Sunbeam and Twilight were eating a snack and giggling, "Right, doesn't it stink?" Twilight asked then their dad came in "Spring break's almost over, did you take care of your homework?" he asked, "Uh...not yet...you know how you can't help having fun on vacations?" Sunbeam asked with a small blush, "We're in trouble now, huh sis?" she asked, "Sorry, I'm almost done with mine." Twilight said, she was honestly surprised Sunbeam didn't do her homework.

"But you've been playing with me the whole time..." Sunbeam thought.

We see them both asleep, Twilight's alarm rings and she wakes up and stretches, eats breakfast, and starts doing homework, then goes to Shining Armor, "I need help with this part." she said, "How am I supposed to know it if you don't?" he asked, "Aren't you Captain of the Royal Guard?" Twilight asked, but all Sunbeam does is sleep, "Go wake Sunbeam up." their mom said to Twilight, "No way, she'll never wake up!" Twilight said.

"Sunbeam, wake up now.' their mom said, "Dad's late." Twilight said, "He had a ground breaking ceremony earlier." Shining Armor said, "What time is it?" Sunbeam yawned, "I'm home!" their dad said, soon they were waiting on Sunbeam for lunch, "Good morning." Sunbeam yawned, "It's already past noon, I don't get how you can sleep so much." Shining Armor said, Sunbeam giggled.

Soon they were with Rainbow Dash, "Did you see the special final episode of Wings of Love?" Twilight asked, "Nope." Rainbow said, "I fell asleep halfway through." Sunbeam said, 'You fell asleep?" Twilight asked, "It got crazy! a unicorn balanced a wash bin on his horn!" she said, later they ate dinner and were doing homework, but after awhile, Sunbeam yawned and went to bed, Twilight stayed up and did her homework, "Twilight, you have a call from Fluttershy!" her mom called, "OK!" Twilight said, "Would you like to hold a study session for checking homework answers?" Fluttershy asked, "Sounds great, let's do it!" Twilight said, later she was reading a book, 'Twilight, you have a call from Rainbow Dash!" her mom said, "How about we do a study thing for checking homework?" Rainbow asked, "Wait a sec, you're just gonna copy my answers, aren't you?" Twilight asked angrily.

"So let me copy your homework." Rainbow said when she arrived at her house, Twilight sighed, "Straight to the point, huh?" she asked, "You can copy my homework but if you don't do it yourself, you'll fail the test after spring break!" Twilight said, "You're right, we'll only hurt ourselves..." Sunbeam said, "I'm good at winging stuff through the night, so I'll be fine." Rainbow smirked, "so let me copy." she said, "At least pretend to be guilty!" Twilight snarled.

Soon they were copying while Twilight was reading a book, Fluttershy then came in, "I'm sorry to intrude." she said, "Oh welcome!" all 3 said, "Oh, are you here to study too Rainbow?" she asked, "No, she's just copying.' Twilight said, "Anyway, you barely touched it." Twilight said to the two, "What were you doing during break?" she asked, "Uh..." they both said.

Day 1:
We see Sunbeam with a calculator while Rainbow plays games on her computers, "Ok 23 pages of math, 20 pages of history, 30 pages of English..." Sunbeam said, "Ok we have 5 days of vacation, assuming 5 hours, no 4 hours,..." she said typing numbers in, "That means 1.15 pages of math an hour." she said, later on she was reading a book while Rainbow kept playing.

Day 2:
Sunbeam was reading a book and Rainbow was still playing, "Oh no, I haven't got any work done!" Sunbeam said, "Ok I only have 3 days left so let's go with 6 hours a day?" she asked.

Day 3:
We see the twins giggling at tv while Rainbow was still playing, "Oh gosh I only have two days left!" Sunbeam said.

Day 4:
It was the day their dad asked if they took care of homework, Sunbeam was realizing how doomed she was and Rainbow called Twilight.

"I wanted to do everything as planned..." Sunbeam said, "Mission failed..." Twilight said, 'Shouldn't have even bothered." Rainbow shrugged, 'You're even worse!" Twilight snapped.

We see Twilight waking up and she peeks into Sunbeam's room, she was asleep at her desk with her homework, "So she wound up doing it herself, looks like she's a hardworking mare deep down." Twilight thought with a smile as she looked at her homework, "But her accuracy is too much for me to bear!" Twilight thought with a disappointed smile, "Pathetic, just pathetic!"

Soon we see Cheerilee in a class, "Hello class, did you have good vacation?" she asked, "But then again you had a lot of homework and a test right after vacation, so you couldn't have been having fun." she smirked, "It barely felt like a vacation." a student groaned, "Too bad I had a blast!" Cheerilee said, "Ms. Cheerilee," Rainbow said, "Yes?" Cheerilee asked, "I also let loose and had a blast!" Rainbow smirked, "HEY!" Cheerilee said angrily.

Soon, school over and they're downtown, Rainbow is playing a UFO Catcher, "Aren't these things designed so you can't get anything?" Twilight asked, "Depends on what you're going for, some things are especially hard to grab." Rainbow said, she tried for a Daring Do plush and nabbed it! "Wow!" Sunbeam said, "Meh, this one was gettable." Rainbow said, holding her plush proudly, "Hmm, maybe id I tried for that one..." Twilight thought, "I mean actually get it?" Rainbow asked, making the unicorn jump, "Is that what you're thinking?" Rainbow smirked, 'N-no, not at all!" Twilight said, "But I might as well give it a try." she said, putting some money in then trying for the same Dsring Do plush, but it dropped, "Ooh." Sunbeam winced, "I almost had it." Twilight said with an irritated look, she tried and tried and tried but it always dropped, "A stallion once said operating a UFO Catcher is like opening a savings account." Rainbow said, "Smart colt..." Twilight said.

Soon they were trying a Guitar Hero game, they were playing "Gives You Chaos" by All Equestrian Rejects, Rainbow played perfectly while Sunbeam struggled, "No, wrong note, failed!" Sunbeam said, soon they were done, "I failed...you have a great sense of rhythm, Dashie." Sunbeam said, "Nah, it's got nothing to do with rhythm, the skills you pick from gaming end up being pretty much useless in real life." Rainbow said, "You're living proof of that." Twilight said, soon they were playing a fighting game, a really told stallion lost and looked to see who his opponent was, and was very shocked to see Rainbow Dash with a proud smirk, he walked away and another stallion tried but he wound up losing, "You're strong Dashie."Sunbeam said, "Pretty much." Rainbow said, "How much time does she spend on these?" Twilight asked in her head.

"Rainbow? Rainbow?" Cheerilee asked, "Rainbow's absent today?" she asked, soon she was walking into an office when a unicorn had a phone, "It's for you, Cheerilee." he said, Cheerilee took the phone, "It's me." she said, "Ms. Cheerilee, I need to take a sick day." Rainbow said, Cheerilee was surprised, "That's usual, Rainbow, did you catch a cold?" she asked, "No, it's a bad case of May sickness, I can barely move..." Rainbow said, "JUST GET YOUR FLANK OVER HERE!" Cheerilee growled.

Soon school was over and Rainbow packed her bag, "Hey, we're leaving." Twilight said until she noticed Rainbow's bag, "Why's your bag so packed?" she asked, "Testing starts soon, so I'm gonna pull an all-nighter." the cyan pegasus said, "Don't tell me you're gonna cram that in a night." Twilight said with an irritated look, "But that's how I always wing it." Rainbow said, "You sure sound confident, well then show me how good you really are." Twilight said.

The next day, they were testing, Twilight had a small smile as she wrote the answers, Sunbeam was struggling a bit, Fluttershy had a concentrated look as she wrote and Rainbow had a grin as she wrote fastly, "Ok time to return your tests!" Cheerilee said the next day, all the students groaned, "I want my mommy!" one said.

Twilight saw she got a 89, "So-so, I guess." she said, "How'd you do?" she asked Sunbeam, "You probably should ask, but I worked hard..." Sunbeam said embarrassingly, "What about miss all nighter?" she smirked at Rainbow, "Fine thanks for asking." Rainbow said, proudly showing she got an 86, "THAT'S JUST WRONG!" Twilight yelled.

We see Opal yawning, "Lucky Ponies!" all 4 said.

The next day, we see Rainbow in school, she's laying her head on her desk, "I'm so tired, I don't wanna do anything..." she said, "Come on, let's go." Twilight said, we see her reading a book with a tired look, "So you still wound up with us huh?" Twilight asked, just then, Rainbow perked up, "Comp festival, discount on all QUO cards, gotta collect 'em all! ok, time to get a job!" Rainbow said, "you're so easy to read..." Twilight said, soon they were waiting for a bus, "Seriously, I've never heard of anypony being absent for May sickness." Twilight said, "I can understand how she feels though." Fluttershy said, "It has sickness in the name though, shouldn't it count as a serious disease?" Rainbow asked, "Do you seriously mean that?" Twilight asked, Rainbow nodded, "What's May Sickness?" Sunbeam asked, Twilight sighed, "Tell her Fluttershy." she said, "Let's see, it begins with the feeling of achievement somepony feels after accomplishing something major such as getting into college or getting a new job," Fluttershy said, "when new relationships in April don't work out as well as you'd like, you're unable to keep up with the gap between the new life you imagined and reality, as a result you feel helpless and weary," she said, "So plain lethargy might not be considered May sickness." she said, "Besides, May sickness shouldn't have to so anything with 5th graders like us." Twilight said. (you heard her, I'm making them elementary schoolers, have a problem with it? deal with it) "I'm always pumped up by the pace in spring." Rainbow said, "Really now?" Twilight asked, "well I'm not as bad as Rainbow, but I do get unusually tired this time of year, once I'm home, I can't bring myself to do homework." Twilight said, "Me too!" Rainbow said, there was an awkward silence, "...Nopony's gonna comment?" Twilight asked.

Soon we see Fluttershy in class and she sighs, "Why are you sighing, Fluttershy?" Sunbeam asked, "Well, I'm embarrassed to be saying at this age, but I avoid going to the dentist as it terrifies me, and I got a cavity the other day, it hurts to even drink water." Fluttershy said, "Isn't that normal though? I'm pretty scared of the dentist's too." Sunbeam said, "but why would you avoid the dentist's until your tooth started hurting?" Rainbow Dash asked, the two just sat there for awhile, and Rainbow got confused, "Strangely enough, I know my tooth will end up hurting..." Fluttershy said, "You till don't wanna go right?" Sunbeam asked, "When the pain first starts, you choose not to go to the dentist's while you can still live with the pain." Fluttershy said, "Is the dentist really that scary? I've never needed to go so I don't know." Rainbow said, "You've never gone, lucky you." Sunbeam said, "There's that hospital smell and the nerve wracking wait..." Fluttershy said, "Oh and the sound of the drill gets me every time!" Sunbeam said, "Drill getter!" Rainbow thought, "It's terrifying!" Sunbeam said.

"But don't Stallions like going?" Rainbow asked, "Huh?" they asked, "Aren't drills like a stallion's romance? I've heard they love it when the robots fight with a drill!" Rainbow said, "But I bet they don't like having their teeth drilled, I've been thinking aren't the receptionists and assistants usually pretty mares?" Sunbeam asked, "Now that you mention it, it does seem that way." Fluttershy said, "Wonder why." Rainbow said, "It's probably the hiring criteria, "Exclusively beautiful assistants and drills huh?" Rainbow asked, the thought od a robot with drills for arms and a pretty mare with a giant needle appeared into her head, "That does sound like something geared towards males." Fluttershy said, "Then what would a dentist's office for females sound like?" Sunbeam asked, "You'd have to get rid of the smell first." Rainbow said, "and switch the chair for a soft, auto massaging recliner." Sunbeam said, "Then they should utilize aromatherapy, right?" Fluttershy asked, "And include a foot massage while you're being treated." she said, "That does sound nice." Sunbeam said, and to numb the pain, they should let you play games." Rainbow said, "It might be a bit hard to play games at the same time." Sunbeam said, "But it'd be a good way to distract you from the pain." Fluttershy said, "They could give you headsets and play your favorite songs." Rainbow said, "That's nice!" Sunbeam said, "That would also be nice." Fluttershy said, "...But I still don't like the dentist." Fluttershy said.

"What's this?" Rainbow asked angrily, "what's wrong?" Twilight asked, "They're animating another series I like, but they're using totally different voices from the drama CD." Rainbow said, "Don't get it." Twilight said, "Was this the work of a higher power?" Rainbow asked, "I never but drama CDs, as long as the voices sound like the original character, I don't care who they use." Twilight said, "That's not how it works, Twi, people who are used to the drama CD feel something's wrong when they watch the anime." Rainbow said, "Well, there's one good thing that come out of this." Rainbow said, "Huh what's that?" Twilight asked, "Drama CD and anime, you can enjoy two different world with them, two for the price of one." Rainbow said, "You're a die-hard fan huh?" Twilight asked with an amused smile.

Soon, they were at a restaurant, and they looked at one last bit of salad, "One of us will be taking the last bit of Fluttershy's salad, let's say it goes to whoever wins a staring contest." Rainbow suggested, "Wha-you're like a filly." Twilight said, "A staring contest sounds fun!" Sunbeam said, "Twilight's probably gonna lose." Rainbow said, "Did you say something?" Twilight growled, "And...stare-down!" Rainbow said, Twilight and Sunbeam tried to stay focused but they started laughing once they saw Rainbow's face, "That was so bad, you didn't even look normal!" Twilight giggled, "Hey you're overreacting." Rainbow said, just then Fluttershy came back, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting, there was a long line for the bathroom." she said, she then noticed Twilight and Sunbeam laughing, "Did something happen?" she asked, "Hey show that face to Fluttershy!" Twilight said, while Sunbeam wiped the tears out of her eyes, "No way!" Rainbow said, "It was incredible, Fluttershy, I've never seen anything like it!" Twilight said, "Fine." Rainbow said, they all stared at Rainbow for awhile before giggling, "It's amazing everytime I see it!" Sunbeam laughed, "That face may come in handy when it comes to the talent part of the exams!" Fluttershy giggled, "That's it Rainbow! it'll get you into college!" Twilight laughed, "I'm not exactly thrilled." Rainbow grumbled as the three kept laughing.

"There was this thing on tv about the average number of books a pony in Equestria reads daily, and they said to omit manga and read normal books." Rainbow said to Sunbeam in class the next day, "Well, Mangas..." Sunbeam asked, "Do light novels count?" Rainbow asked, "I'm not sure, light novels should be ok." she said, "what about picture books?" Rainbow asked, this got Sunbeam confused, "Since they're called books, they should count." Sunbeam said, "Other fantasy stuff like Marey Trotter is normal, so what do you call a normal book?" she asked, Sunbeam thought about it, "So it ended by saying how young ponies are becoming way too illiterate, but doesn't browsing the internet and blogging INCREASE your literacy?" Rainbow asked, "I get it then I don't..." Sunbeam said.

"Hey let's go." Twilight said, "Just a sec." Sunbeam said, "I can't go home with you guys." Rainbow said, "Do you have something to do?" Twilight asked, Rainbow nodded, "I started working." she said, "She started working? Comp festival must be really important to her!" Twilight thought, soon she and Sunbeam were walking home, "Anyway, Rainbow really surprised me." the purple unicorn said, "She sure did, she really got a job, I thought she was just joking." Sunbeam said, "that's also true, but I was talking about how somepony actually hired her." Twilight said, Sunbeam jumped a bit, "Th-that's a bit harsh!" she said, "besides, I can't picture her actually doing manual labor." Twilight said, "That's true..." Sunbeam said, "I wonder where she's working." Twilight said, "Maybe a book store?" Sunbeam asked, the two pictured her reading then a customer went up to her, "Excuse me I'd like this." she said, "Hold on, I'm busy." Rainbow said, then she found a coupon, "Cha-ching!" she said, the thought ended, "I hope she doesn't get fired..." Twilight said, "Then maybe a convenince store?" Sunbeam asked, we see a thought of Rainbow lazily helping a customer, "Doubt it." Twilight said, "Then what about a fast food place?" Sunbeam asked, "Can't see it." Twilight said, "I guess that eliminates a family restaurant." she said, "I wonder where she's working." Sunbeam said as they waited at the bus stop.

"Traffic Survey?"

"Doubt it."

"Video rental store?"

"Not too sure."

"A bar.

"Nah."

"Pizza delivery."

"Meh."

"Supermarket cashier."

"Impossible."

"Cram school teacher."

"That leaves..." Sunbeam said, then thought about it, "Let's ask her tomorrow." Twilight said, "Hey Rainbow where are you working?" Twilight asked the next day, "Oh just a normal pegasus cafe." Rainbow said, they both widened their eyes, "It fits her so perfectly!" they thought.

We see Opal asleep, "Lucky Ponies." All 4 said.

"LUCKY PONY CHANNEL!" Diamond Tiara said,, "Good lucky, I'm Diamond Tiara, this is the second episode of Lucky Pony Channel, I'm going all out! ok, next to me we have my best friend, Silver Spoon, take it away!" Diamond said, "I'm Diamond Tiara's best friend, Silver Spoon, I'm just starting out, so please remember my name." she said shyly, "Clap clap clap!" Diamon Tiara smiled, clapping her hooves, "Ok, this segment's just starting out but we already have an eruption of messages from everypony, I'm so pumped up!" Diamond said, "This is really something, I guess you could call this an indiction of Diamond's popularity." Silver Spoon said, at this Diamond looked annoyed and this got Silver nervous, "Uh..." she said, "I saw today's episode, you were in it weren't you?"Diamond asked, Silver gulped, "W-well they were gracious to put me in." Silver said with a nervous smile, "Whatever, what part were you in?" Diamond asked, "Oh uh..." Silver said getting a script out, "Scene 45, part A, the scene in class after vacation." she said, "Oh, now I remember." Diamond said, "You didn't have much of a presence so i forgot." she said, "Well I only had one line this time." Silver said.

"What? not good enough for you?" Diamond growled, making Silver jump, "No, not at all!" Silver said, "Not sure a newbie should be acting that way." Diamond said, "You know, back when I debuted..." she said, "Debuted, how old were you back then?" Silver asked, "3. I was happy to get any lines back then, quantity isn't the issue." she said, "You're right, my nerves were a wreck after being around so many veterans, it was an educational experience." Silver said, "you were pretty stuff, stiff as a board." Diamond said, "'Ooh look I'm an amateur, you know what, that was way too yeah, do it again." Diamond said, "Here?" Silver asked, "There's a chance you'll appear again right?" Diamond asked, "Then start practicing I'm offering you help!" she said, "yes Diamond, please help me!" Silver said, "Give me the script." Diamond said, Silver handed it to her and she read it, "Ok, I'll be Cheerilee." she said, "And...ACTION! hello class, did you have a fun vacation? but then again you had b-b-..." Diamond said "Bunches." Silver said, "Bunches of homework and a test right after vacation, so you couldn't have been having fun the whole time." Diamond said, 'it barely felt like a vacation." Silver said, Diamond glared at her and dropped the script, "What was that?" she asked, "No good at all." she said, "You gotta feel it, you gotta feel it right here!" Diamond said gesturing to her chest, "Sorry..." Silver said, "If you're gonna read your lines like that, a monkey could do better." Diamond said, just then the theme played, "huh? aww we're out of time, time just flies when you're happy right?" Diamond asked cutely, "Until then, just send your comments or question about the show, bye bye!" Diamond said, "See you next time." Silver said then the title card popped up.

"So what were the regulars like?" Diamond asked

"What do you mean?" Silver asked.

"You know does it look like anypony's gonna get knocked off?" Diamond asked, "weren't they all fighting?" she asked.

"No it doesn't seem like-" Silver said.

"Then you're supposed to-!" Diamond said but the screen turned black.
