			Little Bear, Spike, the Mane 6, and Starlight were building a little track. They used books and other objects for it. Little Bear yawned, he was making loops with a tube for a funnel. 

Spike was making the house stand. "How are you doing over there, Little Bear?", he asked.

"I connected the funnel.", Little Bear said.

"Awesome.", Spike said. 

Little Bear picked up and other end of the tube and it wobbled. "Whoa.", he said.

"Here it is.", Fluttershy said walking into the room with a round sponge.

"Is it bouncy?", Little Bear asked. 

"Nice and bouncy.", Fluttershy said. She placed it on a pile of books.

"All we need to do is place this bell in front of it, so the ball can hit it.", Little Bear said placing the bell at the end of the track. 

"Hello, guys.", Twilight said as she and her friends entered the room.

"How's the track coming?", Rainbow Dash asked.

"I think it's all set.", Little Bear said. "Are you all ready?"

"Ready.", the others said.

Little Bear placed the ball on the track, the ball rolled in loops, it rolled through the funnel, it rolled through more loops, it bounced on the sponge, it rolled down planks, it rolled on large bumped and flew off the track. But, it didn't hit the bell.

"Oh man.", Rainbow Dash said.

Little Bear scratched his head. "Lets try this.", he said as he raised the objects higher. The placed the ball on the track and did the same thing again. But, it failed again.

Little Bear removed the sponge and replaced it with a bowl and piece of track in it. "Maybe this will help.", he said. He placed the ball on the track again and the ball did the same, but with the track in the bowl.

"It's going to hit.", Applejack said.

But, the ball didn't hit the bell. "There's got to be a way to aim the ball higher.", Little Bear thought. 

"We'll be right back, Little Bear.", Starlight said as she left the others to find something. 

Little Bear sat down and looked at the track. He tried to stay awake, but he was exhausted. He yawned.

The others came back and looked at Little Bear's sleepy face. "You look tired, Darling.", Rarity said.

"No I'm not.", Little Bear said.

"Maybe you should take a little rest.", Spike suggested.

"But, what about our project?", Little Bear asked.

"Alright, just until you finished the project.", Pinkie said. 

"Are sure you're not tired?", Twilight asked.

"I'm sure.", Little Bear said. "I might close my eyes, but I won't fall asleep."

"Okay, we'll be back with something.", Rainbow Dash said as they left the room again.

Little Bear laid down on his belly and closed his eyes, he's going to play a trick on them, he's going to pretend like he's sleeping.

The others came back in and saw Little Bear sleeping in front of the project. "Aww, he's so cute when he sleeps.", Fluttershy said. 

"I guess the project wore him out.", Rarity said.

"What are you thinking we should have for dessert, Pinkie?", Starlight asked.

"It's one of Little Bear's favorite: honey cake and ice cream.", Pinkie said.

"Hold on, you think we should wake him up?", Applejack asked.

"Honey cake and ice cream?", Little Bear asked happily.

Fluttershy laughed. "Have you been playing with us the whole time?", she asked.

"Maybe.", Little Bear said.

After that, Spike found something for the project. "Hey, guys, look what I found, something good for the project.", he said.

"What is it?", Rarity said.

"A double candlestick, this should be perfect.", Spike said. He placed the it under the end of the track.

Little Bear placed the ball on the track and the ball did the same for the last time. The ball flew off the track under the candlestick, then the ball finally hit the ball. 

They all cheered. "We did it.", Little Bear said. 

"We sure did.", Fluttershy said.

Then, Little Bear yawned. "I think it's my best time for me to sleep.", he said.

"Are you still pretending?", Starlight asked.

"No, I'm literally about to fall asleep.", Little Bear said.

"We should bring him to bed.", Rarity said.

"I'll take him.", Fluttershy said.

Little Bear put his arm around Fluttershy and walked with her to his bedroom. He was brought in bed fast asleep.
