____*Stalliongrad, Rainbow's apartment, 10:12 AM*____

Rainbow hastily packed everything that they were taking home, she woke Scootaloo up so that she could help, they were both still groggy, but they had enough energy to get things packed.

Eventually, after ten minutes, they were finished packing, all they had to do was pass enough time so that when they reached the train station, they could just board and wait for a few minutes until the train departed.

The train departed at eleven thirty exact, so they had little over an hour to wait, Rainbow had suggested that they go say goodbye to Applefritter before leaving.

Scootaloo had agreed, she hadn't met the mare yet, but even meeting her and talking to her for an hour would be better then not.

The two sisters exited the apartment and made sure everything was good to go, she handed the key back to the clerk and the sisters headed to Applefritter's place.

____*A few minutes later*____

Rainbow knocked on the door and heard some shuffling, soon the door opened and they saw Applefritter. "Hey Dash, who's the kid?" She asked cautiously.

"This is Scootaloo." Rainbow replied.

Applefritter opened the door and allowed them in. "Sorry, have to be careful these days." She said as the two Pegasi entered.

Scootaloo couldn't help but look around, some of the furniture was busted, there was a broken vase and table in the corner, one of the chairs was upside down because one of the legs were missing. "Something happen here Fritter?" Rainbow asked.

Applefritter shrugged. "Burglar, tossed him out and around the house." She explained as she sat on the dusty couch.

Rainbow and Scootaloo sat on old chairs and looked at Applefritter. "I wanted to come by, you see, we're going home today, and i thought you should know." Rainbow said.

Applefritter chuckled. "I know, It has been good seeing you, so when does your train leave?" She asked.

"In an hour or so." Scootaloo answered.

Rainbow looked around and saw a busted picture on the mantelpiece. "Are you ever going to fix this place?" She asked.

Applefritter shook her head. "No point, it would just get robbed and vandalized again, besides the whole building is falling apart, and I cant hire anyone to fix it up, no, I think I'll just give it back to the city, I can find a place some other time." She said, brushing off the concern as if it was nothing.

Scootloo blinked. 'Is this what everyone in this city deals with?.....or is it just a few, it amazing how she can just brush it off like its nothing.' She thought as Rainbow and Applefritter talked.

____*An hour later, Stalliongrad train station.*_____

Rainbow and Scootaloo headed up to the conductor and handed their tickets over, he took them and confirmed them. "Go ahead and board." He told them.

The sisters entered the train and found their seats, Rainbow actually sighed in relief. "That was close." She said quietly.

Scootaloo couldn't help but agree as the train departed two minutes later.

The train had been going for over twenty minutes when she heard a light thud from the top of the train, she glanced up but didn't notice anything odd, she assumed it was just her imagination.

____*A few hours later, Ponyville train station, [1].*____

Rainbow and Scootaloo stepped out of the train and breathed in the fresh air. "It's good to be home, right Scoots?" Rainbow asked.

Scootaloo nodded. "Yep, sure is." She glanced around and noticed something odd, she looked closer and saw an all too familiar pony.

"Dash, is that who I think it is?" Scootaloo asked quietly.

Rainbow looked at what her sister was looking at and her eyes widened in shock. "No way." She muttered.

They watched as Storm walked over and grinned at them. "Hey guys, how's it going?" He asked.

Rainbow did the only she could.......she passed out.

Storm scratched the back of his head. "Did I say something?" He asked.

Author's Note

[1] This particular train is very very fast.

This chapter is just as rushed as the original, but then, there isn't much to cover, it should be easier to read though.

Anyway, now Storm is in Ponyville, and Dash fainted, so yea, I think its going pretty well, also, I apologize for my previous author notes, to those who did not read them or don't remember, it was basically me being a jerk, if that sums it up.
