F3: *Landing back home* Okay I can understand getting zapped by a lightning bolt out of nowhere but landing in a rift between space and time was completely random.
Pinkie*Landing next to me* and what was with the two dragons there anyway. They were nothing but a couple of meanies.
F3: *Looks toward reader* Oh hey folks well it looks like we are finally at episode 20 which means after this one I'll have only the season finale to handle. Fireuser3 and I'll see you at the finish line.
Episode 20: Friendship Through The Ages
It was a quiet night in the little town and too think such a little town would have so many things happen. The most recent event was Princess Luna's birthday party that was held a week ago and from the letter Trixie received from her mentor Princesses Celestia that her sister has been doing quite well thanks to Coco Pommel.
But even though it was a quiet night doesn't mean that nightmares are just around the corner. Especially for Trixie, she was tossing a turning in the comfort of her bed trying to get comfortable but to no avail. Why? Because of the nightmare she was having; the very same nightmare she's been having over and over again which involved an old friend Twilight Sparkle with Trixie's crown and her new friends beaten and unmoving.
Trixie's eyes spread wide and screamed "GAH!" she screamed unfurling the covers jolting upward. Her breaths were fast short bursts and she was sweating up a storm in the process. Trixie quickly looked around the room before giving a relieving sigh.
Then she placed her head back on the pillow looking at the ceiling of her home/library "Why does that same nightmare haunt me?" She thought
"Looks like I may not get any sleep tonight." She thought again then turned on her side covered herself with the blanket and close her eyes try and get some sleep.
The next morning came quickly and as Trixie thought she didn't get much sleep at all. She woke up her mane and tail was all in disarray and she had bags under her eyes. Getting out of bed was a little tasking but she was able to steady herself before walking over to the bathroom to do her daily routine.
Once in the bathroom she looked at herself in the mirror. She immediately took the brush in her magic and began to brush out her messy mane and tail before she moved on to other necessities before starting the day. About ten minutes later she came out of the bathroom looking better than she was before.
She went downstairs to find Spike with an already prepared breakfast and Halyn resting on a perch Trixie bought. "Prepared you some breakfast I thought you would never wake up." Spike said.
Trixie sighed "Sorry Spike it's just a bit of a slow start for me today." Trixie replied
"That same nightmare again huh?" Spike guessed arms crossed.
"Yep and it every time it just keeps getting worse." Trixie replied.
"Why don't you eat up and see you friends. You were planing to spend time with them today." Spike suggested.
"Well it's better than thinking about my dream all day." Trixie said her mood brightening.
After a well hearty breakfast Trixie walk to the town trying to find her friends. "Huh everything is surprisingly quiet today." Trixie said aloud. Looked around seeing AJ's apple stand with only a few customers she was serving, nothing out of the ordinary there.
"I wonder where my friends could be?" She asked aloud only to get in response was something shocking her in the tail that sends a jolt up her spine making her jump.
She looked back at her tail and noticed a charcoal black spot on her tail, and then what came was a fit of laughter from above her. She looked up and noticed a brilliant gold mane and tail along with a turquoise coat.
Trixie glared up at the mare"Lightning Dust was that really necessary." Trixie stated.
The pegasi stopped her laughing "Hey it looked like you needed some cheering up plus I didn't hit any of you vitals." Lightning spoke.
She gave an annoyed sigh face hooving "Well you should be a little more careful." She lectured
"Okay, just thought you needed a jump start or something." Lightning countered.
"Moving off topic." Trixie began
"Have you seen the others lately?" Trixie questioned
"Oh there they've gone by the park to hangout. Wanna come?" Lightning asked
"Well I've been meaning to have more time for them. Let's go." Trixie smiled and they both quickly sprinted or in Lightning's case flew toward the park.
They arrived at the park in minutes and noticed that the girls were there including Pen and Emerald playing catch with a beach ball they've brought with them.
Cheerliee saw Lightning and Trixie approach them "Hey girls glad you came to join us." Cheerliee smiled
"So I take it everypony had a great week so to speak." Coco asked
"If you define great as in stressful and time consuming; then yes." Sunset replied.
"A day after Luna's party I had a lot of catching up to do with my clients and also interviewing new clients for tutoring secession plus handling the house to make sure it's up to date." She gave out a groan
"Sometimes honest work can have its perks and disadvantages." Sunset said rubbing her horn.
"A sore horn again Sunny." Rainbow said and Sunset nodded
"Your lucky you're not a unicorn Dash otherwise you would know how I'm feeling right now." Sunset stated sourly.
"Well did anypony else had a great week?" Coco asked.
"Well other than me and Dash here complete a long waiting weather schedule so other than that it was a pretty good week." Lightning said proudly and gave Dash a hoofbump.
"Cheerliee? What about you?" Coco asked
"Well other from grading papers all week; the only thing I can take from this is sending time with my daughter and taking good care of her." Cheerliee smiled keeping a careful eye on Emerald
"But sometimes I worry about her."Cheerliee added.
Lightning Dust looked like she was in deep thought about something before she finally perked up "Hey girls do you remember when we first met?" Lightning smiled.
"Don't you mean the Summer Sun Celebration? That was months ago Lightning." Trixie answered as Lightning shook her head
"I don't mean that." She stated.
Sunset went wide eyed then smiled "Oh now I remember." She answered. Trixie and Coco looked at each other then back at the other four.
"Um what exactly are you talking about?" Coco asked
"This was way before you and Trixie came to town." Rainbow said
"Yes and I remember a certain somepony had just moved into Ponyville." Cheerliee said looking toward Dust.
"Hey can you blame me." Dust said.
-8 1/2 Years Ago. Ponyville Elementary School.-
Fillies and colts rushed inside the school before the bell could ring one in particular was running late and was in a hurry carrying her saddle bag and running as fast as her hooves could carry her. The one running was an earth filly about nine years old with a moderate cerise coat, a pale light grayish rose with light ceriseish gray striped mane and grayish harlequin eyes. This filly also didn't have her cutiemark, and this fillies name is Cheerliee.
"Oh of all days to be late." She said running as fast as she could. Then the school house was in her sites; she could make it and she did but she was still late. She quickly got to her classroom and noticed that the teacher had yet to arrive so she slowly slipped her way and taking her seat in the second row fifth seat next to another filly.
The one she's sitting by is a pegasi filly with a light sapphire bluish gray coat, light-pale grayish apple green mane, and moderate gamboge eyes. She too doesn't have a cutiemark but also her eyes were crossed. This filly went by the name of Derpy who was great friend of Cheerliee's.
"Hey Cheerliee what took you so long?" Derpy asked
"Sorry my alarm didn't go off like I wanted it to, and when I woke up I was late." She explained
"But more importantly where's the teacher?" Cheerliee asked
"Don't know but I heard from some of others that we're getting a new student today." She answered.
"A new kid. Filly or colt?" Cheerliee asked curiously
"Not sure." Just then the classroom door opened revealing the teacher
"But I guess we're about to find out." Derpy added.
The teacher is an earth pony mare with pale yellow coat, dark crimson with light crimson streaked mane, and light pistachio eyes. Her cutiemark is that of a dark red cherry with an equation written under it. The only thing the mare wore is a light pink scarf. The teachers name was Cherry Jubilee
"Morning class!" The mare smiled
"Good Morning Ms. Cherry." Ever filly and colt said.
"Today I would like you all to meet your new classmate." The teacher said going toward the door opening it to allow whatever was outside in
"C'mon don't be shy." She said motherly. At first nothing then a filly came walking in, a pegasi filly to be precise with a small saddle bag in tow.
The filly had a brilliant gold and amber streaked mane and tail along with a light turquoise coat. The filly had bright amber eyes to match her mane, and also the filly lacked a cutiemark. Cheerliee noticed that the new filly was very nervous being up in front of the class.
"Go on dreary introduce yourself." The teacher smiled. The filly nodded took a deep breath and let it out smiling at the class.
"My name's Lightning Dust. I hope to get to know all of you." Lightning said.
"Very good. Now please choose a place to sit so we can begin." She smiled as Lightning chose the empty seat just of the left of Cheerliee. Lightning sat her saddlebag next to her and took out some of the necessities for class; notebook, pencil, extra erasers, etc.
Cheerliee was curious about this filly even more now so she decided to speak up "Hi there." She spoke getting Lightning attention
"So your name's Lightning Dust." Cheerliee said and she nodded in response
"I'm Cheerliee." Then she gestured to her friend
"And this is my friend Derpy." She added getting a wave from Derpy
"Hello." She greeted.
"Um… Hi." Lightning said.
Cheerliee wanted to know more about this filly so she spoke again "Never seen you around town before. Did you just move here?" She asked and Lightning nodded
"Yeah just moved here." She answered
"Where did you move from?" Derpy asked.
The filly just sighed "Cloudsdale." She said half halfheartedly.
Cheerliee noticed this and decided to change the subject "Say how about you come and find us at recess. Maybe we could play together." Cheerliee said.
Lightning didn't know what to expect from her classmate but all that Lightning answered was "Sure… I guess." She said hesitantly.
Cheerliee beamed at her answer "Great maybe we could even be friends." She added as the younger Lightning was taken aback by her statement remembering somepony else.
"I'd rather doubt it." She mumbled to herself.
Class went on for about another hour before the foals were sent out to enjoy their recess. Cheerliee and Derpy were playing by the slides having a fun time laughing every time they went down the slides.
"Oh I never get tired of this don't you Derpy." Cheerliee smiled
"Nope never in a million years." She answered back they both laughed in excitement.
This is until somepony came and spoiled there fun "Having fun are we blank flanks?" A high voice rang out.
The two looked in front of them and noticed the filly in front of them. The filly was an earth pony with a pale to grayish pink coat, and two shades of moderate magenta and dark heliotrope mane, and very dark opal eyes that commanded authority. The filly also had a cutiemark of a diamond ring. This fillies name is known as Spoiled Rich.
"And what's that to you anyway? Leave us alone." Cheerliee stated firmly
"Oh I was wondering if you have what I asked for." Spoiled said check the back of her front hoof then glancing at Cheerliee.
"I told you I can't do that. My parents gave that to me as a gift." Cheerliee countered
"Oh really." She began then huffed
"Very well then you wouldn't mind if I told every filly here about your little… secret." She said with a smug look.
The statement she made froze Cheerliee where she stood "Y-You wouldn't." Cheerliee stuttered
"Oh I most certainly will." Spoiled rich replies a sly smile on her face as other foals began to gather around at the cause of the commotion. Derpy stepped in front of Cheerliee her little wings flaring out.
"Why don't you pick on some filly your own size?!" She shouted.
Spoiled then glared at Derpy "Did I ask you to talk crossed eyed freak?" She said in a more threatening tone.
The foals around them gave a collective gasp at what Spoiled just said. Derpy's eyes watered like she was going to cry and before she could let a drop fall she ran past Spoiled and the other foals in the area.
"Derpy wait!" Cheerliee called at was about to go after her but was stopped by Spoiled
"Oh don't you worry about her any… unless you want your little secret to get out." She said. Cheerliee was trapped between a rock and a hard place and she had no choice but to give in.
That is until some filly landed in front of them facing Cheerliee "Okay which one of you made Derpy cry?!" The filly shouted.
Cheerliee and many others (excluding Spoiled) recognized the new filly almost instantly "Lightning Dust? What are you doing?" Cheers asked.
"Well I was taking a nice nap under the tree over there and next thing I know I see Derpy balling her eyes out running toward the teacher and then I noticed the crowd over here and came over to catch the one who did it." Lightning explained.
"Excuse me but you are not involved in this conversation so I'll have to ask you to leave." Spoiled asked rudely.
Lightning took a look at the filly in front of them and blinked a few times before leaning into to whisper to Cheerliee.
"Who's the filly with mud for hair?" She whispered loudly as Cheerliee and other foals around them snickered and Spoiled glared offended at the comment.
"Excuse me do you know who you are talking to blank flank?" Spoiled said.
She blinked a few time at the fillies question "No. Should I know?" She said
"That's Spoiled Rich; her family owns Barnyard Bargains and the richest families in town." Cheerliee whispered to her
"Okay now I see." Lightning said.
"Now if you'll excuse me blank flank me and that other filly is having a discussion." Spoiled stated trying to move past Lightning
"Yeah; sorry but discussions over." Lightning stated getting in her way again.
"Why I never. You need to learn to respect the rich you ruffian." Spoiled said now getting frustrated.
"Actually you need to learn to respect and treat others how they want to be treated." Lightning countered.
She laughed at Lightning's statement "Me showing these lowlifes respect. I'm a Rich pony why should I show them respect? I'm above these ponies." She stated.
"Yeah but are you above… her." Lightning pointed behind her. Spoiled turned around and notice that Cherry Jubilee was standing right behind her along with Derpy.
"Spoiled Rich; care to tell me why Derpy came running to me crying her eyes out." Cherry said staring at the little filly
"Um… well… I." She tried to make words but unable.
Then the teacher turned to Derpy "Derpy dear why were you crying?" The teacher asked motherly.
"S-She called m-me a cr-crossed eyed –f-freak." Derpy stuttered trying to calm herself.
"It's okay you can go play with the rest of the foals." She said as she dismissed Derpy and the rest of the foals then she stared at Spoiled Rich.
"Now Spoiled I told you to stop picking on other foals." Cherry lectured then she let out a sigh
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to write a letter to you father about you behavior." She finished and Spoiled looked defeated then turned back to Lightning Dust
"This isn't over newbie. I'll be back and you're going to regret it." Spoiled threatened but Lightning just shook it off.
As Cherry was taking Spoiled back inside Cheerliee was impressed at the new filly "Wow I won't think anypony would stand up to her." Cheerliee stated
"Hey I just wanted to make Derpy happy again, and not so sad and unhappy." Lightning smiled.
"Um could I ask you something Lightning Dust?" Cheerliee asked
"Dusty." She said
"Huh?" Cheerliee asked
"My friends call me Dusty." She said. Cheerliee was taken aback at first by Lightning's claim
"Wait you think I'm your friend?" She questioned
"Yeah, your a great filly, and your kind to others from what I could tell." Dusty said.
"Um… thank you." Cheerliee smiled
"So what you wanted to ask?" She asked
"Oh I was wondering. I'm having a birthday party soon and I was wondering if you want to come?" Cheerliee asked.
"Hay yeah I am so there Cheers." Dusty cheered jumping in the air and hovering with excitement.
"Cheers?" Cheerliee asked confused.
"Your name's a bit of a mouthful so I just shorted it. That's all. You don't like it?" Dust asked.
Cheerliee shakes her head "No no no no. I do like it, and thank you. For giving me a chance that is." she replied.
"And from that point on we become great friends. Anytime Spoiled Rich bothered me or Derpy, Lightning Dust was there in an instant to help. But the most important thing is that Lightning Dust knows how to bring life to a boring room." Cheerliee smiled then let out a chuckle
"One time she 'accidentally' set off a party bomb in the classroom during Nightmare Night." Cheerliee said making Lightning Dust blush.
"C'mon Cheers your embarrassing me." She whined trying to hide her blush getting a laugh from the others.
"Wow you two had quite a time when you were little." Trixie commented.
"It seemed like you two became great friends alongside Derpy too." Coco smiled.
Sunset chuckled "Oh trust me you two haven't heard anything yet." Sunset stated.
"What about you Sunset how did you be a resident of Ponyville?" Trixie asked.
"Glad you asked Trixie it actually involved me and a certain other pegasi here." Sunset smiled looking at Rainbow as she remembered her time back in another part of Equestria.
-8 Years Ago. Vanhoover Train station.-
Three ponies were waiting in line at the train station for tickets. One of them was a Pegasi mare with a bright amber coat with navy blue with dark violet streaks in her mane that looked like it flowed when she moved. The mare eyes were also a dark hazel and the mare's cutiemark was that of a bright sun being covered by clouds. Her name is Violet Sunset who works as a forecast mare in Vanhoover.
The second one is a young stallion that is a unicorn with a bright red coat with bright yellow mane with crimson red streaks going through it. He has gray eyes and his cutiemark is that of a sword imbedded with the sun on the blade. His name is Bright Sun.
And lastly a unicorn filly with a bright orange coat with the inverted mane like the colts mane which is a crimson mane with yellow streaks going through looked like her mane was on fire which is flowed like the mares. The filly also seemed to lack a cutiemark on her flank. Her name is Sunset Shimmer, and she didn't look to happy to leave.
"Ugh! Ma do we really have to move." The filly complained but the mother mare gave a sigh
"I'm sorry Sunny but I was offered a better job in Ponyville, plus I think we could use a change of scenery and a chance for both of you to make some new friends." Violet said
"But I don't want to make new friends I want to stay here where my old friends are." Sunset whined.
The stallion placed a hoof on her shoulder "C'mon sis I'm sure it won't be that bad." Bright said as his younger sister looked up at him with sad eyes.
"Not you too bro." She whined. Before her brother could say anything else the ticket holder spoke out
"Train heading to Ponyville now arriving." And the train trailed to a stop.
Ponies exited the train so that other ponies could get on "Well this is our train." Violet said as they walked inside the train.
Once everypony was on board the train it whistled one final time and exited the train station platform.
It had already been ten minutes on the train and little Sunset was already bored out of her mind but her mother was excited for her new home.
"I hope the mover ponies know which house it is. We're going into uncharted territory. This is going to be a new experience for us." She smiled but Sunset was still upset about having to leave her old home and the friends that she had there.
Her brother saw this and wanted to cheer her sister up "Hey I think I know what'll cheer you up." He said lighting his horn in a gray aura and a small gray ball began to form and made it drop on top of her and once it touch her it sparkled into tiny stars.
It did make her smile a bit which was okay with him "Could you teach me that one day brother?" She asked
"Sure kiddo." He said.
It was another half hour before they arrived in the small town of Ponyville they exited the train and noticed that there aren't that many ponies about in the small town but once they exited somepony was waiting for them on the train platform.
He was unicorn stallion with grey eyes and a bright red coat with an electric blue mane with crimson streaks running through it. His cutiemark is that of a setting sun over some hills. His name is Highlight. He is also the husband to Violet Sunset and father to his two children.
He gave a bright smile when his family arrived "I take it you all had a nice trip from Vanhoover." He said his voice sounding wiser than his actual age.
"Daddy!" Sunset squealed and jumped straight toward him embracing him in a hug.
"Hey there my little fireball." He laughed
"I'm guessing you all want to see the new home." He smiled and they all nodded. They all proceeded down the street also getting waves and friendly nods from the towns' ponies.
They arrived at a two story home with two sets of windows on lower floor and four sets on the upper floor. They also saw the mover ponies carrying the families' things inside their new home.
"Hey Bright how about to take little Sunset around the town so you two can get used to it while we take care of things here." Highlight suggested.
"Sure thing. C'mon Sunny." He said taking Sunset to show her around town. They began to explore the town catching in the sights and the multiple buildings that are spread out and at the center of the whole town was a three story building which was the Town Hall.
"What do you think of the town so far sis?" Bright questioned but her sister looked unimpressed
"This town seems a little crowded in my opinion." She answered back
"Oh c'mon sis give the town a chance who knows it might just grow on you." He stated but she just rolled her eyes..
After looking around town they went back home. Everything was already set up and Sunset had claimed a room upstairs so that it wouldn't be a fuss to choose.
Time went on and it was now about three o'clock and the family was just settling in as Violet was getting some snacks prepared, Bright was teaching Sunset a new spell while Highlight was reading a newspaper when a knock came from there door.
"Huh? Now who could that be at this hour?" Highlight questioned and went to the door and opened it.
What he saw surprised him "Can I help you ponies?" He asked.
The ponies at the front door in question were pegasi. One was a pegasi stallion with a light grayish Persian blue coat with moderate gamboge eyes and a rainbow mane and tail that seemed to be in a messy state. His cutiemark is that of a rainbow streak heading toward a cloud.
The other is a pegasi mare with a pale indigo coat with light fuchsia gray with light cerise streaked mane and tail that seemed to poof out a bit and along with moderate cerise eyes and her cutiemark is that of a rainbow arc.
The last one was a pegasi filly who was on the stallions back. The filly had a cyan coat along with moderate cerise eyes like the mare and a rainbow colored mane and tail in a messy state just like that stallions. She also had a cutiemark was that of a raincloud shooting out a rainbow colored lightning bolt.
The mare seemed to be carrying something on her back "Oh hello there. We don't want to be a bother but we heard that some new ponies moved into town and we wanted to check it out for ourselves." The mare said
"Guess you were right hon." The stallion added.
"Well you guessed right because we just moved in just today." Highlight said before turning his head to get families attention
"Everypony we have visitors." He announced as the family met at the door but Sunset hid behind her mom.
"My names Highlight I'm currently working at the town hall here." He introduced
"This is my wife Violet Sunset she's working on the weather team now." He smiled
"Glad to meet you both." Violet smiled as the son step forth
"I'm Bright Sun. I'm training to be in the guard someday." He beamed and then Sunset peered out behind moms back hoof.
"C'mon don't be shy sweetie." She encouraged Sunset and she came out behind her mom at sat on her haunches.
The mare almost fainted from looking at Sunset "Aw she's so cute I just want to give her a big hug like a teddy bear." The mare squealed.
The stallion gave a nervous chuckle "Um honey let's not be rude here." He added.
The mare realized what she was doing and stopped immediately "Oh right where are my manners? What's your name sweetie?" The mare asked.
Sunset was hesitant at first but spoke up "Um… Sunset Shimmer ma'am." She answered as did a little bow
"Not just cute but polite too." The mare added.
"My names Rainbowshine. I work for the weather team in Ponyville. So I guess I can show you the ropes Violet." Rainbowshine added.
"That would be much appreciated." Violet smiled.
"This is my loyal husband Rainbow Blitz he's works up in Cloudsdale at the weather factory." She introduced
"Glad to know you all." Blitz said.
"And this is our little filly Rainbow Dash." She gestured as the filly jumped off the fathers back and onto the ground
"Hey yah." She said her voice sounding tough.
"She's going to be a wonderbolt someday." Rainbowshine added.
"Well that's great." Violet added.
"Oh I almost forgot why we're here." Rainbowshine took the object off her back which turned out to be a small box then she proceeded to open said box to reveal a pie of some sorts
"To welcome you into the neighborhood; my famous thousand island pie!" She smiled.
"Made with caramel, flour, milk, eggs, and my own secret ingredient." She added.
"Hon let's not overwhelm the new ponies." Blitz added.
"Well we thank you for the gift and I'm sure it'll be delicious as well." Highlight smiled.
Before they made their leave Blitz came up with an idea "How about we schedule a play date with Dashy and Sunset sometime? So they could get use to each other." Blitz said.
Violet and Highlight pondered his idea for a minute before they answered. "That would sound like a good idea." Bright added
"It'll be good for Sunset and maybe you two could be friends." He added.
"What do you think Sunny?" Violet asked
"Um… sure I guess." Sunset said rather unsure about it.
"Awesome!" Dash shouted
"We're going to be best buds before you know it." She added.
"Yeah… can't wait." Sunset says forcing a smile.
"Well we must be going. Have a day!" Rainbowshine cheered. Dash hopped on her father's back and they took off toward their home.
The day went on as usual getting their house as homey as it should be. Hours past and so did dinner and everypony decided to retire for the night. The next morning Violet had to be at her new job and meet up with Rainbowshine while Highlight had to be off to town hall with his job.
As for Bright Sun and Sunset they were at the park so that Bright could teach her some new spells.
"Okay Sunset you ready?" He question
"Yes! Ready as I'll ever be." Sunset replied back
"Okay were going to start with basic levitation magic." Bright stated bringing out a small rock
"A rock?" Sunset questioned.
"Trust me you want to start with something smaller you don't want to overexert your horn." He added.
"Okay let's start by concentrating manna into your horn." He instructed
"Okay no problem." Sunset said confidently; she closed her eyes and lit her horn in a turquoise aura.
"Okay now just concentrate on the rock right in front of you. Picture it lifting itself off the ground."Bright instructed.
Sunset did what was told and pictured the little rock floating in middle air but unbeknownst to her that instead of the little rock float was a much more larger rock more like a boulder size one was being lifted from the ground just a few feet behind them.
"Anything yet?" She said sweating a little bit
"No but keep at…" He looked up for a second to notice the boulder behind moving.
"Whoa!" He yelled causing Sunset to lose her concentration also causing the boulder to smash into the ground making the ground quake a little.
"Hey why'd you do that for?" She whined.
"Sis look behind you." He said pointing his hoof behind her to see that the boulder was almost near them. Sunset was surprised that it was almost two feet away from them and saw a big hole where the boulder was originally at.
"Did I do that?" She asked and he nodded
"Wow I didn't know I could lift that thing." Sunset complemented herself.
They were about to leave the park when a rainbow and cyan blur came flying by landing on the ground hard.
"That must be Rainbow Dash, let's see if she's okay." Bright said as they both went to check on the filly Dash. They found her stepping out of a prickle bush with prickle balls all over her coat.
"Okay that could've gone better then planed." Rainbow said trying to shake off the prickle balls off her coat but no luck. She then spotted Bright Sun and Sunset Shimmer coming toward her
"Oh hey Mr. Sun, hey Sunset." Rainbow said
"You okay there; nothing broken." Bright asked and Rainbow nodded.
"It'll take more than this to hold me down." She said with confidence but then looked back on her coat
"But I could use some help to get these off." She added.
"Why were you flying around anyway?" Sunset asked
"Duh training for one day to join the Wonderbolts." She answered then her eyes beamed
"One day I'll fly with them." She beamed.
"Well how about we go to our and get those things off you." Bright said and she agreed. Once they got to Sunset home they took off all the prickles balls from Dash's coat
"Thanks for that. Feels much better without these hanging on your wings all the time." Dash thanked.
"No problem." Bright added then he got an idea
"Say how about two go play outside." He began
"But what about our magic lesson?" Sunset whined.
"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, plus I've got some work to take care of." Bright added as he shooed the two fillies out the door. The two looked at each other
"Your brothers nice." Rainbow complemented
"I guess you can say that but sometimes he can get on my nerves." She said.
"Say how about we play a game?" Rainbow asked excitingly
"A game. Like what?" Sunset questioned
"I don't know. Anything that comes to that little mind of yours." Rainbow said
"Hey I'll have you know I'm smarter than an average foal." Sunset said.
Then Rainbow got a smug grin on her face "Well if you're so smart then maybe you can calculate this…" Rainbow said then tapped Sunset's muzzle with her hoof
"Tag! You're it!" She cheered and then took off before Sunset knew what happened.
Sunset then realized what happened "Oh you're so on." She said and gave chase after Rainbow Dash.
Her brother looked on with a happy smile "Still got it." He smiled.
It was a few hours before they were both tuckered out and tired lying on the soft cool ground both of them panting heavily from the long game and chase on both sides.
"Wow… you are… fast." Sunset said between breaths
"Yeah… told yah… so." Rainbow added then she busted out laughing
"That was a blast we had huh?" She smiled
"Yeah you can say that." Sunset smiled as well.
"How about we head home pal?" Rainbow said which got Sunset attention
"Pal? But we just met yesterday." She said confused
"What did you want me to say? Buddy, partner, friend." Rainbow said stopping a moment at the last word nodding to herself.
"Yeah I think friend would do. So how about it friend?" She said.
At first Sunset was hesitant but then she nodded "Sure… friend." Sunset smiled back as they both headed to their respective homes.
From then on Sunset and Rainbow had their own adventures and who knows what other adventures were to come.
"Oh that was the good days huh Sunny." Rainbow smiled from remembering
"Yeah it sure was." Sunset began with a smile
"But eventually we found Cheerliee and Lightning Dust and we made our own group and gained our cutiemarks on the way. A year later mom was pregnant with Pendragon and my brother went off to the guard and dad took care of me when he wasn't working." Sunset added smiling.
"We all had good adventures and made good friends along the way." Cheerliee added
"And no matter what happens we've always got each other's back." Lightning continued.
"Sure there were some major bumps in the road but we got through them together." Rainbow continued.
"Wow I think I'm glad now that I've decided to stay in Ponyville." Trixie said
"So that I can enjoy the adventures we have together." She added smiling bringing each other into a group hug.
