In Ponyville

"Why isn't she here yet?" Apple Bloom shouted loudly while bouncing up and down beside a very annoyed and extremely tired Applejack.

"Will ya stap jumpin' around like one of em vermin critters in the east orchard!" Applejack snapped at her over excited sister who had already inhaled way too much sugar than should be allowed in one morning.

"Sorry sis...I were just excited that's all...do yer think she's gonna be around ma age? Scoots and ah could use another filly to run about wit!" Apple Bloom asked while looking down the railroad tracks for any sign of the train.

"As if ya and Scoot don't get inta enough trouble on yer own!" Applejack moaned, while looking in the same direction as her sister.

"Ya know we don't mean ta sis...it just kinda happens" Apple Bloom thought out loud just as the train turned the corner and headed toward the platform. "She's here Applejack!" Apple shouted while jumping up and down again.

Applejack decided to ignore her little sisters obvious comment and instead moved them both back a few steps as the train came closer. Applejack and Apple Bloom watched closely as large groups of people quickly got off the train, they searched and searched for their mystery guest but then realised that they didn't in fact know what she looked like.

"Umm anyone here lookin' ta go ta Sweet Apple Acres?" Applejack shouted, she wait a few moments for someone to respond and was about to ask again when she noticed a purple haired girl start to push her way past boarding passengers.

"Me! I am! Oh thank goodness that you are here, oh and that you brought help. Aren't you just the cutest!" Rarity to Apple Bloom while patting her red hair.

"Is that all yer brought miss?" Applejack asked while reaching over to take Rarity's suitcase for her.

"Oh god no. I have someone bringing out the rest of my bags now. I hope you two can handle them. Of course I would help, but I am simple exhausted from the journey. You can handle a few bags right?" Just as Rarity said that a train worker made his way over with at least twenty bags on a cart.

"A few bags?!" Applejack snapped but quickly calmed down and fake smiled. "Of course ah can handle yer bags..." Applejack said before taking over with the cart.

"Perfect! Now let's get going, I simply can't wait to see my room!" Rarity said cheerfully while walking ahead with Apple Bloom, leaving Applejack to struggle with the mountain of bags.

"A few bags my hoof!" Applejack said under her breath.

In Canterlot

"Where the hell is this chick?!" Rainbow Dash said while pacing the train station platform. Her train had arrive almost an hour ago and there was still no sign of her ride.

"Excuse me?" An extremely quiet voice said behind Rainbow Dash. Thinking that she was just hearing things Rainbow Dash decided to ignore it and keep walking, it wasn't until she turned to walk the other and collided with something or rather someone had she realised that maybe she wasn't hearing things at all.

"Oops sorry...I ah didn't see you there. Are you alright?" Rainbow Dash asked the pink haired girl that was currently looking down at the ground.

"...yeah I'm fine..." Fluttershy said almost to herself.

"Sorry I didn't quite get that..."

"I said that I'm fine..." Fluttershy said a little bit louder than before.

"Oh that's good...you must be my ride, it's about time! I've been waiting here for hours!" Rainbow Dash over exaggerated like always.

"Sorry..." Fluttershy quietly apologised.

"Well I suppose that's okay...but don't let it happen again!" Dash snapped making the girl jump and Rainbow Dash giggle, she had never seen someone so nervous and it made her want to see how far she could push her, but at the same time she didn't want to bully the poor girl...just mess with her a little.

"So we going or what?" Dash said, tried of waiting around in this boring station. All Fluttershy could do in response was nod.

"Sounds good to me! Let's get going....wait I don't think I caught your name?" Rainbow Dash said in her usual confident tone.

"I'm Fluttershy..." She said quietly, so quietly that Rainbow Dash could hardly hear her. Fluttershy then tried to lift Rainbow Dash's bag for her, but she ended up failing miserably. "Oh it's heavy." She said sounding defeated.

"It's cool, I got it...I'm Rainbow Dash by the way. So what do you do for fun around here?" She asked while following Fluttershy to her little yellow car with pink butterflies stickers all over it.

"I usually just take care of the animals in the shelter and my own little bunny Angel...but we can do something else if you like..." Fluttershy said while getting into the car.

"Boring! Isn't there anything else FUN we can do?!" Dash asked loudly, scaring the shy girl.

"I guess Twilight might know something fun we can do..." Fluttershy said sounding defeated, she had hoped that the person that was coming to stay would be interested in looking after all the little animals with her but she was wrong.

"Let's go see this Twilight then!" Rainbow shouted.
