‘Oh my gooooosh! I’m so superbly sensationally samazingly excited about this holiday! It’s gonna be sooo much fun! So much fun I had to use three ‘s’ words to describe how excited I am! Well, one of them was an ‘a’ word with an ‘s’ at the start, but I couldn’t think of another ‘s’ word! That’s how excited I am! I can’t even think properly!’

‘Pinkie Pie, calm down! When we’re at Haywaii, you have to straighten up a bit! We don’t want to look like...ugh...Tourists.’ Rarity retorted to the party pony, packing yet another Bikini into her 5th suitcase.

It was the end of autumn in Ponyville, and the Running of the leaves had just finished yesterday. The winner was Applejack, after leading pony Ace tripped over a tree stump (although there was dispute as to whether Applejack tripped him or not, everypony trusted Pinkies eye in the sky for seeing hher not trip him over). For winning, she had gotten a lot of prize money. 10,000 bits, in fact. She was going to spend it all on renovating the farm, however she had worked hard throughout harvest season this year and everypony told her she needed a break. Applejack, being very kind, decided she wanted all of her very best friends to go with her.

‘I’m a might grateful you all persuaded me to take a rest from the farm. I’m plum tuckered after Applebuckin’ season and this holiday to Haywaii was a great idea.’ Applejack told her friends.

‘Yes, I’m excited about this holiday too, Applejack. I’ve heard at Haywaii they have some very interesting traditions. They would make for a very exciting letter to the princess’. Twilight stated, Fluttershy nodding.

‘And I’m interested to go, because of all the animals! Do you know there are some animals that don’t exist anywhere else in Equestria that live in Haywaii?’ The Yellow Pegasus said in an excited tone. 

‘And have you seen those garlands they wear? Floral designs are very in this season, and they just look stunning! Just imagine, me, having the real deal, made in Haywaii!’ Rarity squealed, getting excited at the prospect of visiting the small island, before composing herself. ‘Of course, I will act with dignity and respect, not like a tourist.’

‘We should dash!’ The rainbow maned Pegasus announced, ‘Our flight leaves soon and we can’t miss it!’ 

The Six ponies gathered their belongings, either carrying them with magic, or on their back. They then walked out the door of Twilights library. The purple pony swivelled round, making sure everyone had the necessities. 

‘Passports?’

‘CHECK!’ 

‘Boarding passes?’ 

‘CHECK!’

‘Sun cream?’

‘CHECK!’

‘Alright then! That’s the bare essentials. Oh wait, of course, there’s one more thing!’
‘Ready to have a good time?’

‘CHECK!’
