Sunset awoke to see the sun shining straight into her face. She sat up and checked to see how her friends were doing. She looked to Annabeth and Percy to see they were cuddled up together which she found adorable. She then heard some sounds and looked the opposite way to see Rainbow and Pinkie both snoring like there wasn’t a tomorrow.
One day those two are going to have to learn some manners. Sunset thought as she looked over to where Twilight and Fluttershy were sleeping. Twilight had her head leaning on her propped arm while gently breathing. And when Sunset looked at Fluttershy she giggled because Shy looked like she had been drooling in her sleep since she had a liquid running down from her mouth. She went out into the lobby and looked for where Applejack was. She found her leaning over a chair just thinking.
“Morning AJ,” Sunset said as she walked up behind Applejack. Most people would startle at this but Applejack was so used to living with Applebloom that nothing could startle her anymore.
“Mornin’ Sunset, what are ya doin’ up so early?” Applejack turned around to face Sunset.
“I always wake up early. I have never been able to sleep during the day at all. Never known why,” Sunset ponders the situation they’re in with Applejack for a while before AJ speaks.
“So you really believe what they’re saying? That we’re some kinda God childs?” She sounded very critical and suspicious.
“I’m not sure...I do believe that they aren’t evil and they care about us. But I’m not to sure on the Demigod thing,” Sunset sighed as she put her head in her hands, “Why can’t our lives just be simple teenager lives? It’s almost as if we are in a tv show or book.”
“Ah’ll tell you this. If ma mom had seen ma father die and didn’t help him. And instead fake her own death in order to abandon me and ma siblings? Ah would punch her as hard as Ah could with ma strength.” Applejack said with an angry expression. Sunset quickly put her hand on her friend’s shoulder in order to calm her down.
“Hey Jack, it’s ok. If I were ever to meet my father I would do the exact same thing you would. For now I say we go along with them. Worst thing that can happen is that they are just crazy and we get them arrested. Deal?” Sunset takes her hand off of Aj’s shoulder to reach out for a handshake.
Applejack takes the hand and shakes it, “Deal.”
Sunset lets go and kicks the chair she was leaning on, “Wanna go wake up the others?”
“Raght, Ah call wakin up Dash and Fluttersha,” And with that they went back to the room the others were sleeping in. Of course Annabeth was easy to wake up since she slept the longest.
“Annabeth, wake up. It’s bright enough to get moving,” Sunset gently shook Annabeth to make sure she woke up. She did and sat up a bit groggily.
“Oh hey Sunset. Did I faint again?” She looked around and noticed the sun was up, “And did you guys let me sleep?”
“Yes to both of those. It’s about 7 in the morning.” Sunset helped Annabeth stand up while Aj went over to wake up Rainbow.
“Rainbow Dash wake up. It’s time ta move,” She said in a stern voice. When Rainbow didn’t stir she brought back her leg and swung it into her side without saying another word. When Dash did stir and started to get up this time Jack moved over to wake up Fluttershy.
“Oof! What the hell Aj?” Rainbow sounded a bit peeved but not too mad. Applejack didn’t pay her any mind as she shook Fluttershy even harder.
“Ah would have thought that Sha would wake up easily. But she is not a mornin’ girl. Fluttersha!” Applejack basically yelled into Fluttershy’s ear which woke her up extremely well.
“Yaaaah!” She squealed as she almost flew up 5 feet in the air and then landed back down, “Applejack! Why would you do something like that!”
Sunset started to walk towards where Pinkie was still snoring. She ignored Percy since he was also woken up by Applejack’s yell. Annabeth decided to join her as they both walked up and got ready to wake her up. The thing was just as Sunset was about to shake her Pinkie’s silhouette disappeared and deflated from the spot of the blanket.
Annabeth stood up immediately and backed up a step or two, “Where did she-”
“Hey Annie! How did you sleep? Because I slept really well. Although it was kind of hard sleeping without a bed you know?” Pinkie suddenly appeared behind Annabeth. Sunset waited for the moment that she would faint but surprisingly the most that happened was a startle and an eye twitch. Sunset saw that as progress.
Although Beth of course scolded her in hopes of it not happening again, “Pinkie! Stop doing that! I am going to have a heart attack soon enough!” Sunset knew that it was a lost cause but she didn’t want to shatter her spirits.
After they all got set up to go they were about to leave when Rainbow said to everyone, “Hey are we forgetting something?” Everyone check their belongings to make sure they had everything.
“Nope, I don’t think so. Do you guys think we are?” Percy looked back at us.
I checked with the rest of the girls before speaking, “No, we aren’t missing anything.”
“Well if we did it probably wasn’t important anyways.”
“Yeah, your right.” Sunset replied, “Now. Off we go to Camp Quarter-Pint!”
Annabeth sighed, “Camp Half-Blood.”
A few miles away…
Why hasn’t she come to pick me up yet?! Rarity was currently standing on the curb in front of the hotel the class was staying in. She was supposed to come at 9!
She checked her phone again and it said that it was 9:45 am, “Ugh, I guess I’ll have to follow the old saying. ‘If you want something done you’ll have to do it yourself’!”
She opened her phone to an app Twilight had shown them a few weeks ago. She thought back to that moment since she thought that it would make for some good exposition.
Flashback
‘Overall I think that we should all have this app so that we can find each other in case of any emergency,’ Twilight said to her friends.
‘So...can you run by what this app does again?’ Rainbow dash said to her. With a confused look on her face.
Twilight sighed for what seemed to be the 15th time during this explanation, ‘OK. This app connects all of our phone’s trackers so that we can see where our locations are at all times. That way if one of us gets kidnapped or we forget about one of our own then we can follow to see where they are.’
‘Twalaght. I hate to break it to ya but what are the chances that 6 of us forgets the 7th ever existed? It seems very unlikely,’ Applejack scoffed as if the chance of it happening were too small to ever happen.
Flashback end
“Ha! We all thought we wouldn’t forget each other. But guess what? You did! You forgot me!” She checked the app and saw that they were all moving fast as if on a bus.
“Well I might as well wait until they stop so I can take a cab to where they really are,” She then thought about something.
“Oooooh! That should give me just enough time to pack all my clothes! Hmmm I hope that 5 bags isn’t too much for the taxi driver...oh well!” And with that Rarity skipped back into the hotel to get her luggage. When she got to the shared room of the seven she thought, Might as well pack for all the others as well. Since they didn’t get the chance to pack for themselves.
“Oh bellboy! Can I have your help for a moment!” She called to the nearest worker. When he looked at her it was almost as if he was under her spell.
“Of course Ma’am. I’ll just have to know your tab so I can charge the service to it!” He came over to where she was standing.
“Are you sure you can’t just do it for free? Not even for me?” She batted her eyes his way and the spell seemed to intensify and enlarge. And that definitely wasn’t the only thing enlarging in that second.
“Yes Ma’am. What do you need help with?” He looked glad to help her with anything she desired.
“That’s a good boy,” She responded with a tickle under his chin, “You can help me pack some clothes and belongings for me and my friends.”
“Of course Ma’am where would you like me to take everything when I’m done?” He asked as he and her started walking to the elevator.
“Oh you don’t have to do that. I can handle it from there. And please. Call me Rarity.”
“I insist Miss Rarity. I would happily help you with anything you need.”
“Now aren’t you a generous boy?” she pressed the button on the elevator and it closed with them in it. Taking her and the poor bellboy to where he would do her bidding without even really being in control of himself...
