On a sunny day at CHS, Sun and her friends are busy at work washing cars. Sun and Applejack put sponges inside the bucket of soapy water and run to go wash the next car.

Pinkie happily chants, "To the right! To the right! To the left! To the left! Now up! Now up! Bring it down! Spin it around! Wash that car like you mean it! Come on!"

Sun, Applejack, and Aria scrub the red truck with the soapy sponge. Then Fluttershy and Sonata use the hose to soak down the car until the soap is all gone. Rarity and Adagio use hair dryers to dry up the car. And for the finishing touch, Pinkie use hand scrubbers to put the shine on the red vehicle.

In the red truck is Big Mac, and he hands out some money.

Rainbow takes the cah as she says, "Hah! Thanks, Big Mac."

Then Big Mac drives the car away.

"Sweet! More cash to add to the stash!" Rainbow holler in excitement.

"Woo-hoo!" Pinkie cheers, waving the scrubbers like pom poms.

Rarity sighs in exhaustion, and says, "How about a little break? All of this sunshine and suds are doing a number on my hair."

Everyone agree to the idea, and get a drink of apple juice from the ice cooler. They have been working hard, and think it will be a good idea for a break.

Rainbow begin to notice there is one person missing from their group. Rainbow asks, "Hey, anybody seen Twilight lately?"

"I'm here," Twilight answers as she runs back to the others.

She is holding the box as she says, "I was just going over the numbers again."

"Have we raised enough to make all the repairs to Camp Everfree?" Sun asks.

"We've only raised half. I counted the money four times just to be sure," Twilight sadly answers, taking a quick peak in the box.

Everyone sigh in disappointment.

"It's all right. We can just wash more cars. There's gotta be some we missed," Applejack replies.

However, they all look to see there are no more cars at the parking lot. The only thing that is there is their car washing equipment.

"I think we're going to need another idea to raise money," Falling Star replies.

"But we're running out of time! The camp fundraising deadline is next week. And Pinkie Pie's already hosted a bake sale, Twilight and Fluttershy had that doggie day care,Adagio and her sisters did a music concert, and Sunset Shimmer and I planned this car wash," Rainbow says.

"We're running out of ideas," Aria bluntly replies.

Jus then, Rarity says with full confidence, "Not to worry, darlings. It's my turn to devise a plan, and I already have something amazing in mind. It will be the most profitable of all of our fundraising events! The pièce de résistance!"

"Hee-yoo! Now we're talkin'! What's your idea?" Applejack asks in excitement.

"Meet me in the music room later this afternoon, and I will explain everything," Rarity answers with glee.

Everyone decides to leave to head back to the music room to hear what Rarity's idea is. Well the only ones who haven't left is Falling Star and Spike.

With a smug, Spike suspects, "You got nothin', huh?"

"How did you know?!" Rarity whimpers in shock.

Falling Star simply blink her eyes in reply. Then simply rolls her eyes.

At Canterlot Mall, Rarity and Falling Star are having a walk around, hopefully will help Rarity come up with a fundraising idea. So far, Rarity has nothing. Falling Star tries to help, but can't come up with good ideas either.

"Oh, rats. Three hours and still no ideas for a lucrative last-minute fundraiser. Usually, window-shopping inspires me," Rarity says, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll come up with something," Falling Star says with a reassuring smile.

"I sure hope so. Thanks for coming with me," Rarity says with a calm smile.

"Anytime," Falling Star says with a smile.

The two continue walking around the mall, hoping to come up with an idea to raise money.

Just then, she hears someone asking, "Are you a musician?"

"Hmm?" Rarity and Falling Star questionably replies.

Then they hear the voice again asking, "Do you and friends love to dance?"

The two look up to see a television on top of one of the stores.

Rarity calmly answers. "Yes,"

"Are you unique, cool, stylish?" The t.v adds to the question.

"Yes, yes, yes, and... obviously!" Rarity answers with a smile.

Then the t.v asks, "Do you want to win a cash prize?"

"Yes!" Rarity cheers.

"Then enter the Canterlot Mall Chance to Prance Competition! All you need is a music video of your own original song and dance. Then you could be prancing your way to first prize! Sign up now at the booth near the Aunt Orange smoothie kiosk," The television explains the event.

Hearing the name Falling Star questions, "Aunt Orange? Isn't that Applejack's aunt,"

"That's the one. These are one of the smoothies kiosk that Applejack's aunt have build here," Rarity explains.

"Cool," Falling Star replies.

Then she asks, "Are we entering the dance contest."

"You know it," Rarity answers with a smile.

Rarity and Falling Star begin to make their way to the kiosk to sign up for the contest. Just then, Rarity stops to see a shimmering red dress covered in silver sparkles in one of the the display window. Seeing the dress, the inspiration for the dance routine has struck her.

"Oh, we're certain to win!" Rarity happily cheers.

Rarity and Falling Star reach the smoothe kiosk. Rarity brings out a pin and begin to sign up for the music video contest. What the two girls don't know, is that four familiar girls from Crystal Prep see her signing up.

The one Sour Sweet happily says, "Rarity! What a nice surprise!"

That catches Rarity's and Falling Star's attention.

However, Sour angrily mutters, "Not."

Rarity gasps with a smile, and says, "Sour Sweet! Sunny Flare! Why, it's been ages,"

"It's only been a few months since the Friendship Games," Sugarcoat clarifies.

"Is that all? Wow!" Rarity says with a giggle.

Then Rarity asks, "How is everything over at Crystal Prep Academy?"

"Oh, things at CPA have never been better since Principal Cadance took over," Sunny Flare answers.

"Yeah. She's going to let us have the summer dance on a yacht," Sour answers with glee.

Then mutters "If we raise the money."

"Ooh, sounds divine," Rarity says, thinking it's a fun idea.

"Then Lemon asks, "Are you signing up for the "Chance to Prance" contest, too?"

"I am! Heh-heh." Rarity answers, putting her paper in the box.

Then she asks, "Are you girls here to sign up for the competition?"

"We definitely aren't here because we like standing in lines," Sugarcoat bluntly replies.

"I assume you already have a video concept figured out. The competition's going to be pret-ty fierce," Sour asks.

Falling Star doesn't seem to like the tone Sour Sweet and the other girls are giving Rarity, but afraid to say something.

Rarity happily answers, "Yes, it came to me as soon as I saw that gorgeous red ruffled ensemble on the way over here."

Just then, and idea hit Sour Sweet, and persuades Rarity, "Oh. Tell me more."

Her eyes turn to Sunny and Sugarcoat and understand the idea. Falling Star looks at the girls can can tell that the girls have something up their sleeves. But on the other hand, Rarity seems to really trust them, and worried about saying anything.

"Oh! Well, each member of the Rainbooms is going to dance in a different style—like flamenco, hip-hop, or street ballet—and we'll wear costumes to match each genre. Designed by yours truly, of course," Rarity explains with a giggle.

"That sounds like a very good concept," Sugarcoat replies.

"Yeah, heh, I guess it's okay. If you're going for way too over-the-top," Sour adds

"Thanks!" Rarity replies.

Then she asks, "So, what's your concept?"

"Nothing. We don't have one yet," Sugarcoat bluntly answers.

"What she means is it's a surprise! But it's a-ma-zing. So original, "Sour Sweet corrects that statement, sounding a bit nervous.

Then Sugarcoat asks, "So, aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?"

"Huh?" Rarity questions.

Then turns around to see Falling Star standing next to her. She realizes that she is so busy talking to the Shadowbolts, that she forgot to introduce them to Falling Star.

Rarity giggles in embarrassment, "Sorry about that. Falling Star these are our friends from Crystal Prep; Sur Sweet, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, and Lemon Zest. Girls, this is Falling Star, my new friend and a new member on The Rainbooms.

Feeling a bit shy, Falling Star waves her hand, and says, "Hi."

Sour Sweet and the others look a bit confused to see her.

"Uh, didn't see already saw her at the Friendship Games?" Lemon asks.

Rarity and Falling Star look at each other with skeptic looks. Of course, Rarity understands what they are talking about.

Rarity calmly says, "Actually, this Falling Star is not the same one you're familiar with. She, uh, lived in this world not the pony world you saw in the games."

"Please don't remind us about that. We're still trying to get over what happened." Sour calmly asks.

"Of course, darling," Rarity calmly says.

Rarity and Falling Star begin to take their leave.

Rarity happily happily says, "Good luck on your music video.

"Good luck to you too," Sour happily replies, but mostly a fasade.

As they leave to tell the girls, Falling Star looks back at the four Shadowbolt girls and become a bit concern. She still getting a funny feeling with the four girls and how Rarity shares her idea with them. However, she still feel reluctant about sharing her thoughts with Rarity. She decides to just wait and see what will happen.
