At her farmland home one morning, Megan sits under a tree with tears in her eyes. Her mother came over to try to cheer her up.
“Are you okay, Megan?” The mother asked with concern.
“Not really.” Megan answered sadly. “I can’t believe that I’m not going on vacation with Danny and Molly this season.”
“I’m shocked as well. Your father and I even had extra farmhands to help us this year.”
Megan began to shake as she starts to sob. “It was not fair for Aunt Rachel to have me stay home.” She began to cry loudly. “I was all set to stay at the hotel Danny and Molly are going to. Now, I can’t join them or that spoilsport Aunt of mine!”
Megan cried loudly and shook more until her mother grabbed her. “Megan! Calm down! You don’t want to me to tie you up and have you taken to the barn. Do you?”
Hearing that, Megan flashed back to when Princess Celestia had her tied up after being verbally abused by the pony, Shadow Streak. She soon calmed down. “No, I guess not.”
“Then, don’t panic. I’m sure somebody will think of something.”
Inside her bedroom, Megan had her boots off and is laying on her bed, trying to think of a possible solution to this situation.
Mom does have a point. Megan thought. There has to be a way to enjoy my vacation time. Even if I have to stay home. Suddenly, an idea came into her head. “I got it!”
Megan went into her dresser drawer, and got out a midnight blue binder with a picture of a magenta colored star and sparkles on it. She opened to her first page, which is blank, took a pen, and began to write.
“Dear Twilight Sparkle,” She started, “I have a week off from school, and was all set for a vacation. However, a relative decided to have me excluded. And now, I can’t join Danny and Molly. I wonder if I can spend some vacation time with you and your friends. If you don’t mind of course. Your friend, Megan.”
As Megan checked the spelling of her message, her father comes in to check on her.
“Hey, Megan.” The father greeted happily. “Catching up on some reading?”
“Actually, dad,” Megan responded, “I was just checking my message to Twilight before I send it to her.”
Mr. Williams saw the binder Megan has, and realized what it was. “Oh. That’s the binder you brought home from your last visit to Equestria. Right?”
“That’s right.” Megan answered proudly. “Now, I can keep in contact with my Alicorn friend. All I have to do is close the cover, and the message is set.”
“And, what message did you right?”
“I wrote to Twilight about my vacation problem, and wondered if she can help me out.”
The father pondered for a moment. Then, he gave an opinion. “Why not? If you can’t be with Danny and Molly, you can be with your friends in Equestria. Nothing much would happen to you here anyway.”
“You got it, dad.” Megan proudly said. “Thanks for your support.”
Smiling, Megan’s father left the room as Megan closed the binder. Stars swirl around her binder as the farm girl smiled. “Now, all I have to do is wait for a response from Twilight.”
Later, after having her lunch, Megan went to her backyard, took off her shoes, and laid down in the hammock. As Megan was snoozing, she felt something that felt like feathers rubbing on her feet. Megan soon started to giggle. Then, she started to laugh. After about thirty seconds, the feeling of being tickled was over.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar lavender pony.
“Twilight Sparkle!” Megan shouted in shock. “I didn’t expect you to tickle me.”
“I can learn a thing or two from Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.” Twilight explained.
Megan got off the hammock, and sat on a deck chair as Twilight approached her.
“I got your message.” Twilight said. “I feel bad for you.”
“Thanks, Twi.” Megan replied as she hugged the Alicorn. “At least somebody does.”
As the hug ended, Twilight gave her a response. “I think it’s a good idea to spend your vacation time in Equestria. There’s a whole week of events me and my friends are looking forward to.”
“Really?” Megan yelped.
“No joke. I think we would be happy to have you join us for a week. And, I know how. Let’s talk to your parents about this.”
At the barn, Megan, her family, and Twilight talked about her idea.
“I think it’s a great idea for a vacation in Equestria.” The mother said happily.
“Me too.” The father added. “But, having a heavy duffle bag on your back is very tricky, Twilight.”
“That’s where my idea comes in.” Twilight informed. “Megan can bring a change of clothes with her today. Every day after this, me or any of my friends can suggest about what clothes she would like to wear the next day.”
“Oh. So every day, it would be a surprise.” Megan said. “But, how can my clothes be delivered back and forth?”
“Any of our Pegasi friends will help in that department. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Derpy Hooves, and any of the Wonderbolts.”
Mrs. Williams raised a curious eyebrow. “Dashie, Fluttershy, and the Wonderbolts I can understand. But, Derpy?”
“Don’t knock it, mom.” Megan assured. “Being a mail pony, she’s capable of this idea.”
“That’s true. She did visit us a couple of times.”
Minutes later, Megan steps out wearing her legendary pink and blue outfit, and has her backpack strapped on. She approaches her Alicorn friend.
“Are you ready for take off?” Twilight asked.
“I am.” Megan answered. “Let’s get this party started.”
Megan climbs on Twilight’s back. Then, they take off to the sky with Megan’s parents watching.
“Do you think she’ll have a good week in Equestria?” Mr. Williams asked with concern.
“With Twilight and the ponies of Equestria as friends,” Mrs. Williams replied, “how can she miss?”
