A project that is full of fun

After being paired up in a project members of the Dazzlings and Rainbooms must come together if they want to pass. From sweets and tacos, to animals, to fashion, this book has it all. Will the similar Pinkie Pie and Sonata Dusk get along or are they too similar? Will the mean Aria Blaze get along with the soft-spoken and kind Fluttershy? And will the fashionistas Rarity and Adagio Dazzle's fashion designs clash? And will Project Fun live up to its name or will it be the opposite of fun? Will these past enemies put down their differences and work together or is their past blood one that can't be outlooked?

1. Operation: Project Fun

Being in Ms. Cheerilee was never a fun thing for the Dazzlings but since they didn't have anything better to do with their lives they decided to stay at CHS even after losing their powers to the Rainbooms. It still felt like yesterday when that tragic nightmare happened to them, but there was no time to focus on the past, the girls had to focus on the present. Which was them currently paying attention to Ms. Cheerilee as she spoke on and on about something that the Dazzlings could care less about paying attention to. Sonata and Pinkie were talking to one another in the back of the room about anything and everything they could talk about. Aria was throwing paper balls at the back of Twilight's head and laughed every time she would look around wondering who was doing it. And as for Adagio, she was doing her nails minding her own business. Now although the class wasn't the funniest thing in the world, the Dazzlings had no clue just how horrid class was about to get.

"Alright, class." Ms. Cheerilee said, getting the class's attention including the Dazzlings. Ms. Cheerilee smiles noticing that all of her students were paying attention to her. "Today we will be starting a partner project!" The class groaned at the horrible announcement and news they had just been told. Ms. Cheerilee rolled her eyes at the class's response. "Now I know projects aren't the best, but, this project is one you all might like." Ms. Cheerilee then went over to her desk and turned on the class monitor. When the class monitor turned on the words 'Project Fun' appeared causing the class to look at it in confusion. "Class, this project is called Project Fun. The project, just like the name states should be fun and involves fun. You and a classmate will be paired up and show the class a fun activity the two of you have created. The two of you will then present your creation to the rest of the class."

The class started looking around at one another smiling about the project. Aria rolled her eyes not having a care in the world about the project, Adagio looked up from doing her nails but quickly went back to doing them, also not caring about the project. And as for Sonata and Pinkie, they were smiling at one another hoping they would be paired up together but they had a strong feeling that they were going to be working together.

"Now for who you will be working together with..." Ms. Cheerilee pulled out a piece of paper and then began reading the list of pairs. "First pair is Sonata Dusk and Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie and Sonata looked at each other and smiled, the two high-fived as they couldn't wait to work with one another. "This is going to be so much fun! I wonder what we should do?" Sonata then began to think, but she then quickly came up with a "bright" idea. "We should climb up Mount Everest and eat tacos at the very top while sitting on our heads!" Looking over at Pinkie she saw Pinkie shake her head.

Bouncing from her seat Pinkie then smiled as a lightbulb appeared above her head. "I have an even better idea! We should make the world's biggest chocolate volcano!" Sonata looked at Pinkie and nodded vigorously, smiling at her idea. Ms. Cheerilee looked at the two girls and sighed already taking back her idea of pairing the two up. 'I don't get paid enough for this. Why did I choose them to work together again?'

As if being able to hear her thoughts Pinkie spoke up. "Because the author wanted us to be paired up!" Everyone looked at Pinkie confused but shook it off as if it was Pinkie Pie just being herself like always. Ms. Cheerilee sweatdropped but recovered as she got back to reading the list.

Not wanting the two girls to affect her mood, especially Pinkie, Ms. Cheerilee looked back at the class with a forced smile as she then read the next pair. "Next two partners are Rarity and Adagio Dazzle." Once again Ms. Cheerilee cringed as she said the two names as she both knew Rarity and Adagio both could have their "moments".

Adagio looked up from doing her nails and sighed. "Oh, how fun, I'm with the drama queen of the bunch." Adagio wasn't very fond of Rarity or any of the Rainboom girls, but she wasn't going to throw a hissy fit about it. Not wasting any more of her time Adagio went right back to doing her nails. Rarity on the other hand looked at Adagio from across the room and groaned.

"Oh, how marvelous, I'm with her of all people." Being paired up with the leader of the Dazzlings was not something Rarity was looking forward to. "I simply shall not fail this project because of her. She better pull her weight in the project, a lady cannot simply work on a project alone without help." Rarity crossed her arms and huffed. Applejack who was sitting next to her gave a small smile as she patted Rarity on the back to hopefully make her feel better.

Ms. Cheerilee then looked at the next pair and frowned. She felt bad that she paired the two of them up, but if there was anyone who might be able to work with Aria, it was her. "Next is Aria Blaze and Fluttershy." Ms. Cheerilee looked over at Fluttershy and already felt bad, the poor girl was already shaking in her seat, most likely because of who she was paired with.

Fluttershy looked over at Aria who was staring back at her and gulped, she silently slid down her chair to hide as she covered her face with her hair. "Oh, I do hope things go well. I would hate to get on her bad side." Fluttershy whispered before she then looked back up to see Aria still looking at her with that glare of hers. Not wanting to be rude Fluttershy pulled the courage to give a small smile and give a small shaky wave.

Aria sighed and turned back around not wanting to look at Fluttershy anymore. She then rolled her eyes now figuring out the situation she was in. "Great, I'm with the animal lover who doesn't even know how to speak, much less say a sentence." Aria then looked over at Fluttershy who was still hiding from Aria. Aria turned to look back at the board which still had Project Fun on it. "Ugh, so much for this project being "fun". This is the worst, why couldn't we of left this retched school." Aria looked up at the ceiling silently praying for a way to get out of this project, much less the school and city as a whole. Not wanting to hear the rest of the pairs the Dazzlings went back to doing their own thing.

A few minutes later with everyone getting paired up with their partners, some happy with who they got and some not so much, class was finally over. The bell rang signaling the end of class, as kids started to get up Ms. Cheerilee made one last speech. "This project is to be turned in by next week. If you have any questions just come to me, now I hope you all have a good rest of your day."

Kids began leaving her class talking to one another about the project they had been given. Some kids however weren't so talkative about the project, whether it was because of the project or because of who their partner was, it was anyone's guess. Once everyone left the classroom, Adagio and Aria then both walked up to Ms. Cheerilee hoping to request a switch from her. Ms. Cheerilee saw the two girls coming and sighed as she had already guessed this was going to happen.

When the two reached her desk, Adagio spoke up. "Ms. Cheerilee, I-"

Not looking up from her laptop Ms. Cheerilee spoke up cutting off Adagio. "No, Adagio. You cannot switch partners, you must work together with Rarity on this project. If you would like, however, I can gladly give you the F already."

Adagio growled at this but kept her temper down. "Fine." And just like that Adagio left the room leaving Ms. Cheerilee alone with Aria. Ms. Cheerilee then turned and looked at Aria to see what she wanted, although she had a guess at what she was going to ask.

Aria crossed her arms as she blankly stared at Ms. Cheerilee. "I have the same question but I'm guessing it's the same answer for me as well?"

Ms. Cheerilee smiled at her. "You're pretty smart when you actually want to be. So, what will it be for you? Do the project or take the F?"

Aria smiled back at Ms. Cheerilee. "You know, out of all the teachers who work here, you're not that bad." Aria then walked out of the classroom with a smile of respect on her face. When she opened the door to go she saw Sonata and Adagio waiting for her. "Welp, there's no getting out of this one."

Sonata then jumped up. "C'mon, guys! It won't be that bad, this project is called Project Fun because it's meant to be fun! So let's just have some fun and do this project!" Adagio and Aria looked at their sister and rolled their eyes.

Adagio then looked down at her sister. "Unlike us, Sonata, you had someone you can actually get along with. I, unfortunately, have to deal with Ms. Drama Queen. And Aria has to work with Fluttershy, which isn't near as bad but could still be better."

Aria shrugged her shoulders. "As long as she stays quiet and whatnot we can do whatever she wants to do."

Sonata smiled and pulled her two sisters in for a group hug. "See, things won't be that bad. Let's just get the project over with, and then we can all go back to being classmates."

Adagio groaned and rubbed her forehead. "Ugh, whatever. Let's just go home and stop thinking about this project." As the three girls started to walk out of the school Adagio had seen the Rainbooms talking to one another and having fun nearby. "This is a one-time thing that we work with them. Don't forget what they did to us and our powers, they are our mortal enemy. Once this project is over we'll go right back to being enemies." Her sisters nodded at what she said and continued to make their way home.

Adagio looked at the Rainbooms one last time with a furious glare. 'I'll never forgive you for what you did to us, one day we will have our revenge! I'll make sure of it!'

2. A Recipe For Disaster

It was another day in Canterlot and the two good friends Pinkie Pie and Sonata Dusk were prepared to start their project. The two were currently at Pinkie's house in the kitchen getting the ingredients and cooking utensils out of the cabinets to use. After having gathered all the cooking equipment needed the two then started to brainstorm what to make for their project. However, coming up with something both Pinkie and Sonata wanted to make was a problem.

Turning off the faucet after washing her hands, Sonata sighed. "I still don't see why we can't make gigantic-sized tacos. I mean, who doesn't like tacos!? Tacos are the best! They're delicious! The hot meat, the gooey cheese, the crunchy taco shell, not to mention the lettuce, and the taco sauce! Tacos are a food that many things can be put in it, like our friendship! And did I forget to add, THAT THEIR GIGANTIC SIZED!!" Sonata waved her hands in the air while screaming to emphasize her point.

Pinkie looked over at Sonata and sighed. "But sweets are so tasty! They make you feel good when you're feeling down. There are so many different kinds of sweets out there, like friendships too! Plus! You always talk about tacos and eat tacos at least once a day, it's time for a chan-"

"WE AREN'T CHANGING ANYTHING!" Sonata cut Pinkie off. Sonata then crossed her arms. "Besides it's like you can talk, every day it's sweets this and sweets that. For crying out loud you have sweets in your hair." Sonata looked over at Pinkie who was staring at Sonata while licking a lollipop. "YOU'RE EATING SWEETS RIGHT NOW!"

Pinkie looked down at the lollipop and quickly put it back in her hair nonchalantly. "I don't know what you're talking about." Pinkie then went over to the counter and started taking out some sugar and started pouring it into a bowl. "Now come on, let's make some tasty sweets. It'll be a lot of fun, just give it a try!" Pinkie then started to do what she did best and started making some sweets. Sonata, however, wasn't so spot on with Pinkie's plan.

Sonata walked over to Pinkie and grabbed her by the wrist stopping her. She then turned Pinkie around so that the two were face to face as Sonata then got up close. "We're making tacos!" Sonata then let go of Pinkie's wrist and then went over and grabbed some cheese and meat as she then started to turn on the oven. "Now c'mon let's make some tacos! You'll love my special taco recipe."

Pinkie glared over at Sonata who was now happily humming a song as she started cooking the taco meat. "No, we're making sweets."

Sonata stopped what she was doing and turned around to face Pinkie Pie. "Pink, I love you, but we're making tacos."

Sighing, Pinkie began. "Nata, I love you too, but we're going to make sweets." The two then started to glare at one another, a battle taking place between the two's eyes.

Maud Pie who had walked into the kitchen to get some food for Boulder just so happened to walk into the deadly staring contest. Not caring, she got into one of the cabinets and pulled out some crackers, and poured them on Boulder which then hit the ground. Maud then started to walk back to her room. "Just don't make a mess in the kitchen, we still need to make dinner for later." Maud then turned the corner and walked back into her room.

The two friends continued staring at one another until they both turned their heads away from one another and started working on their own thing. Sounds of cooking, baking, and mixing could be heard throughout the Pie's kitchen. All throughout the cooking process Sonata and Pinkie kept their distance away from one another. Whenever they got close they would look away or move somewhere else in the kitchen.

After nearly an hour of cooking both the tacos and the sweets were finished. Pinkie Pie and Sonata looked at their creations, happy with what they had made. Sonata smiled, "Now that the tacos are done, we can present them as our project."

Pinkie looked over at Sonata and her tacos. "Those things? They're just plain tacos, what happened to them being gigantic? We're going to show the class my sweets as our project."

Sonata looked at the sweets with disgust. "Those sweets probably aren't even sweet if anything they're probably sour."

Pinkie scoffed at Sonata's words. "Yeah well, at least I made what I said I would make. You made small tacos, just like your brain!"

Sonata gasped at Pinkie's harsh words. "Don't talk about my brain like that! I'll make the biggest tacos you've ever seen!"

"And I'll make the sweetest sweets you've ever tasted!" Pinkie yelled back.

Just like that the two girls then started competing with one another trying to outdo each other. When one would make something, the other would try to outdo it and make something better. Meat, sugar, candy pieces, cheese, and all kinds of other food flew around the kitchen. At the end of their little competition (which only ended because they ran out of ingredients), Sonata had one ginormous taco next to her, and Pinkie had a huge candy cane next to her. The two girls panted from exhaustion after all the cooking they had done.

"Now then... we're taking this taco... and we're going to make it our project." Sonata panted as she tried to regain her breath.

"No... we're taking this candy cane... and presenting it as our project." Pinkie spoke wiping the sweat off of her forehead.

In anger, Sonata slammed her hands against the counter and yelled at Pinkie. "Why can't we just do my idea you pink brat!"

Not like being called a pink brat, Pinkie slammed her own hands against the counter and yelled back. "Why can't we go with the sweets you siren!"

Too busy staring each other down both Sonata and Pinkie were unaware that both the taco and candy cane had come off balance and were starting to collapse. Using her Pinkie senses, Pinkie was able to detect that something dangerous was about to happen. When she turned her head to see the candy cane and taco falling over she quickly reacted and pulled Sonata away.

Before Sonata could yell as to why Pinkie did that, she heard the sound of a loud bang, along with the debris of food flying all over the kitchen. When she opened her eyes the whole kitchen had been covered full of food from top to bottom, not to mention both the girls as well. "Look at what you did Pinkie! Now my taco and the kitchen are ruined because of you!"

"Me?! This is all your fault! Now my perfectly good candy cane and the kitchen are destroyed thanks to you!" Moaning in sadness Pinkie looked at the kitchen and then at her and Sonata. "I better start cleaning up the kitchen, Maud is going to kill me." Pinkie then crouched down and started picking up pieces of food from the ground.

Sonata looked at Pinkie with sympathy and crouched down to help. "I'm sorry Pinkie, for everything. You only wanted to make sweets but I was too taco obsessed. You're not a pink brat, you're my best friend."

Pinkie looked at Sonata and smiled. "It's ok Nata, I forgive you. And I'm sorry too, you're not just a siren. You're my best friend, the greatest friend someone could ever have." The two looked at one another and hugged. Pinkie then stood up to start cleaning up the counter when she noticed a taco covered in sweets. "This still looks good. It would be a shame to waste food that's still good." Pinkie sniffed the taco and then took a bite out of it.

Sonata looked at her in disgust and gagged. "Pinkie! That's your sweets on the tacos!"

Pinkie giggled as she ate the taco. "It's really good! Try it!"

Sonata looked down at the taco and decided to give it a taste. She bit into the taco and was immediately hit with a variety of tastebuds. "It's delicious!" The two girls finished the taco and couldn't believe just how amazing it tasted. "Well Pink, I think we found our project."

"Yeah! A combination of sweets and tacos! Sweets Tacos!" Pinkie yelled happily.

"I love it!" Sonata yelled with a smile. "And it wouldn't have happened if we didn't get into that fight. Working together with you is the best Pinkie! We're going to ace that project for sure!"

Pinkie embraced Sonata in a hug. "I love working with you too Nata! There's not a better team than you and me! Ms. Cheerilee and the class are going to love the sweets tacos we make for them!"

Sonata smiled. "We better start working on making them then!" The two girls laughed and started to leave the house to get the necessary ingredients to make the newly found sweets tacos.

Coming out of her room, Maud Pie entered the kitchen to see it in a disaster. Maud kept a neutral expression on her face as then a small smile appeared on her face. "Who else but Pinkie Pie?" Maud then got to work cleaning the kitchen.

What was at first a disaster soon become the creation of something new. Pinkie and Sonata walked hand in hand to the grocery store with smiles on their faces. Every though they may have gotten into a little argument, at the end of the day they were still the best of friends.

3. Dance Of Friendliness

It was a bright and sunny day in Canterlot and Fluttershy and Aria were currently at Canterlot Park. The two of them were working on their project in which Fluttershy wanted to do an animal choreography with the animals at the animal shelter and Aria being Aria, she could've cared less what they did. So now, here they were at the park and Fluttershy was teaching the animals the motions of the dance as Aria sat on a bench and was messing around with her phone.

"Um... A-Aria?" Aria looked up from her phone and looked at Fluttershy who seemed a bit, well... shy. "Since this is a p-partner project maybe you can... h-help out a bit?"

Aria sighed. This was exactly was she was hoping not to happen. For Fluttershy to ask for her help with the project. "Look, Buttershy. As much as I'll love to help you with these pests, you seem to be doing a reasonably good job by yourself. You're the animal lover in the Raingoons group anyways. You're good with animals, I'm not. So this is a you thing."

"Um, m-my name is Fluttershy actually..." Aria then glared at Fluttershy who got scared and hid behind her hair. "And t-these animals aren't p-pests they're very nice and friendly." Angel hopped over to Fluttershy in which the girl smiled and then petted Angel. "Anyone can be good with animals, you just have to give it a try."

Aria rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well I don't want to help out with these pes-" Before Aria could finish she looked up to see Fluttershy staring at her. Aria looked back at Fluttershy, the stare the shy girl was given was horrifying. It was as if the girl was piercing into her soul, and it frightened Aria. "Ugh, fine I'll help. Just stop looking at me like that."

Immediately, Fluttershy stopped giving Aria the stare and gave a bright smile. "Thank you, Aria. Now let me show you the routine for the choreography." Aria groaned and walked with Fluttershy over to where all the animals were at. Fluttershy clapped her hands getting all the animal's attention as they walked over to Fluttershy. "Now little ones why don't we show Aria your moves."

The animals cheered as they then got into place. Fluttershy then went over to a little radio and turned on some music. Just like that the animals started doing their little dance with some spins and jumps, Aria watched the scene and even though she wouldn't say it, she was impressed. The animals then did their big finish which was the animals climbing on each other and making a triangle.

Aria did a little clap and Fluttershy smiled. "I knew you would like it." Fluttershy then turned to the animals who were panting from all the dancing they had done. "Good job everyone, take a nice break." The animals cheered as they then either took a nap or got some food or water. Fluttershy smiled and turned over to Aria. "What did you think of our dance?"

Aria shrugged her shoulders. "It was cool and whatnot, probably good enough to get an A on the project. Good job, Buttershy."

"It's... F-Fluttershy." Fluttershy shook her head and then smiled hugely at Aria. "Would you like to meet all the animals?"

Aria was about to say no but then she saw Fluttershy who was giving her the doggy eyes. The more Aria looked at the eyes the more she couldn't just say no so without having any other choice she submitted to Fluttershy. "Fine, but I've already told you I'm not good with animals."

The two of them walked over to the animals, with Fluttershy pulling Aria along. When they got close Fluttershy whistled and got the animal's attention. "Now everyone this is my friend Aria, she's my partner for the project. I want all of you to say hello."

The animals got up and went over to Aria but when they took a look at Aria they froze in fear as they felt the malevolent aura surrounding Aria as Aria continued to stare down at the animals with a stare that could kill. The animals got scared and ran into some bushes leaving all but one animal who was still frozen in fear and couldn't run away. "Oh no, please come back! Aria won't hurt you."

Aria sighed. "I told you I'm not good with animals, they're all scared of me."

Fluttershy picked up the animal that was still frozen in fear. It was a little brown bunny but after being picked up by Fluttershy it snapped out of its frozen state as Fluttershy petted it. "You just need to be more friendly and maybe look a bit nicer."

Aria crossed her arms. "And what's that supposed to mean? I'm perfectly kind and friendly."

Fluttershy just looked at Aria and sat down, Aria deciding to follow her move sat down as well. "Look I'll show you." Fluttershy put the bunny down between the two of them as it faced Fluttershy. Giving the bunny a smile she put her hands out. "Now come here Buttercup." The bunny who was named Buttercup hopped into Fluttershy's lap as the girl then started petting the bunny. She then looked up at Aria. "See it's not so hard, give it a try."

Aria looked at the girl and nodded her head. She put her hands out and gave the bunny a smile. "Come here little bunny." The bunny looked at Aria, the smile that Aria thought she was showing was something way different to the bunny. The bunny like earlier was frozen in fear and quickly ran over to Fluttershy. "Ugh, see this isn't working."

Fluttershy who was petting the scared bunny looked up at Aria. "You have to handle it more carefully, give them a genuine smile, not a forced one. Buttercup here is still a newborn, she's only five weeks old so she's still a baby. She can get scared easily so you have to approach her very cautiously." Fluttershy put the bunny down between the two of them once again. "Now go on and try again."

Aria decided to take Fluttershy's advice and nodded her head. Putting her hands out once again and giving the best genuine smile she could muster, she looked at the bunny. "Hi, little pes- Buttercup. C'mere I won't hurt you, I just want to be your friend."

The bunny at first looked at Aria and stared at her. Aria stayed still waiting to see what the bunny would do, silently hoping the bunny would jump into her hands as it did with Fluttershy. The more the bunny stared at Aria the more she was giving up. Right as Aria was about to give up the bunny hopped a step forward and then another and another until it then leaped into Aria's hands. Aria gasped as the bunny made contact with her hands, she then grabbed Buttercup and held it.

Aria looked at Buttercup and smiled as she started petting it. Fluttershy looked at the ex-siren and smiled at the scene. "Oh, I knew you could do it Aria."

Aria looked up at Fluttershy and smirked as she continued petting Buttercup. "Yeah, I guess I could do it."

Fluttershy nodded her head and smiled. She smiled as she heard the bushes near them shaking. Fluttershy turned her head to see all the animals getting out of their hiding spot as they looked at Aria who was happily petting Buttercup. The animals then walked over to the two girls no longer scared of Aria. Fluttershy smiled and turned her head to Aria who hadn't noticed the other animals coming toward them. "How would you feel to make some new animal friends?"

Aria looked up confused until she noticed all the other animals from earlier. She then looked at Fluttershy and smiled. "Let's just hope this isn't a big waste of time." The two girls smiled as they then began to hang out with the rest of the animals.

For the rest of the day, Aria and Fluttershy enjoyed their time together with all the animals. All of them enjoyed a nice lunch courtesy of Fluttershy and had fun playing and working more on their routine. The sun was starting to set and everyone was starting to get ready to leave. They first had to bring the animals back to the shelter so the two of them were walking with the animals, Aria still had Buttercup in her hand with a smile on her face.

When the girls got there Fluttershy started putting the animals away for the day, giving them their dinner as she started to close down the store. Aria not wanting to say goodbye to Buttercup however held the bunny with a frown on her face. She had grown to like Buttercup throughout the day, and she wasn't exactly looking forward to saying goodbye. Fluttershy noticed this and walked over to Aria. "You don't want to let go of Buttercup, do you?" Aria looked at Fluttershy, she knew there was no reason to even try lying so she shook her head.

"I knew it was bound to happen." Aria then handed Buttercup over to Fluttershy. "Here, have her back." Fluttershy looked down at Buttercup who seemed sad to leave Aria's hands. Buttercup then looked up at Fluttershy, Fluttershy knew what the face meant and smiled.

"Actually, Aria. How would you like to have Buttercup as a pet?" Fluttershy asked as she looked at Aria with a smile.

Aria looked bewildered. "You want me to have Buttercup? But- I don't have the money to buy her, I don't even know how to take care of an animal!"

Fluttershy smiled as she reached into her pocket took out some cash and put it in the register. "I'll buy Buttercup for you then and I'll help you whenever you need it." Fluttershy then gave Buttercup back to Aria who seemed happy to be back in her hands. "Besides, I think Buttercup will enjoy spending more time with you."

Aria looked down at Buttercup who smiled at her, and she smiled back. "Thank you, Fluttershy for everything today." Fluttershy smiled brightly as she waved goodbye to Aria and Buttercup.

Aria made her way home with her new pet friend. She petted Buttercup as they made their journey home together, now the only problem was, how were her sisters going to deal with their new family member? Aria shook her head, that wasn't a problem for now, for now, Aria continued petting Buttercup not having a care in the world as the stars above shined.

4. Dressing To Impressing

It was a beautiful day in Canterlot and Adagio and Rarity were currently in Rarity's boutique where they were going to start working on their project. The two of them had come to agree on their project, a fashion show. With both Adagio and Rarity both loving fashion it wasn't a hard decision to make on what their project would be about. Coming together and choosing whose fashion would be shown as the presentation, however, was becoming a problem. Currently, the two girls were finishing making sketches of what they wanted to be shown as their project.

Not too soon after the two of them finished their sketches and they both smiled at what they had made. Both girls held smirks of their own, thinking that their sketch was the more appealing one. "Well, I guess I'll start off." Adagio turned her sketch around to show Rarity. Rarity looked at Adagio's sketch, the figure had a red long shoulder split knee dress, with some black high-heeled boots, a black leather jacket, some moon-shaped earrings, a ruby necklace, some spiky bracelets, the hair was wild style, some red nails, red lipstick, black eyeshadow, and mascara to finish off the look. "So what do you think? Impressed?" Rarity looked up from the sketch to look at Adagio who had a big smirk on her face.

Rarity then smirked herself. "It was nice, but I think this is better!" Rarity then turned her sketch around so that Adagio could get a look at it. The figure in question had a pink long-sleeve crop top, a white skirt with a belt around it, some golden open high heels, some heart-shaped earrings, some golden bracelets, wavy styled hair, pink nails, pink lipstick, pink eyeshadow, black mascara, and feminine sunglasses on the figure's head. "So, what do you think?" Snapping Adagio away from looking at the sketch, she saw Rarity giving her a smirk of her own.

Adagio rolled her eyes at Rarity. "Oh please, you call that fashion? Looks more like a train wreck to me." Rarity gasped at Adagio's words as Adagio happily fiddled with her nails in triumph. Now although the sketch of Rarity's fashion design wasn't bad, heck it was actually pretty good, Adagio refused to let Rarity know that.

Rarity, however, wasn't going to back down without a fight. "Well, I'll be! Well, at least my fashion doesn't look like a living monstrosity, darling!" Now although Rarity didn't mean a word she said because Adagio's design sketch and fashion sense were truly remarkable, she wasn't going to let Adagio know that nor let her get away with her previous comment to her own work of art!

Adagio didn't take that comment so well as she gave Rarity a ferocious glare that made Rarity flinch in fear. "Well, darling." The way Adagio said darling didn't help make Rarity feel any better about the situation. "I think the only way to find out which one of our designs should be shown for the presentation is by having a fashion competition." Adagio smirked as Rarity tilted her head.

Her confusion soon changed to a smirk as she crossed her arms. "Fine then, and I have just the people who can help us." Rarity got up and took out her phone and left the room as she started to call someone. Adagio could only watch in surprise as Rarity left the room calling who knows who. She had made that challenge because she thought Rarity would get scared and back down from the challenge, but she didn't. She instead accepted Adagio's challenge and now was going to get people who could help? Adagio let out a small laugh, in the end, it didn't matter to her, whether or not Rarity's accepted the challenge or not, she would still win.

It took a few minutes but after about maybe ten minutes there was a knock at the door and Rarity gracefully opened the door. Adagio couldn't help but roll her eyes as she noticed Rainbow and Applejack walk through the door, if one Rainboom wasn't already enough, now Adagio had to deal with three of them in the same place. Rainbow and Applejack also took notice of her and although she didn't have her powers anymore, the two still got defensive seeing her.

"What is she doing here?" Rainbow asked as she pointed at Adagio with a glare. Adagio glared back at her as the two of them began to glare at one another.

Not noticing what was happening behind them, Rarity was letting Applejack know about the situation and how she and Adagio were in a fashion competition, and that she needed her and Rainbow to be their models. At first, Applejack was apprehensive about it but Rarity quickly reminded her that she and Rainbow owed her a favor from last week and that she promised. So, not wanting to break her promise Applejack accepted and allowed Rarity and Adagio to do their business.

Being distracted by continuing to look at Adagio, Rainbow didn't notice Rarity walk up from behind her and pull her by her earing dragging her outside of the room and into a different section of the boutique. The whole time Rainbow was complaining and asking Rarity to let her go. Adagio couldn't help but laugh seeing Rainbow in pain watching her being dragged away.

Adagio then turned to face Applejack to see her take her hat off and take a seat. "So I guess I'm going to do my work for you, huh?" Adagio then cracked her knuckles, ready to do her stuff.

Applejack gulped seeing Adagio smiling as she started taking out her equipment. "NO, LET ME GO! I REFUSE!" Adagio and Applejack look upstairs, most likely Rarity told Rainbow what was going to happen and she wasn't having any of it.

"RAINBOW DASH SIT DOWN NOW!" Albeit it seems as though Rarity wasn't having it either. Both Adagio and Applejack couldn't help but sigh at Rainbow's antics.

Not wanting to get distracted though, Adagio soon got to work and started doing her magic on Applejack. The same thing could be said for Rarity as she started getting to work with Rainbow Dash in another room. Both girls started to get to work, with both girls trying to outclass the other with their fashion.

Adagio and Rarity started off by washing both of the girl's hair and making them exactly as they planned, Rainbow's being wave and Applejack's being wild. They then went on to take the girls to the fitting rooms and give them the necessary clothes and jewelry for their outfits. When the two girls came out, Adagio and Rarity couldn't help but smile. Just like they had pictured, Applejack had on her red long-shoulder split knee dress, the black high-heeled boots, a black leather jacket, the moon-shaped earrings, a ruby necklace, and finally some spiky bracelets. And for Rainbow, she had on her pink long-sleeve crop top, the white skirt along with the belt to match, some golden open high heels, some heart-shaped earrings, some golden bracelets, and to finish the fit, there were some feminine sunglasses on her head.

With almost being done with their models the girls only had the makeup left to do. Starting with the girl's nails they equipped the nail polish onto the nails, with Rainbow's being pink and Applejack's being red. The fashionistas then started on their models' makeup. Rarity and Adagio started off by applying some foundation and concealer coating the girl's faces for the actual makeup to be put on. Rarity and Adagio then went on to apply some blush, some eyeshadow, and some mascara. Applejack's face was covered with some mascara as her eyes were applied with some black eyeshadow, and Rainbow's face was covered with some black mascara and her eyes were applied with some pink eyeshadow. They then went to finish things off by applying some lipstick on the girl's lips, with those being the same color as the girls' nails.

When all was done, the two girls got together to show off their fashion models. The two girls smirked at one another as they couldn't wait to see the other one look at their model in surprise and admit that they were wrong and have their wrong presented to the class for their project. With that, their two models walked out of their room and made their way into the room, and as Adagio and Rarity turned to face them, they couldn't help but gasp at the sight before them. To both Rarity's and Adagio's eyes, the other girls' models looked amazing and spectacular.

Rarity let out a cough gaining Adagio's attention. "Well, I must say, Rainbow looks pretty stunning if I must say myself." Adagio smiled as she looked at Rainbow, even she had to admit she did better than she thought. And as much as she wanted to brag about how amazing her model looked, she had to give credit where credit was due, and that was with how Applejack looked.

"Well you made Applejack look fabulous, she looks like an actual model." From the corner of her eye, Adagio noticed a blush forming on Rarity's cheeks. Adagio smiled seeing this and looked at Rainbow and Applejack one more time, it was then that she made up her mind. "You know, perhaps both of our models could be used in the presentation. What do you say?"

Rarity looked at Adagio and gave a bright smile. "I think that's a marvelous idea, darling."

Rainbow and Applejack smiled at the two of the girls and then smiled at each other. They both thought the other looked really good, but at the same time, they couldn't wait to take off their clothes and all of the makeup and jewelry on them. As they were making their way to the changing rooms to change into their everyday clothes, they walked past a mirror and they had to do a double take on what they saw, and to say the least, they were not pleased.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" With their combined screams, Applejack's and Rainbow's yells echoed throughout Canterlot.

5. The True Meaning Of Fun

When the Dazzlings woke up that day, they realized that today was the day that partners would represent their projects to the class for the grade they hoped to get. Although none of them wanted to do the presentation, they needed the grade and even though they wouldn't say it out loud they cared for their partners and they didn't want to see their partners get a bad grade as well.

Arriving at Ms. Cheerilee's class, the three girls took their seats and awaited for class to begin. Once the bell rang the presentations would then begin, as every presentation would go by the Dazzlings wouldn't bat an eye as they would be doing their own thing as they watched everyone else go up and present their good or not so good presentations. However, thanks to a very "interesting" presentation from Snips and Snails as they would do a rap song that was the equivalent of a cat scratching its nails against a chalkboard would finally catch the Dazzling's attention. Aria and Adagio held back their laughter while recording the monstrosity as their sister, Sonata was rocking to the beat nodding her head. Ms. Cheerilee who was in the back of the room could only sigh at the sight before her.

Moving on it was finally Aria and Fluttershy's presentation, Aria sighed as she got up while Fluttershy shyly got up from her seat and walked toward the front of the class. Once making it to the front of the class and seeing their animal friends the two girls smiled and then got to their presentation. The two girls looked at each other and smiled as they then gave the animals the cue to begin their dance. As soon as they began they were no backing down the class, along with Ms. Cheerilee, was mesmerized with the dance from beginning to end. When the animals finished their dance everyone in the classroom clapped and cheered, impressed by the dance. Fluttershy, Aria, and the animals smiled as they looked around the room seeing everyone enjoy their performance and presentation.

"Not bad, Fluttershy." Fluttershy who was still smiling at the class turned to face Aria in surprise. Aria who noticed Fluttershy's surprised expression, smiled. "It was thanks to you that we were able to get this done." Aria looked up to see Ms. Cheerilee happily writing down some notes in her notebook. "And it looks like we've managed to pass this project with a good grade." Aria smiled as she looked down at Buttercup who happily looked up at Aria. "And if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten Buttercup."

Fluttershy smiled at Aria's words. "Well, I couldn't have done it without my partner." Fluttershy looked up at Aria with a smile and a small blush. "And I'm glad that you and Buttercup have gotten so close." The two girls smiled as walked the animals out of the room and back into the animal shelter vehicle.

When the girls got back they noticed that it was Pinkie's and Sonata's turn to present their project. When Fluttershy and Aria got to their seats they saw Pinkie and Sonata handing out food to everyone in the class. When Sonata dropped off the food on Aria's desk, Aria could only look at the food in utter confusion. "What the?" Aria looked around to see everyone else looking at the food just as confused.

Sonata and Pinkie then make it back to the front of the room after delivering everyone a bit of the food. Pinkie then smiled, not caring about everyone's confused expressions. "Go on and try it, we hope you guys enjoy it!" Pinkie and Sonata smiled as everyone continued to look at the two of them as if they weren't already weirdos.

However, not wanting to be rude to the two girls everyone soon decided to take a bite of what, Pinkie and Sonata called, sweet tacos. One by one everyone started eating the sweet tacos as Pinkie and Sonata watched and waited to get the answer they were wanting to hear. And sure enough, they got their answer, and before they knew it everyone started eating the sweet tacos with smiles on their faces. Adagio and Aria, who normally weren't fond of tacos, since Sonata made them too many times to count, they had to admit, the sweet tacos tasted amazing.

Sonata smiled seeing everyone enjoying the tacos, even Mrs. Cheerilee was happily munching down on her taco while writing down some notes. Seeing this made her nervous for a second but Sonata had full confidence that she and Pinkie's project would be a success! "They like the tacos! They actually like the sweet tacos, Pinkie!" Sonata jumped up and down in joy as she then hugged Pinkie.

Pinkie smiled brightly as she hugged Sonata back. "I know right? They're a hit! We could make a business out of this!" The two girls looked at each other and smiled, wondering how far they could go with their newly made food. The two girls then picked up two tacos they had made sure to keep for themselves to eat and happily ate them along with their class.

After finishing their tacos, the class got back to business and started finishing the rest of their presentations. Before they knew it, it was finally Rarity and Adagio's turn to show off their project. Adagio and Rarity made their way to the front of the class, outside of the class were Applejack and Rainbow who were all dressed up and ready to be shown to the whole class. Even though the girls didn't want to be shown to the class as some sort of models, they did owe Rarity a favor.

Inside the girls could hear Rarity and Adagio go on about what they did to the two of them and how they made Rainbow and Applejack look, as Rarity would say, absolutely fabulous with their fashion and makeup. However, with neither girl knowing anything about makeup and fashion, the girls could only listen in confusion on what the two girls were talking about which sounding like baby talk to them.

Applejack had her ear against the door trying to listen in on the conversation while Rainbow was looking at herself and AJ and was starting to have different thoughts about being one of Rarity's models for her project. "Should we make a run for it?" Applejack turned to face Rainbow and gave her a hard stern. Rainbow quickly put her hands up in defense and let out a nervous laugh. "Alright sorry, it was just an idea."

"And now we would like to show you all our finished products." Rainbow and Applejack then heard Rarity's voice and soon got ready for the door to open. The door then opened and Rarity smiled seeing her two friends, she then let them in as the two girls then walked into the classroom. Upon entering the room the two girls were showered with praise and applause from the class. Applejack and Rainbow smiled as their classmates cheered for them, and Adagio and Rarity smiled that the class enjoyed their highly fashionable project.

Adagio looked at Rainbow who was happily showing off Rarity's outfit to the class, and Adagio couldn't help but be impressed. "I gotta admit, you sure made Rainbow look fantastic. I was wrong, you sure do know your fashion sense." Adagio said as she looked at Rarity with a smile seeing Applejack and Rainbow having a competition on who could do the better pose and reaction from the crowd before them.

"Well, you certainly made Applejack look stunning, darling. Why even I couldn't pull something like that off even if I tried." Looking at Applejack, Rarity couldn't believe just how amazing Adagio made her look. "And perhaps I was a tad bit rude to you as well. You know your fashion just as much as I do, so for that, I'm sorry." Adagio smiled and nodded, accepting Rarity's apology. The two of them had come a long way from when they first started the partner project, but now the two of them were finally on even terms showing off both of their accomplishments.

Once the girls were done with their competition and Mrs. Cheerilee was done writing her notes the girls were finally able to sit back down. Not much long later everyone had presented thus marking the end of Project Fun. As the bell rang signaling the end of class Mrs. Cheerilee made sure to give everyone their grades as they walked out of the room. Looking down the Dazzlings couldn't help but smile as they all noticed they had passed the project with an A. They also couldn't help but notice the depressed faces on Snips and Snails faces, most likely the rap song they made didn't get the grade they thought it would.

Leaving Mrs. Cheerilee's classroom, the Dazzlings started their adventure back home. "Well girls, I would say that this project went better than expected." Adagio said still smiling at her grade. If it wasn't for Rarity who knows what her grade would've looked like? And even though Adagio wasn't fond of working together with people, her time working with Rarity was a good one.

Sonata nodded her head with a big smile admiring her grade. "I told you two it would be better than you thought! It was so much fun working with Pinkie and making those delicious tacos! And because of it, we got these amazing grades!" Being that it was her first time ever getting an A on something, Sonata was beyond happy, to say the least.

Aria rolled her eyes at Sonata's actions, although she couldn't help but agree with Sonata. If she didn't decide to agree then what would have happened? Would she still of meet Buttercup and have her as a pet or would the two never crossed paths without pairing up with Fluttershy? "Yeah, I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." Aria then looked down and looked at her grade which showed a big A on top making her smile. "And I guess in the end it was all worth it."

Adagio nodded her head, she couldn't help but agree with her sisters. At the beginning things neither her or Aria wanted to participate in the partner project but thanks to Sonata the two decided to give it a try and work together with Rarity and Fluttershy. By doing that the girls were able to not only work together and get a good grade on their project but they were also able to make some new, dare they say, friends in all of this. Pinkie and Sonata got closer than ever before, Aria was able to get a pet from it, and Adagio was able to find someone who she could talk to about fashion.

Now although the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms might have had some bad blood in the past, that was all in the past. And even though Adagio didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Project Fun was actually pretty fun, it truly did bring out the fun like it was supposed to do. And Adagio had to admit, 'I guess the Rainbooms aren't as bad as I thought they were.' With that the Dazzlings made their way home, wondering when it would be the next time they would get to hang out with their new friends.
