“I’m ready”

She says to the colt.

“Alright, I’ll call for our ride.”

He replies while pressing a button on his watch.

“I just realized that we haven’t had proper introductions yet. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Jonny Bench. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”

“I’m Scootaloo, and the feeling is mutual.”

“So nice to meet you Scootaloo. Oh looks like our ride is here.”

Jonny says as he looks at the sky. Scootaloo looks up as well and sees a crate tumbling through the air. Lands on the ground next to them with a massive crash. As it hits the ground it bursts open revealing a device that looks like a scooter, but is made of metal.

“This is a motorcycle. It is a lot like a scooter, except you don’t need to push or flap you wings to make it move. I am the only pony in all of equestria that has one. As a matter of fact, I made this myself and it is truly one of the most fun way to travel. Hop on and we can be on our way.”

Jonny says to her as he gets on and pats the seat behind him.

“You can put your stuff in the back compartment, trust me it’s a lot bigger than it seems to be on the inside.”

Scootaloo walks up to the motorcycle and opens its “trunk.” She puts her scooter and saddlebags in while putting her helmet onto her head. She then proceeds to hop on the metal beast  and sits down right behind Jonny. He turns around holding a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses and says.

“You put your helmet on, good. You know how to be safe. Now before we go you should put these on for the total badass look that we’re trying to go for.”

She grins as she grabs them out of his hooves and throws them on causing her to look like a boss.

“ hold on tight cause here we go!”

Jonny yells as he turns on the engine and floors the gas pedal. The bike zooms forwards and Scootaloo has a look of excitement in her eyes. She finally gets to have a real adventure!

“Before we go, why don’t we wake up the town? It doesn’t hurt to cause a little mischief before we leave. Also I have a little present for the local bully.”

He says with a mischievous grin on his face.

“Heck yeah! Let's do it!”

Scootaloo yells, clearly on board with his plan. Suddenly the bike makes a sharp turn and heads towards the apple family’s house on the farm, passing by as they continue onwards to Ponyville, causing a small yellow coated filly with a bright red mane to wake up, look outside , and go back to bed.

As the two young ponies are driving down the dirt road, Jonny starts messing around with a few buttons on the front of the bike. Suddenly a package pops out of the console that has

For: Diamond Tiara.

Written on the top. He waits until they are just about to pass her house when he throws the package and it lands right on her doorstep.

“What’s in the box Jonny?”

“Just a warning to her so that she doesn’t bother anypony else.”

They continue to drive through the streets of Ponyville, shouting wildly, trying to wake the small town up as they leave. They succeed and the entire town is standing outside of their homes as they leave the city limits.

“That was hilarious Jonny! I hope this whole trip is going to be as awesome as that was.”

“Don’t worry everything should be at least that exciting, if not more so. Now, it’s time for your first lesson, in driving!”

“Wait, Driving! are you sure about this? I’ve only ridden on my scooter and that’s nowhere near the speeds your bike can go.”

“Don’t worry about it. Besides, you said you wanted to be awesome right? I be here guiding you every step of the way to make sure you stay safe. Trust me.”

“Okay, if you say so.”

Jonny slows the bike down and comes to a complete stop as he hops off of it and allows Scootaloo to scoot up and take the driver’s seat. He then gets on behind her and gives her instructions.

“Okay scoots, first you’re going to want to turn the key and start the cycle up.”

She turns the key and the engine flares to life.

“There are two pedals, one on each side. The left one is the brake so you can stop and the other one is the gas, to make you go. The stick in front of you is what lets the bike go forwards, backwards, or stay still. Move it into the position marked D and hit the gas.”

She does as she is told and the bike immediately zooms forwards.

“Hey, look I’m doing it! This is so cool!”

“All right, nice job, now take your hoof off the gas and gently apply the brake.”

She follows my instructions and we gently come to a halt. Jonny pushes a few buttons on his watch and a second box falls out of the sky, revealing another bike.

“I see you can handle the awesomeness of a cycle, so you get to have your own. You can use the buttons and screen to change the color, lights, and parts of the bike. I hope that you enjoy it.”

“Thank you! This is the best thing ever!”

She replies, as she runs over to the second bike. She immediately starts customizing it. Seconds later the bike starts to change. The paint changes from black to orange and fuchsia, to match her coat and mane, as the lights change to a bright blue. Two thrusters appear on the sides of the bike as well as a mounted cannon.

“Nice, I see you have an eye for customization. That is very good when trying to make new gadgets. Now, shall we continue?”

Scootaloo nods her head and the two ponies go zooming off into the sunrise yet again.
