"She's so dead!" Aria mumbles while dusting debris of flower pots off of herself.
"No need to waste your energy like this," Adagio says: "Getting mad wouldn't really help with anything. However, her power is rather intriguing."
"And she's not the only one with power," Aria says: "We'll have to be careful from now on."
"Why don't we just go somewhere else?" Sonata asks: "You know, somewhere..."
"Silence!" Adagio cuts her off: "That only means they can provide more energy."
"And make us stronger," Aria sighs: "But what's the plan exactly?"
"It seems like she can revert the state of being for everything, including herself,"  Adagio explains: "So next time we meet, do something before she makes a move."
"Like what?" Sonata shrugs: "Like throw a flower pot? Or..."
"It doesn't matter," Adagio continues: "A flower pot, an apple, a banana...Just do it before she does it first."



"Sunset!" Celestia calls out: "It's safe now!"
"Ok, I just texted her again," Applejack says: "She didn't lose her phone, did she?"
"Oh my, look at all those flower pots," Fluttershy crouches down: "I...it must be awful!"
"Hi! Everyone!" Sunset suddenly appears next to the train track: "Sorry, I was on top of a speeding train and didn't really check my phone."
"Thank the heavens!" Celestia sighs: "Are you hurt? Is everything ok?"
"I am doing fine," Sunset answers, swinging her arms: "But somebody got a broken arm."
"I am glad you're alright," Applejack takes off her hat: "But what happened exactly?"
"I felt a dull pain through my torso," Sunset says: "Then I had to activate my standability to, you know, stay alive. I should have just pretended to be dead and wait for them to leave..."
"But you just can't control it?" Fluttershy adds.
"That's...accurate," Sunset replies: "How do you know?"
"Just guessing?" Fluttershy says: "It's doesn't matter. I am just glad you are all in one piece."
"Let's cut the chatter," Celestia announces: "We need to leave here. I'll take care of everything tomorrow, and we need to get started with our training."



"So, what is this?" Sunset asks.
"A relic," Celestia says, handing Sunset a moon-shaped necklace: "With it, my sister can protect you with her ability."
"I thought her stand only works when everyone is asleep," Rainbow says as Celestia hands her one: "How does it work exactly?"
"Oh, Rainbow," Celestia chuckles while handing out more necklaces: "My sister is more reserved about telling others her ability. But she can do so much more than just entering people's dreams."
"Like?" Rainbow asks, putting on the necklace.
"I am afraid you'll have to ask her about it," Celestia says before handing out the rest: "Ok, wear this at all times, ok?"
"Even when we are sleeping?" Applejack asks.
"You can hang it somewhere near your bed," Celestia answers: "Just don't lose it, ok?"
"Ok," Sunset puts on her necklace: "So do we need to take it off for our training?"
"No," Celestia says: "Luna is smarter than she looks. So don't worry about it."
"Alright, alright," Rainbow says: "Can we start now?"
"Of course," Celestia smiles: "See if you can handle this."
With a snap of a finger, the mud below their feet starts to loosen. Within seconds, their bodies sunk into the ground with only the head above. 
"Ok, everyone," Celestia says: "Now that the mud is back to its' normal density, try to get yourself out with your stand only."
"Eh, ok," Applejack says: "But I..."
"Ha! You scared?" Rainbow smirks: "I am gonna get out earlier than..."
"That's easy," Sunset says, with her body already out of the ground with a trace of dirt on her clothing: "Is that it?"
"Yeah," Celestia shrugs: "Good job! But I want you to stay until everyone gets out."
"Cool! So do I just do my homework now? Or..."
"Yes," Celestia smiles: "Do your homework or just relax. As long as you don't distract the others."
"Earlier than who?" Applejack asks sarcastically while holding down her laughter: "I didn't catch that."
"The...what...but..."
"She just has more experience with using her stand," Celestia says: "No need to be so surprised."
"Yeah, Rainbow," Applejack adds: "No need to be so worked up; you are just not as good as Sunset."
"Oh, yeah?" Rainbow turns her head around: "Well...I...But I am still better than you!"
"Yeah? Wanna bet?"
"Loser has to pay for ice cream for an entire year."
"Deal!"
"Ah, thankfully I didn't put on my new dress," Rarity says as she climbs out of the dirt without a stain on herself: "Ah, finally!"
"Watch out, Rainbow," Applejack says: "Rarity is making her way out."
"So we've got two winners now," Celestia says: "You two need to stay focused if you actually get out."
