The day seemed simple enough; ponies laughing, the weather being perfect, and the Ed's trying yet again trying another scam that was ending in a slow painful way. "Remind me again why this was even an acceptable idea?" Double D asked as he looked at all the empty cups and paper plates.
"Last time I checked, conjoined restaurants were popular." Eddy replied, "So why not get two scams out for the price of one?" It is true the trio did combine their taco stand with their En-o-gee drink stands in the hope the combination would lead to easier riches.
"Olé!" Ed shouted as he brought in more grass for the tacos, but at this point the amount of grass was starting to stink up the stand.
"At least I managed to keep this jar of my brother's hot sauce with me when we were being chased." Eddy stated as Ed began to eat the taco ingredients along with the sauce.
"I think this is the only real ingredient here." Double D said grabbing a few droplets, "We're surrounded by crayons and lawn trimmings."
"This sauce is a real gut burner, these ponies should be running towards us." Eddy added as he finally ate some of the sauce.
Unfortunately the trio had not learned their lesson on the hot sauce as the heat was starting to take over; Double D was the first to give in as his hat started to give off steam. Eddy quickly saw this as he saw Ed's head burnt up like a used match stick. Finally Eddy began to crack as the three hairs on his head began to burn up like dynamite. With the combined heat of the trio lead to the stand to go up in a fiery inferno. The friends rushed towards the nearest source of water in hopes to douse the fires within them, until a loud shriek broke them out of their hysteria.
"Oh dear, a shout of terror." Double D spoke out.
"Dad's home!" Ed shouted with joy.
Rainbow Dash flew about as if she won the lottery, well it wasn't the lottery but it was the next best thing. She went to Carousel Boutique to tell Rarity the news.
"Honestly Rainbow, couldn't this have waited?" The fashionista asked, "I am in the middle of fixing a dress."
"It can wait, guess who has an invite to the Wonderbolts' annual meeting in Manehattan?" Rainbow asked with a wide grin.
Rarity couldn't believe he ears at the news Rainbow said and couldn't help but shriek in utter joy. "Are you going to invite the other girls?" She quickly asked.
"Yeah about that..." Rainbow started, "Seems like you, me, and Pinkie are the only ones free to go; I'd hate to see the rest of the invites go to waste."
Soon enough Rarity got an idea, "What if we weren't the only three available."
Later
"A Dickie? They make these things here?!" Eddy asked as he and the Ed boys were pretty much Rarity's mannequins for formal clothing that could fit them.
"Oh please, be glad you only have to wear these for the one night and only for a few hours." Rarity said as she put the finishing touches on the suits.
"Yeah and you three better act civilized." Rainbow said, "Not only for you guy's image, but to keep from embarrassing yourselves, but us in the progress."
"I can full heartedly say that I can say that we will try our best." Double D said holding his hand up.
"Hey Ed, bet you can't try and beat Secret Agent Eddy!" The big mouthed Ed Boy said socking Ed in the arm.
"Do not taunt the Claw!" Ed retorted, forming one of his hands into a vague pirate hook. Eddy quickly tackled the oaf causing a mess in the boutique with Rarity quickly following them.
"Stop these shenanigans!" She exclaimed, "These suits are not fitted for relaxed fit!"
"Well hopefully they will get most of that out of their system."
Later on in the Day
Twilight and the others were seeing the Ed's and girls off, "You guys have fun with the Wonderbolts."
"Try not to act all fancy scmancy when y'all return alright" Applejack said jokingly.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Rainbow said as Ed and Rarity were taking the luggage.
"Yeah, like the voyage of the Nostromo this should be fun!" Ed said with joy.
Eddy couldn't help but try to break the news to big lug, "Ed you do know that that ship had-" He was soon Stopped by Double D.
"Let him have his moment." With that the train began to depart the station, heading towards Manehattan.
Somewhere within the Ghastly Gorge
"The Ed-boy's fortitude is to be admired!" Rolf said as he carried the pile of junk that Wilfred usually carried.
'I told you that straining the pig was an idiotic idea. Especially since he attacked you.'
"Silence Intet!" Rolf shouted towards the empty space around him, "We will find Wilfred, and when we do he will be stricken from the annual 'Son of a Shepard Custard Bake-Off'!"
'Sure buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night.'
Rolf's journey had been rather cumbersome since the crash landing he had caused. Not only did his loyal swine leave him; but when Rolf tried to get him back, he attacked the young man with little to no hesitation and quickly ran off.
"Trust me Intet, the will of the Son of a Shepard beats strong like the hearts of thirty yaks! Not only will we find Wilfred, but we have the Ed-boys' heads upon spears by nightfall."
'Listen Rolf, we don't even know where those fools are! For all we know we are just running around in an endless wild goose chase for people that may or may not even be here!'
"They are here, I can smell trickery and toast upon the winds!"
'That's just the food you have cooking getting to you. Take a break for once in your journey and drink some water.'
"Intet, I do not require such things, my will to hunt the Eds down fuels me!"
'Why did I get stuck with this loon?'
