“Well, that was weird” Sweetie Belle states. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are walking to their clubhouse while talking about the weird events that transpired earlier that day.
“Ah know.” Applebloom agrees, “How did Pinkie Pie get the book to float in the air?”
“Remember guys, this is Pinkie Pie we’re talking about.” Scootaloo says. “Nothing she does makes sense.”
“Yep, Pinkie Pie sure has a way of making things weird.” Applebloom agrees.
“What I don’t understand is what Pinkie told us about gravity,” Sweetie Belle ponders, “She told us that ‘gravity is what makes everything float’, but right now we aren’t floating.”
“Can we just drop the subject on it for now!” Scootaloo shouts angrily at the two. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle recoil from the outburst, looking offended. “I don’t feel like talking about it. All this science talk is making my head hurt.”
“Well ya have to talk to somepony about it for homework” Applebloom deadpans.
Scootaloo just stops in her tracks and stands there. She facehoofs at the realization of having to do homework. “Augh…I forgot about that,” comes the groan, “Now I have to go ask somepony about the crazy things Pinkie Pie told us in class today. I might as well not do it.”
After hearing what Scootaloo said, Sweetie Belle agrees with her. “Yea, I think Pinkie Pie is just pulling a prank on us.”
Applebloom nods her head in agreement. “Yea, that Pinkie Pie is always pullin’ pranks on everypony.”
They reach the path to the apple orchard that leads to Applebloom’s house. “Well ah gotta go now. I see you guys tomorrow.”
“Alright I’ll see you tomorrow.” Scootaloo replied.
“Yea see you later!” Sweetie Belle waves goodbye to her friends.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle part ways and head to their respective homes.

As soon as the Apple family finishes their evening chores, as with every night, they sit down for a lovely dinner of traditional apple pie, Granny Smith style. Applejack notices her sister’s downtrodden mood when Applebloom hardly touches her food, seemingly preferring to just stare at it.
“So…” Applejack swallows her food, “why are ya down in the dumps today Applebloom?”
“Well…”Applebloom starts, “Ms. Cheerilee was out sick today so Pinkie Pie taught our class today.”
“Well it couldn’t have been that bad.” Applejack said.
Applebloom doesn’t say anything. She gives her sister the “Are you kidding me!?” stare that could even rival Fluttershy’s.
“Oh…that bad.” Applejack understood. “Well don’t worry about whatever she said too much, I bet it’s just Pinkie Pie bein’ herself.”
“Well you’re right about Pinkie Pie bein’ herself.” Applebloom utters roughly to herself.
“Well then, why don’t ya wash up and head to bed early. You’ll need it if Pinkie Pie will be teaching again tomorrow.” Applejack says.
Applebloom yawns, “I guess y’er right. I might as well go to bed. This day was exhaustin’ for me.” She grabs her plate and puts it in the sink. Heading for the stairs, she says. “I’m goin’ to bed. Night y’all.”
“Night Applebloom” They reply back.

“Man… what a day.” Scootaloo yawns, “I can’t believe Pinkie Pie did that today.”
She yawns again.
“I guess spending all of last night practicing flying has really got to me. I might as well just go to bed right now.”
She walks upstairs to her room and instantly falls asleep on her bed.
Dreaming about flying in the air with her idol.

Eating a simple dandelion soup, yet delectable and well-prepared, Sweetie Belle is sitting at the dinner table with her sister Rarity.
“So how was your day today, dearie?” Rarity asks before levitating a spoonful of soup and taking a very ladylike sip from it.
“It was terrible, Pinkie Pie substituted for Ms. Cheerilee today.” Sweetie Belle sadly states.
“Oh, come now Sweetie Belle. It couldn’t have been that bad.” Rarity chuckles.
"She made us all run around because of this crazy floating chicken book" Sweetie deadpans.
"Well… that's Pinkie alright. Try not to worry dear, I'm sure it will all be fine," says Rarity with a sympathetic smile, "now time for you to bed.”
Sweetie Belle yawns, “I might as well. I’m going to need all rest I can get if Pinkie will be substituting tomorrow too.” Sweetie walks up to the stairs towards her bedroom.
“Good night Rarity” she yawns.
“Good night Sweetie Belle and don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Rarity replies her to sister as she heads up to her room.
The next day, each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders takes a separate path to school. For some unexplainable reason they were feeling very sleepy this particular morning, so they barely paid any attention to their surroundings on the way there.
As they met on the school grounds they gave their usual greeting to each other and then started heading to the entrance.
Scootaloo yawns, “I am so tired today. I couldn’t sleep last night.”
“You too Scoots?” Applebloom tiredly asks, “I didn’t sleep well last night either.
“Me neither!” Sweetie Belle squeaks half of her usual squeak. The bags of her eyes are visible to the other two.
“Well that’s not good,” Scootaloo lazily states, “we won’t be able to keep up with any of Pinkie’s antics.”
“Well it can’t get worst from yesterday.” Sweetie points out, “What Pinkie Pie did that day tops any abnormal thing she’s ever done.”
“Yea, I’d have ta agree with ya on that Sweets,” Applebloom agrees, “That is really hard to beat.”
“Yea, it’s not like she can make the school float or anything weird like…OMF!” Scootaloo stops abruptly after walking face first into some solid barrier. “Ow… WHAT IN TARNATION!?”
“Hey, that’s mah line Scoots, get your own!”Applebloom shouts back to her friend.
Being still a bit groggy, the CMC rub their eyes to clear of the residual sleep, to be sure they were seeing clearly. Their jaws drop as a collective and they can’t believe their eyes. They could now see that, in fact, the thing Scootaloo ran into was the stairs of the school... Which were now floating in midair along with it.
