You been doing the same thing over and over getting up, going to work, kick some clouds, finishing work. Rainbow Dash would always offer you to hang out with her, You would always accept the offer. But when you didn't Rainbow Dash would beg you or follow you until you did. Day - Friday Time - 2:00 You had the day of work today so you just sat around your house doing nothing. You would play some of the music that your sister sent to you every now again. But the song you would play the most is the song that played at the party. (see last chapter for song). You would play the song out loud. You would even sing along with it some times. Knock Knock There was knocking on the door but you couldn't hear it because the music was too loud. Knock Knock Knock The knocking got louder but you still couldn't hear it. You hear something tapping on the window so you turn your head to the window to see a gray pegusus look at you with a angry expression. You get up and walk over to the door and open it "Hey Ditzy" you greet her "Do know how many time's I've knocked?" she ask you clearly annoyed "No" you say "At lest 5 times" "Sorry the music was a bit loud" you say scratching the back of your neck "So what brings you here?" "I have a letter for you" she says reaching into her bag "Why didn't you just leave it on the door step like you usually do?" you say "Well you have the day of don't you?" she say "yeah" "Whats the point of leaving it on the door step when your inside your house?" you blush to the fact you've been outsmarted "I guess your right" "Well here you go" she handing you the letter "Thank you, have a good rest of the day" you say back to here before she flys off You shut the door and start to open the letter. You start to read it Dear StarGazer Were having a family get together on the weekends, It wont be the same if the youngest of the family isn't there. We all need to see our little one.

But you can't forget the most important thing, an extra pillow, your Grandpa and Grandma would always set up the rooms but they only have two pillows, You can never sleep on one two pillow so you decide to bring a extra pillow. As you pack some extra thing to take with you. like headache pills just in case your brother decide that he going to whack you around the head. You hear an knock on the door.

"You do know that you were sleeping while standing up right?" the ticket pony tells you "I was?" you say with shock He just nods you find an empty seat, You unstrap your saddle bag and place it on the seat next to you.
