Pony in my pocket

Chapter nine

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle hurried into their tent.

"Rainbow Dash! What did you do to Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle?!" Sunset yelled in a very angry tone. The pony in question laying in her nest, pretending to sleep, looked up.

"It was an accident! Literally.."

Spike was curled up in his doggy basket. He was sleeping soundly and didn't even wake up when Sunset yelled. Spike had always been a heavy sleeper.

"An accident.. wait, you mean.. You didn't!" Twilight puzzled the pieces together.

"It wasn't my fault! I went into the forest for that and then they just grabbed me!" The Pegasus explained.

Sunset's hand met her face again.

"Well.. What's done is done and can't be changed. At least now the girls learned not to grab creatures they don't know much about." Twilight lectured.

"Just.. don't go outside alone anymore, okey? I knew it was a bad idea to leave her alone.."

"Hey, it wasn't your fault." Twilight said to Sunset, then turned to Dash. "And neither was it yours. Like you said, it was just an accident."

"Whatever. Let's just get some food and then go to sleep." Sunset said, not wanting to have this conversation any longer.

"Great idea! I'm all out of apples and carrots!" Dash said.

"Yeah, sure, we wi- wait What?! How much can one little pony eat?!" Sunset exclaimed. Dash only shrugged while Twilight got the basket from under the bed.

"We'll be right back, Dash." Sunset said and went over to wake up Spike. "Wake up Spike, you have to keep an eye on Dash." She whispered as she shook him.

"Hey, I can take care of myself for a few minutes!" Dash argued.

"Yeah. And we know how well that turned out last time." Sunset glared at the Pegasus and went after Twilight to the cafeteria. Dash rolled her eyes and curled up in her nest again.

Inside the cafeteria were already all the students. Looking around, they saw their friends sitting on a large table. Sunset and Twilight each grabbed a tablet, got some soup and bread on them and went to their friends.

"I just can't believe it! We leave tomorrow and just now she has to soil her clothes!" Rarity said.

"Oh quit yer bellyaching, Rarity. Ah'm sure that Sweetie Belle got more set of clothes with 'er."

"Oh! Well I never! These clothes are extremely hard to get clean! And the smell! Irks!"

"What are you guys talking about?" Sunset asked as her and Twilight took place at their friends' table.

"Ah, jes Rarity freaking out 'bout some clothing. The usual." Applejack answered. Rarity shot her a death glare.

"For the last time, Applejack! They were not just 'some clothes', they were expensive and are hard to get clean! At least we get home tomorrow so that I can get them cleaned as fast as possible, before the smell becomes permanent!" Rarity argued.

Sunset spat out the soup that she just took into her mouth with the spoon. "We go home tomorrow?!"

"Why yes, of course, darling."

"But we are here for a week!"

"And we got here six days ago."

"Yeah. Even the greatest parties have to come to an end.."

Rarities eyes widened. "Haven't you packed?" She asked.

"No! But that isn't the main problem! How am I gonna get Dash with us without her being seen?!" Sunset tried in vain not to panic.

"I haven't packed yet either. I thought we were here for another day, like Sunset. Time sure flies by fast when you're having fun.." Twilight said.

"Come on! We have to pack!" Sunset said and got up, leaving her tray on the table.

"Sunset, wait!" Twilight tried to stop her. She grabbed the basket and went to get some vegetables.

The group only stared at the scene. That is, until Pinkie Pie went over to where Sunset sat.
"You guys think she's still gonna eat this?" She grinned with the spoon in her hand.

The sound of four hands snapping onto faces echoed through the dining hall.
