The 5 fillies are trotting down the road after having broken trampoline world whatitz place.
“So, where to next?” Taylor asks
“I was thinking we could get our cutie marks in sky scraper climbing.” Sweetie says
“I’ll get the plungers!” AppleBloom says
“What could go wrong?” Taylor asks
================
Short answer… A lot could go wrong. The 4 fillies are surrounded by police while an injured Pegasus is being loaded into a hospital carriage.
“A’h just didn’t expect him to actually jump out the window with toilet plungers.” AppleBloom says
“What did you call yourself again Taylor?” Scoltaloo asks
“Suction Cup Mare…” Taylor says slightly upset with herself.
“Can you do the song again?” Sweetie asks
“Do, do Do, do, do! It is I suction cup mare! Look at me go!” Scoot cheers
“Fillies please don’t do this to me. Or I will start another harmony song.” Taylor says
“Mr Business is gonna be okay right?” Echo asks
“He should make a full recovery, he flared his wings last minute and sprained a few legs on landing… I honestly don’t understand why he jumped.” A city police mare says
“He did seem mentally unstable.” Taylor says
“Oh, it might’ve been a wimsy then,” the police mare says with a nod.
That sentence throws Taylor through a loop.
“A whimsy?” Taylor asks
“Yeah, I mean… wait Taylor has Twilight not told you about herds?” Scootaloo asks
“Isn’t that where’s a bunch of ponies just get to… oh. I think I get it, what’s the stallion to mare population?” Taylor asks curious
“It’s 1 to 3, three mares for every stallion.” Sweetie says
‘Please don’t be like 1930’s gender stereotypes just in reverse.’ Taylor thinks
“Hey!”
‘Yep I’m worried too Captain.’ Taylor mutters
“A few years ago there was a stallion’s rights movement.” Scoot aloo says
“They won, and started being treated less like fragile little colts.” Applebloom says with an underlying tone.
“Isn’t Shining armor strong though? He’s proof stallions are not that different from mares.” Scoot says
“Yes however several mares still stick to the old idea.” Sweetie says glancing at Applebloom.
“What about Straight River?” Taylor asks
“You know Straight river!” Scoot aloo asks in wonder
“Straight River the only non-night pony in the night guard!” Echo says in wonder
“Yeah, I’ve met him before.” Taylor says
“He can go twice as fast as sound! Oh could you introduce us?” Scoot Aloo asks
Taylor takes a peak at her radar. Before hopping on her intercom system.
“Straight! I know you’re up there so you better come down!”
Sweetie winces at how loud Taylor just shouted.
A second later a yellow blur lands next to them.
“You have Radar? Cause I am 100 percent certain I was outside of visual range” Straight asks
“You know what Radar is?” Taylor asks back
“From the documents being passed on to me by Princess Twilight. It is similar to echolocation however it uses radio waves instead of sound.” Straight says
“You really are part bay pony!” Echo shouts excitedly.
“I mean you’ve been following us since Ponyville.” Taylor says
“Of course, as a member of the night guard who was assigned to protect you. I have to at least make sure that I could save you all if that flying contraption gave out.” Straight says
“I don’t want to say I trust Russian designs and lucky I don’t have to it’s an old Soviet design.” Taylor says with a smile
“I don’t get it.” Straight says
Taylor sighs mentally can’t be too sure other humans haven’t ended up here.
“So, are we heading back home?” Taylor asks
“What you’re leaving already?” Echo asks
“We do need to get home. Especially since I am finally going to help applejack buck Apples in the morning’ “ AppleBloom says
“We have been gone a while.” Sweetie says with a yawn.
“Sorry, echo. I’ll come around later this week and we can go do more fun stuff!” Taylor says with a smile,
“If Princess Twilight doesn’t ground you first.” Straight says
“Straight, I’m over 70 years old. She’s not gonna ground me.” Taylor says with a smile
“Right well have a good night.” Echo says smiling
“Of course! Now cutie mark Crusaders it’s time to go back to the plane.” Sweetie says
===============
Things of course are never that easy. The plane was surrounded by researchers from the Maretime bay college.
“Right I mean if this actually flies it’s an amazing improvement on the write brothers plane! Not to mention with these things! They don’t I fringe on the wing warping patent.” Says a scientist
“They are called flaps.” Taylor says
“Yeah! We built it to get our cutie marks!” Sweetie says cheerfully.
“A group of fillies built this?” A scientist mutters
“Yeah, like 3 weeks ago we built a steam engine.” Taylor says
“Wait! Your princess twilights daughter! That explains so much!”
“Right well we need to go home. So if you could kindly back away from the plane?” Taylor asks
