The carnivores and the ponies

The mane six and the CMC walked into the royal castle. As they entered the Throne Room, They could feel the tension in the air. Celestia sat on her throne and watching as they all walked inside.

"Hello girls, Thanks for arriving on time." Celestia smiled warmly at the nine ponies as they stopped in front of her. Twilight walked forward to talk with the Princess.

"So, what did you need help with Princess?" She asked. Celestia nodded and out from behind the throne, a blue and white bird walked. The bird had a big orange and yellow beak and a little black on the tips of its feathers.

"I have actually never seen a bird like that before..." Fluttershy whispered. The bird looked at Twilight and walked towards her.

"I'll leave now so you can discuss the matter. I have to go an d... 'Fetch' another group.

"Hello, Let me introduce myself. My name is Zazu, And i am King Simba's... Let's say Adviser. And i have traveled here all the way from The Pride Lands. We have requested for help." Zazu looked at Twilight, waiting for an answer.

"First, What do you need help with Zazu?" Twilight asked. Zazu looked at the rest of the mane six and then back at Twilight.

"The stripe clan is back and it wants to take over the Pride Lands... The leader, BlackClaw, has an heart made of pure evil and if they succeed to take the lands... they will have enough food and water to take over Equestria, and if that happens..."

"...They will have more magic then anyone could ever have..." Twilight finished Zazu's sentence.

"Girls, We are going to to The Pride Lands!"

"So... What are you going to do ?" Rainbow asked. The CMC stood in front of her in a line.

"Take the train to Ponyville and go home." They said at the same time.

"Good. Now, go ahead, you don't wanna miss your train now d-" Rainbow suddenly got cut off by a giant royal trumpet playing. As she looked towards the way of the sound, she saw Princess Celestia followed by six other ponies. Rapidfire, Fleetfoot, Spitfire, Surprise, Wave Chill, Soarin' and Spec'-Wind. All of the Wonderbolts had their saddlebags on their back, and none wore a Wonderbolt Suit. Now, For the first time, Rainbow could get a look at Spec'-Wind's cutie mark. It was black tornado, in the middle of a white snow storm. She thought it was kind of Peculiar but she decided to let it be.

"I thought that it would help if the Wonderbolts went with you." Celestia simply said. Celestia walked to the side to let the Wonderbolts walk forward and join the group of already six ponies and one bird.

"Dash, Where's Applebloom and her friends?" Applejack asked Rainbow. Rainbow turned around to face her but bumped into something on the way.

"S-Sorry Dash... Ouch, You have a really hard head!" Rainbow and Soarin' was laying in some kind of pony pile on the floor. Noticing the Awkward situation, Rainbow quickly got up on her hooves and helped Soarin' up from the floor.

"Sup Soar." Rainbow said as Soarin' just got up on his feet. Rainbow brushed off some of the none existing dust particles from her chest, and so did Soarin'.

"Hello to you too Miss Rainbow Dash." Soarin said with an up stuck voice. Rainbow quickly followed his joke and started talking in the same way.

"It is most certainly lovely to meet your Aquitence."

"You too Miss."

"Did you hear about that old Riff-Raff down the street?"

"I most certainly did . Poor little fellow."

"I must say, You do look li-"

"We have more important things to talk about then making jokes right now." Twilight interrupted. She looked sternly at the pair as they looked confused at Twilight. Rainbow was even more confused then Soarin'.

"Geez! Soften up Twi, When did you become the Poofer?" Rainbow asked.

"I became, what you call, A poofer when Zazu told us about evil trying to take over the world! You should really act more serious then joking around." Rainbow sighed and looked down into the ground.

"Fiiiiine."

With this, Twilight became satisfied and walked over to Zazu for more details about their trip.

"So... Can ya answer mah question now Dash?" Applejack asked. Rainbow had forgotten all about Applejack for a moment, but now she quickly remembered.

"Oh! Yeah, I'm pretty sure they took the train back to Ponyville." Rainbow said wit ha small smile. Applejack, got satisfied with this answer, and walked to Twilight and Zazu.

'Oh! I'm pretty sure they took the train back to Ponyville.'

Behind some pillars of the Castle, Three little fillies were hiding. It was, None other then, Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. As Scootaloo heard Rainbow say this, She chuckled lightly, and turned to face her friends.

"They all think we are on the train!" She said with a smile. Applebloom chuckled, but Sweetie Belle frowned at what Scootaloo said.

"Aren't we breaking a Pinkie Promise by not being on the train?" She asked. Applebloom stopped laughing and frowned too.

"When Ah' think 'bout it... Sweetie's right! We Pinkie Pie promised back in Ponyville that we woul&#03 9; take the train back to Ponyville when they were done!" Scootaloo shook her head.

"We are not breaking the Pinkie Promise at all!" She replied to both of them with a grin.

"We promised to take the train back when they were done. They are not done, now are they?" Scootaloo watched as the frown on Applebloom's face turned into a very happy smile. but Sweetie Belle did not smile.

"I still think we are breaking the Pinkie Promise so, I'm going home. Have fun in the Savannah!" Sweetie Belle started walking away from their hiding spot, but Scootaloo quickly stopped her.

"There is no way we are going to make it to Ponyville now! the train left an hour ago and the next one doesn't arrive until Tomorrow! Plus, I don't think being alone with your parents sound very fun, Dont'cha think?" Scootaloo asked Sweetie Belle. The white filly thought for a moment, before opening her mouth again.

" Alright, I'll go with you."

The mane six (and the CMC who had been following them) reached the trains Final Destination. Manehatten. The reason to why they where in Manehatten was that they would board a boat going to, no other place then, Africa.

"So... How long do you think the boat trip will take Soar?" Rainbow asked Soarin'. The stallion put a hoof under his chin and thought for about 10 seconds.

"Well, Dash, We are about 5000 Kilometers from Africa right now. The boats speed will be about 50 km/h. So... 100 hours. And that's two and a half days."

"You've always been good at maths. And uhh... over Two Days? Can't you like... I don't know... Miscalculate that so we will get there faster?" Rainbow asked with desperation in her voice. Soarin' looked at Rainbow before looking away again with a small blush on his face. He placed a hoof under his chin again and thought.

"Okay. Lets say the boat goes at a speed... lets say it goes 500 km/h. Then it will take 10 hours. But sadly, it doesn't go at that speed so... yeah." Soarin' looked at Rainbow again. Dash sighed and looked into the ground.

"Well, we could always hope that it goes at least 300..." Rainbow looked up at Soarin' and looked into his eyes.

"Thanks anyways."

"No probs Dashie."
