you guys. As this summer goes on, you’ll get used to us.”

Fluttershy agreed as she and her new friend continued to enjoy the night outdoors.

3. Baking Time with Petya Pig

Author's Note

Pinkie pays a visit to Sugarcube Corner. But, gets a shock when she meets Petya Pig.

3. Baking Time with Petya Pig

Pinkie Pie heard that there’s a bake sale going on at Sugarcube Corner. All proceeds go to help a summer camp that has seen better days. She went over to see Carrot Cake and Cup Cake, and to see how they’re doing.

“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Cake!” Pinkie greeted with her usual explosive personality.

“Pinkie.” Mrs. Cake replied. “What brings you here?”

“I’m just wondering how the sale is going.”

“It’s going great. My husband and his helper for the day receive the ingredients and finished products for the sale. The helper’s baking skills are quite exceptional.”

Soon, a young girl with light pink skin, dark pink hair, a dark pink nose, and a chef hat came out with a tray full of cookies.

“Here’s a new batch of cookies, Mrs. Cake.” The girl said happily. “A shipment of mini pies has just arrived.”

“Thanks, dearie.” Mrs. Cake replied.

The young girl soon sees the party girl, and greets her. “Hi, Pinkie. I was hoping to meet you.”

Pinkie sees the girl, and is shocked. “Petya Pig? I don’t believe it!”

“Believe it. It’s me!”

Soon, Carrot Cake comes out to see what’s going on.

“Pinkie.” Carrot Cake said. “I see you met my helper for the day.”

“I sure did.”

Carrot Cake then turns to his helper. “There’s a truck full of more baking supplies coming, Petya. Give me a hand?”

“Yes, Sir.” Petya said. “Can Pinkie help?”

“Good idea. She helped me before. Meet us in the back, Pinkie.”

At the back of the store, Pinkie helps Petya and Mr. Cake with the supplies. They bring in milk, flour, sugar, eggs, and other such ingredients.

“This sure is a lot of work.” Pinkie said while sitting down, taking a break.

“But, it’s going to be worth it.” Petya replied.

“Petya!” Carrot Cake called as he and two little pigs came out. “I think it’s time to feed Streusel and Nesha here.”

“Okay.” She pulls out a balloon shaped cookie and gives it to the party girl. “Here you are, Pinkie.”

As Petya heads over to feed her little besties, Pinkie enjoys the cookie she was given.

“Mmmm.” Pinkie hummed. “No wonder the bake sale is going well. Petya is one great baker!”

Later that day, Pinkie, Petya, and the Cakes look at the money that was made from the bake sale.

“Wow!” Pinkie cheered. “This will make the kids of that summer camp happy.”

“It sure will.” Mrs. Cake said. “And, we have Petya Pig to thank for her help.”

Petya blushed as Carrot Cake approached her. “You can help us anytime you come to town, Petya.”

Pinkie is very impressed with Petya’s baking skills. Now, she’s not that nervous about the citizens of Everwilde.

4. Keeping up with Cherish Cheetah

Author's Note

Here’s what many consider a good combination. Rainbow Dash and Cherish Cheetah.

4. Keeping up with Cherish Cheetah

At an athletic park, Rainbow Dash jogged around a track, leaving her geode in her duffle bag. As soon she stopped, she grabbed a bottle of water near her bag, and took a few sips. Soon, Spitfire came by to see one of her best teammates.

“Getting yourself ready for our upcoming game, Rainbow Dash?” Spitfire asked.

“You bet.” Rainbow answered. “I have been working out like crazy. Got to be ready.”

Suddenly, an orange blur zipped past them. This leaves Rainbow puzzled. “What was that?”

The blur came to a stop. It was a actually a girl with light orange skin with black spots, Cat ears, and a long tail. She wore a red short sleeve shirt, black spandex shorts, and white sneakers.

“I should’ve known you’d make an appearance, Cherish.” Spitfire said.

“Opportunity knocks,” The girl named Cherish replied, “who am I not to answer?”

Rainbow Dash was surprised to see the conversation. “Spitfire, you know Cherish Cheetah?”

“That’s right.” Spitfire answered. “I’ve always been interested in the people of Everwilde. Including those from Grazy Grasslands.”

“You must be Rainbow Dash.” Cherish said happily. “Spitfire told me all about you.”

“I never knew my reputation is known even in Everwilde.” Dash replied.

Later, two blurs zipped over to Rainbow Dash’s house. They turned out to be Rainbow and Cherish.

“Wow!” Rainbow cheered. “You’re as fast as me when I use my magic.”

“Cheetahs can travel up to 70 miles per hour.” Cherish informed. “And, I don’t need magic to be fast. By the way, you may want to check your duffle bag.”

Confused, Rainbow Dash opened her bag, and out popped a cheetah cub. It hopped into Rainbow Dash’s arms.

“Quick Quick!” Dash yelped. “How did you sneak in there?”

“While you were talking to Spitfire,” Cherish explained, “I snuck Quick Quick in, and closed the zipper just enough so it won’t cause claustrophobia.”

“Good enough for me.” Dash cuddled Quick Quick. “I have to admit. You’re kind of cute.”

Later, Rainbow Dash’s mother, Windy Whistles, can to her bedroom.

“Rainbow Dash,” Windy said, “did you know that there’s a girl and a baby cheetah in the tree?”

“You mean Cherish and Quick Quick?” Dash answered. “I do.”

“What are they doing up there?”

“Those guys are fast. But, on a nice, warm, sunny day, those two like to take a cat nap.”

They look outside, and see Cherish Cheetah and Quick Quick napping in the tree. Rainbow smiled, knowing these fast citizens of Everwilde are relaxed.

6. Yoga with Sela Sloth

Author's Note

Twilight Sparkle gets a free yoga session, courtesy of Sela Sloth. Yoga can calm down anybody. Even a brainiac like Twilight.

6. Yoga with Sela Sloth

As the sun rises to welcome a new day to Canterlot City, Twilight Sparkle gets in shape by jogging in the neighborhood. Wearing a sky blue shirt, black spandex shorts and purple sneakers, Twilight paces herself. One mile later, she stops for a break.

“I don’t know how Rainbow Dash puts up with this.” Twilight thought. “But, even I need to be athletic sometimes.”

Soon, she sees a light tan skinned girl with wavy brown hair, brown and white around the eyes, and wearing a long sleeve magenta shirt and blue Capri exercise pants doing yoga exercises in Tree Hugger’s backyard.

“It’s Sela Sloth.” Twilight figured quietly. “She one of the most relaxed citizens of Junglewood.”

As Twilight starts to leave, a southern female voice calls to her. “Good morning, Twilight Sparkle.”

Twilight turns, and sees Sela wave to her.

“Oh. Hi, Sela.” Twilight replied nervously.

“No need to be shy.” Sela said. “Come over.”

Twilight walks slowly walks to the backyard. She enters and walks to Sela.

“You wanted to see me?” Twilight wondered.

“Sure do.” Sela replied. “You look like you can use some relaxation. And, yoga can help.”

“Studying for a while can be stressful. And, hearing about citizens of Everwilde visiting made me more uneasy.”

Sela went to comfort Twilight. “Then, why not practice some yoga with me. Tree Hugger often has extra mats for you.”

Soon, Tree Hugger comes out with a purple mat.

“I thought that was you, Twilight.” Tree Hugger said as she hands the brainy girl the mat. “You definitely need to chill out.”

After unrolling her mat, Twilight took off her shoes, and stepped on the mat.

“Okay, Twilight.” Sela said after putting on some calm music. “Follow my lead.”

Soon, Twilight was stretching along said Sela. While doing a tree pose, Twilight bent her leg only a little bit, knowing she’s a little unbalanced. Twilight saw things on a different angle while doing downward facing dog. She even smiled a little. Later, the girls sat cross legged on their mats.

“Feeling a bit better?” Sela asked.

“I feel a lot better, Sela.” Twilight replied. She then noticed something strange. “Where’s your little friend: Treebody?”

Just then, a sloth climbed down, and slowly moved to Twilight. She looks at the sloth, and smiled.

“There you are.” Twilight chirped. “My dog, Spike, would like to meet you.”

“I guess Treebody senses calmness within you, Twi.” Sela calmly said.

The girls soon proceeded with their meditation, with Treebody sitting with them peacefully.

7. Appreciation with Winsley Wolf

Author's Note

Winsley Wolf appreciates any area of nature. Even that of Sweet Apple Acres, as Applejack will find out.

7. Appreciation with Winsley Wolf

Applejack finished cleaning the barn at her home at Sweet Apple Acres. There was a party the night before with all of her friends. They all had a good time. Dancing, talking, and having some of the Apple Family’s well known cider. Something Rainbow Dash never gets enough of. After the barn was cleaned, Applejack went to her room to rest up.

“That was quite a mess Dashie left from throwing up.” Applejack thought. “Me and Rarity warned her not to overdo the cider.”

“Applejack!” Granny Smith called.

“Comin’.” AJ replied.

She went downstairs to see what Granny Smith wants.

“Dearie,” Granny said calmly, “you no doubt heard about them animal folks from Everwilde visiting our town. Haven’t you?”

“I sure have.” Applejack said. “If fact, my friends told me that they met some of them.”

“I heard that someone is walking along our apple orchards. It could be one of them.”

Applejack was very confused about that. Looking around the trees, she then sees her sister, Apple Bloom, talking to a girl with light gray skin and light blue hair with white stripes.

“Howdy, big sis.” Apple Bloom said happily. “I’m just talking to this kind soul about y’all.”

The girl turned around and greeted Applejack. “Hello, Applejack. I’m very glad to meet you.”

When she saw that the visitor has wolf ears and white marks going down between her eyes to her nose, she knew who the visitor is.

“I heard of ya’.” Applejack figured. “You’re Winsley Wolf. And, y’all are from Frozenwood.”

“Correct, my farmer friend.” Winsley replied.

“What brings you here?”

“I heard many stories of Sweet Apple Acres. And, decided to have a look around myself.”

Applejack couldn’t help but smile. “I’m sure glad that folks appreciate this place, Winsley. Many folks of Canterlot City appreciate all of the hard work we of the Apple Family do around here.”

“Even your little sister: Apple Bloom?” Winsley wondered.

“Eeyup. She’s one of the hardest workers around here.” Applejack looked around. “Where is Apple Bloom anyhow?”

Apple Bloom was seen playing with what looks like a wolf pup.

“Hey, sis.” Applejack greeted. “I see y’all are playing with Trooper over there.”

“Trooper?” Apple Bloom blurted as she looks at the pup. “Is that your name?”

The wolf pup barked happily as it heads for Winsley.

“Correct, young Apple Bloom.” Winsley replied. “Trooper is my bestie.”

The Apple Sisters watch Winsley and Trooper together, and felt very happy. Later that day, Applejack and Winsley look at the golden hills as the sun starts to set.

“You should come to Frozenwood, Applejack.” Winsley said proudly. “The sun helps the snowy areas there sparkle like jewels.

“Might be a good idea, Winsley.” Applejack said as she puts her arm around Winsley’s shoulder. “Rarity would appreciate that scene.”

The two girls chuckled a little as they continue to watch the sunset.

Author's Note

Pinkie and her sisters get a visit from Mayla Mouse.

8. Time for some fun with Mayla Mouse

Pinkie was cleaning her confetti cannon for a Fourth of July celebration coming up. After polishing it up nicely, she looks at it with happiness.

“Hey, Pinkie. My party hearty sister!” Limestone Pie called out. “How’s that confetti cannon coming along?”

“It’s just about ready, sis.” Pinkie replied. “This will really spice up the Fourth of July!”

“Ma and Pa will be proud of you for this. You probably feel a little better after meeting Petya Pig.”

“A little.” Pinkie soon gets a little worried. “I guess I’m still not used to these Everwilde characters visiting our town.”

Limestone gives her a devious smile. “Maybe this visitor will help you cheer up.” She then calls from around the corner of the house. “Come on out, Mayla!”

Out steps a girl with gray skin, pink hair, mouse ears, whiskers, and a long tail. Pinkie soon gets surprised. “Wowee! Mayla Mouse!”

“Hi, Pinkie Pie!” Mayla cheered as she gives Pinkie a hug.

I think I’ll leave these two alone. Limestone thought. I’m sure Mayla can help Pinkie feel better.

Limestone goes back into the house. Meanwhile, Mayla looks at Pinkie’s confetti cannon.

“I love this confetti cannon!” Mayla praised. “You must be very proud of this gadget.”

“You bet, Mayla.” Pinkie responded. “If you haven’t heard, I love making parties happen no matter what the occasion.”

“So, I’ve heard. Maybe you can come over to Everwilde some day. There are plenty of celebrations going on there.”

Pinkie’s eyes widened. “Really? Wow!”

Pretty soon, a little mouse can scurrying up to Mayla. She picked it up and cuddled it. “I wondered where you went to.”

Pinkie looked at the mouse, and giggled. “Is that Fondue?”

“It sure is. How did you guess?”

“Well, me and my friends heard stories about Everwilde. So, even before summer came, we studied about the lands and citizens of that place. But, I never knew we’d be meeting the citizens of Everwilde.”

Mayla gave Pinkie a big smile. “I’m sure you didn’t.”

Soon, Pinkie’s young sister, Marble, comes out. “Pinkie. Did you see a cute little mouse run around here?”

“Fondue?” Pinkie figured. “Yeah. That bestie went back to Mayla here.”

Marble saw Mayla, and realized what Pinkie is talking about.

“I think your little friend is so cute.” Marble cooed. “I always did like mice.”

“I’m guessing as long as they don’t cause trouble around farms like this.” Mayla said.

“That’s true.” Marble replied as she heads back to the house. “Nice meeting you, Mayla.”

Pinkie and Mayla looked at each other, and shared a laugh.

9. Bedtime with Ohana Owl

Author's Note

Rarity needs help in getting Sweetie Belle to relax before bedtime. This is where Ohana Owl comes in.

9. Bedtime with Ohana Owl

Night comes to Canterlot City. Rarity and Sweetie Belle are at their house, trying to relax before bedtime. But, Sweetie Belle is a bit restless.

“Rarity,” Sweetie said nervously, “after that time me and my friends had at the park, I don’t know if I can sleep.”

“I can imagine.” Rarity replied. “You and Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo tried to fly kites. But, it became a bit too windy. You girls were lucky you weren’t blown away.”

“I wonder how I’ll ever relax.”

“Well, I called Fluttershy. She said that someone is coming over to help with your problem.”

The doorbell sounds, and Rarity answered. She was greeted by a sweet looking girl with white skin, light blue and deep blue hair, and has moons and stars on her outfit. She also has a yellow nose, making it look like a beak.

“Good evening, Miss Rarity.” The visitor greeted calmly.

“My goodness.” Rarity gasped. “Ohana Owl.”

“In person.”

As Ohana comes into the house, Rarity and Sweetie Belle were a bit confused.

“Are you this person Fluttershy said would be coming?” Rarity asked.

“That I am.” Ohana replied. “I heard about what happened at the park. If I tried to fly a kite on a very windy day, I’d be a bit rattled.”

“So, what brings you here?” Sweetie wondered.

“I came over to help you relax, Sweetie Belle. Maybe a bedtime story can help you fall asleep.”

“What a good idea.” Rarity praised. “A bedtime story is just what the doctor ordered.”

Just then, two owls flew in and joined up with Ohana. Rarity and Sweetie Belle were pleasantly surprised.

“Oh!” Rarity gasped. “Yawn and Kani. Your besties.”

“Correct.” Ohana answered. “They’re going to help me out.” She then turned to Sweetie Belle. “Time to get you ready for bed.”

Sweetie followed Ohana and her besties upstairs. Soon, Sweetie was in bed with Ohana and her besties sitting next to her.

“Do you think that a story will help me?” Sweetie wondered.

“I’m sure.” Ohana assured. “My story telling and the soft hooting of my besties, Yawn and Kani, will help you relax.”

“What story did you select?”

“This story is about a young girl who wants to prove that although she’s fancy, she is not afraid to go on an adventure.”

Ohana opened a book and starts reading while Yawn and Kani flew next to Sweetie. Later, Ohana and her friends quietly walked downstairs to meet with Rarity.

“Sweetie is sound asleep.” Ohana quietly said.

“Thanks, Ohana.” Rarity said softly.

The two friends shared in a sweet hug.

10. A day of riddles with Prue Panda

Author's Note

Twilight is off on a scavenger hunt of sorts, not knowing that Prue Panda set this up.

10. A day of riddles with Prue Panda

Twilight relaxes with a trip to the library. As she reads one of her favorite books, Trixie come up to greet her.

“Greetings, Bookworm.” Trixie proudly said.

“What do you want, Trixie?” Twilight asked.

Trixie pulls out a piece of paper, and presents it to Twilight. “I was asked to deliver this to you. Farewell.”

Trixie walks away, leaving Twilight confused as she reads the paper.

I heard that you like a challenge. Follow my clues, and you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Clue #1: The latest fashions can be displayed her. Along with regular clothing.

“Looks like a scavenger hunt of sorts.” Twilight thought. “I accept the challenge. I better get home and fetch Spike.”

Putting her book back on the shelf, Twilight walks off. Later, Twilight and Spike arrive at a clothing store.

“Are you sure this is the right place?” Spike wondered.

“Of course I’m sure.” Twilight replied. “The Canterlot Carousel has the latest fashions around. This is where that clue told us to go.”

“What about that paw print on the paper?”

“We’ll figure it out later.”

Inside the store, they were greeted by store manger, Sassy Saddles.

“Hello, friends.” Sassy greeted. “How can I help you?”

“I got this strange letter that said to come here.” Twilight explained as she shows her the paper.

“Oh yes! I see. Wait right here!”

Sassy leaves the area. She comes back with a sky blue dress with deep blue vertical stripes. “I was asked to give you this.”

Twilight looks at the dress, and is amazed. “Wow! Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Sassy then presents an envelope. “This is for you as well.”

Twilight received the envelope, and leaves the store. Outside, she and Spike read the letter from the envelope.

Now that you have a beautiful dress, here’s Clue #2. It’s a place that houses a portal between this place and Equestria. The former bully of Canterlot High School originally came from there.

“From what I heard,” Twilight figured, “Sunset Shimmer came here from that horse statue in front of our school.”

“I guess we’re going there next.” Spike said.

“That’s right. Let’s go.”

Twilight and Spike soon went to the statue near the school. There, Sunset Shimmer was waiting.

“Hey, Twi.” Sunset greeted.

“Hi, Sunset.” Twilight replied. “I was asked to come here.”

“Yeah, I know.” Sunset pulls out an envelope. “This is for you. See you around.”

As Sunset left for her home, Twilight I end the envelope, and reads the letter.

So far, so good. So, here’s Clue #3. Hoity Toity is hosting an event that’s pet friendly. Many people bring their pets here anyway. Wear that dress when you arrive because, I’m going to be there.

Wearing the dress she got from Sassy, Twilight and Spike arrive at Canterlot State Park.

“I heard of this event to commemorate preserving wildlife.” Spike informed. “But, who wants us to come to this place?”

“I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.” Twilight said.

Suddenly, a girl’s voice called to them. “Twilight Sparkle! Spike! You made it!”

They soon saw a white skinned girl with a black nose, black around the eyes, and black hair with what looks like round ears coming out. Twilight recognizes her.

“No way!” Twilight gasped. “Prue Panda!”

Prue soon hugged Twilight happily. Spike was surprised. “You were the one who sent those letters?”

“That’s right, Spike.” Prue answered. “I even got Trixie, Miss Saddles, and Sunset to help out.”

“But, why?” Twilight asked.

“Hoity Toity is hosting a wildlife conservation event here at Canterlot State Park.” Prue explained. “I was invited to attend. But, I needed to bring a guest with me.”

“That’s understandable. But, why not Fluttershy instead of me?”

“Fluttershy came down with a cold, If you haven’t heard. But, since you’re the knowledge seeking type, you might be interested.”

Twilight smiled, knowing that Prue is right. But, she noticed something a miss. “Where’s your little friend: Nari?”

Prue pointed down to Spike having a conversation with a small panda bear. The two girls shared a giggle. Soon, Twilight, Spike, Prue, and Nari entered the park to join this event.

11. Ice cream delivery with Preena Penguin

Author's Note

Sunset is ready to help Preena Penguin with an ice cream delivery.

11. Ice cream delivery with Preena Penguin

On a warm summer day, Sunset Shimmer walks down the street, enjoying an ice cream cone. After finishing her treat, she uses a napkin to wipe her hands clean. She then comes to a place that stores ice cream.

“If Pinkie was here,” Sunset said to herself, “she would eat enough ice cream to have brain freeze for a month."

“You there!” A male voice calls out.

Sunset saw a light blue skinned man with light gray spiky hair, wearing a blue long sleeve shirt, gray slacks, and brown boots come out.

“Are you talking to me?” Sunset asked.

“You bet!” The man replied. “My name is Arctic Breeze, and I’m in charge of this ice cream storage plant.”

“What can I do for you, Mr. Breeze?”

Sunset is given an explanation. “My regular driver is out with a twisted ankle. So, I asked a substitute driver to make a delivery to the home of Filthy Rich. It’s his and his wife’s wedding anniversary.”

“Wow! It’s that time already. So, where do I come in?”

“This driver is new to Canterlot City. I’m looking for a guide to help her. You live in this town. Maybe you can help.”

Sunset is surprised to hear the story. She then, made a decision. “Arctic Breeze, you got a deal.”

Arctic lead Sunset to the truck that’s delivering the ice cream. Arctic calls out to somebody. “I have a guide to help you, Preena.”

“Preena?” Sunset wondered.

Just then, a white skinned girl with puffy black hair, and a yellow nose came out. She wore a black shirt, blue jeans, and orange sneakers. Sunset was shocked to see this girl. “Of course. Preena Penguin.”

“Sunset Shimmer!” Preena called out. “This is a surprise.”

Sunset went up to meet the young ice maiden.

“You were called in to help?” Sunset asked.

“I sure am.” Preena answered. “I was just passing by here when Arctic Breeze called me over and told me of the situation. I couldn’t help but be of help.”

“That’s right. You drive an ice cream truck at Everwilde.”

“That’s right. So, driving a truck like this is an honor for us.”

Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Us?”

A little penguin crawled out of the truck and squawked happily to Sunset.

“Oh yeah.” Sunset realized. “Your partner: Jayla.”

Arctic turned to the girls. “You guys ready to go?”

“Yes, Sir.” Sunset and Preena said together.

“Good. Ice cream is loaded up. Time to roll.”

Preena and Sunset got into the truck, with Preena driving. Soon, they were on their way. As the truck rolled, Sunset pointed out locations to Preena, helping her know her way around town. Soon, they arrived at the mansion of Filthy and Spoiled Rich. Their daughter, Diamond Tiara called to her parents when she saw the truck.

“Mother! Father!” Diamond called out. “The ice cream delivery is here!”

Filthy and Spoiled came out and saw the truck. Spoiled saw the driver, and talked with her.

“Preena Penguin.” Spoiled said. “You made it.”

“That I did.” Preena replied.

“Was it hard to find your way around town?”

“Not when you have a good guide.”

Preena pointed to Sunset as Filthy came along.

“Hello, Miss Shimmer.” Filthy greeted. “Nice of you to be here.”

“Well,” Sunset explained, “Preena needed a guide. Fortunately, I was available.”

Faithful servants took the ice cream delivery into the house as the family thanked Preena and Sunset.

“Thank you for your assistance, Miss Penguin.” Filthy said as he handed her a check for the ice cream.

“You’re welcome, Sir.” Preena replied as she puts the check in an envelope. “Let Mr. Breeze know if you need any more ice cream, and he’ll oblige.”

“We will. Take care, ladies.”

The girls soon drove off and headed back to the storage plant. Sunset and Preena high fived each other as Jayla squawked happily.

When Big Mac is unable to help with an apple harvest, it’s Gillian Giraffe to the rescue.

13. Apple picking with Gillian Giraffe

The Apple Family were busy picking apples for one of their special parties.

“I hope this goes well.” Apple Bloom wondered.

“Don’t worry, sis.” Applejack said. “We’ll get through this.”

Granny Smith comes out to see how this are going.

“How are ya’ doing, AJ?” Granny Smith asked.

“We’re working as hard as we can, Granny.” Applejack informed. “But, with Big Mac sidelined, it’s a bit harder than we expected.”

“How’s about taking a break for lunch. I’ll call for extra help.”

Inside, The Apple Sisters enjoy some sandwiches and water. Applejack looks at her brother, Big Macintosh. He sprained his ankle earlier that morning. This slowed things down a bit.

“I’m sorry, Applejack.” Big Mac said sadly. “I’d gladly help y’all. But, with this sprain, I’m helpless.”

“Just rest, Big Mac.” Applejack comforted. “We’ll get through this.”

“Applejack!” Granny Smith called out. “I brought the help we need.”

In steps a marigold skinned girl with wavy vermillion colored hair, brown spots on her skin, horns on her head, and pointed ears.

“I should’ve known Granny would call you.” Applejack said.

“Who is she?” Apple Bloom wondered.

“Sis, this here is Gillian Giraffe from the Grazy Grasslands.”

“Granny Smith told me that you’re one person short.” Gillian said. “So, she asked for my help.”

Apple Bloom was a bit confused. “How can she help us?”

“From what I heard,” Applejack figured, “Gillian has her own apple orchard back in her home. She’s probably used to this.”

“Oh.”

Gillian went over to see Big Mac. “Don’t worry, Big Macintosh. You’ll be okay.”

“Thank you kindly, ma’am.” Big Mac replied.

Soon, a small giraffe came in to the room, and started to nuzzle Big Mac.

“Where’d y’all come from?” Big Mac wondered.

Applejack giggles as she approaches the giraffe. “Howdy, Pawl. Helping my brother get over his bum ankle?”

The giraffe named Pawl nodded, knowing Applejack was right. Later, Gillian, Pawl, and the Apple Sisters continued their work by the Apple trees. With the baskets full, they were all satisfied.

“Looks like we’re ready for our party tonight.” Applejack figured.

Apple Bloom approached the visitor. “Thanks for your help, Gillian.” Pawl approached them and cuddled Apple Bloom. She turns and pets the giraffe. “Thank you too, Pawl.”

“It was our pleasure, Apple Sisters.” Gillian replied proudly. “Let’s get these apples ready to make cider out of them.”

“Yee-Haw!” Applejack and Apple Bloom cheered as they take their baskets into the barn.

14. Surf’s up with Dolce Dolphin

Author's Note

Rainbow Dash is set to hit the waves. And, so is Everwilde’s surfer girl, Dolce Dolphin.

14. Surf’s up with Dolce Dolphin

Waxing her surfboard, Rainbow Dash is all set to hit the waves. She looks at the scenery. Suddenly, she saw something on the beach. Her number one fan, Scootaloo, playing with what looks like a small dolphin as it splashes in the water.

“Hey, Scoots.” Dash greeted as she heads for Scootaloo. “Where did that little critter come from?”

“Oh! Hi, Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo responded. “Some cool looking lady asked me to watch over this dolphin.” She pours water on the critter to keep it wet. “She said that she’s preparing to go surfing.”

“Cool looking lady, huh?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow. “What does this lady look like?”

“That would be me.” Said the voice of an excitable girl.

Rainbow sees that the girl has light gray skin, bright pink hair, and what looks like fins on her hands. She wore a deep blue wetsuit, and carries a yellow surfboard.

“Rainbow Dash.” The girl said. “I was hoping to meet you.”

“Whoa!” Rainbow Dash gasped. “I heard about you. You’re Dolce Dolphin, the surfer girl from Wishing Waters.”

“You guessed correctly.” Dolce praised.

“Wishing Waters?” Scootaloo said with confusion. “You mean, you’re from Everwilde?”

“That’s right, Scootaloo. I heard that the waves are gnarly here at Canterlot Beach. So, me and my bestie came here to check it out.”

“Bestie?”

“Yep. He’s the little dolphin you’re taking care of.”

The little dolphin splashed happily in the water.

“That’s right!” Rainbow realized. “Your bestie’s name is Largo. Right?”

“You got it.” Dolce answered.

Rainbow Dash picked up her board. “Show me what you got, Dolce.”

“Okay.” Dolce replied as she turned to her bestie. “Let’s go, Largo.”

The little dolphin followed Dolce and Rainbow into the water. Soon, the surfer girls and the dolphin awaited for a wave.

“I see a big one coming.” Dash indicated. “You think you and Largo can keep up with me?”

“Trust me, Dash.” Dolce replied. “You’ll be surprised.”

“HERE IT COMES!”

Soon, Rainbow Dash and Dolce rode a big wave while Largo swam to a safe distance, watching the girls surf greatly.

“This is awesome!” Rainbow cheered. “The waves today are just epic!”

“You said it, Rainbow Dash.” Dolce said happily. “YAHOO!”

Minutes later, Rainbow Dash was at a park, watching a video posted of her and Dolce in the water.

“Unbelievable!” Sunset said while watching the video as well. “You and Dolce Dolphin looked awesome out there.”

“I just can’t believe Scootaloo decided to videotape us surfing.” Dash realized. “I guess she wants to show people that we can get along with the citizens of Everwilde.”

“Yeah. I guess we had nothing to worry about after all.”

The two girls shared a laugh as they continue to watch the cool video.

Twilight is receiving ice skating lessons from Hauna Husky.

15. A day at the rink with Hauna Husky

With the weather warm, Twilight Sparkle joined Rarity as they make their way to the ice rink.

“It’s nice to let me join you at the ice rink, Rarity.” Twilight said.

“My pleasure, darling.” Rarity replied. “I think this will be a great experience for you.”

“It would be.” Twilight started to get worried. “If I knew how to skate.”

Rarity gasped, hearing that comment. “You mean, you don’t know how to ice skate?”

“I’m afraid not. I guess you don’t need me to join you now.”

Twilight is starting to tear up. Rarity then went to comfort her friend. “Don’t worry, Twilight. What you need is an instructor.”

“Do you know one?” Twilight wondered.

“Well, I heard that someone from Frozenwood is visiting this rink now. She’ll probably be happy to teach you.”

Twilight wonders who Rarity is talking about. Inside the rink, Twilight watched everyone, Rarity included, having fun ice skating. She was soon approached by a girl with white skin with gray going down to her nose and surrounding her face, she has glittering silver hair, and pointed dog ears. She wore a sea foam green ice skating outfit.

“Hello, Twilight Sparkle.” The girl said.

Twilight soon knows who it is. “Are you Hauna Husky?”

“Yes, I am.”

“I heard of you. You run a hot chocolate stand in Frozenwood.”

“Sounds like you did research. I decided to visit this ice rink since it’s a nice warm day.”

Twilight got confused. “Are you going to teach me how to skate?”

“That’s right.” Hauna answered. “First, let’s get you measured for ice skates.”

Soon, Twilight has skates on and finds herself on the ice.

“You’ve probably seen roller blades used. Haven’t you?” Hauna said.

“I...g..guess so.” Twilight said nervously.

“It’s the same here. Except on ice. All you need is balance.”

Taking it slow, Twilight starts sliding slowly on the ice. The intellect feels unstable. Fortunately, Hauna stands by her so she won’t hurt herself.

“Slow and steady wins it all, Twilight.” Hauna explained. “Just take it easy.”

“I’m..I’m trying.” Twilight said nervously.

Suddenly, Twilight got unbalanced, and fell on her butt.

“Are you all right?” Hauna asked.

Twilight took a moment to recover. “I’m fine. Good thing I learned to fall on my seat, so I won’t break my ankle.”

“Good to know.” Hauna lifted Twilight up. “Let’s try again.”

As the day went on, Twilight is getting steady on the ice. Hauna stood by her to keep her safe. From a distance, Rarity was watching. She was pleased with Twilight’s progress. Later that day, Twilight sat down to rest. Rarity went over to check on her.

“You’re getting good, Twilight.” Rarity praised.

“Thanks, Rarity.” Twilight said. “Hauna is a good teacher.”

Hauna came to them with cups of hot cocoa on a tray. Twilight saw a husky puppy tag along with her.

“Aw.” Twilight cooed. “It’s Hauna’s bestie: Whipped.”

“He does look adorable.” Rarity added.

“Thanks, girls.” Hauna praised as she hands Twilight and Rarity their cups. “Here’s to a cool time here in the ice rink.”

“Cheers!” Twilight and Rarity said together as they raise their cups.

The three girls enjoyed their hot cocoa, and each other.

Fluttershy meets up with Zelena Zebra. An artist with an eye for nature as impressive as hers.

16. The art of nature with Zelena Zebra

Fluttershy took a trip to an art museum because she heard of a display of paintings of nature. She looked around, and is very impressed.

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy said happily. “These paintings are amazing.”

“Indeed they are.” Said socialite Hoity Toity. “The artist who painted these masterpieces has a good eye for nature.”

Fluttershy looked at the pictures with admiration. The details of a forest painting are amazing. The trees looked so real. The different shades of green work well.

She also saw a picture of a beach during sunset. The colors of the sunset looked fantastic. Fluttershy couldn’t help but laugh a little.

“Pretty amazing, isn’t it?” Hoity Toity asked.

“They sure are.” Fluttershy said happily. “The artist must have good views for these masterpieces.”

“Then, you should meet her.”

Hoity Toity waves his hand, and a young lady came in. She has white skin with a few black stripes, long black hair with some white stripes, a long blue dress with black shoes, and what looks like a short white tail.

“Wow!” Fluttershy gasped, knowing who it is. “Zelena Zebra!”

The girl named Zelena walked over to her. “Fluttershy, the nature lover. I hoped to meet you.”

“You were?”

“Sure. When I came to Canterlot City to donate my paintings, I heard about many of this city’s citizens. Including you.”

“Fluttershy was admiring your paintings, Miss Zebra.” Hoity Toity informed.

“Most people do.” Zelena praised.

Just then, Hoity Toity saw a small zebra walk over to the group. “Is that a friend of yours?”

Zelena saw the critter. “Yes. He and I are always together. Just like all Enchantimals and their besties.”

Fluttershy walked over to the zebra. “Hello, Hoofette.”

She started petting Hoofette, making Zelena smile.

“You have a way to understand animals. Don’t you?” Zelena asked.

“I sure do.” Fluttershy replied.

Suddenly, Zelena’s eyes widened. “This gives me an idea for a new painting.”

Fluttershy wondered what Zelena had in mind. Later, at her house, Fluttershy hangs a picture on her wall. It was of her wearing a forest green long sleeve gown, and she is joined by many animals in a forest. Rainbow Dash, who was visiting Fluttershy, was impressed with it.

“I can’t believe that you met Zelena Zebra, who painted this picture.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Believe me, Rainbow.” Fluttershy proudly said. “Meeting her and Hoofette was an honor.”

Rainbow agreed as she and Fluttershy admired the painting.

When things look dull on the Fourth of July, Peeki Parrot comes along to brighten things up.

17. Brightening the mood with Peeki Parrot

The Fourth of July is here. But, it was raining. Inside their home, Rarity and Sweetie Belle watched with disappointment in their eyes.

“There goes our Fourth of July celebrations.” Sweetie Belle realized.

“I guess so.” Rarity agreed. “But, it’s still morning. Hopefully, the weather will clear up before tonight. That’s when the fireworks happen.”

“I guess you’re right.”

Later that day, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came over to help Sweetie Belle cheer up.

“Don’t feel bad, Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said. “The rain is starting to lighten up.”

“Yeah!” Scootaloo added. “Soon, the sky will be clear. And tonight, FIREWORKS!”

“I guess you’re right.” Sweetie said, feeling relieved. “I shouldn’t feel so bad.”

Stepping outside for some fresh air, Rarity looked at the sky as the clouds broke up.

“Ah.” Rarity sighed. “The clouds are breaking up. The Fourth of July fun is saved.”

Rarity then saw a wild looking sight. It was a light pink skinned girl with bright red and yellow hair. She also has a marigold colored nose.

“Peeki Parrot!” Rarity called out. “This is a pleasant surprise.”

“Rarity.” Peeki said. “The fashionista of Canterlot City.”

“I wouldn’t go that far, darling. But, thanks.”

Peeki walks over to say hello to Rarity as a parrot flew over to land on Peeki’s shoulder.

“Hello to you too, Sheeny.” Rarity said to the parrot.

Sheeny blushed, knowing Rarity greeted her.

“What brings you here, Peeki?” Rarity wondered.

“The Fourth of July celebration, of course.” Peeki answered. “And, with the sky clearing, the celebration is on.”

“Indeed. I even have a special outfit made for this. Come in, darlings.”

Accepting the invitation, Peeki and Sheeny went inside. Rarity’s outfit consists of a blue top with white stars stitched on it. There was even star shaped shoulder pads. There’s also a long red skirt with white stripes going across.

“Beautiful dress, Rarity.” Peeki praised. “This truly captures the American spirit.”

“Thank you, Peeki.” Rarity said happily. She then notices Peeki’s colorful outfit. “Pinkie Pie would be in love with your outfit.”

“Your party planning buddy? Yes, I would guess so.”

The girls shared a laugh as Sweetie and her friends came in.

“Hey, Rarity.” Sweetie Belle called out. “I heard that the skies will be clear for the fireworks tonight.”

“Excellent!” Rarity cheered.

Later that night, at Canterlot State Park, many people came over with blankets to sit on. Soon, fireworks went off, and everyone cheered. Pinkie Pie was among them, and she looked at Peeki’s outfit.

“Wow!” Pinkie chirped. “I wish I had an outfit like what Peeki Parrot is wearing.”

“I’m sure you would.” Pinkie’s sister, Limestone, said. “Peeki is bright and cheerful. Kind of like you.”

Pinkie blushed a little as she continues to watch the fireworks. It turned out to be a good night after all.

18. To the rescue with Danessa Deer

When one of Rainbow Dash’s soccer teammates is hurt, it’s Danessa Deer to the rescue!

18. To the rescue with Danessa Deer

It’s a beautiful day at an athletic park. Rainbow Dash and her soccer buddies are working hard to perfect their moves.

“Last week was pretty good, team.” Captain Spitfire said. “However, we can’t be lacking in our training.”

“You said it.” Rainbow Dash agreed. “We have to keep training if we want to keep our winning streak going.”

“Well said, Dash. We might be able to reach the championship.”

Soarin’ Skies looks at the goal where Misty Fly is waiting.

“Try to get past me, Soarin.” Misty challenged.

Soarin Skies likes a challenge. Going in many directions, he finally kicks the ball to the net. Misty Fly jumps to intercept the ball. But, it went past her and into the net.

“GOAL!” Soarin shouted.

“Great kick, Soarin!” Rainbow Dash cheered.

Even Misty was impressed. He must’ve been working out in the gym.

Blowing a whistle, Spitfire got everybody’s attention. “Let’s take a break!”

The team went over to grab bottled water. Suddenly, up and coming player Vapor Trail screeched. “OUCH!”

Everybody got concerned.

“What’s wrong, Vapor?” Sky Stinger asked.

“It’s my ankle.” Vapor Trail replied. “I stumbled a little. And now, it hurts like crazy!”

Sitting on a bench, Vapor Trail started crying from the pain. This got even Spitfire worried.

“We better get her to a doctor.” Spitfire suggested as she calls out to someone. “Danessa, wheelchair! STAT!”

Seconds later, a young lady with brown skin and purple hair rushes in with a wheelchair. When Rainbow saw lighter brown around her eyes, and has pointed ears and antlers, the speedster recognizes her.

“Danessa Deer!” Rainbow gasped.

“What’s the problem, Spitfire?” Danessa asked.

“Vapor Trail’s ankle started to hurt suddenly.” Spitfire explained. “We need to get her to a doctor.”

“Gotcha. Sky Stinger, Fleetfoot, help her to the wheelchair.”

The two soccer players helped their fallen comrade to the wheelchair. At that moment, a small deer rushes over to the scene.

“Who’s that?” Misty Fly asked.

“That’s Danessa’s partner: Sprint.” Rainbow replied.

Danessa strapped Vapor Trail to the wheelchair. “This will keep you still until we get medical attention. Nurse Red Heart is close to here.”

“O-o-okay.” Vapor sobbed.

Danessa and Sprint pushed Vapor Trail out of the park and to Nurse Red Heart.

“Rainbow Dash,” Spitfire suggested, “you better go with them. It’s a good way to spend time with Danessa.”

“Gotcha, Spitfire.” Dash agreed as she heads for the park exit. “Danessa! Sprint! Wait for me!”

Dash sped to catch up to Danessa and company. Later, at Nurse Red Heart’s office, Rainbow Dash sat with Danessa and Sprint wondering about Vapor Trail.

“I hope she’ll be okay.” Rainbow said worryingly. “Sky Stinger is really worried.”

Danessa places her hand on Rainbow’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Dash. I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

Sprint came along to nuzzle Rainbow Dash. She starts to pet the deer. “Thanks for comforting me, Sprint.”

Nurse Red Heart came out and gave the girls some news. “Vapor Trail is fine. No broken bones. Just a sprain.”

That was a relief to everyone as Vapor Trail walks out with her ankle in an ace bandage, and using a cane for stability.

“I guess I’ll be out of action for a bit.” Vapor realized.

“At least you’re going to be okay in a few weeks.” Rainbow Dash comforted.

Vapor Trail looks to her rescuers. “Thanks, Danessa. Thanks, Sprint.”

“We are glad to help.” Danessa replied happily.

Feeling relieved, Rainbow and Danessa hugged each other as Sprint and Vapor watch happily.

19. Barn clean up with Haydie Horse

A storm ripped through Canterlot City. It wasn’t that bad. But, enough to leave a bit of damage. At Sweet Apple Acres, the Apple Family went over to the barn to survey the damage.

“Thanks for coming over all the way from Appleloosa, Braeburn.” Applejack said with relief.

“I had to.” Braeburn said. “We’re family. And, family always helps one another.”

Big Mac agreed. “Eeyup.”

“I’m very impressed that we slept through it the night before.” Apple Bloom added.

“You and me both, sis.” Applejack agreed. “But, It sure damaged our barn.”

“I’m glad that hearing of this here storm, we asked Fluttershy to take care of Penelope.”

“At least our chickens found safe refuge in our basement. Their chicken coop is still intact.”

Granny Smith came along to join the family.

“We have the tools, we have the man power, we’re set to go.” Granny Smith informed.

“Then, let’s get fixin’.” Braeburn cheered.

“I also asked for extra help.” Granny called out to someone. “Come on over, Haydie!”

Soon, a brown skinned girl came over. She has light tan going between her eyes up to her nose. She has straight brown hair with ears on top of her head. This girl is wearing a white flannel shirt, blue bib overalls, and brown boots.

“Well, I’ll be.” Applejack gasped, knowing who it is. “Haydie Horse!”

“Howdy, Applejack.” Haydie said. “It’s good to finally meet you.”

Braeburn got curious. “What are y’all doing here?”

“Granny Smith called me and told me of what happened from last night.” Haydie explained. “She said that you guys can use my help.”

“That’s right.” Apple Bloom realized. “There’s a barn over at Harvest Hills. So, you’re used to taking care of things like this.”

“That’s right, Apple Bloom.”

A small horse came along and nuzzled Applejack. She looked at the horse happily. “Howdy, Trotter. Came to help too?”

Trotter nodded. Braeburn looked at the horse with confusion. “Trotter?”

“Eeyup.” Big Macintosh replied. “Haydie’s companion. Besties as the Enchantimals call them.”

Granny Smith made an announcement. “All right, folks. It’s fixing time!”

Everybody cheered. Soon, the family started the repairs. Apple Bloom sweeps away any debris. Braeburn helps out with outdoor garbage bags. Applejack and Big Mac hammer in new wood. Haydie holds the wood steady for the hammering. Trotter uses his tail to sweep more debris in the bag.

“Thanks, Trotter.” Apple Bloom praised.

Trotter whinnies happily. Granny Smith helps out by supplying any materials.

“Looking good, folks.” Granny said. “Need anymore wood or nails, I have it.”

“Thanks, Granny Smith.” Haydie replied.

Applejack, Big Mac, and Braeburn are happy with Haydie’s help. Later, the barn is fixed as Fluttershy brings Penelope back to the barn.

“You’re a good horse, Penelope.” Fluttershy said calmly. “Now, you’re home.”

Applejack came over to talk to Fluttershy.

“Thanks for taking care of Penelope, Fluttershy.” Applejack praised.

“My pleasure.” Fluttershy said happily. “I’m pretty impressed that Haydie Horse and Trotter helped out.”

“You’re not the only one.”

Haydie has a conversation with Granny Smith. “You and your family should visit Harvest Hills, Granny Smith. You folks would feel right at home.”

“From what I’ve heard about your own farm land home,” Granny figured, “you maybe right.”

The two ladies high fived each other, satisfied with the repairs.

21. Diving with Clarita Clownfish

At a lake near Canterlot State Park, Pinkie Pie was looking at the water, getting very excited.

“I am so looking forward to this dive.” Pinkie said happily. “There should be some great things to take pictures of.”

Pinkie’s family tagged along with her to lend support.

“We understand that you want to go through with this.” The eldest pie sister, Limestone, interjected. “But, do you think that there are great things to see in the water?”

“I hope so.” Pinkie holds up a waterproof camera. “This will even please Photo Finish.”

Igneous Rock Pie sand Cloudy Quartz arrive to help Pinkie out.

“The air tanks are full, Pinkie.” Igneous Rock informed. “You are good to go.”

Cloudy Quartz presents Pinkie another item. “That water looks like it’s a bit nippy, despite it being summer, dear. This wetsuit might help keep you warm a little.

Minutes later, Pinkie slipped into a teal full length wetsuit with lime green stripes going down the arms.

“Good choice of color, mom.” Pinkie praised as she puts on her swim fins. “I’m going to enjoy this.”

Pinkie straps on her air tank with a full face mask.

“There’s a radio in that mask.” Limestone informed. “That way, we’ll keep in touch with you.”

“Then, as they say in the elevator business,” Pinkie announced as she sat on the dock, “GOING DOWN!”

With camera in hand, Pinkie dives into the water. In the water, Pinkie was amazed with the environment.

“Are you receiving me, Family?” Pinkie said through the built in radio.

“Loud and clear, dear.” Cloudy Quartz replied. “Just be careful.”

“I hope she’ll be okay.” Marble said worryingly.

“Relax, Marble.” Limestone confirmed. “She went diving once with her nature lover pal, Fluttershy. She’ll be okay.”

Pinkie swims through the water. She took pictures of fish that swim through. Pinkie took a picture of the surface of the water. Suddenly, she saw a girl with peach colored skin, and brown and light purple hair. After sneaking in a picture of her and a swimming clownfish, she contacted her family.

“I think we have visitors.” Pinkie said.

“Visitors? Underwater?” Igneous Rock replied with confusion. “Are they mermaids?”

“No way, Pa. I think it’s Clarita Clownfish and her bestie, Cackle. When it comes to underwater environments, they have good knowledge.”

“Thank you.” Said the voice of a charming lady.

It turns out to be Clarita and Cackle who listened to the whole conversation.

“Hello, Pinkie.” Clarita greeted. “Nice to meet you.”

Pinkie’s mouth opened when she saw Clarita. Later, after drying off, Pinkie told everybody about her adventure.

“I got some pretty good pictures down there.” Pinkie chirped. “Clarita made a pretty good guide.”

“I reckon so.” Cloudy Quartz replied.

Limestone and Marble watched Cackle swim happily in the water.

“Cackle is one energetic clownfish, Clarita.” Limestone said.

“He sure is.” Clarita replied. “We both like exploring. We know the coral reefs of Wishing Waters than anybody.”

“I’d like to have a clownfish for a pet.” Marble cooed.

“You and many fans of ‘Finding Nemo’.”

Everybody had a good laugh. Back in her house, Pinkie looked at the pictures she took. Including that of Clarita and Cackle.

“I can’t wait to show my friends these pictures.” Pinkie cheered. She’ll never forget this day.

22. Help on the farm with Redward Rooster

The Apple Family are very busy getting the farm ready for a barbecue. Applejack and her friends hope to have fun during this event. The hard working farm girl straightened out some boxes in the barn when Granny Smith cane in.

“Good work, AJ.” Granny praised.

“Thanks, Granny.” Applejack replied. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work. But, it’ll be worth it.”

The barbecue grill was getting cleaned by Big Macintosh and Braeburn.

“Thanks for letting me help with the grill.” Braeburn said proudly.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac said.

Suddenly, there was a crash from the barn. Apple Bloom came out in a panic. “That came from the barn!”

Inside, there was a lot of boxes on the floor scattered around. Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, and Braeburn came to check on the situation.

“What happened?” Braeburn asked with concern.

“Applejack slipped on a rag, and these boxes fell down.” Granny Smith explained. “No damage done. These are them plastic totes we use for storage. And, they’re empty.”

“But, I left quite a mess.” Applejack sobbed. “It’s going to take a while to clean up.” She puts her hands over her eyes and started to cry. “It’s all my fault!”

Applejack ran off crying. Apple Bloom tried to call out to her. “Sis! Come back!”

Big Mac reached for his phone and put out a call. Later, Applejack stood near the trees as tears went down her face. Suddenly, a lasso zipped out of nowhere and looped around her.

“What the..?” AJ gasped.

“Hold on there, little lady.” Said the voice of a southern gentleman.

Out steps a young man with light tan skin with red hair sticking out on top, and he has a yellow nose, like a bird’s beak.

“I don’t believe it.” Applejack gasped. “Redward Rooster!”

“At your service, ma’am.” Redward greeted.

Redward used his rope to wrap around Applejack.

“What are you doing here?” AJ wondered.

“Big Mac called me.” Redward explained. “He said that you had some sort of accident.”

“Oh yeah. You probably heard.”

“I don’t think that it’s worth panicking about. Them plastic totes were empty after all. And, no damage was done.”

This calmed Applejack down a bit. “I guess I did get carried away a bit.”

Soon, Redward scooped up Applejack in his arms. “Let’s get you back to Granny.”

A chicken came out, and caught up to them.

“Hey, Cluck.” Applejack said to the chicken. “Nice to see ya’.”

At the barn, the mess was cleaned up, and all is set for the barbecue.

“That wasn’t so bad after all.” Granny announced.

“Yeah.” Braeburn added. “And, all is ready for the barbecue.”

Soon, Redward comes to the area with a bound Applejack in his arms.

“Sis!” Apple Bloom called out. “You’re okay!”

“I am.” Applejack calmly said. “Thanks to Redward here.”

Redward places Applejack down on a box. As Granny starts untying her, Big Mac walks up to the visitor. “Thanks for finding my sister, Redward.”

“Any time, Big Mac.” Redward replied.

Apple Bloom started cuddling Cluck. “You’re the cutest looking chicken I’ve ever seen, Cluck.”

Granny Smith finished untying Applejack. The farm girl stood up feeling relief.

“I’m sure glad Big Mac called Redward Rooster and Cluck to help out.” Granny Smith said.

Applejack looked at the young fellow, grateful for his help. “Me too, Granny.”

23. Feeling the love with Karina Koala

“I know I shouldn’t let it get me down, Rainbow.” Fluttershy sobbed on the phone. “But, with the weather going on like this, it’ll take me a while to calm down. Talk to you later.”

Fluttershy hangs up her phone sadly. She was planning for a picnic with her friends. But, it was raining. So there is no picnic. This made Fluttershy very sad.

This rain ruined everything. Fluttershy cried. I’ll be in a miserable mood all day!

Fluttershy started crying like mad. Her father came comes in with a straitjacket in hand.

“I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” Mr. Shy said with concern. “But, this is for your own protection.”

In a matter of minutes, Mr. Shy strapped the straitjacket on his little lady. She was a little concerned.

“Dad,” Fluttershy squeaked, “I’m not going berserk. What’s with the straitjacket?”

“You got so upset,” Her father explained, “I was afraid you might hurt yourself.”

Fluttershy realized what her father planned. But, is still upset. “I guess so.”

“And, I asked somebody to comfort you.” He called outside her door. “Come on in, Karina.”

In steps a gray skin girl with flowing red hair, big round ears, and a black nose.

“G’ day mate.” The girl greeted.

“Karina Koala?” Fluttershy gasped. “Oh my.”

“I’ll leave you guys alone for a bit.” Mr. Shy said as he left the room.

Fluttershy sits on her bed as Karina walks over to her.

“You’re dad told me that you got upset when weather canceled picnic plans.” Karina said.

“You’re right.” Fluttershy replied sadly. “I was starting to cry like crazy. I guess that’s why dad strapped this straitjacket on me.”

Karina placed her hand on Fluttershy’s shoulder. “You aren’t the only one who’s plans got altered.”

“What?!”

“Me and my bestie were going to have a picnic with our friends in Junglewood. But, a rainstorm ruined those plans. Everyone was very disappointed.”

Fluttershy was very surprised. “Wow. I hope you guys didn’t get soaked.”

“Only a little sprinkle, Fluttershy. But, we made it to our homes before the rain picked up.”

“Speaking of besties,” Fluttershy wondered as she looked around, “where IS Dab?”

Soon, a koala bear came into the room, and went to Fluttershy.

“There’s your answer, mate.” Karina answered.

Fluttershy enjoys Dab’s cuddles. Just then, light came from Fluttershy’s window. Karina looks out, and calls out to her friends. “Fluttershy. Dab. Look!”

They join Karina to the window, and saw that the sun came out. Fluttershy felt better that the sun was out. She got happier when she saw a rainbow in the sky.

“I’ll bet my friend, Rainbow Dash would smile at this scene too.” Fluttershy said happily.

“I’m sure of that.” Karina agreed, looking at the rainbow.

Later, after the straitjacket was taken off, Fluttershy visited Rainbow Dash to have a picnic, inside the living room in case the rain came back.

“I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before.” Fluttershy said.

“Probably you’re used to picnics being outdoors.” Rainbow figured. “At least Karina Koala and Dab helped you get over the weather problem.”

Munching on a sandwich, Fluttershy realized that Rainbow Dash does have a point.

24. A day in the forest with Sancha Squirrel

Author's Note

Pinkie Pie needs help when she was unjustly embarrassed. This is where Sancha Squirrel comes in. Especially since Pinkie is in a forest.

24. A day in the forest with Sancha Squirrel

At the Pie family home, everybody was starting to get worried.

“I wish Pinkie wasn’t embarrassed during our trip to the grocery store.” Marble said with concern.

“Indeed.” Igneous Rock replied. “The way Miss Harshwinny talked down to her would embarrass anybody.”

“Where’d Pinkie go to anyway.” Limestone wondered.

“I heard that she’s heading for the forest at Canterlot State Park.”

Cloudy Quartz soon got on the phone and put out a call to someone. “Hello, this is Cloudy Quartz. I’d like you to do me a favor.”

At the forest near the park, Pinkie was sitting on the ground, crying like crazy.

“I hate that Miss Harshwinny!” Pinkie sobbed as her hair deflates. “Why does she do this to me?!”

Just then, a fluffy squirrel came along and looked at the teary eyed party girl.

“Hi there.” Pinkie sadly greeted.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind, and tied her hands behind her back. Then, Pinkie was pushed to the ground as her ankles were tied together. She was then turned around as a female voice was calling her.

“Pinkie!” The voice said. “Pinkie! Snap out of it.”

Pinkie slowly opened her eyes and saw a girl with brown skin and flowing purple hair. When she saw that girl had light tan around her eyes and a squirrelly tail, she was surprised.

“Wowee wow!” Pinkie shouted. “Sancha Squirrel!”

“Nice to meet you too, Pinkie.” Sancha replied.

Pinkie Pie is still very sad. Sancha hopes to cheer her up.

“You’re mother called me and told me the whole story.” Sancha said. “Sounds like Miss Harshwinny is a hot head.”

“That’s putting It mildly.” Pinkie said, trying to feel better. “While we were shopping, she came to me and said that my parties are not proper.”

“Not proper?!” Sancha gasped. “Even we of Everwilde think you’re great in the party department.”

Pinkie was soon nuzzled by the very squirrel she met earlier.

“Wait a minute.” Pinkie realized. “You’re Sancha’s Little friend: Stumper!”

The squirrel nodded happily. Soon, Pinkie’s hair poofed up.

“I see that Stumper made you feel better.” Sancha said.

“I guess so.” Pinkie said with relief.

“Anyway, I called your family. They’re on their way to pick you up.”

Pinkie felt a bit of relief. Later, Pinkie was untied and went into the car where Limestone was sitting.

“You okay now, sis?” Limestone asked.

“I’m fine.” Pinkie answered. “Sorry if I got hysterical.”

“It’s not your fault.” Limestone places her arm around Pinkie’s shoulder. “You’d probably help Marble the same way Sancha helped you.”

Pinkie smiled knowing that Limestone. Meanwhile, Igneous Rock shook Sancha’s hand.

“Thank you for your help, Miss Squirrel.” Igneous Rock praised.

“You’re welcome.” Sancha responded. “I hope Pinkie will be okay.”

“Thanks to you and your friend: Stumper,” Cloudy Quartz said, “she will be.”

Soon, the Pie family headed for home, knowing Pinkie is feeling better.

25. Warming up with Lorna Lamb

Author's Note

Rainbow Dash is starting to doubt herself. Not if Lorna Lamb can help it.

25. Warming up with Lorna Lamb

At her house, Rainbow Dash is very upset about something that happened at a soccer game recently. One of her opponents got in her way, and used his power to knock her down so he can score. After the goal, he belittled her. He told her that she should be benched for the rest of the game.

That moment got Rainbow Dash worked up. She’s now afraid to get onto the field again.

“Rainbow.” Her father, Hothoof called out. “Are you all right?”

“No.” Dash sobbed. “That big bruiser really brought me down. I’m starting to worry about using my best moves. He’ll read them, and brutalize me.”

Tears dripped down her face. Rainbow Dash doesn’t know what to do.

“Maybe this special coach I invited might help you.” Hothoof said as he turned to call someone. “You can come in, Lorna.”

In steps a white skinned girl with poofy white hair, small ears sticking out, and a black nose.

“Lorna Lamb!” Rainbow gasped. “The athletic girl from Harvest Hills.”

“Hello, Rainbow Dash.” Lorna greeted.

“I figured that with Lorna’s help,” Hothoof explained, “you’ll get your groove back.”

“You think so?” Dash wondered.

“I do.”

Lorna picked up a soccer ball. “Come on, Rainbow. We have training to do.”

Later, at the athletic park, Rainbow Dash and Lorna Lamb train for another soccer game coming up. Lorna is at a goal ready to block Rainbow’s shot. Just when she was about to kick, she stopped and fell to her knees.

“Rainbow!” Lorna gasped.

Lorna rushed over to see the athletic girl, shivering with fear.

“What happened?” Lorna asked. “You froze.”

Rainbow looked at Lorna with wide eyes. Later, Rainbow sat on a bench as Lorna hands her a bottle of water.

“Sorry, Lorna.” Rainbow said sadly. “That moment came back to me.”

“You can’t let that moment rule your life, RD.” Lorna suggested. “I’ve heard that you came back from slumps like this before.”

Rainbow was surprised to hear that. “You did?”

“Correct, my spectrum haired friend. You are one of the best players the Wonderbolts ever had. You can’t let one moment rule over you.”

A sheep came over to be near Rainbow Dash.

“Hi, Flag.” Rainbow said. She pets the sheep who bleated happily. “I guess you think I’m awesome too.”

“Flag has faith in you.” Lorna said happily. “And, so do I.”

Feeling a little relief, Rainbow stood up, and picked up a soccer ball. “Let’s get back to work.”

Lorna smiled as she and Rainbow went back to the field. A few days later, Rainbow Dash seemed to be back on her game. Even the brute who gave her trouble was impressed. Seems like he was wrong about her. On the sidelines, her team cheered as Spitfire turns to Lorna and Flag, who were watching with the team.

“Good work helping Rainbow, Lorna.” Spitfire praised. “Some time with you and Flag is just what she needed.”

“Her skills have definitely improved, Spitfire.” Lorna said.

As soon as Rainbow scores a goal. Everybody cheered for her.

“Boo-ya!” Spitfire and Lorna cheered as they high fived each other. Rainbow Dash is definitely back on track.

27. Cruising with Merit Monkey

Author's Note

Sunset Shimmer needs some cheering up. A cruise on Merit Monkey’s boat should do the trick.

27. Cruising with Merit Monkey

Sitting next to a tree, Sunset Shimmer feels very sad. She was all set to see a movie with her friends. But, she had a problem.

Flashback

At the Canterlot Multiplex, the brutal Garble pushed Sunset Shimmer out. She saw that his face was beet red. And, he growled a terrifying phrase. “NO SHE-DEMONS ALLOWED!!”

Sunset ran away with tears in her eyes.

End of Flashback

“Darn that Garble!” Sunset said sadly.

Soon, Wallflower Blush came along, and saw her friend crying.

“Are you okay, Sunset?” Wallflower asked with concern.

“Not really.” Sunset answered as she stands up. “After what Garble did to me, my day got ruined.”

“Maybe a cruise along the lake can help you feel better.”

“A cruise?”

Later, Wallflower and Sunset are at a lake near Camp Everfree. Soon, a boat comes along to pick up the girls. The captain is a girl with light brown skin and dark brown hair shaped like a monkey’s head. There are big round ears on her head, and a long tail behind her. The boat stops at the dock.

“Ahoy, friends.” The captain called out. “Ready for traveling on the lake?”

“No way.” Sunset gasped. “That’s Merit Monkey.”

“That’s right, Sunset.” Wallflower added. “She runs a good ship.”

“Oh.” Merit said looking at the former baddie. “You’re Sunset Shimmer. Nice to meet you.”

Sunset and Wallflower came aboard the boat. Merit welcomed them.

“Welcome aboard.” Merit greeted. “Ready for a tour around Camp Everfree?”

“Aye aye, Captain Merit.” Wallflower replied.

“I guess I’m ready for anything.” Sunset added.

Soon, the boat sailed on. As the boat moved along the lake, the girls saw Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy and campers looking at a group of trees. The people see the boat and waved to the people on it.

“That’s quite a crowd.” Merit noticed. “Agreed?”

“Agreed.” Wallflower said happily.

“As long as the spirit of Gaia Everfree doesn’t ruin everything.” Sunset added.

Merit agreed with Sunset. “That’s a good point, Sunset.”

A monkey came along and went up to Sunset.

“Hi, little fellow.” Sunset said as she picked up the monkey. “You must be Merit’s shipmate: Compass. Right?”

Compass nodded. Sunset continues to enjoy the trip. Later, Rarity talks to Sunset.

“I wish I was on that boat Merit Monkey operated.” Rarity said.

This gave Sunset a shock. “You do?”

“Yes, darling. I wouldn’t even mind letting Compass cuddle me. I think that little monkey is adorable.”

Sunset giggled, knowing Rarity is right.

29. Getting crafty with Bree Bunny

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle walked over to Rarity’s house. They were asked by Rarity to help her with a project.

“What’s your sister up to today?” Scootaloo asked.

“She’s planning to build a small runway inside the extra space at my house.” Sweetie Belle. “This gives me and Rarity a chance to show off our looks.”

“Makes sense to me.” Apple Bloom figured.

When they entered Rarity’s house. The three girls saw Rarity and Applejack there.

“Hello, girls.” Rarity greeted. “Ready to give me a hand?”

“We’re ready!” The three girls cheered together.

Applejack stepped in. “Rarity and I already have the plans for the runway. Together, we’ll make this a dream come true for Rarity.”

Rarity blushed. One hour later, the wood was measured, cut, and nailed together. Rarity then looks at the runway thus far.

“So far, so good.” Rarity said. Then, she looks scared. “But, how are we going to finish it?”

Scootaloo gave her an answer. “I’m not into fashion. But, I had a feeling you would have a delay. So, I put out a call to someone.”

There was a knock on the door. Rarity goes over to answer it. She was greeted by an energetic pink skinned girl with white around her eyes, down her nose and surrounding her mouth. She has red hair, pink bunny ears, and a dark pink nose.

“Bree Bunny!” Rarity gasped. “What do I owe the honor of your arrival?”

“Scootaloo called and told me about this runway you guys are building.” Bree explained. “But, she told me that you hit a snag.”

“Indeed. I just don’t know how to finish it."

Rarity sits down feeling sad. Bree comes along to cheer her up. “Don’t worry, Rarity. I’ll help you.”

“Really?”

“Sure. Just show me the runway and I’ll see what we can do.”

Rarity and Bree walked back to the runway. Soon, the work continued. Bree helped strengthen the wood so that the runway won’t collapse. Applejack and Apple Bloom nailed some red fabric around the runway.

“Good work, Apple Sisters.” Rarity praised.

“Thanks, Rarity.” Applejack said happily.

Scootaloo and Sweetie unrolled some rope lights, and lined them along the runway.

“These lights are a great idea.” Sweetie said pleasingly. “Bree sure had some good ideas.”

Soon, a pink bunny hopped over to Scootaloo.

“Hey, Twist.” Scootaloo said to the bunny. “Good to see you.”

“Twist?” Sweetie blurted.

Bree came out to join the girls. “That’s my bestie, Sweetie Belle.”

“Oh.”

Later, the runway was finished. And, everybody was pleased with the results.

“Nice work, everyone.” Rarity praised. “You’ve all done splendidly. And, special thanks to you, Bree.”

Bree blushed as Applejack comes in with a bottle. “Carrot Juice, Bree?”

“Oh. Thank you.” Bree replied. She took a sip of the carrot juice. And, she likes it. “Mmm. Good. Taste fresh.”

“I got that carrot juice from a farmers market.” Applejack explained. “You know that stuff at them places are always fresh.”

“Works for me.” Bree said happily as she continues her tasty beverage.

30. Elegance with Fanci Flamingo

Inside her apartment, Sunset Shimmer is a bit nervous. She was invited to a party at Canterlot State Park. It’s one of Hoity Toity’s events.

I can’t believe that I was invited to one of Hoity Toity’s events at Canterlot State Park. Sunset thought. All of my friends are going to be there.

Sunset is getting very nervous. Suddenly, there was a knock on her door which made her jump.

“Sunset Shimmer,” Said the voice of a British lady, “may I come in?”

The former baddie cautiously opens the door. She then was surprised. The girl is pink skinned with red hair and what looks like a black nose. This surprised Sunset a lot.

“Fanci Flamingo?” Sunset gasped. “This is a surprise.”

“I’m sure it is.” The visitor said.

As Fanci comes in, Sunset is still confused about her appearance.

“I understand that Mr. Hoity Toity invited you to a party at Canterlot State Park.” Fanci said.

“That’s right.” Sunset replied sadly. “My only problem is, well...”

“You’re not sure how to behave among the elegant types.”

Sunset felt heat on her face. “It’s that obvious. Huh?”

“This is where we come in.” Fanci explains. “We’re going to help you be prepared.”

“We?” Sunset blurted. “You and who else?”

A pair of flamingos came up and stood next to Sunset. She saw them, and the confusion went away.

“Of course.” Sunset realized. “Swash and Kiva.”

After Sunset hugged the flamingos, Fanci made an announcement. “Let the education begin.”

Fanci’s training session may not have been easy. But, Sunset went with it. She learns how to speak appropriately to people. Rarity came by to act as a party guest. When Sunset gave her a polite greeting, Fanci applauded. Then, Sunset learned how to walk elegantly, and help people in a proper manner. Soon, at the Canterlot Carousel, Sunset looks at herself in a mirror. She wore a orange short sleeve top with a yellow vest. Her outfit also has a long red skirt and vermillion shoes.

“You look fantastic.” Fanci applauded.

“Thank you.” Sunset praised as she performed a curtsy.

Fanci’s eyes widened. “Excellent. Just like a fairy tale princess.”

Sunset blushed at the comment. That night, the party was on the way. Many people are behaving properly. Including Sunset Shimmer, who is talking to Spoiled Rich.

“I understand that Fanci Flamingo was your teacher in elegance.” Spoiled Rich figured.

“Yes, she was.” Sunset replied. “She has become a grand teacher. I couldn’t have come here without her help.”

“That’s good to know.” Spoiled Rich then looked at the flamingos. “And, it didn’t hurt for her to have Kiva and Swash by her side.”

Watching from a distance, Fanci and Rarity watched all of the action.

“Yes!” Both girls cheered as they High fived each other. Sunset is going to fit in nicely.

The weather is warm. Time for a swim. And, time for Ekaterina Elephant to come.

31. Swimming with Ekaterina Elephant

The sun shines in Canterlot City. But, the weather is warm. Even at Sweet Apple Acres, the heat is felt. Inside her room, wearing a red T shirt and blue denim shorts, Applejack lays on her bed, using a small fan to cool off.

“Hoo-wee!” Applejack blurted. “This weather is as hot as pot of chili fresh off the stove.”

Granny Smith came in with some news. “At least the weather is a bit cooler by the lake in the woods. And, with some of them trees blocking the sun, y’all get some relief.”

This gives Applejack some good news. “That’s a good idea. I’m sure some of my friends are over there too.”

“Then, why don’t ya join them. Our chores are done here anyway. Big Mac and I will hold down the fort.”

Later, carrying a bag with her, Applejack went to the lake to cool off. Wearing her swimsuit, she felt a little better already. She sees a little activity going on.

“Just like Granny Smith said.” Applejack thought out loud. “Some of my friends are here to cool off.”

After setting up her own area and slipping off her sandals, she headed for the lake. Rainbow Dash saw her coming.

“Hey, Applejack.” Rainbow Dash called out.

“Howdy, Rainbow.” Applejack replied as she high fived her spectrum haired friend. “Came to get relief?”

“I sure did.” Rainbow said. “And, it looks like we have company.”

Rainbow pointed to a girl with grey skin and flowing blue hair. She has big floppy ears, edges on her nose that resembles an elephant’s trunk, and a golden head piece on her head, like a tiara.

“I think I know who that is.” Applejack said as she calls out to her. “Hey! Ekaterina Elephant!”

The girl hears her name and sees Applejack coming.

“I thought you looked familiar.” Applejack giggled.

“Hello, Applejack.” Ekaterina greeted. “I was hoping to meet you.”

“Came to cool off as well as we are, I’ll bet.”

“Yes. I heard of this lake, and thought to spend time here. Some of your friends are impressed with my appearance.”

Applejack smiled, knowing she’s right. Suddenly, she was sprayed with water. That’s when Applejack saw a small elephant came to her.

“Howdy, Antic.” Applejack greeted. “Y’all are having fun too, huh?”

Antic trumpeted happily. Suddenly, Apple Bloom called out from a dock.

“Howdy, sis!” Apple Bloom shouted. “Watch this cannonball!”

Apple Bloom ran on the dock, jumped off, scrunched into a ball, and splashed into the water. The other visitors cheered for her.

“That’s my sister.” Applejack said happily. “She love making them cannonballs.”

“You should see Antic splashing in the water.” Ekaterina explained. “Now, that’s an impact.”

Antic ran to the dock, everyone saw her coming.

“Get clear!” Pinkie Pie called. “Here comes a big splash!”

Antic jumped off the dock, and made a big splash. The water flew off to a few people on shore. Applejack and Ekaterina went over to see if everybody is okay.

“Is everybody all right?” Ekaterina asked.

Diamond Tiara walked up to Ekaterina. Her hair was dripping wet. “My hair is drenched! And, my outfit is soaked.” She then smiled. “But, it’s worth it. I’m glad I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit.”

Antic came back to Ekaterina as Silver Spoon, who was also drenched, petted Antic. “Thanks, Antic. We needed that.”

At another chair, Twilight was reading a book when she got splashed. She was a bit annoyed. “Speak for yourself!”

Applejack and Ekaterina looked at Twilight, looked at each other, then giggled. It’s been one eventful day at this lake.

33. A fun walk with Dinah Duck

It was a cloudy day in Canterlot City when a light shower came along. Wearing a yellow raincoat, Twilight Sparkle looked at everyone trying to keep dry.

“I’m glad I came prepared.” Twilight said as she opened her umbrella. “I better get going. Sunset Shimmer is expecting me.”

Walking cautiously, Twilight hopes to meet Sunset at Rarity’s house for a sleepover. Pretty soon, the rain stopped. So, Twilight closed her umbrella.

“Look at these puddles.” Twilight said happily. “Pinkie Pie would have a field day jumping them.”

“I’d like to join her.” Said the voice of a Spanish speaking girl.

Twilight then saw a white skinned girl with bright yellow hair. She has a yellow nose that looks like a beak.

“Twilight Sparkle.” The girl greeted. “One of the brainiest people of Canterlot City. I heard about you.”

“And, I heard about you.” Twilight responded as she looked at the visitor. “You’re Dinah Duck from Harvest Hills.”

“That’s me.”

Twilight and Dinah went inside Sugarcube Corner for a break from walking.

“What are you up to?” Dinah asked.

“I’m meeting my friend Sunset Shimmer for a sleepover.” Twilight explained. “It’s at the home of our elegant friend, Rarity.”

“Isn’t Rarity and her sister out of town?”

“They went to Manehattan for the night. They asked Sunset to watch the house for them.”

Just then, they heard a lot of quacking at the place. Cup Cake came out with a bunch of ducks following her.

“Are these your little buddies, Dinah?” Cup Cake asked.

“Oh.” Dinah gasped. “They must’ve came in to avoid the rain. Any damage?”

“No. These little ducks are very behaved.”

The ducks came out and went over to Dinah.

“Aw.” Twilight cooed. “Slosh, Banana, Corn, and Butter look so cute. Fluttershy would love them.”

Dinah smiled, knowing Twilight is right. Later, the girls came back outside. It rained a little again. But, it stopped when they went outside. Twilight watched as the ducks walk into the puddles. She and Dinah couldn’t help but laugh.

“Those little ducks sure like the water.” Twilight commented.

“Of course.” Dinah said. “Ducks are water fowl, you know.”

Soon, the clouds were breaking up. Then, Twilight and Dinah saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. They and the ducks liked this sight. Later, at Rarity’s house, Twilight and Sunset enjoyed each other’s company.

“You were with Dinah Duck, Twi?” Sunset asked.

“I sure was.” Twilight replied. “Those ducks of hers are adorable.”

“I’m sure Fluttershy and Pinkie would love to be with that flock.”

Twilight and Sunset shared a laugh knowing they’re right.

34. A wild ride with Sandella Seahorse

Author's Note

When Rainbow Dash missed a boat ride, Sandella Seahorse is willing to give her a lift.

34. A wild ride with Sandella Seahorse

It was supposed to be a great ride across the lake to a nice picnic area. Many people went on a ferry to travel to the picnic grounds. Unfortunately, not Rainbow Dash. The vicious trio of Hoops, Dumbbell, and Score pushes her out of the boat.

“You ain’t going nowhere, Rainbow CRASH!” Dumbbell yelled angrily.

“All of your friends will miss you,” Score added, “but WHO CARES?!”

Hoops picks up Dash and dumps her into an empty garbage can.

“Right where you belong!” Hoops said angrily. “WITH THE REST OF THE TRASH!!”

He bangs the lid on Rainbow’s head as he runs to the boat. Soon, it leaves port, leaving Rainbow Dash behind. Hoops and company watch the port with angry eyes, knowing Twilight and company won’t see their friend.

“This stinks to high heaven.” Rainbow sobbed as she sits on a bench. “What’ll I do now?”

As Rainbow Dash sat on the bench crying, she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder. It was a girl with mint green skin and wavy coral hair. Her outfit is something from the Wild West. White top, brown vest, blue skirt, and brown boots.

“Howdy, Miss Dash.” The girl greeted.

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened. “Sandella Seahorse? I don’t believe it.”

“Believe it, darlin’.”

Rainbow Dash wipes the tears from her eyes. Sandella saw that, and got concerned. “What’s the problem, little lady?”

“I was going to go to a remote area with my friends for a school sanctioned picnic.” Dash explained as she starts to tear up. “But, old rivals of mine grabbed me and threw me out.”

Dash was crying when Sandella took some tissues to wipe the tears.

“Don’t worry, Rainbow.” Sandella comforted. “I’m sure Principal Celestia won’t take kindly to that.”

“How am I going to the picnic now?” Dash wondered.

Sandella lead Dash to something in the water.

“Your stagecoach!” Dash gasped.

“That’s right.” Sandella answered. “Just modified for travel. Come aboard.”

Rainbow Dash boards the stagecoach. And sits down.

“I have waterproof switches that can convert the stagecoach into a submarine type vehicle.” Sandella explained. “This way, you can travel underwater.”

“That’ll be interesting.” Dash said. “How are your little buddies, Kira and Serafina?”

The two seahorses popped out and splashed on Rainbow Dash.

“Hi, fellas.” Dash greeted. “I wondered where you were.”

Kira and Serafina went in front of the coach. Sandella flipped a switch. Soon, the stagecoach is sealed air tight as fresh oxygen is pumped in. Sandella gave her besties a signal, and the coach went underwater. In the craft, Rainbow is amazed by the scenery.

“Wow!” Rainbow Dash cheered. “You don’t get to experience something like this everyday.”

“Glad you like it, partner.” Sandella replied. “I know where that picnic area is. Hang on!”

The underwater coach sped up. Rainbow Dash was excited. Later, at the picnic area, Rainbow Dash was with her friends enjoying a delicious spread.

“I can’t believe that Sandella Seahorse brought you here, Rainbow.” Fluttershy said.

“Yeah!” Scootaloo cheered. “Those buddies of hers are definitely fast in the water.”

“They sure are.” Dash replied. “Hoops, Dumbbell, and Score are still shocked to see me show up.”

Everybody had a good laugh. Except for the three brutes. They’re still in shock.

“How do these guys know the folks of Everwilde?” Score asked.

“I don’t know.” Hoops answered. “And, I don’t want to know.”

35. Dental care with Andie Alligator

Author's Note

Pinkie is nervous about going to the dentist. But, is surprised that her dentist is Andie Alligator.

35. Dental care with Andie Alligator

A car ride into town should not be scary. But, for Pinkie Pie, it is scary. She’s going to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. But, is getting nervous.

“Why so jumpy, dear?” Cloudy Quartz said while driving. “The dentist is just going to clean your teeth.”

“I hope you’re right.” Pinkie said nervously. “I brush my teeth every day, you know. Especially after I have any super sweet snacks.”

“I know you do. Me and your father are pleased with your caring of your teeth. The dentist is just going to make sure of that. That’s all.”

Inside the dentist office, Pinkie is still a bit nervous. Gentle music is played over the loudspeaker to calm the patients down.

Not even the music is calming me down. Pinkie thought. I’m really scared.

Soon, a red haired male came out. “Pinkie Pie. You’re next.”

Pinkie Pie nervously walks into the office. She sees a chair as the man comes to her.

“Just sit.” The man suggests. “The dentist to examine you should be out shortly.”

As Pinkie waits for the dentist, she looks around the room. It looks a bit scary. Dental tools on the table, charts of dental care on the wall, and a calendar. Soon, the dentist shows up. She has green scaly like skin, dark pink hair, a long green tail behind her. She wore a red overcoat over a dark green dress.

“Hello, Pinkie Pie.” The dentist greeted.

Pinkie’s eyes widened when see saw the dentist. “I think I heard of you. Are you Andie Alligator of Junglewood?”

“That’s correct.” Andie said. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“What are you doing here?”

Andie Alligator gave an explanation. “I take care of teeth back home in Junglewood. So, I was asked to fill in for a dentist who came down with a cold. It’s just for today.”

“I guess it makes sense. Alligators do know about teeth. Their mouths are full of them.”

Andie laughed at Pinkie’s humor.

“Are your ready for your teeth cleaning?” Andie asked.

“I think so.” Pinkie said nervously.

“Maybe this will help you calm down.”

A small alligator came into the office. Pinkie saw it, and is very happy. “Marshy! Your little bestie.”

“That’s right.” Andie replied as she placed Marshy on Pinkie’s lap. “I heard that small alligators make you smile.”

With the small alligator on her lap, Pinkie feels relaxed. Soon, she opens her mouth wide as Andie gets to work. Later, at their house, the Pie Family talks about Pinkie’s dentist trip.

“Andie Alligator?” Limestone said shockingly. “That’s a surprise.”

“Especially for me.” Pinkie replied.

Igneous Rock looks happily at his energetic daughter. “You’re mother told you there was nothing to worry about. Your cleaning went splendidly.”

“I hope Gummy won’t be jealous.” Marble added.

“Jealous?” Limestone blurted. “Why?”

“Well, Pinkie did have Marshy on her lap.”

Pinkie giggled knowing that Marble does have a point.

36. Swimming elegantly with Saffi Swan

In a pool at their house, Rarity and Sweetie Belle are practicing for a synchronized swimming contest at the local swimming pool. Sunset Shimmer turned on the music, and the girls began. But somehow, they’re not that in sync. Seems Sweetie Belle is getting too nervous.

“Sweetie!” Rarity gasped. “What’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry.” Sweetie sobbed. “I can’t concentrate.”

Seeing the situation, Sunset turned off the music and pulled out her phone. “I think I know who to call.”

Inside the house, Sweetie Belle sat on the couch after drying off. She was still upset that she can’t keep up with Rarity.

“Still feeling sad, dear?" Rarity asked as she comes in.

“I sure am.” Sweetie sobbed. “I tried to follow your movements. But, I’m just too nervous.”

“Maybe I can help.” Said a female voice.

Rarity and Sweetie were greeted by a white skinned girl with light pink hair, a yellow nose, and features on her face that resemble a bird.

“Saffi Swan.” Rarity gasped. “What brings you here?”

“I’m here to help you two.”

“Huh?” Rarity and Sweetie blurted.

Saffi Swan explained her arrival. “Sunset Shimmer told me that you two are participating in a synchronized swimming contest.”

“That we are.” Rarity said.

“But, you’re not so synchronized with each other.”

“Especially me.” Sweetie added, feeling sad.

Saffi went to comfort her. “You’re probably nervous about taking part in this contest.” A thought came to her head. “You haven’t done something like this. Haven’t you?”

Sweetie Belle shook her head to say no.

“Me and my bestie are good at synchronized swimming.” Saffi informed. “We can help you through the rough spots.”

“Grand idea.” Rarity praised. “And, Where IS Poise?”

A swan came into the room, being next to Rarity.

“Aww.” Rarity cooed as she picks up the Swan. “You’re adorable.”

Saffi smiled as she got their attention. “Time for training.”

Soon, Rarity and Sweetie prepare themselves. Saffi helped them study a routine for the sisters to perform. They took it slow and steady, improving their synchronizing. Sunset Shimmer even helped out with some yoga exercises to help loosen them up. When, Rarity and Sweetie Belle perfected their routine, they were satisfied.

“We did it, sis!” Sweetie cheered. “We’re finally in sync.”

Rarity nodded. “Nothing can stop us now!”

Sunset and Saffi high fived each other. At the local pool, Sweetie and Rarity performed their routine in front of a crowd. After they were done, the crowd cheered. Spoiled Rich and Diamond Tiara, who are also in the contest, clapped for them as well.

“Looks like Rarity and Sweetie Belle became good competition for us, mother.” Diamond Tiara commented.

“Indeed.” Spoiled Rich replied. “I heard that Saffi Swan coached them.”

“Saffi Swan?! I don’t believe it!”

Then, Poise waddled nearby, and gave the duo a happy honk.

“I guess you’ll believe it now.” Spoiled chuckled as she spotted Poise.

Diamond Tiara saw the swan, and was surprised. “I could be wrong, you know.”

37. Fishing with Sashay Seal

Author's Note

The Apple Sisters are going fishing. And, Sashay Seal is joining them.

37. Fishing with Sashay Seal

Applejack and Apple Bloom we’re making their way to their fishing spot to catch some catfish for an old fashioned fish fry.

“Do ya think the catfish are biting?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Don’t y’all fret none.” Applejack said. “Granny Smith said that the fish are plentiful this time of year. We’re sure to catch something.”

“I guess you’re right. As long as we don’t catch any old boots.”

Applejack chuckled, knowing that her sister is right. When they arrived, they prepared themselves. They got their fishing poles ready, they loaded bait on their hooks. Minutes later, they are at the dock with their hooks in the water.

“At least the weather is cooperating.” Apple Bloom noticed. “The sun is shining, a gentle breeze, puffy white clouds, it’s perfect."

“I can’t argue with that, Apple Bloom.” Applejack added. “In your case, it’s definitely good barefoot weather.”

Applejack is right as Apple Bloom has on a yellow T shirt, blue bib overalls with the cuffs rolled up, and her sneakers are put to the side.

“Mind if I join you?” Said a young woman’s voice.

The Apple Sisters soon saw a light gray skinned girl with shimmering blue hair. She has white down to her black nose. And has what looks like whiskers on her face.

“I don’t believe it.” Applejack gasped, knowing who it is. “Sashay Seal!”

Sashay came up to the sisters. “Hi, Applejack. Doing some fishing?”

“Sure enough.” Applejack answered. “Me and my sister are determined to catch some catfish for a good old fish fry.”

“Big Mac is cleaning our grill even as we speak.” Apple Bloom informed.

“That’s great.” Sashay said as she drops her hook into the water. “Maybe we can catch some fish too.”

Apple Bloom got confused. “We?”

A seal came along, and started to nuzzle the younger Apple sibling.

“Where did this critter come from?” Apple Bloom wondered.

Applejack chuckled as this cute sight. “That’s Sashay’s bestie: Blubber.”

“Pretty cute name for a cute little seal.”

Blubber barked happily when Apple Bloom’s pole suddenly jerked.

“Hey!” She shouted. “I got a bite!”

“Don’t lose your grip, Apple Bloom.” Sashay called out.

“Don’t worry about my sister, Sashay.” Applejack confirmed. “She’s got this.”

Apple Bloom held her pole steady. She started to reel in her catch. Seconds later, a beautiful catfish was reeled in. Everybody was happy. Especially Apple Bloom.

“Look that this!” Apple Bloom cheered. “It’s a beauty.”

Applejack and Sashay were pleased with the results. Later, fish were cooking on the grill as the Apple Family were satisfied with the fishing trip.

“Great fish you girls caught.” Granny Smith praised.

“Thanks, Granny.” Applejack replied.

“I still can’t believe that I caught a big one.” Apple Bloom said with disbelief.

“Sometimes, some people can get lucky.”

Granny Smith then turned to Sashay, who was joining them. “I heard that you were surprised with your catch, Sashay.”

“I was.” Sashay replied. “I reeled in a boot. I was going to throw it back until Applejack stopped me. It turns out that there was a fish in it.”

Blubber barked in agreement as Applejack spoke up. “Somethin’ I picked up from a Yogi Bear cartoon.”

Everybody had a good laugh as the fish continues to cook. This has been one good day for fishing.

39. It’s party time with Tanzie Tiger

Author's Note

Pinkie needs party planning help. This is where Tanzie Tiger comes in.

39. It’s party time with Tanzie Tiger

Pinkie is planning a party for Sunset Shimmer. It’s to commemorate the day when she given up her vicious ways. One problem, she’s starting to have a hard time designing the layout.

“Something wrong, sis?” Limestone asked when she came in.

“Yeah.” Pinkie said sadly. “Creator’s block.”

“Does this have to do with that party you’re planning for Sunset Shimmer?”

“You called it.” Pinkie’s hair deflated. “I’m stumped.”

Maud came in, and joined the conversation.

“I heard about this party.” Maud said in her usual tone. “And, I called in some help for you.”

“You?!” Pinkie gasped.

“Don’t knock it, Pinkie.” Limestone assured. “Maud can sometimes have good ideas in helping others. Including you.”

Maud then called outside. “Come on in, Tanzie.”

In steps a tan skinned girl with orange hair containing black stripes. She has round ears sticking out and a long orange and black tail.

“A good choice for a helper.” Limestone said proudly.

“I heard of you.” Pinkie said to the visitor. “You’re Tanzie Tiger. Am I right?”

“In person!” Tanzie announced.

“Let’s leave these two alone, Maud.” Limestone suggested.

Maud nodded and joined her sister outside as Tanzie and Pinkie tried to work things out.

“I’m working on a party for my friend: Sunset Shimmer.” Pinkie explained. “It’s to celebrate her escaping her dark past.”

“I heard of how Sunset changed after the Fall Formal nightmare.” Tanzie said. “So, what’s wrong?”

“I hit a road block!” Pinkie said sadly. “And, I want this to be special.”

Seeing Pinkie feeling sad, Tanzie put her hand on the party girl’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Pinkie.” Tanzie assured. “This is where I come in.”

“Really?”

“Sure. When I’m not playing hide and seek with my friends, I like to stand out in a party.”

The two girls planned some of the details.

“We should set up red and yellow streamers.” Tanzie suggested. “This matches her cool looking hair.”

“Good thinking.” Pinkie agreed. “And, for the snack tables, we should lay down black table cloths, to match her jacket.”

“See, Pinkie. You’re starting to get your groove back.”

Pinkie smiled as her father, Igneous Rock Pie, comes in.

“Miss Tiger,” Igneous Rock said, “do you by chance have a tiger cub for a companion?”

“I sure do.” Tanzie asked. “Why?”

Igneous Rock held up a small tiger cub in his arms. “I found this little critter rubbing against my beloved wife. We both think it is adorable.”

He places the tiger cub down as Pinkie walks up to it.

“Hi, Tuft.” Pinkie greeted. “Cuddling up to my mom. Huh?”

Pinkie cuddled Tuft as Igneous Rock and Tanzie watched with admiration. Later, the planned party went well. People talked to each other, everyone admired the decorations, and rock music is played. Sunset Shimmer feels very good as she talks to the party planner.

“I can’t believe you pulled this off for me.” Sunset praised.

“I can’t believe it either.” Pinkie chirped. “But, I couldn’t have done it without help.”

“So, I was told. You had help from Tanzie Tiger and Tuft.”

“Yep. They know how to party.”

At another table, Snips and Snails heard the conversation.

“I don’t think we’ll ever get used to these Enchantimals and their besties.” Snails groaned.

“You will, partner.” Snips assured. “I am.”

Snails nodded as they continue to enjoy themselves.

40. A peaceful day with Hixby Hedgehog

Author's Note

It’s time for another young man of the Enchantimals to arrive. Here, Rainbow Dash is visited by Hixby Hedgehog.

40. A peaceful day with Hixby Hedgehog

Rising with the sun, Rainbow Dash slips on a purple tank top, bright blue Capri style tights, and her sneakers. Taking a sky blue mat she heads for the front door.

“Rainbow,” Windy Whistles, Rainbow’ Mom, calls, “going to that forest for yoga?”

“I sure am.” Rainbow Dash said. “These yoga stretches are how I get my legs in shape for soccer.”

“Makes sense to me. And, the quiet atmosphere of that forest is good for yoga occasionally. Your nature lover friend, Fluttershy, would feel right at home.”

Rainbow blushed. “I guess you’re right, mom.”

As Rainbow walks to the forest, she was spotted by the avid photographer, Photo Finish.

“Hello, Rainbow.” Photo greeted.

“What’s up, Photo?” Rainbow Dash said. “I’m just going to do some yoga.”

“Yoga? You?” Photo gasped.

“Sure. How do you think I prepare for soccer?”

Rainbow Dash resumed her travels as Photo watches.

“To each his own I suppose.” Photo thought.

Inside the forest, Rainbow unrolled her mat, took off her sneakers, and started stretching. With the sounds of the birds and the waterfall, the forest provided a natural soundtrack. After Rainbow stood up from doing a frog pose, she heard something that she didn’t expect.

“Good morning, Rainbow Dash.” Said the voice of a young man.

In steps a tan skinned boy with golden hair, pointed ears, and is wearing red colored glasses.

“Hixby Hedgehog.” Rainbow said happily. “This is a surprise.”

“I’m just as surprised seeing you here too.” Hixby replied.

Hixby walks up to Rainbow as she sits cross legged on her mat.

“What brings you here, Hixby?” Dash asked.

“I decided to take a walk through this forest.” Hixby explained. “The setting is very calm. Many people come to places like this to sightsee, witness the activities of animals, and sometimes activities like what you’re doing.”

“Can’t argue with that.”

“You know, I never knew that one of the most athletic girls of Canterlot High School would do something quiet like yoga.”

“That maybe true.” Rainbow replied. “But, sometimes I’d like to take things a little easy. Besides, this is how I prepare for soccer.”

Suddenly, Rainbow sees a hedgehog come up and crawl onto Rainbow’s lap.

“Hi, Pointer.” Rainbow greeted. “You come to be with me?”

Hixby looked with a smile. I guess my little bestie knows a kind soul when he sees one.

Rainbow Dash then closed her eyes to meditate with Pointer on her lap, feeling relaxed. Later at the soccer field, practice is over, and the players all prepared to go home.

“I can’t believe that Hixby Hedgehog and Pointer spent time with you.” Soarin Skies said.

“I guess they figured that while I do yoga,” Rainbow Dash figured, “I can be calm and quiet.”

Soarin looked at her, then smiled a little bit. “True.”

41. A social day With Lluella Llama

Author's Note

Fluttershy is nervous about a night at Camp Everfree, Lluella Llama is there to help her.

41. A social day With Lluella Llama

At a pizza place in town, Rarity and Fluttershy were talking about a grand event coming soon.

“Camp Everfree is hosting camp night?” Fluttershy asked.

“Indeed.” Rarity said. “It’s just not any camp night. It’s a celebration to commemorate the camp being restored to it’s true glory. Everybody is invited. Including you.”

Fluttershy got a little nervous. “Oh dear. I’m scared.”

This got Rarity concerned. “Scared?”

“I know how to act around people. But, I still get nervous. Besides, I don’t have anything nice to wear.”

“Leave that to me.” Rarity assured. “I’ll have a darling outfit ready for that night. Be sure to have a change of clothes and sleepwear to bring with you. Because, we’re spending the night there too.”

Back at her home, Fluttershy packed her backpack for a night at Camp Everfree.

“Hey, sis.” Zephyr Breeze called out. “Someone here to see you.”

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy gasped. “Is it Rarity?”

“No. But, she was sent here by Rarity.”

Fluttershy walked over to the door. There, she saw a girl with off white skin and curly light brown hair. She has two ears sticking out.

“Oh my.” Fluttershy gasped. “Lluella Llama.”

“Lluella Llama?” Zephyr said. “That fashion girl from Harvest Hills?”

“That’s me.” Lluella replied.

Fluttershy was still surprised to see this visitor.

“Nice to meet you, Fluttershy.” Lluella greeted. “Miss Rarity sent me to deliver this.”

Lluella gives Fluttershy a bag. The nature lover realized what it is. “It has to be that dress she was going to make me.”

Later, Fluttershy comes out. She has on a lime green long sleeve top with grass blade designs, a long forest green skirt, and sky blue shoes.

“Not bad.” Zephyr commented. “Rarity sure knows how to design clothes.”

“I guess so.” Fluttershy replied.

Soon, a llama walked over to say hello to the nature girl.

“Aw.” Fluttershy cooed. “Hi there, Fleecy.”

Zephyr Breeze looked at the animal with confusion. “Fleecy?”

“Lluella’s bestie.” Fluttershy replied.

“Are you ready to head for Camp Everfree, Fluttershy?” Lluella asked.

Fluttershy nodded, and the two girls and llama left for their destination.

“I’ll never get used to these Enchantimals.” Zephyr said with disgust.

Hearing Zephyr, Fleecy looked at him, and let out a big spit. It splotched on Zephyr’s face. This made Fluttershy’s brother nervous, and he grabbed a paper towel to wipe off the mess.

“Never mess with a llama.” Zephyr said out loud. “They definitely know how to spit.”

42. A different sleigh ride with Rainey Reindeer

Author's Note

Sunset Shimmer needs to get to a concert fast. Luckily, Rainey Reindeer is nearby.

42. A different sleigh ride with Rainey Reindeer

Sunset rushes down the street to catch a bus to Canterlot High School. Even though the school is closed for the summer, the stadium is set for a Rainbooms concert. Just as she made it to the bus stop, the bus already left. This left Sunset in a bad situation.

“NO!!!” Sunset shouted. “I missed my ride! How can I get with my friends now?”

Watching at a distance, Trixie Lulamoon, also known as the Great and Powerful Trixie, saw the situation and put out a call.

“Hi. This is Trixie.” The magical protege said. “I wonder if you can do me a favor.”

At the bus stop, Sunset was talking on her own phone. “Yea, Twi. I’m going to be late for the show. Hopefully, I won’t be too..”

Suddenly, she heard the sound of wheels coming her way. She soon had to end the call. “Listen, I’ll talk to later.”

Sunset saw an unusual sight. A sleigh on wheels approached the area pulled by a reindeer. At the helm is a tan skinned girl with brown hair, two ears sticking out, and large antlers on her head. The sleigh comes to a stop, as the girl greeted Sunset. “Hello, Sunset Shimmer. Need a lift?”

“Whoa!” Sunset gasped. “Rainey Reindeer. What are you doing here from Frozenwood?”

“I was just admiring the city when Trixie Lulamoon called.” Rainey told Sunset.

This got Sunset shocked. “You got a call from the Great and Powerful one?”

“Right. I was told that you missed a bus going to Canterlot High School for a Rainbooms concert. I believe you are part of the band.”

“Yeah. I’m one of the guitarists.”

Rainey then finished her explanation. “Anyway, me and my bestie have come to take you to the school. We know the way. So, come aboard. We’ll get you there fast.”

Sunset walked over to the sleigh. She then looked at the reindeer who was pulling the sleigh. “Hi, Marathon. Good to meet you.”

As Sunset boarded the sleigh, she was soon cuddled by two smaller reindeer.

“Jog and Gallop.” Sunset chuckled, knowing who the little ones are. “I forgot about you two.”

“Hang on, everyone.” Rainey announced. “Here we go!”

Marathon soon galloped off, pulling the sleigh as he runs. The wheels on the sleigh helped it roll smoothly. Sunset is indeed enjoying the ride. At the school, it’s thirty minutes until showtime and the other Rainbooms are waiting for their band mate.

“I hope Sunset gets here soon.” Twilight hoped. “Or, we’ll be short one player.”

“I have to agree with you, Twi.” Rainbow Dash added. “Her guitar playing is awesome. Especially when she and I play together.”

“I think Sunset is coming, girls.” Rarity informed. “Look!”

The girls soon saw Rainey’s sleigh on the way, and Sunset is in the sleigh waving to the girls.

“She made it!” Pinkie shouted. “I thought she wouldn’t let us down.”

As Sunset disembarked from the sleigh, she turned to the driver. “Thanks, Rainey. I couldn’t have made it here without you and your besties.”

“My pleasure, Sunset.” Rainey replied. “Me and my besties will be there to see the show.”

Giving a thumbs up, Sunset made her way to her friends.

“Sunset! You made it!” Twilight cheered as she and Sunset hugged each other.

“Thanks to Rainey and her little friends.” Sunset added.

“I never knew that someone like Rainey Reindeer would give you a lift.” Applejack said.

“Me neither. But, she and Marathon came through. And, I was very happy to share the ride with Jog and Gallop.”

Knowing who Sunset is talking about, Fluttershy got a little emotional. “I wish I can be with those little reindeer.”

“Rainey said that she and her besties are going to see the show.” Sunset informed. “I’m sure they’ll say hello to us afterwards.”

This made Fluttershy squeal with joy as the girls get ready to perform.

43. Let’s race with Larissa Lemur

Author's Note

When Lightning Dust is acting so sure of herself, Larissa Lemur shows up to put her in her place.

43. Let’s race with Larissa Lemur

Spitfire has a meeting with members of the Wonderbolts soccer team.

“We’re doing good so far.” Spitfire said, looking at her team. “We may have had a few losses. But, we managed a lot of notches in the WIN column.”

“Our team work really did good.” Fleetfoot said happily.

“Not only that, Fleetfoot. But, through hard work as well.”

Rainbow Dash agreed with her leader. “Each of us brings something to the team. That’s why we’re so good.”

“Yeah, right!” Said an annoying voice.

Pretty soon, Lightning Dust shows up. She is looking at Rainbow Dash nastily.

“What do you want, LD?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I can be as good as you, Rainbow.” Lightning replied. “I’m one of the best soccer players around.”

Spitfire steps up to confront the cocky girl. “So, you think you can best anybody?”

“I sure can, Spitfire.” LD replied.

Spitfire then has an idea. “Convince me. Meet us at Canterlot State Park in one hour.”

Later that day, Lightning Dust meets the Wonderbolts at the park. In the forest area, everybody sees a lot of branches and leaves set up as an obstacle course.

“Okay, LD.” Spitfire announced. “I had this obstacle course set up. Let’s see you race somebody through this.”

“Not a problem.” Lightning replied. “Which of you goons am I going to race?”

“I set up a special opponent.” Spitfire calls out for someone. “Come on in, Larissa!”

In steps a light lavender skinned girl with white and dark purple around her eyes. This matches her two toned hair. She has white ears sticking out and a black and white fuzzy tail in the back.

“Whoa!” Dash gasped. “Lightning is in for tough competition.”

“How so?” Sky Stinger asked.

“That’s Larissa Lemur. She’s pretty skilled in settings like this.”

“Thanks for the compliment, Rainbow Dash.” Larissa praised.

Larissa approaches the cocky one, who’s a little weary.

“I’m racing against you?” Lightning asked.

“That’s right.” Larissa answered. “Let’s see if you’re so cocky after this.”

The two girls prepared to race.

“Ready, girls?” Spitfire said

Larissa and Lightning nodded. Spitfire gives the signal. “On your marks, get set..., GO!”

They took off. They swung on branches, hopped on giant leaves, and climbed and descend down trees. The crowd cheered as a lemur came along.

“Hi, Ringlet.” Vapor Trail greeted. “Came to see your friend race?”

Ringlet nodded. The race went on. After jumping off the last branch, they raced to a finish line set up with Soarin Skies standing there holding a checkered flag. It was close, but Larissa crossed the finish line with LD just behind her.

“The winner is Larissa Lemur!” Soarin announces while waving the flag.

The crowd cheered as the racers tried to catch their breath.

“Well, the better person won.” Lightning admitted. “Good race, Larissa.”

They shook hands as Rainbow Dash watched with shock.

“I never knew Lightning is graceful after losing a race.” Rainbow said.

As Lightning left, Larissa stopped her for a moment. “You gave me a good race. How did you manage to catch up to me?”

“I did some parkour once in a while.” Lightning answered as she left for home. I’ll take you on next time, Larissa.

44. Dance lessons with Cailey Cow

Author's Note

A dance is coming to a diner. And, Fluttershy need help. Cailey Cow is ready to become her teacher.

44. Dance lessons with Cailey Cow

Fluttershy paces back and forth in her room. The diner where Pinkie Pie works is hosting a 50s style party. That party is going to feature some dancing. That’s why Fluttershy is nervous. She’s not sure how to dance 50s style. Just then, someone knocks on her door.

“Who’s there?” Fluttershy squeaked.

“Hey, Flutters.” A groovy voice calls out. “It’s Vinyl. May I come in?”

“Uh, sure.”

Vinyl Scratch steps in, and sees Fluttershy shaky.

“Something wrong, girl?” Vinyl asked with concern.

“I’m worried about that 50s night at the diner.” Fluttershy replied. “I heard there’s going to be a lot of dancing. And,...”

“You’re afraid you're not that good.”

Tears welled up in her eyes. “Yes.”

Vinyl comforts the nature lover, hoping to help her. “Don’t worry, Fluttershy. You’ll get into the groove. I already asked a partner to help you.”

“A partner?” Fluttershy said with confusion.

Vinyl nodded. Since it’s a beautiful day outside, the girls went outside. Fluttershy wore a lavender short sleeve shirt and black 3/4 tights as Vinyl set up a CD player.

“Are you sure I’ll learn these dance moves?” Fluttershy asked.

“You’ll be fine.” Vinyl replied. “I have some 50s style music ready. And, your teacher will help you too.” The gate in Fluttershy’s backyard opens. “Hey! You made it.”

In steps a marigold colored girl with curly light brown hair, two ears sticking out, and what looks like horns on her head. Fluttershy was surprised to see her.

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy gasped. “My teacher is Cailey Cow?”

“That’s right.” Vinyl replied. “I heard that Cailey is a mover and shaker. She no doubt likes to dance.”

“And, Vinyl said that you need a little help dancing.” Cailey added. “This is where I come in.”

“You’re going to help me?” Fluttershy wondered.

“That’s right. And, I brought along some extra support.”

A small cow came in and mooed happily.

“Aw.” Fluttershy cooed. “Curdle is adorable.”

Cailey soon stepped up to Vinyl. And, is ready to help the timid nature girl.

“It’s time to help you get moving.” Cailey announced. “Music, maestro. Please.”

Vinyl turns on the CD music. Music of the 1950s is played as Cailey turns to Fluttershy.

“Now, watch me carefully.” Cailey advised. “Then, follow my lead when you’re ready.”

Fluttershy watched Cailey carefully. She watched as the visitor from Harvest Hills danced to the music. Soon, it was Fluttershy’s turn. Following Cailey’s lead, she starts to get into the groove. Fluttershy is feeling happy, feeling the music flowing.

“You’re doing great, Fluttershy.” Cailey praised.

“Thank you.” Fluttershy said happily. “I guess I had nothing to worry about.”

Cailey and Fluttershy hugged each other. Vinyl and Curdle watched happily. Later that night, the party went on in the diner. Dressed in 50s fashions, everybody started to have fun, dancing, talking to each other, and just having a blast.

“I can’t believe that you were dancing fantastically.” Twilight Sparkle said.

“I was a bit nervous.” Fluttershy said in response. “But, I had a great teacher.”

“You’re talking about Cailey Cow. Right?”

Fluttershy nodded. Meanwhile, Sandalwood is having a conversation with Cailey.

“Thanks for helping Fluttershy, Cailey.” Sandalwood said with gratitude. “You and Curdle came through big time.”

“My pleasure.” Cailey replied as Curdle mooed happily by her side. “It looks like the nature lover found her groove.”

They look at Fluttershy as she danced with other patrons. Both are happy, and high fived each other.

45. Hair care with Leora Lion

Author's Note

A sudden rainstorm made a mess of Rarity’s hair. Time for Leora Lion to help her out.

45. Hair care with Leora Lion

On a rainy day at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and her family were watching the rain fall.

“I’m glad I’m not in that weather.” Applejack said with relief.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied.

“Only somebody desperate will be out in this weather.” Granny Smith added.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Applejack went over to answer. To her surprise, it was Rarity. She was soaked to the bone.

“Sorry to disturb you,” Rarity sobbed, “could I trouble you into letting me be here for a while?”

“Come in, Rares.” Applejack said. “Hurry!”

Rarity rushes into the house. Applejack looked very concerned.

“You look terrible.” Applejack said with concerned. “I’ll get ya some dry clothes.”

“I’ll get ya some towels to dry ya off.” Granny offered.

Later, Rarity changed into a red flannel shirt and blue jeans. And, her hair is a bit messy.

“Thanks, Applejack.” Rarity said with gratitude. “Not my usual style. But, beggars can’t be choosers.”

“No problem.” Applejack replied. “I always help my friends.”

“You’re clothes are hung to dry, honey.” Granny informed. “And, I called your place. This way, your sister knows you’re okay.”

“Thank you, Granny Smith.” Rarity said. She then became upset. “If I’d know the weather would be this bad, I would have brought an umbrella.”

Apple Bloom looked at Rarity, and got worried. “You’re hair is a mess!”

Rarity looked at herself in a mirror, and got scared. “Oh my. I wish I had my grooming tools.”

Big Mac came in to join the group.

“Something on your mind, Big Mac?” Applejack asked.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac said. “Seeing your friend’s hair being messy, I called in somebody to help.” He called out to the hall. “Come in, Miss Leora.”

In steps a girl with golden brown skin and wavy magenta hair. When Rarity saw two round ears sticking out, and lighter color around her eyes and mouth, she soon recognizes the visitor.

“Leora Lion!” Rarity gasped. “This is a surprise.”

The girl named Leora looked at Rarity’s hair, and was shocked. “This is what I was called for?”

“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied.

With bag in hand, Leora grabbed Rarity by the wrist. “This is definitely a hair emergency. To the bathroom!”

The two girls zipped off. Inside the bathroom, Leora started to wash Rarity’s hair in the sink.

“How did you get caught in the rain in the first place?” Leora asked.

“I was coming home from a grand movie.” Rarity explained. “But, a sudden rainfall came, and I got caught in it. Luckily for me, I was near Sweet Apple Acres.”

“Sudden changes in the weather can catch anyone by surprise.”

After the washing, Leora plugged in her hair dryer, and started drying Rarity’s hair.

“I take it that this is not your usual clothes.” Leora figured.

“Indeed.” Rarity responded. “My regular clothes were all soaked. Applejack loaned me some of her clothes after I dried off a bit.”

A lion cub came in and crawled onto Rarity’s lap. The fashionista looked at the cub, and was very happy.

“Hello, Snazzy.” Rarity cooed as she held on to him.

“Hold still, please.” Leora suggested. “I’m just about done.”

“Very well, darling. At least Snazzy will keep me company.”

Leora smiled seeing her bestie on Rarity’s lap. Later that night, Rarity is in her nightgown, getting ready for bed when Sweetie Belle is surprised about her sister’s experience.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” Sweetie said with relief. “I was worried.”

“You’re worried?” Rarity said. “I was scared when that storm came out of nowhere.”

“I’m sure glad Leora Lion and Snazzy were there helping you get over your hair emergency.”

Rarity breathed a sigh of relief. “Believe me, Sweetie Belle. So am I.”

46. Exploring the city with Ciesta Cat

Somewhere in Canterlot City, a bus pulls up, and people disembark. Among them are Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush, who decided to take a trip to the city.

“A whole day in the city for ourselves.” Sunset cheered.

“It is nice to do some traveling.” Wallflower noticed. “But, why do you need me to go with you? Wouldn’t Rarity be a better choice?”

“Rarity caught a cold after that rain we had recently. Lucky for me, you were available.”

Wallflower realized that Sunset made a point. “I guess it’s a good thing Leora Lion helped out a bit. Which reminds me. I made friends with another Enchantimal.”

This caught Sunset by surprise. “Really. Which Enchantimal did you meet?”

Suddenly, the green haired girl saw something that made her happy. “Hey, Ciesta! Over here!”

Sunset and Wallflower saw a white skinned girl with flowing black hair coming. She has cat ears, a long black tail, and what looks like whiskers on her face.

“Ciesta Cat!” Sunset gasped. “What brings her here from Harvest Hills?”

“I’m here to explore the city.” Ciesta answered. “Being a country cat, I’ve always been curious about city life.”

Ciesta then looks at Sunset. “So, you’re Sunset Shimmer. Wallflower told me about you. Were you really a unicorn from the magic land of Equestria? How did you change from a brute to an honorable girl? And,” She lifts one of Sunset’s legs, “Where did you get those boots?”

Wallflower giggled a little as Sunset tries to get over it.

“You’re pretty energetic.” Sunset said. “Aren’t you?”

“Sorry.” Ciesta replied. “Me and my bestie are always curious.”

A cat comes running by, and jumps into Wallflower’s arms.

“Hi, Climber.” Wallflower greeted, cuddling the cat. “You are so cute.”

As the day goes on, the trio explored the city. They saw a view of the ocean from a bridge.

“It’s gorgeous.” Sunset cheered.

“Not really for us.” Ciesta said, referring to herself and Climber. “Like the old saying goes, ‘cats hate water’.”

They look around an art museum. Everybody was entranced with the paintings, statues, and other works of art. Later, they have lunch at an outdoor cafe.

“This day turned out pretty good.” Sunset praised, enjoying a salad platter.

“I’m with you.” Wallflower agreed. “I took some pictures that would make Photo Finish jealous.”

Ciesta raised her glass. “Here’s to a good day in the city.”

“Cheers!” Sunset and Wallflower said together, raising their glasses as well.

47. Bike riding with Taylee Turtle

While riding her bicycle, Twilight Sparkle meets up with Taylee Turtle.

47. Bike riding with Taylee Turtle

On a quiet day in the neighborhood, Twilight Sparkle and her puppy dog, Spike, are taking a nice ride on Twilight’s bicycle.

“Isn’t it a beautiful day for a bike ride, Spike?” Twilight asked.

“It sure is.” Spike said happily. “It’s a great way to get some exercise too.”

“What do you know?” Twilight jokingly said. “The only exercise you do is either working the television remote control or going to the fridge to sneak a snack.”

Spike blushed, knowing Twilight is right. “Touché.”

As the duo traveled around the town, they said hello to their friends.

“Hi, Twilight.” Sunset Shimmer called out.

“Hi there, Sunset.” Twilight replied. “I heard that you and Wallflower just came back from the city.”

“You bet. It was more fun when Ciesta Cat and Climber joined us.”

Rarity came by to join the conversation. “Hello, darlings.”

“Hi, Rarity.” Twilight greeted. “It’s nice that you got over that little cold.”

“Thank you, Twilight. At least my hair was no longer a mess from that rainstorm.” Rarity soon felt loved. “Thanks to Leora Lion and Snazzy.”

Twilight and Spike resumed their ride.

“It seems that these Enchantimals and their besties are a great help to all of us.” Spike said happily. “Did I hear that one of them helped you relax on the beach?”

“You bet.” Twilight said. “It was Jessa Jellyfish who helped me there.”

“Speaking of new friends,” Spike informed as he points to someone nearby, “look!”

The duo saw a mint green skinned girl with teal hair riding a blue bicycle. When Twilight saw the girl wearing a bike helmet designed like a turtle shell, she realized who it is.

“Hi, Taylee Turtle!” Twilight called out.

The girl named Taylee turned and saw Twilight saying hello. “Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you.”

Twilight rode up to meet Taylee. She parked her bike, and went over to talk to the visitor.

“Riding your bike around town?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, I am.” Taylee said happily. “This neighborhood is fantastic. And, very different for me.”

“Probably because you’re used to riding on the beaches of Wishing Waters.”

“You got that right.”

Taylee took out what looks like a turtle shell and places it down on the ground. Spike closely looks at the shell. Suddenly, a turtle head popped out and scared Spike. He ran to Twilight, and hid behind her. She then sees the turtle.

“Hi, Bounder.” Twilight greeted. “Taking a rest?”

The little turtle nodded. Taylee was then cleaning her basket, which had some confetti in it.

“Where did that confetti come from?” Twilight asked.

“That’s courtesy of your party hardy buddy: Pinkie Pie.” Taylee replied. “She gave us a greeting with her confetti cannon. But, Bounder got a bit scared, which scared Pinkie.”

“Was Pinkie upset for scaring your bestie?”

“She was. But, I calmed that girl down. I advised her to be careful on how to greet visitors.”

Twilight felt a little relief. At Sugarcube Corner, Twilight and Spike met up with Pinkie Pie.

“I did get upset seeing what happened to Bounder.” Pinkie admitted. “But, Taylee Turtle told me not to worry.”

“I guess there’s a time and place for your confetti cannon greetings.” Twilight figured.

Pinkie agreed. “But, that moment was not one of them.”

Applejack and Apple Bloom meet up with Cambrie Cow at their home in Sweet Apple Acres.

48. Farm fun with Cambrie Cow

The sun is shining at Sweet Apple Acres as Applejack comes in from doing her chores.

“Penelope is well fed and groomed, Granny.” Applejack informed.

“Good work, AJ.” Granny Smith said.

“Anymore chores to do today?”

“Nope. Everything’s all done nicely. How’s about taking a rest?”

Applejack nodded and went into her room. She has a talk with Rarity on the phone regarding this interesting summer.

“I still can’t believe that we met so many citizens of Everwilde.” Applejack said.

“Me neither.” Rarity replied. “Some of them were quite helpful though.”

“And, some are grateful to us. Like when Sunset Shimmer took a ride with Preena Penguin delivering ice cream.”

“Indeed, darling. And, some of them helped us well. Like when Karina Koala calmed down Fluttershy after picnic plans got drenched.”

“Applejack!” Granny Smith called out.

The farm girl cut her phone call short. “Listen, Rares. Granny needs me. I’ll talk to you later.”

Applejack went downstairs to see what’s wrong.

“Have y’all seen Apple Bloom?” Granny asked.

“Probably off on one of her barefoot expeditions.” Applejack figured.

“Can you check on her please?”

“Sure thing.”

Applejack went to a pasture near the farm. And, there was Apple Bloom, dressed in a red short sleeve shirt and white overall shorts, playing with a pair of baby cows, one black and one white.

“Hi, sis.” Apple Bloom said happily. “These baby cows came along, and I’m keeping them company.”

Applejack looked at them with a smile on her face. “Them cows are cute. But, where did they come from?”

“They came from me.” Said a female voice.

The Apple Sisters saw a white skinned girl with black splotches on her body and flowing black hair. She wore a pink shirt and an a denim skirt. The most noticeable things on her were two curved horns on her head and a long white tail, similar to the tails of the cows.

“Well, what do you know.” Applejack said happily. “Cambrie Cow!”

“Hello, Miss Applejack.” Cambrie greeted as she and Applejack hugged each other.

“What are y’all doing at Sweet Apple Acres?”

“Me and my besties saw this area and figured we fit right in. Cows do like to roam pastures like this, you know.”

Apple Bloom soon looked at the little cows with a shock on her face. “Ya mean these are Mac and Cheese?”

Cambrie replied to Apple Bloom’s statement. “To quote your brother, Eeyup.”

“They are so adorable.” Apple Bloom squealed as she and the cows went to Cambrie.

“Speaking of besties,” Applejack realized, “where’s your big bestie: Ricotta?”

Suddenly, a big cow started rubbing against the farm girl.

“There she is, Applejack.” Apple Bloom answered.

Feeling loved, Applejack started petting Ricotta. Later, Apple Bloom slipped on her nightshirt while getting ready for bedtime. Cambrie Cow and those friends of hers sure fit in with our farm alright.

Apple Bloom climbs into her bed, turns out the light, and goes to sleep.

49. Family time with Pristina Polar Bear

Author's Note

When Pinkie is feeling down, Pristina Polar Bear shows up to cheer her up.

49. Family time with Pristina Polar Bear

Pinkie Pie and her family are having a nice quiet barbecue. Applejack and Big Mac agreed to cook the food.

“How is the grill coming along, Applejack?” Igneous Rock asked.

“All cleaned out, Sir.” Applejack replied. “All we need is charcoal and lighter fluid to get this grill a-going.”

“Excellent. Charcoal and lighter fluid coming up.”

Meanwhile, Pinkie is getting a little worried. Limestone sees this.

“Something wrong, sis?” Limestone asked.

“Maud is bringing Mud Briar with her to our gathering.” Pinkie answered.

“So? What’s wrong?”

“I’m still not sure about his feelings towards me. Sure, he can get along with all of you. But, what would he think about me?”

Pinkie started to feel scared. Her mother, Cloudy Quartz, sees this, and tries to comforts her.

“No need to worry, my dear.” Cloudy said calmly. “I’m sure that he’ll understand you.”

The youngest sister, Marble, approached Pinkie. “Sis, somebody wants to meet you at Canterlot City Park.”

“Who?” Pinkie asked.

“Wouldn’t give me an identity, I’m afraid.”

This gets Pinkie nervous. She soon arrived at the park. While figuring out her situation, Pinkie feels a gentle breeze coming along.

“At least it’s not too hot today.” Pinkie said to herself.

“I’m with you, party girl.” Replied a female voice.

Pinkie was then approached by a white skinned girl with white hair, big round ears, and a black nose. She wore a sleeveless blue dress.

“Pristina Polar Bear?” Pinkie gasped.

“In person.” Pristina replied.

Pristina gave Pinkie a warm hug. This made the party girl a little better.

“What are you doing here?” Pinkie asked.

“Your youngest sister, Marble, called me.” Pristina explained. “She said that you’re nervous about a guest coming to the family barbecue.”

“Yep.” Pinkie said sadly as her hair deflated. “Mud Briar, my next to oldest sister’s boyfriend, is joining the festivities. But, I’m worried that he won’t accept me for who I am.”

“Don’t be worried.” Pristina assured. “I’m positive that Maud will keep Mud Briar from bugging you.”

Pinkie’s hair poofed up again. “You think so?”

“I’m sure. Besides, I’m attending the barbecue myself. And, so are my besties.”

“Besties?” Pinkie gasped. “You mean Glacier, Paddle, and Diver?”

Just as Pinkie mentioned them, the three polar bear cubs came along. Pinkie giggled as she cuddled the little critters. “Hi, guys. My sisters would love to meet you.”

Seeing Pinkie cuddle her besties made Pristina smile. At the barbecue, the food is cooked and served by Applejack. Pinkie has a nice talk with Maud and Mud Briar.

“You have nothing to worry about after all, Miss Pinkamena.” Mud Briar said honorably. “Despite being different from the other members of your family, you are a charming and energetic person.”

“Not to mention that you’re a good drummer.” Maud added.

Pinkie felt a lot better. Meanwhile, her parents talk to another guest.

“Thank you for helping our daughter, Miss Polar Bear.” Cloudy Quartz praised.

“Indeed.” Igneous Rock Pie added. “Your words of wisdom is what Pinkie needed.”

“It’s my pleasure, folks.” Pristina replied.

The three of them look at Marble taking care of the polar bear cubs, and feel very happy.

“Look like Glacier, Paddle, and Diver found a friend in Marble.” Cloudy noticed.

Pinkie, Maud, and Mud Briar watches them as well. This turned out to be a good day after all.

51. A day of peace with Bren Bear

Fluttershy and Tree Hugger are making their way to a music festival to celebrate the anniversary of Woodstock.

“I’m totally ready to enjoy the show.” Tree Hugger said happily. “Groovy music and totally cool clothing, I think.”

“It’s a shame Rarity couldn’t make it.” Fluttershy said. “See would see some of those clothes and get some inspiration.”

“Totally.”

Tree Hugger has on a long sleeve yellow shirt with a red vest, a long teal skirt just below the knees, and her well known sandals. Fluttershy has on a tied dyed shirt, blue jeans and her own sandals.

As the girls head for the festival location, a female southern voice calls them. “Howdy, Fluttershy. Howdy, Tree Hugger!”

“Applejack?” Fluttershy gasped. “Is that you?”

“I don’t think it’s your farmer friend.” Tree Hugger figures as she points behind them. “Look.”

They saw a girl with light brown skin, a black nose, long way brown hair, and two round ears on top.

“Oh dear.” Fluttershy said happily. “Bren Bear.”

Carrying a blanket and basket, Bren walks up to the two groovy girls.

“Hi, girls.” Bren greeted. “Going to the music festival?”

“We sure are.” Tree Hugger answered.

“So am I. That why I have this basket and blanket.”

“Are you dressed for the occasion too?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yep. I was looking through my closet this morning. And found this ensemble.”

Bren’s outfit consists on a marigold long sleeve dress going down below her knees, and yellow flat bottom shoes.

“That’s totally cool.” Tree Hugger praised. “You look mondo groovy.”

“That’s so nice of y’all to say that.” Bren replied.

Then, they both saw Fluttershy cuddle a pair of baby bears.

“Looks like Zia and Snore are set for the festival too.” Fluttershy chuckled.

Tree Hugger looked at the bears, and looked at Bren. “Your besties. Right?”

Bren nodded. “That’s right, Tree Hugger.”

At the festival, the three girls sat on Bren’s basket enjoying the music. Soon, Rarity walks in wearing a long sleeve purple shirt with a white tie dye design, blue capris, and sandals.

“Mind if I join you?” Rarity greeted.

“Rarity!” Fluttershy gasped. “You came here after all?”

“Indeed.” Rarity sat with the girls on the blanket. “It is nice to have friends like Bren Bear and her besties, Zia and Snore, among us.”

“Thanks, Rarity.” Bren said happily. She pulls out some food. “Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches?”

“Thanks, girl.” Tree Hugger said.

The girls enjoyed the food and some milk to wash it down while enjoying the music.

“Good friends, good food,” Fluttershy praised, “doesn’t get any better that this.”

Rarity, Tree Hugger, and Bren agreed as they continue to enjoy their time together.

A lake is in need of a cleaning. So, Naddie Narwhal is ready to help.

53. Lake cleanup with Naddie Narwhal

One beautiful morning at a lake near Camp Everfree, Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy are on a boat with Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer joining them.

“Thanks for joining us, girls.” Timber praised.

“Glad to help out.” Applejack happily said. “So, what’s the plan?”

“As you know, me and Gloriosa do some cleanup duty here at the lake. But, this year, many people messed up this lake!”

“I can imagine.” Fluttershy replied sadly. “Cluttering up the lake and the shore with trash and other forms of pollution. It could harm any fish in this lake.”

“This is where you girls come in.” Gloriosa informed. “With your help, we can clean this lake nicely.”

“I guess this is why we’re wearing these wetsuits.” Sunset figured. “There might be trash near the bottom of the lake.”

“You got it, Sunset.” Timber replied. “And, we hired some extra help.”

Timber gave a loud whistle, and suddenly, a girl with off white skin emerges. She has mint green hair and what looks like a long horn on her head. Sunset looked at her with amazement.

“What’s up, Sunset?” Applejack asked. “You think you saw one of your unicorn friends?”

“Unicorn, nothing.” Sunset said. “I think that’s Naddie Narwhal.”

Fluttershy got a bit confused. “Doesn’t this Enchantimal live in Frozenwood?”

“I do.” Naddie said as she swam to the boat. “But, while I was swimming in the lake at Canterlot State Park, Timber and his sister called for me.”

“We told Naddie about the camp being cleaned up.” Timber explained. “We asked if she can help us with the lake.”

“I explored the areas that have to be cleaned. But, even I can use some help.”

“And, that’s where we come in.” Applejack added.

“Correct.” Gloriosa said. “The air tanks are filled. So now, it’s clean up time.”

Under the water, the cleaning is underway. Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Naddie have waterproof bags in hand. They start gathering cans and metal objects to put in the bags. On the surface, Timber and Gloriosa use a net to scoop up cups, papers, and other such objects, to put in their own bags.

As the divers continue their work, a small narwhal came along. Sunset sees the narwhal.

“Hi, Sword.” Sunset greeted. “Helping out?”

The narwhal nodded and used his long tooth to poke at some soda can rings.

“At least people are considerate in clipping the rings so that no fish can get caught.” Fluttershy noticed.

“I agree.” Naddie replied. “That would hurt any fish.”

Later, with the lake cleaned up, Timber and Gloriosa are greeted by Mayor Mare, Mayor of Canterlot City.

“Excellent job.” The mayor cheered. “The lake is clean and healthy for all kids again.”

“Thank you, your honor.” Timber said happily. “We couldn’t have done it without these helpful volunteers.”

Sunset, Fluttershy, and Applejack were humbled, knowing that they were praised. The mayor went over to Naddie.

“Special thanks for your help, Miss Narwhal.” The mayor said honorably.

“My pleasure, your honor.” Naddie said.

The mayor saw the little narwhal jumped into the air, then dive back into the water. “Looks like Sword is happy now.”

Everybody looks at the lake as it sparkles in the setting sun.

54. Nature Tour with Odele Owl

Author's Note

It’s time for a tour through a nature preserve. And, Odele Owl is the guide.

54. Nature Tour with Odele Owl

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Photo Finish boarded a tour bus, ready for a cruise around a nature preserve.

“I’m so looking forward to this trip.” Fluttershy said with excitement.

“No surprise there, Flutters.” Rainbow replied. “Seeing all kinds of animals always brings a smile to your face.”

“That’s right, Dashie. And, seeing these animals taken care of is a pleasant sight.”

“I’m glad that I come along.” Photo added. “With my camera, I’ll take some good pictures.”

The people on the bus anticipated the arrival of the driver. Soon, a cream skinned girl came to the scene. She has white hair, a yellow nose that looks like a beak, and lines around her eyes. Everybody looked at her with confusion.

“Who is this strange looking character?” Photo demanded.

Rainbow looked at her carefully. “I think that’s Odele Owl.”

“Odele Owl?” Photo gasped. “From Frozenwood?”

“I think so.”

Odele addressed the crowd. “Hello, everybody. The regular tour guide has a broken arm and can’t be with us. But, don’t worry. I’ve been asked to take over today.”

Odele climbed into the driver seat. Gave a whistle, and three small owls flew in and went over to her.

“What is with these birds that flew in?” Photo asked.

“I think those are her besties.” Fluttershy replied. “Voyage, Cruise, and Patrol.”

When everybody sat down, Odele started the vehicle, and the bus went on the way. As the tour proceeds, Photo starts clicking her camera.

“Ah, elephants.” Photo praised. “Magnificent creatures. Biggest land mammal ever seen.”

“No argument from me.” Dash added.

As the tour continues, Odele’s bird friends went over to Fluttershy.

“Oh my.” Fluttershy gasped. “This is unexpected.”

“Looks like my besties took a liking to you, Miss Fluttershy.” Odele said.

“Fluttershy has a way with animals.” Rainbow informed.

“That’s good to know, Rainbow.”

Photo Finish took some pictures of some tigers grazing in the grass. “Beautiful. Those stripes are a sight to behold.”

Suddenly, the bus stops. This got Photo a little upset. “Why has the tour stopped, Miss Owl?”

“Don’t panic, folks. Especially you, Photo Finish.” Odele informed. “We’re just letting this big fellow pass by.”

An ostrich walks across the path.

“Oh, yes!” Photo praised as she starts clicking away. “The ostrich. Largest bird in the world.”

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are impressed with this tour. Later, Rainbow Dash was given a picture from Photo before going home. It was a picture of Rainbow being licked by a giraffe. Her little buddy, Scootaloo, giggled a little bit.

“I can’t believe that you were kissed by a giraffe.” Scootaloo said.

“Me neither.” Dash replied. “But, it’s bound to happen to someone.”

“At least Odele Owl is a good tour guide. I’ll bet Fluttershy was tickled when Voyage, Cruise, and Patrol came to sit with her.”

Rainbow agreed. At her own house, Fluttershy was given a picture of herself with Odele’s besties with her.

“This is definitely one for my scrapbook.” Fluttershy said happily. “Wait until my brother sees this.”

55. Cooling off with Hedda Hippo

The sun is beating down at Sweet Apple Acres as Applejack slips on her two piece swimsuit.

“Hoo-wee!” Applejack hooted. “It sure is warm out today.”

“Eeyup.” Big Mac agreed.

“Well, nothing a swim at the lake near here can’t fix.”

Putting on her boots, Applejack packed a blanket and something to eat in her backpack, and prepared to leave when Granny Smith came into the room.

“Heading to the swimming hole?” Granny Smith asked.

“I sure am.” Applejack answered. “With weather this sunny and warm, a cool swim is what anybody needs.”

“Ya know, I’ve been hearing talk that there’s a hippopotamus sighted there.”

The farm girl got shocked. “A hippopotamus?”

“As Big Mac would say, Eeyup!”

Applejack walked the path that leads to a beautiful area near the farm. This area has a lake used as a swimming hole. As soon as she got there, she saw Diamond Tiara and her family already there.

“Hello, Miss Applejack.” Diamond’s mother, Spoiled Rich, greeted. “Or, as you would say, Howdy, partner.”

“Howdy, Rich Family.” Applejack replied. “Enjoying the atmosphere?”

“We sure are.” Filthy Rich answered. “Our little lady always wanted to come here. Probably because of this splendid view.”

Everybody looked at the scenery. Mountains, grassy meadows, all look beautiful.

“There’s something here that a little unusual.” Diamond Tiara said.

“And, what’s that?” Applejack wondered.

Diamond pointed at the lake. “That!”

Everybody looked out, and saw a small gray hippo swimming happily. This was a real unusual sight.

“I have to admit.” Spoiled Rich said. “That hippo is adorable.”

“Where did it come from?” Diamond wondered.

Having an idea, Applejack called out to somebody. “Hey! Hedda Hippo! Y’all around here?”

Soon, a light gray girl with magenta hair came out. She wore a blue rash guard over a lime green swimsuit. Her most noticeable feature is two big hippo like ears on her head.

“How did you know I’d be here?” The girl, Hedda, asked.

“I heard that there was a hippo sighting here.” Applejack explained. “When I saw that little critter out there, I figured that you’re nearby.”

Diamond realized something. “Of course! That’s Hedda’s bestie: Lake!”

The young hippo came to the group. Hedda hugged her bestie.

“I guess you two came here to cool off too.” Applejack said.

“We sure did.” Hedda replied. “From what I heard, this is one of the most beautiful areas in all of Sweet Apple Acres.”

Everybody agreed. The scene became lots of fun. Applejack swinging from a tree, landing in the water.

“Excellent, my dear!” Spoiled Rich cheered as she, Filthy, and Hedda watched all of the action.

Diamond rode across the water on Lake’s back.

“Diamond and Lake are having a good time together, Miss Hippo.” Filthy Rich praised. “We’re glad you brought that critter.”

“Thank you, Sir.” Hedda replied happily.

Everybody at the lake is indeed enjoying themselves.

When Sweetie Belle needs a partner for a sand sculpture contest, Sharlotte Squirrel is there to help.

56. Sand sculptures with Sharlotte Squirrel

Canterlot Beach is bustling with excitement. A sand sculpture contest is here. And, many kids are getting ready.

“This is going to be great!” Scootaloo cheered. “You’ve been looking forward to this. Haven’t you, Sweetie Belle?”

“I sure have.” Sweetie replied. “I have a good idea of what to do.”

Diamond Tiara, who’s entering the contest too, approaches Sweetie and her friends.

“I’ve seen pictures of that crest of Monster High you sculpted from snow, Sweetie Belle.” Diamond said. “But, wait until you see what me and my mother will do.”

“Spoiled Rich is helping out?” Apple Bloom gasped.

“I am.” Spoiled said as she enters the scene. “There’s nothing in the rules that say that an adult can’t provide support.”

“I suppose that’s true.”

“Good luck, Sweetie Belle.” Diamond said honorably. “May the best sculptor win.”

Diamond and her mother left as Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie came to the picture.

“I wouldn’t let them worry you, my dear.” Rarity comforted. “Just do your best.”

“Thanks, Rarity.” Sweetie replied.

“It’s too bad Rainbow Dash had to stay home with a sprained ankle.” Scootaloo realized. “She would support you too.”

Applejack stepped up to the girls. “Knowin’ that you need a grown up partner, I called in someone who’s good at this.” She then waved someone to come. “Over here, Sharlotte.”

In steps a light brown skinned girl with dark brown hair wearing a forest green swimsuit walk over to the group. Pinkie spotted two pointed ears and a furry tail on this girl.

“Sharlotte Squirrel?” Pinkie gasped. “This is a surprise.”

“Indeed.” Rarity agreed. “This particular young lady is a sculptor of snow. Not sand.”

“Maybe so, Rarity.” Sharlotte said. “But, I can adjust. Applejack heard that the contestants here can have a grown up help them out.”

“And, she figured you’d be a good partner.”

“That’s right.”

Sweetie Belle gave Sharlotte a sweet smile. “Thank you, Sharlotte.”

A little squirrel came running through the beach, and came to the group.

“Seems like your friend, Walnut, wants to help too.” Rarity noticed.

“She sure does.” Sharlotte said happily.

Later that day, Timber Spruce examined the sand sculptures. Among them, Diamond Tiara and Spoiled Rich crafted a throne with shells used to decorate. Sweetie Belle and Sharlotte sculpted a shark. The rich duo looked at the competition.

“Do you think Sweetie and her partner have a chance?” Diamond asked.

“It’s possible.” Spoiled Rich answered. “The details on that shark are down to the point. Sharlotte and Walnut are good at something like this.”

Timber Spruce made an announcement. “The winners of this contest are Sweetie Belle and Sharlotte Squirrel!”

Everybody cheered for the winners. Silver Spoon went over to Diamond.

“Aw.” Silver Spoon sighed. “You lost.”

“Maybe so.” Diamond replied as she hugged her best friend. “But, I came close in points.”

As Sweetie Belle received her trophy, Diamond Tiara went to congratulate her. “Good job on that shark, Sweetie Belle. Even, I like it.”

“Thanks, Diamond.” Sweetie happily replied.

Meanwhile, Spoiled talked To Sweetie Belle’s partner. “Congratulations to you as well, Miss Squirrel.”

“Thank you so much.” Sharlotte said. “I feel honored.”

Walnut came up to Sharlotte’s shoulder.

“Good work to you as well, Walnut.” Spoiled Rich added.

The wealthy mother and daughter team left for home. This left Rarity thinking. “I have a feeling they’ll return for another chance to win.”

“I’m with you, Rares.” Applejack agreed.

In the meantime, everybody celebrated Sweetie and Sharlotte’s victory.

58. Summer review with Felicity Fox

One week before school starts, and Twilight and her friends gathered at Canterlot State Park.

“Are you sure about this, Twi?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I am.” Twilight said. “I received a message online to come here, and bring all of you with me.”

“Who’s it from?” Fluttershy wondered.

“I don’t know. Nobody left a name to the message.”

Suddenly, a small fox comes along. Everybody is surprised.

“Hi, little fox.” Pinkie Pie greeted. “Where did you come from?”

The voice of a young lady answered Pinkie’s question. “I brought him here.”

This girl has light brown skin, red and orange around the eyes, and brown hair in pigtails. She also has pointed ears and a fluffy vermillion tail.

“I don’t believe it.” Sunset gasped. “Felicity Fox!”

Everyone was surprised to see her. Pinkie then looked at the little fox on her lap. “Then, you’re her companion: Flick!”

The little fox then went over to his friend.

“Did you give Twilight the message in coming here, Felicity?” Applejack asked.

“Yes, I did.” Felicity replied. “I gathered you girls together to discuss the summer you had with us of Everwilde.”

Felicity looked at all seven girls. And, made a decision. “Let’s start with you, Twilight Sparkle. How were your experiences?”

“Amazing actually.” Twilight answered. “When I was unsure when the summer began, Sela Sloth helped me relax with some yoga. While on the beach, Jessa Jellyfish really showed me how to relax.”

“Good to hear.” Felicity said as she chose someone else. “How about you, Rainbow Dash?”

“It was awesome for me too.” Dash replied. “I was running with Cherish Cheetah, surfing with Dolce Dolphin, training with Lorna Lamb, and watched Larissa Lemur put an old rival in her place.”

“You’re next, Pinkie Pie.” Felicity informed. “Did you have fun?”

“I sure did.” Pinkie chirped. “Many friends like Mayla Mouse, Sancha Squirrel, Tanzie Tiger, and Pristina Polar Bear put a smile on my face.”

Felicity smiled as she turns to the next girl. “How about you, Rarity, darling?”

“I had a few rough spots.” Rarity admitted. “But Patter Peacock, Ohana Owl, Leora Lion, and Bree Bunny were helpful indeed.”

“Good to hear that.” Felicity said. “Next up is Applejack.”

“I had a good time with a few of them.” Applejack said. “Gillian Giraffe and Haydie Horse helped me and my family around the farm. And, we had fun with Ekatarina Elephant, Sashay Seal, and Winsley Wolf.”

Felicity is happy to hear that Applejack has fun. “Who helped you out, Fluttershy?”

“Being a lady of nature,” Fluttershy said, “I appreciated that Raelin Raccoon, Zelena Zebra, and Lluela Llama shared my views.”

“You’re last, Sunset Shimmer.” Felicity informed. “How was your experiences?”

“All good.” Sunset said. “I loved it when Sage Skunk hung out with me. And Preena Penguin appreciates me helping her.”

“Friends,” Felicity announced, “this will be one summer nobody will forget.”

The girls agreed. They had a great summer, thanks to the Enchantimals and their besties.

It’s time to wrap up my short story collection featuring the Enchantimals.

Epilogue: Looking Forward

The final bell sounds for the day, the students left school for the weekend. Twilight and her friends got together. And as they head for home, they discussed something that was reported earlier.

“Wowee!” Pinkie chirped. “That’s sounds amazing.”

“I just don’t believe it!” Rainbow protested

“Believe it, Rainbow Dash.” Twilight replied. “Two knew areas have been discovered in Everwilde.”

“What are these areas, Twilight?” Rarity asked.

“From what I heard, these new areas are called Paradise Plains and Sunny Savanna.”

“This could mean new Enchantimals visiting us.” Sunset Shimmer said.

“And, brand new besties.” Fluttershy cheered. “Mmmm.”

“Sounds like someone is getting excited.” Applejack noticed.

“Can you blame her?” Pinkie added. “New friends does mean new besties to cuddle.”

From their office, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna discuss about the news of Everwilde.

“If the rumors are true,” Luna said, “this will make ten areas of Everwilde instead of eight.”

Principal Celestia smiled as she agrees with her young sister. “I’m looking forward to seeing who will visit us from Paradise Plains and the Sunny Savanna.”

Prologue: Learning of Everwilde

Author's Note

Time for installment 6 of “EqG Tales”. Featuring the Enchantimals.

Prologue: Learning of Everwilde

It was the last day of school at Canterlot High School. Twilight and her friends are all set for the summer. Just as they were ready to go to Sunset’s favorite coffee place, Mr. Cranky Doodle catches up to them.

“Girls!” Mr. Cranky Doodle calls out. “Wait up!”

The seven girls turned to see their teacher catch up to them.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Cranky Doodle?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

“I just got word.” The teacher answered. “The citizens of the land of Everwilde are visiting Canterlot City once in a while this summer.”

“EVERWILDE?!” All seven girls shouted.

“That’s right. And, the citizens of our fine city are going to welcome them during their visits.”

Later that day, the girls meet up in Rarity’s house to discuss about this unusual event.

“I’m a little worried.” Applejack said.

“You’re worried?” Rainbow replied. “I’m a little worried myself. I wonder if we’ll get along with these visitors.”

“I’m with Rainbow.” Rarity added. “These citizens of Everwilde will be a challenge indeed. We heard of these citizens, known as Enchantimals. But, I’m not sure if they know us.”

“Especially since they came from many places of Everwilde.” Twilight informed. “Wonderwood Village, Petal Park, Junglewood, Friendship Forest, Harvest Hills, Grazy Grasslands, Frozenwood, and even the underwater land of Wishing Waters.”

“Wowee!” Pinkie gasped. “That’s 8 areas all together.”

Sunset Shimmer nodded as Fluttershy spoke up. “This is going to be an interesting summer all right.”

The girls are a little worried about this new experience.

5. Fashion with Patter Peacock

Author's Note

Rarity need help with a dress. It’s fellow fashionista, Patter Peacock, to the rescue.

5. Fashion with Patter Peacock

Inside her home, Rarity looks at her dress she is working on. It is a long sleeve teal dress that goes down to just below the knee. It looks beautiful. But, Rarity is not so sure about it.

“This dress is missing something.” Rarity said to herself. “But, what? That’s the $64 question.”

Sweetie Belle comes in, and sees her sister getting worried.

“Are you okay, Rarity?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“I wish I am.” Rarity said sadly. “Octavia asked me to make this gorgeous dress for a dinner date at a lovely restaurant. She’s taking Vinyl with her so that she will have a wonderful experience.”

“So, you’re having creator’s block?”

“I guess go. I don’t know what I should do to finish this dress.”

Soon, there was a knock on her door. Rarity answers, and sees an unusual sight. It was a white skinned girl with lavender hair. She has what looks like peacock feathers on her back.

“Patter Peacock?” Rarity gasped. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to help.” Patter replied.

This has Rarity raise an eyebrow. Rarity, Sweetie, and Patter look at the dress.

“Looks like you’re stuck at what to do next.” Patter realized.

“I’m afraid so, darling.” Rarity replied. “Octavia is counting on me.”

Rarity is starting to cry when Patter has an idea.

“Since this is a cool color,” Patter suggested, “why not put some blue on it. As blue as my own outfit.”

Rarity’s eyes widened, realizing what Patter is talking about. “A great idea! How come I didn’t think of that?”

“I’ve been there. Sometimes I have a bit of creator’s block myself. However, I can always ask others to help me through tough times.”

Suddenly, Rarity felt something cuddling her leg. It was a small peacock. Picking it up, Rarity recognized the critter. “You’re Patter’s little bestie: Flap. Right?”

The peacock, Flap, nodded. Sweetie Belle fell in love with Flap. “He’s so cute. I wish I can keep him.”

“Sorry, Sweetie.” Rarity informed. “That little bird already belongs to someone.”

“Besides,” Patter added, “it would make your cat, Opal, jealous.”

Sweetie blushed, knowing Patter is right. Later that day, Octavia and Vinyl arrived at the restaurant. Octavia’s teal dress has vertical blue stripes on it. And, she added blue shoes to the outfit.

“Pretty cool dress.” Vinyl cheered. “I like those blue stripes.”

“You can thank Rarity and Patter for their combined efforts for my outfit.” Octavia replied.

“Patter? Patter Peacock? I heard that she pretty good with fashion as well as Rarity.”

Octavia felt good, knowing that two fashion experts worked well together. Thank you, Rarity. Thank you, Patter.

Author's Note

Fluttershy and Photo Finish get a surprise when they meet Cameo Crab.

12. Happy time at the beach with Cameo Crab

The sun shines brightly on the beach. Many people are having fun. Surfing on the waves, lounging on the sand. And, kids playing all around. In one area, Fluttershy, dressed in her usual wetsuit, looks at pictures Photo Finish took underwater.

“These are great pictures you took, Photo.” Fluttershy praised.

“Thank you, my friend.” Photo replied. “I’m glad that I learned of you snorkeling. Gives me inspiration for underwater pictures to take.”

The two looked at the pictures. They were pictures of many fish swimming, Fluttershy underwater admiring the fish and the environment. One of the pictures, however, was of another girl. She has peach colored skin, flowing red hair, and what looks like antennas on her had. She also has two crab friends with her.

“Who are these visitors to our waters?” Photo Finish wondered.

Fluttershy looked at the picture, sand is surprised. “Oh dear. I think that’s Cameo Crab.”

“Cameo Crab? Isn’t she one of those girls from an area of Everwilde called Wishing Waters?”

“That’s right. Cameo always looked at the bright side of things. Those little crabs are her besties: Chela and Courtney. Those three always have a positive attitude.”

“Thanks.” A cheerful voice said.

Fluttershy soon saw that Cameo Crab and her two friends were right behind her.

“Cameo Crab!” Fluttershy gasped. “We were just, uh, talking about you.”

“I know.” Cameo replied. “It’s good to see people not have any problems.”

“Did you come to the beach to see me?”

“I saw you snorkeling. Then, I saw Photo Finish with her camera, figuring that she was doing some underwater photography.”

Cameo soon saw a picture of herself and her little friends. “Great shot, Photo Finish.”

“Thanks.” Photo responded. “I guess.”

“Don’t ever doubt yourself. You’re a great photographer. And, from what I heard, your pictures always turn out swell.”

Photo Finish was surprisingly pleased. “Thanks, Cameo. That means a lot.” Getting some inspiration, she picks up her camera. “How about a shot of you, Fluttershy, and your crabs?”

The girls liked the idea. Fluttershy and Cameo stood together, each holding a crab. Photo took the picture. It turned out great. Something for Fluttershy and Cameo to always remember. Later that day, Fluttershy looked at the picture of her and Cameo Crab, along with Chela and Courtney.

“This is a great picture.” Fluttershy thought. “I wonder how Rainbow Dash and the other girls will react to this.”

Sunset’s morning at the beach became more peaceful when Blyss Bunny cane along.

20. Quiet beach time with Blyss Bunny

As the sun rises at Canterlot Beach, Sunset Shimmer walks on the boardwalk as she admires the scene.

“Sure is peaceful around here when there’s no people on it.” Sunset thought out loud. “Gives a wholesome feeling of peace.”

“Greetings, Sunset.” Said a familiar hippie voice.

Sunset turns and sees Tree Hugger wearing a flowery dress and sandals coming her way.

“Hey, Tree Hugger.” Sunset greeted. “Getting up bright and early?”

“You bet.” Tree Hugger said. “When the sun rises, many people wake up to enjoy the sunrise.”

“I remember when me and my friends were at the music festival, Rainbow Dash got me up early for some yoga. Afterwards, she and I saw the sun rising. That was quite a sight.”

“I agree.” Said the voice of a young girl. She was cream skinned with golden yellow hair. She also has rabbit ears and a pink nose. And is carrying a pink mat.

“Blyss Bunny?” Sunset gasped. “What are you doing here?”

“Since it’s dawn,” Blyss explained, “we came here to enjoy the beach. As you can tell by my mat, we enjoy yoga.”

“We?” Tree Hugger wondered.

“No doubt,” Sunset figured, “Blyss brought along her friend: Oatsy.”

A cream colored bunny rabbit hopped along to join the others.

“He’s adorable.” Sunset praised.

“Thank you.” Blyss praised. “Would you like to join me, Sunset?”

“I already have my beach wear on, and I can use my blanket for a mat. So, why not?”

“How about you, Tree Hugger?”

“I love to, Blyss.” Tree Hugger said. “But, I have things to do on my own. Ciao!”

Tree Hugger left the duo. Sunset and Blyss made their way to the beach. After doing their yoga, the girls sat cross legged, and enjoy the environment.

“I have to admit, Blyss.” Sunset said calmly. “This is very relaxing. Do you do yoga in other places besides the beach?”

“Sometimes.” Blyss answered. “There are other good places for yoga. Forests, mountain areas, near lakes, I hear that some people do yoga on the roof of buildings they live in.”

They sit with their eyes closed and enjoy the sounds of the waves. Later, Sunset meets Twilight at the coffee house.

“You spent your beach morning with Blyss Bunny?” Twilight asked.

“I sure did.” Sunset replied. “Blyss and her little friend, Oatsy, became good company.”

“I did some yoga myself earlier.”

“I heard.” Sunset informed. “You joined up with Sela Sloth. She must’ve brought out the calmness within you.”

Twilight gave Sunset a warm smile. “True.”

Author's Note

Rarity has a chat in her garden with the girls of Petal Park.

26. Garden care with the girls of Petal Park

Rarity sits down on her couch, reading a review of one of her outfits. Turns out that a beautiful gown with the colors of a sunset got mixed reviews.

“Some people have no taste!” Rarity protested. “I worked hard on that dress. Short sleeve with a yellow top, and an orange and red skirt. This just isn’t my day.”

“Rarity!” Sweetie Belle called as she comes into the room. “The garden is all good.”

“Really?” Rarity said with confusion. “Isn’t that garden a lot of work for one person?”

“I wasn’t alone. I had a bit of help.”

Rarity and Sweetie went outside to the garden. The flowers grew nicely, and Sweetie’s vegetable garden started to show results.

“This is beautiful!” Rarity praised. “But, who helped you. Apple Bloom didn’t come over due to being busy at Sweet Apple Acres.”

Sweetie Belle have a loud whistle. Soon, six girls that are even smaller than Sweetie presented themselves. They have features that resemble small insects.

“Oh my.” Rarity gasped. “I heard of these girls.”

“You have?” Sweetie asked.

“Yes. These are the girls on an area of Everwilde called Petal Park.” Rarity points out to them one at a time. “Baxi Butterfly, Beetrice Bee, Ladelia Ladybug, Cay Caterpillar, Saxon Snail, and Dara Dragonfly.”

“Somebody did some research.” Dara said happily.

“And, we thought Twilight Sparkle is the resourceful one.” Cay figured.

“I can learn a thing or two from Twilight.” Rarity added. “What are you six doing here?”

“We were passing by when we saw your sister working on this garden.” Saxon said. “So, we offered our services.”

“Makes sense. You girls do live in a flowery area in Everwilde.”

“That’s right, my friend.” Ladelia replied.

Soon, Rarity got concerned. “Where are your little besties? Wingrid, Pollen, Vine, Scriggly, Dawdle, and Swift.”

“Don’t worry, Rarity.” Beetrice assured. “Sweetie Belle brought out her old doll house, and our besties are resting there.”

Sweetie brought Rarity to her old doll house on a table near the garden.

“Look inside.” Sweetie suggested.

Rarity took a quick peek. She saw Dawdle just relaxing as Vine and Scriggly crawled around. Pollen, Wingrid, and Swift flew in and out of the house.

“Aren’t they cute?” Sweetie squealed as Scriggly the caterpillar crawled on her finger. “Hi, Scriggly.”

Winfred the butterfly flew on to Rarity’s finger. She was amazed by this critter. “Hello, Wingrid. You look beautiful.”

Wingrid blushed and flew back to his friends. The Petal Park girls came up to them.

“What do you think of our besties, Rarity?” Baxi asked.

“They’re adorable.” Rarity answered. “Just like the six of you.”

This was a great day for Rarity, Sweetie, and the girls of Petal Park.

Author's Note

Twilight Sparkle learns that everything doesn’t need a schedule. Jessa Jellyfish will teach her that.

28. Calm beach day with Jessa Jellyfish

The beach is bustling with activity. Twilight Sparkle watches the crowd while getting out her notebook.

“Let’s see.” Twilight said to herself. “There are a lot of things to do on a beach. I’ll watch over everything, then jot down a schedule.”

Sandalwood walks by and sees the intellect.

“Hi, Twilight.” Sandalwood greeted. “Whatcha up to?”

“Hi, Sandalwood.” Twilight said happily. “I’m just writing down a schedule for my day on the beach.”

This got Sandalwood a bit upset. “Girl, you don’t need to schedule everything. Why don’t you just take anything as it happens.”

“That’s not usually my style.” Twilight replied.

“I may know someone who can help you just go with the flow.” He sees someone coming to the beach. “Hey, Jessa! Over here!”

On comes a coral colored skin and light teal hair with a jellyfish hairpin on her head. She pulls a wagon with a fishbowl in it. In the fishbowl is a small jellyfish. Twilight was surprised to see her.

“You know Jessa Jellyfish, Sandalwood?” Twilight asked.

“I do.” Sandalwood answered. “This girl and her bestie, Marisa, like to take on anything that comes their way.”

“And, we don’t need any schedule.” Jessa added. “Sometimes, it’s best to just go for it.”

This left Twilight confused. “Do you think it’s a good idea?”

“Trust us.” Jessa assured.

Twilight thought about it. Then, decided to take her advice. Twilight got together with Flash Sentry to play a bit of volleyball against Sandalwood and Jessa. As they were having fun, Sandalwood takes out a spray bottle and sprays a fine mist of water on Jessa.

“Got to make sure you don’t dry out.” Sandalwood suggested.

Jessa spreads the water all over her body. “Thanks, Sandalwood.”

Twilight and Flash just giggled. Soon, Twilight was snorkeling with Jessa and Marisa right behind her. Twilight was amazed with the underwater scene. The three swimmers soon surfaced.

“This was a great time.” Twilight cheered. “Thanks, Jessa.”

“You’re welcome, Twilight.” Jessa praised.

The intellect was very happy to be with the two underwater travelers. Later, Twilight lounged on her deck chair as Rainbow Dash came by.

“Here’s a sight I don’t see every day.” Dash commented. “The brainiac not planning anything. Even for a beach day.”

“Sometimes, you don’t need to schedule everything.” Twilight stated while sipping a soda. “Just chill out, and relax.”

“I heard you learned that from Jessa Jellyfish and her little friend: Marisa. Right?”

“As Applejack’s brother would say, Eeyup.”

Rainbow smiled, knowing Twilight is just relaxing.

Author's Note

When a friend is sick, Fluttershy has an idea to help her feel better. Fluffy Bunny gives her a hand.

32. Flowery surprises with Fluffy Bunny

Fluttershy sits on a bench outside feeling worried. Rainbow Dash caught a cold, and has to stay home. This made Fluttershy very sad.

“Maybe you can get her a bouquet of flowers.” Sunset Shimmer suggested.

“That’s not a bad idea.” Fluttershy said. “Flowers can brighten any home. Even Rainbow’s.”

“Cool. There’s a greenhouse here in town. Maybe you can find something there.”

Fluttershy thinks it’s a good idea. So, she went to the greenhouse. And, is greeted by a female worker with lime green skin and yellow hair.

“Welcome to the Canterlot nursery.” The worker said. “My name is Citrus Glade. May I help you?”

“I would like to buy a bouquet of flowers for a friend of mine who is sick.” Fluttershy explained.

“We have a beautiful assortment in our greenhouse. You can make a bouquet of different colored flowers if you wish.”

This made Fluttershy happy. As soon as she goes in, she sees another girl. She has pale yellow skin and long teal hair. When Fluttershy saw that she has long rabbit ears and a cotton tail, she was happily surprised.

“Fluffy Bunny!” Fluttershy squealed.

The girl, Fluffy, turned around to see the nature lover. “Fluttershy. This is a surprise.”

The two hugged each other. Fluffy is very happy to see Fluttershy. “What brings you here, Flutters?”

“Rainbow Dash came down with a cold.” Fluttershy explained. “And, I came here to get a bouquet of flowers for her.”

“Oh my.” Fluffy gasped. “I feel bad for Rainbow Dash. You do have a point. Colorful flowers might cheer her up.” This gives her an idea. “Maybe we can help you pick out something nice.”

“We?” Fluttershy asked.

Soon, a cream colored bunny hopped over, and jumped into Fluttershy’s arms.

“Of course.” Fluttershy realized. “Mop.” She cuddled the adorable bunny. “You’re so cute.”

“That’s no surprise.” Fluffy said. “I heard that you’re kind to animals.”

“How right you are.” She gives Mop to Fluffy. “Let’s get picking.”

Later, Fluttershy arrived at Rainbow Dash’s house. She brought a bouquet of seven flowers, each a different color of the rainbow. This made Rainbow Dash smile.

“Thanks, Flutters.” Rainbow said with a weak smile.

“How are you feeling?” Fluttershy wondered.

“Okay, I guess.” Rainbow feels a little upset. “I just ha- I just h- ah- ah- ah- AH CHOO!”

Rainbow Dash grabbed a tissue to blow her nose. She was sad letting out a bad sneeze. “I hate being sick. Ah Choo!”

Fluttershy felt her pain. “At least Fluffy and I picked some good flowers for you.”

As Fluttershy started to leave, Rainbow Dash asked for a favor. “If you do see Fluffy Bunny and Mop again, tell them ‘thank you’ for me.”

“I will.”

Fluttershy leaves the room so that Rainbow Dash can rest. She’s very happy that Fluttershy and Fluffy did this good deed.

38. Clean up duty with Tamika Tree Frog

Author's Note

Twilight and Pinkie has work to do in a little housecleaning. Luckily, Pinkie called in Tamika Tree Frog for extra help.

38. Clean up duty with Tamika Tree Frog

At her place, Twilight starts to pace back and forth, panicking so much. Pinkie Pie, who was visiting, is starting to get concerned.

“Twilight,” Pinkie said with worry, “you need to relax.”

“I can’t.” Twilight shuddered. “I hope to clean up this place for mom and dad while they go shopping. But, I’m so overwhelmed.”

“That’s why I’m here. To help you out.”

“Even with your help, I don’t know how long it will take.” Twilight starts to shake. “We may not make it on time.”

Pinkie Pie steps out to make a call. Ten minutes later, the girls started to clean up the living room.

“I’m not sure how we can do this by ourselves.” Twilight said with concern.

Soon, somebody knocked at the door. Pinkie opened it, and rope came in fast. Before anybody knew what’s happening, the rope wrapped around Twilight. The brainiac was helped to her chair by Pinkie.

“How did this happen?” Twilight asked. “Is my pony counterpart here from Equestria?”

“Not really.” Pinkie replied.

Suddenly, a lime green skinned girl appeared. She has blue hair, red lensed glasses, and red hands. One look at the girl, and Twilight was surprised.

“Wow!” Twilight yelped. “Tamika Tree Frog.”

“Hi, Twilight.” Tamika greeted. “I’m at your service.”

“Say What now?”

“Pinkie called me and told me of your situation.” Tamika explained. “That’s why I’m here. I’m going to help you clean the house.”

“Yeah.” Pinkie added. “Three people can do a good clean up job.”

“But,” Twilight interrupted, “why am I all tied up?”

“Pinkie said that you were getting nervous.” Tamika said. “I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

Twilight was starting to feel a little better. “I guess that makes sense.”

Pinkie walks over to her brainy friend. “Are you going to be okay?”

“I think so. I’ll feel much better when these ropes are off me.”

Minutes later, Twilight was unbound and feeling calm. Soon, her puppy, Spike, came into the room with a tree frog by his side.

“Hey, Spike.” Twilight greeted. “I see your spending time with Burst.”

“Burst?” Spike yelped as he looks at the frog. “That’s your name?”

Burst nodded as the three girls looked with adoration. As the day goes on, the girls cleaned the house. Pinkie was right, Tamika became a great help. Later, Twilight Velvet and Night Light were happy with the results.

“Good work, Twilight.” Twilight Velvet praised. “You did a good job.”

"Thanks, mom.” Twilight said with relief. “But, it wasn’t possible without help from my friends.”

“Twilight is right, Pinkie Pie.” Night Light added. “You and Tamika Tree Frog are a great help.” Tamika’s frog buddy hopped on a table near him. “You too, Burst.”

Twilight Sparkle felt a big burst of relief. We need to get along with these guys from Everwilde more often.

50. Tribal fashion with Tadley Tiger

Author's Note

Sassy Saddles displays a new jungle themed fashion line. She had a little help from Tadley Tiger.

50. Tribal fashion with Tadley Tiger

Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, and Rainbow Dash made their way to the Canterlot Carousel in the city.

“Why are we going here, Rarity?” Rainbow Dash asked. “You know I’m not one for fashion.”

“I’m with Rainbow.” Sunset added. “This is not my bag either.”

“I heard that Sassy Saddles has an interesting line at the store.” Rarity explained. “And, it’s a line that even you two would be interested in.”

Sunset and Rainbow looked at each other with skepticism. Inside the store, the three friends are greeted by Sassy Saddles.

“Hello, Rarity.” Sassy greeted.

“Hello, Sassy, darling.” Rarity replied. “It’s good to see you.”

“I see you brought Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash with you.”

“Yes. I told them that even they would be interested in your new fashion line.”

“Yeah, right.” Sunset and Rainbow replied together.

Suddenly, three mannequins are rolled out, each with an outfit for the clothing line. Each outfit is different. They have animal prints, rip designs, and tribal jewels.

“They’re amazing!” Rarity cheered.

“I have to admit.” Rainbow said. “I’m not one for fashions. But, these clothes look cool.”

“So does that girl who brought them here.” Sunset added. “Check it out!”

The girl in question has white skin with black stripes. She has pink hair done in a long ponytail, wears a teal tribal outfit, and a sparkling head piece.

“Oh my!” Rarity gasped. “Tadley Tiger!”

The girl named Tadley walked over to the group. “Hello, Rarity. A pleasure to meet you.”

The fashionista blushed, knowing she is praised.

“Hey, Sassy.” Rainbow interrupted. “Did Tadley help you out? These clothes are something she would be involved with.”

“That’s right.” Sassy answered. “Miss Tadley Tiger came in to look around. I was fascinated with her outfit.”

“My clothes are the inspiration behind Sassy’s new line.” Tadley added.

“Including the jewels. Right?” Rarity asked.

“You got the idea.”

Sunset looked at the clothes. “Those jewels are unique, I’ll say that.”

Rainbow Dash was approached by a white tiger. The other girls, except Tadley, got a bit nervous.

“Hi, Kitty.” Dash greeted.

Sunset got a bit confused. “Kitty?”

“Of course.” Sassy realized. “Tadley’s bestie.”

Everybody was relieved that the tiger is tame. Later, Rarity and the other girls met at her house. Fluttershy joined them.

“I wish I was there.” Fluttershy said. “I would’ve loved to meet Tadley Tiger and Kitty.”

“Probably want to meet Kitty more than Tadley.” Sunset figured.

The nature lover blushed. “Guilty as charged.”

The four giggled knowing that Sunset has a point.

52. Art appreciation with Pawbry Polar Bear

Author's Note

Twilight meets a talented sculptor at a museum. She is surprised to learn that this artist’s known as Pawbry Polar Bear.

52. Art appreciation with Pawbry Polar Bear

“I’m sure glad you can come with me to the art museum, girls.” Twilight Sparkle chirped.

“Pinkie and I don’t have anything else to do today.” Rainbow Dash grumbled.

Dash is right. She was going to go to a soccer game with Spitfire so they can get ideas for new moves. But, the game got cancelled due to a wild lion from a zoo on the loose.

Pinkie Pie planned to go to the local swimming pool. But, the place is closed due to emergency cleaning procedures. This left both girls with nothing to do.

Inside the museum, the three girls look around. They saw a painting of a rainbow across the sky at night.

“Hey, this isn’t that bad.” Dash admitted. “Whoever painted this picture has a good eye.”

“That’s the spirit!” Twilight cheered.

Twilight and her friends soon saw a glittering statue of a mountain. It’s made from beautiful jade. Pinkie was surprised to see her sister Maud at the statue.

“What are you doing here, Maud?” Pinkie asked.

“Looking at this statue, of course.” Maud answered in her usual tone. “I heard of this jade mountain, and had to look at it.”

“It is impressive, Maud.” Twilight added. “The sculptor must be good to carve this.”

“Thank you, Miss Sparkle.” Said a young lady’s voice.

The person who just spoke has white skin, flowing blue hair and a black nose.

“Wow!” Twilight cheered. “Pawbry Polar Bear!”

“I heard of her.” Rainbow realized. “She’s a talented ice sculptor from Frozenwood.”

“I’m glad that my reputation is known to even a proud member of the Wonderbolts.” Pawbry praised.

“You know of the Wonderbolts soccer team?”

“Yes. I was at attendance at one of your soccer games.”

Rainbow Dash blushed as Maud spoke up. “What made you decide to sculpt jade instead of ice?”

“Because ice would melt too fast here.” Pawbry answered.

“She has a point.” Twilight figured. “The only place for ice sculptures is at an event during winter time.”

Pinkie spoke up next. “Did you have help from your bestie: Melt?”

“Melt is a great help to me.” Pawbry replied.

Twilight then noticed a polar bear cub walking next to her. She picked it up and started to cuddle it. “Aw. Melt is so adorable.”

Everybody smiled at the sight of Twilight cuddling Melt. Later, at Pinkie’s house, her family were surprised to hear Pinkie’s day at the museum.

“You Met Pawbry Polar Bear?” Limestone shouted. “Talk about a brush with greatness.”

“Especially when her little friend, Melt, is with her.” Cloudy Quartz added.

Pinkie giggled knowing that her mother is right.

Author's Note

After being on stage, the Rainbooms were graced by an appearance of Starling Starfish.

57. Backstage with Starling Starfish

At an aquarium in Canterlot City, the Rainbooms finished putting on a show. The performance was to raise money for an orphanage that needs repairs. Backstage, the girls relaxed, thinking about their gig.

“That was awesome!” Rainbow Dash cheered. “The crowd was cheering for us.”

“Don’t forget,” Fluttershy reminded, “many of the animals here were performing here too.”

“She’s right.” Pinkie added. “There were dolphins, seals, and other fun animals.”

Rainbow Dash realized that they were right. “Oh yeah. Those dolphins and other marine animals were the real stars of this show. We’re just back up.”

Everybody had a good laugh. Sunset then thought of something. “The big surprise for me were those two starfish that tagged along with the dolphins.”

“You’re right, Sunset.” Applejack said. “I wonder where they came from.”

“They came from me.” A young girl’s voice said.

The girls turned, and saw a lime green skinned girl with coral colored hair. And, she wore a pink tank top and a starfish shaped skirt.

“Starling Starfish!” Twilight gasped. “This is a surprise.”

“I’m sure it is.” Starling replied.

The other girls were surprised to see this visitor.

“What do we owe the honor of this arrival?” Rarity wondered.

“I was just finishing cleaning some of the tanks here when I heard your music.” Starling explained. “I decided to check it out.”

“You were cleaning the tanks from the inside?” Pinkie said with shock. “Without an air tank?”

“She is a starfish.” Applejack informed. “She can breathe underwater.”

“That’s right, Applejack.” Starling praised.

“So, you saw our show.” Twilight figured.

“Yes. I even had my besties join the fun.”

Rainbow Dash soon had a thought. “You mean that was Idyl and Rypple riding the dolphins?”

“That’s right, Dash.” Starling brought in a small tank with two starfish happy in it. “And, here they are.”

The girls looked at the starfish, and are astounded.

“Those starfish are so cute.” Pinkie chirped.

“I agree.” Fluttershy added.

“You’re an entertainer as well.” Sunset figured. “Aren’t you?”

“I am.” Starling replied. “Since I’m here, I was asked to help clean some of the tanks that weren’t used.”

“Any idea if you would perform here?” Twilight asked.

“As a matter of fact, Yes! Me and my besties are going on stage in a few minutes to ride the dolphins.”

Later, Starling and her besties performed in the tank. The dolphins pick them up once in a while and give them a ride. The Rainbooms are in the audience, and so is Juniper Montage, getting shots of the show.

“Wow!” Juniper cheered as she narrates her film. “Starling Starfish is amazing. I’d like to see her and her little buddies, Idyl and Rypple join the Rainbooms in a performance.”

Twilight and her friends chuckled, knowing that Juniper has a point.
