//------------------------------// // Episode 11: Glue for Three // Story: My Brave Pony Starfleet Magic: Season VI // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// EPISODE ELEVEN *Mykan’s POV* It was an ordinary mid-afternoon in New Canterlot, and all the ponies and other creatures were going about their day. I had just flown in after teaching my class in New Ponyville that day. I stretched out and a sniffed the sweet afternoon air, and sighed “Ahh… nothing like a sunny afternoon after work.”  Suddenly the warning alarm sounded; there was immediate danger heading for the area. Many of the ponies immediately began to run for homes and buildings before the barriers activated. I helped some of the citizens into shelters, including one pony who was hauling a big wagon with a huge barrel marked “SUPER INDUSTRIAL GLUE” in giant letters on it. He had to leave the wagon where it was and get to safety. I stayed outside to survey the area and make sure no one was stuck outside; the streets were clean of all the citizens, and suddenly a big fly-like monster came rushing into the village. He was a rather burly looking insect creature with greenish skin and big red eyes just like that of a fly, and over his shoulder he held a large sack of stolen goods. He was being chased by Lightning, Krysta, Starla, Applejack, Rarity and Spike; all transformed and wearing their super suits. “Get him!” shouted Lightning! “Remind me who we’re chasing again?” asked Krysta, and Starla replied “He calls himself “The Bugalar”, and just as his name is played on, he’s a dreaded burglar. Three-hundred years ago, he robbed seven first national banks on many planets. He looted valuables from museums and even stole from people in the streets before he was captured.” Rarity felt disgusted, “All those robberies?! Why that’s positively wretched!” “To think of all those jewels…” said Spike and his mouth began to water, “…All those tasty jewels!” Applejack rolled her eyes, “Let’s rope him first. Then we can eat.” with that, she readied her rope and lassoed the sack of stolen goods away from Bugalar. “YE-HAW! That’s the catch.”  Bugalar skidded to a dead halt in midair, and he glared furiously at the team, “You dare steal from me?! No one steals from The Bugalar!” He flexed his four arms and charged forth, when suddenly he got zapped from behind. The ponies turned and saw me standing there with my shield and sword. “I always did love bug hunting when I was in the scouts.” I said smugly. The others thought that was witty, but Bugalar was not amused, “You think I can’t take you all on…?!” The fight was on, and even though he was outnumbered, Buglar, with his four arms, managed to punch each of us fighters away each time we got near him, but we still fought back, and Starla and Lightning punched him hard, together, sending him hurdling through the air and crashing down hard. “Oh yeah!” shouted Bugalar, “Now try this; PARISITE WHEEZE!” and from his huge mouth he wheezed a large swarm of miniature insects that flew all around us fighters, getting in our way and diving straight at us form all ends like real pests. Everyone waved about trying to shoo the bugs off, but Rarity could only scream in terror as she hated bugs, especially the way they zoomed all around her. “Get them off me!” she cried!” “Oh, sure, you can annoy them to death!” I snarled at her as I continued to bat off the bugs. Bugalar found it hilarious the way we were all behaving and decided to make his getaway while he could. “Hey, he’s getting away!” cried Starla. “That does it!” Spike growled, and he drew in a huge breath, “DRAGON BREATH!” and he breathed a huge wave of fire, killing most of the tiny insects. “Good shot, Spike!” said Lightning. The rest of us were relieved to be rid of the bugs. “Hey, there he goes!” snapped Applejack, and she chased after Bugalar. “Hey, wait up!” I called as I chased after her. I caught up with her, and then held out my sword, blasting Bugalar so he fell to the ground again. “Now, I’m really steamed!” he thundered and he began to fight us both. The other’s caught up to where we were, and noticed the glue wagon in the area. “Hey, guys, Look out!” Lightning called. Bugalar then punched Applejack hard, and sent her slamming into the wagon, breaking the huge barrel wide open and spilling glue everywhere. “Oh, my goodness! Applejack!” cried Rarity and she dashed over, but was careful not to step on any of the gooey puddles on the way. “Ha!” laughed Bugalar “That’s one down. Who’s next?” “You are!” snarled Lightning, “Do it, Starla.” His wife nodded and armed her bow, “GALACTIC PROJECTILE!” Her finisher hit the evil insect hard, and he fell over, exploded and was imprisoned in a sphere. The team cheered, but then I saw poor Applejack near the remains of the barrel. Her suit had powered down, and strangely she didn’t seem to be covered in glue. I came along to help her up, extending my left hand to her right hand, while Rarity grabbed Applejack’s left hand with her right. “Are you alright?” Rarity asked. “Just a little bruised, I’ve had worse. Thanks for helpin’ me up you two.” Suddenly, we found we couldn’t let go of her hands. “Applejack…” I said “Let go of us.” “What?” snapped Applejack, and she then found herself being pulled hard by me and Rarity as we tried to let go of her. “Please! I’m glad we could help, but release me!” said Rarity. “Stop it, both of you, you’re stretching me!” cried Applejack. That’s when we all realized there was glue on Applejack’s hands, and worse… right down where we were standing was a small label from the barrel which read: “Guaranteed never to come unstuck, not even with magic.” …and the three of us gazed down at our stuck hands with extremely shocked expressions! The others didn’t like this much either. With the emergency over, Lightning gave Krysta the sphere containing Bugalar, charging her to take it to the palace to see that it got sent to Conva and Bugalar locked up again in prison. As for the glue that was lying all around, it couldn’t come unstuck, even with magic as the label had warned. So, before she left, Krysta instructed her nearby fairies to teleport all the glued and gooey objects--all the patches of grass, and the trees and lampposts-- just pull them all out of the ground and teleport them to the waste dump. Replacing the now vacant patches of grass and trees and other things would be easy. Then, Lightning compensated the pony hauler with a cheque for a large sum of money for spilling the glue and wrecking his wagon. “Well, thanks a bundle, but I still wish you hadn’t broke my wagon and spilt my glue.” he said. “I know…” Lightning said “Again, we’re very sorry.” The pony took it well. “Um, excuse me…” I complained “But aren’t you forgetting about us?” Starla tried with all the magic she could to melt the glue, Rarity helped, but in the end it was no use. The glue was magic-resistant, just like the label warned. “It’s no good, it won’t work.” Starla said. “Gee, you guys really are stuck.” said Spike. The girls and I were not amused. The pony observed our stuck hands and could see the bits of glue holding us together. “Well, the glue may be magic resistant, but my company does make a special potion that can get you unstuck. The problem is, it’ll take three whole days to make.” “THREE DAYS?!” the three of us shouted! “Well, yeah…” replied the pony “The ingredients have to be mixed and set and simmered just right. It’s a hard process.” “And you don’t keep an emergency quantity of this in reserve?” Starla asked. “Well… to be honest, this is the first time this has ever happened. Why do you think we warn people about our glue?” He pointed at several other warning labels from the shattered barrel. “Oh, great…!” grumbled Applejack “We’re gonna be stuck like this for the next three sunrises!” “Of all the worst things that could happen, this is THE… WORST… POSSIBLE THING!!” cried Rarity. “Ugh!” I grumbled “I’m going to have to spend the next three days listening to her whine!” Rarity then gawked at me angrily “Ah! I take extreme offense to that, sir.” “Whatever!” I sneered. “Ugh! Will you two knock it off!” snapped Applejack “I don’t like this anymore than you two, but it ain’t gonna change nothin’. We’re stuck like this and we’re gonna have to make the best of things.”  Rarity and I knew she was right, but even Lightning and the others all felt the same way, “I don’t think this will be easy.” Spike said. At around dinner time, the three of us were forced to eat out at the same restaurant. Luckily we chose one that had something for everyone.  All of us ordered sandwiches and fries, feeling they would be easier to eat. I was able to eat with just my one free hand, and Rarity used her free hand as well as her telekinetic magic to eat as well, but poor, Applejack; she was able to drink her milkshake through a straw, but she had to eat her food just by biting at it directly, the way ponies used to eat before they became human-shapped. “Really, Applejack…!” Rarity snorted “If we’re going to be stuck together you could at least show better table manners.” “Well excuse me for havin’ both my hands stuck down. So unless you want to feed me yourself, you got no choice.” I felt my patience already dwindling. “Here, I’ll help you, Applejack.” I said as I helped feed her fries and bits of her sandwich. “Thanks a bundle, Mykan.” she said to me “At least someone understands.” “Well it’s better than listening to you two quibble!” I said, but I said it to myself not wanting to make things worse. After dinner we all needed to use the rest room, except I needed to use the men’s room, I couldn’t go into the ladies’ room with the girls, nor could they come with me into the men’s room, and we couldn’t all fit into one cubicle anyway. “Come with me, I’ve got an idea.” I said, and with that, I pulled the girls along… outside the village into a clearing where no one could see us. “Mykan, whatever are you doing?” Rarity asked. “I think I get it; Good thinkin’ boy …” said Applejack, and with that, we both took turns evacuating behind a large bush-- looking away from one another to respect privacy--  much to Rarity outmost disgust. She couldn’t even find any words to say and nearly puked. “Not only is that horribly repulsive, but you don’t actually expect me to do THAT?” Applejack poked her up and sneered “Well you ain’t got much of another choice. You can’t hold it in all night. So just do it and get it over with!” Rarity knew she was right and she really did have to go, but she felt very nervous and skeptical about it “I can’t… I just can’t do it! What will others say of me if they find out? My reputation! My business! I’ll be ruined!” “I’ll ruin you if you don’t stop that whining!” I threatened her. “Ah!” Rarity sneered and she looked away, sulking, not that it mattered. Applejack and I were done as we stood up, and we both nodded at one another and yanked Rarity behind the bush. “Well, I never!” growled Rarity. “Look, just do it already!” Applejack sneered “We won’t even look at you.” Licked, Rarity began to undo her pants, “Well!” she sneered at me and Applejack, telling us to look away “You had better not be peeking…” “We’re not!” I snarled. Feeling satisfied, Rarity let loose, and made huge flatulence sounds which freaked me and Applejack out, and Rarity of course, not wanting us to see what she had done, used her magic to vaporize the mess away, but the smell was still there. “Who-wee!” cried Applejack “What in tarnation did you eat?” Rarity felt ashamed already, “If either of you utter a single sound about this…” “Oh, go hork up a haystack!” I snapped at her. Rarity felt like exploding in a fit of rage at such an insult and she grumbled “If it weren’t for the present circumstances, perhaps I would rather than put up with this!” Applejack could only sigh, “It’s gonna be a long night.” We all agreed to stay at Carousel Boutique; it was the only place with room to spare for the three of us, and we all slept downstairs in sleeping bags on the floor by the fireplace. At least it was warm. Rarity was snoring, not very loud, but it still annoyed me and Applejack more since she was closer than I was to Rarity, but the both of us were far too tired to try and argue. Sure enough, we managed to get a little sleep. Spike came into the kitchen the next morning, and stretched out, “Good morning everyone.” he said, but all three of us gawked at him with sneering glares. “Whoa, I am outta here…” here said, and he quickly dashed out the door. We all sat down to breakfast, and again, I had to help feed Applejack since Rarity was being so uncooperative. Suddenly, I dropped my spoon, and when I bent down to pick it up, I tugged on Applejack causing her to tug on Rarity making her spill orange juice down her clothes. “Ah! Look what you made me do!” she thundered. “Hey, it wasn’t my fault!” snapped Applejack. “I was just getting my spoon, sorry.” I said. The girls glared at me angrily. Applejack understood a little more, but Rarity’s eyes were blazing like volcanos “Just two more days, just two more days.” she said softly. “Um, technically yesterday wasn’t a full day,” I pointed out “So we’re still looking at like a full three days.” Applejack sulked and let her head rest on the table, “Oh, joy!” Rarity had to breathe into a paper-bag to keep herself from losing it, but all our troubles were only beginning. Applejack and I were both unable to go about our own businesses-- Applejack couldn’t do farm work without the use of her hands, and there was no way I could bring the girls to school with me like this-- which meant the only feasible thing we could all do was help Rarity with her work. “Well, at least it’ll kill time.” Applejack said to me, but we soon both found ourselves not enjoying it at all. With her left hand free and with her magic, Rarity was still able to do her own work without much difficulty-- using the sewing machine, folding fabrics, tying ribbons and other things she was good at. “Well, at least this much hasn’t changed.” she said to herself. Unfortunately, Applejack still couldn’t do much but just sit in the middle and was almost bored to sleep, as for me; Rarity was making me try to cut up all the fabrics along the lines she had drawn so she could sew them. Of all the courses I had taken in my prodigy years on Earth, and all the fields I was good in… Fashion was definitely not among them, but at least Applejack was able to help me keep it still so I could cut it, by both of us laying our glued hands on the fabric. “Be careful!” Rarity said practically scorning me, “That fabric is a very expensive original; it came all the way from New Manehattan!” “I’m doing my best!” I grouched at her. Applejack didn’t know how much more of this she could take. Rarity and I were arguing and grouching at one another more than she and Rarity ever did! She also had a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach that she only got when something really bad was bound to happen! As if it were bad enough working on the clothes, when the store opened up, Applejack and I had to manage things with Rarity. Though many ponies gawked at us three and the way we were holding hands. “We’re stuck together.” Applejack kept telling them, but that only made the ponies laugh at us more, so much they lost their spark to shop and left. “Will you kindly stop chasing off my customers?!” Rarity sneered. “I wasn’t tryin’ to chase ‘em off!” Applejack protested. Some ponies did shop, and they lined up by the checkout, and they were starting to grow impatient from lack of service and were ringing the desk bell demanding for help. Rarity was really starting to lose her cool, “Come on!” she snapped, pulling on me and Applejack, dragging us along, unfortunately, on the way to the checkout, Rarity walked one way around a display, and I walked round the other way, which made Applejack crash right into the display, knocking mannequins and piles of clothes all over the place. “My display!” cried Rarity, “Applejack, look what you’ve done!” “It ain’t my fault, you two pulled me this way!” “Well, why didn’t you say something?” I asked, rather sharply. “I would if you’d given me a chance!” Rarity felt more concerned about her ruined display, “Look at this mess!” she cried “It will take me ages to reset all this!” Our bickering got more and more heated up that the last of the customers abandoned their shopping and dashed out the door, leaving the store all but deserted, and more clothes had been thrown about when the customers left. Rarity’s face turned beet-red, and steam shot through her ears like a burning kettle, but as she opened her mouth to say anything, I quickly jumped in, “Don’t you go blaming this on us!” “And just whom should I blame? You both have been rather uncouth and annoying, not to mention horribly demanding.” “Pah!” I scoffed “We’ve been annoying and demanding? Look who’s talking? Do you have any idea how vain and shallow you are?” Rarity double gasped! “You called me… shallow?!” she practically screamed. “…Shallow as a puddle!” I replied. Rarity never felt so hurt in her life! Tears began to build in her eyes, but they immediately went away as she lashed, “How dare you say that to me you… you… BULL!!” I gasped equally as hurt and outraged, “You… I…. BULL?!! Why you little…!” “Why you big…!!” Applejack lost whatever remained of her patience and sanity, and just yanked on our arms flipping us both and herself flat on the floor; SPLAT!! All three of us lay flat on our backs panting in frustration and fury. “I… have… had it!!” shouted It Applejack “When we get outta’ this mess, I don’t think I ever care so see either one of ya again!” “Humph!” Rarity grunted “Well that’s just fine by me!” I simply turned away, not saying a thing to either of them! That’s when Spike finally came in from his outing, “I’m home, what did I miss?” he called out, but he saw the mess the store was it, and the three of us giving him that same snarling glare, but then we looked away from each other. “Okay, I’ll step out again.” The girls and I didn’t speak to each other for the rest of the day, and as if that weren’t bad enough, the girls kept their wings flapped over each other’s faces from the sides like walls, so we couldn’t even look at one another. That night, we were in our sleeping bags by the fire again. We weren’t looking at one another, but we were all wide awake, feeling a bit remorseful for yelling at one another, but not one of us was willing to break the ice. Yet, each of us seemed to think… Rarity: “Am I really that shallow? I do complain a lot but… shallow?” Me: “I guess I do have a bit of a temper like a bull. What am I going to do?” Applejack: “What was I thinkin’, flippin’ us all on the floor like that?” We didn’t know what to say or even if we wanted to speak. So we continued to ignore one another. The next morning, we got through breakfast peaceably, but even Spike didn’t wish to speak to any of us, not even his own wife, “You can stop looking at me like that.” he said to her, rather all of us “This is your problem to work out, not mine.” Then he excused himself from the table, leaving the three of us still being silent. We all did the dishes, together; I washed, and Rarity used her magic and her left hand to dry and put them away. Applejack couldn’t do anything of course. After that we did our best to help clean up the shop from the big mess that was left from the other day. We still said not a thing to one another, nor did the girls lower their wings. The shop was cleaned up, but all we felt like doing was just sitting on the pedestal stool where Rarity’s models would stand. We just sat there, still as the mannequins still not knowing what to say or do. *POV Ends* Meanwhile, Spike was sitting alone on a bench a few blocks away, and he was feeling a little depressed over this whole situation as well. What was going to his friends now? Such things like that would wreck his family life as well. “All this because of a little glue.” he said softly to himself “What else could go wrong?” Suddenly his nose gave a little twitch and he smelled something unusual yet familiar, and as he turned round he saw a huge monster; an anthropomorphic werewolf wearing combat gear, he roared at Spike and lunged at him. Spike rolled out of the way causing the monster to hit the ground. Many of the ponies passing by saw the creature and began to run away in panic. “Quick, sound the alarms!” Spike hollered to anyone who could hear him. The creature shouted out loud and pounded his huge fists ready for more! “I am Major Wolf Were! I only live to fight and to crush my enemies. I was put in jail fifty years ago by Starfleet, and now you shall be the first to feel my wrath!” Spike saw this was going to be trouble, and he quickly transformed; “Dragon Power!” He then lunged straight at the monster, but Wolf swerved and then lunged back towards him shouting, “WOLF KICK!” and giving him a huge kick to the chest, sending him skidding along the ground. Spike got back up, and he drew out his sword, “Is that all you’ve got?” Wolf snarled and extended his huge claws “Try me lizard brain!” The two lunged at one another, Wolf actually parried Spike’s sword with his claws, and swiped at him hard. Sparks flew everywhere and Spike was sent rolling along the ground again! “This is tougher than I thought. I need backup!” he cried. “SHARP CLAW!” Wolf shouted as he lunged forth, swiping his glowing claws at Spike, but Spike dodged causing Wolf to strike the ground resulting in a small explosion.  Finally, the alarms sounded. *Mykan’s POV* Back at the shop, the girls and I were started out of our trance by the sound of the alarms, and the girls finally lowered their wings. We all rushed to the door and saw the stampede of civilians running past the shop. “Hey, what’s going on?” I called out to anyone who might be listening. One of the ponies stopped and cried “There’s a monster in the park. The Dragon Knight is fighting it alone!” “Spike?!” cried Rarity “Oh, my goodness!” “Well let’s shake a leg!” shouted Applejack. “Here we go…!” I said and I activated my teleporter to get us to the park faster. We arrived on the scene to see Spike battling with Wolf. He swung his sword strong, but Wolf caught it in on claw, and then gave Spike a good swat with the other, sending him crashing hard into a bench, breaking it to bits. “Spike!” cried Rarity as we call ran up to him.  “You alright?” asked Applejack. “Yeah, I think…” groaned Spike. Wolf stomped on the ground and let out a huge howl, and he snarled, “Who wants to go next?” Despite being stuck together, the girls and I agreed to call a truce, or at least try to. Thankfully the girls could still transform-- Applejack used the back of her hand to press her energizer. I grabbed my sword with my right hand and shouted, “Let’s go!” The girls agreed, but as we charged forth we tripped on each other’s feet.  Spike slapped his helmet in dismay, while Wolf laughed hysterically, “I’ve fought against so many before, and that’s the silliest move I’ve ever seen.” The three of us were not amused. We tried to get up, but fell all over each other again. “Hey, watch it!” I sneered. “I was!” shouted Rarity. “Ah, cram it, and let’s at least stand!” growled Applejack. We finally managed to get up, but no sooner were we finally up on our feet did Wolf grab from behind his back a huge rocket launcher like weapon, “WOLF SHOT CANNON!” “Watch out!” shouted Spike, but Wolf already fire his gun launching a huge energy ball at us, resulting a huge explosion that sent all four of us sailing through the air and crashing to the ground. “Lucky for me I wore my armor vest.” I groaned. As for Wolf, his gun was only good for one shot at a time, and then it had to recharge, which would not take long. “I don’t even need my gun to finish you wimps off.” and he prepared to lunge at us again. “Here he comes!” cried Rarity, she tried to fly up and I tried to run the opposite away, which tugged Applejack’s arms, “Hey!” she shouted in pain, and we all fell down again. “Ugh! You guys…!” growled Spike, “You’ve got to start pulling it together!” All three of us knew he was right, and immediately we came up with one idea and quietly whispered to one another. “Here I come…!” shouted Wolf, and he lunged straight at us. “Now…!” shouted Applejack, and the three of us bolted upright without any problem. Rarity and I even grabbed hold of Applejack’s arms with our free hands and swung her back and then hard forward! Applejack gave Wolf a good kick in the face and sent him skidding along the ground. The angry wolf growled as he held his sore face, but he was more furious than hurt. “So, you can fight me after all! I don’t know if I should like OR HATE THAT!!” The three of us, and Spike just stared him down, and Wolf got up, growling angrily and lunged into attack us. “Up…!” Rarity shouted, and the girls and I leapt up high, while Spike dodged causing Wolf to miss us and hit the ground. Rarity and I then nodded at one another, and her horn and my sword glowed as we fired magical blasts at him, one-after-another. Wolf skilfully dodged each and every blow. “Ha! Missed me! Missed me again... Oh, so close!” We stopped shooting and all three of us smirked at him, much to his confusion. It was all just a distraction… “DRAGON FLAMEWHEEL!” Spike came rolling in, bashing him hard up, up, into the air right towards the girls and me. We all nodded at one another, and swerved to the right so he soared right past us, still going higher and higher. “Oh, yeah?!” he snarled, and he grabbed his gun, “Well try this! WOLF SHOT CANNON!” “We can’t try and dodge it, someone else could get hurt far away.” said Applejack. “I got an idea.” I said as I sheathed my sword. “What are you doing?” Rarity asked. “Trust me!” Wolf then fired his shot straight at us, but I pulled on the girls twisting us round so only I would take the hit. At once I shouted, “Shield of Righteous Courage!” and my magic shield appeared on my free arm, and I held it out, absorbing the shot and sent it firing back at Wolf. “Oh, no…!” Wolf cried, and he got hit hard by his own power and was sent crashing down, down, down to the ground! “YEE-HAW! Way to shoot ‘em boy!” Applejack said. “Wonderful!” added Rarity. I nodded thankfully at the girls and then called down to Spike, “Get him…!” “Huh?!” Wolf cried as he looked down and saw Spike holding his flaming sword, “DRAGON KNIGHT SABER… IGNITE!” He slashed hard, sending the burning power straight up at Wolf. Wolf roared and growled as the power consumed him, “I’m heading for the brig…!” then he exploded and reappeared shrunk down and imprisoned in a sphere. “We did it!” cried Spike, and the rest of us cheered for joy. Soon, all four of us reported to Lightning and Starla to present our catch. “Well done, everyone.” Lightning said, then he gazed at me, Rarity and Applejack, “But I am rather amazed you three managed to fight well despite being stuck together.” The three of us felt a little awkward, “Well, actually, it helped us to realize just how bad we’ve been towards one another.” Rarity said. “Eeyup, we should’ve spent more time workin’ together instead of bein’ at each other’s throats.” I nodded and gazed at the girls, “I’m… I’m sorry, girls, for being such a hardhead.” “I, too, am just as sorry.” said Rarity. “So am I…” added Applejack. Spike was very happy to see us make up, so were Lightning and Starla. “Well, what are you guys going to do about it now?” Starla asked. The answer was obvious… From that moment on, we began to listen to each other better, and talked things over before acting. When I dropped my fork or spoon, I warned the girls I was going to bend over. When Rarity wanted to walk one way, she made sure we could all go the same direction without colliding into anything. The only chores we did were easier ones that wouldn’t result in messing anything up or making horrible mistakes. Even at bedtime we tried to be more considerate. Though Rarity continued to snore and she denied this, Applejack and I just wore earmuffs instead. Then, the morning after the next, the glue pony came to the shop with the special potion his company made. One little spray on each of our hands, the glue dissolved, and… we were all free. “Ahh…!” Applejack sighed as she wiggled her fingers “I never felt so good.” “Amen to that.” I said as I cracked the knuckles on my left hand “I’ll never think the same about glue again!” Rarity was relieved to be free as well, but then she gazed at me and Applejack, and all three of us felt the same. “I guess we better get goin’. I got work to do on the farm.” said Applejack. “Yeah…” I agreed “I missed a lot of school.” “Well… um…” Rarity said as she searched for her words “I suppose we learned a little from this incident. Um, I mean if this should ever happen again.” “Well, we are different beings.” I said “We just have to learn to tolerate each other better.” “Eeyup.” was Applejack could say. Then she headed out the door and flew back towards the farmlands, and I used my teleporter and headed home to New Canterlot to catch up on my work. *POV Ends* Rarity stood where she was, silent and still. Spike came over to his wife and placed his hand on her shoulder, and she placed her free right hand over his, and smiled softly, remembering all she had learned and experienced the past few days. Even after going their separate ways, Mykan and Applejack gazed at their hands, and both felt the same.
