Megan’s Vacation

by Brian Sheil


Day 1-Ponyville

Minutes later, Twilight and Megan arrived at Equestria. After touching down in Ponyville, the legendary friend hopped off as she and the Princess of Friendship made their way to Twilight’s castle.
“I’m very interested into spending my vacation here with you and your friends, Twi.” Megan said happily.
“I’m sure you are, Megan.” Twilight replied. “My friends and I will be happy to help you with this situation.”
The pair soon looked up into the sky and saw Rainbow Dash looping into the air. The daredevil saw the pair and descended. She stopped in midair, and landed safely. Rainbow Dash then expanded her wings. Megan looked at this, and raised an eyebrow. “Show off.”
“Gotta practice for the next show me and the Wonderbolts will be performing.” Rainbow replied as she spots the visitor. “So, what brings you here, Megster?”
“Would you believe I’m spending my vacation in Equestria?” Megan stated.
Rainbow was surprised. “No joke?”
“No joke. My vacation plans back home got scrapped. So, I figured you and the others can help me.”
“Let’s go into the castle and talk about this.” Twilight added.
As they enter the castle, the three friends walk through the halls until a boom was heard. Megan got sprayed by confetti. Twilight and Rainbow were shocked, but not surprised. After she brushed off the confetti, Megan called out to someone. "Okay, Pinkie! Where are you?"
From one of the open doors, Pinkie slowly came out, rolling her confetti cannon. "Hi, Megan. Did my confetti blast scare you?"
"Out of my wits? Yes." Megan answered.
Twilight and Rainbow started laughing which got Megan’s attention. “What are you two giggling about?”
Inside the meeting room, Megan and the Mane Six discuss the subject.
“Poor dear.” Rarity said sadly. “I feel your pain.”
“Thanks, Rarity.” Megan replied. “At least somepony does.”
“We all feel your pain, honey.” Applejack said. “Having your vacation plans taken away is not fair.”
“Thanks. Now, how can I spend a whole week here?”
“Well, you can visit a different place every day, Megan.” Twilight suggested.
Megan’s eyes widened. “You’re right. There are many places to visit. Sweet Apple Acres, Manehattan, The Crystal Empire, Canterlot, Everfree Forest, the possibilities are endless!”
“Then,” Fluttershy said, “how about starting things here in Ponyville?”
“Flutters is right.” Dash added. “There are great things to do here.”
“As a matter of fact,” Twilight informed, “my friends and I are set to clean our school. And, the students who make up the Young Six are going to help us.”
“The School of Friendship is being cleaned up?” Megan blurted. “Sounds like a lot of work.”
“It sure is.” Twilight then has an idea. “Since you’re staying in Equestria for the week, how about helping us?”
Megan thought about it for a little bit. Then, she gave an answer. “I’m for it. I need to do something during my stay. So, count me in.”
“I always knew you’re a hard worker.” Applejack said happily. “Thanks for volunteering.”
“Not a problem.” Megan said proudly. “Let me put my backpack in the guest room, and I’ll meet you there.”
“Thank you, Megan.” Twilight chirped as she hugged her human friend. “See you later.”
As Twilight and her friends leave for the school, Megan heads for the guest room to put down her backpack. I’ll see you later. Now, on to the school.
Later, at the School of Friendship, Twilight and her friends and the Young Six gathered in the hallway.
“Okay, everypony.” Twilight started to say, “thank you all for coming. Now, that the school is closed for the week, we’re ready to clean this place.”
“Cleaning this place seems a bit boring.” Smolder said gruffly.
“Not if you use your imagination sometimes, Smolder.” Pinkie Pie added.
“Miss Pinkie Pie is right.” Gallus figured. “Cleaning can be a little fun if you put your mind to it.”
Twilight was pleased to hear that. “Well said, Gallus.”
Megan soon arrived to join the others. “Am I late?”
“Human girl on time.” Yona answered gratefully. “We ready for clean up duty.”
“Yona’s right, Megan.” Sandbar added. “We’re just about ready to get to work.”
Twilight Sparkle gives everybody the green light. “Okay, let’s get to work.”
Everybody separated to clean up the school. Ocellus and Fluttershy flew up to the ceilings to dust the areas. Twilight and Rarity used their magic to straighten up chairs and desks. Pinkie and Sandbar swept up any confetti the party pony may have shot out.
Outside, in a sports arena, Rainbow Dash, Gallus, and Smolder mowed the lawn, swept up the leaves, and pick up any trash. Back inside, Applejack, Yona, and Silverstream cleaned up the cafeteria area. Inside an office, Megan helps Starlight Glimmer straighten up the area.
“Thanks for helping me, Megan.” Starlight praised.
“My pleasure, Starlight.” Megan replied. “Nice change of pace for you here. Isn’t it?”
“You’re right about that. I recently visited my old home village. Everypony there is proud of me being a Student Counselor.”
“Well, ever since Twilight decided to help turn your life around, you’ve become a good friend to everypony.”
Starlight blushed, knowing Megan is right. Later, the school was cleaned up, all of the students went their seperate ways, and Megan and the Mane Six went back to the castle.
“Good work, friends.” Twilight praised. “You all did a good job.”
Everyone smiled. Starlight was impressed with Megan’s part in the clean up job. “You sure helped out well, Megan.”
“Hard work builds character, you know.” Megan replied.
“That must be from working at your farmland home.” Rarity figured. “Correct?”
“That’s right, Rarity.”
Rainbow Dash looked at Applejack with a smug look on her face. “No wonder you get along with her, AJ. You farm folks do get along.”
Applejack blushed at the comment. Later that night, Megan slipped on a magenta long sleeve nightgown, and got ready for bed when Twilight knocked on the door. “Are you decent, Megan?”
“I am, Twi.” Megan answered. “Come in.”
Twilight came into the guest room and saw Megan in her sleepwear. “That’s a nice color on you.”
“Aw, Thanks.” Megan replied.
“So, Megan. Are you ready for another seven days of surprises?”
“Maybe. I don’t know what you and your friends have in store, but I’ll be ready for anything.”
“Good response. Good night.”
Twilight left the room and closed the door. Megan climbed on the bed, pulled the covers over her, and got ready to sleep.
I’ll be ready. Megan thought as she drifted off. This ends day number one.
