Homework Hustle

Previous Chapter

As the 4 ponies trotted into town, they all saw how busy the streets were today. Midnight checked the to-do list.

"Lets see... we need to help Applejack deliver some apples to a place called 'Sugar Cube Corner'..."

"Then help Fluttershy with animal watch." Lumber continued.

"Aid Rarity with modeling a new outfits for Canterlot." FlameStar said.

"Finally, Help Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts perfect their Sonic Bolt maneuver!" Jayhawk finished. The ponies were amazed, but they were determined to help out the Ponyville residents. "Well Obviously I should go to Cloudsdale to help Rainbow Dash." Jayhawk said confidently. "Besides, I am a Pegasus. None of you can stand on clouds."

"I could help out with the animals." Lumber said. "Earth Ponies are great with nature."

"Then ill go get the apples!" Midnight replied. FlameStar was surprised. He was sure Midnight would choose to help Rarity model.

"Then I'll go and model those clothes..." FlameStar said, but he was very nervous inside. It was bad enough he had to model in front of girls back at Canterlot High. He'd be devastated had he had to do the same where he actually lived. FlameStar trotted off to the Boutique to help Rarity.


Jayhawk had arrived in Cloudsdale. He saw Rainbow Dash there waiting for him.

"Hey! Jayhawk right?" Asked Rainbow. "You must be here to train with the Wonderbolts."

Jayhawk smirked. "Sure am. Ready to dazzle the Bolts with my speed!"

Rainbow glared at Jayhawk. "Oh really? I'd like to see you go faster than me."

Jayhawk was suprised. No one ever stood up to challenge him back in the village. "Ok then..."

The sky was cleared for Rainbow and Jayhawk. Soarin trotted in with a flag in his wing. "You will each take this track that flies over Ponyville." He explained. "You mustn't make contact with your opponent or slow them down in any way." Soarin pulled out his flag. Rainbow Dash chuffed and scrapped her hoof. Jayhawk spread his wings. "3... 2.... 1.... FLY!!" The two Pegasi rocketed out the starting line, leaving Soarin dazed and unsteady.

Jayhawk hurried across the sky. His mane left a trail where he flew. Then he heard an explosion.

"A Sonic Boom?" Jayhawk pondered. Rainbow flew by with rainbow colors all over her.

"Correction: A Sonic RAINBOOM!!" Rainbow Dash rocketed away leaving her signature Sonic Rainboom in Jayhawk's path.

"*Cough!* So much rainbow and cuteness!! *Hack!*" Jayhawk spluttered and crashed in the clouds. Rainbow zoomed by and crossed the finish. Jayhawk was upset. Rainbow flew down to him posing confidently, while Jayhawk banged his hoof in frustration.


Meanwhile, FlameStar arrived at Rarity's Boutique. He peered inside and he didn't expect what he saw. It was a bunch of hoodies, tuxedos and casual wear for stallions.

"Woah! I think I like it here more..." FlameStar said. He trotted in and looked around. The boutique was very empty. It looked as if something scared off everyone and they deserted the place. FlameStar wanted to make sure everything was okay. "If I go trot out and try to find Rarity, the Boutique will be open and busy again. Then I won't have to model something embarrassing." With that in mind, FlameStar set off to find Rarity, wherever she was. He didn't see a certain pony with lavender and pink hair watch him walk off.

"Ok he's gone." The pony said. Rarity trotted out with a dress on a mannequin.

"Well done, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said. "This dress isn't ready yet for FlameStar."

As the red cladded unicorn trotted along serving for Rarity, Midnight had arrived at Sugarcube corner. Pinkie Pie was waiting for her.

"Hello stranger from another town that I probably never seen before!" Pinkie greeted. Midnight blinked twice before recovering.

"Um hi. I brought some apples." Midnight said. "Is this Sugarcube Corner?"

"Sure is!" Pinkie said. "My name's Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"

"Midnight Animes. I'm an old friend of FlameStar's."

"*gasp!* FlameStar told me about you!" Pinkie said. "Your town close to the Changeling Kingdom was overran y dark vines, but FlameStar used fire to burn them away and got his Cutie Mark. Then the town kicked him out and he wandered Equestria and found us!" Midnight was taken aback from the mouthful that came out of Pinkie's mouth. Fortunately, She was able to tell what she said.

"Pretty much, yeah." Midnight replied. "Is she always like this?"

"You gotta tell me more about FlameStar!" Pinkie dragged Midnight into Sugarcube Corner and Midnight was in for a really LONG conversation.


Back in Cloudsdale, Jayhawk had gotten back on his hooves and was ready to help the Wonderbolts.

"Ok so, show me what has been happening." Jayhawk asked. The Wonderbolts took off and performed the routine. It was going well at first. In fact, it was mesmerizing. Then came what the Wonderbolts called "The Darkest Move." During this move, many Bolts will be together and makes it hard to see, hence "The Darkest Move." Jayhawk stared intensively at the complex maneuvers. Then it happened. One bolt couldn't gain enough speed to clear through and clipped another bolt. Soon this caused a domino effect until all the bolts have fell to the soft clouds below. Jayhawk spread his wings, noticing what just occurred.

"I see the problem." Jayhawk pointed out. He flew into the air and said, "You don't have enough speed!" Rainbow Dash pondered a moment. "Without enough speed, you'll splutter out the sky because you're not flapping your wings. Too much speed and you'll overshoot the target and plummet into storm clouds." Rainbow Dash was impressed.

"Hmm... its worth a shot! Speed training now everypony!"


It had been about 2 hours and FlameStar still hadn't found Rarity. He had given up. FlameStar trotted back to the Boutique and saw Sweetie Belle.

"Oh HI! You must be FlameStar."

"Yeah, I'm looking for a pony named Rarity. Have you seen her?"

"You're talking to her sister!" Sweetie Belle said. "I'm Sweetie Belle and my older sister is inside." FlameStar face-hoofed.

"Of course..." he groaned. "I should've stayed at the boutique." FlameStar quickly brushed it off. "At least I'll be able to model those hoodies and tuxedos like I saw earli---!!!" FlameStar saw a mannequin of a gown and his heart sank... "Ok... no problem, no problem... this Is for friendship." But in the back of his mind, the memories or wearing a dress back at Canterlot High played on repeat the whole time.

"FlameStar, Darling, you're here!" Rarity said, gratefully.

"Let me guess, I need to model the dress?" FlameStar asked, dreading for the worse.

"Oh no Darling! Your here to help judge the outfits!" FlameStar felt a weight being lifted. He breathed.

"Oh that I can do! After all, honesty is an element of Friendship."


Many, Many hours later....

FlameStar, Midnight and Jayhawk all reconvened back at the falls at the base of the school, it was nighttime and they were tired and dirty.

"What happened to you, Midnight?" FlameStar asked.

"I was talking for a long time and learned the laughter part of Friendship..."

"I had to help the Bolts, but I did learn loyalty."

"I helped Rarity with judging dresses. I learned Generosity..." Then, Lumber came back with a finch in tow.

"Yeesh... you guys had a rough day today?" The ponies nodded, feeling very fatigued. "I learned something about kindness."

"Seems like you 4 all learned something about friendship today." Said a voice. It was Twilight. "I observed all your tasks today and I'm personally grading you all. I was headmare of the school before." After a quick look through, Twilight finally said, "I'm happy to say you all passed! Well done today!"

"Thanks, Twilight. " FlameStar said. He looked at his old friends. He had no doubts about them. He was happy they came to Ponyville. "Hey guys! Come with me to my place, I'll show you where you can sleep." The 4 ponies had a lively conversation as they trotted on home.

"That FlameStar is really something..." Twilight said.
