Episode 34: Driving Miss Sun
In the hall of CHS, Sun is with Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack about a serious problem she has. And could use some help with it.
"What do you mean you failed?" Fluttershy asks in concern.
Sun shows the paper that has x's on it to Fluttershy. She groans and slides down her locker to the ground in depression
"Mr. Cranky Doodle said I didn't have enough experience to pass the driving test. I have a retest on Wednesday, but it's my last chance, and he wants me to practice with someone more experienced," Sun explains.
She rolls her eyes and says, "And he said I can't ask my dad about it."
"Why?" Applejack asks.
"My dad is an okay driver, but he can sometimes act crazy when he's behind the wheel," Sun answers.
Rarity scoffs, "Oh, pfft. Darling, is that all? I can take you any time you like."
"Don't fret your fritters. I can borrow Granny's truck," Applejack says with glee.
Fluttershy shyly says, "We could use my car,"
Sun looks at the girls and thinks about it, "Well, I guess I'll go with…"
Few days later on a Sunday afternoon, Sun is waiting for the car that will be used for her driving practice. Sun looks at her phone to see the time, and is not being patient about it. Just then, large limo drives in front of her.
Sun questions, "Huh?"
Sun looks at the limo and wonders why is it parked here.
The back window lowers down to reveal Rarity wearing stylish sunglasses.
She takes the sunglasses off, and says, "Isn't it fabulous? I rented it for the day."
Then Rarity sticks her head out the window and says, "If you're going to study driving, you must do it in style. I call it 'stretch chic'."
Sun doesn't really understand what Rarity is talking about. Instead of question, she shrug her shoulders, and goes inside the limo. Once she is inside the limo drives away.
In the back of the limo, Rarity and Sun are sitting down, about to have a discussion on driving
"Now, just a few things that you absolutely must know," Rarity says as Sun gets out a pad and pencil to take notes with.
Sun begins to write down as Rarity explains, "Always have both sparkling and still water. You never know which one your passengers will prefer. Never play the music too loud or too soft. It has to be just enough that their heads bob but not so much that they cover their ears. And finally, always have your lights on the ready in case of an impromptu party breaking out."
As Sun is talking notes, she is starting to get confused on Rarity's tips
The last part makes Sun questions, "Your headlights?"
Rarity pulls down a chair that can buttons on it. Once Rarity presses the button, lights turn on and music begins to play. Rarity is moving and dancing to the seat while sitting. Sun is rather confused about it.
Sun says, looking skeptic, "Rarity, I'm not going to prom. I'm just trying to pass my driving test."
"Darling, can't we do both?" Rarity asks.
Sun chuckles, "Rarity, prom isn't until next semester."
Sometime later, Sun is at the driver seat with a man with curly white hair, blue eyes, and purple skin. He is the driver of this car. Sun begins to drive as she looks at bit nervous
She then begins to hear Rarity saying, "Just a little bit— Oh! No, an inch to the left. Now—ooh, careful! The shoulder! Watch the shoulder!"
Hearing Rarity's talking is causing her to get confused on what to do. She stop, and turns to the back seat to see Rarity is getting a message by Aloe from the spa.
"Ooh, driving can be stressful, darling," Rarity says, feeling relaxed.
Sun rolls her eyes, "Rarity, I'm the one who is driving not you."
After days of practicing and getting tips from Rarity, Sun is taking her driving test with Cranky Doodle. Sun is doing well with her driving test so far.
Cranky says to sun as he looks at the paper on the clipboard, "Not bad, Sun. You completed the left turn, the right turn, the U-turn, and the K-turn.
Unknown to Cranky, Sun is already driving to the parking spot.
He continues, "But now comes the party where everyone fails – parallel parking. Don't expect to…"
"Done," Sun happily says.
Cranky looks to see Sun has done a perfect parallel park.
He asks in surprise, "Where on Earth did you learn to do that?"
"Mmm, I just had to... stretch my talents," Sun answers with a confident smile.
"I don't get it. Eh," Cranky replies.
He puts a green check on Sun's paper meaning she passed the driving test. Sun smiles in reply. And she kind of has Rarity to thank for that. Even though she has a strange way of helping her with the driving test.
