"C'mon Acid Drip! C'mon Ember Flame! We're gonna be late for the train!" Four Middle-School mares were seen running through Manehattan trying to catch the 6.30 departing from track 34 southbound for Ponyville.
"Why in the name of Celestia did we pick the 6.30?" Ember yelled breathlessly trying to keep up. The fourth mare was named Nickle-Cadium or NiCad (pronounced by her family friends as Nye-Cad), also when to school with Silverspoon but her trip was different. NiCad was going to Ponyville to interview Doctor Hooves and get advice about how to get her solar powered airship to obtain a higher altitude than its average of about 3000 feet. The four mares had learned that Knuckles...their sub teacher had sent word ahead of them to ask that they be boarded in Twilight's castle in a spare room. NiCad was seated was building a wire circuit to power her solar powered battery cell...in turn would power a GPS. They were still behind schedule due to mechanical issues at the station. Silverspoon hated being late like her traveling companions.
