"And then I said, 'Well, if you're going to go out dressed like that then don't bother showing up!' Yes, I know it was a bit harsh but it was the truth, I mean her outfit looked like a garbage bag. I wasn't going to be seen with her." Rarity said, finishing a story she was telling. The 6 friends were walking together, hoof in hoof carrying tons of shopping bags.
"Thanks for today, Rarity. We all really needed this."
"Anytime, Twilight, darling. I'm glad to go shopping with my best friends any time."
"OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH I HAD SOOOO MUCH FUN TODAY!"
"Well if I do say so mahself, this was mighty fun. I usually don't enjoy shopping but it was fun cuz I was with y'all."
"Yeah, I had lots of fun, I hope we can do this again, I mean if it's okay with you, if that's alright."
"I don't care what we do, as long as I still get to practice my flying tricks. Rarity, you promised you'd help me if I did this." Rainbow Dash said, stepping away from the group, making them all pause.
"Of course darling, you held up your part of the deal so I might as well hold up mine. Now, I've got to run home to change into something a bit more comfortable.. But I won't get dirty will I?"
"Oh, quit your whining. Of course you will get dirty if you stand too close!"
"Rainbow, I reckon you might have a better chance if you practice with me, I don't mind getting a little dirt on my hooves." Apple Jack remarked. They were still paused in the middle of the street, at the bottom of a hill.
"Apple Jack, that was a little rude." Twilight said, glancing at Rarity who looked a little hurt.
"Oh, gollee, I'm sorry Rarity, you just said you didn't want to get dirty."
"I don't mind getting a few spots of dirt here and there if it's for a friend!" Rarity said, confidently.
"What in tarnation are we doing standing around all day? Let's get a move on! I've got places to be." Apple Jack said, pushing Rarity forward. Then, at that second, a huge flow of traffic was coming down the hill. The farmers market was just packed up, and Big Mac and a bunch of other people were heading home. The ponies didn't see until it was too late. Everything went black.
*********************************************************************************************************************** The ponies woke up in a dark room, confused. "What just happened?" Twilight Sparkle said, as the other ponies woke up, rubbing their heads. Fluttershy was the first to wake up and was sitting in the corner huddled in a ball, shivering and crying. "I-I wanna go home.." She said in a hushed tone. A voice boomed overhead. "You are home, my children!" It said. The voice was very feminine and welcoming. "Show yourself!" Apple Jack yelled at the ceiling. "Hehe, I don't care where we are, there's CANDYY!!" Pinkie Pie said, holding a bucket full of candy. "Where'd you get that from, Pinkie?" Apple Jack said.
