Our story begins at Sweet Apple Acres, where in the apple orchard, the Cutie Marks Crusaders are preparing for an Easter photo, with their older sisters helping them prepare.
“This picture is sure going to be adorable!”, said Applejack as she put a blue bunny costume onto Apple Bloom.
“It sure will be!”, Apple Bloom agreed.
Rarity used her magic to put a purple bunny costume onto Sweetie Belle.
“My, my! This costume looks simply endearing on you, Sweetie!”, exclaimed Rarity, with Sweetie Belle blushing afterwards. It seems that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were excited to wear bunny costumes for the photo. But of course, with Scootaloo being herself, she wasn’t as enthralled.
“Come on, why do I have to wear this?”, Scootaloo asked as her idol, Rainbow Dash, held a green bunny costume in front of her. “I’m a tomboy! Tomboys don’t wear sickeningly sweet bunny costumes!”
Rainbow Dash replied with, “Look, I don’t wanna make you wear this either, but it’s for Applejack! Please, Scootaloo, do it for her!”
Scootaloo rolled her eyes as she said, “Fine, I’ll wear the dumb costume!”, before putting it on. After she put it on, she muttered, “This is so embarrassing”, while blushing and looking straight down at the ground.
“Come on, ya’ three look adorable!”, said Applejack with a big smile.
Apple Bloom then replied with, “Besides, you can’t deny that these costumes are super comfortable!”, to which Scootaloo admitted that they were pretty comfortable to wear.
The trio then hopped into an easter basket and each held a piece of candy. Apple Bloom held a chocolate bunny, Sweetie Belle held a giant creme egg, and Scootaloo held a giant marshmallow peep while waiting for the photo.
“Say, Happy Easter!”, exclaimed Applejack as she turned on the camera.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled for the camera, with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle being extremely happy to be in the photo, and Scootaloo blushing and looking less enthusiastic, but still managing to smile for the camera.
Once the photo was finished, the trio decided to gorge themselves with the candy they were holding, giving themselves bellies the size of small volleyballs.
“Do ya’ three wanna go back inside?”, asked Applejack, to which Apple Bloom replied with, “Just a few more minutes, please!”
“Alrighty, Sugarcube. If ya’ need us, just holler!”, Applejack said as she, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity walked away.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders then fell asleep in the easter basket, with their cute bunny costumes, big bellies, and adorable smiles.
After Applejack went back inside her house, she found a letter on her kitchen counter. Assuming her older brother, Big Macintosh, brough it in, she thanked him from the kitchen and opened the letter. It was from the Peace Family. She, Rarity, and Rainbow read it together.
It read, “Dear Citizens of Ponyville, we have very exciting news! The members of our group have been planning a trip to the City of Kransitogo! And we decided to invite the citizens of Equestria to come with us! The invited citizens need to wear their peace suits, otherwise they may not come. Further details will be explained at the City of Kransitogo. The following citizens are invited-”
Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow read the list of citizens, and were happy to see that they, the rest of the Mane Six, Applejack’s family, and their younger sisters were invited, along with many other citizens. They went to tell the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were thrilled when they heard the news.
“Really?!”, asked Apple Bloom with overloading joy. “Are we really going on a vacation to the City of Kransitogo?!”
“We sure are!”, replied Applejack with glee. “Now how about ya’ three pack the things ya’ want for the trip and change into your peace suits?”
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle replied with yeses, while Scootaloo sighed with relief, knowing that she wouldn’t have to wear a bunny costume anymore, and she would instead wear something she thought was less embarrassing.

The next morning, the citizens of Ponyville waited in a big green field wearing their peace suits and carrying bags, waiting for the Peace Family to arrive with their mode of transportation.
“Oh ma’ gosh, ah’ am so excited for this!”, exclaimed Applejack. “Ah’ don’t know what to expect yet, but ah’ bet it’s gonna be amazing!”
Apple Bloom agreed with Applejack, and so did the other two Crusaders and the rest of the Mane Six. They started imagining the fun things they’d be doing. The stuff includes the beach, an amusement park, an arcade, a Spa, racing, nature hiking, ect. They knew it would be a blast.
Just then, techno music started playing, and colorful smoke was fogging the fields. The citizens coughed, but soon realized that the Peace Family was arriving. Train tracks flew from the sky onto the ground, with an awesome looking train zooming towards the citizens at a fast pace. The train was bright, colorful, and detailed. It was really long, and really big. It soon stopped in front of the citizens, with Stephen Fisher and Flare Spark walking out of the engine with style.
“What’s up, Citizens of Ponyville?!”, shouted Stephen Fisher, with everypony cheering for them.
“I hope you all are excited to go to the City of Kransitogo!”, yelled Flare Spark, followed by, “Your train awaits!”
Stephen Fisher then announced, “But first, your admission! You must be wearing your peace suits or else you’re not allowed on!”
The citizens soon walked on board with each one wearing their peace suits. Once everybody was on board, the train left Ponyville and headed straight towards Kransitogo.

While on the train, the Mane Six noticed a lot of their friends from outside of Ponyville on board, such as the citizens from Canterlot. They were surprised to see so many familiar faces on board with them.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders decided to talk with some of the other fillies on the train, hoping to make new friends. But the fillies they found were glued to their screens, refusing to interact with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. One of them was watching a show called Gravity Falls on his phone. Another was on their chromebook making a video on PonyAnimate. And one brought a mini NES console on board, playing Super Mario Ponies 3. The trio were upset that the fillies they ran into were addicted to their screens.
But eventually, they found a filly that wasn’t on a screen. The filly was male. He had bright red skin with blue hair and a blue tail, and a purple peace suit. The Cutie Mark Crusaders decided to ask him if he wanted to have a conversation, which he agreed to.
The four got together at a table and talked with each other while eating donuts and milkshakes.
“That’s so funny!”, exclaimed Apple Bloom, with the filly replying with, “I know! I mean, it wasn’t even that big! It was just a little bug, and yet, she went crazy!”
The trio laughed hard, clearly enjoying their new friend.
“Ya’ know, we haven’t caught your name yet!'' said Apple Bloom.
“Yeah!”, replied Sweetie Belle, with Scootaloo replying with, “What is it?”
“My name is Red Fiction!”, said the stallion, with a charming smile. “Ever since I was a foal, I have loved fiction! There were so many characters I could relate to in the stories my mother told me, and they could be quite funny! I grew up with so many great cartoons, such as SpongePony SquarePants, The Fairly Odd Ponies, The Powerpuff Ponies, Courage the Cowardly Pony, The Simponies, The Amazing World of Gumpony, Ponieas and Ferb, and one of my personal favorites, Family Pony!”
Apple Bloom’s smile turned into a small frown, with her replying with, “Oh, Ma’ older sister, Applejack, won’t let me watch Family Pony! She says it’s too inappropriate!”, making Red Fiction’s jaw drop.
“What?! But Family Pony is one of the greatest cartoons in Equestria! Or, it was until season eight, but still, it has so many amazing episodes!”
Sweetie Belle decided to reply to his statement with, “I’m not sure we should be watching that show. Rarity says the show has profanity, violence, sexual references, and other things I shouldn’t be seeing at my age”
“Besides, there are plenty of other great shows we can watch!”, claimed Scootaloo.
Red Fiction sighed, telling the trio, “Fine, you don’t have to watch Family Pony if you don’t want to. But you won’t know what you’re missing until you see it!”
After that, he walked away humming the Family Pony theme song to himself, leaving the Crusaders to look at each other, with curious facial expressions, wondering what to expect from Family Pony.
A couple hours later, the train finally stopped after exiting a tunnel. “We have arrived at our destination!”, shouted Stephen over the speakers.
All of the ponies walked out of the train with their bags, and were blown away by what they saw.
