Episode 1: Slacker Dash

"And don't forget to cross multiply," Ms. Cheerilee said while writing on a black chalkboard.

Rainbow Dash began to doze off as Ms. Cheerilee continued to talk. Her loud snoring interrupted Ms. Cheerilee's lecture. Ms. Cheerilee grabbed a stack of three textbooks from her desk and walked to where Rainbow Dash was sitting. "No sleeping in my class!" She exclaimed as he dropped the stack of textbooks on Rainbow Dash's desk.

Rainbow Dash jumped from her seat in shock. "Not the cider!"

"Had a nightmare Rainbow Dash?" Ms. Cheerilee asked.

"You wouldn't believe! Sweet Apple Acres had an infestation and there was no cider for the season!"

"How sad," Ms. Cheerilee said sarcastically, "but does cider have anything to do with dividing fractions?"

The room fell in silence while Rainbow Dash stared at Ms. Cheerilee thinking. "Can you tell me how to divide a fraction?" Ms. Cheerilee asked.

The room fell in silence again while Rainbow Dash stared at the floor thinking. "That's what I thought, I don't want to see you sleeping in my class again or the desk won't be the only thing the textbooks hit."

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer were sitting in the courtyard of the school by a statue of a horse. "I really wish Twilight was back," Rainbow Dash sighed.

"Yeah, but it would be nice if she came when the fate of the school wasn't at risk," Applejack said.

"But where is the fun in that?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Rainbow Dash opened her math notebook and stared at the page with dried drool "I don't mean for fun! I still don't know how to divide fractions!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Why don't you just ask us for help?" Rarity asked.

"Because Twilight is the smartest."

"I would have offered to help, but I changed my mind," Applejack said.

Episode 2: Equestrian Penmanship

Fluttershy sat in the music room staring in her pink music notebook with a puzzled face. "What's up Fluttershy?" Sunset Shimmer greeted as she entered the room.

"I was going through my notebook to find some lyrics I wrote for a new song when I found this," Fluttershy said while presenting a page in her notebook to Sunset Shimmer.

The page had doodles of the Dazzling's pendants, Twilight singing, Adagio's face with a caption under it that read "evil" and random words. "I don't remember writing this," Fluttershy said.

Sunset Shimmer stared at the doodle of Twilight singing. "I think Twilight wrote this."

"Is this why Twilight had no lyrics for the counter spell?" Fluttershy asked.

"That may be true," Sunset Shimmer said nervously.

"Do you guys write back in Equestria?"

"Usually I use my magic. I don't have much practice when it comes to writing either," Sunset Shimmer pulled out a notebook from her backpack and flipped through the pages. She showed Fluttershy a page full of scribbles and doodles. "This is how I used to write." Sunset Shimmer flipped through the pages to some more recent notes. "This is how I write now."

Fluttershy stared at the page covered in sloppy hand-writting. The sentences were scrambled throughout the page and managed to not stay in the lines. "I don't see that much progress."

"Sunset Shimmer, can I borrow your notes from science class," Rainbow Dash asked.

"Sure," Sunset Shimmer said as she handed Rainbow Dash a blue journal.

Rainbow Dash skimmed the pages searching for the notes from the day's class. She began to snicker as she read the notes. "On second thought, I will just ask Rarity," she said as she handed Sunset Shimmer her journal back, "I can't really read your hand-writing."

"I tried my best to catch up but the teacher writes too fast," Sunset Shimmer pouted.

"Don't fret. Just try to keep the words on the line next time, they're there for a reason."

Episode 3: No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service

Episode 3: No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service

Pinkie Pie and Rarity were standing in front of Sugar Cube Corner. The sound of car horns and police whistles could be heard throughout the block. "What is taking Rainbow Dash so long?" Rarity asked.

"If she doesn't hurry, I'm going to go inside without her, the free milkshake sale is almost over," Pinkie Pie said.

"Wait! I made it," Rainbow Dash said out of breath.

"Rainbow Dash! What are you wearing?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow Dash looked down at herself and noticed she was only wearing a t-shirt and shorts, "You mean this isn't a dream?"

"I'm pretty sure it isn't. Wait! Maybe it is," Pinkie Pie examined her clothes and chewed on her hair, "No it's not. If it was my hair would taste like candy. But then again, it could taste like candy in real life too."

The three went inside and walked up to the counter. "Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, how may I help-" Mrs. Cake started.

"One chocolate milkshake," Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but you need to be wearing appropriate attire to order."

"Don't worry Rainbow Dash, I can get you one," Rarity said.

"I'm sorry but the sale is limited to one per customer," Mrs. Cake said.

As Rainbow Dash headed towards the door three textbooks fell on her head. "I'm up!" Rainbow Dash yelled in shock.

The class began to snicker. "Missing your clothes Ms. Dash?" Cheerilee asked sarcastically.

"How did you know?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You were talking in your sleep this time."

The snickers in the class began to get louder. "Why did you drop textbooks on my head?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I warned you not to sleep in my class again."

Episode 4: Cupcake Motivation

“It’s so hot!” Rainbow Dash moaned while wallowing on the floor of her bedroom. Instead of her usual attire, Rainbow Dash wore her usual t-shirt and leggings but not her jacket or her skirt. She reached for her phone and dialed Applejacks number.

“Hello?” Applejack answered.

“Hey Applejack. I was wondering if we can move our study session to my house?”

“Oh that’s too bad. And Pinkie Pie was going to make some cupcakes too.”

Rainbow Dash immediately jumped up and put her shoes on. “I’m on my way!” Rainbow Dash hung up her cell phone and ran out the door with her backpack to Pinkie Pie’s place. Once she reached the doorstep, Pinkie Pie opened the door.

“Hi Rainbow Dash! We were just getting ready to start,” Pinkie Pie said welcoming Rainbow Dash to her home.

Rainbow and Pinkie went upstairs to her room where the rest were waiting. “Glad to see you can make it,” Applejack said, “What made you change your mind?”

“I came for the cupcakes!”

“Well you can get your cupcake when you do some work.”

“Fine,” Rainbow Dash groaned as she took a seat next to Applejack.

The six girls worked in silence for about five minutes until it was broken. “What does this word mean?” Rainbow Dash asked Applejack.

“Rainbow,” Applejack said as she glanced at the workbook.

“No seriously. What does “arco iris” mean?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I am being serious! It means Rainbow!” Applejack exclaimed.

“Oh, it means ‘rainbow’.” Rainbow Dash said.

“I would think you would know that considering that’s your name,” Applejack said sarcastically.

“Why don’t we move on from Spanish?” Rarity said breaking up the argument.

Once again, the six worked in silence until it was broken. “It’s hot,” Rainbow Dash moaned, “Why don’t we get some refreshments?”

“But we just started,” Fluttershy said.

“I know but I just thought if we had something now, we wouldn’t have to wait until later,” Rainbow Dash said.

“I don’t get it.”

“Rainbow Dash! Stop hampering!” Applejack snapped.

“I’m not hampering!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

“You don’t even know what that means, do you?” Applejack asked.

“Of course I know what it means. But just incase everyone else doesn’t know, why don’t you give a definition, two synonyms, an antonym, and use it in a sentence.”

“You’re pathetic,” Applejack said.

“It was worth a try,” Rainbow Dash said.

Once more the six worked in silence until yet again, it was broken. “Hey Applejack, can you help me with this math problem?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I’m not helping you this time,” Applejack said as she got up from where she was seated.

“Please!” Rainbow Dash begged.

“You know what? I’m going to get a cupcake,” Applejack said trying to escape the room.

“Can I get one too?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Not until you do one of the problems on your own.”

As Applejack left the room, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset Shimmer followed.

“Can one of you guys get a cupcake for me?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Sorry Rainbow Dash,” the four said as they left the room.

“How am I going to do this on my own?” Rainbow Dash asked herself. As she looked around the room, she spotted Sunset Shimmer’s book. “I know! I’ll ask Twilight.” Rainbow Dash ran across the room and pulled out the book out of the bag. She turned to an empty page and began writing.

Dear Twilight,

Rarity sells necklaces for $20 each. She sold 30 necklaces last month. If she put a 10% discount to the price of the necklace and sold 10 more, how much additional money would Rarity make?

Rainbow Dashed closed the book in hopes that Twilight would answer soon. Almost instantly the book began vibrating. Rainbow Dash opened the book and read the message.

I know that is you Rainbow Dash. I can’t give you the answer, you have to solve the problem on your own.

“How did she know it was me?” Rainbow Dash asked in shock. Rainbow Dash closed the book and returned back to where she was sitting. A few minutes later, Applejack and Sunset Shimmer returned to the room.

“Did you solve any of the problems?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“No,” Rainbow Dash said in a flat tone.

“Rainbow, I know you only came for the cupcakes. I’m only asking you to solve one problem on your own and I will give you a cupcake,” Applejack said.

“Fine,” Rainbow Dash groaned. As she skimmed through the book, the floor began to shake. The lights flickered on and off briefly and then turned completely off.

“What was that?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

The three ran outside and met with the rest. The city was darker than usual and the street lights were off. The six waited outside until the power came back on. When they were back inside their phones began to make noises. “Looks like school is cancelled tomorrow,” Rarity said as she checked her phone.

“Does that mean the tests are cancelled?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I guess so,” Sunset Shimmer said.

“Does that mean I can finally have a cupcake?”

“Yes Rainbow Dash. You can have a cupcake,” Applejack said giving up.

Rainbow Dash immediately ran to the kitchen and grabbed a cupcake. “Finally!” Rainbow Dash said stuffing the cupcake into her mouth.

“But that means you have to study all day tomorrow,” Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened. “Please don’t make me.”
