The mane six and Celestia have have gone to the human world for a camping trip...and Rainbow Dash cannot stand it.

One night, being unable to sleep, she wanders into the forest and gets a brilliant idea. Explore the human world! That would definitely be more fun than being stuck on this camping trip.

So, with Twilight's help, she disguises herself as a normal human girl and travels to New York City where she meets Jacklynn, a quirky, adventurous girl who takes her for a wild ride.

But, Rainbow is frequently reminded, by her element of loyalty, about her friends back at the campsite, and becomes unsure about her choice to leave them.

Meanwhile, Twilight is dealing with keeping Rainbow's secret, and not doing very well.

Can Rainbow shove past her insecurities and enjoy her stay? Or will she wuss out and go home? Will the others find out?

Why are you asking me? Read the story!
