The next morning the two woke up and thrust was waiting for them with hot chocolate and breakfast in bed - with muffins and toast and orange juice. "good mourning you two -" chirruped thrust perkily "-how was your night last night?". It was great! they said together -"I never knew there were so many stars!" said snuggles incredulating. "have some fruit yogurt with oatmeal" offered thrust "thanks!" thanked rainbow dash and snuggles got a mini brain muffin. They all sat on the porch and ate their breakfast's in the morning sunshine: the food was very tasty and rainbow dash thanked thrust and so did snuggles (an: she really smart and a fast learner, and rainbow dash in a n excellent teacher :)) and thrust said "your welcome he sad while sipping an alcohol-free ammomomsa. Finally the breakfast was all eaten and drank - thrust took the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them before putting them back in their cabanets- when rainbow dash stopped him and said "her, let me help you with that." thrst was very touched at rainbow dahse's kindness and generosity. "thank so zoo much rainbow dash - you must be one of the nicest ponies I've ever met!" He observed investedly, and rainbow dash blushed humbly and aid "think nothing of it, I'm just happy to help out my friends." and they went to wash the dishes with snuggles: who also wanted to help just like her mother! They all joked and laughed while they washed the dishes and rainbow dash used her magic to make the chores go by really easily. It was over sooner than they expected so they went out to buy some apples. Rainbow dash put snuggles on he shoulders and the three of them took off sailing into the bresk morning air and were soon at applejack's house. When they knocked on applejack's door spike answered it - "hi rainbow dash, hi thrust… ….and hi, snuggles" spike blushed tounge tide. The friendly dragon led them into the kitchen where twilight sparkle was in applejack's sink - trying to fix a gas leak. she emerged holding a monkey wretch in her magic and she was covered in grease and dirt. "well, the problem is - your missing a very important piece of expensive piping and the gas is coming out" she concluded determinatively "it will cost a lot of money to replace it. oh hellos dranbow dash!" she greeted exasperatedly "well helluh pa'rdnur" said applejack - putting down the newspaper (an: its a copy of the daily equestrian! Aslo I don't know the rights to characters of the mlp universe) she had been read, -"well, we've don't havuhselves lotuhs of bits at presuhntly," she confessed amably "we had t'uh pay fur all t'uh trwees flimflam a'n flimflam destroyed aft'ah their esipudes." Just then, rainbow dash looked at the paper: it had writing on it that read -[100th Anual Equestrian Jousting Tournament Begins Soon]- "I didn't know that there was a jousting tournament?" revealed rainbow dash curiously? "i used to go there all the time when I lived in canterlot It was really intense, ponies came form all fover equestrian to glean the trophy and bring home the money prize." twilight sparkle extended relevantly. "that's it!-said rainbow dash!-we'll take the prize money from winning and use it to pay to fix the gas leak!" she declared ambitally! "buht whu're will ah: applebloom, granny smith and big macintosh stay while th'isn tar'nashon house is dangerouse!" applejack intreceded responsibly. "you guys can stay at my house!" rainbow dash offered generously. "we'll ahl be, thatsu'h great idea pardoner!" applejack exclaimed thankfully "eeeyup" said big macintosh with a big grin on his freckled face. Then they all set out to help the apple family moove: they took all the important items and furniture and put them in a red wagon that big macintosh pulled, everypony was hard at work moving stuff out but it got done really quickly thanks to twilight sparkle and rainbow dahse's magic, and also because the apple family was hard workers. While they were working, spike stumbled up to snuggles and "hi snuggles, would you like some pastries?" he blushed as he handed out a tray of homemade pastries. Snuggles thanked spike and ate the tasty pastries (an: that rhymed! and it wasn't intentional :)) and then snuggles went off to do more work and spike went off looking flushed with exhilaration. Soon it was all done- so everypony climbed into the wagon except rainbow dash: who pulled the wagon through the sky. As they flew applebloom stuck her head out the side and yelled :"yee-haww!" like they do in movies like free willy and everypony felt the wind whip through their manes. While they flew thrust looked nostalgically on rainbow dash, he wasn't even surprised that she could pull all 5 of them-he found himself remembering the time he looked at her flying for the first time and how impressed he was at her technique. He was impressed even now at how efficiently and elegaty she flew thru the crisp morning air. They soon arrived at rainbow dashe's house, where they unpacked and rainbow dash dropped a rope ladder out the pouch so they could climbb ack into ponyville if they wanted to. "thanks again rainbow dash!" the apple family cheered!-"its fine, you'd do the same for me" returned rainbow dash! Then the three pegaus complimentary. Then they packed up rainbow dashe's things and thrust packed his suitcase and the three of them went to the train station. hey happily paid for three tickets and were about to climb on when rarity waltzed into the station - carrying a big white suitcase embroidered with golden and purple tim: with a big blue diamond on the fornt. She just made it to the train and jumped on bard, carrying a ticket with her magic. "I came to cheer you on dahhlibg!" congratulated rarity breathlessly! - "I hope that's okay with you!" "We'd love for you to come along! its always good to have you around!" proclaimed rainbow dash, thrust and snuggle. They all settled down on a comfy train and rode it to the royal city of canterlot- a lovely city where all the royals and big things live. The day was beautiful, and the weather couldn't have bee nicer: the sun was in full bloom in the sky an d the bees were buzzing through the crispy morning air wile our favorte ponies walked over to the hotel the would stay during the tournament when suddely they were pulled aside by shining armor - twilight sparkle's older brother who is nice and is married to cadfnce pulled them aside and talked to them. "Princess celestia has heard news of you r arrival and has sent word that you three are to be picked and taken to the royal palanec of canterlot!" he said authroatively but also kindly. He was the personal guard and so he was sent personally to help pick them up, as he told them while they were walking to th epalace he talked aboout how princess caelaestia had heard she was coming and wanted to thank her for doing the sonic rianboomm at her wedding and saving the kingdom many time in the past. Thrust lead them up to their royal guest suite where they were going to spend the night: the room was lavisyy derogated with fluffily lacy curtains and gold rims on the furniture like in the traditional canterlot style, there were stain glass windows depcpting important events from equestria's history. There was tea on the coffee table and three beds with poles and more fancy curtains like you see in old pictures-and rarity went over to the bed and tidily began unpacking her things, and so did rainbow dash. Then rarity went out of the room and said "Ahhhhhmm of to see and meet somepony, tooodey-oo!" she siad cherrilee and went out the door with a flusiruh. Then rainbow dash and thrust headed together outside to go and practice in the half-hour before the race began.
