Sci-Twi immediately went home to his house and climbed into bed.
Spike, his pet dog, was on the floor next to Sci-Twi's bed. Spike slept on a pile of newspapers just in case he had an accident. He wasn't house-trained yet.
Sci-Twi set his alarm clock for the crack of dawn. He tried to go to sleep, but he was so excited, it wasn't easy. He stared at his clock. He had hours to go before dawn.
"Hurry up!" he said to the alarm clock. "Go faster!"
The alarm clock paid no attention and kept on slowly ticking.
Sci-Twi looked out his window. It was still dark. "Come on, crack of dawn—^start cracking!"
Just then Sunset Shimmer, Sci-Twi's best friend, popped his head in the bedroom window. "Hiya, Sci-Twi! I heard you were going to the summer camp with Amtrak."
"I am. And I'm trying to go to sleep!" replied Sci-Twi.
"I have to ask you a very important question," said Sunset as he climbed through the window. "Is Amtrak safe from camping?"
"There are no aliens," said Sci-Twi. "Just ask Amtrak . . . Little Miss Smarty-pants Scientist."
"Oh, really?" said Sunset as he held up a brown paper bag. "Well, then I guess you won't be needing this can of Mr. Funny Ha-Ha's Alien Repellent Spray!"
"Mr. Funny Ha-Ha's Alien Repellent Spray!" cried Sci-Twi, grabbing the bag. "Let me see that!"
Sci-Twi pulled out a bright red spray can and read the label: "guaranteed to keep ALL aliens away! Where did you get this, Sunset?"
"I ordered it from a comic book," said Sunset proudly.
"Then aliens must be real!" exclaimed Sci-Twi. "Let's go spray the Amtrak!"
Sci-Twi and Sunset quietly walked up to Amtrak Summer Camp with Sugarcoat. It was late at night.
The Amtrak Train Has 2 Amtrak Locomotives, 1 Material Handling Car, 3 Heritage HEP Baggage cars, 1 Superliner 2 Transition Sleeper, 1 Superliner 2 Diner, 3 Superliner 1 Diner, 1 Superliner 2 Coach, 3 Superliner 1 Coach, 1 Superliner 1 Auto Train Lounge, Superliner 2 Sightseer Lounge, 3 Superliner 1 Lounge/Cafe, 1 Superliner 2 Sleeper, 3 Superliner 1 Sleeper, 1 D&H 201 class lightweight coach, 1 NYC "River" series 10-6 sleeper (Pullman-Standard), 1 Santa Fe Dining Car, 1 C&NW Pullman-Standard bi-level trailers, 1 SP AC&F bi-level car, and 1 New Haven Commuter Coach.
"Okay, Sunset," said Sci-Twi, "we'll just spray the outside of the rocket ship so it'll be safe from aliens, and then we'll go home."
Sunset ran up to the train and saw a button marked PRESS this to get inside Amtrak Train
"Hey! We can get inside the train," said Sunset.
"Oh, wait, I think this one starts it." said Sunset, but Sci-Twi stops Sunset from pushing a button.
"Sunset, what are you doing? I'm the space traveler here and I happen to know that that particular button is right over here." Sci-Twi said.
Sci-Twi presses the engine button and the train starts up and is blasting off.
The train began to roar and shake and make a lot of noise.
"Uh-oh," said Sci-Twi.
Sunset pointed at Sci-Twi and laughed. 'You started the train! You started the Amtrak! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
All the noise woke Sandy up. She saw her Amtrak blasting off—to the Everfree!
She sat up in bed and yelled, "SPONGEBOB!"
Sci-Twi looked out the window and saw the black sky filled with stars. Millions of stars. "We're in outer space!" he yelled.
Sci-Twi and Patrick started to have fun.
"I'm a bird!" said Sunset.
"I'm a balloon!" cried Sci-Twi.
The Amtrak was headed right for the Everfree. Exactly as Sandy had programmed it.
But Sci-Twi, Sunset, and Sugarcoat weren't paying attention to where the Train was going. They were too busy moving and driving.
The 3 Campers didn't notice. They were having too much fun.
Meanwhile, back in Carterlot City, Sandy was strapping on a car. It allowed her to lift off into Everfree all by herself.
As she tightened the straps, she shook her head. "Sometimes that SpongeBob is as dumb as a sack of peanuts! What the heck did he think he was doing, taking off in my rocket? I better get up there on the moon before he gets into more trouble!"
Sandy blasted off in her car, never seeing the train carrying campers as it splashed back into the city.
