A door opens and the Rainbooms walked out. They find themselves in an outside area. Sunset Shimmer realizes something about their outfits. “Hey, guys. We have our regular clothes on.”
Sunset was right. The other girls saw that they have their own clothes on.
“Cool.” Dash cheered. “I can walk around in these.”
“I kind of gotten used to that medieval wardrobe Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and I were sporting.” Rarity implied.
“Don’t get me wrong, Rarity. Dressing like medieval heroes did feel good. But, there’s nothing like going back to modern times.”
“I have to agree with you there, Dashie.” Twilight Sparkle said.
Soon, the seven friends took a look at their surroundings. It looks like they’re on top of a brick road looking over the mountains. The night sky was sparkling with stars as the full moon shined brightly.
“What a beautiful sight.” Fluttershy cooed.
“It sure is.” Sunset agreed. “Princess Luna would feel right at home, being a princess of the night.”
Applejack pointed out to the floor beneath them. “Did you guys see this road. It feels like we’re walking on a wall.”
“You’re right.” Twilight agreed. “Possibly the Great Wall of China.”
“That’s a good guess.” A deep female voice replied.
Hearing the voice, the girls turned around and saw someone coming. The woman comes to view wearing a deep pink kimono style dress with red and white on the bottom. Her long black hair was flowing in the breeze. The girls are astounded by this woman’s arrival.
“Oh my.” Rarity gasped. “It’s Mulan!”
“Mulan?” Rainbow Dash barked. “The warrior princess?”
“You could call me that.” Mulan replied.
Pinkie rushed up to Mulan. “Wowee! Are you the maiden who posed as a man to join an honorable army when she realized her father was too sick to fight?”
“You guessed it correctly, Pinkie Pie.” Mulan answered. “Sounds like someone learned about my legendary story.”
“Wasn’t there a true story about you that originally came from China?” Applejack wondered.
“I believe you’re right, Applejack. And also, where you seven are is like the Great Wall of China. As your brainy friend, Twilight Sparkle, figured.”
Hearing her name, Twilight blushed.
“Looks like Mulan appreciates your intellect.” Rainbow Dash commented.
Dash felt a tap on her shoulder. She turns around and sees Mulan looking at her.
“And, I appreciate your sense of adventure, Rainbow Dash.” Mulan stated.
“Thanks, Mulan.” Dash replied. “Is everything okay with your family?”
“It’s all good. After the defeat of the Huns, my father and the emperor of China were both proud of me.”
“I guess your father was wrong thinking you bring shame to your family.” Sunset said with confidence.
“I believe you’re right, Sunset Shimmer. Anyone can make a mistake.”
Mulan then turned to the mountain area. “Have a look out there, my friends.”
The girls then turned to look at the mountains.
“What are we looking at,” Twilight wondered, “besides the mountains?”
“You’ll soon find out, Twilight.” Mulan answered.
Suddenly, they saw something in the sky. It was a beautiful fireworks display. The girls were amazed by the colors and the patterns.
“Wow!” Pinkie Pie cheered. “What a fireworks show!”
“You said it, Pinks.” Dash added. “This is awesome!”
“It’s beautiful.” Fluttershy cooed.
When the show was over, everyone was happy they saw the show.
“What was the fireworks for anyway?” Fluttershy asked.
“For a very special occasion, Fluttershy.” Mulan answered. “To celebrate victory against the Huns.”
“Good idea.” Applejack said happily. “It’s a great feeling when those evil soldiers were done in.”
“Indeed.” Rarity agreed. “Those Huns were all going down when their leader, Shan Yu, was destroyed by fireworks.”
“Shan Yu was one of the toughest challenges I ever faced, Rarity.” Mulan informed. “But, all of China saw that I’m not as helpless as many think.”
“Like your father?”
“Exactly.”
Mulan soon went to the front of the line. “Rainbooms, follow me.”
The girls follow Mulan along the brick path. The brick turned to grass as they made their way to a beautiful meadow with benches. Mulan then turned to the girls. “Have a seat, my friends.”
Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy sat on one bench. Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, and Rainbow Dash sat on the other. Pinkie was without a seat.
“Don’t worry, Pinkie.” Mulan assured. “I haven’t forgotten you.”
Mulan presented a chair for Pinkie, next to Applejack’s group.
“It’s true. I have had my obstacles.” Mulan stated. “But, I overcome them. I’m sure there were obstacles you girls overcome.”
“You’re right, Mulan.” Twilight Sparkle answered. “One time, we had a pop quiz at our school. I offered to tutor my friends. So that we can pass together.”
“Tell me about it.” Mulan inquired.
Twilight told Mulan her story. “My traditional way of tutoring wasn’t going so well. So, I used other methods, reflecting my friends’ talents.”
“We were all amazed by her methods.” Fluttershy praised.
Twilight continued. “I had Rainbow Dash run tracks while solving problems.”
“I didn’t think that would work.” Dash informed. “But, it worked.”
“I had Fluttershy get help from her animal friends.” Twilight went on. “Rarity sewn her answers on her clothes.”
“That’s right.” Mulan figured. “Rarity is somewhat of a fashion designer.”
“Correct, darling.” Rarity replied as she turns to Twilight. “Proceed, Twilight.”
Twilight went on with her tale. “I play a chess game with Sunset. I use balloons to help Pinkie Pie. And, Applejack made a lighted apple molecule model.”
“Interesting.” Mulan replied. “The results?”
“We all got ready, took the test, and all passed.”
Mulan applauded the story. “Very good, Twilight. That’s very imaginative of you to get your friends ready for that test.”
Twilight Sparkle blushed a little as her friends applauded. Mulan got everyone’s attention. “See that brick shack?”
Everybody saw the shack. Applejack responded. “Yup. We see it.”
“That’s where you have to go next. I have to go. My husband, Shang, is waiting for me.”
“That’s right.” Dash realized. “You and Shang got married some time after Shan Yu was wiped out.”
“That’s right. Farewell, my friends.”
Mulan walks back to the brick path as the Rainbooms see the shack.
“You heard Mulan.” Twilight indicated. “Let’s move out.”
The Rainbooms head for the shack, thinking of who they’ll meet next.
