In the cozy corner of Sci-Twi’s house, the Rainbooms were gathered around a table, textbooks and notebooks sprawled out in front of them. Spike sat at the center, offering advice and encouragement as the girls tackled their assignments.

Pinkie Pie’s pen zipped across her paper at lightning speed. “Done!” she chirped.

But Fluttershy reached over and placed a gentle hand on Pinkie's. “Pinkie, you need to go over your answers carefully. Rushing through won’t help.”

Pinkie grinned sheepishly. “Guess you’re right. I don’t wanna hand in a bunch of silly mistakes.”

Meanwhile, Rarity and Sci-Twi sat side by side, their heads bent over a complicated math problem. They traded pointers, with Sci-Twi explaining the theory and Rarity figuring out how to solve it with elegance and precision.

Sunset, leaning back in her chair with her feet up on the table, tapped away at a video game on her phone. Having finished her homework early, she’d been happy to offer help to anyone who needed it.

Rainbow, on the other hand, was looking far less enthusiastic. She was slumped over her books, staring at the mountain of assignments in front of her with an exasperated frown. “How did I end up with so much more homework than everyone else?”

Applejack gave her a reassuring pat on the back. “The sooner you finish, the more time we’ll have to hang out later.”

With a reluctant sigh, Rainbow got back to work, muttering to herself about the unfairness of it all.

Finally, as the minutes ticked by, the girls (minus Rainbow) completed their assignments. Sci-Twi closed her last book with a satisfied smile, only to gasp when she noticed a soft, magical glow coming from the dragon scale she had in her closet.

“Girls, look! The dragons are calling us!” Sci-Twi exclaimed.

Rainbow groaned, still buried in her work. “Oh, come on! I’m not even done yet.”

Sunset, having turned off her game, smiled at her friend. “You can finish it later, Rainbow. Our dragon friends need us. This could be important!”

With that, Spike trotted over, wagging his tail excitedly as they all headed to Sci-Twi's room, pulled out their dragon badges. Each badge shimmered with magic as they all held onto Sci-Twi’s glowing scale.

Together, they recited the chant in unison. “I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons, in a land apart!”

The dragons on Sci-Twi’s wall suddenly sprang to life, swirling around them in colorful trails of magic. In a flash, they’re on their way for another adventure. One trip down the normal rainbow slide route and they’re on their way.

Over at Lily’s house, the Cutie Mark Crusaders—Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo—were having a fun afternoon hanging out with their friend Lily Pad. It had been a quiet day,and they were all babysitting Pound and Pumpkin Cake. Mr and Mrs Cake were busy at the moment, so they know they can trust the CMCs to babysit again. The trio and the twins came over to Lily’s house so their friend could give them a helping hand.

The group was in Lily’s room, entertaining the twins, when a mysterious light caught Scootaloo’s eye. It was coming from Lily’s closet. “Hey, Lily,” she said, nudging her. “Look over there—your scale is glowing!”

Lily’s eyes widened in surprise. “Well, so it is!”

“It means we’re in for another Dragon Land adventure,” Apple Bloom grinned, already pulling her dragon badge from her pocket.

Without missing a beat, the girls put on their dragon badges. Lily grabbed her scale from the closet. They gently picked up Pound and Pumpkin, making sure the babies were comfortable and held the glowing scale together.

As one, they recited the magical chant: “I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with Dragons, in a land apart!”

In an instant, a swirl of magic surrounded them and they found themselves floating in the normal void of pink sky and white clouds. The familiar hum of the mystical toy train rollercoaster reached their ears and a series of colorful, fantastical carts zoomed up under them as gravity restored itself and they all landed in the seats.

Lily paused, watching as the ribbon of her badge wrap around her, forming really tight seatbelts. “Are these… really necessary?” she asked, arching an eyebrow as she struggled to give herself more room to no avail. “This ride is for babies!”

Scootaloo shrugged. “Don’t worry—you’ll get used to it. These belts are always a tight fit.”

Sweetie Belle nodded. “And trust us, it’s worth it.”

Once everyone was buckled up with the twins squealing happily from their snug seats, the toy train/rollercoaster lurched forward, taking them on a thrilling ride up, down and through loops of shimmering rainbow light. Lily clutched the side of her cart, her knuckles white, as she adjusted to the tight fit and the unexpected twists and turns. The twins were laughing while the CMCs are chill through the experience. It took a while until they reached the ball of white light in front of them…

Over at Trixie’s house, Diamond Tiara stood by with a bored expression as Trixie swung her new magical staff around, the dragon head-shaped tip conjuring colorful sparkles and flashing lights. Trixie’s eyes sparkled with delight as she created more elaborate tricks—a shimmering mist shaped like a dragon, glowing flowers blooming in midair—but Diamond just stifled a yawn.

Trixie, noticing this, shot Diamond a hurt look. “The Great and Powerful Trixie does not appreciate yawns during her most magical performance!”

Diamond sighed. “It’s just… aren’t you a little old for party tricks?”

Before Trixie could respond, a soft glow emanated from her staff. A familiar, mystical voice spoke out, “Trixie Lulamoon, it’s time for another Dragon Land adventure.”

Trixie’s face lit up, her offense forgotten. “Now this will be fun!” She reached for her dragon badge, putting it on as she’s making swift moves of a magician as she does so.

Diamond furrowed her brow as she put her badge on. “Who was that? What’s going on?”

“Patience, Diamond,” Trixie smirked. “You’ll see when we get there.”

The two huddled together and with a dramatic flourish, Trixie raised her staff. “Dragons, dragons, come alive! Spin us right round and take us to Dragon Land!”

As Trixie twirls around, the magic of the staff spilled out and dragons on her wall swirl around them like a glittery whirlwind. They shrank into glowing orbs of light, spinning around in the whirlwind until it all disappeared in a flash.

In the next instant, the orbs burst apart, releasing Trixie and Diamond into an endless heaven of clear blue sky and a golden sun where they floated, light as feathers, above a field of sparkling diamonds. Suddenly, the ground below shifted as some of the diamonds rose up, forming a giant, glittering board beneath them which they landed on when gravity suddenly came back. A wave of rainbow light surged up from behind, carrying them forward like they were surfing.

“Now this is magic!” Trixie shouted, delighted as her hair whipped in the wind. She spread her arms out, balancing with ease as they sped across the radiant landscape. She was already brainstorming how she could recreate this in her next performance.

Diamond clung to the board, her knuckles white. “Are you sure we’re safe on this thing?”

“Oh, relax, Diamond! Just let the magic take you,” Trixie replied, her face glowing with exhilaration as they sped on. Diamond managed a weak smile, gripping the board tighter but beginning to feel a spark of excitement, carried along by Trixie’s enthusiasm.

This adventure was just getting started and Diamond Tiara was left speechless for once. They eventually made it to a wall of white light in front of them…

In the School in the Sky, Lorca, Cassie, Ord, Zak and Wheezie, alongside Cassie’s siblings, Kiki and Finn, were trying to play with each other, until Cassie told Kiki and Finn to play quietly.

“Kiki, Finn, you must be quiet.” Cassie ordered, but they just kept continuing to play loudly. “Sorry, Quetzal.” She apologized to Quetzal.

"What's the problem, Cassie?" Quetzal asked.

“I think they're tired of playing with their toys.” Cassie said, as she looked at them, until suddenly the sparkles started to form into the Rainbooms, the CMCs, Spike, Lily Pad, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Pie. Kiki and Finn are joyful to see them again as they hug them.

“Hey hey hey, guess who’s back!” Spike said.

"Hola, Rainbooms, the CMCs, Spike, Lily Pad, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Pie." greeted Quetzal.

“Wait! Where’s Trixie?” Lorca asked in concern.

Just like that, a rift of magic dust opened in front of the group and out came Trixie and Diamond Tiara! Diamond was shaking from all that surfing while Trixie enjoyed it.

"Here we are! Making our fantastic entrance!" Trixie cheered, letting her staff sprinkle out magic sparkles that rained on Diamond.

“Let’s never do that again!” Diamond complained, shaking some sparkles off her hair and clothes.

“Oh, that’s just Trixie’s way to get here to Dragon Land with her new staff.” Lorca explained.

“Lorca!” Trixie exclaimed happily as she approached the wheelchair-bound dragon and they performed the secret handshake they secretly made together from the time they first met.

“Who is that?” Diamond asked in curiosity.

“Oh, that’s my best friend, Lorca.” Trixie explained as Lorca waves at Diamond.

“Nice to meet you, Diamond.” Lorca said.

“Uh, hi.” Diamond waved nervously.

“Now that everyone is here, perhaps now would be a good time for Kiki and Finn to hear a story they would enjoy.” Quetzal said.

“I think that’s a great idea!” Sunset responded. “Story time always works.”

“Hey, I was thinking of Fairy tales… from Mother Goose.” Sci-Twi said.

“I love Jack and the Beanstalk. I especially love the part when Jack'’s magic beans grow into a giant beanstalk and he climbs up and there's the giant and there are so many beans to eat. Oh, oh, oh, I could tell them the story.” Ord explained.

“I think you just did.” Scootaloo smirked.

“Yeah. We all know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk back when we were kids.” Sci-Twi said.

“Back in my home, we always have Equestrian Fairy Tales.” Sunset responded. “Besides, I never heard of Jack and the Beanstalk back in Equestria.”

“And, it’s SO… AWESOME!!!!!!!” Rainbow Dash said in glee. “This inspired me to do these things, like sports and other awesome things!”

“I'’ll tell them the story Goldilocks.I know they like that one a lot.” Cassie responded.

“Me too.” Apple Bloom said.

“Ah knew you’d say that.” Applejack said as she ruffled her sister's hair and bow.

“Kiki, Finn? Do you want to hear about Goldilocks and the Three Bears?” asked Cassie.

Kiki and Finn responded happily, wanting them to hear the story of Goldilocks and the three Bears.

“Oh, they're so cute.” Fluttershy cooed.

“REALLY SOOOOO CUTE!!!!” Pinkie said.

This made Pound and Pumpkin want to listen to the story too, so, Sci-Twi said; “I think Pound and Pumpkin want to listen to the story, too.”

“Be sure to start with, ‘Once upon a time.’ That's how Lots of stories start.” Ord reminded Cassie.

“Okay. Well, once upon a time, there was a little girl with blonde pigtails, called Goldilocks. She was lost in the woods and very hungry, when she saw a cute little house.” Cassie explained, but before she could continue telling the story, Kiki and Finn started to fight each other which made Cassie embarrassed.

“I guess they wanted to tell the story in a book. In a MAGIC book.” Diamond responded.

“Besides, we’ve been into Quetzal’s Magic Pop-Up Book before.” Sweetie responded.

“Didn't you tell me you once went inside Quetzal'’s Pop-Up Book?” Lorca asked.

“Uh-huh, we all took turns making up our own story.” Zak responded.

“Loved it. It was so much fun.” Wheezie said.

“It was the chance of our lifetime.” Sunset said.

“A magic pop-up book?!” Trixie responded. “There’s a pop-up book created from magic?”

“Yup!” Sunset responded.

“Whoa… I wanna try this book out!” Lily said in excitement.

“What if we take Kiki, Finn, Pound and Pumpkin into the pop-up book to visit the Three Bears’ cottage?” Lorca asked.

“Great idea, Lorca.” agreed Sci-Twi. “Let's ask Quetzal.”

“Ask me what?” asked Quetzal.

“May we take Kiki and Finn with us into the pop-up book?” asked Fluttershy.

“So they can actually meet Goldilocks and the Three Bears?” Cassie asked.

“Plus some other fairytale characters?” Scootaloo asked.

“It’s my first time seeing fairy tale characters, cause’ back in Equestria, we’d have Equestrian Fairy Tales back in Magic School.” Sunset responded.

“Hmm, I don't see why not." Quetzal replied.

“ALRIGHT!” Everyone cheered as Quetzal grabbed his Magic Pop-Up Book which shows a castle on the cover.

“Whoa! Trixie likes it already!” Trixie said, looking at the glow of the book.

“This is gonna be awesome!” Rainbow said.

“Now remember, niños, all you have to do is say, ‘I imagine,’ and whatever you say will appear.” Quetzal reminded the others. “Who wants to say it first?” he asked.

“I think it should be Cassie.” Fluttershy said.

“I’m with her.” Sci-Twi agreed.

“Okay. I imagine we're in Quetzal's pop-up book.” narrated Cassie as the whole group started to get sucked in the book, while Trixie freaked out as she was being sucked in with them.

“WHOA!!!!!!” she cried.

“Have fun, niños. I'll be watching.” Quetzal said.

Inside the book, the gang flew through the portal of books. Trixie was freaking out, Lily was flying freely (pretending that she’s a superhero) and the Cake Twins were giggling. It was all while the Rainbooms, Spike, the CMCs, Diamond and the dragons are all chill, considering that they have been through that before.

“WHOA!!!!! SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN!!!!!” Trixie shouted in panic as she flailed around wildly.

“Whee! I’m like a superhero now!” Lily cheered.

The cake twins just giggled in happiness.

Eventually, they arrived in the white void, similar to that of The Construct from the Matrix trilogy.

“Wow.” Lorca exclaimed.

“This is amazing!” Lily exclaimed, clearly happy.

“Cool, huh?” Scootaloo asked.

“Are we dead?” Trixie asked.

“No, Trixie, we’re NOT dead.” Sunset said.

“This is the Magic Pop-Up Book, we can imagine anything, anything we want, fun, games, adventures, etc..” Sci-Twi explained.

“That’s a relief. Cause Trixie felt like she almost died. So, right now, we’re inside a magic book?” Trixie said.

“It’s a good thing you’re alive.” Sunset said.

“But where's the Three Bears' house?” Lorca asked

“…and Goldilocks?” Wheezie continued.

“Yeah. We have to imagine them, like Quetzal said.” Zak explained.

“He’s right.” Spike said. “It’s the only way to do it.”

“I'll do it. I imagine we're inside the house of the Three Bears.” Fluttershy narrates as the white void becomes the house of the Three Bears.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (told by the Rainbooms, the CMCs, Spike, Lily Pad, Diamond Tiara, Trixie, Ord, Cassie, Zak, Wheezie and Lorca)

“Amazing.” Lorca exclaimed in awe.

“Unbelievable.” Trixie exclaimed.

“Whoa… That is amazing.” Lily said.

“It sure is going to feel good revisiting that story, too.” Diamond said in glee and excitement.

Kiki, Finn, Pumpkin and Pound laughed in excitement as they were inside the home of the three bears, jumping for joy.

“Look, the bears have three different sizes of everything.” Ord said.

“Yeah… these 3 fit those animals.” Spike said.

“There'’s the three chairs.” Wheezie said as she pointed at the chairs

“…and the three bowls. Scootaloo continued.

“…and there’s…” Pinkie said as she pointed to the girl with blonde hair, revealing to be…

“…Goldilocks.” Wheezie continued.

“Hello, I'm Wheezie and this is Zak.” Wheezie introduced herself.

“That’s Ord, Lorca, Cassie, the Rainbooms, the CMCs, Spike, Diamond Tiara, Trixie, Lily Pad, Pound Cake, Kiki, Finn and this is Pumpkin Pie.” Zak introduced, pointing to each of them.

“Hi.” Goldilocks said, feeling all glum.

“What's the matter, Goldilocks?” Fluttershy asked, seeing Goldilocks looking sad.

“Yeah, why the long face?” asked Pinkie.

“I b-b-bumped into the dining room table and spilled all the porridge.” Goldilocks said as she started to cry.

“Oh, dear. That is sad, darling.” Rarity said in shock, holding her hand up to her face like a drama queen.

“All three bowls?” Spike asked.

“Yes. I cleaned up the mess, but now there's no porridge left to eat.” Goldilocks said as she explained as she grabbed the empty bowl “What am I going to do?” she asked.

“Yeah, what is she gonna do…?” Trixie asked. “Trixie’s had accidents before and did clean up after the accident.”

“Besides, I had a past like this before, but now, I've changed.” Sunset explained.

“Who says we have to tell the story of Goldilocks the same old way? We're in Quetzal’s book, remember? We can tell it our own way.” Lorca said.

“Oh, yeah! I like the sound of that! “ Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

“Now that’s the spirit, Lorca!” Spike cheered.

“So, what can we imagine?” Sci-Twi asked.

“Then we can imagine more porridge!” Ord explained.

“Porridge? Why not something even yummier like… Pizza.” Rainbow said.

“Plus, Punch and Soda!” Pinkie said.

“You read my mind!” Rainbow said.

“Ooh, I love pizza.” Ord explained. “I imagine a giant mushroom pizza,” he narrates as the pizza box appears.

“I mean three. I imagine a large for Papa Bear, a medium for Mama Bear and a small for Baby Bear.” Ord narrates as Pinkie and Golidlocks laughed.

“Wait a minute. What if they like pineapple pizza like me?” Wheezie asked.

“Extra cheese.” Lily Pad said.

“Whole wheat crust.” Zak said.

“Vegetarian.” Fluttershy said.

“Deep dish.” Scootaloo said.

“Spinach.” Cassie said.

“Apples!” Apple Bloom said.

“Sun-dried tomatoes." Lorca said.

“Hawaiian.” Sweetie said.

“Supreme!” Sunset said.

“Pepperoni and Pineapple,” Sci-Twi asked.

“BLT.” Diamond said.

“Chicken.” Ord said.

“Jalapeno.” Rainbow said.

“Fruit,” Trixie said.

“Margarita” Rarity said.

“Chocolate frosting!” Pinkie exclaimed as everyone looked at her with weirded-out looks. “What? It never hurts to make pizza sweet.”

“I imagine Soda, Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta (in different flavors plus the Orange Fanta), Sunkist, Starry, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Mountain Dew,” Rainbow Dash narrates.

“I’d imagine iced tea and Ginger Ale." Rarity narrates.

“Plus, I’d imagine fruit punch!” Pinkie narrates.

“Okay, okay, stop. There’s certainly enough for the Three Bears.” Goldilocks laughed.

“Look at all the pizza.” Ord said as he opened the box.

“Plus the drinks.” Spike said.

“It all looks so delicious.” Goldilocks said.

“Here, try some of Papa Bear’s.” Pinkie said as Goldilocks does just that while Pumpkin, Pound, Kiki and Finn were laughing because of the pizzas.

“This one's too hot.” Goldilocks said as she ate the pizza.

“Oooh!” I’ll eat it!” Spike said, as he nabbed the hot pizza and ate it.

“Try a piece of Mama Bear’s.” Lorca said, as Golidlocks ate the pizza.

“This one's too cold.” Goldilocks said, shivering from the feel and taste in her mouth.

“Oooh!” I’ll eat it!” Spike said, as he nabbed the cold pizza and ate it as well.

“Try Baby Bear’s.” the CMCs said in unison as Goldilocks does just that

“Yum. This one is just right.” Goldilocks said as she ate it. “Anyone else want some?” she asked as everyone started digging in.

A couple moments later, everyone had finished their lunch and were full.

“I’m full.” Zak said

“Me too.” agreed Wheezie.

“I think I’m gonna burst.” Scootaloo groaned.

“We should stop eating. We don’t wanna spoil our dinner.” Apple Bloom said.

“What should we do with all these extra pizzas?” Cassie asked.

“We could imagine them going away.” Zak suggested.

“That would be a waste.” Wheezie said.

“Trixie agrees with you, Wheezie. We need to save food for the others.” Trixie said.

“We could give the rest to other fairy tale characters who like pizza.” Lorca said.

“Like who?” asked Goldilocks.

“Like the Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe.” Cassie replied.

"She had so many children she didn't know what to do." Fluttershy said.

“Good idea. I bet all those kids can eat a lot of pizza.” Spike exclaimed, loving the idea.

“That sounds wonderful.” Goldilocks said.

“Then let’s get going!” Pinkie said.

The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe (told by Sci-Twi, Pinkie, Wheezie, Fluttershy and Sunset)

A few moments later, the others have arrived at the Shoe House where the Old Lady lived, to deliver the pizza.

“Oh, my. More children?” The Old Lady asked.

“We just came to give you these pizzas.” Sci-Twi explained as she gave them the pizza boxes.

“Okay, that’s $122.50.” Sunset said, as she gave her the bill.

“Thank you. The children love pizza.” The Old Lady said in a happy manner as she gave her the money. (She is a rich millionaire.)

“They can have a party.” Wheezie suggests.

“I haven't had a chance to plan one. Oh, you know me. I'm so busy, I don't know what to do." the Old Lady said as she paid the bill.

“Did someone say “party”? Then you’ve come to the right place!” Pinkie said. “I know some Party tips and I know a great DJ and comedian and some guys who know how to make parties fun. Their names is Party Favor and Cheese Sandwich! I also know a person who knows how to make the best desserts in Canterlot City and her name is Sugar Belle. She’s Big Mac’s girlfriend and friends of Night Glider and Double Diamond!”

“Thanks.” The Old Lady said.

“Gee, Goldilocks, maybe you can babysit for her,” requested Fluttershy.

“You’d make a great babysitter.” Sunset replied.

“I'd love to.” Goldilocks said as they laughed.

Suddenly, The Cake twins, Kiki and Finn were playing with the shoelaces from the house.

“I think it's time for Kiki and Finn to visit another story.” Scootaloo said.

“Yeah. Don’t forget the cake twins.” Apple Bloom said.

“Which one?” asked Lorca.

“Oh, I know. I imagine Jack and the Beanstalk.” Ord said.

“You read my mind!” Rainbow Dash said in glee.

With that, it's off to another fairy tale for the group. Everything changed from the Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe to Jack and the Beanstalk. The CMCs, Trixie, Lily Pad and Applejack were loving the setting already.

Jack and the Beanstalk (told by Trixie, the CMCs, Rarity, Applejack, Rarity, Lorca, Cassie, Zak, Wheezie and Ord)

“Woah! This is amazing!” the CMCs cheered in unison.

“Trixie never thought she would revisit this story!” Trixie exclaimed as Lily was silently taking in the story’s setting.

“Ah. The fresh breeze of the farm.” Applejack sighed in happiness. It wasn’t long until they saw a boy in green sitting on a log who was sighing in sadness.

“Oh, dear. Something’s wrong with this boy.” Rarity exclaimed, worried.

“It’s Jack. We’re in Jack and the Beanstalk.” Cassie explained as everyone approached the sad boy.

“Jack?” Ord said.

“Yes?” Jack replied, sadly. “Do I know you?”

“No, but we know you. I’m Ord and these are my friends.” Ord replied, pointing to the group.

“Hey. Where's your beanstalk?” Apple Bloom asked, concerned.

“Why do you look so sad?” Sweetie Belle asked, feeling sorry for the boy.

“Well, there isn't one.” Jack answered.

“Didn’t you trade the cow for some magic beans?” Ord asked.

“Yes, but the beans fell out of a hole in my pocket and I don’t know where they are.” Jack replied, showing a hole in his pocket.

“Oh, no! How awful, darling!” Rarity exclaimed dramatically.

“Now the Cake twins, Kiki and Finn can’t climb the beanstalk to meet the giant.” Fluttershy said, sadly.

“Jack can't show Kiki and Finn the goose that lays golden eggs.” Ord continued.

“...and I will have nothing to take home to my mother to buy food.” Jack finishes as Kiki, Finn and the Cake twins are feeling even more sorry for the boy.

“What are we going to do?” Cassie asked.

“Where can we find golden eggs for Jack'’s mother?” Lorca asked.

It took a while for everyone to think of a story. Trixie suddenly has an idea.

“How about King Midas?” Trixie asked. “Everything he touched turned to gold.”

“Great idea, Trixie!” Lorca cheered as Trixie clears her throat.

“Trixie imagines King Midas.” Trixie narrates as everything changes into a large castle.

The Golden Touch (told by The Rainbooms, Spike, the CMCs, Diamond Tiara, Trixie, Lily Pad, Cassie, Ord, Zak, Wheezie and Lorca)

“Wow! You sure know fairy tales!” Lorca said.

“Well, what can I say? Trixie loves magic and she knows these stories use those elements to make them complete.” Trixie explained as she took a bow.

However, something was wrong. They don’t see any golden eggs!

“I don't see any gold.” Lorca spoke.

“Allow me. I imagine all of the things King Midas turned to gold.” Wheezie narrates. It worked when the king turned his side table into gold with a touch.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!” Diamond cheered.

“Hear ye, hear ye. I’m making a proclamation here. If anyone can make me happy, I will reward that person with gold.” King Midas announced.

“Ooh, gimme gimme!” Diamond begged before Spike stopped her.

“Whoa! You heard the king. We need to make him happy. If we take the gold now, it wouldn’t be fair.” Spike explained.

“You’re right.” Diamond replied with a sigh.

“With all this gold, how come you're not happy?” Sunset asked in concern.

“Look at me. I can't eat. I can't hug my daughter. I touch something… and poof, it turns to gold.” the King answered, showing what he means by touching his lamp, which turned into gold.

“Oh, my.” Rarity shuddered.

“Ever try to blow your nose into a gold tissue? Not comfy.” the King explained more

“Careful, don’t let the king touch you.” Cassie warned, worried about everyone and what would happen to them if they turned into gold.

“If we help you, will you help Jack?” Lorca asked as he wheeled in front of the king.

“Jack? Jack who?” the King asked in confusion

“Me, Your Majesty. My mother has no money for food.” Jack explained.

“Of course, I’ll even make it a proclamation. Hear ye, hear ye. I proclaim that if Jack and his friends can stop me from turning everything into gold, I will be able to help Jack.” the King announced.

“What are you thinking, Lorca?” Trixie asked as she huddled with Lorca trying to think of an idea. It wasn’t long until Lorca got an idea.

“I imagine… King Midas has a green thumb instead of the golden touch.” Lorca narrates as the king’s thumb turns green indeed!

“A green thumb comes from an expression. If someone is good with plants, you say they have a green thumb.” Sci-Twi explained.

The King touched his vase with his green thumb and flowers grew upon touch! He sure likes his new powers!

“Very smart, Lorca! Great job, my friend!” Trixie cheered as she hugged her red dragon friend.

“Aw, shucks!” Lorca replied as he giggled.

“Now will you give Jack some gold?” Fluttershy asked.

“No.” The King replied.

“But you promised?” Sweetie Belle complained.

“I’m giving Jack something better than gold. Here, plant this corn and poof. It'll grow like a weed. You’ll never go hungry again and the corn you don't eat, you can sell for gold.” The King explained, handing his sack of corn to Jack.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Jack said.

“Thank you, Lorca. Finally, I can eat. Hm, what should I have for my first meal?” the King said.

“How about pizza?” Rainbow asked.

“Pizza? Is it tasty?” the King asked in curiosity.

“It’s the tastiest.” Rainbow answered, her hunger clearly showing.

“And if you have pizza, Your Majesty, well, you just have to have a party.” Pinkie cheered.

“I love it. I proclaim that whenever people gather for fun and pizza including some drinks and other food, it shall be known as a pizza party. I’ll start preparing at once.” the King cheered.

“Uh, back in our world, sometimes we have a pizza party, with some drinks, other foods and all that.” Sunset explained.

“No need, Your Majesty. I imagine a party here with all our new friends. I imagine party decorations and lots more pizza, plus the drinks and other foods.” Pinkie narrates as everything for the party has magically been set up with the fairy tale characters they met earlier appearing as well!

“Oh, my, my. What is this?” the King exclaimed.

“King Midas, meet the Little Old Lady Who Lives in the Shoe and Goldilocks.” Sunset explained.

“Well, any friends of yours are friends of mine.” King Midas replied.

“Let's party!” Pinkie shouts in excitement. “But first, I imagine, many guests such as our friends from Canterlot High and other friends, such as Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Party Favor, Cheese Sandwich, Sugar Belle and also, including my friend, Vinyl Scratch!!!!” With that, everyone Pinkie imagined had suddenly appeared. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were surprised by where they are now, including Princess Twilight and Spike from Equestria. Silver Spoon sees Diamond Tiara and hugs her, seeing that she’s having fun. Party Favor, Cheese Sandwich, Sugar Belle and all the students of Canterlot High felt an adrenaline rush from whatever took them to King Midas’ castle.

“Sunset, Girls?! Where are we?” Principal Celestia asked in confusion.

“At that moment, I was in my office and the next thing I knew I was in a castle in the style of King Midas, pulled by magic.” Vice Principal Luna explained.

“Okay, Spike, where are we?” Princess Twilight said. “Sunset! And it’s Other Me!”

“And it's the other me from Canterlot City, too!” Equestria Spike said. “But they’re with dragons?! Since I’m a dragon in Equestria and I’m a dog in Canterlot City, then, why aren’t those dragons turned into dogs? Besides, Ember’s gonna love this one, including Smolder and Garble.

“It sure is great to see you all again!” Vinyl cheered as she saw her human and dragon friends.

“Diamond! I have been so worried about you!” Silver cheered as she hugged her BFF. The hug didn’t last long when Silver looked at her BFF’s dragon friends. “Whoa! Uh, who are they?” she asked in fright.

“Long story.” Diamond replied with a giggle.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s party!” Pinkie, Cheese Sandwich, Party Favor, Vinyl and Sugar Belle cheered in unison. With that, everyone is having a good time!

• Pinkie, Pound, Pumpkin, Kiki, Finn and Cassie are hanging out with the Little Old Lady Who Lives in the Shoe.
• Sci-Twi, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Lily Pad, Principal Celestia, the CMCs, Spike, Lorca and Trixie are watching King Midas demonstrate his new powers.
• Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Ord, Zak and Wheezie were hanging out with Goldilocks, enjoying some spare porridge the bears had given her.
• Vinyl Scratch is at her DJ table providing music.
• Cheese Sandwich, Vice Principal Luna, Party Favor, Sugar Belle, Princess Twilight, Equestria Spike and the students of CHS were enjoying the vibe and were dancing, just like in the 2013 Fall Formal.

After the party, Finn, Kiki and the Cake twins got tired. That means they need a nap and it also means that the story’s over.

“I think it's time we took Kiki and Finn back for their nap.” Cassie explained.

“Yeah. they need some rest.” Sunset said.

“Same with my twin siblings.” Pinkie said, holding the babies in her arms gently..

“We should get going.” Sci-Twi said.

“Yeah, we’d better get going.” Dog Spike said.

“Wait! How about we bring everyone back to meet Quetzal?” Sunset asked.

“I love that idea! Let’s go. I imagine the School in the Sky.” Lily narrates as the girls, dog Spike, their dragon friends, everyone from Canterlot High, Vinyl, Princess Twilight, Equestria Spike, Cheese and the party gang were teleported out of the story and back to the School in the Sky.

“So, where are we now?” Principal Celestia asked, confused.

“We’re in some kind of classroom for preschoolers.” Vice Principal Luna replied, weirded out as everyone looked at the features, like the cubbies, the small tables, toy chests filled with blocks and stuff like that.

“Well, yeah. This is the School in the Sky.” Sunset said.

“You mean the school is in the sky?” Princess Twilight asked.

“Well, not exactly.” Sci-Twi said, giggling.

“Whoa… This is weird…” Equestria Spike said.

“We’re pretty much transfer students here. We’re allowed to attend classes here, despite us being teens.” Sunset explained.

“I know it sounds a little crazy, but we have to juggle between our normal lives, fighting Equestrian Magic, Canterlot High, the School in the Sky and our adventures we have with our dragon friends, darlings.” Rarity explains as Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna understands.

“I know what that’s like.” Principal Celestia said.

“It’s still weird that you’re transfer students here at preschool in this world.” Vice Principal Luna said, still weirded out.

“Don’t worry, we’re used to it.” Sweetie Belle said.

"There’s someone we’d like you to meet. Meet Quetzal, everyone!” Sunset said.

“Hola, everyone!” Quetzal greeted, happy to see even more friends.

When everyone saw Quetzal, everyone, the faculty including the students from Canterlot High were in awe. Some of them took pictures of him and posted them online through social media. Some were put in the newspaper.

“How was the story, niños?” he asked.

“It sure was awesome!” Scootaloo replied.

“We got to revisit some fairy tales we remembered from when we were young!” Sweetie Belle said as the Rainbooms nodded in agreement.

“We even had a pizza party at King Midas’ castle!” Pinkie explained quietly, knowing that Kiki, Finn and the Cake twins are tired.

“I provided the music for the party of course.” Vinyl said, twirling her disc she used to make music for the party before she put it in her pocket and posed in style.

“It sure sounds like you all had a blast.” Quetzal exclaimed in amazement before the Cake twins yawned.

“Oh, we better get you home for your nap.” Pinkie whispered.

“We’ll teach you all how to get back to our world.” Sunset said. “Just gather everyone around and form groups.” she instructed as everyone does just that.

• The Rainbooms’ group: Princess Twilight, Equestria Spike, the Cake Twins, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.
• The CMCs’ group: half the students of Canterlot High and Dog Spike
• Diamond Tiara and Trixie’s group: Silver Spoon and the other half of the students of Canterlot High.
• Lily Pad’s group: Sugar Belle, Cheese Sandwich and Party Favor.

Vinyl Scratch knows just what to do, since she knows the code rhyme already. “Everyone, hold your hands and repeat after me; ‘I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time’.” she ordered as she sparkled and disappeared, leaving everyone in surprise.

“Where did she go?” Flash asked in surprise.

“We know what to do now. You heard what Vinyl said, let's go home." Sunset said as everyone held hands and recited the code rhyme.

‘I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time." The Rainbooms, the CMCs, Diamond, Trixie, dog Spike, Lily Pad, Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Canterlot High students, Princess Twilight, Equestria Spike and Cheese Sandwich's party gang recited the rhyme in unison and started to sparkle as well.

“No way! Is this real?!” Silver asked in awe.

“Yep, very real.” Diamond replied as everyone disappeared.

There are now four rainbow slides each group takes as they go home! The Cake Twins got soundproof earmuffs on, which was given to them by Pinkie since they are tired and got the toy train rollercoaster all for themselves that's going nice and steady in speed, later picking itself up in speed a tiny bit to catch up with everyone. The seat they're on is a steady crib that never moves, since it always stays in place, like glue. We don't want anything to bother them.

• Slide #1 The Rainbooms, dog Spike, the CMCs and Lily Pad.
• Slide #2: Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna and half the students of Canterlot High (the entire staff and half the students of Canterlot High in general).
• Slide #3: Diamond Tiara, Trixie, the other half of the students of Canterlot High, Princess Twilight, Equestria Spike and Silver Spoon.
• Slide #4: Vinyl Scratch, Party Favor, Cheese Sandwich and Sugar Belle.

"Hold on tight everyone! This is gonna be a bumpy ride!" Sunset yelled as everyone started sliding. All the students of Canterlot High on their own slides were practically screaming like they're on a rollercoaster.

“Now that was a delightful surprise! I must say, Luna, it’s been far too long since we’ve done something so… exhilarating. Perhaps we should consider adding a little more fun like that to our school events!” Principal Celestia said, laughing playfully.

“Yes, yes, but… let’s not make this a regular thing, sister! I much prefer having my feet on solid ground. Though…” Vice Principal Luna replied, trying to keep her composure.

"Whoa, whoa!!!!!!! It’s wilder than the mirror ride!" Princess Twilight screamed in exhilaration. Equestria Spike couldn't agree more. Silver Spoon was going everywhere, nearly slipping off the slide and was clearly becoming dazed. “Can somebody keep me still?!” Silver Spoon screamed.

“Get used to it, Silver!” Diamond yells from the slide she’s on with the Rainbooms and the gang.

"Now that’s something you’d never see everyday!” Cheese Sandwich exclaimed as Vinyl Scratch put her headphones on and rocked out on some beats, Sugar Belle is loving the speed and was thinking she could make something out of this (a rainbow cake) and Party Favor was conjuring up balloon animals all the way down.

Hours after they got home, The Rainbooms and the gang held a Zoom meeting that the entire school faculty was invited to. All the students of Canterlot High and Cheese and the party gang are there, too.

“How was your day, everyone?” Sunset asked as the Rainbooms, the CMCs and dog Spike nodded in unison.

“It was exhilarating! I wish I could’ve brought my camera with me.” Photo Finish replied.

“Maybe next time, you can bring it and take some pictures there,” Lyra said.

“…as long as you don’t get carried away!” Bon Bon finished as she and Lyra giggled.

“It sure was magical indeed! I never knew you would have such an adventure like that, Diamond!” Silver replied, talking to Diamond via her webcam.

“Aw, thanks. We should have you come with us to Dragon Land more often!” Diamond agreed as she and Silver laughed.

“It sure was totes fun!” Cherry Crash said.

“Whoa, there! Let’s not get too carried away, sugarcubes. How about this: we go to Dragon Land a few people at a time. That way, it won’t get too overwhelming for our dragon friends.” Applejack explained.

“Yeah, good point.” Principal Celestia said before a flash of rainbow light formed and swirled around everyone sans The Rainbooms, dog Spike, the CMCs, Lily Pad, Trixie, Diamond and Vinyl.

“Look, everyone! We’re glowing!” Octavia yelled.

“Kaliedoscope!” Sweet Leaf yelled in excitement!

Once the light dimmed, the principals, the Canterlot High students and the party gang got their own Dragon Badges. Their rooms even got the same enchantment as the Rainbooms and the gang’s rooms.

“Whoa! What are these?” Flash Sentry asked in surprise as he looked at his new necklace (a medallion of a blue crown held with a yellow ribbon.

“They are your dragon badges, y’all.” Apple Bloom replied.

“Unreal!” Micro Chips exclaimed.

“This is amazing!” Snips and Snails yelled in unison.

“Your rooms also have been enchanted with dragon magic and look in your closets!” Diamond said as everyone does just that.

Everyone sure was surprised that they got their own Dragon Scales now.

“Wow! This is something you don’t see everyday indeed!” Principal Celestia said in awe.

“We’ll tell you more later, darlings. Next time we go if you want to come with us, we’ll teach you the code rhyme to do so another day. For now, it’s about time we end this meeting and settle down for the night. Okay?” Rarity asked.

“Oh, I can’t wait to return!” Silver screamed in excitement before she turned her camera off.

“I hope they have muffins there!” Derpy said, showing her love of muffins before she turned her camera off.

“Good night!” everyone replied in unison as the meeting ended.

Later that night, Sunset got her journal out and started writing to Princess Twilight.

Dear Princess Twilight, I hope you had fun meeting our friends in Dragon Land. I have learned that friendship can expand outside dimensions. I’ll keep in touch with you in case you write to me when you and your Spike want to come on the next Dragon Land adventure. Until then, peace out.

• Sunset Shimmer.

Over in Equestria, Princess Twilight got the note and she was glad about meeting new friends indeed.

“Aw, thanks. You sure are the best, Sunset!” Princess Twilight said in glee.

“I think we better settle down now. You have another day of royalty waiting for us tomorrow.” Dragon Spike said, yawning as he and Princess Twilight settled down for the next and went to sleep.

The End

Author's Note

The part where everyone from Canterlot High, Cheese Sandwich and the party gang, Princess Twilight and Equestria Spike showed up, met the girls' dragon friends and partied at King Midas' castle is a reference of one part of Space Jam: A New Legacy, where everyone got pulled into the game.
