//------------------------------// // Checking In and The Cybrolator // Story: Equestria Girls go to Disney Quest // by Invinsible //------------------------------// Equestria Girls go to Disney Quest It had taken over two weeks but Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna were successful in organizing a field trip to Disney World. Several students were going on the trip along with Sunset Shimmer and her friends. Flying on an airplane for the first time was quite an…experience for Starlight Glimmer, but she had made it through the worst of the journey and now she was experiencing the wonders of Disney World for the very first time. At the All Star Movies resort, Starlight stared up at the gigantic statue of Buzz Lightyear and whistled in amazement. “Now I know how Twilight felt.” “How I felt about what?” Twilight asked as she and Sunset walked over to Starlight. “Sorry, I meant Princess Twilight. Ooh, did I ever tell you this story?” Starlight said, smiling at Sunset. “I was visiting Canterlot to help Princesses Celestia and Luna with a friendship problem. Princess Twilight couldn’t come but she was so worried about my visit that she took control of this toy sized ballerina in a music box and used it to talk to me, even though she was still in Ponyville!” She turned back to stare up at the Buzz statue. “Seeing how huge this toy is…well, you can figure out the rest.” “And do you know WHO that toy is?” Pinkie asked as she slid right up to Starlight, giving her a suspicious look. Sunset sighed. “Like I texted you the last FIVE times you asked me this, we had a movie night to bring Starlight up to speed on everything she’d need to know at Disney Quest.” Starlight smiled and nodded. “I’ve seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean, Wreck-It Ralph, and all three Toy Story movies.” Pinkie sighed in relief. “Phew! Along with Aladdin, that should be everything you need to know.” She paused and hummed in thought. “Why didn’t you see the Pirates sequels?” Starlight shrugged. “Sunset told me that they made four sequels, and unfortunately I didn’t have time to watch all of them.” “But you had two weeks!” Pinkie exclaimed. “And my life back in Equestria,” Starlight pointed out. “As much as I’d like to spend everyday watching movies, I’d miss having magic. I’d miss my friends.” Pinkie waved her hand in dismissal. “Trust me Starry, Disney World’s got plenty of magic and friendship to go around.” She grinned wildly and started bouncing up and down. “Now come on! We gotta get to Disney Quest before the place closes!” “Now simmer down, sugarcube!” Applejack said as she and the rest of their friends made their way over to Starlight, Sunset, Twilight, and Pinkie. “Since we’re all here mostly ta remember Disney Quest, Ah reckon we wanna be there a full day. Sun’s already down, so we…Hey! Apple Bloom, git over here! Come on girls, keep up with us!” “Sorry sis,” Apple Bloom said as she, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo hopped out of the Toy Story RC statue that they had squeezed into and rushed over to join them. “Now listen up, y’all. It’s too late ta go to a park and properly enjoy it, so for now let’s all git settled into our rooms. We can grab dinner, maybe check out the pool or the TV, and make sure we’re all bright up an’ early for tomorrow. That sound fair?” Applejack asked. The girls all nodded and headed towards their rooms. “WHEE! It’s still here, it’s still here!” Pinkie squealed with joy as she pulled her friends towards Disney Quest the next morning, just before 11:30. “Whoa. Big place,” Starlight commented as she examined the five-story building. She tilted her head and stared at the logo. “That’s got to be the most unique way I’ve ever seen the letter Q written.” “Ooh! Thanks for reminding me Starlight! Pictures!” Pinkie squealed again as she took out a camera from her backpack and began snapping photos. After about twenty flashes and beeps, Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. “Gee Pinkie, do you think you took enough?” “I’m not letting ANY detail go to waste!” Pinkie declared as she finally put her camera back in her backpack. “That’s why I brought not only my phone, but also SEVENTEEN cameras!” “Seventeen?!” Starlight exclaimed. “How did you fit them all in your bag?” Applejack crossed her arms and smirked. “Ah always figured ya had more in common with Mabel than Dipper.” “Who?” Starlight asked. As Pinkie let out a huge, wide-eyed gasp, Sunset quickly got in between her two friends. “Okay, we’re here to appreciate Disney Quest, right? We can bring Starlight up on Gravity Falls later. Trust me, you’ll love it Starlight.” Pinkie nodded. “You’re right, Sunset. Gravity Falls will always be there for us, but Disney Quest is fading fast! We need twenty CC’s of friendship, Disney magic, and memories FAST! Tally ho!” Pinkie ran into the building giggling all the way. The rest of her friends followed her at a slower but still very excited pace. “Sister, sister! There it is!” Luna said as she dragged Principal Celestia with her. “Luna, settle down. I’m happy to be here too, but please, people are staring,” Celestia whispered. “I don’t care if my Mickey Mouse ears look ‘silly’ as you call it, this is the only place in the world where said ‘silliness’ is encouraged!” “Mouse ears aside, can we at least wait before we go in? I just saw Sunset and her friends go inside, and it’s always so awkward to see students outside of school.” Celestia rolled her eyes. “Not to mention that if Disney magic isn’t the ONLY kind of magic we find in there, I’d rather not get caught up in any Equestria shenanigans while we’re on vacation.” As the two sisters argued and made their way over to Disney Quest, Pinkie was already inside the main entrance, rapidly taking pictures of everything that she saw. “Come on girls, get out your cameras! Disney Quest must be preserved!” As the girls got their wristbands scanned in to enter Disney Quest, Starlight spent some time looking at the busts of famous Disney characters sitting at the top of a few pillars. “Okay let’s see here…we’ve got Pinocchio, Jafar, that’s Pocahontas, there’s Buzz Lightyear, there’s Maleficent…which movie is the duck guy from?” “Mighty ducks, I think,” Sunset answered.“It’s a movie about an ice hockey, but that’s all I know about it.” “Okay. And this word on the banner, it’s…Super…Super-cal…what?! How do you pronounce that?” Pinkie immediately jumped in between the two transfigured unicorns. “Oh, it’s… Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!” Before Pinkie could get into the next verse, Sweetie Belle reached up and slapped her hand over Pinkie’s mouth and shook her head. “Don’t sing the whole song! We haven’t gotten Scootaloo to see Mary Poppins and we don’t want any spoilers!” “Girls, come along now” Rarity said as she, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash led Apple Bloom, Sweetie, and Scootaloo got into the elevator. “Okay, the Genie is going to help you all up and then he’s going to come back down for your friends. Take it away Genie,” a Disney Quest cast member said before the elevator closed behind the six girls. Still out in the front entrance, Pinkie gasped.“Wait, Genie?!” “Hold on, back up a bit. What does super…that word even mean?!” Starlight asked, her mind feeling a tiny bit overwhelmed at the majesty of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Twilight pulled up her phone and searched for the word. “It’s a word that comes from another Disney movie, Mary Poppins. It has a few different meanings. It’s a way to say something is incredibly good but it can also be used as ‘something to say when you have nothing to say’. It can also mean ‘Atoning for educability through delicate beauty’. It’s also known as one of the longest words in English. However the actual longest word in English is…” “Okay, that’s enough egg-head talk for now. Let’s go!” Pinkie said, impatiently pushing Twilight towards the elevator. “What? But I wanted to-” Sunset sighed and stuffed Twilight's phone back into her backpack. “Come on Twilight, even you have to side with Pinkie on this one. I’m pretty sure the longest English word literally takes an hour to pronounce. A stunned Starlight followed her friends into the elevator, shaking her head.“Never thought I could learn so much in an arcade.” When the elevator touched back down, Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy, Starlight, and Sunset got on next. Pinkie’s awed grin grew even wider as the Cybrolator started up. She pulled out a camera and started recording as the elevator lights flickered on and off with a crackling sound before they shut off completely. The Genie’s head appeared on a screen in front of the girls, coughing out a cloud of smoke. “Oh, hey. I specifically asked for a non-smoking flight!” The Genie then appeared to the right side, full bodied and transformed into a blonde woman wearing a flight attendant uniform. “Welcome aboard Cybrolator. Our estimated flight time to Ventureport will be oh, forty-five seconds.” As the Genie turned his head, the blonde wig briefly flew off his head before he snatched it up and put it back on, adjusting his wig and uniform. The Genie leaned closer to the screen with a smile and wagged his finger. “Remember, it’s not an elevator!” The flight attendant Genie disappeared just as another Genie appeared in his normal clothes, in the pilot seat of a rocket ship shouting, “It’s an ADVENTURE!” The rocket ship flew around the screen before cutting to the next scene. Another Genie wearing a yellow vest and red tie hovered by two computer screens, one of the screens displaying a countdown. He filed his nails and calmly announced, “Cybrolator, you are cleared for liftoff.” Another Genie appeared beside him, with a brown mustache and wearing a red sweater. “Captain! We’re overloaded! We can’t take that kind of pressure!” The other Genie ignored the distressed Genie’s warnings and spun around, shooting lightning at him with a few quick finger bangs. The distressed Genie disappeared as the calm Genie smiled in satisfaction. The blonde Genie reappeared, standing next to a whirlpool. “In the unlikely event of a water landing, your friends or family members can be used as flotation devices!” He grinned as a thin blue water tube with his face on it appears around his waist. Pinkie grabbed Fluttershy in a hug at this point, causing Fluttershy to shoot a bewildered look in her direction. The flight attendant Genie disappeared, and the Genie reappeared as a big blue rocket ship, with his face at the top. “Three, two, one, ignition!” The rocket ship briefly started up but remained on the ground, belching out a lot of smoke. “Uh, Houston?” Genie asked. Another second passed before the rocket ship blasted off into space. Electricity started to crackle around the Cybrolator. As the Cybrolator began to rise, the screen zoomed into the middle of space, focusing on the giant laser from Ventureport. An explosion broke out through the screen and the Genie came flying and spiraling towards the girls, screaming with joy before he teleported away. Stars sparkled in the elevator ceiling as the Cybrolator doors opened and the Genie cheered, “Welcome to Ventureport!” “YAY! I got it all!” Pinkie cheered as she hugged her phone to her heart, dancing all the way out of the Cybrolator. “Whoa. They should call that thing the ‘Hype-brolator’! Eh?” Starlight said, nudging Sunset’s shoulder. Sunset rolled her eyes at the joke, but Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were polite enough to chuckle. Starlight’s gaze wandered all over the Ventureport landing. She saw a big Wreck-It Ralph statue standing off in the corner. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were already taking turns posing next to it as Sweetie took pictures. At the four corners of the landing were the entrances to the Explore zone, the Create Zone, the Score Zone, and the Replay Zone. The Explore Zone entrance was guarded by a tiger’s head, much like the Cave of Wonders had been guarded in Aladdin. A comic book background and a mysterious supervillain framed the entrance to the Score Zone. Scootaloo pointed at the supervillain and whispered to Rainbow. “Don’t ya think she looks like a cross between Maleficent and a Sith lord?” Rainbow examined the picture of the villain and chuckled, nodding in agreement. The Create Zone entrance was framed by an artist’s paint palette and a paintbrush. Rarity and Fluttershy were already leaning towards that particular zone. And lastly, the Replay Zone was framed by a simple silver arch with a white and red rocket ship blasting off from the side of it. Starlight finished her brief spin around the room in amazement before she stared up at the giant laser and pointed at it. “Which movie is that from?” “Uh, I don’t think it’s from a movie,” Sunset said. “Yuppers! No backstory behind it, it’s just Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ly cool-looking! Just like EVERYTHING else here!” Pinkie sang, jumping up and down. She spread out her arms and grinned. “Alright ponies of Equestria, are you ready for the greatest night of your lives?!” “Yeah!” Starlight cheered. “You too, Sunny! I can’t hear you! Are you READY?!” ”YEAH!” the unicorns cheered together. ”Alrighty then! What are we gonna do first?!”
