Chapter 7

In the morning, Macintosh woke up. He didn't really need anything to wake him up. Not an alarm, not a wake-up call, not even the sun shining through the window, he wakes up when gets enough sleep. The sun was shining and there was no rain. Macintosh had tried to stretch, but he bumped his arm on Applejack's forehead. "Why was Applejack in his bed, didn't she know there was another bed?" he thought. He quickly abandoned the thought and got up to freshen up. Walking down stairs he found Applebloom, Babs, and Autumn sleeping on the floor by the couch. He passed by them and opened the front door. He walked out and sat sown in a chair that was on the porch.

Manhattan was beautiful, it didn't even come close to how a nice day in Ponyville looks and feels. Macintosh got up after a few minutes of admiring and decided to walk around. Most ponies don't get up so early, but the ones who do usually are the ones who need the time to get their shop ready for business. There was a few stands already open, so Macintosh poked around seeing if he could get a bargain.

Macintosh came across a stand that had a cart up for sale. It was pretty old, but it looked sturdy. Macintosh asked the lady how much it was. The pony was suprised that he wanted that and even told him how for 3 years nobody was interested in paying for it. She then gave him the offer of 45 bits. Macintosh took the deal, bought a cow to pull it and wheeled his way back to the house.

Applejack woke up once the sunlight came down onto her face. She woke up glad, knowing that Princess Luna tried her very best to keep the nightmares away. She thanked Princess Luna and got up out of bed. She grabbed some clothes and walked downstairs. Applebloom and Babs were still asleep, but Autumn had woken up and reached out her arms towards Applejack, gesturing that she wanted to be picked up. So Applejack did.

Autumn tummy started to growl, amd Applejack let out a giggle. She walked in the kitchen to find Apple Dumpling making her husband, who was working out in the field, some breakfast. Applejack opened the small fridgerator and pulled out a bottle of formula and stuck it in the microwave. Applejack told Apple Dumpling that she had nothimg like this at her home. It fact all she had in her kitchen that was modern was a toaster. Apple Dumpling laughed and exclaimed that she had gotten most of these electronics as wedding gifts from her friends.

Applejack fed the formula to Autumn and patted her back, trying to get her to burp. Macintosh then came in, letting Applejack know what he planned on doing today before they left. They were also going to try and ask the locals if they saw Rainbow Dash, and try to get some direction. Macintosh exclaimed they were going to leave in the afternoon to keep from traveling in the dark.

Once the afternoon came along the three (and Autumn) headed out to town and asked many of the locals if they had seen Rainbow Dash and where she might have gone. But no pony saw her. They came up to a stand that sold packs and jackets. Macintosh figured they would need something more than bags and suitcases to care some of there belongings, especially Applebloom. He bought 3 packs for 15 bits and stuffed some apples in his. Just before they left Applejack asked the pony if he had seen Rainbow Dash and described how she looked. The man eyes lit up and exclaimed that he indeed see her yesterday, in fact he had sold her a duffel bag after her original pack had both straps broken. Applejack asked where Rainbow Dash had gone, and the man said that she didn't mention but she did fly up north once she left. Applejack thanked the stallion and they started to go up north.

If Rainbow Dash was here yesterday then she probably spent some time resting where ever she was up north. Applejack whispered to herself "We're coming Rainbow Dash". It started sprinkling, and some ponies told them that a big storm was coming from the south. Macintosh hesistated, but he decided to keep going. The rain started get pick up a little.
