Chapter 5: Hawaii, Here We Come!!







(Jacob's Point of View)


Today is the day we're heading off to Hawaii tonight. Mom said that we're going on a night time flight so it would be morning when we get to Hawaii. I'm not sure why, but I guess that makes sense. I just hope it's daytime when we get there.

"I can't believe that we're gonna be flying!" said Scootaloo. She then yawned.

"Take it easy, Scarlet," I said. "You've been waiting for this trip for a while."

"Why... Oh right," said Scootaloo. "Gotta keep up disguises."

"That's right," said Mom. "Alright. Keep your tickets with you when we get on the plane. Scarlet, Nicole, you two get to sit on the right side of the plane. Barbara, Susan, you two are with me on the left side."

"Okay," said the Crusaders.

Then they reached the security checkpoint. Nyx then got nervous. Apple Bloom put a hand on Nyx's shoulder and said, "Hey. Don't worry. Ah'll be right here for ya."

"Thanks, Apple Bloom," Nyx whispered.

"Alright, little girl," said a security guard to Apple Bloom. "Remove your shoes, and any metal on you, and put them in that bin. Is this your first time on an airplane?"

"Sure is," Apple Bloom said, taking off her shoes and putting them in a bin. Then she emptied her pockets. She was about to walk in, but the guard stopped her.

"Hang on. Can you please remove your hair bow?" he asked.

"Uhh..." Apple Bloom said. "Okay." Apple Bloom then took off her hair bow, and gave it to the guard.

"Sure, I'll hold it," said the guard. "Now, put your arms up and don't move." Apple Bloom did, and then the scanner did it's job. "Alright, come on out." He then handed Apple Bloom back her bow. Apple Bloom then turned towards Nyx. The security guard said, "Alright, little girl. Empty your pockets take off your shoes and put them in the bin." Nyx did and put her shoes and the things in her pocket in a bin. She was about to get into the metal detector, but then the security guard said, "Could you remove your glasses?"

"Uhhh..." Nyx said.

"Nicole," I said. "Have Barbara hold your glasses."

"Oh, right," said Apple Bloom. "Hand 'em here, 'Nicole'."

Nyx nodded, got into the machine. Closed her eyes, and took off her glasses with her left hand. She reached them out for Apple Bloom to take, which she did. Then the guard said, "You're a good friend, aren'tcha?"

"Yeah," said Apple Bloom. "Ah'm the first friend she ever made."

"So, you known her her whole life?" asked the guard.

"Ya'll have no idea," said Apple Bloom.

Then the metal detector scanned Nyx. Then the guard said, "Alright. Come on out."

Apple Bloom then grabbed Nyx's arm, and pulled her out. She then put Nyx's glasses back on Nyx's face. Nyx opened her eyes, giving them her cloaked eyes. Then I went into the metal detector. I already knew the drill. I took off my shoes, emptied my pockets, and I got scanned. Mom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo went in another Metal Detector, then we met up after getting our stuff.

"Alright, kids," Mom said. "We got about two and a half hours until our plane leaves. So, let's get something to eat." She then lead us to a restaurant called Romano's Macaroni Grill. We then ordered Pizza. The pizzas took about an hour to finish. Then we ate for a half hour. We then headed for the waiting area of where our plane would be coming in.

We eventually got on our plane. Luckily enough, we got the same row across from each other. Scootaloo and Nyx sat with me on the right side of the plane while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle sat on the left side with my mom. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom got the window seats. Nyx sat between me and Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle sat between Mom and Apple Bloom.

Then a safety video played on the screen on the back of the seats in front of us just in case an emergency comes. Then the plane took off. We eventually got tired on the plane ride. We fell asleep.





I woke up, and it seemed to be sunrise. I looked that a stewardess covered us with a blanket. I also noticed that when we were asleep, the stewardess took off Nyx's glasses, and put them in the compartment on the back of the seat in front of her. I then grabbed Nyx's glasses right as she was waking up. I then put them on Nyx's face.

"Huh? Wha...?" Nyx asked.

"A stewardess took off your glasses while you were asleep," I said to her.

"Oh," Nyx said. "Are we there yet?"

"I don't know," I said. "Let's see."  I then turned on the map on the screen, and saw that we were just about 10 minutes from landing. "10 minute until the plane lands." Then Scootaloo started to wake up.

"What time is it?" Scootaloo asked.

"Don't know yet," I said.

Then a stewardess came up to us and said, "Good morning, kid. Enjoy your slumber?"

"Yeah, actually," said Nyx.

"Would you like something to drink?" asked the stewardess.

"No thanks," I said. "We're gonna get breakfast when we leave the airport."

"Oh, good call," said the stewardess. "In fact, there's an IHOP near the airport."

"IHOP?" asked Scootaloo.

"International House of Pancakes," I said. "What time would it be when we get there?"

"Well, I'm guessing a little after 6:00," said the stewardess. "Hope you enjoy your time in Honolulu."

The three of us nodded.





We got off the plane, got to the baggage claims, and got our bags. Luckily, our bags were easy to find. Then a familiar woman came up to Mom.

"Kathy!" said the woman.

Mom turned around and saw her. "Lauren Faust? Holy cow!"

"How have you been?" asked Lauren Faust. "Hey. You look better."

"I told him everything," Mom said. "I couldn't be anymore relieved." Then I came up to them and said, "Lauren, this is Jacob. Jacob, this is Lauren Faust. The creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

"I was wondering when I would meet you," said Lauren Faust. "I'm Lauren Faust. But you can call me Lauren."

"Nice to meet you, Lauren," I said, shaking her hand. Then the girls came up to them. She recognized them.

She pointed a finger at Apple Bloom, saying, "Apple Bloom..." Then she pointed at Scootaloo, saying, "Scootaloo..." Then at Sweetie Belle, saying, "Sweetie Belle." Then she looked over at Nyx. "And that would make you Nyx."

Nyx nodded. Then Mom said, "How about we get a car and head over to IHOP for some breakfast?"

"Sure," said Apple Bloom.

"Oh, yeah," said Lauren Faust. "That's Apple Bloom's voice alright."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" asked Scootaloo. "Let's get going."

"I hope that Cooper will be fine in that kennel," said Sweetie Belle.

"He'll be fine, 'Susan'," said Mom. "The kennel is very reliable. It's also part spa, and the people there take good care of the animals."

"Sounds like a place Fluttershy would enjoy," said Nyx.

"It actually does," said Lauren.





Mom rented another Ford Flex. One in Red with white leaves. Kinda reminds us of the little dress that Lilo from Lilo and Stitch wore. We loaded our luggage into the back of the car, which was a little bigger than Mom's car back home. We then headed to IHOP. We all got some French Toast. The Crusaders were enjoying them.

"So, what was all in the show, only parts of it didn't happen?" asked Lauren.

"Yep," said Scootaloo. "We watched the show up until the end of the Season 3 premiere."

"Why'd you stop?" asked Lauren.

"Because that's how far they are and Past Sins came next," I said. "And they were up to chapter 9."

"Oh, yeah," said Lauren. "When I heard that you got four Crusaders with you, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Nyx, I read Past Sins and all of its sequels. Although, it is a good idea for someone not to know too much about their own future, or else it won't happen like you wanted it to. And I've seen all of the episodes of the show. And I can't believe the writers got the name of Scootaloo's parents right. But, I'm feeling bad for her because they all died."

"And do you know Abacus Cinch?" I asked. "She's the owner of that orphanage in Canterlot, which was where Scootaloo was from."

"That's a huge surprise," said Lauren. "I'm sure you'll find a family that'll take care of you."

"So, where are we going to stay?" asked Nyx.

"We're going to be staying at Aulani," said Lauren Faust. "I flew in from New York yesterday, and I already got a room close to mine that'll fit all of you. I'll be close to your room."

"Well, at least we'll have fun," said Sweetie Belle. "I bet Rarity would love to explore the beauty of this place."

"That does sound like Rarity," said Lauren.

Then a waitress came up with a bill. Lauren left her credit card on the check, which the waitress took. Then the woman took the card back and then we all headed over to the car. We got in and then Apple Bloom asked, "How long is this drive gonna be?"

"It took me about half an hour to get to the airport in a taxi," said Lauren. "So, it should be about a few minutes under that. Alright, kids. Everyone in the car."





We came into the hotel room where we were staying. The room was bigger than I thought I was expecting.



"Wow," said Apple Bloom. "This is a big room."

"Alright, kids," said Mom. "Let's see the rest of the room." We then walked into a room from the right of the living area, and there were two beds there. "Alright. Girls, you four are sharing this room. Two crusaders on each bed."

"Yes, Kathy," said the girls. Then they headed in. Apple Bloom and Nyx put their bags on the bed closest to the window. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were going to share the other bed.

Then Mom and I went to the living room. "Let's hope this couch is a pull out bed." Then Mom pulled off the cushions and saw that there was a pull out bed inside the couch. "You don't mind sleeping here, do you?"

"No, I don't mind," I said.

"I'm gonna be in this room over here," Mom said. "If you need anything, I'll be close."

"Okay, Mom," I said. I then put my stuff besides the couch. Mom walked into the bedroom on the opposite side of the suite the Crusaders are staying. Then there was a knocking on the front door. I walked over to it, and opened it up. There was Lauren. "Oh, hey, Lauren."

"How's it going, Jacob?" Lauren asked.

"Pretty good," I said.

Then Nyx came out of the room with her glasses off. She then said, "Oh, hi, Lauren."

"Whoa!" said Lauren. "I forgot that Nyx's glasses has an enchantment."

"Yeah," said Nyx. "Sorry. I guess my eyes are creepy for those who haven't seen them."

"It's okay, Nyx," said Lauren. "You're a good little filly. Well a little girl at the moment. Now, I hope you all are going to have a good time. How about we all go see a movie tonight?"

"What's a movie?" Nyx asked.

"It's kinda like a film," said Lauren. "You know what, you'll see it when we get there."

Then Mom came into the room and said, "Hey, Lauren. How are you doing?"

"Good," said Lauren. "How about we spend the rest of the day at the beach, then we wash up and we head out to the the mall. And then we'll have dinner there and enjoy a movie."

"But what about lunch?" Nyx asked.

"We'll do a picnic on the beach," said Lauren. "Everyone, get into your swim suits. We're going to the beach."

Then we all got into our bathing suits and headed off to the beach. Mom made us put on a lot of sunscreen so we wouldn't end up like that one guy on Lilo and Stitch.



I'm sure that we won't end up like him. Basically, we did a lot of things on the beach. We went swimming, and made some sand castles. We finished up and headed back to the hotel room. We washed up, and then we got into some clean clothes and we headed to the nearest mall where the movie theater is. This was a great start to my first Hawaiian vacation.
