I was sitting on my bed with my laptop at my side. All of the girls had long since gone to bed. It was something like four in the morning, and I was sitting there staring at my desktop. It wasn't like this was abnormal. I wasn't much for sleeping. I had recently been put on stimulant medication, so that helped a bit, but with all that I had been thinking about I found it hard to even close my eyes.

The strange Skype noise perked me out of my daze and an orange glow lit up my screen. I clicked on Skype to see my friend, Kendall, had sent me a YouTube video. I opened up Skype, eager to talk to her about what had happened today. I began typing, but then hesitated. It wasn't like she was just going to believe me.

I clicked on the video, curious about what she could be sending me this late at night. YouTube opened up and revealed a picture of Celestia and Luna both looking up into the night sky. I looked down at the title of the video: Do you want to see the Moon Rise. The familiar tune of 'Do You want to build a Snowman' danced throughout the room. I smiled, Frozen was so great. I then heard a small child voice come into the music, and I felt my heart melt.

"Tia! Tia! Doth thou want to see the moon rise?"

I returned to Skype, still listening to the music, and typed in, "You can't be doing this to me right now. *cries self to the moon*"

"I didn't need my heart, thank you," she replied.

I continued to listen to the song, nearly rolling off my bed as Celestia began singing.

"I can't handle this feel," I groaned out loud, clenching my heart.

"Olly?" I heard a voice ask, "You okay?"

I quickly jumped up and paused the song playing on my computer. I turned to see Twilight standing in my doorway, a shocked expression planted on her face.

"Yea, yea I'm fine!" I smiled at her nervously.

"You didn't seem fine…" She pondered, walking into my room and sitting on my bed.

"Really, I'm fine. No big deal."

"What's a 'feel'?" she asked curiously but seriously.

I laughed to myself, "Its slang. It was developed on a website called 'Tumblr' where people post pictures and other things about stuff their interested in, such as My Little Pony. It's a shortened version of the word 'feelings', but 'feel' actually means like… a huge brick of sadness hitting you in the chest."

"That's… a strange analogy…" she whispered.

"Have you ever read a book that had a really sad ending?" I asked, deciding to give an example, "And you didn't exactly cry, but you felt like you could've if you tried, and it like made your heart break."

"Yea…" she replied cautiously.

"That pain you felt in your heart is what we call a 'feel'. And if it's something REALLY sad, you can experience multiple feels."

"I think I get it… but why were you experiencing feels?" she asked.

I shook my head, I would have to work on Tumblr slang eventually, but maybe another time, "Well… fans of My Little Pony like to create their own content. Such as writing their own stories, songs, etc."

"And you felt sad because of one of these?"

"Well… yea. It was a really sad song. Don't get me wrong, it was beautiful and I'm seriously considering downloading it onto my phone so I can listen to it more, but it was really sad."

"Can I listen?" she asked.

I flinched, "I dunno, Twilight. I mean, before today, this was all a made-up story to me… since the event actually happened in your world…"

"I will not experience too many feels. Pinkie promise."

I nearly laughed; defiantly need to work on that, "Okay, fine. But if you need me to turn it off, please just let me know."

I opened up YouTube again and started the song. Twilight's eyes widened at the picture of Celestia and Luna, and then she seemed to go into a trance as the music started.

"Doth thou want to see the moon rise?"

I cautiously eyed Twilight as the song played, making sure that she didn't go into some panic attack or something. I cringed as Celestia's hurt cry for Luna echoed throughout my room, and the song ended in a few minutes. I saw Twilight move away from the computer, tears brimming her eyes.

"I… I had no idea…," she started.

In a flash, I pulled her into an embrace and allowed her to cry into my shoulder. I knew it had been a terrible idea. Twilight was so close to the princesses, especially since she had recently become a princess herself. Hearing them both hurt like that had to be hard.

"I'm sorry, Twilight," was all I could say.

I allowed her to cry for quite a while, and eventually the room dumbed down to an awkward silence between the two of us. Suddenly, she looked up at me and broke the silence.

"Why are you awake, Olly?"

The question took me by surprise, "I guess I should be asking you the same thing. You went to bed hours ago. Everyone else is asleep."

"I'm not really sure," she replied glumly, "I just woke up, and I started thinking. Rarity was asleep and… well I guess I just felt like I needed to talk to someone."

I nodded, "Well, here I am. What do you want to talk about?"

She raised an eyebrow at me; I could tell she wasn't going to give up that easily, "Why are you up, Olly?"

I shrugged, "I never really went to sleep."

"What? Why not?"

"I dunno," I shrugged again; "I don't usually sleep very much anyway."

I could tell she wanted to question me further about it, but I gave her a tired look that said not to ask, so she changed the subject.

"I was thinking about Spike," she sighed.

"Oh yea…" I pondered, "How did you guys get here, anyway? Was he with you?"

"No, he wasn't," she sighed bashfully, "I was studying in the Canterlot library recently about Canterlot High. I found a strange spell that I didn't recognize, and I guess I accidentally read it out loud. Next thing I knew, we were all waking up in that forest…"

My mind suddenly flashed back to the Equestria Girls movie, "Oh yea… you have already been here, haven't you?"

"I… don't think so," she confirmed, "At first I thought this was the same world, when I saw that we all had hands, but something just seems so different about it."

"That makes sense. The Equestria Girls movie was animated, and they all had strange skin colors compared to n-," I stopped myself from saying the word 'normal', "… our species of humans. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a completely different universe."

Twilight yawned slightly, and tiredly looked out the window, "I'm not even sure how to get back. I don't have my horn, and there isn't a portal back to Equestria that I know of."

"I'm sure you'll find a way. I'll help you. No matter how long it takes, we'll find a way to get you back home."

She smiled sadly, "Thanks, Olly."

"Olly! Wakey-wakey!" a high-pitched voice echoed through my room.

I sat up with a jolt and looked around. What time was it? I turned to see that Twilight had already gotten out of my bed. I couldn't remember when she had left my room, or what time I'd fallen asleep, but I did feel refreshed. That was probably the most sleep I'd gotten in a long time.

I turned and looked at my clock; eleven thirty.

"Whoa!" I shouted, and turned to the voice at the door, "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"

"Twilight said not to, somethin' about you needing sleep," Pinkie said casually, bouncing into the room, "But there's someone at the door!"

My eyes widened and I threw the covers off of me. Pinkie laughed as I slid on a presentable shirt and rushed passed her.

"Go Olly, go!" she cheered from my bedroom door.

I slid down the stairs and nearly face-planted into the window next to the front door. As expected, I spotted a broken up, run down white car parked in front of my house, and my friend Robby was standing at the front door with a casual smirk on his face.

Robby was a bit of a character. He had medium length, strawberry blonde hair and a lanky figure. He tended to be a bit scatterbrained, not unlike myself, and he had a very unique pitched voice. It wasn't high-pitched, but it wasn't low either.

Without thinking, I threw the door open, "Robby, I need to tell you something."

"Oh, hello," he responded bluntly, as if he didn't even realize he was standing at my door, "What's up?"

"You're not gonna believe me," I retracted a bit, "But something… magical… happened."

Robby looked extremely confused, and I motioned for him to step inside the house.

"Robby," I started cautiously, "The mane six are in my house. Right now."

We stared at eachother for a minute, but then Robby laughed his signature laugh. I wasn't sure if he didn't believe me or didn't understand, so I explained the situation to him. I explained how I found them… or rather; they found me, in the forest the day before. Robby had a strange smile planted on his face the entire time, making me uneasy.

"So now they're here," I finished, "And we need to go shopping."

Robby simply laughed again, before spying a certain pink-haired girl at the top of the stairs, waving down at us as if it were normal.

"Hiya!" Pinkie shouted.

Robby just stared at her for a second, seemingly processing this new development. Suddenly, the reality of the situation hit him, and his eyes widened just a bit.

"Oh? Oh!" he started shouting, "OH!"

I nodded, "Yea, I wasn't kidding. Anyway, turns out they only come with one outfit… false advertising from Hasbro if you've ever seen it."

"So we're going to the mall, then?" he said casually. He seemed to have gotten over the situation pretty quick.

"Yea… is that okay with you? I promise it won't take too long."

"I don't mind," he shrugged, "Except they won't all fit in my car."

My expression dropped; I had completely forgotten to think thought the numbers, "That's right… only three can go if we both go…"

"I have an idea," Twilight walked down the hallway toward us, "I'm Twilight Sparkle, by the way."

At this, Robby just laughed again. Unable to contain his amusement, he leaned back against the front door and took a few breaths.

"I'm sorry," he panted, "Okay, what's the idea."

"Um…," Twilight started again slowly, "Three of us could go first, and you drop us off with Olly, then you could take the other three and meet us there."

I cringed a bit, "That's a lot of driving… you okay with that, man?"

"Yea, I guess that's fine," he stood up straight again, "But I have to stop for gas on the way there."

"Dude, you're awesome," I punched him in the shoulder. He simply smiled and glanced around.

"Okay, so, who's coming along first?"

There was a while of discussion, along with me shoveling down an insanely quick breakfast and finding some decent clothes to wear to the mall. Apparently, the girls had already been up for hours, and they were all set and ready to go. Why Twilight told them to let me sleep in; I'll never know. But it caused quite a bit of panicked rush as I tried to get ready.

"I think Fluttershy should stick with you," Robby was saying as I combed my hair, "She'd be more comfortable at least."

"I guess so," I replied, trying to decide which way I wanted to part my bangs, "But she's shy around me anyway."

"Then we'll pair her up with someone close," he shrugged, "Like Rarity."

"Good idea," I replied, "That leaves one more."

He raised an eyebrow at me and smirked. I finished combing my hair and turned to him with a confused expression.

"What?"

"You're not gonna suggest Applejack?"

My cheeks turned a shade of pink and I leaned in close to him, "We do not speak of that. It was one thing when she had no idea I existed, but I have a girlfriend."

He just laughed and turned to the balcony, "Okay! We're ready to go! Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack are coming along first!"

I growled, "Asshole."

I walked down the stairs and walked up to Twilight, who was busy studying the human world on my laptop.

"You sure you guys are gonna be okay? He'll be back to get you in an hour max," I checked in while reading over her shoulder.

"Relax, kid," Rainbow said, coming out of the kitchen, "We've got everything under control."

"Don't worry, Olly," Twilight smiled up at me, "I'll make sure everything goes smoothly until we leave in an hour."

"Okay," I sighed, "I'll see you guys at the mall."

I walked down the hallway again and began to walk out the door, "Bye, Pinkie Pie!" I shouted to the upstairs.

"Buh Bye Olly!" I heard a voice shout back.

Satisfied, I followed the other four out the door and we all piled into Robby's car. The thing was run down, old, and broken in some places. It was a white, forty-seven year old car. The air conditioning didn't work, it had manual windows, both the front and back bumpers were falling off, and the thing barely accelerated. But it ran, and that was all that mattered.

"So, how does this thing work, exactly?" Applejack asked while climbing into the back seat with Rarity and Fluttershy.

"There's a thing called an engine inside," I explained, "Once Robby turns this key, it stars, and we can go pretty much anywhere on dry land pretty quickly."

Fluttershy nervously clenched Rarity's sleeve, and I grinned, "Don't worry, Fluttershy. After you get used to it, you can barely feel yourself moving. And Robby is a very safe driver."

Fluttershy nodded, but she still refused to let go of Rarity. I nodded at Robby and he begun to pull out of my street and onto the road. I looked in the rearview mirror to see Fluttershy with her eyes closed tightly, and the other two with expressions of half nervousness and half amazement. I casually leaned back and watched the roads go by.

"How you guys holdin' up back there?" Robby asked the rearview mirror.

"This is defiantly… somethin'," Applejack said in a daze, while both Rarity and Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

After a while of seemingly silent driving, we arrived at the mall. Robby and I agreed on a time and place to meet when he arrived with the other three girls, and the four of us headed inside.

There were two malls nearest to our neighborhood; one being indoors and one being outdoors. No matter what the season, I always tended to prefer the indoor mall. Something about it made me more comfortable. We walked in through the double doors to reveal a large food court, with different restaurants lining the walls and a carousel spinning off to the side.

"Oh… my…" Fluttershy coward as she caught sight of all the people sitting around at the tables.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy," I grinned, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Just stay close to me. I know where I'm going, and no one will talk to you if you don't want them to."

She nodded and shuffled closer to me. I smiled and began making my way out into the common area. The mall was filled with different stores. I wouldn't call it the biggest mall in the world, but I liked to think the size was pretty decent. The upper floor was simply a ring of balconies overlooking another common area down below, which consisted of more stores, some small booths, and a large fountain.

"This place is incredible," Rarity marveled, taking in the sight of the whole mall.

"I like to spend a good amount of my time here," I mused, "I usually don't do much shopping, but it's fun to hang around and people watch."

"So, what're we gonna do 'till Robby and the others get here?" Applejack perked up.

I looked around; what was there to do casually with a bunch of ponies? I mean, they'd have to learn to be humans eventually, but I couldn't just jump right into it, could I?

"I actually come here a ton without knowing what I want to do," I thought out loud, "I usually just walk around until I get an idea."

And so, we did just that. The four of us made decent conversation, simply walking in circles around the large mall. A couple of times, they would ask me questions about the escalators, the moving advertisements, the music coming from many of the stores, etc.

Before we knew it, and hour had already passed. I was quickly growing used to having the three girls around me. They were like long lost friends, and they were so easy to talk to. I had known them for such a long time; we just never had the chance to actually speak to eachother before.

"Where exactly did Robby say he was going to meet us?" Rarity asked.

"Over in that one weird lounge area," I replied tiredly.

They all raised eyebrows at me, but I just shrugged it off and walked across the mall, making sure they were keeping in toe. We arrived at a small area circled with couches. I stepped down and fell back on a couch.

"We just wait here till they show up," I yawned.

"Olly? Are… are you okay?" Fluttershy mumbled.

I sat up, "Yea, I'm fine. Why?"

The three seemed to cautiously glance at eachother before Rarity spoke, "Well, Twilight spoke to us about how she found you awake all night. And you do seem rather tired."

I laughed a bit and waved it off, "Don't worry about it, guys. I don't sleep much in general. If something was wrong, I would be way more out of it than I am now."

"Listen, sugarcube," Applejack sat down next to me. I nearly had to cover my mouth to hide how red my cheeks were.

"I know we only jus' met eachother, but you've at least known us fer a while now," she started, scooting close to me.

I smiled, "Nearly four years now. I've been watching the show since the summer of seventh grade."

Her eyes seemed to widen in shock from this statement, but she shook it off and got back on topic, "If there's ever anythin' wrong, don't be scared to talk to us. We been here for ya this long; we won't abandon ya just cuz we're here in person."

It took me a second to process what she had just told me, but a small grin crept across my face all the same, "Thanks."

Applejack seemed satisfied with this reply, and she casually let herself slump into the couch, followed by the other two girls. I couldn't stop thinking about what Applejack had just said. It made me feel so… weirdly happy. I wasn't sure if it was because it was Applejack, or because no one had ever directly said something like that to me before, but I felt good.

I snapped out of my daze to see Robby casually walking toward us with that strange spring in his step he always seemed to have. Behind him was Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash and… Kendall?

Kendall was a senior in high school, same age as Robby; and a bit shorter than the group she was walking with. Heck, she's a bit shorter than I am. She had short, chestnut brown hair and light freckles. From a distance, she seemed to walk with the most formal posture you'd ever see from a teenage girl. Up close, however, she was nearly as cocky as the rest of us. Not as dumb and reckless, but defiantly as cocky.

As soon as she made eye contact with me, a foolish glare painted her face and she started taking faster strides. I immediately sprang up from my spot on the couch and hid behind a nearby plant.

"You didn't tell me?" she yelled, still about fifteen feet away.

"I didn't think you'd believe me if I just Skyped it to you," I yelled back, not moving from my spot.

"Who's the one that came up with the head canon about how they could get here?"

"It didn't even happen that way!" I began to come out from my hiding, but the confusion on the girl's faces made me want to play along a little longer.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" I shouted. She looked up at me in confusion, and then I gestured toward Robby.

"I call Rainbow, Robby, Twilight and Applejack on my team!" I yelled out. Robby gave me a knowing smile and grabbed Rainbow and Twilight. I jumped out from behind the plant and grabbed Applejack.

"What in the hay is goin' on?" Applejack asked me in complete bewilderment.

"Wee! I get Kendall on my team!" Pinkie shouted.

"We're playing war," I laughed, "You're on our team."

"Hey, wait a second," Kendall said in shock, "The only time I've ever tried to play this; we got kicked out of the mall!"

"Sucks for you, Ma!" I laughed as Robby and the two other girls ran to my side.

"Wait, 'Ma'?" Twilight asked.

"I'll explain another time," I said in a restless voice, "We gotta run!"

"Rarity! Fluttershy! Grab them!" Kendall shouted, still completely unsure of the rules of the game.

Before the two could even react, Robby and I had jumped up behind the plant again and ran into Macy's, dragging our team along with us as we did so. We stumbled through the many hallways and finally decided on hiding within a clothing rack. Robby and I both laughed to our hearts content, and the other three uneasily laughed along with us.

"So… why'd you call her 'Ma'?" Twilight asked again.

"I don't really remember how it started," I admitted, "She's a couple years older than me… and we go to the same school. She's always kinda keeping track of me… so one day I just started calling her mom, I guess."

The reactions I got were almost… sympathetic? I shook my head. I didn't want to deal with that type of thinking right now.

"Weren't we here to find clothes for them?" Robby asked suddenly.

"We'll head up the escalator," I shot back, "That way we can sneak out of Macy's and into another department store. We can start buying for these three until they find us."

"Can somepony PLEASE explain to me what's going on?" Rainbow asked impatiently.

"SomeBODY," I corrected her in a hushed voice, "And war is a completely pointless game my friends and I sometimes play around the mall. The object is to find the other team and capture as many of them as possible. Also, don't get caught by the other team."

"Did I hear her say that ya got kicked out last time ya played this?" Applejack asked suspiciously.

"Yea…," I blushed, "But it totally wasn't my fault! We invited more people than we should have, and this stupid guy decided to go and get reckless. He sent a flying kick at my girlfriend's sister. The mall cops were watching, so THEY got kicked out."

"They?" Twilight asked, unamused.

"Yes, they," I sighed, "I was nowhere near them at the time. My friend Ruby and I were on the lower level trying to scout out a better base than the FroYo place in JCPenny's. Then Kendall called me to tell me that they got kicked out."

After a bit more of explanation behind the game, we cautiously made our way out of our hiding spot and up the escalators. Since the other team was nowhere in sight, we decided to start our shopping here. I decided on buying two outfits for each girl, plus new sleepwear. We would buy more as time went on, but I didn't want to spend more than five hundred in one trip.

I was glad I had chosen these three for my team; the shopping would defiantly get done a lot faster. Within twenty minutes, both Applejack and Rainbow had found an outfit they liked. Rainbow chose a light blue hoodie, a pair of black track-pants with a pink stripe down the side, and a hot pink T-shirt.

I looked over to Applejack and nearly laughed: she had chosen an orange and white plaid button-down shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans and a new cowboy hat. It was so Applejack I could hardly contain my amusement.

"Olly?" Twilight called from an isle over, "Can you come help me?"

I walked over to Twilight to see her examining the graphic tees. "I'm assuming you'll want a little purple in your outfit," I smiled as I walked up to her.

"I think so," She pondered, "But I'm still not sure exactly what to get."

I looked around, "What about that one?" I pointed to a purple and black striped collared shirt. It seemed to be about her size, and it was simple enough, and it would be easy to match a simple pair of jeans with.

"Hmm…" she stared at it for a minute.

I looked over and spotted a shelf of accessories. I searched through it for a bit, and managed to find a purple and silver headband lined with stars similar to Twilight's cutie mark.

"Hey Twilight!" I ran up to her again, "What do you think of this?"

A wide smile spread across her face, "It's beautiful, Olly!"

I blushed a bit; I admittedly wasn't the best at shopping, so this felt like a huge accomplishment to me. Before I had a chance to respond, I felt a pair of firm hands on my shoulders.

"Target captured!" I heard a familiar, high-pitched voice shout.

My eyes widened as I was lifted off the ground and pulled away from the isle.

"Twilight!" I yelled out, "Help!"

Twilight stood there in shock for a second, and then began to chase after us. I looked up at my captor, who had a silly smile on her face as she ran out of the Macy's. I looked back again to see Twilight had stayed behind, likely to keep the theft alarm from going off, and Robby was chasing us head on.

I threw Robby my credit card, "Buy their things! I'll try to find you guys later! Meet me at the base in Penny's!"

Robby stopped running and picked up the card, which allowed Pinkie to run into a nearby store and hide behind a wall. She covered my mouth to keep me from shouting, but she couldn't help laughing herself.

"That was so fun!" she tried to whisper, but it ended up coming out as kind of a squeak.

I shook my head and attempted to stand up, but she hugged me close to her again, "Nokey dokey! You're a prisoner now!"

"I know how the game works, Pinkie," I laughed, "I'm not allowed to leave unless it's with another team member. Whether it be my team or yours. You don't have to keep a hold on me."

She gave me a childish, suspicious look and allowed me to stand, but she kept a tight grip on my wrist just in case. I squirmed uncomfortably at this, but then took a breath and played along. Pinkie led me slowly out of the store and into the Panera nearby. I shook my head; it had been my first base.

"Very creative base, Kendall," I said sarcastically as we approached the table.

She gave an evil giggle as I slid into the booth next to her, and Pinkie slid in after me.

"We were just about to get a bunch of shopping done for the girls on my team," I grumbled, "I had to throw my credit card to Robby mid-chase."

Kendall let out a laugh, "Playing war was YOUR idea. I'm just playing the game."

I stuck my tongue out at her, "Well, we can't get anything else done until Robby finds us."

I suddenly got an idea and smirked, "We'll have to miss out on all those beautiful, well-designed clothes. I was just helping Twilight pick something out that just screamed Twilight."

"Really...," Rarity raised an eyebrow, biting her lip.

"Olly…," Kendall started suspiciously.

"Oh yea, and you should've seen Applejack's choice. I was almost afraid she wouldn't be able to find anything she liked, but she ended up picking out something BEAUTIFUL. The variety here is so great."

At this, Rarity sprang up and pulled Pinkie out of the booth, "You must take me to them!"

I shrugged, "We can't do anything until Robby finds us. That is, unless you let me go."

"Olly…," Kendall said again. But before she could do anything, Rarity had grabbed my hand and we both ran out of the Panera.

"Olly!" I heard her shout in the distance behind us. I laughed and ran ahead of Rarity a bit. JCPenny's was all the way across the mall, and I had a feeling we would have to try to outrun Pinkie. I looked back to find, to my surprise, all three of them running after us; Fluttershy inching just ahead of the other two.

"Rarity," I yelled to my side, "Has Fluttershy been known to be very fast?"

Rarity thought for a minute, "Yes, but only on certain occasions. She chooses not to run most of the time. Why do you ask?"

I looked back again, "Cuz she's right on our tail!"

The two of us panicked and ran a little faster. I saw the JCPenny's in the distance and pulled Rarity forward with a sudden spur of adrenaline. I held my breath through the perfume isle and ended up hiding us behind a wall near the changing rooms. I could still hear the voices of the other three clearly.

"They couldn't have come this way," I heard Kendall sigh, "Olly's allergic to perfume."

I noticed Rarity raise an eyebrow at this, so I responded puffing up my cheeks full of air, hoping to get the message across. She slowly nodded and we listened to the three walk somewhere else in the store.

"Okay," I panted, "They're gone."

"Where are the others?" she asked while standing up.

"Just," I took a deep breath, "Gimme a sec."

Rarity's eyes widened as she knelt down next to me, "Are you alright?"

"Yea, yea I'm fine," I panted again, "Just tired."

I felt her soft hand touch my shoulder, and I continued trying to calm my heart down. Neither of us said a word; she just continued to stare at me with that concerned face.

"Okay," I finally said, "I'm ready now."

"Are you quite sure?" she asked softly.

"Yea," I sprang to my feet, "The other's are in a FroYo place hidden a couple isles over. Let's go."

I sucked in a bunch of air once again and we both began walking cautiously through the perfume isle. I felt my pulse begin to pound in my head, and I picked up the pace a bit. Rarity did so as well, although I could tell she was a bit unsure. As soon as we exited the isle, I let out a long pained breath. Rarity held her hands out as if she was preparing to catch me, but I waved it off.

"Totally fine," I reassured, "Come on, their over here."

We both walked up to the small FroYo place, and Robby let out a cheer.

"We got a prisoner!" he rejoiced, "Take that, Kendall."

"Prisoner?" Rarity's expression dropped.

"Hey, we treat our prisoners as team members on this team," I replied gracefully, jokingly taking her hand like a gentleman, "Your wish is my command."

All of the girls giggled a bit, and Robby threw me a smirk. I glanced around, "Anyone want a FroYo?"

We all sat at a small table for a bit, allowing for the four girls present to get to know Robby a little bit more. I was sure that Pinkie and Fluttershy were bonding with Kendall as we spoke, and I took a sip of my newly bought Slurpee, satisfied with myself.

After that, we went into the store and I allowed the three girls on my team to pick out another outfit while Rarity searched for hers. Rarity ended up picking a white shirt with ruffles flowing off of the front and purple skinny jeans. It was surprisingly more casual than I expected from Rarity, which was nice. I was sure she was going to be the most expensive out of the six. Of course, she also became fascinated with the jewelry counter, but we agreed that she couldn't purchase anything more expensive than fifty dollars.

After I finished paying for the new items, I felt my cell phone ring in my pocket. I blushed when I realized my ringtone was the Gypsy Bard from Friendship is Witchcraft. Robby laughed; thankfully the others didn't seem to notice.

"Hello?" I answered my phone. It was Kendall.

"Hey, we I gotta be home in a couple hours," she sighed, "Don't you have to shop for these two?"

"Yea, okay. Where are you?"

"We're… well I decided they needed to pick out… well…"

My face turned a deep red, "Are you in Victoria's Secret?"

"Yea," she replied after a long, awkward pause. I heard Robby laugh behind me, nearly falling to the ground.

"Okay, we'll meet you up there. I'll give Twilight my card and you help them with… that."

'Okay, see you guys up here."

I hung up the phone, my face still a bright shade of pink. I uneasily looked back at my group, who all looked extremely confused. Except for Robby, who was unsuccessfully holding back a fit of giggles.

"Come on," I sighed, "We need to go meet Kendall and the others upstairs. Kendall's gonna help you with… well she'll explain."

We walked up the escalator and out of JCPenny's, and then I solemnly walked up to the familiar, pink-rimmed store. Kendall was waiting outside the doors with an awkward smile on her face. I awkwardly handed Twilight my credit card and turned to Kendall.

"Only one each," I decided, "I can't afford much from this store, anyway. I don't want to spend more than five hundred."

"Pinkie and Flutters are done," Kendall replied, in a tone nearly as awkward as mine, "Take them to find clothes and we'll meet you back here."

I sighed.

"Actually, we'll meet you in the food court," she laughed.

With that, Robby and I took off with Pinkie and Fluttershy, who thankfully kept all their questions about what Kendall had just told them to themselves. I thought for a minute, and decided Fluttershy and Pinkie would most likely be the cheapest of the six.

"Did you guys see any stores you liked?" I asked them.

"Candy store!" Pinkie shouted out.

I laughed, "Me too, Pinkie. But for once, we need to focus. Clothing stores."

"Oh um…," Fluttershy started, "I saw one that I think I liked… over there…"

I turned around to see Forever 21 and I cringed.

"Oh… we don't have to go there if you don't want to…,"

"No, no it's fine!" I perked up in reassurance, "I'm just not much for shopping in general. This is your day, Fluttershy. We can go wherever you want."

I happily lead the four into Forever 21, and I watched as the two girls looked around. "Two outfits each," I reminded them, "One pair of shoes. And if you find a coat that you like, feel free to get that too."

I let the two walk amongst the store on their own, and I sat next to Robby on a bench. After a while, Fluttershy came back with a long, yellow sweater that reached about her knees. She wore white leggings underneath. Pinkie came back with a light blue, long sleeve T-shirt, a pink puffy vest over the top of it, and a pair of white jeans.

We bought their items and headed down to the food court, speaking about our day as we did so. Pinkie couldn't seem to get over the war game. She liked all the running and hiding. Fluttershy was a little skeptical about it, but she admitted that she did have a bit of fun.

"Olly!" Pinkie shouted out, "Can we ride the carousel?"

Robby laughed, "Carousels involve riding plastic horses."

For this reason, I was going to say no, but the look plastered on Pinkie's face was begging me to say yes. I glanced over at Fluttershy, who seemed to have a small, hopeful grin on her face.

"Fine," I sighed, giving in, "But I call the dragon."
