Chapter 22: Vacation Planning

The Next day:

Sun, Screwball along with their friends are at Rarity's boutique to talk about her vacation and to ask her about the coins and gems that she still has with her. The girls are trying to help Sun get ready for their vacation and since it's going to involve driving, they're going to make sure Sun is prepared.

"So Sun, are you excited for going on your vacation?" Apple Bloom asks.

Sun simply laughs and says, "I will be more excited if I knew where we're going."

"Like daddy said, it's a surprise. We go to different places around the country every year so we have different kinds of fun," Screwball says with a smile.

"Sounds like I'll have a different kind of adventure every vacation if you two are involved," Sun replies while giggling.

Screwball hugs her sister and says, "I know, right. Wait until winter break, we get to have all kinds of fun in the snow."

The girls laugh a bit about her talking about winter break and they barely started summer break a few days ago,

Sun says, "Screwball, it's summer right now."

"You're right," Sun simply answers.

As the girls are talking about their ideas for their vacation. Rarity comes out with her glasses on and her hair is kind of messy

Rarity comes over to Sun and happily, "So darling, you're father had inform me of where you will be going on vacation and he said I can make you your new wardrobe."

Sun smiles smiles and says, "Sounds fun."

Everyone including Sun and Rarity starts to laugh and covering their mouths. Sun is rather confused of why her friends are laughing. To her, she is just trying on some new clothes Rarity made for her

Then Rainbow says, "In this rate, it will be bad for you."

"Why?" Sun replies sounding confused.

Sun looks at Rarity and makes a scared look on her is starting to understand why it will be bad for her.

Rarity is holding needle and thread with her measuring tape on her shoulders.

She then happily says, "Are you ready?"

"Uh oh!" Sun replies sounding a bit scared.

Rarity simply drags Sun to the changing rooms and she is helping Sun with her new clothes.

Rarity makes Sun try on different clothes to see which one look good on her. The ones that are good for her are going with her on the trip. They are good for summer and to go wherever they are going to on vacation. She made Sun some shirts, blouses, skirts, shorts, dresses, and she also giv Sun som shoes and jewelery.

Sun is so amazed by each outfit that Rarity brings to her to try on. The girls love them too they really fit Sun's personality and appearances.

Sun says with amazement, "Wow! These clothes are amazing."

"I know. I also got some swim suits for you," Rarity replies feeling so happy.

Rarity heads back to her working room to get a few things and then runs back to where Sun is. She brings out three swimsuits for Sun to see and they are all just her size.

"So which one do you like," Rarity happily asks.

"This one piece swimsuit," Rarity replies while bring out one of the swim suits.

This one is orange with a purple and yellow strip on the right side.

Then Rarity says, "Though, I think this bikini is more you."

"The next swimsuit Rarity brings out looks like a sports bikini. It's black with her shimmering sun mark that she likes on the top part of it.

Then Rarity brings out another one and says, "Or how about this one with this nice cloth wrap and this hat."

The last one Rarity brings out is another one piece swim suit, but this one doesn't have any straps or sleeves. This one is purple with a black ribbon in the middle. It also comes with a black sun hat and an orange tie in skirt.

"Or I can simply…" Before Rarity can say anything, Applejack covers her mouth before She can say anything.

Applejack knows Rarity is trying to be generous, but she is going a little over boards. Rarity already give her enough clothes and stuff to bring for her vacation as it is.

Applejack removes her hand from Rarity's mouth and says, "Simmer down girl. You need to give her a chance to make a choice."

Rarity is about to protest, but then she remember that this is Sun's swim suit and doesn't want to give her too much option.

Rarity simply sighs and says, "Oh very well."

"So which one to you like," Screwball asks.

Sun starts to think of which swimsuit she wants. She think they all nice, but knows she can only choose one. After some time thinking, Sun decides which swimsuit she want.

Sun shylu says, "Um… I think this one first one looks nice."

"Okay darling," Rarity replies.

Then she puts the swimsuit of Sun's choice in the bag that has her other clothes for her to take home. She then adds a small pair of purple sunglasses.

Rarity happily says, "And these sunglasses will look good on you too."

"Thanks Rarity," Sun says.

"Anytime," Rarity replies with a smile.

Sun is glad that her friends are helping her with her vacation plan. She is also wonder is she had friends before she starts to live with her new father, Discord and her new sister Screwball.

Rainbow Dash looks at Sun while sitting and asks, "So Sun, you sister been telling me that you are a Daring Do fan, is that true?"

Sun starts to feel embarrassed and says, "Yeah. I love Daring Do adventure books,"

"Yes! It's about time I have someone to talk about Daring Do stuff with!" Rainbow cheers happily.

Sun starts to feel a little sheepish and says, "I guess, but I only read them while I was in the hospital and I practically read the whole series while I was there."

The girls are amazed when Sun talks about her reading the book while being in the hospital. Sun is glad that she is into something that are filled with adventures, puzzles, and mysteries.

"Wow! That surely kept you busy," Pinkie replies.

Sun face blushes and says, "Yeah and I never have any of her books either so I checked them out if they're available."

Rainbow gets into Sun's face and surprisingly says, "What?! You mean to tell me that you never bother getting the Daring Do series of your own!"

Sun feels a bit scared that Rainbow is getting up in her face, but she knows she needs to answer her question.

Sun answers, "No. I been too busy trying to get used to everything that's been going on."

"Right," Rainbow bluntly says while narrowing her eyes.

Then Pinkie shows up with her laptop and says, "You know, you can buy them on the internet."

"But… I never bought anything on the internet before," Sun says feeling a bit shy.

As the girls are going to talk about some stuff with their time and other excitement. Sun remember something she wants to talk to the girls about.

As Sun is looking through her backpack. Sun says to her friends, "Speaking of buying, I want to ask you guys about these."

After digging through her bag, Sun pulls out two bags. She opens each of them and the girls are amazed to see coins and gems from the bags.

"Coins?" Rainbow says questionably.

"And gems?" Rarity replies curiously.

Sun simply answers, "Yeah. I have these ever since before I can remember."

Rarity picks one of the gems up to take a look at them. Rarity have seen gems and stones and she can tell that the gems Sun has are very not like the gems she seen before.

Rarity says, "You know these gems look too pretty to be fake."

"And these coins don't look like they're made out of bronze or iron either," Fluttershy replies while holding some of the coins.

"And you have a lot of them," Scootaloo replies with amazement.

"And you have them in two separate bags,"Sweetie Belle adds curiously.

"I know. My dad and I are wonder when Sun got them from," Screwball replies.

Then Rarity sadly says, "But sadly, Sun has amnesia and is unable to remember them."

Pinkie starts to think about the gems and the coins that Sun has and think she has an idea of why she has them.

Pinkie suggests, "You know, if these gems are real and if these coins are made of gold, then Sun must be rich or something."

Sun blushes a bit and unsure about Pinkie's hunch. Sun says, "I don't know about that."

"I wonder why these coins have horses on them?" Fluttershy asks sounding unsure about the coins.

"Alicorn," Sun says out of the blue.

Fluttershy asks, "What is it Sun?"

"They're Alicorn," Sun simply answers.

The girls are kind of surprised when she tells them about the ponies on the coins. They think that maybe it's something from her memories. Then again she might read about them and just recognized the picture, but they're mostly think she remembers it.

"At least you remember something," Pinkie says shrugging her shoulders.

"But how are we going to know if these are real or not?" Applejack asks as she scratches the back of her head.

The girls tries to think on how the girls can tell if the gems and the coins are real and wonder what they're made of. Then Pinkie has an idea and it's not that far from the boutique either.

"I know!" Pinkie Pie says cheerfully.

The next thing they know, they are at a big building and it has a big dollar sign on it too.

Pinkie cheerfully says, "Canterlot Bank!"

"Isn't this the one Filthy Rich owns?" Apple Bloom asks with frustration and sarcasm.

"Yep!" Pinkie screams happily.

"Aw man," Scootaloo says with annoyance and facepalm her head.

Sun can tell that her little sister and her friends are not happy about going to this bank. She is wonder why the bank is bothering the.

Sun asks with concerns,"What's wrong?"

The girls are not sure if they should answer Sun's question, but they do know that she has the right to know about her sister's problem.

Rarity sighs sadly and answers, "It has something to do with Diamond Tiara."

"What's wrong with that?" Sun asks sounding confused.

"She has problems with me," Screwball replies sounding upset.

"Why?" Sun asks sounding curious.

"Well Sun, you see… Diamond Tiara is a rich girls and sometime doesn't take kindly to those who don't have much riches and this bank is owned by her father," Applejack sadly explains.

"Oh!" Sun says.

Sun understand why the girls are not happy with Diamond Tiara. She figure that she has been picking on them and not being very nice to thinks it might be a good idea to just hurry up with the mystery and get out of here.

Sun says while reassuring her sister, "Well, we'll just check these coins and gems and be on our way, okay."

"I guess so," Screwball replies sounding a bit better.

The girls go inside the bank to see anyone that can help them. When they get inside the bank, they can see it's not very busy today.

Pinkie points her finger at one of the lines and happily screams, "Lookie! This line is empty!"

Rarity says, "That's good. We'll be in and out in no time."

The girls get inside the line to see to check out the coins and gems to see if they're real. When they reach to the desk, they see a woman named Silver Dollar. She has light gray skin, dark brown hair, emerald eyes. She is wearing a black suit jacket with matching skirt, a white button up shirt, and black medium high heel shoes.

Silver Dollar smiles and says to the girls, "Hello and welcome to Canterlot Bank, how may I help you?"

"We want to ask you about this," Pinkie says cheerfully holding a green gem.

Silver Dollar looks amazed by the gem and says, "My that looks interesting."

She then takes the gem from Pinkie to see the gem for herself. She is very surprised to see something this big and looks very nice.

Silver Dollar then turns to Pinkie and asks. "Is this yours?"

"Nope. It belongs to my good friend, Sun here," Pinkie Pie replies as she drags her friend in front of the desk.

"Hi," Sun nervously says.

Silver Dollar grabs a small telescope to look at the gem very carefully and starts to examine it. The lady, Silver Dollar, absorb the gem carefully to have a look she is curious on how bit it is. The gem is bigger than the palm of her hand. When she finishes absorbing the gem she looks very shocked. The girls starts to take notice of the worker's reaction.

"Miss, are you okay?" Sun asks sounding very concern.

After her shock of looking at the gem, She looks at Sun with a surprised look in her eyes. She is wondering on her it it possible for her to have that kind of gem.

Silver Dollar surprisingly asks, "Where… where in the world did you get that gem?!"

Sun starts to get scared and can't say anything. All Sun can say is, "I… I… I…"

Sun is starting to feel uncomfortable and her friends are starting to notice and are about to do something to make Sun feel better, but they are interrupted by someone else.

The voice says, "Is there a problem?"

The girls turn to see a man and from his looks, he is a business man. The man has a greyish amber skin, dark gray hair like hair and blue like eyes. He is wearing a dark blue business suit, a white button up shirt, a red tie with a yellow dollar sign, brown shoes and wearing a three money bag pin on the suit.

Sun is surprised to see the man and can tell that he means business.

Sun turns to her friends and asks, "Who is that?"

"That's Filthy Rich," Rainbow Dash answers.

"Are you all having any trouble?" Filthy Rich asks.

Silver Dollar comes to Mr. Rich and says, "You could say that, but Mr. Rich... can I have a talk to you in private."

"Sure," Filthy Rich answers sounding confused.

Then Filthy Rich and Silver Dollar goes to an office to have a talk about Sun's gem. While they are talking the girls are not sure what is going on and wonder if there's a problem.

"Wonder what they're talking about?" Apple Bloom asks sounding and looking curious

"I do believe it has something to do with the gem Pinkie showed to her," Rarity says.

"Let's not forget that is Sun's gem," Scootaloo replies sounding curious.

Then Pinkie says with suspicions, "You're right. She was freaked when she took a better look at the gem Sun has."

"I hope it's not serious," Fluttershy says sounding unsure.

"I don't think it will be that serious," Sweetie Belle replies sounding uncertain.

"I doubt it. The way Silver Dollar act she was very shocked about the gem," Screwball replies while scratching her chin.

Just then the girls look over to see Filthy Rich and Silver Dollar coming out of the office.

"Looks like they're finished," Applejack replies.

The girls can tell that Filthy Rich is staring at them specifically from Sun.

"Which one of you is Sun?" Filthy Rich asks acting a bit serious.

The girls are look at Sun and each other with confused look on their faces and wonder if they should tell. Sun knows it has something to do with the gem at she has and decides to let him know who she is.

Sun comes over to Filthy Rich and says, "I am."

Filthy Rich looks at her and kind of curious how a girl her ace can have such a big gem.

Filthy Rich asks, "Young lady, I would like to know where you got this gem from?"

Sun starts to get a little nervous and answers, "Um… actually… I don't remember where I got them from. I just, have them."

The girls are kind of confused on how Mr. Rich is looking at Sun and can see Sun is starting to get a little scared.

"What do you think about the gem?" Sweetie Belle asks curiously.

Filthy Rich looks at Sun's friends with serious looks in his eyes. He can tell that the girls are curious about the results of the gem.

Filthy Rich calmly answers, "Well, I think it's real."

The girls are shocked to hear Mr. Rich's statement and can't believe themselves.

"It's not fake," Fluttershy surprisingly response.

"That's impossible," Applejack says with a shock.

Then Silver Dollar says, "Honestly not. If it was fake then we would have saw a single flaw on it, but since we didn't I assume this gem is very real."

Screwball shockley says, "You mean it's... it's…"

"It's really real!" The girls excluding Sun screams with a shock.

Filthy Rich and Silver Dollar simply nods their heads in reply. Everyone including Sun is shocked to find out that the gem that Sun has is real. They figure that since one of her gem is real then that means that all the gems Sun has with her are real rool. They are starting to think that the coins that Sun has are really made out of gold.

Pinkie surprisingly screams, "Wow! Then that mean the other gems Sun has are real too!"

Filthy Rich and Silver Dollar hear what Pinkie says and are looking surprised.

Silver Dollar asks, "What other gems are you referring to?"

"Sun has a bunch of them!" Rainbow Dash replies still feeling shocked.

"Even a bag full of coins and they look like they're made of gold," Fluttershy adds trying to remain calm.

Filthy Rich looks at Sun and says, "Really now."

"But Sun doesn't remember if they're real or not," Rarity adds sadly.

Filthy Rich and Silver Dollar looks at each other about Sun unable to remember about the gems and know that they have a situation.

Then Silver Dollar says, "Sounds like we have a strange predicament."

Then Rarity suggests, "Maybe Sun should get an account here?"

"Yeah. Our dad has one here and so do I," Screwball replies agreeing with Rarity's suggestion.

The girls does think getting Sun an account is a good idea, but they know that they can't do this sort of thing on their own.

Then Fluttershy suggests, "Maybe it's a good idea to get Discord here?"

"Agree," The girls reply agreeing with Fluttershy's suggestion.

Applejack brings out her phone and says, "I'll give Discord a call and tell us about what's going on right now."

After calling Discord and Discord coming over to the bank, the girls explain to them how the gem Sun has is 100% real and think it will be a good idea to Sun to have an account for the gems and coins that she has. Discord is surprised to hear about it, but believes it's a good idea bout Sun having an account for herself. So after going through some paperwork, talking to Filthy Rich, and other important stuff, Sun officially has her own account at the Canterlot Bank.

Before they leave home Discord buy Sun a very special safe to keep her gems and coins safe and can use them whenever she needs them.

Discord is driving home and taking the girls home as well. It's a good thing Discord has a van that can fit a lot of people. Sun however is feel sad and worried about having her memory back and about herself getting her friends in trouble.

Fluttershy notice Sun looking sad and asks, "What's wrong."

Sun sighs sadly and answers, "I felt like I'm just making myself more confused and making this hard on all of you."

"Don't worry darling, you didn't remember much about your past and don't remember if the gold coins and gems are real or not," Rarity says reassuring Sun.

"Rarity's right, how are you supposed to know if those things are real. You couldn't even remember your real name," Rainbow Dash replies.

Applejack looks at Rainbow angry about her remarks and angrily says, "Rainbow Dash!"

"What?! I'm just making a point," Rainbow replies sounding a bit upset.

"Well, you should think before you say anything," Applejack angrily replies.

Discord also notice that Sun is looking a bit down and a bit tired, so he asks, "You're okay Sun,"

"Yes dad, I'm just a little tired," Sun answers then she yawns.

"Don't worry as soon as you come home you can get some rest after the day you been through," Discord replies trying to cheery Sun up.

"Right," Sun replies with a small smile.

After everything that has happened and having dinner, Sun goes to be a early and hopefully to put the little problem behind her for the night. As Sun is sleeping in her room, Discord and Screwball are in the living room and are checking to see about the stuff they have for their vacation.

As they are continue to pack their thing Discord asks his daughter about Sun.

Discord asks, "So Screwball, what do you think?"

"I think we have everything we need to our vacation," Screwball answers happily about their vacation.

"I mean about Sun," Discord sadly answers.

Screwball starts to look sad and worried about her sister and doesn't want this to affect her.

"What do you mean dad?" Screwball asks acting a bit confused and worried.

Discord sit down next to Screwball on the couch and sadly says, "What I mean is that…I'm just worried about her and it seems that Sun is still having trouble developing her past and regaining her memory."

Screwball remember about how Sun was today and worried about her not regaining her memory.

"So what are we going to do?" Screwball worriedly asks.

Discord simply smiles and answers, "Don't worry, I scheduled a doctor's appointment before we go on our vacation this friday."

"And we're leaving Sunday," Screwball adds.

Then Screwball sadly says, "I just hope Sun is able to make it till then."

"I hope so myself," Discord sadly replies.

They are both worried about Sun and wishes this vacation can help her feel more calm and relaxed. So after checking their things, they decides to get some sleep for the night.

In Sun's room:

Sun is sleeping happily and is dreaming about a birthday and the sign is showing a 5th birthday party. In the dream there are four female ponies. One is a grown mare, one is around her teenage years, one is wearing a birthday tiara and it's her special day, and the last one is a baby. There are also 3 male ponies in the dream too. One of them is a grown stallion, another is a young adult stallion and another is a small colt.

Everyone happily screams,"Happy Birthday!"

The grown mare puts a small box on the table and happily says, "I have a very special present for you."

The birthday filly opens her present with excitement. When she opens it she can see a shimmering Sun necklace made out of yellow and red gem, and the chain necklace is made of pure gold.

The filly starts to cry happily and says, "Mommy this is beautiful, did you made it?"

"Yes honey, mommy made it especially for you," The grown mare replies with joy.

The filly give her mom a hug and happily says, "Thank you mommy. I love you.

"I love you too. My sweet baby Sun," The grown mare happily says hugging her daughter back.

Sun dream, cause her to shed a small tear and says "Mommy," in her sleep. Sun doesn't know is that the dream is actually something that happened a long time ago and just happily sleep to wait and see what tomorrow will bring for her.
