The castle was decorated with a variety of party decorations for Cumulus's 18th birthday party.

Pinkie Pie put the finishing touches on the birthday cake.

Pinkie Pie looked around at the work she had done and smiled as her friends came in through the front door.

"WOW" Rainbow Dash said, excitedly.

"Pinkie you've really outdone yourself with this party" Twilight said, to Pinkie Pie.

That made Pinkie blush. "Cumulus is gonna love it" Applejack said, with a grin at Pinkie Pie.

"Ya think?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.

Autumn came in through the front door.

"OH MY GOD" Autumn said, with a gasp.

"Ya like it?" Applejack asked with a smile at Autumn.

"Oh yeah babe" Autumn replied with a chuckle.

"Autumn did you bring your guitar?" Applejack asked with a smile.

"Hell yeah I did" Autumn replied with a grin.

"Ok then let's get this party started" Pinkie Pie said, excitedly.

"Oh Cumulus we're ready for you" Pinkie called her.

Cumulus came into the living room. Cumulus was wearing a red dress with black stripes on it that Rarity made for her.

Autumn's Jaw dropped as Cumulus walked in.

"Cue you look amazing" Autumn said, to Cumulus with a smile.

"Thanks Autumn" Cumulus replied with a grin.

"My little Cue is all grown up" Rainbow said, with tears in her eyes.

Autumn is a dark brown stallion with a light brown main and his cutie mark is guitar with autumn leaf next to the guitar.

"Happy birthday Cue" Applejack said, to Cumulus.

"Thanks" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"Let's get this party started" Cumulus said, with a grin.

"Now you're talking" Autumn said, with a smile at Cue.

"Cumulus Autumn is smiling at you" Applejack said, to her niece.

Cumulus returned the smile. "Hey Pinkie put on the song Celebration" Cumulus said.

"Hit it" Autumn yelled.

"Hey guys do you want to get drunk?" Cumulus asked with a smile.

"OH YEAH WE WOULD" Autumn replied.

"APPLE CIDER FOR EVERYONE" Applejack yelled

"Let's get drunk" Cumulus said, excitedly.

"Let's get down and dirty" Autumn yelled.

Applejack was pouring apple cider into glasses.

"Come and get it" Applejack said, with a smile.

The main each grabbed a glass.

A couple glasses later.

Rainbow Dash was making out with Fluttershy.

"Hey Autumn do you want to make out with me?" Cumulus asked.

Cumulus's speech was slurred because she had been drinking a lot.

"Oh yeah" Autumn yelled grinding his hips

Cumulus came a chance to Autumn and they locked lips.

Autumn's hoof found its way down to Cumulus's clitoris as Autumn's hoof made contact. Cumulus let out a log moan into Autumn's mouth.

Oh yeah" Cumulus moaned.

"Hey Cumulus you look sexy" Autumn laughed

A couple of hours later. They were all very drunk.

"Hey guys you want to stay here?" Twilight asked.

Her friends didn't seem to notice that Twilight was talking to them.

The next day:

Twilight woke up with a headache from the night before.

She looked around the living room and frowned.

There were broken glasses everywhere.

Twilight walked over to her friends.

"Hey guys time to wake up" Twilight whispered.

Cumulus grond as soon as she heard Twilight's voice.

"Cue sweetie it's time to get up" Twilight said, to Cumulus.

"5 more minutes" Cumulus said, haf asleep.

Twilight pulled the covers back.

"Your going to get up whether you like it or not" Twilight said, in a stern voice.

Cumulus finally got up and walked downstairs to get some breakfast for herself.

"Cumulus we are actually going out for breakfast" Twilight said, as she came downstairs.

Cumulus shrugged and put the box of cereal back on the shelf.

"Well then let's get going" Cumulus said, with a grin. Autumn walked downstairs.

"Hey Cue what's up?" Autumn asked Cumulus.

"We are going to a cafe in downtown ponyville" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"Oh great just what I need" Autumn said, sarcastically. Cumulus rolled her eyes and went upstairs to get ready. 10 minutes
Later:
Cumulus came back downstairs with a smile on her face.

"I'm ready to rock and roll" Cumulus said, as she walked over to where her family was standing.

Cumulus came back downstairs with a smile on her face.

"I'm ready to rock and roll" Cumulus said, as she walked over to where her family was standing.

The friends were walking into town.

"Cumulus isn't it great to be 18?" Fluttershy asked her niece as they were walking.

"Like you have no idea how long I've waited for this" Cumulus replied with a smile at her auntie.

"WOW Cumulus you can't be serious" Autumn said, sarcastically.

Cumulus rolled her eyes at him.

"Autumn are you for real?" Cumulus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you really expect me to answer that?" Autumn asked with a smirk.

"No I don't" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"Autumn you should really go into stand-up comedy" Cumulus said, to Autumn.

"You really think so?" Autumn asked with a grin.

"Yeah sure, you should at least give it a try" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"Ok, if you're sure that I can do it" Autumn said, nervously as they walked into the cafe.

The smell of fresh coffee filled the air.

"Let's find a table" Fluttershy said, to her friends.

"Well look who we have here" a voice said, behind Cumulus.

Cumulus knew that it was Diamond Tiara's voice.

"Hey Diamond what are ya doin' here?" Cumulus asked with a grin.

But before Diamond Tiara could answer Autumn was in her face.

Autumn glared at Diamond, "leave Cue alone" Autumn said, to Diamond Tiara.

Diamond walked over to Silver Spoon and they walked out of the cafe. They didn't even look back in the cafe.

"Well Cue I showed them didn't I" Autumn said, triumphantly.

The cafe was very nicely decorated, the floor was checked in black and white, and the walls were painted pink and blue.

"Ya sure did" Cumulus said, to Autumn.

They found a table.

"Let's sit here" Rarity said, to her friends.

They all sat down and talked for a while before the waitress came over to take their orders.

"What can I get you?" the waitress asked with a smile.

"I'll have hot chocolate" Cumulus said,to the waitress.

"And for the young man?" the waitress asked with a smile at Autumn.

"I'll have chocolate cake with peanuts in the middle" Autumn replied.

"I'll have a cup of coffee" Twilight said, to the waitress.

"I'll have a cup of tea with honey" Rarity said, with a smile at the waitress.

The waitress left to go and get their breakfast.

"So Applejack what did you order?" Twilight asked with a wink at Applejack.

"Well Twilight I ain't very hungry" Applejack replied with a smirk.

"Why not?" Twilight asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because I just ain't, ok" Applejack snapped at Twilight before getting up and going to the door and walking out.

"Mom why was auntie Applejack so mad?" Cumulus asked her Mom.

"Cue.....the truth about your auntie Applejack is she hasn't got a Mom and dad to look up too" Rainbow Dash said, to her daughter.

"Oh" Cumulus said, sadly.

"Rainbow are you sure that's what is bothering Applejack?" Twilight asked her friend with a smile.

"Truth be told I have no idea what's bothering Applejack" Rainbow replied with a shrug.

After they were done with their snacks.

"We have to find out what was bothering Applejack" Twilight said, when she had finished her cup of coffee.

"How are we going to do that?" Fluttershy asked with a worried expression on her face.

"Well.....I don't really know yet" Twilight replied with a sigh.

"Well Twilight you'd better find out a way to get Applejack back to us" Rainbow said,with anger in her voice.

Cumulus had never heard her mom so angry before.

"Rainbow Dash you need to control your anger" Twilight said, gently.

"Twilight you can go buck yourself" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Rainbow there are youngsters present" Rarity said, with a glance over at Cue.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah I don't bucking care" Rainbow yelled.

Rarity facehoofed.

"Cumulus I think that your mom needs to calm down a bit" Rarity said, to her niece.

"Yeah I'll say she does" Cumulus replied with a sigh as Rainbow Dash stomped her hoof on the floor in frustration and anger.

"You all should go buck yourselves" Rainbow Dash yelled as the tension in the room increased.

Both Cumulus and Rarity were taken aback by the words that were coming out of Rainbow's mouth. Because normally Rainbow Dash was a kind pony who didn't say such bad things to her friends, except when she was mad about something, which by the look on her face she was.

"But what was Rainbow Dash so mad about?" Twilight asked herself.

Was it from the night before when they were all drunk? Twilight pondered that thought.

"Hmm I wonder?" Twilight thought to herself.

"Maybe Rainbow was mad because she didn't get into the Wonderbolts like she always dreamed about?" Twilight thought to herself as they exited the cafe.

The family was walking home.

Then they heard the song Life is a Highway.

"Oh yeah this is awesome" Rainbow said, with a smile.

"Road trip across Equestria" Twilight said, with a grin.

The six main cheered.

"Well I am in" Rainbow said, with a grin.

"Ok, but don't forget we have to find Applejack" Twilight said,to her friends.

They were walking towards sweet Apple Acres.

Cumulus had her headphones on, she was listening to the song Highway to hell by AC/DC, she was running in place to the beat of the song.

AC/DC was Cumulus's favorite band.

She was moving her hips. Rainbow took notice of this.

"Yeah you go girl" Rainbow said, to Cumulus.

Cumulus didn't hear what her mom was saying, because she had her headphones on. They finally reached sweet Apple Acres.

Cumulus took her headphones off, "where are we?" she asked.

"We are at sweet Apple Acres we are going to look for your aunt Applejack and then we are going on a Road trip across Equestria" Twilight replied with a smile.

"Awesome" Cumulus said, with a grin.

After a while they finally found Applejack, she was crying.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked with concern in her voice.

"Well it's....just when I see how y'all are treatin' Cue I guess I get a little bit jealous" Applejack said, when she had stopped crying.

"Applejack we don't treat Cumulus any differently than we would treat each other" Rarity said, to Applejack with a smile.

Applejack got up and walked over to her friends.

"Thanks guys y'all are the greatest friends a pony could ask for" Applejack said, as she hugged them.

"Let's take this road trip" Twilight said, as the family was leaving sweet Apple Acres.

"So where are we goin' to first?" Applejack asked as they were walking.

"Manhattan" Cumulus said, with a smile.

"Ok, Manhattan it is" Twilight said, with a grin.

"Well then what are we waitin' for" Applejack said, with a chuckle.

"Let's rock and roll" Cumulus said, with a smile.

"Is Autumn coming too?" Twilight asked.

"I don't think so but I can ask him" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"That would be great" Twilight said,with a smile at her niece.

Cumulus got out her iPhone and started to dial Autumn's phone number, and then she started talking.

After a while she hung up the phone.

"Well Autumn says he would love to join us on this road trip, but his mama wouldn't let him" Cumulus explained.

"Oh great just what we need" Rainbow Dash said, sarcastically.

Cumulus rolled her eyes at this.

Mom please I'm beginning to think that this road trip isn't somethin' we should make a joke about" Cumulus said, in a stern voice.

Rainbow Dash scratched the back of her head.

"Cue you're right, ya know that?" Rainbow said, with a nervous chuckle.

"Mom believe me I know" Cumulus replied with a smile at her mom.

As they finally got on the train to Manhattan it was just getting dark outside.

They were sitting in the back of the train and it was almost midnight when they arrived in Manhattan.

Cumulus yawned as they got off the train.

"What time is it?" Cumulus asked.

"It's 1:00 in the morning" Rainbow said, as she let out a yawn.

Cumulus groaned.

"I think we should go find a hotel for the weekend" Cumulus said, as she yawned.

"Cue ya know that doesn't sound too bad" Rainbow said, with a weak smile.

"Yeah Cumulus that don't sound half bad" Applejack said, with a grin at her niece.

"Well what are we waitin' for, let's go" Cumulus giggled.

"Oh how I wish Autumn were here with me" Cumulus thought to herself as they were walking along the street.

They were walking down the famous saddle row where Rarity had just opened a second Boutique.

"Cue we are walking down saddle row where your aunt Rarity just opened her second Boutique" Rainbow Dash explained to Cumulus.

"Ah, I see" Cumulus joked because she can't see.

10 minutes later at the hotel: Rarity checked them into their hotel room.

"Let's go girls, follow me" Rarity said, with a smile.

They followed Rarity and the bellhop through a set of glass doors into a huge hallway on both sides there were doors leading to rooms.

The bellhop stopped in front of one of the doors and opened it to reveal a very elegant room with a fireplace. The ponies gasped as they were shown the room.

"WOW.....THIS IS AWESOME" Rainbow Dash said, with a grin.

"Well girls what do you think?" Rarity asked with a grin.

"This weekend in Manhattan is going to be awesome" Rainbow said, with a wink at Rarity who was examining the curtains.

The room was big, it had a kitchen and the living room was very elegantly decorated with flowers in vases on the living room table. The curtains were yellow with white stripes at the ends. The door to the room was made of wood, the floor of the room was made of gold. The main a Cumulus had their very own personal unicorn Butler.

"Well Cumulus what do you think of this?" Rarity asked her niece with a smile. "

You described it very well, I like it" Cumulus answered with a smile at her aunt.

Rarity beamed, she loved to be popular with the crowds despite her friends not approving of Rarity getting all the attention.

The room had a large bedroom, the bedroom door was also made of wood.

The bed was made of gold and beside the bed there were two tables with a rose in a vase on both sides of the bed. The bellhop turned and walked out of the room.

The ponies were just getting comfortable when they heard a sound that made them jump out of their skins.

"What was that?" Cumulus asked with a scared look on her face.

"I am not sure I want to find out" Fluttershy said, with a grimace as the sound drew nearer.

"Well there's only one way to find out what this is" Twilight said, with a frown.

Twilight wasn't too happy that she had to explain everything in full detail.

Cumulus on the other hoof was very happy that her aunt had to explain everything in full detail to her.

A dark shadow of a pony came out of the bathroom as It stepped into the light they could see that it was Autumn.

"Hi Cue" Autumn said, to Cumulus.

Cumulus hugged him tightly.

"Autumn I am so glad that you could make it" Cumulus said, with a grin.

"Well after you called me I couldn't get my mom to let me go, so I just ran away from home" Autumn said, to Cumulus.

Cumulus's jaw dropped.

"WHAT YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT, YOUR MOM WILL BE WORRIED SICK" Cumulus yelled at Autumn.

Autumn just shrugged.

"I had to get away from home because my mom and dad were getting into fights all the time" Autumn signed.

"Autumn that still doesn't give you an excuse to run away from home" Twilight lectured.

"I am staying right here whether you want me to or not" Autumn replied coldly.

"Autumn leaves this discussion is over" Twilight said, in a stern voice.

Then there was a knock on the door, Twilight went to open the door.

She was greeted by a young man.

The man had a jacket on, the jacket was made out of leather.

"Nick is that you?" Twilight addressed the young man.

Nick looked at Twilight and smiled.

Nick has severe cerebral palsy.

"So Nick how has life been treatin' ya?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow.

It took a while for Nick to get the words out.

"Life is wonderful these days" Nick said, with a laugh.

Cumulus went into a corner of the room and cried.

She was crying because her family wasn't paying attention to her, they were paying attention to this rat that they call a friend, well that's going to end right now.

"Hey Nick do you wanna know what I think of you?" Cumulus asked with a grin at Nick.

Nick didn't answer her question right a way.

"Well ok if you will not answer me right a way I will tell you anyway" Cumulus said, with a grin.

Nick sighed heavily.

"Nick you are a loser because my aunts like you more than they like me" Cumulus said, with tears in her eyes.

Nick looked sympathetically at Cumulus.

"What do you mean?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well my aunts pay more attention to you then they do to me" Cumulus said, to Nick when she had stopped crying.

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble I am so sorry if I caused you any trouble" Nick said, with tears in his eyes.

"Nick let me tell ya somethin' ya didn't cause us any trouble at all" Applejack said, gently.

Nick communicates by pointing to pictures on a communication board, but he can also speak in short words.

By now it was lunchtime. "Nick do you want to go out to eat lunch? or do you want to stay here?" Twilight asked with a smile.

"I want to go out to eat lunch" Nick replied with a grin at Twilight.

When it comes to speaking Nick's grammar isn't very good.

"We are go now?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah we can get going now, if you want" Cumulus said, to Nick.

"Where are we going?" Nick asked with a wry smile.

"I don't know yet" Rarity replied with a shrug.

"So Nick how is your brother Lucas doin' these days?" Fluttershy asked with a smile.

It took a while for Nick to answer.

"He's doing good" Nick replied with a smile.

Nick lives in the jungle with his uncle Tarzan and aunt Jane.

Nick's brother Lucas also has severe cerebral palsy, Lucas is also blind.

, Lucas can speak in full sentences.

Lucas's aunt Jane taught him to speak, so Lucas speaks in a British accent.

Lucas's speech is slurred, so it is important to wait for him to finish a sentence before asking a question or telling him something that he can reply to.

"Cumulus will you come to the jungle with me?" Nick asked with a smile.

"Nick are you asking me out?" Cumulus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes I am asking you out" Nick said, with a grin.

"Oh Nick, yes I want to go out with you" Cumulus replied sweetly as she kissed him.

The others gasped at the site.

Autumn walked over to Cumulus.

"CUE WHY, ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?" Autumn asked with a frown.

"Autumn it's not what it looks like" Cumulus replied with a smirk.

"I know what it looks like, it looks like YOU DON'T LOVE ME" Autumn yelled as he stormed out of the room.

When Autumn had gone, Cumulus sat down and wept.

Nick crawled over to her and put his head on her lap. They stayed like this for a couple of hours. The others quickly left the room and closed the door.

Once outside the door.

"Poor Cue, I know how hard it must be for her" Rarity said, to her friends.

The others nodded in agreement.

"We must do something about this" Twilight said, to her friends. Inside the room Cumulus had stopped crying.

Nick was laying on the floor, his hands were moving uncontrollably and he was drooling on himself.

Cumulus wiped the drool from Nick's face with a towel she had found.

Her family came back into the room.

"Hey Cumulus are you okay?" Rainbow asked with concern in her voice.

"I am fine" Cumulus replied with a faint smile.

Rainbow looked at Nick with a raised eyebrow.

Nick crossed over to where Rainbow was standing. "She not fine, she just say that" Nick whispered into Rainbow's ear.

"Nick are you sure?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes I am sure" Nick replied with a chuckle.

Rainbow shook her head in disbelief at what she had just heard.

"CUMULUS I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD LIE TO ME" Rainbow bellowed.

"Whatever" Cumulus shrugged

"Cumulus Dash you are grounded" Rainbow continued her ranting.

Cumulus looked at Nick in the hope that he was going to sweet talk Rainbow into not grounding her.

Nick took notice of this.

Do you love me?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes I do" Cumulus replied with a smile.

"Why you lie to Rainbow Dash?" Nick asked with a frown. "

NICK THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT" Cumulus snapped.

"Yes that's important, Cumulus tell me now" Nick said, with a sigh.

Nick was drooling and his hands were moving.

Twilight wiped the drool from Nick's face and hands.

"Nick you need to calm down" Twilight said, in a calm voice.

"No" Nick yelled.

Twilight facehoofed.

"Nick I don't have time to take care of you" Twilight said, with a sigh.

"Why do you not have time?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow, when he had calmed down enough to be able to talk without yelling.

Whenever Nick gets excited, his muscles get stiff, that makes talking very difficult for him.

"Because I don't know how to take care of you yet, I'm sorry" Twilight replied with a slight edge in her voice.

Twilight turned and walked to the window, she looked out over the town.

"We should go out to lunch at my favorite strip club in downtown Manhattan" Twilight said, as she walked away from the window.

"Let's get goin' all ready" Applejack said, as she picked up Nick and layed him across her back.

"Nick you're very heavy" Applejack said, to Nick as they were walking to the front door of the hotel.

"I know that" Nick said, by tapping his finger on the big mac button that Twilight was holding in her Magic.

They were walking into downtown Manhattan to get somethin' to eat.

"THIS IS SO AWESOME" Cumulus said, to Nick.

Nick nodded in agreement.

After a while they arrived at a strip club.

"So I was thinkin' before we get somethin' to eat, that we should go to a party and what better place to go then a strip club" Twilight said, as the door opened and they were led inside.

Rarity facehoofed as Cumulus and Nick went to enjoy themselves.

"Cumulus you need to stay where I can see you" Twilight called over her shoulder to Cumulus.

Cumulus waved her hoof in the air, she was standing at the bar with Nick.

"I would like 12 shots for me and my friends please" Cumulus said, to the bartender.

The bartender nodded.

"Thanks" Cumulus said, with a smile at the bartender.

"My pleasure little lady" the bartender said, with a laugh.

Nick guided Cumulus back to the table.

"Sit down" Nick demanded.

Cumulus did as she was told.

"Shots for everyone" Cumulus said, once she had sat down at the table.

Twilight gave Nick his first shot to drink. Twilight held the shot glass in her magic, she put the glass to Nick's lips, Nick started drinking, when he had finished drinking he tapped his finger on the button for more please, and as he did that a males voice says more please.

Twilight took another shot glass from the table and then she filled the glass with Crystal head vodka.

"This is the best vodka in Equestria" she said, with a grin at Nick.

A couple glasses later:

They were all drunk and delirious from the Crystal head vodka that they had been drinking.

Twilight fell onto the table with a thud.

"Hey Nick you look sexy" Cumulus said, with a laugh.

Nick moved in for a long and passionate kiss.

I love you Nick said as pulled away and smiled.

"Good?" Nick asked with a smile at Cumulus.
Cumulus just looked at Nick and grinned as she said, "I love you too" and then they kissed again.

A week later:

The main six and Cumulus were back in Ponyville.

Nick had to go back to the jungle, because his uncle Tarzan didn't want him to stay in Equestria.

Cumulus got her own house in Ponyville so she could be close to her mom.

Cumulus didn't want Nick to leave her, because she loved him so.

"I have to go now" Nick said, to Cumulus.

Cumulus broke down in tears.

"You can't go" she sobbed.

"Cumulus Nick has to go back to the jungle" Rainbow said, to her daughter.

I am sorry" Nick said, to Cumulus.

"Nick I love you so much please don't go" Cumulus sobbed.

"Goodbye" Nick said, as he hugged Cumulus tightly.

"Bye Nick I'll miss you" Cumulus said, when she had stopped crying.

When Nick had gone: Cumulus started crying again.

"Cumulus I know you must miss him so much" Fluttershy said, with a sigh.

Cumulus threw herself on to the floor of the library.

"Cumulus Dash you're not a foal anymore" Fluttershy said, in a stern voice.

"Why did he have to go?" Cumulus asked as she got up from the floor of the library, by now she had stopped crying.

"Well....his uncle wanted him to come back to the jungle" Twilight said, to her niece.

"Ok, but he wanted to go out with me" Cumulus said, to Twilight.

"Oh" Twilight said, as she patted Cumulus on the back.

"It's ok, I have gotten over him leaving me" Cumulus said, with a weak smile.

Cumulus went upstairs to bed. It was almost 8:00 at night.

The end.
