Chapter 20- Vending Lady Gets a Say

"Where's Canterlot?" Asked TV-girl.

"Waaaaaay north of Ponyville. About a three-day trip on hoof, one day and a half if we had a..... um...." Twilight trailed off.

"Nothing short of a clown car!" Rekka chimed.

"Sounds about right." Twilight said.

Yuuki and Nagare were much too busy kissing. They would have collapsed onto the floor without a care.

"Alright, alright. You two save the make-out sessions for later." Rainbow said, pushing them apart.

"Awww." They whined.

"Rainbow Dash, what's a make-out session?" Asked Scootaloo.

Everyone, absolutely everyone stopped dead in their tracks. It was an eternity before a mouth dared to move.

"D-D-Di-Did sh-she j-just ask TH-TH-THAT qu-question?" Koto stammered.

"Y-Yeah......." Rainbow answered.

"U-Um, Scoots........ I don't think you need to know." Rekka said.

"Eeyup." Big Mac nodded.

Reality slapped everyone upside the head thanks to one thing: a crying Ocean Flame.

"Alright, who is holding the baby?" Tenmei asked.

"I am." Pinkie said, placing the foal back into Koto's saddlebag. The filly was still crying.

Rekka took the filly and began to cradle her.

"Rock-a-by baby on the treetops...." He hummed.

The filly fell asleep. Once he finished singing, Rekka put the foal into the saddlebag once more.

"Couldn't we just teleport to Canterlot?" Said vending lady.

"Yes. At any rate, the Quartet won't follow us then." Twilight said, writing a letter to Celestia.

"But when will we teleport?" Asked batteryman.

"Tomorrow, after lunch." Twilight replied. "Spike, send the letter to Celestia."

"Okay." Spike said, burning the letter.

"She said send it, not burn it up!" Miki cried.

"But that's how I always send them." Spike replied.

"Really?" Miki asked.

"Yes, Miki, he's not lying." Twilight answered.

"So, he really is a dragon after all." Nagare chuckled.

"Does this mean the doctor and I have to come as well?" Asked Redheart.

"Pretty much." Rarity answered

"Nagare...?" Yuuki asked, sitting up in the bed.

"Yeah...?" Nagare replied. "What is it?"

"I'll have to tell Applejack that I am infertile. Remember when Mikarya was hollering and all that?" Yuuki said.

"Oh. That. I see. We'll tell her after breakfast." Nagare yawned.

"We have to make sure the Crusaders don't intervene. I've heard some worrisome tales." Yuuki said, yawning. She fluffed up the pillow before laying back down.

"Why do we have to keep on searching?! It's gone on long enough!" Saki shrieked.

"I don't know!" Baki barked.

"I thought you were the leader!" Saki said.

"Must I prove my leadership?" Baki replied.

"Yes." Saki said.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really!"

"OH really?"

"YEAH really!"

"OH REALLY?!"

"YEAH REALLY!"

Maki watched, sipping on a beer as the argument became something else altogether. Alongside him were some Q-hybrids, one of which was the same camera-man who recorded the first Drunk Fiasco. A wicked grin crept on his face as more Q-hybrids began forming a crowd around the Quartet leader and one of his two second-in-commands. They gathered because they wanted to know what the hell was going on.

"This is gonna be awesome." Maki said deviously.
