Chapter 2

Chapter 2

You stare at the tower of bags that sit in front of you…how the fuck is this soap. “So, what did you buy?”

Rarity proudly pokes her head up as she talks, “Oh I found the most darling collection of cat toys for Opal and I found the cutest dress for Sweetie belle, and don’t get me started on the dresses I found for…”

Rainbow cuts her off with an annoyed sigh, “By the time we get to the train it’s going to be gone! Can we go?”

Rarity snaps herself from her daze, “oh yes, shall we.” She picks the smallest bag from the pile as she trots down the stairs of the castle. Rainbow takes a blue satchel and Fluttershy hoofs a few bags around her. You are left to carry the other bags, about three big satchels and a bright pink handbag.

You wrap the three heavy satchel around your neck and upper body, there not as heavy as you thought but you still have trouble moving as you bend down to get the handbag you can tell It’s filled with the fancy soap as you can smell it from where you stand, smells kind of nice to..… now how do I hold this. You stare at the pink bag trying to figure out how to pick the bag up.

You smile as you come up with a solution, magic. You stare at the bag until it begins to float in the air in front of you. You get proud smile as the bag floats beside you.

By this time the other three ponies are almost out of the castle, Rainbow notices you slacking behind and gives a few flaps of her wings as she comes back to you, “Come on slow poke, I don’t want to be late.”

Your happy smile quickly fades at the sound of her word, don’t say late. The bag next to you burst into a green flame and falls to the ground, “OH crap!”

Rainbow falls over onto the ground laughing, “HA ha ha, Rarity didn’t need that stuff anyways.”

You pick up speed as you try to catch up to the other two ponies. You plan in your head what to say, what bag never saw a bag, I was robbed by pony ninjas…do they have pony ninjas?

Rainbow trots next to you as you make your way closer to the other two ponies, she whispers to you as you near Rarity, “Don’t worry she won’t even notice it.”

You whisper back to her, “looks like you don’t get any fancy soap.”

Rainbow bumps you as you walk and you stumble into a guard pony walking the other direction.

The pony gives you an angry look as he pushes past you, “Watch where you’re going.”

You give an awkward nod as you walk back to Rainbow. She is holding back a laugh as you get next to her.

“Hey Rainbow, I don’t want to go back to jail in the same week ok?”

Rainbow laughs as she walks, “Ya sorry, didn’t know you lost all your balancing skills.”

You mock with her, “What was that? Rainbow’s hair looks dull?” You playfully look around as if someone was talking.

Rainbow looks at her mane, “It’s not dull?” She looks up from her mane in with a confused face, “Wait why do I care, you smell like Twilight.”

You squint your eyes at her comment, “And what’s that?”

Rainbow holds her head up proudly, “Egghead.”

You give a small laugh at her comment, why I have been around ponies too long if I find that funny.

You have caught up with Rarity and Fluttershy at this point which makes your dumb comments to Rainbow stop as Rarity talks, “OH I can’t find my handbag, I could have sworn I put it in this bag.”

You face completely straight as she looks though the bag she hovers in front of her, “Oh my good pair of sunglasses were in there, oh well these will have to do.” She floats out to pairs of sunglasses and looks to Fluttershy, “What do you think summer or spring?”

Fluttershy answers in a low voice, “Oh they're both nice.”

You continue to plan an excuse if she ask you anything, but you’re a little side tracked at the fact you just turned her bag into a fiery soap bag. You bit your lip trying to hold back a laugh as you near the train.

Rarity hooves to the back of the train, “Just put those in that train ok.”

You nod your head as you turn to the other car, as you get closer you hear a voice call from behind you, “And what do you think you’re doing?”

You look to the voice to see Spike crossing his arms and looking at you, “You think I can’t help?”

You chuckle at his comment, “Hi Spike.”

He continues to try to look upset, “You think you can steal my lady?”

Your playful smile fades as you stare at the three foot little dragon…not worth it, “Nope…here you go.” You float the bags off of yourself and onto him, “Good luck Spike.”

Spike is hidden under the bags as they start to move slowly towards the train with low groans.

You walk back to Rainbow and Rarity as the get ready to board the train.

Rarity gives you a hug as she talks, “It’s a shame we have to leave so early, but as Applejack said yesterday.” She clears her throat and tries to copy her accent…unsuccessfully, “We all gots things that need to get done back home.”

Rainbow laughs at the failed try and you smirk at her, “Bye Rarity.”

Rarity boards the train with a flick of her mane.

Rainbow turns to you and rubs her hoof to her neck, “um…I’m not going to hug you…but how long you guys going to stay here?”

You think about it but can’t think about a time frame, you shrug as you answer, “I don’t know.”

Rainbow tries to act cool as she nods her head; she nudges you as she talks, “Don’t get turned into stone ok?”

You give a short laugh at her comment as you silently think, thanks Rainbow now I am going to be stuck in a book as a statue.

“Don’t stay here too long.” She stammers as she talks, “…Cause Ponyville needs Twilight.” She gives you a quick hug as she flies onto the train.
You whisper good bye to her as the door closes. As the train whistles you back up and watch it leave the station.

Spike now stands beside you in a grumpy mood, “I don’t know why I had to stay here, I have been left home before you know.”

You laugh at his comment, “I think Twilight doesn’t want you to burn the house down.”

Spike blows at you, “YA right you’re the only one who burned things.”

You smile at him, “Um, what do we need to do now?”

Spike jumps in the air, “Oh man Twilight needs me for her magic test with Celestia!”

Spike runs down the road as you follow him, “what magic test?”
