"Hiya Autumn!" I think I heard something to the left of me. "Autumn, hey!" There it was again. Don't listen to it Autumn. It was going well until a Pink fur ball made entirely of the color pink, was blocking the way in front of me by bouncing in place. "Awww Autumn, what's wrong?" she stopped bouncing.
"Nothing Pinkie," I replied, glaring. 'I think it's because whenever you're around, something goes wrong.' 

"Hey! Its not my fault that the author is bad at hiding them!" she looked to the sky. I stare confused at Pinkie "Uhh what?" I asked. She looked back at me, "Oh nothing," she waved with her hoof and squeed. "Anyway bye Autumn, I need to go back to Sugar Cube Corner and help the Cakes." she bounced away. " I kept staring at her until she rounded the corner. I shake my head and went back to the route. 'Pinkie....' I needed to get home quickly before she came back so I galloped all the way back.




Back with Scoots


Since I couldn't go with Autumn since Pinkie Pie had him, I decided to fly to Rainbow's. I looked to the sky, just I have to find it first. Scanning the sky, I say a cloud that looked like Rainbow's flouting near Autumn's. I decided to investigate.

Nearing the cloud, I saw a cloud house on it. It is Rainbow's cloud home. Landing on the cloud, I walked to the door.

*Knock Knock*




Inside


*Snore*
*Knock Knock* 
I stumble awake from the knock at the door. I begrudgingly picked myself off the bed and flew to the door and open it while rubbing my eyes, "Yeah what?" I asked to the pony, still rubbing my eyes. "Heya Rainbow!" I heard the Squirt's voice. Not rubbing my eyes, I looked down and saw the Squirt. "Oh hi Squirt." I greeted, "wait, where's Autumn?"

"Oh Pinkie caught up with him," Squirt said, "and I decided that Pinkie will keep him for a while, so I came here." I nod as Pinkie will likely do that. "Well now that you are here, what do you want?" I asked her. 

"Well, tell me about the Rainbow Factory." I gave a little grin. "Well actually," I dragged my hoof across the bare cloud, "In a few days, I am heading to the factory, so... why don't you fly there with me?" Her eyes widen and she gave a huge grin. "*Gasp* Really?!" I nod "Yes! I would love to!" She shot up into the sky with a flap of her wings. I flew up next to her, "Whoa calm down Scoots," I guided her back down to the cloud, I laugh "the factory is just an old rusty place where ponies go to die."

"I know," she landed on the cloud, "I'm one of them, remember?" I laugh, "I guess that's true." Scoots was looking over the edge of the cloud and sighed. "What's wrong Squirt?" She shakes her head, "Oh! Nothing..." Scoots had this worried look on her face. "Oh!" She brightens up, "I need to go tell Autumn! Bye Rainbow!" She flew off to Autumn's, I wave. 'Let's hope he doesn't expect it.'




Autumn

"Mmmmhh" I stretched as I rose from the bed. I sigh, "Celestia, it is too late in the day for this." What is today even? I looked for a calendar, but I failed, because I didn't have a calendar. "Ugh never mind." Getting off oh my comfort, I walked to the door. I groan as I shook myself awake.

*Knock, Knock Knock*

'Oh my Celestia' who in Equestria would go to a pony's house this late at night? "I really don't want to walk all the way over and open it." I grumble to myself.

*Knock Knock*

Ohh~~ you're persistent huh? Good to know.

*KNOCK-KNOCK KNOCK*

"Oh Ok Fine! I'm coming!" I was convinced to open the door. Rubbing my eyes, I looked through the peep hole. On the other side was Scootaloo. Oops. I opened the door, "Whoa Autumn," she said, a little startled, "did you wake up on the wrong side of the hay this morning?"

"No, I wasn't able to," I explained, "because it's still night!" I walked out the door and closed it behind me. "Now, what is it?"

"Well, earlier, I was heading here, and I saw that Pinkie caught you, so I decided, 'hey, since its Pinkie Pie, she might have him for a while,' so I flew up to rainbow's, told her, and I asked her about the factory, and she said that she was heading tho the factory in a few days," I narrow my eyes, "And?"

"And she asked if I wanted to go with her to the factory," she gulped as she looked at the expression on my face. "Is something wrong?" I noticed the expression and shook my head, "Oh no, nothing, its just, your first time there, you may or may not be lucky."

"Uhh, what does that mean?"

"Nothing." I yawn, "Now could you leave. I need to go back to bed, and you need to go home, for tomorrow, there is school, and we need another pony." She pouts, "Fine, I'll leave." she started flying away, "Bye Autumn."

"Bye." she flew in the direction of the town. When she was no longer in sight. I looked to the sky for Rainbow's cloud. After locating it, I was flying towards it and mumbled, "This better be better than it sounds, or we are gonna have a problem."



*Snore*

*KNOCK-KNOCK KNOCK*

"AHHHH!!!" I screamed as I shot up to the ceiling and clung to it with my life. I was shivering as I clung. Looking around, I saw nothing that could have made that sound.

*KNOCK KNCOK* 

I glare at the object of disturbance, the door. I detached from the ceiling and marched to the door. "WHAT IS IT?!" when I open said door, I saw the pony who made the noise, and it was Autumn, and he did not look happy. I felt small as I looked at him. "O-o oh hey Aut-Autumn, what bri-brings you here?"

"You better explain."
