Previous Chapter

"Ughhh... I think I ate too much pie...." With her stomach bulging out, Twilight checked off Sweet Apple Acres.

"I feel absolutely refreshed! Meta Knight would never allow me to eat like that." She looked at him, in a very disturbed manner, after remembering how he ate.

"What's next on the list?" She levitated the checklist, seeing the next job.

"Apparently there's a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash who's supposed to be clearing the clouds." She looked around.

"Well, she isn't doing a very good job is she?" And with that, karma hit her in the back of the head as a certain rainbow maned Pegasus smacked into her.

"Whoa!" Bandana Dee pointed his spear at the Pegasus who hit Twilight.

"Identify yourself or I will have to get physical!!!" She sat up.

"Dude, no need to get harsh! It was an accident!" She sort of sounded like a boy.

"You okay?" She chuckled.

"Lemme help you." And as fast as lightning, she went, got a cloud, and started... stomping on it? Rain came out as she did, cleaning Twilight a little too much.

"Sorry, must've overdid it." She chuckled some more. Bandana looked at her with adoration in his eyes, not even paying attention to twilight getting a new hairstyle. Her mane looked so rugged- the sign of a athletic personality. He imagined-

"Uhhhh dude? You okay?" Bandana Dee shook his head.

"Thanks for snapping me out of that Spike. I didn't know what happened there."

"Look at Twilights new hairstyle dude!" He started chuckling but Bandana didn't do the same.

"What's so funny?" He looked at Spike, the Pegasus and then Twilight.

"Do I have a stain on my bandana?" He took it off of his head, examining it.

"I don't see anything on it." They continued staring in confusion.

"Anyways... how's it going with the weather..." He looked at the clipboard.

"... Rainbow Dash?"

"The one and only! Why? You heard of me?" Twilight butted in.

"I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear." She sighed

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather." Rainbow Dash went to lay on a cloud.

"Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing." Twilight grew confused.

"Practice for what?" Rainbow Dash stood up proudly.

"The Wonderbolts! They're gonna perform at the Celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show 'em my stuff!" Bandana sat down.

"I think I've heard of the Wonderbolts before. They are Princess Celestia's personal flight team... right?"

"Well, looks like somebody's an egghead!" Twilight butted in once more.

"The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?"

"That's them!" Twilight snickered.

"Pfft! Please. They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day!" Rainbow grew angry at this.

"Hey, I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat!"

Twilight smirked. "Really? Prove it."

Ten seconds later....

" You should see the look on your face. Ha! You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more." And with that, Rainbow Dash moved on with her day.

"She was amazing!" Bandana added a punch line.

"Yeah, she must've been a parking ticket, cause she's got fine written all over her!" Spike stared in disgust.

"Dude, you just went too far. If you want punch lines, you need to talk to a love master, also known as: me." Bandana stared at Spike in awe.

"Amazing..."

With Meta Knight...

Sailor Dee spoke. "Sir, we have Waddle Dee at every vent, window and door. We should be on schedule. Anything else?" Meta Knight closed his eyes and thought.

"I want everyone who is not currently stationed to go back to the Halberd and take a rest. They will be escorting the princess to where she needs to be. I will go and check on Bandana Dee. Make sure he didn't screw up." He paused.

"I want you to rest also. You will be sitting with me and Bandana. I also want 3 guards to stay on the ship."

"Understood sir." And with that, Meta Knight teleported to where destiny took him.

"Okay men take 5! If you aren't assigned as a guard, head to the ship! You'll be escorting the princess to her quarters when she arrives!"

"Decorations... Beautiful..."

"Yes, the decor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed."

"Not the decor, Her!" Spike pointed to a certain pony who was a very generous soul.

"How are my scales? Are they straight?" She ignored Spike, proceeding to talk to the mare.

"Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help yo--" she gasped in awe and fright.

"Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?!" She looked at Spike and back at the mare.

"Oh, you mean my mane? It's a long story. I just need to come here and check the decorations and I'll be out of your hair!"

"But darling, what about your hair?!?"
____________
Outside...

"This sucks! I have to stay outside while they have all the fun inside." He sat outside of the building, just waiting for them to leave.

"Slacking on the job, eh?" He looked up seeing his ferocious and merciless leader: Meta Knight.
