Friends Doing Things One Last Time

"Well, I can't believe we just did that?"
"Uh yeah, totally agree."
All seven of the girls had just gotten done watching 'Ponyella'. It's this one opera that Pinkie had so desperately wanted them all to see with her.
The idea sounded good in her head.
Walking out of Canterlot City Performing Arts Center, the girls stay silent, their expressions as blank and motionless as ever. Besides Pinkie, who's wearing a bright, big smile.
"We literally just spent the last two hours listening to all that, didn't we?" Fluttershy asks either any one of her friends.
"Ah come on, I most surely thought Rarity would've been interested." Pinkie said, feeling disappointed by her friends' lack of opera fascination.
"To be fair, I'm more of a 'show-tunes' type of gal than opera any day of the week." Rarity says comfortably and matter-of-factly at the same time.
"Well enough of that. We've still got enough time to do something different. So, anyone else here know of what we should all do." Rainbow, trying to renew the enthusiasm, asks all of her friends.
The girls all think to themselves of what the next activity they could do until Applejack raises her hand up in the air. An idea (light bulb) appearing in her head.

"Applejack, darling, in what world do you think all of us helping you and your family's chores is a very fun thing for the rest of us to do?" Rarity sincerely, from the bottom of her heart, asks Applejack.
Applejack's idea of what they should all do next is each and every one of them helping her and the rest of the Apple family help with the carrot harvest. It, like Pinkie, at least sounded fun to her in her head.
"Well Ah uh, you see... oh aight. If helping with the carrot harvest ain't fun to ya, then Ah guess we can try something else different-"
"Oh goody!" Fluttershy uncharacteristically interrupts Applejack, the rest of her friends staring at her in surprise.
"Oh, I mean, good," Fluttershy says more quietly, back to her usual tone of voice, "I mean, there's going to be a pet giveaway at the animal shelter tomorrow afternoon. I thought maybe you'd all like to help."
"Helping with animals? Sounds fun. We all agree to go with Fluttershy's idea?" Sunset goes along with Fluttershy's plan, asking all of her friends for a vote of confidence.
"Sounds better than what I'm currently doing now." Rainbow votes 'yes' on.
"Here here." Rarity votes yes on also.
"Meh. Okay." Pinkie votes yes on too.
"Sure." Twilight votes yes on as well.
All of the girls look to Applejack, who still hadn't decided yet, her looking the most embarrassed.
"Oh okay. Ah'm in."

Well, while the pet giveaway sounded fun to all of them, it didn't exactly 'turn out' as they all might have had expected.
Why, first minute it started, all of the cages unknowingly, as if magically, possibly, unlocked themselves all together. Causing all seven girls to have to chase around the whole shelter, trying to bring the animals back to their respective cages.
Then later on, Micro Chips came and would adopt one of the many kittens (an orange and black tabby). But not too long before, the kitten somehow, almost magically, it seemed, became as big as a tiger, and would scratch the teenage boys' clothes with its' long tiger claws to streads.
Many schenanigans later involving the same situation happening over and over again all throughout the day, the seven girls decided to close the pet giveaway early, taking a long rest of the days' event.

"And according to section fifteen in our textbook, the roots of the plant are..."
The rest of the girls all look on with bored, tired expressions as Twilight reads and drones on about the many interesting and exciting facts about the photosynthesis process in plants.

***

"Ah yeah! That's game! I, no, we, win again!" Rainbow brags on as her team of her, Pinkie, and Fluttershy had just beaten the rest of their friends in a (supposedly) friendly game of soccer.

***

"I say, I still may never get the trend behind it. But leather skirts do so go with your whole outfit." Rarity says to herself, while also complementing Sunset's whole outfit.
The latter right now not so really enjoying being her friend's fashion mannequin.

***

"Well, we did what we had always wanted us to do together. Yet, it still feels empty." Rainbow Dash speaks honestly to her friends, all seven of them right now doing nothing at this particular moment. Just all hanging out and around at Applejack's farm (more specifically her barn).
"Empty?" Sunset speaks up. "Empty like, we still don't know how much time we have left together, and we can't quite figure out anymore ways for us to spend our last times as friends together? 'Cause if so, I'm feeling kinda empty too."
"Uh huh, we all do too." The rest of the girls all reply back at the same time.
Silence falls between them all before Fluttersy breaks it.
"Ya know, if we don't have anything else to do, there is one other thing, or, someone, we can help out," Fluttershy speaks to them all, instantly getting the attention of all her friends, "I'm talking about that Sunlight Spazzle girl. She came to us to help solve a problem of hers, and all we did was freak out about potential cancellation and walk away to do our own thing. I just think we should probably do the right thing and see how we can help solve her problem."
"Hmm, your right Fluttershy. We didn't really hear much more about herself. Other than the fact that she's a pony from a different version of Equestria than mine," Sunset agreed with Fluttershy, as soon as she finished speaking. "Plus, I wouldn't mind to learn more about her Equestria a little more... for research."
"Well then, If helping her is all alright with ya, then let's do it!" Applejack commands, her leading the way for her friends back to CHS, where Sunlight Spazzle is most likely still, probably.
