Rainbow Dash drag her hooves into the ground. Endless at her side. Doing the same. Rarity and Apple Jack Pulling them. Rainbow dash was cover in Pudding. Endless had a mix of Pudding and Gray Paint. 

“Come on Twilight. We can just clean our self off in the pond.” Dash Pleaded. Endless was really worry. The last time Rarity had got him to go. He walk out as fluffy as Pinky Pie Mane.

“Anywhere but here.” he cry out. As Twilight open the door. 

“Not the beauty salon!” They cry out together.

Twilight walk up to the counter.

“We need the 5 full beauty package” she told the pony behind the counter. Rarity and Apple Jack Slip. Letting go of Rainbow dash and Endless. They bolted for the door. He was running but not going anywhere. He look back and saw Twilight holding both him and rainbow dash in the air.

“I don’t think so. You two plan that prank. Now you going to get clean.” she said.

“Why isn’t pinky here? She help.” Dash yell. 

“Ya. She came up with the plan.” He agree with rainbow dash.

“Because. Pinky Pie. Is cleaning the mess you left.” Rarity said. He thought of how pinky was cleaning. She was properly Eating or giving bowls away. She be having fun. 

A Few minute later. he found himself in a bathtub full of bubbles. Three pony’s enter with brushes. They started to scrub him all over. The pudding came off easy. The paint was the painful part. As they rub it off. It made his skin feel raw. The worst part was his mane. It was already gray and the pony washing him didn’t know. 

“OW. My Mane is gray. My mane is gray.” he said as they pull his hair. A Few minute later. They were done cleaning. They lead him to a large room with a pool. The water was steaming. He was told it was a Turkish bath. He sat down it the water. It felt great. The raw feeling soon went away. 

He sat there for a few minute. There was giggling coming from the other side of the wooden wall to the left. He notes a sigh hanging. 

“NO PEEKING COLTS! MARE SIDE! YOU LOOK YOU DIE!” He close his eyes and lead back. He was didn’t want to break any rules. He open one eye. But. he look around. No one would know. He move slowly to the wall and found a knot in the wood. It was hanging half out of the board. he look around again. 

There was no pony around. He pull the knot out. He duck and look around. He was still alone.  He could hear the girls talking. 

“Now. Rainbow Dash. You can’t say this doesn’t feel good.” Rarity said.

“I guess. But they better not touch my hooves.” Dash told her. 

“Well shot. Even I enjoy a good hove scraping.” Apple jack said splashing Rainbow dash. They soon got into a full splash fight. 

“Girls, Girls.” Twilight said stopping them. He duck. He thought he had been spotted. 

“It not very lady like to splash about.” she said. 

“Twilight right. You need to do it more like this.” Rarity said. He could hear splashing. The girls giggle and laugh. He put the knot back and lay back into the water. Floating on his back. He move himself back to the edge. Resting himself there. 

He close his eyes and thought about Luna. He wonder if she was into this kind of stuff. She was royalty. He smile. He started to think about his birthday. Before everything happen. He would have like to have more time with Luna. he relax and stretch everything. He had a big smile on his face.

“Move I can’t see.”

“Shhhh.” 

He sat up. He look around. There was no one around. He dunk his head under water. He stay there for a minute. He pop up and lead back on the pool wall. He hear the girls giggling again. He rolled his eyes. He never understood filly’s. Why they found everything funny. He wonder why they were giggling. He felt something bump him. He pick it up and look at it. It was a small knot of wood. His heart sank. He look over to the hole. He could see an eye. Looking at him. He jump out and grab a towel. He slip on the floor. Almost losing his towel. He close the door behind him.

He left after that. He figure that it was only fair. He look at then. They got to look back. But it was still an odd feeling. He head back to sweet apple acre. But on his way he ran into Flutter Shy.

“O. Hello Endless. How did thing go with Discord?” she ask. Angel bunny on her back a black cat in a cart she was pulling. 

“We agree to be friends.” he told her.

“O that good. I hope it wasn’t to much trouble.” she said. He smile thinking about all the trouble they made.

“No. We got along. It just took a lot of chocolate Pudding.” he laugh. 

“Well that nice. I hope we all stay friends.” she said with a sweet smile. Angel Bunny grab Flutter Shy ears and kick the top of her head.  

“O what is it honey?” she ask. The little bunny pointed at the black cat. Who had left the cart and was stuck in a tree.

“O no. come back here.” She said run under the tree. she climb the tree a foot off the ground. 

“Help. I’m to high.” she yell. Endless walk over confuse at the sight of her. She was a Pegasus after all. He pock her and pointed down. She blush and step down. The cat cry out. 

“O. He so scare. Can you get him.” She ask with big sad eyes. He sigh. He was a sucker for that trick. 

“Ok. Be right back.” He flew up. The cat jump to different branches as he grab for him. Every time he reach for the cat. It jump higher. He stop. He had found an old kite. The cat was playing with the string. He had an idea. He grab the kite and move the string about and got the cat to follow. He soon had the cat on the lower limbs. He wave the string by the end of the branch. The cat jump. He grab the string. Slipping between his claw. He was heading for the ground. 

“O no.” she yell. She close her eyes. He quickly flew down. Catching the cat inches from the ground. 

“I got ya. No need to worry.” he said landing. 

“Here you go Flutter Shy.” she open her eyes and ran to the cat. 

“Mid-Night. Do scare me like that.” the cat meow. he laugh a little. He pet the cat on his head. He started to Per. 

“Ah. He like you.” she said taking hold of him.

“I like me to. If I just save me from falling.” He laugh. The cat jump from flutter shy legs and landed on his back. He made himself comfortable. 

“Were are you heading Flutter shy?” He ask. Know that the cat was stuck with him now. 

“O I was just taking Mid-night here. Around town. I was hoping to find him a home.” She told him. He knew what she was going to ask next. 

“I would. If I had my own place.” he told her before she could ask. 

“O. Ok. Well thank for the help.” she said look a little sad.

“I’ll just get him off your back then.” she said. 

“Well. He can stay there for now. I help you look for a good home for him.” he told her.

“O that would be great.” she smile. 

He walk with Flutter Shy into town. After a few hours of asking different pony’s if they wanted Mid-night as pet. They ran into Spike and Twilight. 

“Hi guys. What are you two doing?” Spike ask.

“We’re trying to find this cat a home.” he told them.

“What cat?” Twilight ask. Not seeing the cat on his back.

“O. Right.” he bounce a little. Mid-Night stood up and stretch. 

“Wow. He blends right in.” Spike said. Amaze by the cat. 

“Endless why don’t you just keep him as a pet? I mean you seem to like him and he seem to like you.” Twilight ask.

“I would if I had my own place. But since I don’t. I can’t.” He told her.

“Sweet Apple Acre has more then enough room. I’m shore apple Jack wouldn’t mind. Have you ask her?” 

“No. But I can’t. I can bearly afford to live there myself.” He told them.

“Well. I could keep Midnight at my Place. I mean. until you fine you own place.” Flutter Shy told him. he thought about it. Then Midnight cruel up on his back started purring. He smile. 

“That sound fine.” Twilight smile and bent down to the sleeping cat.

“Hey midnight. BOO!” The cat jump up landing on his Back. Digging his claws into his back. 

“OW! Twilight. why?” he ask a little confuse.

“That for Peeking.” She said laughing and walking off.
