Chapter 3: Equestria Land Fun

At the roller coaster, people are on the cars. When the cars go down very fast, everyone scream. Then the cars goes up, down, around, and loop de loop. Fluttershy and Rainbow look to see the roller coaster. Rainbow is interested as she drinks her drink, and Fluttershy is hiding behind the map.

"Pretty great, right?!" Rainbow shouts.

Still frighten, Fluttershy shouts, "What?!"

"Can you hear me over all the screaming?!" Rainbow shouts louder.

But Fluttershy still can't hear, and shouts, "I can't hear you over all the screaming!"

Both Rainbow and Fluttershy look to see the roller coaster.

Still hiding behind the map, Fluttershy worriedly says, Oh. I wish I'd gone with Falling Star and Twilight. Or Pinkie Pie. Or anyone else in the entire park."

"Look at it this way. It's the perfect opportunity to conquer your fear," Rainbow says.

The two look to see the coaster has return to the station where they can get off.

Fluttershy weakly says, Can't I conquer something a little smaller first?

"Hey, good idea! A warm-up before the big game!" Rainbow happily says for the idea.

She looks at the map and asks, Ooh! What did you have in mind? Dragon Lands Drag Racing? Ooh, the Appleloosa Runaway Train! Ooh, Neighagara Falls Barrel Flume?!"

"Mm-mm," Fluttershy replies, shaking her head. Then points to the location with a smile.

But Fluttershy scaredly screams. Turns out the ride Fluttershy suggests is a small kiddie coaster. What's more, Fluttershy is scared while Rainbow is rather board.

Fluttershy happily says seeing the kids having fun, "Oh, these kids are so brave."

"Ugh," Rainbow groans putting her hand on her face.

Meanwhile, Applejack decides to check to see how Rarity is doing with the show. Applejack and Rarity walk together as they look around to see the employees are at work. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata decide to check things out themselves.

"Applejack, this parade is a living, breathing dance of light and sound!" Rarity happily says.

Just then, three employees come over with clothes, and Rarity points out, "Love it, lock it, stitch it."

Then more comes with other type of clothes.

Rarity says "Beautiful, perfect, I just threw up, love it."

"Now hurry up! I need these done yesterday!" Rarity holler.

"Wow! Those people are as busy as worker bees or something," sonata comments.

"Sounds like a handful," Aria replies.

"Well, it's a parade, Aria. Of course, it's going to be busy, and with short amount of time left," Adagio says.

Applejack turns to Rarity and says, "You were born for this, Rarity. You too Adagio. Anythin' I can do to help?"

"Play a great show tonight?" Rarity happily says,

But then notices something wrong, "Excuse me! I know I am not seeing a lapped zipper on that faux fur!"

The others look to see a mascot that is dressed like… Adagio in her siren form.

Adagio groans as she puts her hand on her face, knowing that this is kind of humiliating.

"A lapped zipper is simply a stuck zipper waiting to happen! Ugh!" Rarity sternly says.

She turns to Applejack, and says, "This is what I'm up against."

Then she walks ahead.

"Is that mascot supposed to like the siren you Adagio?" Sonata asks.

"Yes. This is so embarrassing," Adagio groans.

"Well yeah, they totally got your color wrong," Aria replies.

Adagio and Sonata firmly stare at Aria

Applejack calmly asks, "So, uh... wanna take a break and go get a caramel apple?"

"I'd love to, darling, but I am a tad super-insanely busy. Heh," Rarity answers, helping the employees with the decisions.

"Of course. I-I just thought…" Applejack is about to say.

But changes her mind, and sadly says, "Uh, never mind. You're right. I wouldn't wanna rain on your parade,"

"Rain?! I didn't plan for rain!" Rarity says in a panic.

Then shouts to the assistants, "Get me one hundred ponchos, stat!"

Adagio goes to Rarity, and says, "Applejack didn't mean actual rain. She is just saying that she doesn't want to get in the way."

"Okay. thank goodness you're here," Rarity calmly replies.

"Glad I can help," Adagio replies.

She turns to the others, "You all can head out to get some snacks without us. Rarity and I are going to be here for a while. And can you get us something to eat. We can really use a bite to eat right about now."

Then both of the girls leave to continue with their work.

Aria turns to the others, "Does anyone get the feeling like Rarity is going to snap in the next minute."

Both of the girls nod their heads in reply

In the park, Sun and Wire Wolf are looking around to see what kind of ride they want to go on.

"Wow! This place has so many different rides and attractions. It's making it hard to decide where to go on," Sun says.

"Yeah," Wire Wolf says looking at the park.

Then he says, "You know, I don't remember going to a theme park before. But I felt like I should."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll regain your memories. Until then, let's try to have some fun," Sun says with smile.

Suddenly, they hear someone calling out, "Sun! Wire Wolf! Over here!"

They both turn to see Vignette walking towards them.

"Hi Vignette, how are things going?" Sun asks.

"Things are going great. I can't wait for the light parade for tonight," Vignette answers with a smile.

Then she asks, "So what are you doing?"

"Wire Wolf and I are having trouble where to go to for a ride," Sun answers.

Vignette looks at Sun and then to Wire Wolf, with a smug look she asks, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Well, um, you could say that. I mean he's my friend who is a boy, but we're not actually dating or anything," Sun says with her cheeks blush.

Suddenly, Vignette has an idea, "You know, you and Wire Wolf should definitely go to the Hearts and Hooves Tunnel of love. It's where lovers go together to have a wonderful time with each other."

Sun and Wire Wolf blush to hear it.

Then Vignette goes to Wire Wolf, and says, "As you probably heard, I have a special policy, B.Y.B.B. And I just come up with a great idea for you. How about you dressed like break dancer. Having a cap wear backwards, wearing baggy pants, and sneakers, and jacket…"

"Uh no thanks. I think I like my look the way it is," Wire Wolf interrupts.

"Aww, but why not?" Vignette asks.

"Break dancing is so not me. And as long as Sun and my other friends like me the way I am, that all that matters," Wire Wolf answers.

Then he asks, "But we'll check out this tunnel, where is it?"

"It's right by Nightmare Moon's Haunted house," Vignette answers.

"Okay. See you later," Sun says.

Then Sun and Wire Wolf walk off to go find the ride. Vignette is leaving a scowl look at her face to see that her idea for Wire Wolf has been declined by the boy himself.

Meanwhile, Rainbow and Fluttershy are on the roller coaster. As they ride the cars up the steep tracks, Fluttershy is so scared that she is making expression of frown, sadness, and fright.

"I'm proud of you. You know that? You're facing your fears head-on. Just like I always did as a kid," Rainbow says with confidence.

Rainbow looks over the car to see the view from above, "I mean, look, a four-hundred-foot vertical drop right into these loop-de-loops and a corkscrew?"

Rainbow ends up getting spooked and puts her head back to where the seat is.

"You're probably super-nervous about that, I bet. Heh. And that next part where it goes backwards? Uh, how are you feeling, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asks starting to get nervous. Fluttershy is having her eyes closed to even care.

A seagull flies by squawking as the cars are going higher.

Rainbow being to panic, "Is it even safe to be this high up? You're probably thinking, 'Stop the ride! I want to get off! That's what you want, right? Right now? You're about to yell it? Stop the ride! Seriously! Please, somebody stop the ride!"

As the cars are going over the hill, Rainbow screams in agony, "STOP THE RIIIIIIIDE!"

But it's too late, the cars are going down to the ride.

The next moment, the ride stops at the station, and everyone gets off. Fluttershy is very happy to go on the ride. Rainbow ends up getting help off it. As they walk out, Rainbow legs wobble like jelly.

"That was actually kind of... fun," Fluttershy replies with a giggle.

Totally! That's why I didn't want to get off! I was just saying what you would've said," Rainbow says.

She nervously laughs, and says, "That's all."

Fluttershy can tell that Rainbow is not being honest, but smiles and says, "You were very brave."

"Heh. You, too... by the way," Rainbow replies.

Then Rainbow continues to walk, but falls over with a loud thud to the ground. Fluttershy giggles in reply. Just then, Fluttershy hears her phone vibrating and looks to see who it is. When she looks at the message, she is kind of confused about it.

Sun and Wire Wolf are able to find the Hearts and Hooves Tunnel of Love. the ride is a river ride where the boats look like hearts. Many of the people who are going in are couples going out together.

"There are so many people going on this ride," Wire Wolf says.

"Yeah. And most of them are actually married couples or dates," Sun replies.

Wire Wolf blushes, "Do you think this could be a date. I mean, in our case."

"I guess you can call it that," Sun says with her cheeks blush.

The two blushes and turn their heads away from each other. When the boat arrives. Wire Wolf help Sun into the boat. Then the heart shape boat begins to move down the river. Among the couples is Cranky Doodle and Matilda. They're planning on getting on the ride too.

Cranky sighs with a smile, and says, "Young love!"

"I know," Matilda says.

The two become close together and have their arm wrap around each other.

Applejack, Aria, and Sonata are looking around the park to find some stands. While Applejack is looking to the caramel apple stand, Aria and Sonata are looking for something to eat.

Suddenly, they hear someone calling out, "Apples! Caramel apples over here! We've got red and green and everything in between!"

The three girls walk to see Micro Chips is working at the caramel apple stand.

"Micro Chips?" Applejack questions.

Miro presents the apple, "Caramel apple?

"Uh, Applejack. You're who they hired to be the caramel apple... girl?" Applejack questions.

Aria rolls her eyes, "More like caramel apple boy."

"Vignette said she wanted cool nerd chic. I'd say she found it. Wouldn't you?" Micro says.

Microchips dip the apple on a stick into the caramel. When he tries to pull it out, it ends up getting stuck. Microchips is able to get it out, but ends up getting another caramel apple on his shirt, then another. The three girls watch to see the crashing noise.

Aria whispers to Applejack, "I think you're the better choice for the job than him."

Soon, Micro Chips is covered in caramel and caramel apples.

Micro coughs, and sheepishly asks, "Do you by any chance have a knife or samurai sword or several tiny but very sharp nail clippers?"

The three shake their heads in reply. As they watch the sticky situation, Vignette and Fluttershy walking together right past them, and to one of the attractions with candy canes, cake and other sweets in large size.

Vignette begins to say, "I know what you're thinking. 'But, Vignette, how can I ever thank you for coming up with such a brilliant idea for the parade?'"

"I don't understand. You want me to pretend I'm someone else tonight?" Fluttershy questions, looking confused.

Vignette explains with a hipe tone, Everyone in the band has a new role. It's part of my BOLD, NEW VISION! All caps, Helvetica, sixty-five. 'Fluttershy: Bad Girl.' Spiked hair, ripped tights. I've already commissioned an A-list graffiti/sneaker artist to tag up a custom guitar. How do you feel about skulls? B.Y.B.B."

Fluttershy is rather shocked to hear what Vignette wants her to be.

Fluttershy shyly says, "Uh, maybe I, um... shouldn't do it. At all."

At first Vignette doesn't say a word. She looks at her phone and has an idea.

Vignette walks to Fluttershy, and says, "You're right. If collab-ing isn't your thing, that's your life decision to make. But I just thought of a way for us both to get exactly what we want."

"You did?" Fluttershy asks with a smile.

"Of course! Getting what I want is what I do best, sweetie," Vignette says.

She then has her phone in front of her, and says, "Now say 'cheese!'"

Vignette presses the button on her phone, and digitized Fluttershy. Then sucks her into her cell phone.

"Sorry, Fluttershy. You'll thank me later," Vignette says, putting her phone away. Then leaves.

Fluttershy finds herself trapped in a white void.

Fluttershy questions as she looks around, "Um, excuse me? Vignette? Where am I?"

Fluttershy looks around, and noticed the salad on the ground.

She sits next to the bowl, and asks, And do you mind if I eat this salad? I'm feeling stressed."

Fluttershy is starting to get scared to see that she has no idea where she is. What's more, no one has no idea where she is.
