The Jedi Prince III: The Spark of Hope

One morning, all of Harmony Squad was at Twilight, Cody, and Sunset’s castle enjoying themselves as they ate some tall delicious stacks of pancakes with lots of toppings like fresh berries and chocolate chips, and whipped cream. Everypony didn’t resist eating rather noisily, thought Rarity was the only pony using a fork with her magic. Pinkie literally faceplanted her own stack of pancakes.

“Mm, these are delicious, Pinkie Pie!” said Applejack after she swallowed a bite. Pinkie lifted her face, showing her face was completely covered in whipped cream and chocolate chips. She then used her tongue to slurp up the whipped cream and chocolate chips off her face.

“Thanks!” said Pinkie, “Cody and Twilight spent almost all night helping me pick the flavor! I kept thinking we found the right one, but they insisted I make even more to try. And more. And more and more and more and more!” Pinkie quickly stacked up pancakes until she had a very tall stack on her plate, “It was like they never wanted to-”

“Leave?” Fluttershy and Bucky said together wearily.

“Exactly!” said Pinkie as she took a large bite on the side of her tower of pancakes, “Eventually we ran out of time so we just went with every-berry-any-chip-surprise!” Pinkie then zipped over to Rarity.

“The surprise is I lost a measuring spoon in the batter,” Pinkie told Rarity in a hushed tone, “Somepony’s gonna get a very special pancake!” Pinkie trotted away as Rarity used her magic to skeptically check her own stack of pancakes for anything unusual.

“Is that why they’re so, uh...out of it?” Rainbow asked as she pointed to the royal couple. Each of them were sitting next to each other before their own stack of pancakes, but neither was eating any of them. Twilight and Sunset were snoring loudly, their manes and tails were very messy. Even Cody’s hair was messy. Twilight and Sunset then lifted their heads back as they kept snoring. Cody then leaned into her shoulder.

“Um, Bucky and I, don’t mean to sound unappreciative, but has anypony else noticed that Twilight, Cody, and Sunset have been a little too helpful lately?” said Fluttershy.

“Now that you mention it,” said Applejack, “They were lendin’ a hoof at Sweet Apple Acres the other day and stuck around ‘til dusk. Dug up fifty tree-plantin’ holes when all I needed was ten.” A flashback was seen of the farming grounds filled with holes and Twilight, Cody, and Sunset were inside one of the holes digging. Applejack and Sal were standing just outside the area when Twilight peeked out and smiled. Applejack just smiled back sheepishly.

The three pegasi looked to see Twilight, Cody, and Sunset, who were still snoring. Then Twilight faceplanted her stack of pancakes and hugged them like a pillow. Cody was now using Twilight’s messy mane for his own pillow and snuggled contently into it.

“Someponies who are avoidin’ somethin’, that’s who,” said Applejack as Pinkie flipped her plate of pancakes into the air and gobbled them all down at once. She then hacked and spit out...a measuring spoon?! The object went flying at Fluttershy, who was just taking another bite of her pancakes. The yellow Pegasus got bopped in the head as the stick end stuck itself into her stack. The others just stared at the spoon, looking stunned.

“I win!” Pinkie shouted excitedly.

“Huh?!” Twilight yelped as sat up with a pancake stuck on her horn.

“Yah!” Cody yelped as he tumbled off Twilight’s mane and onto the floor behind her with a thud.

“I’m pancake!” Twilight said quickly before recovering, “I mean, awake...” Twilight then lifted the pancake to smile at her friends. Cody and Sunset groaned as they sat up and rubbed the back of their heads.

“Sorry, dear,” said Twilight as she helped her husband and Sunset back to their seats beside her. Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack stared at them for a moment.

“Uh, Twilight? Cody?” Applejack asked, “Is there something you wanna tell us?” Twilight, Cody, and Sunset said nothing. Twilight just kept staring at the pancake on her face.

“You know how much we appreciate all you do for us, and we simply adore having you around...but...we worry you might be...ahem...avoid something else?” said Rarity as she used her magic to removed the pancake of off Twilight’s face, only for the three ponies to finch when Pinkie jumped up, snagged the pancake, and disappeared underneath the table. Twilight and Cody shared worried looks with each other. Cody let out a long sigh.

“I think we need to tell them, Twilight,” said Cody quietly.

“Honey, please...” Twilight protested.

“We’ve kept this secret for as long as we could,” Sunset interrupted, “I think it’s time we told our friends what’s going on. They all can tell something is up. And...maybe they can help...”

“Oh, has it been that obvious?” Twilight asked the others. All but Pinkie, who was eating the pancake she got from Twilight’s horn, gave her worried and concerned looks.

“You know Cody, you’re always saying that we can come to you about anything,” Bucky pointed out,

“Doesn’t that apply to you and your wives as well? You can tell us anything. What’s on your mind?” Sal inquired. Cody, Twilight, and Sunset just shared worried looks with each other.

“We’ve been...the thing is...” Twilight stuttered hesitantly as Cody put an arm around his wives’ shoulders, “We know it’s silly, but we...we’ve been avoiding...this place.” Twilight pointed to the castle itself as Cody and Sunset nodded in agreement. Rarity gasped dramatically.

“Why in Equestria would you want to avoid such a gorgeous castle?” Rarity asked as Fluttershy and Bucky stood to the right of the royal couple.

“Yeah, this place has everything!” said Pinkie as she popped out between Rarity and Twilight.

“Big tall ceilings that make you feel tiny,” said Pinkie as she jumped high into the air and then appeared in the background to make herself look small.

“Shiny new floors that are cold to the touch! Brrr!” Pinkie said as she rubbed a fore-hoof on the floor, lay down and shivered before zooming away.

“And it even has loooong empty hallways!” Pinkie opened a door and shouted, making the word “hallways” echo through the castle hallways. She then returned back to Twilight, Cody, and Sunset.

“Okay, I get it,” said Pinkie as Cody gave her a funny look.

“The castle is amazing, but it just... it doesn’t feel like home!” Twilight sighed.

“I agree, Twilight,” Sunset added. They then leaned their heads on the table sadly.

“It’s just so different from the Golden Oak Library,” said Cody sadly as he rubbed his wives’ backs, “You just felt naturally at home there. This castle...it just feels like...a castle...”

“What’re you talking about, Cody? You’re a prince, you grew up in the Canterlot Castle for fifteen and a half years. We’d think at least you would be used to this kind of place,” Rainbow replied.

“True, but I don’t really know my way around in this castle yet,” Cody said, “That’s why Twilight, Sunset, and I have been staying in my old childhood bedroom.” Rarity chuckled.

“Oh, is that all?” Rarity replied, “Why, you simply need to decorate, darling. Make this place your own.”

“Easier said than done,” said Cody wearily.

“He’s right,” Twilight added as Cody grabbed a pancake and took a small bite, “It’s just so daunting! Look how big it is! We-we don’t even know where to start!” Twilight was about to faceplant her plate of pancakes when Rarity pulled the pancakes out of the way as Twilight faceplanted the table. Cody then pushed his plate of pancakes away rested his head on his arms while leaning on the table.

“You can start by letting us do it for you,” said Rarity. The royal couple just looked at the fashionista with weary looks on their faces as she walked up to them, “We will make this the castle of your dreams while the both of you go to the Ponyville spa for some much needed rest and relaxation.” Rarity then held up a mirror for both Twilight and Cody to see how they looked.

“I’m saying this with love, but...have you two looked in the mirror, lately? I’ve never seen you both look this...mmmm...” said Rarity gently.

“Tired?” Sal and Bucky proposed.

“Frazzled?” Fluttershy said as well.

“Yes!” said Rarity as she set the mirror down, “That is absolutely the words I was going to use.”

“You don’t need to sugar coat it,” Cody replied in a soft and gloomy tone, “We both look like we got trapped in the Everfree forest all night. At least Twilight and Sunset still look beautiful. I, on the other hand, am completely hideous.”

“Stop it!” said Twilight as she lightly swatted his head, making him flinch, “You’re still handsome to me, Cody Ando, and don’t you forget it.”

“Thanks Twily,” said Cody, giving her a soft smile and Twilight smiled back. The others chuckled to each other.

“Ooh, I guess we do need a little help, and so does our castle. And we know you’ll do a great job, because nopony knows us better than you.” said Twilight.

“We’ll make this place feel cozier than hot cider on a rainy day,” said Applejack.

“That’s definitely the kind of cozy my wives and I could use for this place,” Cody replied with a smile. Rainbow then gasped.

“There’s gonna be cider?!” Rainbow asked hopefully with glittery eyes as she hovered into the air. Applejack and Sal gave her an annoyed look. Rainbow soon realized the orange pony was just using a metaphor.

“Uh, I mean, let’s decorate!” said Rainbow once she recomposed herself.

“Oh, no!” Spike exclaimed as he entered the dining room rubbing his eyes while holding a blanket and his Rarity plush toy, “Did I miss the pancakes?!” Spike then dropped his Rarity plushie and headed over to the table.

“I sleep like a baby under that cold, cavernous ceiling,” Spike said as he climbed onto the table and started grabbing a couple of pancakes to eat.

“Spike, I’m so glad you’re here!” said Rarity just as Spike was about to start eating.

“Really?” Spike asked, rather surprised.

“Yes!” Rarity replied, “You’re taking Twilight, Cody, and Sunset to the spa!”

“Great! I’ve been meaning to get my claws done!” Spike said, then looked at his claws before taking a bite of the pancakes he had collected. He then noticed that everypony else was just staring and smiling at him.

“Oh, you mean now!” Spike said with his mouth full before he swallowed, stuffed the pancakes in his claw into his mouth, grabbed and gobbled up two more pancakes and grabbed one pancake in each claw before guiding Twilight, Cody, and Sunset out of the dining room.

“Babe?” Twilight asked as they walked side by side once they were out of the dinning room.

“Yes, Twily?” Cody replied.

“Do you really think I’m beautiful looking like this?” Twilight asked him.

“Yes I do,” Cody replied, “Do you really think I’m handsome?”

“Of course,” Twilight said.

“We both do, no matter what,” Sunset added.

Back in the dining room, Applejack had gathered the others around her.

“Come on, y’all!” said Applejack, “We’ve got work to do!” It wasn’t long before the five girls, Sal, and Bucky exited the dining room and stated walking down one of the hallways. It was then that they started looking around for places to decorate.

“Girls, since this is Cody, Twilight, and Sunset’s place, we need to make them feel at home first and foremost,” Sal replied.

“We just need to look back on what we all liked about the Golden Oak Library and apply that to this castle,” Bucky added.

Sal, Bucky, and the five mares then looked around the room.

“Hey guys, how do my claws look?” Spike asked as he walked in.

“Oh, Spike!” said Rarity, “Are you, Twilight, Cody, and Sunset done already?”

“Don’t worry,” said Spike, “I ordered Twilight and Sunset the super-deluxe mane blow-out! They’ll be while.”

“And Cody?” Applejack asked.

“I ordered a full pedicure treatment for him,” Spike said, “He’ll be awhile as well.”

“Since you’re here, Spike, maybe you can remind us of what we all liked about the Golden Oak Library,” Sal replied.

“That way we can make Twilight, Cody and Sunset feel at home here. But we’re having trouble thinking,” Bucky added.

“What are we gonna do?!” Rainbow asked as she hovered.

“I dunno,” said Spike, “But Twilight and Sunset’s blow-out and Cody’s complete pedicure won’t take that long.”

“Come on, guys, we’ve gotta do something!” Rainbow called out, “Twilight, Cody, and Sunset are counting on us!”

“We made a lot of good memories in the Golden Oak Library, maybe you should surprise them with a part of it and something representing the memories we made,” Spike suggested.

“Good thinking, Spike,” Bucky replied.

“Spike, you’ve got to get back to that spa and stall them! Whatever you do, don’t let them come home yet!” said Rarity as she got into the little dragon’s face.

“What do I do? For how long?” Spike asked.

“We’ll, uh, maybe you could manage it ‘til...sunset-ish?” Rarity asked and battled her eyelashes at him.

Spike was instantly lovesick as he floated into the air and hearts radiated from underneath him.

“Anything for you, Rarity...” Spike replied in a dazed tone as he literally floated out of the room.

Back at the spa, Twilight and Sunet had each of their heads under a hair-dryer dome and looking at themselves in the mirror while Cody stood nearby. It was then that she noticed Spike enter from the mirror.

“Spike, you’re back!” Twilight said as the hair dome was lifted off her head, “How do we look?”

They showed both the dragon and her husband the tops of their mane, which was now done in a bushy, slightly street punk style look.

“A little like Sabine. Most impressive,” Cody replied. Twilight and Sunset each gave a light squee of happiness.

“What about you, Spike?” Twilight asked the little dragon. Spike cringed for a moment.

“Great!” Spike said quickly.

“And more importantly, how does the castle look?” Twilight asked as her bushy bangs fell over her eyes a bit.

“Great?” said Spike with a nervous look on his face, which neither alicorn noticed.

“We can’t wait to go home and see it!” said Twilight eagerly as she and Sunset got up from the salon chairs.

“What about you, sweetie?” Sunset asked.

“I’m curious to see what our friends have came up with,” Cody added as he got up as well.

“Great! I mean, no!” said Spike but then panicked as he grabbed Twilight and Sunset’s tails.

“What’s up little buddy?” Cody asked as he, Twilight, and Sunset looked at him curiously.

“I mean, uh, I’m not...quite ready to go yet,” Spike stuttered as he reached out and pulled one of the spa brochures, “Uh, why don’t we have a message? I was really hoping to get, uh...this thingy!”

“The “Extra-strength-hot-stone-deep-tissue message?” Twilight read on the brochure.

“That sounds rather...intense...” Cody said slowly. Spike gulped.

“Yep!” said Spike bravely.

“I think Sunset and I will just have a traditional message,” said Twilight as Lotus Blossom stood beside them.

“Wanna join us honey? We can do a message together,” Sunset asked.

“Sounds good to me,” Cody replied, “I was feeling a little lonely getting that pedicure all by myself.”

“But if you want that massage, Spike,” said Twilight, “You go for it.”

“Did somepony order massages?” Aloe asked when there was a loud crash from the wall next to her. Apparently Bulk Biceps was the masseur for the message Spike wanted.

“Yeah! Let’s do this, little dragon!” Bulk told Spike. The little dragon cowered fearfully as the muscular Pegasus picked Spike up between his shoulder muscles and then smashed through the wall again to exit the room.

“Oh, I hate it when he does that,” said Aloe wearily, “Come with me, prince and princesses.” Twilight, Cody, and Sunset sighed as they headed to the room for their couple’s message.

Soon enough, Twilight, Cody, and Sunset were just sighing and stretching contently.

“Great suggestion, Spike,” said Twilight, “Sunset and I feel totally relaxed.”

“Same here, dears,” Cody added, “My muscles feel nice and loosened up.”

He then did a good flip into the air and landed perfectly as Twilight and Sunset watched. Poor Spike was behind them and bent out of shape from his deep tissue message treatment.

“Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow...” Spike yelped as he tried to keep pace behind them and his joints cracking as he moved about.

“You want to hop on?” Twilight offered, “Maybe I can get us to the castle faster.” Spike froze and winced as he saw that the sun was still fairly high in the sky as some birds flew across the yellowish orb.

“Ow!” said Spike when he straightened up a little too fast, “I mean...how...nice is this day? I was hoping we could take a scenic way back.”

“I don’t know,” said Twilight.

“A scenic walk would be nice,” Cody said, “Would you mind if Twilight, Sunset, and I held hands while we do?” Twilight wasn’t feeling too sure about it.

“Come on,” Spike pushed, “Walking is good for the post-massage circulation. And the hand-holding is cool. You can kiss each other for if it means you’ll do the walk with me.”

“Really?” said Twilight, “I’ve never heard that theory, but if you’re okay with us holding hands, then let’s go.”

“Same here,” Cody added as he offered his hands.

Twilight and Sunset put theirs on top so it looked like they were holding each other’s hands. Along the way, they came to a very familiar place. Cody, Twilight, and Sunset shared sad looks with each other as the latter two sighed.

“I really miss this place, Spike,” said Twilight since she, Cody, and Sunset had already shared a moment beforehand, “We had so many wonderful memories here.” Cody and Sunset nodded in agreement as Spike looked at the ruins quietly.

“We did, didn’t we...” Spike replied sadly as a small tear came out of his eyes.

“Oh, Spike, I’m so sorry,” said Twilight sadly, “Of course losing the Golden Oak Library was hard for you too.” Twilight then pulled Spike in for a hug as Cody and Sunset hugged Spike from the sides as the little dragon shed a tear.

“I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we have the girls, Sal, and Bucky add some things to make the castle feel more like your home as well?” Twilight suggested.

“Really?” Spike asked.

“That’s a great idea, Twily,” Cody replied, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

“Hop on!” said Twilight as Spike piggybacked onto her. Spike looked back to see the sun was still out. He winced as he saw Twilight open her wings to take off. Spike grabbed the edges as she tried to take off, making the purple alicorn land on her stomach.

“Ow! What are you doing?” Twilight asked Spike.

“I, um...I just thought of what I want!” said Spike.

“Oh, okay,” said Twilight, “What is it?”

“We’re listening,” Cody added.

“It’s a...well, I want a...it’s...I kind of need a...a bed!” Spike stuttered with an over the top smile on his face. Twilight, Cody, and Sunset were stunned.

“I thought you said you sleep like a baby in the castle,” Twilight said skeptically.

“Yeah, you slept so soundly that you missed the pancake breakfast if you recall,” Cody reminded him. Spike scoffed.

“I was speaking metaphorically,” said Spike.

“Really?” Sunset asked, raising her eyebrow at him suspiciously.

“Let’s go!” said Spike, wanting to reduce the risk of Sunset making eye contact with him. Twilight and Cody shared skeptical looks with each other before reluctantly headed off to find the local shop that sold beds.

A little while later at the bed shop, Spike was testing a bed. Cody and Twilight looked very drained. Spike had literally been testing every nook and cranny of every bed in the shop.

“How’s that one?” Twilight asked, “Too soft? Too hard? Too lumpy?”

“Can you please pick something already?!” Cody said through his teeth despite the smile on his face.

“Um...” Spike pondered as he sat up and looked out the window to see the sun was setting, “Just right! I’ll take it!”

“Oh, thank goodness,” said Twilight as she, Cody, and Sunset sighed with relief, “I thought you’d never find one you liked! Let’s find a sales pony and get out of here!” It was then a sales pony appeared with a large smile on his face, ready to help.

“Look there’s one,” Cody added as he looked behind himself, “I’ll go make the purchase and find out how soon they can deliver the bed to the castle!”

“Sounds good to me……On second thought, I see another one that’s a little more my style,” Spike said, noticing Sal, Bucky, and the five mares out the window.

Twilight, Cody, and Sunset groaned in frustration.

Back with the others, they had all gone to the remains of the library. They were all feeling rather excited once Applejack had explained her plan, but when they arrived. The orange pony wasn’t feeling as confident about her idea.

“Maybe my plan won’t work after all,” Applejack sighed as the rest of the group looked just as sad and worried. Then Rarity perked up.

“Of course it will, darling,” said Rarity, “I can see it! You and Fluttershy, and Sal stay here. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Bucky you come with me. We’re going shopping! We’ll meet back at the castle.” The two group quickly split up and got to work.

Applejack began digging outside the remains with a shovel.

Applejack (sings):
It’s not the things that ya gather ‘round

Fluttershy instructed some critters to dig for her.

Fluttershy (sings):
It’s not how much you own

Pinkie, Rarity, and Bucky came out with lots of shopping bags. Rainbow had so many that she struggled to get them out of the front door. Then they headed back to the castle.

Rarity (sings):
The things that hold the meaning in your life
Are the memories you’ve sown

Pinkie then dumped the contents of her shopping bags. Rarity, wearing her work glasses, picked up some gems and started sewing them together. Applejack then brushed and blew on what looked like some sort of wooden sculpture. Rainbow then pulled a rope through a pulley hanging from above. Rarity monitored the object’s position while Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Sal, and Bucky pulled on the ropes to lift the object to the ceiling. Then Sal, Bucky, and the five ponies admired their completed project and then exchanged smiles with each other.

Everypony (sings):
So we make, so we make, so we make
This castle a home
So we make, so we make
This castle a home
So we make, so we make
This castle a home!

A few minutes later, Twilight, Cody, and Sunset arrived.

“Hello? We’re home!” Twilight announced as she opened a door as Cody, Sunset, and Spike walked in as well. Spike was carrying various items in his claws.

“Welcome home!” the others said as they walked up to the royal couple and Spike. Twilight, Cody, and Sunset began to walk about the castle. They found that the group had supposedly done...very little changes to the decor.

“Oh, I uh...love what you’ve done with the place,” said Twilight in a polite tone, “You did such a good job of...preserving the integrity of the original design.”

“Aw come on!” Spike retorted, especially to Rarity, “It looks exactly the same. Do you know how hard it was to keep them from coming back here?! I never want to see another dust ruffle as long as I live!”

“Easy there, Spike,” said Cody, “Obviously the old saying goes that when something ain’t broke, don’t fix...” Cody blinked, “Did you just say...?”

“Wait,” Twilight interrupted, “Keep us from coming back here?”

“Is there something we need to know?” Sunset asked suspiciously. Rarity laughed nervously.

“It took a teensy bit longer than we thought,” Rarity admitted honestly.

“What really makes a home feel like a home isn’t what it looks like,” said Applejack as she removed and held her stenson hat, “It’s the memories you make when you’re there.” Applejack then looked at the others.

“So we’ve made something that celebrates the memories we’ve made since you both first moved to Ponyville,” said Rarity. Fluttershy and Rainbow then opened the doors to the throne room. Twilight, Cody, and Sunset gasped. There hanging above was the roots of a giant tree and along its roots were various strings of sparkly gemstones hanging from them.

“The ornaments on the chandelier are reminders of all the fun we’ve had together,” said Fluttershy as she and Rainbow hovered before it.

“That one shows your party at the Golden Oak Library welcoming you both to Ponyville!” Pinkie pointed out as she showed the gem with a picture of Pinkie, Twilight, Cody, and Sunset.

“The time we shared donuts after the Grand Galloping Gala!” Fluttershy added as she showed them a gem with all seven of them sharing a table. Cody and Twilight giggled as they remembered their first kiss. They were quickly in awe as their mouths hung open.

“We were hoping that being able to look at your beautiful old memories would inspire you to make new ones,” Rarity continued from behind the royal couple.

“And the best part is, it’s made from the roots of the Golden Oak Library, so you two will never forget where you came from,” Applejack finished as the royal couple stepped toward the new chandelier.

Twilight, Cody, and Sunset examined it quietly for a moment as Rainbow and Fluttershy landed behind them. The silence left the group feeling a little worried, until Twilight, Cody, and Sunet turned around. They each had a warm smile on their face and their eyes brimming with tears.

“It’s exactly what the castle needed,” said Twilight happily.

“We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect,” Cody added in a cracked but happy tone as the two ponies rushed toward the others for a big group hug.

“And we are ready to make new memories here,” Twilight continued.

“We can finally call this castle home,” Sunset finished.

“Then let’s start right now with a new memory cake!” said Pinkie as they pulled away. The pink pony came back with a giant cake on her back with each layer a different color, “Seven layer what’s-that-flavor mystery surprise! These might be chocolate chips or they might be super-spicy black beans!” Pinkie pointed at the brown dots along one of the layers of the cake.

“Let’s go the dining room,” Twilight suggested as she used her magic to open the doors, “It’s a little sparse, but at least there’s a table and chairs.”

Cody, Twilight, and Sunset then froze in place when they looked inside to see the dining room had been given some fancy decor upgrades and decorations. Even the dining table had a beautiful cloth on top, plates of treats, and a unicorn table topper on it.

“Whoa! What happened in here?” said Twilight in surprise, “Last time we checked, this place was empty!”

“I couldn’t help myself!” Rarity confessed, “It was just begging for the personal touch!”

“Truth be told...” Applejack added, “I couldn’t either. Your kitchen might have rustic farm decor, you three.”

“Does that include some old fashion baking pans for pies and cakes?” Cody asked.

“Of course!” Applejack replied as Cody clapped excitedly.

“And there may or may not be some Daring Do posters up in your library,” Rainbow added.

“And some stuffed animals in your bedroom,” Fluttershy continued discreetly to the three of them. Cody, Twilight, and Sunset smiled.

“And we turned one of the empty rooms into a meditation chamber,” Sal finished.

“Give it try when you’re feeling stressed out. I’m sure it will prove useful!” Bucky offered.

“Thanks, Sal and Bucky,” Cody replied.

Just then, R5 came into the dining room, beeping and whistling excitedly. The droid then showed everyone a holographic layout of the castle.

“Good job making a layout of this place, R5,” Cody said.

“Let’s say we have dinner in Canterlot. Our treat for your help,” Sunset suggested.

“Good thinking, ‘cause we’re starvin’,” Applejack replied as they all left the castle.
