The ponies were on their way to Appleoosa to plant Applejack's tree, Bloomberg, in the orchard.    Applejack, who was in a seperate train car, was reading to her tree, as if it was alive. The appletree was in a bed, covered with a blanket.    "...And they lived happily ever after." Applejack finished. Just then, the door slammed open. Applejack turned around to see a very angry Rarity.    "Applejack!" Rarity moaned. "Why should your tree get a whole car when I have to be in the same car as all the others?! How will I get my beauty sleep?"    "Beacause it can be a might upsettin' for a tree when it gets re-planted!" argued Applejack. "Ain't that right, Bloomberg?" Applejack hugged the tree. Rarity looked disgiusted.    "Now you're talking to the tree?!" shouted Rarity. "You're treating it like a baby!" She was now so angry her eyes were bulging.    "What?! A baby?! Bloomberg's no baby!" Applejack shouted angrily. "Now you've made him all sady-wady!" Rarity scowled.    "Rarity's the one who's all sady-wady!" Rarity cried, leaving the room and shutting the door behind her.    In the other room, Twilight and the others were talking, laughing, and having fun. Rainbow Dash looked at her popcorn and frowned.    "Spike!" called Rainbow. "One of these kerrnals didn't get popped!" Spike growled in frustration. He breathed fire on the popcorn, causing them all to turn black except the one that didn't get popped. That one popped and was the only good one.    "Good night!" said Spike. The girls looked at each other.    "I think we should get some rest." said Twilight. "We have a long day ahead of us!" The others nodded and blew out the candles.    "Psst!" whispered Rainbow Dash. "Pinkie Pie? You still awake?"    "Yeah." Pinkie replied. "Are you?"    "If i wasn't awake, how would I ask if you were awake?" asked Rainbow. Pinkie giggled.    "Oh yeah." she said.    "Do you think we'll have to carry that heavy tree all the way from the train station to the orchard?" Rainbow asked.    "What tree?" asked Pinkie. "You mean Bloomberg?"    "No!" Rainbow said. "Fluttershy!"    "Fluttershy's not a tree, silly!" said Pinkie.    "What's going on?" asked Twilight, joining the conversation.    "Rainbow thinks Fluttershy's a tree!" Pinkie explained.    "I do not think she's a tree! I was just-"    "Did you say she was a tree?" asked Twilight, cutting off Rainbow.    "No-" Rainbow began. "Well, yes, but not exactly."    "You know she's not a tree, right?" asked Twilight, confused.    "She's not a tree, Dashie!" said Pinkie.    "I'd like to be a tree." said Fluttershy, appearing next to Rainbow Dash. Suddenly, Spike sat up in bed.    "Oh, for pete's sake!" he shouted, annoyed. He hopped out of bed, bringing his pillow with him to the train car where Bloomberg was.    "Well that was a little huffy!" said Twilight. Fluttershy giggled.    "Huffy the magic dragon!" joked Fluttershy. All the girls laughed.    "Will you all be quiet, NOW!" screamed Rarity. She had a mud mask on and cucumbers on her eyes. The girls screamed and blew out the candles they had lit.    Spike was in the train car that held Bloomberg.    "Bloomberg?" he asked and hopped into the bed next to the tree. "Sorry, I tend to snore a bit. Good night." Spike sighed and went to sleep.    The sun rose in the morning as the train sped down the tracks. Something bumped the train and woke up the girls. They looked through the window to see a buffalo stampede.    "I just love their accessories!" said Rarity, dreamily.    "They're getting awfully close to the train." Twilight said, worried. Just then, they all bumped into the train and it shook wildly. The 6 ponies inside were bouncing around everywhere!    In the other train car, Spike was still sleeping. The bed he and Bloomberg were in was sliding everywhere. The train went faster as the buffalo banged into the train.    Pinkie ran to the window on the other side of the train.    "Oh, look!" she shouted. "Now they're doing tricks!" A buffalo hopped onto another's back and a girl buffalo jumped onto the top.    "Oh! Oh! Now do a backflip!" Pinkie squealed. The girl buffalo jumped onto the top of the train. "Or just jump." She was running to the back of the train.    "Something tells me this isn't a circus act!" said Rainbow and flew onto the top of the train, blocking the buffalo. "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?" The buffalo ignored her and kept running. Rainbow Dash flew out of the way as she ran where Rainbow was just at. She kept running towards the end of the train as it kept moving. Rainbow flew alongside the buffalo.    "Wow! You're pretty fast for someone so-bulky." she said, then quickly added, "No offence." Then, she flew way ahead of the buffalo and landed on top of the train in front of her.    "I just wanna know-" said Rainbow, cut off by the buffalo running around her. Rainbow scowled. "Hey!" She flew in front of her again.    "I'm talking to you!"
