“Are you sure this is gonna be okay?” Ruby asked curiously as I continued driving down the road. Minuette sat in the passenger seat and Cherry Berry sat in 2 back of my jeep entertaining Ruby.

“Yes I’m sure. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen my sister and Sunset. It’s good to visit, especially since you have a cousin and I have a niece now we have more excuses to see each other,” I explained. “Don’t ya wanna see your favorite cousin?”

“She’s her only cousin,” Minuette chimed in with a grin.

“Of course I do!” Ruby shouted and we all winced. “I love Sunset! She’s strong, kind, funny, dependable, tough, she plays toys with me, and is huggable!”

“As accurate as all that is love,” I began. “Please don’t scream in the car when the windows are up. It’s super loud in here.”

“Sorry mom,” Ruby smiled sheepishly. “Are we there yet?”

“Five more minutes dear,” Minuette giggled. “Once we get past this red light we will be there. Your sister lives in such a nice small quiet neighborhood, Berry.”

“I know right?” I agreed.

“Let’s sing the road song!” Ruby exclaimed.

“The what?” Cherry asked with a raised eyebrow.

“It’s from Spongebob,” Ruby explained. “It goes like this I think. Road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road. Let’s all sing the road song I wanna sing it all day long. Road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road, road. Let’s all sing along!” We all fell silent as we looked at her patiently.

“That’s it?” I asked after the moment of silence.

“That’s all I remember,” Ruby admitted sheepishly as we all laughed.

“There’s definitely more than that,” Minuette answered between her laughing. “But that was beautiful Ruby. You’re going places.”

“Of course I’m going places. We’re in the car,” Ruby agreed as I chuckled again.

“Well looks like we’re here. Hopefully she doesn’t care about a surprise visit,” I muttered. Technically she knew we were coming. She just didn’t know when. Lightning Dust was leaning against the wall of my sisters house as we pulled into the driveway.

“Hey Lightning!” Minuette grinned as she got out and waved at the girl as I shut the jeep off and got out. Lightning gave a grin as she jogged up.

“Well this is a surprise,” Lightning said as she high fived us all before fist bumping Ruby. “What are ya guys here for?”

“Visiting the fam and my nieces friends,” I explained with a wink. “Also here to see the Friendship Games. Heard Sunset and the others are taking part. Gotta support my favorite niece after all.”

“Nice. We’re gonna show the Shadowbolts who’s the boss this time!” Lightning grinned wider as she slammed her fist into her open palm. “They don’t stand a chance. When’s the last time I saw yall?”

“After anon a miss got revealed,” Cherry answered as mine and Lightnings faces darkened slightly.

“Yeah that was a shi-” Lightning paused and stared at my eight year daughter. “Screwed up situation. Be careful going inside, it’s chaotic right now.”

“Why?” Minuette asked. “Are the other girls here?”

“Nah it’s just me today. Lyra and Bon Bon are getting the school prepared for the games. Mainly decorating the walls and such. Applejack and Pinkie are busy baking, Rainbow is at the gym. I don’t know what the others are doing but I know for a fact Trixie is getting ready for a magic show,” Lightning replied as she leaned against the car.

“Ooh! Can we go to Trixie’s magic show please mom?” Ruby begged and gave me puppy dog eyes. I melted a bit at the look and sighed.

“Yes love,” I grinned and rubbed her hair. “We can go. Trixie is gonna be happy to have her favorite little assistant back.”

“Yay!” Ruby shouted and jumped around.

“Trixie has a lot of stuff planned. The three haven’t told us what to keep us surprised but it’s gonna be awesome,” Lightning chuckled as she helped get our suitcases out.

“Epic,” I commented as we started walking inside. “Now let’s see what this chaos is you’re talking about.” I opened the door and we all stepped inside, shutting the door gently behind us. Three girls ran past us with the orange skinned girl with purple hair ran past in the lead with a terrified expression.

“What is happening in here?” Cherry muttered as we watched with wide eyes. The orange girl disappeared into a room and looped around, skidding to a stop when she noticed us.

“Who are you all?” She asked warily as she approached Ruby.

“Uh I’m Cheerilees sister. I’m Berry Punch,” I introduced myself. “That’s Cheerilees other sister, Cherry Berry. That’s my girlfriend Minuette and that’s my daughter, Ruby Pinch. Who are you?”

“Scootaloo,” she answered with a raised eyebrow. “I’m Sunset’s sister.”

We all stared at her in stunned silence. I didn’t know what she was talking about but I was gonna find out. Two girls ran into the room, one with lavender hair and a white streak. The other was grey with grey hair and both were giggling.

“Got ya now!” The grey one shouted.

“I don’t know who you are but help us!” The pink girl pointed at Ruby. “Grab her! Scootaloo, we are going to put makeup on you and dress you up and you have no say!”

We all looked at each other in confusion as they grabbed Scootaloos shoulders and started dragging her upstairs.

“Help me strange people!” Scootaloo begged. “Sunset!” Sunset burst into the room and looked around frantically before her eyes fell on the girls dragging Scootaloo away.

“Diamond Tiara! Silver Spoon! What on earth are you two doing?” Sunset demanded as she chased the three up the stairs and disappeared.

“Dressing her up!” One explained.

“Making her look gorgeous!” The other added.

“Kidnapping me!” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“Ruby, go help your cousin. I’m gonna find my sister,” I smiled at my daughter. Ruby nodded and took off up the stairs as we all looked at each other and shrugged as Lightning Dust struggled not to laugh.

Things were kinda weird right now but I’m gonna find out what the hell was going on.
