by Pinkie Pie Sweets


Chapter 24: Family Excitement

Today is the day of their vacation:

Sun and her friends are helping her and her family getting their things in the car for their vacation. Since they are going to be on the road for the day, they made sure that there is something for Sun to do on her trip.

Rainbow Dash puts the last of the suitcases in the car and says, "All ready for your vacation?"

"Yep," Sun happily answers.

Then Fluttershy happily says, "And you have our phone numbers so you can tell us how your vacation is going."

"And when you get back, we definitely going to help you start your own My Stables account!" Pinkie happily screams.

"Okay Pinkie," Sun says with a smile.

Then Rarity happily says, "You also bringing your camera, right."

"It's in my bag," Sun answers as she points to her bag.

Then Discord and Screwball comes out and are happy to get their vacation on the road.

Discord says, "Okay guys time for us to go."

"Yes dad," Sun and Screwball answers.

"Guess it's time for you all to go," Pinkie replies feeling a bit sad.

Sun can tell that Pinkie is going to miss her and so are her other friends, but not as much as Pinkie is.

Sun hugs Pinkie and says, "Don't worry Pinkie, I'll only be gone for a few weeks and we'll see each other again very soon."

Rarity gives Sun a blue blanket and says, "Here's a wrap incase you get cold."

Then Applejack give her a basket of apple based foods and drinks and says, "And I packed you some apple, apple juice, cider, and other apple foods in case you guys get hungry."

"Have a good time," Fluttershy happily replies.

"Me too and hope you guys have fun while I'm gone," Sun replies.

Then Sun gets inside the car with her father and sister already inside. Then Discord starts the car and starts to drive to their destination.

Sun then opens the window to say goodbye to her friends before she gets too far away.

Sun happily waves and says, "Bye everyone I'll see you guys soon!"

Then Pinkie sadly screams, "Sun!"

Then she starts to chase after the car as she screams, "I'll never forget you!"

As Sun family drives away, they start to giggle a little bit at Pinkie's goodbye, but know she means well. After Sun and her family leaves, her friends after still at Applejack and Sun's house waving goodbye, but also confused when Pinkie starts to chase them.

After the chase, Pinkie walk back to the others and she can see her friends are a little confused by Pinkie's chase.

Rainbow says, "Pinkie, there's no reason to say that. She's going to be gone for 3 weeks."

"I know, but felt like it was just yesterday when we first met her," Pinkie replies happily.

"We know, but this is family time that Sun is going to have," Applejack says.

"Speaking of family, how do you think she's going to act when she going to meet you know who?" Rainbow asks curiously.

Fluttershy sadly says, "You shouldn't worry Rainbow. She maybe wild as Discord, but she is very sweet."

"Are you kidding! She is just as crazy as he is!" Rainbow says freaking out.

"She's also fun too," Pinkie adds happily.

"Whatever," Rainbow replies bluntly.

For the whole day until early in the morning. Sun and her family have travel the road making some rest stops and gone a long way to a big city. They had a long trip that it just about early in the morning that they reached their destination.

Sun and Screwball wake up after a long night in the car. When they wake up, they drive to a big city with big light and giant buildings.

Discord happily announces, "Here we are... Las Pegasus!"

Sun is amazed to see so many buildings, lights, and people walking in the streets.

"Wow! The place is so big," Sun says with amazement.

"I know and it one of the most largest cities," Screwball replies.

Sun is very excited to go on vacation to such a big place, but something about the place and the name seems familiar to her. Sun is wondering where they're going to stay while they are in the big city.

Just then the car drives to a hotel. Discord says, "And here's our destination."

Sun and Screwball turns to see a big building and next to it is a big building that looks exactly like a circus tent. The sign in front of the hotel says The Big Top.

"The Big Top?" Sun questionably says as she's reading the sign.

"Yay!" Screwball screams happily.

Sun is kind of curious about the building she thinks it looks like a circus tent.

Sun curiously says, "It looks like a circus."

"That's why it's called The Big Top," Screwball replies.

Sun looks at the hotel they are staying at and bluntly says, "Oh!"

After having their car parked at the entrance, The bellhop come and get their suitcases from the car, while Discord go check to the hotel. Sun is starting to notice that the workers at the hotel seem to know Discord and Screwball for some reason or another. As they are waiting in the lobby, Sun can see that the place is big enough to have a circus or something.

Sun turns to Screwball and Discord and asks, "So what are we doing?"

"We're waiting for the owner of the to see us," Discord answers.

Sun is surprised to hear her father said about him knowing the hotel owner.

Sun surprisingly says, "You know the owner of the hotel."

"Yep," Discord answers with a smile.

"So where is the owner," Sun asks curiously.

Screwball points to where she notice the person and says, "Here she comes."

Sun turns to see where Screwball is pointing to and can see someone running towards them. The person is a woman who looks a lot like her dad, but has longer hair and a little shorter than him. She also kind of wearing a similar outfit like Discord only she is wearing a skirt and high heel shoes.

The woman screams happily as she runs, "Discord! Come to Eris!"

"Come to Eris!" The woman happily screams again.

Just then the woman runs into Discord, hugs him and spin him around with her like a top. Sun can see that the woman is very excited to see.

After the spin, the woman hugs Discord and he has a smile on his face.

The woman happily asks as she hugs him, "How is my twin brother?!"

"Fine Eris. It so good to see you again," Discord answers as he is being kind of squashed by the waist.

Sun is kind of confused to see the woman hugging Discord with her might and can see that she and her dad know each other.

Sun turns to her sister and asks, "Uh Screwball, who is she?"

"Sun, this is Eris. She's our aunt and dad's twin sister," Screwball answers.

"Sister?" Sun questionably replies.

Sun can see that Eris looks exactly like Discord, but she is a girl and have some difference to her appearances.

Sun says with confusion, "I can see the resemblance."

After Eris has her moment with her brother, she decides to see her two nieces and greet them as well.

Eris smiles at Screwball and says, "Screwy, how is my wild and crazy niece?"

"Fine Aunt Eris," Screwball answers with glee.

Eris turns to see Sun and is very glad to finally meet her. Sun is kind of surprised to actually meet her aunt and is kind of happy to see her.

Eris happily says, "And you must be Sun."

"Hi," Sun replies.

"You are so cute," Eris says happily.

Then Eris gives Sun a big hug and kind of squishing her.

As Eris is hugging Sun, she happily says, "Nice to finally meet you. My big brother told me all about you. I got to say you are so sweet, pretty, and adorable."

Sun is glad that her aunt like her, but is kind of getting squished being hugged by her aunt.

As Sun is getting squished, she struggling says, "Um… Eris… I'm squished."

Eris stop hugging her after hearing her new niece getting hugged hard, she looks at Sun with a smile and says, "Sorry sweetie. I was just so eager to meet you."

"Thanks," Sun happily answers.

Eris turns to the others and happily says, "Well, how about we get you all settle into your room and you can meet me for breakfast."

"Okay," Sun and Screwball says with a smile.

"Lead the way sis," Discord adds.

"You got it," Eris says.

With that, Eris leads Sun and her family to their hotel room. Sun is kind of amazed by Eris and can see she is just as interesting and fun as her brother is.

In the hotel room:

Eris has lead her brother and family to a family deluxe room while they are staying at her hotel for a few weeks.

"And this will be your room," Eris says as she opens the door for them.

Then she leads them to the room they will be staying in. The room has three beds, two beds in one room and another bed in a different, two restrooms and some furniture, appliances, and other stuff in the room. Then a bellhop brings all of their stuff to the room so they can unpack them for later.

"Looks great," Screwball replies happily.

Discord turns to his sister and happily says, "Thank sis."

"No problem. I need to get back to business, so settle in and be free to have loads of fun," Eris happily answers.

"Bye," Screwball happily says.

Then Eris leaves the room in order to get back to work at her hotel. Screwball turns to see Sun is already laying down on one of the bed feeling tired and looks like she's about ready to fall asleep.

Screwball asks, "Tired Sun?"

"In a way," Sun answers feeling a bit tired.

Discord sit down on the bed where Sun is and he can tell she is tired.

Discord says, "Don't worry, we'll get some rest and then we'll go meet Eris down for breakfast."

"I guess so," Sun answers feeling relaxed.

"Why are you sleeping anyway, we have load of fun at the hotel," Screwball asks as she is seeing her sister resting.

Sun says, "I don't think we need to worry about not having fun. We're going to be here for a few weeks."

"Oh yeah," Screwball replies.

"Don't worry Screwy, we'll have all the fun as we want. Right after we get some rest," Discord says as he decides to go into the other room to take a nap.

"Oh dad," Sun and Screwball reply while shaking their head.

After having rest in their room:

Sun and her family join Eris for breakfast at one of the restaurant in her hotel. Everyone are enjoying their breakfast and can't wait to get started on having fun in the hotel.

As they are eating, Eris turns to Sun and asks, "So Sun, how about you tell your Auntie Eris about yourself."

"Well, there isn't much to talk about," Sun replies feeling a bit unsure.

Eris comes over to Sun and happily says, "Don't worry sweetheart, Just tell me the fun you have since you came here."

"Um… I started to enroll to Canterlot High and I made good friends," Sun starts to explain about her life so far.

"Sun also became Princess of the Spring Fling," Screwball adds happily.

Eris is impressed when she hear about Sun being the princess of her school dance.

Eris happily says, "You don't say. I remember Celestia was Princess of the Spring along with you know who."

"Who?" Sun asks sounding curious.

Discord on the other hand isn't happy about her sister mentioning another person winning the title.

Discord asks with frustration, "Did you had to bring her up?"

Then a familiar voice to Discord Eris and Screwball says, "Yes she did."

Everyone at the table turn to see a woman standing next to one of the pillars of the restaurant. The woman has dark black-gray skin, blue-green hair, dark green eyes and oval pupils. She is wearing a black suit jacket, a green dress with a light blue transparent wing on it, black tights, and black high heels. Sun can tell that she must be the one Vice Principal Luna mentions about. She can tell that she have a devious side to her personality.

"Oh no!" Screwball says as she facepalm her head.

Discord angrily asks, "Chrysalis! What are you doing here?!"

What, can I not take a vacation at your sister's hotel after all she and I are friends, remember," Crysalis answers.

"I remember," Discord mutters with frustration.

Chrysalis can see that she is getting on Discord nerves.

She then notice Sun sitting next to Eris and can tell that she never seen someone like her before.

Chrysalis makes a smirk on her face and asks, "And who is this young girl?"

Eris put her hand on Sun's shoulder and answers, "Crysalis this here is my niece Sun. Sun this is one of my good friends Chrysalis."

Sun nervously says, "Um… it's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Chrysalis replies sounding very polite.

"I must say Discord surely got himself a very pretty girl to be in his family," Chrysalis replies.

"I know isn't she cute," Eris says patting Sun's head.

"Yes. I remember Tirek telling me about her as well," Chrysalis adds.

After hearing Tireks name causes Discord to be boiling mad.

Discord gets into Chrysalis' face and angrily says, "Tirek told you!"

Chrysalis isn't showing fear by Discord getting at her face.

Instead, she shows a smug on her face and says, "Yes and gotta say... she doesn't seem to be the type to be part of your family."

"Well then I must be going now. See you all really soon," Chrysalis adds.

Just then Crysalis leaves to go do what she is planning on doing while she is hear.

Eris simply waves to her and says, "Bye Chrysalis, have fun at the hotel."

Sun can see that Discord isn't in the mood to say anything, especially since he's gritting his teeth since Chrysalis is gone.

Sun turns to Eris and worriedly asks, "Is dad okay?"

"To be honest, he doesn't like Crysalis that much, mostly because she devious sometimes," Eris answers sounding a bit concerned about her brother's behavior.

Sun looks at her dad who is eating while feeling a bit angry and bluntly says, "Oh!"

"Now don't let this worry you and have a good time on your vacation," Eris assures Sun.

Sun can see her aunt not wanting her to worry about her dad and want to have some fun.

Sun says, "Okay."

After they finish eating, Sun and her sister decide to have some fun for the day by going for a swim at the pool. They have a good time swimming, going down the slide and relaxing in the water. Then Discord and Screwball decide to take Sun to an amusement park that is in the tent part of the hotel. They have a really great time going on ride, playing some games, and exploring around the building.

After a long day at the hotel, Sun and her family are in their hotel room and are getting ready to sleep for the night. After changing to their pajamas and brushing their teeth, Discord is already asleep in his room while Sun and Screwball share a room and still away and getting ready to sleep for the night.

"I really have a good time at Aunt Eris' hotel," Sun says happily.

"I know you will love it," Screwball says happily.

As Sun and Screwball and Sun go to bed, Sun is wondering about Chrysalis and want to ask Screwball about her, but she remember how Discord and Screwball react towards her and doesn't want to make her sister feel uncomfortable about it.

Sun decides to ask Screwball something else and says, "Hey Screwball."

"Yes Sun," Screwball replies.

"So, what do you think we're doing tomorrow?" Sun asks.

"I don't know, but with Aunt Eris it will always be fun and adventures," Screwball answers happily.

Sun laughs after Screwball answers and says, "I guess we'll just wait and see."

Sun then lays down in her bed and says, "Goodnight Screwball.

"Goodnight Sun," Screwball replies and lays down in her bed.

After turning off the lights, everyone in the room turn in for the night feeling tired and now starting to relaxed for the night. They also can't wait for their time at the hotel for the past few weeks.
