CHAPTER 3

(A/N) Here's the next chapter!

DISCLAIMER: You know the drill! I don't own MLP.

"Ah hope they arrive soon, all this waitin's doin' mah head in!"

"And it's ever so hot out here!" Moaned Rarity. Suddenly, Pinkie jumped high in the sky and exclaimed, "Look! It's Dashie!" Rainbow's family had arrived.

The sky was suddenly filled with streaks of colour, zooming at high speeds and nearing the ground fast. Rainbow Dash landed swiftly, only to be knocked over by two ponies. The three fell to the ground, laughing.

"Get off Zap! Ooof! Bright, you're so FAT!"

"Am NOT!"

"Are too!"

"I agree with Dash!"

"ZAP!"

"Uh…Rainbow Dash?" Twilight said, trying to get the cyan pony's attention. It worked, and Rainbow Dash quickly got up.

"Sorry guys, I forgot about you for a minute!" She smiled and said, "This is my brother, Rainbow Zap, and my sister, Bright Star!" The girls turned to the two, friendly smiles on their faces.

Rainbow Zap was a strong-built stallion with a light blue coat, very similar to Rainbow's, only slightly darker. His mane was the same as Rainbow's, only spiked up. His eyes were the same fiery magenta as hers and he had the same cocky smirk that she often wore. He looked eerily similar to her.

Bright Star had a turquoise coloured coat and her mane was red, yellow and blue. It was spiked up in a style that was similar to Spitfire's and her eyes were a dark shade of blue. Pinkie Pie beamed.

"HI! IT'S SOOOOOO GREAT TO MEET YOU!" She yelled. Rainbow Zap smiled,

"You must be Pinkie Pie! Dashie's told me a lot about you! And your parties!"

"Yeah!" Bright Star cut in, "Your parties sound LEGENDARY!" Pinkie Pie gasped and began to cry uncontrollably. Bright Star looked taken aback and she looked at Rainbow worriedly.

"Um…Pinkie?" Rainbow asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm better than okay!" Pinkie sobbed, "I'm so happy my parties are so well known! It's so bubble-tastic!" Applejack sighed and stepped forward,

"Don't mind her, she's jus' bein' Pinkie. Ah'm Applejack!"

"Nice to meet you Applejack!" Rainbow Zap said, giving her a warm smile. Applejack felt her heart flutter and her cheeks grow warm, but she shook it off and smiled back. Then, Rainbow Zap spotted Fluttershy, and his eyes grew wide.

"Fluttershy?! Is that you?!" He exclaimed. Bright Star turned to stare at the yellow pegasus and she grinned widely.

"It's great to see you again Shy!" She squealed, as she embraced Fluttershy in a tight embrace.

"It's wonderful seeing you both again." Fluttershy said when Bright Star released her, "How have you been?"

"We've been great! How about you? How's the flying going?" Zap asked.

"It's gotten better, thanks to Rainbow!" She replied. Rainbow spoke up,

"So, Zap? Bright? You know Fluttershy, and now Applejack and Pinkie, and this is Rarity," She gestured towards the white unicorn, "And Twilight!" The unicorns smiled in greeting and Twilight spoke up,

"So, do you guys like reading?"

Rainbow face-hoofed. 'Trust Twilight to start a conversation about books with MY siblings.' She thought.

"READING?! EWWWW!"
