#1

It was a beautiful summer afternoon. Two young sisters, Scootaloo, a young pegasus, and Apple Bloom, a young earth pony, were hanging in the back yard with their friends Sweetie Belle, a young unicorn, Twist and Babs Seed, who were both earth ponies as well. Their mother, Cookie Crumbles, was busy shopping at the grocery store for supplies for her and her husbands trip. The eldest sister, Rarity a unicorn, was busy hanging out in her room when she picked up her phone. She dialed a number than waited impatiently as her crush, Spike the dragon, to answer the phone. When he did, he sounded very tired.

"Uhh, hello?" Rarity giggled, excited that he picked up his phone.

"Hello, Spike!! It's me, Rarity!" Spike smiled slightly as he heard her voice.

"Oh, hi Rarity. You realize it's like... 2am in Maris." he said. Spike was currently vacationing in Maris, Prance for a while during the summer and Rarity forgot the there was a different time line. She blushed and giggled sheepishly.

"Oops! Ahahah... Sorry... I... was just wondering how your vacation's going." Spike sighed as he laid back down in his bed

"Actually, it's funny you called because you were in my dream just now." Rarity gasped excitedly, Spike was dreaming about her?

"Really?" However her mood changed quickly when she heard a noise in her back yard. Knowing what it was, she tried to ignore it. Spike, oblivious to whats going on, continued.

Yeah, it was weird... You and I were in this Dixieland band and there was an iguana playing an oboe..." Rarity tried to listen but snapped when the sound in the back yard increased.

"I gotta go, Spike." She interrupted. "I'll call you later." Spike chuckled slightly as the phone hung up, knowing exactly whats going on. Rarity ran down stairs, dialing a new number. When her mother picked up, she didn't bother to let her speak.

"Mother!"Do you hear that?" she asked, knowing her mother was close home. Cookie gave an exasperated sigh as she looked outside the taxi window.

"I can't hear anything over all this road construction." she responded as she looked outside the window. Many stallions were busy working on fixing the road. Rarity ran to the window with her phone in her magic next to her ear. Outside, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Twist. Sweetie Belle and Babs were cheering on a huge pony robot who was currently jumping rope. Rarity groaned as she stared at the contraption.

"But Mother, they've built a giant...rope jumping robot and it's... " she paused as she placed the phone on her chest. "Scootaloo will you turn that thing off? I'm trying to bust you!" She shouted at them. The orange pegasus shrugged her shoulders.

We can't, its become self-aware! The jump roping was his idea!" she shouted back, pointing at the huge robot. She heard the front door open and close, indicating her mothers arrival. She immediately rushed over to her.

"Mother!" she rushed over to her, causing her to almost drop her grocery's she just baught.

"Mother! Mother!" Rarity exclaimed, pointing to the back door. Cookie Crumbles sighed tiredly, the same routine everyday.

"Okay, I'm here. What did you wanna tell me?" she said. Impatient, Rarity went behind her and started to push.

"Backyard now!" The pants wearing unicorn glared down at her daughter as she continued to push her.

"Excuse me?" she asked irratedly. Rarity stopped pushing, realizing how she looked, and blushed embarrassingly.

"Backyard now, please?" she asked, batting her eyelashes. Her mother rolled her eyes and started walking to the back, Rarity quickly at her heels. While at the back, the five fillies watched as the robot continue to jump rope.

"I jump, therefore I am." said the robot. A smacking sound was heard and all the fillies turned their heads to see a small alligator.

"Oh, there you are, Gummy." said Scootaloo. While all the fillies distracted by the new arrival, nopony noticed that the robots jumping rope got caught by a near by plane flying up ahead lifting the rope and the robot just as the two mares arrived at the door.

"Right back here, Mother!" said Rarity, facing back on the back yard. "Look, there they are." When Cookie looked, all she saw was the five fillies and the alligator.

"Hi, kids. Did you have fun today?" Scootaloo and the rest nodded their heads.

"Yes, yes we did." she said as Rarity stared outside, mouth agape, dumbfounded. Cookie nodded her head.

"Good for you. I would've been home sooner, but it took me an hour for the taxi driver to drive around the road construction in the neighborhood. It sure would be helpful if they could just make the days a little longer." she chuckled to herself as she walked back inside. "Who do I call about that?"

Scootaloo sighed as she and Apple Bloom started to walk back inside, waving good bye to her friends. "Our vacation is more than halfway over, and what have we accomplished?"

Apple Bloom gave her a 'Really' look.

"Okay, so we built a rollercoaster, we traveled through time twice, found Atlantis, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, see? We've hardly done anything!

Apple Bloom rolled her eyes.

"We need a real challenge. We need to create the biggest, longest, funnest summer day of all time!" Scootaloo gasped as she turned to her yellow sister.

"Apple Bloom, I know what we're gonna do tomorrow!"

♪ Discord in a Jet Airplane! ♪

Discord the draconequus was laying back in his airplane chair, with hiw step daughter sitting next to him reading a thick book.

"Well, Twilight, are you looking forward to seeing Tokyo on our daddy-daughter trip?" he asked. The purple unicorn shrugged, not looking away from her book.

"Yeah... I was really hoping for Maris. I mean, I did drop all those hints, but I guess Tokyo is more exotic." she smiled, thinking of all the things she could learn there. Discord chuckled, happy to spend time with Twilight, but he also has other plans as well.

"Yes, that's why I chose Japan over Maris at the last moment! That makes perfect sense. There is no other ulterior motive behind it all, so, you know..." he trailed off, not knowing what else to say. After the divorce, him and his step-daughter have been very distant lately, so he really wanted this trip to go well and so he could also get some 'work' done as well. The planes speaker crackled as the captain voice was heard.

"Uh, this is your captain speaking, we're expecting a slight delay for our arrival to Tokyo." Discord groaned in annoyance

"That's always something. Turbulence, headwinds," he looked out the window, "giant jump-roping robots..." Twilight raised an eyebrow at that last part. Outside, the robot from earlier was still hanging to the rope, which was still caught by the planes wing.

"I dangle, therefore, I am..." said the robot.

Back at the house, Rarity watched as her mother and father was packing for their trip.

"So Mother, while you're away, I'm in charge, right? For two whole days?" she asked excitedly. Wanting nothing more then to be in charge of the girls. Cookie nodded as she folded some laundry with her magic.

"That's right. Remember, no stallions over." Rarity rolled her eyes.

"Of course, Mother. Spike's in Maris anyway. So... When you say I'm in charge, what exactly do you mean by that?" she asked, wanting to be certain she can control the girls. The mother sighed gently.

"Well, to put it simply, I mean, 'You're in charge.'" Rarity's grin widened

"So if Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are up to something bust-worthy, and I am, as you say... 'In charge', I have free reign to call you as many times as necessary?" she asked, getting more and more excited.

"Quite the contrary, Rarity. Being in charge means you handle things yourself." Cookie responded as she started to zip her suit case. "Yup. Basically, if you're really in charge, you won't need to call at all. You see, if the girls are doing something bust-worthy, that means you're not doing your job and you would be in trouble too." Rarity gasped, as the mother smirked lightly. Now she wouldn't have to dread her daughters phone calls for two days.

"Woah, woah, hold on! By busting the boys, I bust myself?" Rarity asked, but didn't get an answer because of her father, Hondo Flanks.

"Ah, there's the rub. Right next to the pair o' ducks." he cracked up at his own joke as he levitated both his rub and a book. "I'm also packing this book of puns!" The white mustached unicorn said as he zipped up his suitcase. After the goodbyes, all three children waved as the taxi driver trotted off with their parents.

"Bye kids!" Cookie called as they drove away.

"Bye, Mother! Bye, Father! Have a nice time!" Rarity called back.

"Have a awesome trip!" Scootaloo shouted, causing Rarity to winced at the volume.

For the rest of the evening, Rarity went back to her room, trying to call Spike again while both Scootaloo and Apple Bloom planned for their big adventure the next day.

#2

Last night, Rarity tossed and turned in her bed, talking in her sleep.

"Maris... French mares and... Spike... Iguana playing an oboe..." she woke up with a start, early in the morning. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed for one of her friends. She sits up from her bed, waiting for the her to wake up.

"ugh what?" a tired voice answered.

"Rainbow dash? I am freaking out here!" there was a small pause before a long, tired sigh was heard from the other end.

"Ugh...Fine! I'll be right over." Rainbow said. Rarity squealed.

"Excellent! Thank you! And could you bring some breakfast?" Rainbow hung p. "Hello?"

In the back yard, the two fillies were working hard under a tarp, the sun slowly rising in the distance. A group of their friends arrived and their best friends Sweetie Belle, Babs Seed and Twist. Sweetie sighed wistfully as she stared at Scootaloo, a couple of her friends giggled at the sight of the love struck unicorn. Its been known that the white filly has a huge crush on Scootaloo since they were little. Of course, Scootaloo was oblivious to the whole thing. Snapping herself back the the present. She flashed Scootalooa smile.

"So Scootaloo, whatcha doin'..." she looked at the sky, "Up so early?" Scootaloo buzzed her wings excitedly.

"Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year! And Apple Bloom and I are gonna make it even longer." Sweetie Belle raised an eyebrow at the tarp.

"So you built the Statue of Liberty?" Scootaloo looked very confused.

"No... " But paused as she saw that her invention actually looked like the Statue of Liberty. "Oh, wow. That is weird." She removed the tarp to reveal a medium sized jet. "Behold! The Amazing Sun-Beater 3000!"

The group ooed and ahed at the jet.

"Wow! Amazing!"

"It's a name followed by a big number!" Babs said, impressed.

"It's fast and it runs on vegetable oil, so it's environmentally friendly. In this ship, we will travel around the world as the sun does, making this, the longest day of summer, even longer! That'll give us twenty-four hours of continuous daylight; and add the extra fifteen hours we would've had anyway, that's almost a forty-hour day!" Scootaloo exclaimed excitedly, Apple Bloom nodded in agreement. However, Babs scoffed.

"It can't be done! There's only twenty-four hours in a day and that's that!" she said. Scootaloo smirked smugly.

"Well, yes and no. You see, Babs, if you define the day by the passage of the sun, and we follow the sun by travelling around the..." she started but got inturrupted by Babs.

"Nah, nah! Don't try to confuse me with your technical ways. There's nothin' I've ever seen that would make me believe you could pull this off. Except for that time-machine thing, and oh, and the rollercoaster! But other than that, nothin'! Oh, and the time you played that song when the alligator came back, oh... Man, nature just bends to your will, doesn't it?" Scootaloo chuckled.

"Yeah, nothing's impossible if you believe you could do it." Babs crossed her hooves stubbornly.

"Well, I don't believe and therefore it's impossible. And what's more, I bet you can't do it!" Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"You bet us?" Scootaloo asked. Babs nodded her head, smirking herself.

"Yeah, I bet you! And if you lose, you're gonna have to stand up in front of everyone and say that you are governed by the laws of physics and summer's not whatever you want to make of it. And what's more, you've gonna spend the rest of your summer doin' nothin'!" The friends oohed.

"And what happens when we win?" Scootaloo asked. Babs thought for a moment.

"Hmmm... I'll eat a bug." Every pony snickered slightly.

"Babs, you'd eat a bug right now if we asked." Scootaloo said. Babs raised an eyebrow.

"Are you asking?" Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"No." Babs sighed, then smirked once more.

"All right. How about I give you back your scooter I took when we were little?" Scootaloo gasped.

"My scooter!" Scootaloo remembered her scooter, it was her most prized possession before Babs took it when they were young. But, she also remembered she wasn't the only one who got something taken.

"How about this?" she said, "When we make it back here before the sun sets, you gotta give everyone their bikes back." The crowd cheered, agreeing with the wager. Babs marched up to Scootaloo and looked her right in the eyes.

"I still get to eat the bug though, right?" Scootaloo sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Sure thing, Babs." Babs glared her down.

"I want the bug." However Sweetie Belle intervened, looking worried.

"Scootaloo, what are you doing? You're putting your entire world view on the line. And for what? A bunch of bikes?"

"And a bug!" Babs added.

"Sweetie Belle, it isn't about the bikes. It's about my world view. You see, we all gotta ask ourselves just one question." A smoke bomb appeared and a blue unicorn with a silver mare started singing.

♪ What is a summer really ♪
♪ But a tepid month or 3? ♪

Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow at Scootaloo. "Trixie Lulamoon?" she asked. Scootaloo shrugged.

"Yeah. I hired a stunt singer, what do you think?"

♪ If you agree with Babs ♪
♪ That's all it will ever be ♪
♪ And we don't need to break the laws of physics ♪
♪ To make a day that's longer than a day ♪
♪ We can follow that old sun 'round the circumference of the globe ♪
♪ And stop all the naysayers from nay-say... ing ♪
♪ 'Cause I believe we can ♪
♪ And that's the measure, the measure of a man ♪
♪ It may sound far-fetched, this thing we've got planned ♪

Then another smoke bomb exploded and Countess Coloratura appeared singing with Trixie.

♪ But I believe we can ♪
♪ I believe we can (Ooh, I believe we can) ♪
♪ And that's the measure, the measure of a man (Oh, that's the measure of a man) ♪

Scootaloo nudge Apple Bloom lightly. "Countess Coloratura. Nice."

♪ We'll make it back here (We'll make it back here) to where we began... (Oh...) ♪

Then one of the jets wing fell off. Scootaloo groaned.

♪ Or at least that's the plan! ♪

Everypony laughed.

♪ Of course, first you're gonna have to fix this wing, yeah! ♪

Countess Coloratura sang before looking around.

"Hey, where's Gummy?"

Some where in the house, the small alligator was sound asleep, WAS. Until the floor gave out and he fell. Only, he didn't fall in a hole, but in a tube. He rolled his eyes, aligned them, sighed and put on his trade mark fedora. He arrived at the end of the tube and landed directly on his chair in his headquarters. A huge monitor was in front of him and he expected to see his boss, Major Celestia, telling him why she called, only to see Luna, Major Celestia half-paid intern.

"Uh, hi, Agent G. Major Celestia isn't here right now, but she left this note."

She cleared her throat, trying to sound like her boss.

"'Dear Luna, I haven't been kidnapped so don't come looking for her... I mean me.'"

Luna shrugged.

"Kinda weird, though, that she took the time to cut each letter out of a magazine. Anyway, Discord is on vacation with his daughter in Tokyo right now which is where the Annual World Good Guy convention is being held, and Major Celestia is the keynote speaker. Coincidence? 100% yes! So I guess you got the day off!"

Gummy rolled his eyes as he was about to go back up the tube. Yeah right. He thought.

Back at the house, Rarity and her friend Rainbow Dash, a rainbow maned pegasus, were finishing their breakfast that Rainbow have brought in the kitchen.

"All right," she said, " you got your breakfast. What's eating you?" Rarity sighed.

"Well, you know how Spike's in Prance for another week?" Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, so?"

"Do you know what they have in Prance?" The blue pegasus tilted her head in thought.

"The pyramids?" Rarity gave her an incredulous look.

"No! Prench mares!" Rainbow groaned.

"Come on, Rarity. Everybody knows that you and Spike are an item." Rarity shook her head.

"Not officially..." she sighed, "He's never even called me his marefriend. We've never even kissed! That means Spike's single, in Maris, and surrounded by Prench mares. I'm no fool, Rainbow, I've seen the oil paintings." Rainbow rolled her eyes once again at her friends dramatics and patted her on her back.

"Rarity, you got to believe in yourself. What do Prench girls have that you don't have?" Rarity whimpered slightly.

"At the moment, Spike." Rainbow sighed.

"Rarity, if you want him to call you his marefriend, maybe you should call him your stallionfriend." Rarity gasped dramaticly.

"I can do that? I can use the S-word first?"

"Sure, why not?" Rainbow said shrugging. Rarity sighed once again, having a lot to think about.

"Oh, and Rainbow, pyramids? Really?"

"Oh, right. That's Belgium, isn't it?" Rarity face hoofed.

Discord and Twilight were at the airport, waiting for their luggage. Twilight was reading a book about Tokyo, getting more excited as she read on.

"Look at this, it says that the tallest structure in Tokyo is the Tokyo Tower. And it even looks like the Eiffel Tower!"

Discord smirked slightly at her, keeping his eyes on the conveyor belt.

"See? It's just like we're in Prance! Oh, here's my bag now!" Twilight looked up and groaned, slamming her book shut.

"I can't believe you brought work with you!" she exclaimed, glaring daggers at Discord. The 'bag' Discord talking about was his arch-nemesis, Major Celestia. She was currently going down the conveyor belt in a burlap sack, with her head sticking , glaring at Discord. Twilight was actually surprised no one was freaking out at the moment. A halo appeared on top of Discords head as he reached for his 'bag'.

"What do you mean?" Twilight sighed as she rubbed her face with her hoof.

"Dad, you've got some mare tied up in here." Discord placed Major Celestia on the floor and wrapped an arm around Twilight.

"No, no, Twilight. We've got some mare tied up in here." Major Celestia sighed.

"I've got a name, you know." Discord rolled his eyes and groaned.

"All right. Twilight, Major Celestia. Major Celestia, Twilight. There, you happy now?!" Celestia rolled her eyes.

"I've never been happier." Discord chuckled as he took Major Celestia and threw her over his shoulder.

"Come on, let's go get a taxi." Major Celestia groaned.

"I'd prefer a town car." Discord snapped his fingers and a muzzle appeared on her.

"Quiet, you!" Twilight blushed embarrassingly, sticking her nose closer and closer into the book, hiding her face completely in shame.

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were looking at their extra huge map.

"Okay, we're getting a slight late start because of the broken wing, but here's the whole route. With stops in Tokyo and Maris to refuel." Sweetie Belles ears perked up and immediately rushed over to the orange pegasus.

"You're going to Maris?" she asked, excited. Scootaloo shrugged.

"Yeah, wanna come?" Sweeties eyes bulged, cheeks flushing.

"To the City of Love?" Scootaloo was examining the huge map, oblivious to the love sick unicorn beside him. Apple bloom rolled her eyes.

"That's what they call it." Sweetie shook her head.

"You're asking me, to go to the City of Love, with you?" Her heart was pumping fast. Scootaloo turned to look at her, flashing her a grin.

"Yeah, it'll be fun." Her heart just burst. However, just to be sure,

"Now, let me see if I got this straight..." she couldn't finish because of Babs.

"Hey Scoots! I'm goin' with you to make sure you don't cheat." Sweetie sighed sadly, Apple Bloom patting her on the back. Again, oblivious to it all, Scootaloo shrugged.

"Okay. So Twist, you wanna come too?" the small earth pony shrugged as well.

"Well, naturally--" Once again, Babs inturrupted.

"I get one carry-on."

"All right. Carry on, then." she snickered to her own joke, Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. She turned back to the both singers from before who were fixing the wing. "Did you get that wing fixed yet?" Trixie shrugged.

"Trixie guesses so. We pretty much used up all the packing tape." Scootaloo nodded her head and clapped her hooves together, getting everyponys attention.

"Okay, the clock is ticking, everypony!" Rarity ran outside, ripping the extra huge map slightly.

"Scootaloo! What's going on here?" Scootaloo smiled, wings buzzed excitedly.

"We're flying around the world to make the longest, funnest day of summer ever." However, Rarity was having none of it. She shook her head vigorously.

"Oh, no, no, no. Mother left me in charge, and I say you and your little friends are not going anywhere--" Rainbow interrupted her.

"Hey, Rarity, check out this giant map!" Rarity rolled her eyes and groaned. She turned around only to stop as she saw the trajectory they were going to go.

"You're going to Maris...? Prance?" Scootaloo nodded

"That's the plan. We'll have to stop and refuel." Rarity stared at the map, deep in thought. Then a brilliant idea popped into her head.

"Like I was saying, you and your little friends are not going anywhere...without me!" Rainbow eyes widened, shaking her head in protest.

"No, no, no, no, Candace! This is a bad idea! About as bad as you've ever had in a long line, and I love you when I say this, really, really bad ideas." Rarity grabbed Rainbows cheeks, squishing them close together.

"Rainbow, they're going to Maris! Where Spike is!" Rainbow pulled her face away.

"You promised your mom you'd keep your sisters out of trouble." Rarity giggled.

"What better way to look after them than by going along and keeping them out of trouble along the way?" Rainbow couldn't help but face hoof.

"You realize that's a massive rationalization, don't you?" Rarity nodded, still giggling

"Oh yes, totally." Rainbow stared at Rarity for a good long second before chuckling, shaking her head slightly.

"Well, say hi to Spike for me! And hey, you should stop by and see my cousins in Tokyo!" Scootaloo looked at her sister.

"Apple Bloom, did you get the giant map packed?" Apple Bloom patted a small pocket on her saddle bag. Scootaloo nodded, impressed.

"Wow, mad folding skills." she said, while bro-hoofing her. "You guys all ready?" Rarity and Rainbow hugged before she climbed inside. Twist clumsily climbed inside, she almost lost balance but didn't, until Babs pushed her inside.

"Ready for you to lose!" she said. Both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo climbed in the jet and strapped in their seat belts. Scootaloo started the jet, but paused.

"Uh, Apple Bloom?"

Apple Bloom looked out and saw their house is blocking the way. Apple Bloom clicks a button on the jet, lowering the house down into the ground. Scootaloo nodded and turned around to the other mares.

"All right, everyone, make sure your tray tables are stowed and your seats are in their full and up--" but couldn't finish because the airplane takes off in fast speed. The house rises again and the backyard is a mess from the take-off. Dinky, one of the friends of the crowd clapped her hooves.

"Okay, everypony. We have roughly forty hours to get this backyard in line and set up for the party. Let's go, go, go!" Trixie rolled her eyes.

"Who left her in charge?" Dinky marched up to the singers, a rake in her magic.

"Here, make yourself useful." she said as handed them a rake. Trixie looked at the rake, to Countess, then back to the rake, then at Dinky.

"You know, we're only booked for the hour!" she shouted. Countess giggled before grabbing a rake herself.

Boom! #2! Heyo!:yay: They're going on a trip, in a special rocket ship, going through the sky... :twilightsheepish:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNDD I'm done... :heart: Good luck getting that song out of your head!:rainbowdetermined2:

#3

The Amazing Sunbeater 3000 flying over a body of water, every pony looked outside the window. Scootaloo sighed.

"So, what did you guys think of the Pacific Ocean?" Babs shrugged.

"Eh, probably like my fifth favorite ocean." Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"Next stop: Tokyo!"

Back at Tokyo, Discord, Twilight and Major Celestia were standing on top the Tokyo tower. Twilight was nose deep in her book.

"It says here that the Tokyo Tower is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world!" she said. However, of course, nopony was listening to her.

"Oh, look down there, that stallion just fell off his bike." Discord said while laughing. Twilight looked up and sighed once more.

"But..it says nothing about a...giant water balloon." Truth be told, there was a huge water balloon, attached to a crane, which was attached to the Tokyo tower. She looked at her step-father with a pissed off raised eyebrow.

"Dad?"

"Do you like it?" Twilight was actually a little surprised that he asked and looked hopeful of her answer, but of course she wasn't going to be honest. Instead she gave a tired sigh.

"We're supposed to be on vacation." Discord waved a paw.

"Ah, we'll be on our way as soon as Major Celestia drops this water balloon on the entire International Good Guy convention." Celestia scoffed, her muzzle removed long ago.

"I would never pull an elaborate childish prank like that. It would ruin my reputation! Destroy my credita- oh," she glared at him, "I see where you're going with this." Discord laughed maniacally.

"Yes! And best of all, without your leadership, it will totally put an end to the...yes... What's the name of your organization again?" Celestia sighed.

"The O.W.C.A. The Organization Without a Cool Acronym." Discord nodded.

"Okay. Well I'm going to put an end to Ah-ooh-CA, I guess...? Wow, that really isn't a cool acronym." Major Celestia shrugged.

"Told ya."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tokyo, Japan." Scootaloo exclaimed as the jet came to view. Rarity looked down.

"Hey, Rainbows has family down there. We should visit."

"We're one step ahead of you, Rarity." she said before diving down. Rarity screamed as Babs and Twist held for dear life.

"Here we are!" said Scootaloo before it starts dragging against the road until it comes to a complete stop. Apple Bloom tapped Scootaloo's shoulder and pointed to a button with a wheel picture on it.

"Whoops." she chuckled sheepishly before pressing the button and the landing wheels pop out. "I thought it sounded a little grindy and sparky." Every pony got out of the jet slightly disoriented. Apple Bloom was the first to come back to her senses. She noticed an old pegasus mare close by and walked up to her.

"Kon'nichiwa! Suteishī no tomodachi desu!" ("Hello! We are friends of Rainbow!") she said, trying to speak in her language. Wasn't she and her friends surprised when she said;

"Hey, everybody! Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are here!" apparently they are well known in Tokyo. A bunch of pegasus mares came running out, excited.

"Wow!" said Scootaloo, "Rainbow sure has a lot of cousins."

♪ Welcome to Tokyo ♪
♪ Being glad that you are here ♪
♪ We came visiting, Delightful us ♪
♪ Welcome to Tokyo ♪

"Hey, do you guys have any vegetable oil we can use? We need to refuel." asked Scootaloo, while dancing to their catchy tune. One of the pegasi nodded.

"Oh, sure. Blossomforth owns a Hay burger restaurant."

♪ As for a list of exotic amusements ♪
♪ We choice between the summer there ♪
♪ It is here we look at baseball ♪
♪ Like the fact that it does ♪

The group gets back on the jet and waved goodbye at all of them.

"Thanks a lot! We'll say hi to Rainbow for you!" said Scootaloo before sighing, "Man, Tokyo's a fun town!" Rarity blinked a few times.

"I have no idea what just happened."

Back at the Tokyo Tower, Twilight was still on top, listening boredly at the two 'adults' debating. Major Celestia still tied up.

"No one in the Agency will ever believe that I dropped that water balloon." she said, glaring at Discord.

"Oh, they will. Because you're going to confess that you did it on-camera for the world to see!" he said, causing her to scoff.

"You can't make me talk. I have nerves of steel and...an iron will and...gold teeth and a...copper spleen. Basically, I'm 35% metal." she said with a shrug, trailing off a bit. Discord gave her a sympathetic wince.

"Oh, man. It must be hard getting through the airport." Major Celestia groaned slightly, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, don't get me started. Anyway, you can't make me talk." she said firmly. Discord smirked.

"Oh yeah?" (He puts his fingers on the Major's mouth as if he's the one talking, than imitated his voice in the worse way possible. "I am Major Monogram. I dropped that water balloon. I have poopy pants." He pulled back his claw. "Eh?" The Major blinked, surprised.

"Well. I stand corrected. That's actually very convincing." Twilight groaned, having enough.

"Dad! This entire trip has been about your work! That's it! If you don't want to spend time with me, then I don't want to spend time with you." she said before walking away with her book. Discord looked back, shocked. Forgetting about Major Celestia, he teleported in front of Twilight.

"Twilight! Where are you going?" Twilight however walked around him and continued.

"I'm going to the airport and I'm flying to Maris." A small alligator in a fedora landed right next to Twilight. However, she was not fazed, knowing exactly who it was. Her step-fathers OTHER nemesis. She sighed. "Hey, Gummy." The alligator tipped his hat to her as a sign of hello. Twilight returned back at Discord, glaring angerly at him. "Alone if I have to!" She turned around and continued walking.

"Twilight, wait!" he said, desperate for her not to leave. Twilight stopped, but didn't turn around. Discord tried to think of something, anything. But the only think that came out was; "You have all the traveler's checks." She turned around again, with a raised eyebrow.

"Traveler's checks? Really?!" she shouted angerly. Discord chuckled nervously, wilting under his step-daughters stare.

"Ohh, did I say traveler's checks? Uhh, no, no... I do wanna spend time with you... Ohh look, look. I'll drop the water balloon right now and..." He reached for the button, ready to press it when Gummy jumped up and bit Discords paw, preventing him to press the button. Discord tried to shake him off, but instead lost grip of the remote. The remote hits Major Celestia on the forehead before dropping on the ground and breaking, the button on it beginning to blink.

"Cheese and crackers!" she muttered, shaking her head. Then she noticed the blinking button. "Oh, excuse me, you two... But uh...is that button supposed to be blinking like that?" Everypony turned to the button. Discord nodded happily.

"Yep! That means it's working!" The water balloon starts swinging from where it's attached on the top of the tower, heading straight to Twilight.

"Ohh, this can't be good." she muttered before she gets knocked over by the water balloon and falls off the tower. Discord ran over to where she fell off.

"Twilight! NOO!" he shouted, looking over the ledge. Twilight screamed as she falls before she's caught by Scootaloos and Apple Blooms jet. Discord cheered.

"Oh, they caught her! They caught her!" he shouted excitedly. Twilight groans as she pulls herself away from the glass and was surprised to see a filly she knows from Ponyville in the jet.

"Apple Bloom?" Apple Bloom blinked in surprise.

"Twilight?" Scootaloo chuckled, unfazed by the unicorn mare on the windshield.

"No matter where we go, Apple Bloom knows everypony." Apple Bloom opens the door to allow Twilight to enter. She sighed.

"Thanks, guys." Scootaloo shrugged.

"It's a good thing we came along when we did. So where do we drop you?" Twilight shrugged as well. Not really wanting to see her step-father at the moment.

"I don't know. Where are you guys going?"

"Well, we're off to Maris to refuel then back to Ponyville." Twilights eyes shone. They're going to Maris?

"Can I just come with you?" she asked, hoping for them to say yes.

"Sure." Twilight squealed excitedly as she buckled herself in. Discord can stay in Tokyo, she's going to Maris! The jet continues on flying away and Discord watches from the Tower.

"Wait, wait, wait..." he called back. "You saved her and now you're running off with her like...? OH! I have very mixed feelings about you!" he shouted, pointing a finger at them. Of course, it continued to fly off. He looked at the alligator who was still biting his paw. "Uh... Gummy the Gator, how did you get here? I-I need a ride." he looked at Major Celestia. "Could you guys help me out?" Celestia raised an eyebrow, still tied up in the bag.

"You're kidding, right?" Discord shook his head, giving Gummy and Major Celestia a pleading look while on all fours.

"No! I have to save my daughter. This is a big deal! Oh please? Please please? Oh, please please-y weasy please please? Please?" Gummy rolled his eyes and let go of Discords paw. He waddled to Major Celestia and shrugged, as if saying he didn't mind. Major Celestia sighed.

"Fine. But after we get her back, you're going to answer for what you've done here, mister." Discord eyes widened. He stood back up and glared at Major Celestia.

"Wait, what? You were coming here, anyway, and... " He didn't get to finish however when he accidentally steps on the button and water balloon is released from the rope and flies up into the sky. All eyes were on the balloon as it flew higher and higher. Once it was out of sight, Discord looked back at the two blushing and chuckling nervously. "Oh, and uh... As far as flinging that water balloon into orbit, hehheh... " he puts his fingers on Major Celestia's mouth again. "I did that." he said, mimicking Major's voice again. She spat his hand out, sticking her tongue in disgust.

"Seriously. When was the last time you washed your hands?"

Back at the Sunbeater 3000, the group was currently flying over the Himalayas, getting closer to their destination. Scootaloo turned slightly, still driving the jet.

"OK, everypony! Keep an eye out for the Bugbear!" Rarity raised an eyebrow.

"Bugbear?" Scootaloo nodded.

"Yeah, the Bugbear! The magical old-timey bear/bee that lives in the Himalayas!" Rarity rolled her eyes.

"You're making that up." she said. Scootaloo scoffed.

"Come on Rarity, does that sound like something somepony would make up?" Rarity opened her mouth, ready to answer, when a button started flashing on the dash board.

"What's that?" she asked instead. Both Scootaloo looked at each other nervously.

"Uh oh, we didn't calculate for the weight of an extra body." Scootaloo said nervously, Apple Bloom started to press buttons. Rarity and the rest of the friends looked nervous as well.

"Will this affect our arrival in Maris?" she asked. Scootaloo frowned, trying to solve the problem.

"Hmm... let me let you know in about two seconds." and within those two seconds, both wings of the plane broke off. Scootaloo looked back at Rarity.

"Rarity?" Rarity looked worried.

"Yes?"

"It IS going to affect our arrival in Maris!" The jet fell, everypony screamed as they plummeted to the ground. Both Scootaloo and Apple Bloom pressed buttons, trying to soften the landing. Thankfully, they crashed into a large pile of snow. And to add insult to injury for Rarity, a Bugbear slowly flew past them. Even with all that's happened, Scootaloo couldn't help but smile smugly at her sister.

"And you thought I'd made it up!"

Discord, Major Celestia and Gummy were flying in Gummy's hovercraft. Major Celestia was now untied and in the passenger seat while Discord was crammed in the back seat.

"Do you even have any idea where we're supposed to be going?" Major Celestia asked. Discord grinned widely.

"Fortunately, Twilights's wearing the earrings I got her. They're made out of these cool little tracking devices. Look," He showed the alicorn a monitor with a blinking light flashing on the screen. "see; the signal's not too far away but it's on the move." Discord pointed left. "That away! Woohoo! Team Discord, go!" Both Major Celestia and Gummy glared at Discord. "What? Like I'm going to let you name the team? Organization Without a Cool Acronym?" Both agents rolled their eyes while Discord smiled smugly.

Back at the Himalayas, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were both frantically trying to fix the plane while Babs sat back, a huge smirk on her face.

"Well, looks like you're gonna lose!" she said, chuckling. Twist gasped, getting an idea.

"Hey! I believe my Uncle Breaburn lives not far from here! Perhaps he can help!" Scootaloos head popped up.

"Cool! Come on, let's go!" Every pony got up and started following Twist. However Rarity didn't budge.

"Forget it. I'm staying with the plane." Twilight looked at Rarity, then back at the group before sighing.

"And I'll keep her company." Scootaloo shrugged.

"Okay. Back in a few." The children left the two mares, following Twist until they arrived by a odd building. The closer they got, the more it looked like a factory, but more joyful then a regular one. Twist broke into a grin when she saw a yellow earth pony in a cowboy hat and small vest despite the cold.

"He is home!" she said before trotting up to her uncle, he seemed joyfully surprised.

"Ah, Twist and friends, I was expecting you." he said. Everypony's eyes widdened in shock.

"Really?" Twist asked. Breaburn laughed loudly, shaking his head.

"No, that's just something we say up here to freak out the tourists." Scootaloo looked curiously at the factory.

"Uhh, Uncle Breaburn, do you live up here?" The stallion nodded.

"Yes, it's quite a trek, isn't it? It used to be very inconvenient for me. But then I built my factory up here, and now it's inconvenient for everyone else!" he said with another laugh.

"What do you make here?" Scootaloo asked. Breaburn gasped as he started shoving the children inside excitedly.

"Ohh, wait for it. There's a whole musical number." Immediately, a bunch of earth ponies bursted out of the many room inside the cozy factory. At fast speed, a bunch of dancers showed them each room.

At the end of the song, a bunch of dancers were posed in front of the group, out of breath. They were back into the lobby clapping their hooves, cheering. Scootaloo smirked slightly.

"So, what do you make here again?" she asked, causing her friends to giggle. However, Breaburn took this seriously, thinking his song wasn't clear enough. He clapped his hooves.

"Okay everyone, back to work." Scootaloo quickly shook her head, trying to reassure the group.

"No, I'm just kidding. Just kidding." She looked at one of the extra long bands intently. Then, her eyes shot wide, having an idea on how to fix the plane. "Could we borrow one of these?"

TADA!!!!!!!!! All done for this, off to the next!! Hurra!:raritystarry:

#5

Back at the mountain, both Twilight and Rarity were standing at the base of a mountain, looking at their phones. Rarity groaned slightly, waving her phone slightly with her magic.

"Ugh, I've got like...no bars here." Twilight hummed in thought, then looked up.

"Let's see if we get a signal further up the mountain." she said. Rarity shrugged before both mares started to climb the mountain, not noticing the flying hovercraft coming nearer.

On Gummy's hovercraft, Discord gasped excitedly, spoting his step-daughter.

"I got her! She's down there on that craggy mountain. Quick! Let's land this bird." Major Celestia looked down and shook her head.

"The terrain is too treacherous. You're going to have to parachute." With a flash of magic, a backpack appeared. "Here's your parachute, goggles and oxygen mask." Discord took them as if they were a huge lollipop.

"Wow, you have everything. How about a nice cup of hot co... " he didn't get to finish when his seat ejected him. "COOOOOOO!!!" he said while flying off. Gummy raised an eyebrow at Major Celestia since her hoof was on the ejection button. She shrugged nonchalantly, smirking happily. "Oops."

Unbeknownst to them, Discord lands on the mountain and begins to roll down, gathering snow and accidentally making a giant snowball down the mountain toward the two mares. Twilight raised her head from her phone ears swiveling in each direction.

"Do you hear a...rumbling noise?"

Back with the kids where a giant rubber band ball is attached to the bottom of the plane, Scootaloo posed her hooves as if looking through a camera before dropping them, nodding approvingly. She looked back at the gang.

"So, as soon as Rarity and Twilight get here, we can..." Everypony was startled when they heard the two mare screaming, they all looked up the mountain to see them both running down, a huge snowball at their heels.

"Start the plane! Start the plane! Start the plane! Start the plane! Start the plane! Start the plane! Start the plane!" Rarity shouted as they ran. Scootaloo looked at Apple Bloom nervously.

"Apple Bloom, I think we may wanna start the plane." Apple Bloom gave her a 'No Really' look before her and the rest jumped inside the plane. Apple Bloom tries to start it but it wouldn't start. Rarity was still screaming as they both ran down the mountain

"Start the PLANE! Start the plane! Start the PLAAANE!" Scootaloo looked worriedly at the small earth pony.

"Sounds like you're flooding it..." Apple Bloom glared at her, still trying to start it.

"I'm not flooding it!" she shouted.

"Start the plaaane!" Rarity screamed as the snowball was catching up to them. Unfortunately, Twilight gets caught by the snowball and gets flung towards the plane. She screamed as she flew.

"INCOMING!" Scootaloo shouted. Thinking fast, Apple Bloom pressed one of the buttons causes a seat to rise up and catch her before bringing her back down. She sighed in relief. However, Rarity was still running.

"Start the plane! Start the PLANE!" She trips over a small hill, causing her to fall sideways and the snowball to miss her. She looked up in surprise. "Huh?" The snowball kept spinning before it hit the plane causing it and the snowball to fall off the cliff. Rarity shrieked in terror as she got up to her hooves and ran to the edge.

"No, no, no! How am I ever going to explain this to Mother?!" she shouted. But to her surprised delight, the plane bounced back up. At first she was shocked at the rubber ball under neath the plane, noticing it for the first time. Scootaloo nodded her head towards the plane.

"Rarity! Hop on!" she said, extending her hoof. The white mare hesitated for a moment before leaping off and grabbing her sister's orange hoof. Scootaloo cheered as she pulled her in. "All right! Hold on to something!" she said before flying off, missing the hovercraft landing at the bottom of the cliff, next to the snowball. The snowball broke once it landed and inside sat a very dizzy Discord. Celestia smirking the whole while couldn't help but ask;

"So, how'd it go?"

With the rubber band ball under the plane, it started bouncing off all around the world. During the whole time, the radio was playing during their journey and an oddly ironic song played.

♪ Come on along with me ♪
♪ So many sights to see ♪

However, while bouncing, most of the rubber bands started to fall loose during the trip. Scootaloo turned back to the group.

"We're all out of rubber bands... But the good news is we're gonna crash into Maris." Rarity blinked in surprise.

"How is that good news?" she asked. Scootaloo cocked her head, confused.

"Huh? I thought you wanted to go to Maris?" Rarity raised in eyebrow in disbelief.

"Oh yeah, I did." But not if it means crashing! she thought. The plane starts to fall once again, causing everypony to scream.

"I'm feeling very conflicted about this!!" Rarity shouted. Luckily, the Sunbeater 3000 lands in the Seine River.

Author's Note

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen!!! :pinkiesmile::scootangel: They are now in Maris! Lets see what happens!

#6

The jet doors opens with the gang crawling out of the Sunbeater 3000, most of the group look a bit messed up from the crash. Once on solid ground, Scootaloo shook her head, regaining her senses.

"All right gang, we made it to Maris. We need fuel and parts so we need to split up."

Back on Gummy's hovercraft, Discord was back in the back seat, looking at his tracker.

"According to this sdƃ, Twilight's in some place called sıɹɐɯ. Hmm..." Discord stroke his beard, humming in thought. Gummy rolled his eyes before reaching back and turns over the GPS. Discord gasped happily.

"Oh, Maris! That makes a lot more sense. That's actually where she wanted to go. Good for her." he said nodding, but felt a pang of guilt as well.

Scootaloo looked over the checklist she and Apple Bloom made.

"Okay, everypony, let's get going. Rarity, you go see Spike." Rarity winked at the girls.

"Way ahead of you!" she said before running off. Scootaloo nodded before turning to Twist and Babs.

"Twist and Babs, you guys go scare up the fuel we need." Babs glared at the pegasus.

"You're still gonna lose," she said before smirking wickedly, "but do I like scaring things." Scootaloo watched them leave before turning to her sister.

"Apple Bloom, why don't you go to the Eiffel Tower and get a reading on the trade winds?" Twilight gasped excitedly. She quickly levitated Apple Bloom onto her back.

"Hop on!" she said before trotting off, Apple Bloom holding tightly Twilight's neck. Scootaloo sighed gently before looking at Sweetie Belle.

"I'm going to go see if I can go find some parts. Sweetie, you want to come with me?" Sweetie Belle couldn't help but squeal excitedly.

"YES!" she shouted before clearing her throat, trying to act nonchalant. "I mean, yeah, sure, you know, whatever. It's all good, bro." Scootaloo gave her a strange look before shrugging and started walking, Sweetie close to her heals, giggling

Rarity was wandering the streets, trying to find what hotel her Spikey-Wikey was in, a Prench-Equestrian dictionary in her magical grip.

"Okay. Jeremy's staying in the hotel La Poubelle. La Poubelle, La Poubelle, La Poubelle... " She gasped as she saw a mare walking the street and approached her, dictionary in her face. "Oh, pardonaise-moi, madam." The mare in question stopped and raised an eyebrow.

"Oui?" Rarity flipped through the pages of her book.

"Une moment. Can you tell me... Oh, 'Pouvaise-vous me dire' uh..." she groaned slightly as the mare chuckled.

"Can I tell you directions? It's okay, I speak Equestrian." she said, but Rarity was too distracted from her book to pay much attention.

"Yes. I speak Equestrian. Parlais Equestrian. Uh, ou est la Hotel Poubelle?" the mare pointed at the end of the street, smirking slightly.

"It's just around the corner." she said. Rarity groaned, flipping trough her pages again.

"Ugh, around the corner, around the corner, 'oh quan de la rou-ee?'" The mare stifled a giggle.

"Oui." Rarity flipped trough her book before sighing, slamming it shut.

"Oh, never mind. I'll find it myself." she thanked the mare before walking off. As she turns around the corner, she gasped in surprise when she saw the hotel.

"Hey, Hotel Poubelle! It was just around the corner!" she gasped once ore when she saw her little drake standing alone. "There he is! Spi -- " Rarity was about to call him but stopped herself. Spike waved at a few ponies who came over and chat. It look like they were all friends. Usually that wouldn't bother Rarity much but, most of those ponies were mares. Him and the group talked and laughed and... her Spike looked so happy. Without her... She sighed before turning around and walking away, leaving Spike and his new Prench friends behind.

Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle walked side by side in the streets, Sweetie couldn't be more happy! She batted her eyelashes at the orange pegasus.

"So Scootaloo, what do you think of the City of Love?" she asked, but Scootaloo looked distracted, oblivious of the unicorn.

"I wish it was the City of Airplane Parts." she muttered, Sweetie rolled her eyes.

"Oh, you're just too stressed. You should take a moment to relax and enjoy it." She saw a restaurant and smiled, dragging along her crush.

♪ We could share a crêpe sucrée ♪
♪ At this Parisian café ♪

"Huh. That awning could be used as a sail. Or, you know, a parachute. Depending on how things go." Scootaloo said with a shrug, walking away. Sweetie ran after her, levitating a rose.

♪ Take a break and smell these flowers ♪
♪ Underneath the Eiffel Tower ♪

Scootaloo looked up at the structure, humming in thought. "I wonder if they still have pieces of that hanging around? The rivets would come in handy." Sweetie sighed disappointingly. "Oh, Scootaloo..." She dragged her to another restaurant where a couple were sharing a crème brûlée together.

♪ Won't you share a crème brûlée with me? ♪

"Hey, look at that nifty little blow torch!" the pegasus said, Sweetie groaned.

♪ How perfect could this be ♪
♪ In the City of Love? ♪

Couples all around sang back up with the love sick unicorn.

♪ (In the City of Love) ♪
♪ In the City of Love ♪
♪ (In the City of Love) ♪

♪ We could try some fancy cheese ♪
♪ Or peruse the galleries ♪

They were walking passed an art gallery, again the pegasus not paying much attention.

"I wonder if oil-based paint is combustible...as a rocket fuel." Sweetie groaned.

♪ Isn't this a perfect day? ♪
♪ How do I look in this beret? ♪

Sweetie posed with a beret on her head, Scootaloo stared at her intentionally. At first the unicorn thought she was finally getting through to her until...

"Oh, that reminds me, we might need helmets!" Sweetie's ears drooped

♪ Oh, how can she not feel the same way ♪
♪ When we're strolling down the Champs-Élysées ♪

♪ In the City of Love? ♪
♪ (In the City of Love) ♪
♪ In the City of Love ♪

♪ I wish that she would whisper "ma chérie, je t'aime" ♪
♪ But all he wants to do is try to fix that plane ♪

♪ In the City of Love ♪
♪ (In the City of Love) ♪
♪ In the City of Love (in the City of Love) ♪
♪ In the City of Love.... (in the City of Love) ♪

Scootaloo kept walking, Sweetie following her but in a much slower pace then before.

Babs and Twist were walking on the streets of Maris, stopping in front of a restaurant.

"Now Babs, your mindless bullying may have a rustic charm stateside, but now we are in Europe. A place of high refinement. So let me do all the talking." They go inside a restaurant and meat a stallion who speaks with in a different accent.

"Excuse me, sir. Would you have any used cooking oil that we could have?" said Twist, but the stallion raised an eyebrow.

"Non." Twist shivered slightly.

"Ohh, the Prench are so intimidating!" Babs rolled her eyes and stepped foward.

"Out of my way, runt." Twist shook her head.

"Do not do anything too crazy!"

Babs walked up to the fancy stallion, blew her bangs out of her face, opened her mouth and;

"Excusez-moi mon bon monsieur. Auriez-vous par hazard un soupçon d'huile de cuisson que nous pourrions utiliser sans nous démerder un sou?" (Excuse me, good sir. Would you by chance have a touch of cooking oil that we could use without losing a penny?) Twist jaw fell to the ground. The stallion smiled and nodded his head politely.

"But of course."

Twist stares in disbelief at Babs, who quickly notices and glares at her.

"Not one word about that to the others." she muttered.

Scootaloo stares deeply at a bread store as a stallion is taking some giant, fake baguettes off of the front. Her smile widened, getting an idea.

"Pardonnez-moi, monsieur, are you throwing those away?" The stallion nodded.

"C'est les ordres." Sweetie sighed, bored out of her mind.

"This is about the plane, isn't it?" Scootaloo raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Well yeah, what else?"

"Well, I guess we'll always have giant plastic baguettes." Sweetie Belle muttered.

On top of Eiffel Tower, both Apple Bloom and Twilight were talking, well Twilight was anyway. Apple Bloom was still working on the wind coordinator.

"I don't know, Apple Bloom. I know he's my dad and I shouldn't blame him for being busy, it's just that...he always seems to put his work ahead of me." She sighs. "I just don't know what to do." Apple Bloom took the pencil out of her mouth and look at the older mare.

"Well, sometimes if you love somebody, you have to meet them halfway." she said with a shrug. Twilight raised an eyebrow, still looking at the scenery.

"Halfway, huh? Hmm." Apple Bloom looks and sees a flower shop. Thinking that maybe something to eat would make her feel better. She walks up to it as Twilight's talking. "You mean like, maybe I should take an interest in his work? I would but, it's actually evil. I just can't..." She looks to see Apple Bloom is gone. "Apple Bloom?" She looks around confused. She sighed and turn back at the scenery before screaming in shock as she saw Discord floating in front of her.

"Twilight! We've come to rescue you!" Twilight blinked in surprise, shocked.

"Dad? I was just gonna... Wait. What do you mean 'we'?" She looked over the railing and was surprised to see Gummy, Major Celestia and the hovercraft.

"I hitched a ride! You remember these guys, don't you?" Major Celestia nodded her head.

"Hello again, young lady." Twilight couldn't help but glare at Dsiscord.

"I can't believe you brought work with you again!" she said, huffing. Discord raised an eyebrow.

"Work? What do you..." he looked under him and his eyes widened. "Oh, you mean them? No, Major Cakebutt and Gummy the Gator, they...they were helping me find you!" Major Celestia glared as well at Discord.

"Cakebutt?" she said. Discord rolled his eye.

"Oh, come on. I haven't made that joke yet in this whole story! Plus its really showing, for crying out loud!" Major Celestia grumbled, crossing her hooves.

"That's it. I'm getting Luna to change the lunch menu." she muttered. Discord gave Twilight a pleading look.

"Oh, come on, Twilight. I came halfway around the world to get you!" Twilight blinked in surprise.

"Halfway?" Well, sometimes if you love somebody, you have to meet them halfway.

"Yeah, halfway around the world." Twilight pointed to herself, feeling touched.

"You met me halfway." Discord nodded.

"I suppose you could put it that way."

Both Twilight and Discord smile at each other.

"You did, didn't you? You know what Dad, move over. I'm coming with you." Twilight laughed as discord cheered and grabbed her. They hugged before Discord gave her an affectionate noogie.

"Oh, this is great, Twilight! Why don't we talk to these guys for giving us a tour in Maris? We could go check out the Guillotine Museum!" Twilight's eyes shined with excitement while Major Celestia scrunched her nose in disgust.

"Gross."

Apple Bloom comes back to with a rose in hoof, and sees Twilight flying off with Discord. Twilight waved at her as the flew off.

"Bye, Apple Bloom! Thanks for everything!" The young filly smiled and waved back, happy to help out her friend. She pooped the rose into her mouth and went back to work.

Back at the jet with Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Twist and Babs. Babs and Twist are fixing the boat while Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stand nearby. Scootaloo nodded her in as they both attached the huge baguettes.

"Well, the baguettes are rubber banded on. That should get us across the Atlantic. Why didn't we think of that in the first place?" she said, chuckling to herself. Sweetie rolled her eyes as she jotted notes on a clip board.

"Gee, I don't know." she muttered sarcastically. Just the, Apple Bloom shows up with the test results. Scootaloo nodded to her, looking around slightly.

"Hey, Apple Bloom. Where's Twilight?" Apple Bloom shrugged, handing her the results.

"She went off with someone else." she said. Scootaloo chuckled again, getting the wrong idea.

"Eh, it was bound to happen. Two ponies, alone in the City of Love. Romance was a forgone conclusion." Sweetie Belle looks on in surprise as she says this before finally breaking her pencil in anger with her magic.

"Grrrr!" she said, but of course Scootaloo was oblivious to the whole thing.

"Sweetie, did you say something?" the unicorn huffed.

"I need a new pencil." she muttered, clearly annoyed. While Apple Bloom handed her a new pencil, Rarity came back looking very depressed. Scootaloo notices this.

"Oh, hey, Rarity. So how'd it go? Did you see Spike?" The older mare sighed.

"Well, I saw him. I just didn't talk to him." Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Oh, that's too bad. I thought, you know, the two of you, a dragon, a mare, alone in the City of Love..." Sweetie Belle reacts the same way as before but instead of breaking her pencil, her head explodes.

"Grrrr!"

"Sweetie Belle?!" Sweetie blinked, showing that she's fine and it was just a dream. Scootaloo shook her shoulder.

"Sweetie Belle, are you okay?" she asked. The unicorn huffed once again, still annoyed.

"Peachy." she muttered, before walking away. Scootaloo shrugged and turned back to Rarity.

"So, what happened?" she asked. Rarity sighed dramatically while walking inside the jet, trying to find a way to explain it to her younger sibling.

"Well, you know when you know somepony, and you see that they have another, like, life away from you and it feels weird?" she said. Scootaloo tilted her head, nodding slightly while following her inside.

"Like when you see your teacher in the grocery store weird? Or like when somepony you've known for a long time starts wearing a cowboy hat weird?" Rarity blinked, trying to process what was she said.

"The...the first thing weird." Scootaloo sighed in relief.

"That's good. 'Cause I was thinking about getting the cowboy hat." Rarity raised an eyebrow at her before continuing.

"It's just... Spike looked like he was having a really good time here. And it suddenly seem creepy and obsessive that I came all this way. What if he doesn't wanna see me? Or came to Maris to get away from me?" Scootaloo patted her on the back, giving her an encouraging smile.

"Rarity, like the song said, you have to believe you can!" Rarity gave her a confused look as Twist looked up at the two.

"I think Rarity may have missed that song." she said. Babs snickered.

"Yeah, man, she was in the house!" Scootaloo gave Rarity an incredulous look.

"What?! You missed Trixie Lulamoon and Countess Coloratura?!" Rarity blinked.

"Uhh...apparently." Scootaloo stared at her for a moment before shaking her head.

"Well, that's too bad. But the jist of it was that you gotta believe in yourself." Rarity scoffed.

"Well, that's easy for you, Scootaloo! Look at all the things you've done. Summer belongs to you." Scootaloo chuckled, shaking her head.

"Summer doesn't belong to me. It belongs to everyone! And that includes you. You have to believe that." Rarity sighed sadly.

"Well, my summer's been a series of failures. I have a hard time believing in anything." Scootaloo gave her a worried look, then brightened up.

"Well...you got on this plane. You know, back when it WAS a plane. Which means you believe in us!" Apple Bloom smiled as well.

"And we believe in you." she said. Scootaloo nodded.

"And therefore, through the transitive property of belief, you do believe in yourself!" Rarity looked at her in disbelief.

"I do?" Scootaloo nodded again, her wings buzzing with excitement.

"Besides, when we did all those things, you were right there with us!" Rarity smiled herself.

"I was, wasn't I?" she said. Scootaloo cheered.

"Yes! You're Rarity Belle! Monster truck driver. Charioteer. Queen of Mars!" Rarity chuckled.

"Well, I am Rarity Belle." Scootaloo back flipped excitedly.

"That's the spirit!" Rarity stood up, getting new found confidence.

"You're right. I'm Rarity Belle! Lifeguard!" she said. Scootaloo whooped.

"That's right, Rarity!" Getting excited, Rarity starts climbing on the plane.

"Time traveler!" Scootaloo winced slightly.

"Don't break the engine!" she shouted but got ignored. Rarity stands on top of the engine before shouting: "I am Rarity Belle! Fashion Designer!" A familiar drake appeared on top of the bridge overhead, looking down at Rarity.

"Rarity?" he said. Rarity looked up and gasped in surprise.

"Spike?!" The dragon chuckled.

"It is you! I was just over there in the taxi and I saw you over..." he raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, my sisters have this idea of flying over..." she tried to explain but got cut off.

"Your sisters? Say no more." he said, chuckling. Just then the engine started running. Scootaloo winced once again.

"Oops, we slipped our mooring. Guess we're leaving. Hey Rarity, better wrap it up! Looks like we're on our way." she said. Rarity gasped and turned back to Spike.

"What? No, not yet! I have something I wanted to tell you!" Spike leaned forward, surprised.

"Really, what is it?" Rarity was blushing slightly.

"I wanted to tell you earlier but then I saw you in front of your hotel, with those kids, and the mares with the ice cream..." she got interrupted again by Spike, with a small smirk on his face.

"Rarity, were you spying on me?" Rarity blushed harder.

"No, no, it's just that I saw you and it was like...it was like my teacher wearing a cowboy hat!" she said before face hoofing. The young drake smirked, chuckling even more.

"I would hope my marefriend would have a little trust in me." Rarity gasped, shocked.

"Spike... You said the M-word!" he blushed as well.

"Well, yeah, I used the...oh...ugh, hold on!" he said before running to the other side of the bridge since the jet was still moving forward. He leaned forward at the other side. "Yeah, I used the M-word. It doesn't freak you out, does it?" he asked, but Rarity shook her head, appearing on the other side of the bridge as well.

"No, because I think of you as my S-word." Spike chuckled once again.

"Well, M-word. You want a K-word?" Rarity giggled, blushing madly.

"Heheheh, maybe?"

The two lean in, trying to kiss but the plane continues to slowly drift away. Spike was the first to notice.

"Uhh...Rarity?" he said, but Rarity still had her lips puckered, waiting for the kiss.

"All set, Spike! Start kissin'!"

"Rarity...!" he said, more louder then before. Rarity opens her eyes and sees that he's too far away. She gasped.

"No, no, no, no, no, no!" she looked back at Spike, who looked equally as upset as she did.

"W-Wait, you can't leave now! You would...just get off on the next bridge!" he shouted, however Rarity shook her head.

"I can't, I'm in charge of these girls. I-I gotta be responsible. I'll see you in a week, stallionfriend!" she called back smiling. Spike smiled as well.

"Rarity, you better take your seat." Scootaloo called. Rarity spared one more look at the dragon before sighing and getting back into the jet. Sweetie Belle gave her a small pat on the back.

"Don't worry, Rarity. The week will be over before you know it." she said before adding bitterly, "At least you got a love scene on a bridge."

"Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by the imagination." Babs quoted, Twist raised an eyebrow.

"Voltaire, Babs? Really?" the brown earth pony shrugged.

"Oh, I can't help it. Maris does it to me every time." Scootaloo looked at the clock, smiling hopefully.

"It's four o'clock, we're on a baguette boat, with a fuel tank filled with snail grease. I have a good feeling about this. Okay everypony, hold on to something!" she said before pressing a button, making the Sunbeater as a boat zooms away at top speed. Scootaloo cheered excitedly.

"Ohohoh, YEEAH!" she looked at Apple Bloom. "We're almost to Le Havre harbour, Apple Bloom. After that, it's nothing but an open ocean and a couple of remote islands! We should be home in no time!" Her smile dropped however when she notices a huge ship blocking the way. "Huh, well that might be a problem." Up above, Discord pointed up.

"Hey, check it out! It's my giant water balloon!" The balloon crashes and creates a giant wave that lets the baguette boat pass over the ship, zooming away. Everypony in the jet/boat cheered as they surfed the wave, the radio randomly started playing.

♪ Gonna follow the sun ♪
♪ Yeah, we'll follow the sun ♪
♪ As long as we had a good time, ♪
♪ We already won ♪
♪ Gonna follow the sun ♪

Scootaloo was hopping in her seat happily.

"Well, looks like everything worked out the best! That giant wave put us back on schedule. We may even arrive in Ponyville ahead of time. You know, barring any foreseen mishaps." She was cut off by the stirring wheel suddenly breaks off in her hooves. "Oh, like that. That's what I'm talking about." she said nervously. Then engine breaks. "And that." she said, getting more worried. The roof breaks off. "A-and that." she stuttered. The baguettes fall off. "And that." Everything breaks except for the seats, causing them to crash on a small deserted island. She turned to the group with big nervous eyes. "This is all exactly what I was talking about earlier." she said.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pinkiegasp: They are trapped!!! :twilightoops: What ever shall our heros do? :fluttercry:

#7

Everypony got out of whats left of the Sunbeater 3000 on a remote island. The island was practically a small patch of sand with two palm trees. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were both contemplating on what to do next.

"Well, Apple Bloom, that was our worst landing yet. I'm beginning to detect a pattern here." said Scootaloo. Behind them, Rarity was freaking out.

"Scootaloo! This isn't Ponyville; it's a deserted island! The only things on this island are us, a couple of trees and a big fat ox!" The ox glared at her.

"Hey!" he shouted but she ignored him

"When Mother and Father left me in charge, I never took into account that we might not make it back at all! Now we're stranded, and now I'll never get my kiss from Spike!" She starts crying and falls to her knees. "It's the end of romance! Aaagh!" She curls into a ball on the ground, still crying. Babs couldn't help but laugh however.

"You're gonna lose!" she said smugly. Scootaloo raised an eyebrow.

"You do realize that you're stranded on this island too, right?" Babs shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't care, I'm winning!" she laughed some more before sighing. "I'm done." Twist groaned and looked at the pegasus pleadingly.

"Scootaloo, how are we going to get off this island?" she asked. Scootaloo smiled.

"Well, we'll just have to fix the boat!" Rarity rolled her eyes.

"With what?" Scootaloo looked around.

"There's plenty here. All we need is our imagination! For instance, we could tie those two palm trees into a raft and add a super sonic outboard motor." she paused "Oh, wait...we don't have anything to cut the trees with and...we don't have an outboard motor." She looks at the ox. "Aaah, I know, we could soup up this ox so he could run on a conveyor belt that would charge the..." she paused again. "Ohh, we don't have a conveyor belt and we don't have any soup." Babs scoffed.

"Not to mention... You're never gonna make it!" Scootaloo glared at her.

"We'll make it! After all, we've got... Uhh... " she looked around. "We've got the seats! We've still got one rubber band! And we've got..." She looks at the ground after seeing nothing else before she picks up hooffuls of sand. "We've got sand!" Babs chuckled.

"Hey, maybe you could make an hourglass and watch the time slip away." she said before laughing again.

Back at Maris, the hovercraft landed in the streets, everyone hopping out.

"Well, thanks for the lift." Discord said, starting to walk away with Twilight, before being stopped by Major Celestia.

"Before you leave, we have one more thing for you." she said. Discord turned around, surprised.

"Really? What is it?" There was a click below. He looked down and saw Gummy handcuffing him.

"Those are handcuffs." she said, seeing Discords incredulous look. He glared at her.

"I know what handcuffs are. I'm not an idiot!" he looks down at Gummy, "And not one word outta you." Major Celestia shrugged.

"Well, there's a list of outstanding violations as long as your arm." she said. Discord looked at his arms.

"Ohh, well, I do have unusually long arms." he muttered, mostly to himself. twilight looked pleadingly at Major Celestia.

"But we're on vacation!" she said. Major Celestia shook her head.

"Oh, don't worry young lady. You'll be able to continue your vacation in 10–20 years." she started to pull Discord away to the hovercraft, him still muttering to himself.

"I'm gonna beat the rap, though. I've been working on a rap-beat-inator. I just don't know if it works in France. I mean, if you see the electrical outlets here, I wouldn't even know where to start."

"Hold it right there!" Everyone looked at Twilight in shock to see her holding up what looks like a ray of some sort. "Step away from the evil scientist!" she said, making Gummy and Major Celestia let go of Discord. He the whole time was beaming with pride.

"Twilight! I'm so proud of you! You are evil!" Twilight rolled her eyes as they both walked quickly to the hovercraft, still pointing the 'ray' at them.

"I'm not evil. Just get in the car before they find out this is only a hair dryer." she said before they both jump in and fly off. Twilight zapped Discords handcuffs while flying, breaking them, and throwing the hair dryer in the back seat.

"This is a hair dryer?" he said pointing at it. Twilight nodded

"Yeah. I got it in Tokyo." Discord squealed happily.

"Cool! But they didn't know it was a hair dryer when you pointed it at them, so...that means you're little evil!" he said to her. Twilight rolled her eyes again, smirking this time.

"Okay, Dad. Maybe I'm a little evil."

"I knew it!" he exclaimed, crying tears of joy. "That's okay... I'm not gonna cry..." he said, trying to wipe them off. Twilight chuckled, nuzzling him slightly while still driving.

"Dad." she muttered as they drove off, leaving the two agents below.Major looked down and the gator.

"Well, guess we could kiss that pair of handcuffs good bye. I don't about you, but I'm gonna go take in a review. See you back in the States." she said before flying off, leaving Gummy alone in the streets off Maris.

Back on the island, Scootaloo is seen in a giant hole digging with her hooves, trying desperately to find something... anything.

"There, There's got to be some minerals or something down here that we can use! I mean, we can't...we can't just be stuck here!" she exclaimed, still digging deeper and deeper into the whole. Sweetie Belle was sitting at the end of the beach, sniffling quietly to herself. She felt a tab on her shoulder, she turned around and saw Apple Bloom giving her a small handkerchief and a smile. Sweetie smiled back, accepting the tissue.

"Thanks, Apple Bloom. I just don't know what to do, I mean...we were in Maris! The most romantic city in the world, and..." she hiccuped slightly, "she didn't even notice me!" She blows in the handkerchief. "I just feel like giving up, and look at her!" They both look at the whole to see Scootaloos' head appears out of the hole she'd been digging, holding up a yellow sponge and a pink starfish.

"Look! A sponge and a starfish! There's gotta be something we can make out of this!" she shook her head, throwing the objects behind her. "Ah! Oh no, that's ridiculous!" Sweetie looked away, back to the sunset.

"It's as if I don't exist! I would give anything if she would just sit down with me and enjoy this beautiful sunset." Apple Bloom patted her on the back. She looked back at the whole to see Scootaloo walking at the, looking very desperate. She left, giving them both some time alone.

"We, we, we could—We, we we could dig a tunnel under the ocean and then we could, uh, we could...we can, we can...we...we can't. I can't...I can't believe there's nothing we can do to get off of this..." Scootaloo sighed, sitting next to Sweetie looking sadly at the view. "I guess at least we can sit and watch this beautiful sunset." Sweetie stared at the pegasus. This was the moment. She could sit here, with Scootaloo, together, alone... Then why didn't it feel right? Scootaloo was there... but sad. She gets her wish, the only huge thing she wished for today was right there in front of her hooves, but she looked so disappointed. Was her happiness worth hers?

"No." Scootaloo's head shot up, turned at her friend who was glaring at him with determination.

"What?" she asked in disbelief. Sweetie stood up.

"No, you are not going to enjoy this beautiful sunset!" Scootaloo raised an eyebrow, confused.

"I'm not?" Sweetie shook her head.

"You built a rollercoaster through downtown! You made giant tree-house robots! You traveled through time for crying out loud! Twice!" Scootaloo shook her head.

"But, Sweetie Belle, there's nothing here for me to work with." Sweetie rolled her eyes.

"Well, that's not the Scootaloo that I fell in..." She pauses, and quickly rephrases what she was going to say. "to...this...situation with. You showed us all in Apple Bloom's map how this is possible and I'm not gonna let you sit there and --" Scootaloo shot up like a bullet, getting an idea.

"Apple Bloom's map! That's it! Sweetie, you're the best!" Scootaloo hugs her before turning to Apple Bloom, unknowingly leaving Sweetie in a love smitten trance. Scootaloo ran to the earth pony. "Hey Apple Bloom. Let's see that map again." The bowed filly raised an eyebrow before reaching in her saddle bag, taking out the map and unfolding it. The map itself covered the whole island. Scootaloo ran to the map, a plan forming in her head.

"Okay. We're here, and we need to go there. And we've got about..." she looked up at the sun. "I'd say eleven minutes. Sweetie Belle, grab Madagascar and bring it over here to Ohio." the white filly ran to a corner of the map and folded in the direction told. Scootaloo nodded approvingly. "Now Rarity, you grab the Andes and fold it over the Main Greenland." Rarity hesitated.

"You know, folding the map doesn't actually make these places closer together." she said, Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"I know, I know! Crease it here. Babs, Australia over to Africa. Twist, Hawaii to Japan." Twist pulled the map, causing alarm to the pegasus. "No, no, East, East! Don't go West, you'll rip it! All right...now fold it here. Babs, one more crease down this line." They nodded backing away. Rarity groaned.

"Scootaloo... I don't see how an origami unicorn is getting us off this island!" she shouted. Scootaloo waved her off.

"It's not done yet, it needs one more fold." She makes the last fold. "There you go! Now wait..."

The unicorn folded into many shapes, different sizes until finally a paper airplane. Rarity shook her head in a panic.

"Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no! There's no way I'm getting on that plane!" Scootaloo ran to get the rubber band.

"Wait, wait. It's gonna work, you'll see!" she said excitedly.

"I think it's beautiful." Sweetie said. Rarity glared at her.

"Don't encourage her." She looked back at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, this is crazy!" The pegasus grabs the rubber band and puts it around the two trees. "Car-salesman crazy or mattress-salesman crazy?" she asked. Rarity blinked at the question.

"I don't know... Neither!" she shouted. Scootaloo chuckled.

"That's a relief. Sweetie, Twist, get the seats!"

"You got it!" Sweetie said before she and Twist went to get the seats. Scootaloo looked at Babs.

"Babs, grab the ox!" She went under it and lifted it with her earth pony strength. Both Rarity and Scootaloo gave her a weird look. She shrugged.

"This is the only way he'll actually let me hold him." Rarity gave her a odd look before turning back to Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo, it's made of paper!" Scootaloo shrugged.

"So was the Declaration of Independence!" Rarity scoffed.

"Yeah, but it wouldn't fly over 2,000 miles of water!" she looked at Babs who was still carrying the ox. "Babs, why are you helping?" she shrugged once again.

"How often do you get to lift an ox?" the ox shrugged as well. Rarity groaned, stomping her front hooves angerly.

"Have I taken crazy pills?! There's no engine!" she exclaimed. Scootaloo chuckled

"True, but we do have this rubber band made of super special den-si-ty!" Sweetie smiled enthusiastically.

"Just believe we can, Rarity!" Twist nodded.

"Yes. Trixie Lulamoon and Countess Coloratura cannot both be wrong." Rarity groaned again.

"Look, apparently I missed some big musical number with Trixie Lulamoon and Countess Coloratura, okay? So can we please stop using that as a reference?!" Twist shrugged.

"Well, it was just very inspirational." Rarity shook her head.

"I'm not getting on that plane!" Scootaloo smirked.

"Rarity, you won't see Spike again 'till we get off the island." Rarity paused.

"I get a window seat!" The group cheered as they got to work. The ox pulls the plane backward, stretching the rubber band. Babs was riding on top of the ox.

"You know, my horoscope said I would be riding an ox today. But I thought that was a figure of speech!" Scootaloo rolled her eyes as they backed up.

"A little bit further... A little bit further... Okay, that'll have to do. We're almost out of time; everypony on the plane!" Everypony got in the plane, Scootaloo was in the front. She turned around to the gang.

"Everypony ready? It's now or never!" However, Rarity was getting second thoughts.

"Actually Scootaloo, I-I changed my mind. I wanna stay here." Scootaloo scoffed, waving her hoof airily.

"Oh, that's just the mortal terror talking." she said. Rarity raised an eyebrow.

"Well, yeah...that's what I was..."

"Babs, pull the release!" Scootaloo shouted, before Rarity can change her mind. Babs shrugged.

"Whatever, dude. It's not gonna --"

Babs pulls the string, causing the paper plane zooms off towards America's east coast, everypony screams.

"It's working! Look!" Scootaloo pointed at the sun, seeing it get bigger and bigger instead of smaller in the distance.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Babs cheered. Twist raised an eyebrow.

"What are you so happy about?" she asked. Babs smiled smugly.

"I finally ate a bug!" she said, causing Twist to gag. Scootaloo pointed forward.

"It looks like we're gonna make it! There's Ponyville!" she shouted as they got closer and closer.

"Hang on, everypony! We're coming in!" she shouted before the plane crashed, actually gracefully.

"Actually, that's probably our best landing of the day. Great, the sun's still up and we're only five blocks away. Come on!" Everypony got up and ran, before they stopped. The road construction. Sweetie Belle gasped.

"Oh no! Road construction!" Scootaloo groaned.

"It took mom an hour get around that ditch!" Sweetie looked up at the city's clock.

"There's only 58 seconds 'til sundown!" she exclaimed. What surprised everypony though is that Babs looked really upset.

"No, no, no!" she exclaimed. "Ohh, I actually thought we're gonna make it! I thought we were gonna do the impossible. For one shining moment...summer was whatever I wanted to make of it!" then she noticed what house they were in front of. "Wait...this is my house! Hold on one second! I'm givin' everypony back their bikes!!" she shouted before she ran up the drive way and opened the garage. Inside were dozens of bikes and scooters. Scootaloo's eyes shone in excitement when she saw her scooter, but paused, confused.

"But Babs, we didn't make it back to our yard." But stopped when she looked back at the construction, seeing a ramp in the construction. She gasped. "I get it! Everybody, get your bikes!" Everypony ran in the garage as Babs distributed the bikes/scooters.

"Here's Apple Bloom's, here's Scootaloo's, here's Sweetie Belle's... And here's, uh... A recumbent?" she turned to Twist with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" Twist shrugged nervously.

"Studies say it is better for your back." Babs glared at her.

"How come I don't have to stand in line to bully you?" Rarity rolled her eyes and looked at Scootaloo, who was currently caressing her scooter.

"Wait, Babs never took my bike." Babs noted, making a mental check.

"Noted." Scootaloo looked around before spotting a small tricycle. She pointed at it.

"There's one right there!" Rarity shook her head.

"Scootaloo, I'm not gonna get on a silly little tricycle." Scootaloo groaned, getting stressed.

"Rarity, we're in a hurry. Just get on the trike, and we'll..." Rarity shook her head again.

"There's no way I'm gonna--"

"GET ON THE TRIKE!!!" Scootaloo shouted. Rarity quickly ran to it, snapping on her helmet. Everypony started pedaling, except Scootaloo who buzzed down the streets, getting close to the ramp.

"Scootaloo, there's no way we're gonna clear that!" Rarity said, as she pedaled awkwardly on the trike.

"Just believe we can, Rarity!" Scootaloo called back. Rarity glared at the speeding pegasus.

"Is that another Countess Coloratura reference? Because I thought I was clear..." Scootaloo rolled her eyes chuckling.

"You don't have to hear the song, Rarity, you just have to believe!"

"I believe!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"I believe!" Twist exclaimed.

"I believe!" Babs exclaimed.

Apple Bloom whooped. Rarity groaned

"Okay...I belieeeeeeve!!" and then everypony was shot into the air from the ramp. As they shot up, a taxi drove under them to which contained the parents, Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumble. Inside, Cookie sighed.

"What a long day. It seem like the sun would never go down."

In the back yard, the sun was slowly setting, and a party was set. It was ready to start, all it needed was the guests of honor.

"Where are they?" Dinky asked. Pipsqueak grinned, hopping in place.

"Don't worry, they'll make it." Snips looked excitedly at the clock.

"Seven seconds 'till sundown!" he said. Snails brightened up.

"Maybe it'll help if we count!" Everypony looked thought it was a strange idea, but counted down anyway.

"Five! Four! Three! Two!" At two, the group landed inside the backyard onto the backyard, grinning widely.

"ONE!" Scootaloo shouted as the sun finally sets as everyone starts celebrating.

♪ Cause you believe we can... ♪

"Yeah! We did it! Oh my gosh, that was so great!" Scootaloo cheered. Sweetie Belle hugged the pegasus, making her blush lightly.

"You guys are amazing!" she squeaked. Just then, the parents arrived, surprised at party.

"Mom, Dad!" Scootaloo exclaimed, running to hug them. Cookie chuckled.

"Oh, for us? That is so nice." she looked at Rarity and smiled proudly. "And Candace, so responsible. Not a single phone call." Rarity shrugged.

"Well, I didn't have international coverage." The mom blinked.

"What?" Rarity grinned widely at her mother.

"Never mind!" Cookie chuckled before yawning.

"Anyway, the party looks great. But you would not believe what a long day we've had. I think we're gonna turn in early." she said. Hondo nodded.

"You guys just enjoy the party, okay?" he called back as he the door. Scootaloo jumped on the build stage.

"All right, you've heard him. Let's enjoy this party!" Then music played, Scootaloo grabbed a microphone and Sweetie hopped on stage and grabbed another.

"Hey, Rarity!" Rarity turned around in shock before gasping.

"Spike! You came back early!" she said as she hugged the drake. Spike smiled up at her.

"Well, I missed my marefriend." Rarity blushed, leaning closer at him.

"Oooh! I like the sound of that!" Spike blushed as well.

"Besides you forgot something in Prance." Rarity raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I did? What?" Spike gently grabbed her cheek, pulling her in.

"This." Spike kissed her on the lips. At first Rarity froze in surprise, before melting into the kiss. While this happening, Apple Bloom came up to the mic.

The group danced the night away, a perfect ending to their extra long day. Scootaloo looked around.

"Hey, where's Gummy?"

Still in Maris, the small gator in the fedora was at a Prench restaurant. Getting served by a Prench waiter.
