Back at the Appple's house, the pre-teen helps Granny Smith prepare lunch when she hears a commotion coming from the living room. Apple Bloom goes to see what is it about only to find Big Mactintosh chasing Tender Taps while holding a bottle of wine like a wooden club. She returns then to the kitchen looking her grandmother for an answer. "Granny Smith, what is Big Mac doing with that bottle?" "Don't pay any attention to him sugarcube, your brother has the habit of taking that thing out in case for a 'special situation'." Granny Smith says, she would later take it upon herself to scold her grandson for mistaking Apple Bloom's friends with potential boyfriends. A party was taking place at a house in the neighborhood. Guests laughing, drinking, goofing around and dancing wildly to the owner's modern sound equipment turned up to full volume. The bell rings and a young adult woman answers the call. When she opens the door meets up with a sleepy Trixie Lulamoon dressed in night clothes carrying with her a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire on top. "Can I help you?" Asks the woman. "Yeah. Trixie just wants to say that's the 'sweetest' melody I've ever heard. May I know where it comes from please?" The Diamond Dogs go on a trip to the savannah in the company of Dumb-Bell, Hoops and Score for reasons of destiny; having to tolerate each other throughout the journey. After traveling several kilometers of beautiful scenery, the boys decide to take a break. Dumb-Bell's group builds a bonfire while the Diamond Dogs climb to the top of a tree. Then Score comes up with an idea to kill time and mock his teammates. "Hey dogs! Do you mind if we ask you a question to see how much you know?" "Go ahead, we have the answer for everything." Fido assures by settling on a thick branch. Dumb-Bell makes the question. "What is the animal that approaches the human being?" "Easy. The Lycaon!" Spot responds. The answer causes Dumb-Bell and his friends to burst out laughing. "I knew you were a bunch of brutes! It's the Chimpanzee, you slimy!" Hoops taunts the Diamond Dogs. "Really? Because there is a pack of lycaons approaching you from behind." Rover points out the group of hungry african wild dogs that was about to pounce on Dumb-Bell and company. Aria Blaze works at the city bank as a window clerk in another regular day. Suddenly a thief enters with gun in hand plus a sack. The criminal points his gun at Aria's face and forces her to open the safe where the money was kept. Without any other choice, the girl in pigtails opens the safe and places the bundles of bills into the criminal's sack. After she finished filling the cloth bag, the thief turns and flees. Aria realizes the criminal didn't take all the money because some bundles were left intact. So she takes that money, puts it in her pockets and goes out in pursuit of the thief. " … Ladies and gentlement, due to an engine failure it is suggested to leave the plane as soon as possible.... ... Please, take your parachutes and oxygen masks located in your seats to leave in order ... " At the end of the flight attendant's announcement, all the passengers begin to jump out of the plane followed by the crew and the captain. Once at a certain height, each person opens their parachutes while some of them put on their oxygen masks. One of the passengers watches carefully how the plane's turbines are covered by tongues of fire as the transport takes a nosedive. "Oh, a terrible day without any doubt." The gentleman exclaims with sorrow. Changing the view presence from above contemplates how a gas station explodes. The reasons were unknown to him, but he couldn't deny it was a horrifying scene to witness. "Ultimately, this has been a very regrettable day." The gentleman exclaims again. Then, something is thrown into the air like a projectile very close to him. The man believes its an object, but as said figure was approaching closer he realizes that it is a girl - who happens to be Sour Sweet - covered in ashes. "Poor girl! You must be a victim of that horrible explosion at the gas station, right?" " No, what gives! The thing is I forgot my cell phone on the plane and I'm going to pick it up. See ya!" Sour Sweet responds sarcastically before wandering off into the clouds. "Hey Twilight, why are we going to the Natural History Museum?" Spike asks. "Because you can't stay indoors all day watching television and posting videos; also, you need to cultivate your mind." "Okay, but first buy me something to eat." Thus the teenage girl with glasses and her pet enter the museum to contemplate and learn about the hundreds of fossil animal as well plant remains that once populated planet Earth. They are currently in the Dinosaur Section, stopping in front of the skeleton of a medium-sized apatosaurus. "Look Spike, this subspecies of apatosaurus inhabited swampy areas and fed exclusively on insects and tree bark." Twilight reads the dinosaur informational text aloud. Very interesting. "Wow! Poor guy, no wonder he ended up like this." Spike comments thinking the sauropod's diet led to its extinction. Applejack was in the middle of rebuilding the barn when Rarity and Fluttershy comes to visit. "Good morning, Applejack!" The fashionista greets Applejack. "Morning girls! What brings you here?" "Rarity and I wanted to invite you to the speech of one of the candidates running for mayor." Fluttershy says handing Applejack a newsletter of the event to be held, although the blonde doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about the proposal. "I don't know girls, you know what I think of politicians: much ado about nothing. But if you want me to join you, then I will gladly go." "That's the spirit darling!" "Yay." Applejack hurries to finish her chores, take a shower, change clothes, and join her friends. Arriving at the place the three teenagers are surprised by the huge crowd gathered around the podium where the mayoral candidate gave his speech, someone by the name of Ahuitzotl if they remember correctly. Apparently he was the favorite to win in these elections. "... and as I said before, there has been a lot of talk about honesty and nothing more than honesty these days. Well, I tell you not to wait any longer: for I am Honesty! " The audience explodes with applause chanting the name of Ahuitzotl, he really knew how to win the charisma of the people. For his next act Ahuitzotl unbuttons his elegant jacket revealing its interior. "In these pockets never entered any money that has not been product of the honest way..." "Sure, because the jacket is new, you buzzard!" Applejack accusingly points Ahuitzotl's jacket, and she knows why for she saw him leaving Carrousel Boutique with said garment yesterday .
