Twilight teleported right in front of Tirek and the rest of the group.

"Princess Twilight, I see you are here."

Twilight grunted to Tirek's words as she opened the portal to Tartarus.

"Tirek!" Twilight yelled.

Tirek found himself wrapped in magenta magic and found himself locked in a cage where the bars were too small for him to escape yet too big for him to melt.

"NOOOOO!" He yelled.

Twilight closed the portal.

"Anyone else wanna go?" Twilight asked but saw that no one escaped or that no one talked, or moved a muscle for that matter. "Good, now, Lightning Streak, you are still banished to Tartaurus, and Trixie, you are too for trying to take over Ponyville."

The two stuck their hooves in the ground. Trixie used her light pink magic while Twilight turned away to teleport everyone to the ever free. They came to their senses when they all fell down. When they all looked to Trixie she spoke.

"What? I hate Tartaurus."

"Well did you hate to make it so rough." Streak said as he rubbed his hoof.

"Sorry, teleporting so many ponies at once is hard for me."

Lightning Dust looked around. She tapped on some of the plants as they grew rapidly.

"Hey look, we could use these to trap somepony." Dust said.

"Hey, my cousin's right, these are good. I've got a plan..." Streak said as he rubbed his front hooves together.

"He has psychosis." Suri muttered to her and Trixie as they both laughed.

"Hey I can hear you!" Streak yelled. He turned his attention back to the plants. "Dust, find us a shelter, we're gonna be here a while."

On cue, Lightning Dust found a tree and set up a fire. Streak smiled.


Twilight, after finishing a long lecture without realizing that they had escaped, turned around to face a blank wall.

"Grr!" Twilight said as she stomped her hooves on the dirt ground. "Oh well. More time for Flash." She said as she teleported to her boyfriend.


Rarity was with Fancy Pants at the train station.

"Rarity, are you sure you don't want me to come?" Fancy asked.

"No no Fancy, It's ok darling. You are busy."

"I insist."

"No, I'll be fine, if I need you, I will send a scroll. It's only 2 days, I will be home tomorrow."

"Ok dear, have a nice time in Manehattan, wait, why are you going?"

"I have to display my dresses in a shop and.." Rarity started before being interrupted.

"Couldn't you just send them?"

"Yes I could, but if I deliver them personally, I can see my friend Coco Pommel, and they don't get crumpled."

"Makes sense, bye Rarity."

"Bye."

"All aboard for Manehattan!" The train pony yelled.

"That's my ride." Rarity said to Fancy before walking up to the train pony and giving him her ticket.

She boarded the train, and waved goodbye to Fancy Pants. She sat down on a seat with her dresses and got out a magazine called Designers Monthly. It was only about a 30 minute train ride. She flipped though the pages until she stopped at a page and released the magazine from her magic. Her mouth lay open as she stared at the picture. She recognized the mare with Light amberish grey coloured fur and 2 shaded cyan hair. Her blue eyes sparkled and her shined hooves were stylish. Coco Pommel. Coco Pommel was on one of the pages of a magazine Rarity had dreamed of being on for 7 years now.

"Coco..Pommel..is...on...page...magazine...Designers...Monthly..."

Rarity tried to keep her conciousness. When she counted to 10, her train pulled aboard. She looked out the window and saw that they were nowhere near Manehattan. The conductor spoke.

"Sorry, we are experiencing difficulties with the train. We will be stuck here an additional 20 minutes. If anyone is eager to get to Manehattan you can take the 11:25 train that gets here in 10 minutes. Just know that this train is far more cleaner and has far more space. Thank you all for your time and have a nice day, we will try our hardest to get it moving."

The conductor left and went to the front of the train. There were about 45 passengers and 43 left the train. The 2 ponies that remained were Rarity and a unicorn named Silver Spanner.

"Rarity, looks like you and I are the only ones left."

"Silver Spanner?"

"Call me Spanner."

"Ok, but is it you, why are you going to Manehattan?"

"Vacation." Spanner replied while kicking her back hooves on the sofa to her right, where no one was sitting. "What about you?"

"Business. Delivering dresses, and meeting up with a friend."

"Oh who?"

Rarity used her magic to show Spanner Coco Pommel on the magazine page.

"You know Coco Pommel?"

"Of course I do, when I was a contestant during Fashion Week at Manehattan, there was a mare named Suri Polomare, and she had Coco as her assistant. See, I helped Coco see that it isn't every pony for herself in Manehattan, and she gave me a spool of rainbow thread, which was the key of generosity that I used with my 5 friends during the battle of Tirek."

"Ok, I got most of that, so, you helped her?"

"Yea."

"Ok."

The 2 unicorns talked until the train started moving. They were both surprised by it moving. Spanner laughed, then was joined by Rarity.

"So Spanner, where are you staying?" Rarity asked when they both stopped laughing.

"Oh, it's a hotel across a theatre and in the heart of Manehattan."

"That's where I'm staying!"

"Cool. Hey maybe we are neighbours?"

"That would be cool."

The two unicorns be-friended each other. Learning more about each other, telling stories, and laughing together.

"So Rarity, where do you live now?"

"I live in Canterlot."

"How majestic! I wish I could live in Canterlot. I'm still a ponyville folk."


The train pulled into the station, and Silver Spanner and Rarity trotted out. They used their magic to lift their bags.

"Hey Rarity, do you know where the hotel is?"

"Yes. Follow me."

The unicorns passed the statue of friendship, then they finally reached the hotel. First Rarity checked in, then Silver Spanner. They were both on the 7th floor and next to each other. Rarity had to go visit Coco Pommel so she said goodbye to Spanner. As Rarity left, she took her dresses with her. She walked all around town until she found her friend, the costume designer for plays. She walked into the office building and walked up the stairs to Coco Pommel's office while still levitating her dresses.

"Coco?"

Coco jumped up from shock.

"Mrs.Blossom don't you ever knock." Coco said before turning around. "RARITY! Sorry I thought you were someone else."

Rarity set her dresses down before hugging Coco.

"It's been so long since I've seen you Coco!"

"I know! I got to go on the pages of Designers Monthly!"

"I know, now Coco, I really wish I could stay longer, but I must deliver these dresses."

"Oh, of course."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Rarity picked up her dresses with her magic and walked out of the office. She technically shouldn't be up there, so she teleported away to the dress shop. When she was there, she walked up to the store owner.

"Oh Rarity, thanks for the dresses. Here are the bits I promised you." The counter pony said sliding the bits over to Rarity.

"Thank you...what's is your name."

"Harmonic Brush."

"I thought you worked at a wedding decoration store, that's what Rainbow Dash told me."

"Yea I did, I keep changing jobs in Equestria though."

"Oh." Rarity said while she trotted away from Harmonic Brush. "Bye."

"Bye."

As Rarity started leaving, Harmonic displayed the dresses in the windows, and put some on racks. Rarity walked back to the hotel. She saw Silver Spanner with Vinyl Scratch and Octavia. Vinyl was here making dubstep tracks for Neon Lights, and Octavia tagged along because they were dating and the orchestra was taking a break. Rarity walked up her room before being spotted by Spanner.

"Hey Rarity!"

"Hi Spanner!"

"You know Vinyl and Octavia right?"

"Yes."

"Wanna come to the pool with us?" Spanner said

"Oh I wish I could but I..um..have to do some work for a friend..yes. That's it, work for a friend."

"Ok." Spanner, Vinyl and Octavia said in unison.

Rarity really didn't need to do stuff for a friend. She just wanted to get out, but didn't want to go to a pool. She walked up to her room and teleported to a small part of Manehattan that almost no one visited. There was 2 unicorns there. Rarity couldn't see who at first. They had green magic aura then revealed themselves. The one with a moustache sang.

"He's Flim." The first one sang.

"He's Flam!" The one without a moustache sang.

"We're the world famous Flim Flam brothers!"

"Flim..Flam...what are YOU doing here!"

"Taking you away of course." Flim answered.

"So Fancy Pants can save you!" Flam said.

"He drove us out of business in canterlot."

"So we are getting his honey for REVENGE!" They both said in unison.

Before Rarity could scream, or use magic, or send a scroll to Fancy, she was caught in green aura and couldn't escape or do anything.


Fancy Pants was talking with all the loves of Rarity's friends when suddenly he twitched, snapped, and his horn flinched on and off.

"What was that?" Spike asked.

"I dunno." Fancy said.

"Dude," Soarin began. "That sometimes happens to me when Rain in is trouble, maybe Rarity is in trouble."

"That's a little..cheesy." Cheese Sandwich said.

The whole group laughed.

"Go see." Discord said.

"Bye guys." Fancy said.

"Bye." they all said in unison.

Fancy Pants teleported before anyone could say anything.
