Equestria

The next three months were a bit hard for all of the ponies. Maybe Dash changed inside and outside too, but she was still curious about what the others were doing around AJ's farm. Fortunately, Celestia knew a spell, which masked every sign of the 'airport'.
Soon the winter arrived, so they needed to keep the area clean. Twilight found some special gems which could glow enough to clear the runway from the snow, and the Apple family 'ironed out' the field as far as they could. It was still bumpy, but Connor told them that it's no problem.

The final month arrived. The time difference was small enough, so they could make a video contact. It was a beautiful night at the end of November. The Mane 5 (6 - Rainbow Dash), Connor, the three princess, and Shining Armor were waiting for the contact. Unfortunately the camera and the communication monitor were on the opposite side of the synchronizator - than the computer’s side -, so Brian couldn't see Connor. But he told the others that it's no problem...at least he can surprise him too.

Around 10 pm., the camera's little red light turned on, indicating that it has a signal from Earth. They got the video image too, but it wasn't the best.
"Do....Hear....me?" the figure asked.
"Not really." Celestia answered. Some seconds later the image became clearer, but still not clear enough.
"And now?" it was definitively Brian.
"Now the sound is perfect, but the image is still bad." she told him.
"Okay, one sec..." they heard some click, then the image became perfectly clear. "I hope, it's good now."
"Perfect." Celestia smiled.
"That's good. Well, good evening princess. I hope it's not too late for a call."
"Don't worry, you can call us anytime...except Sunday." the others laughed.
"No problem, besides...I'm enjoying a little rest on Sundays too." He winked.
"Yeah, I believe you...so, what can we do for you?" the princess asked.
"Honestly, I just wanted to know how you are. Could you keep this a secret from Dash?"
"Yes, it's a bit hard, but yes. She's not suspecting anything. But about the preparations... I think it's the best, if I let Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor explain everything." She stepped aside and the two unicorns stepped to the machine.
"Hello Brian, good to see you again." Twilight greeted him.
"Nice to 'meet' you again Twilight...long time no see."
"Yeah, for you that's true." she giggled a bit.
"I guess he is your brother, right?" Brian asked and turned to the captain.
"Yes, I am mister. First of all, I want to tell you...your plane it's fantastic. I hope I can see it a bit closer later."
"Don't worry you can. Every one of you."
"So about the preparations...We finished everything we could do for the runway. It has lights like in your world. It's still a bit bumpy, but I hope it's no problem."
"Wow, you're really fast! I'm happy that Dash has lots of wonderful friends like you..." the ponies blushed a bit. "...I guess you don't know, but in my world, we need people on the ground too, who we call Air Traffic Controller. They're helping the pilots to find the runway, and to land on it. So I'll need at least one pony from you to help us about this."
"I guess we can do it, but how?" Twilight asked.
"Don't worry Twilight. We can send some equipment that will help you. You just have to send the runway coordinates."
"Okay, it's on the way." Shining told him, nodding to Connor. He sent the coordinates and nodded back. "We sent it."
"Good. Aaaand...arrived. Hmm...WHAT!? Do I see this right? You made the runway on Sweet Apple Acres?"
"Yeah, ya see right, sugarcube." AJ joined in to the conversation.
"Are you sure Applejack? Because if..."
"Don't worry about that. Mah family’s not really using that region, so no problem."
"Ok, thank you. I'll return the favor somehow."
"Ooh, you don't need to..."
"U-u-uuuh, I WANT to return it, and with this, we. Closed. This. Theme." Brian insisted.
"Okay, okay. You're stubborn as a mule."
"I know." he grinned "Returning to the original theme...How much time do you need to complete the sync?"
"Uuhm...half a month, as I see." Twilight answered.
"Okay. As I know, a week after that you'll have the Hearts Warming Eve...or as we know, Christmas. If it's not a problem, I would like to arrive two days before HWE, in the middle of the night, when most of the ponies are sleeping."
"Yes, you're right. And about the arrival...we'll be very happy to see you...again." Celestia spoke up again.
"Yes, me too. By the way, I have to warn you. Our plane is very noisy, especially at supersonic speed."
"No problem. We'll send a letter to everypony with the informations, and about Rainbow Dash..." the princess turned to Twilight "...we should lock her into her house, and cast a soundproof spell on it."
Brian was a bit surprised. "Strange solution princess...from you."
"Well, sometimes I can be a little bad, don't you think?" she giggled a bit.
"You're the princess; I'm just a poor subject." Brian smiled. "Oh before I forget...we've sent the equipment for the ATC. We also sent manual for them, so you'll know everything, you need." behind him the ponies saw a huge blue light, and then a strange device appeared near them. It was a radar, a radio, and a mobile weather station.
"They've arrived." Shining told them.
"Okay. I guess we talked about everything we needed. So...we'll see each other in 3 weeks." he bid his farewell.
"Good bye." the ponies told him in unison. Then the monitor went black.

"Okay...I guess we can install these things tomorrow, when everypony is full with energy, so...good night, everypony." Shinig Armor spoke up. The others said their goodbyes and headed home.

Earth

'Three weeks for us, one week for them.' I thought.
"Hey, Brian!" Fred ran to me. They made some new modifications on the Concorde. "How did it go?"
"Very well. They have one week, so they'll finish everything. What about the plane?"
"Oh yeah...about her...We have a goods lift on the rear side, which we used to bring up the equipments to the cargo hold, and to the deck. And now...we made a garage from the elevator's engine house."
"Wow, not bad...and what kind of vehicle can fit into it?" I asked him.
"Well for example...a certain blue Navara?"
"Wha-wha-wha-wait...you mean you could make enough space for my pick-up? Into a plane?" he nodded. I coudn't say anything.
"Ookay, what will be next? You'll tell me that the plane in fact is some kind of 'air frigate'?"
"Don't worry. I'm not planning this." we laughed.
"Oh and...something else. I have a good plan about the painting." I was confused a bit.
"Why? What's the problem with the white?"
"Nothing, just too...flashy" and he showed me the plans about the painting. I was almost bursting from laughter.
"Because THIS it not flashy?"

Hi guys!
I know it was just a short chapter, but I don't wanted to write it into the 4th chapter.
