Discord still stands at the entrance of the back barn of the Apple’s. Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack and Spike had already woken up and walked passed him without being noticed. It was like he was still turned to stone and didn’t break out yet. The sun is setting, beaming warm blood orange and golden yellow colours. He was able to at least turn around to face the main house. In his mind he had two pink haired ladies. One of course, was his ultimate crush… and the other, with lighter pink hair, his best friend. He needed to find the latter of the two. Stat. Discord never felt this way before and had someone to talk about it too. ‘Friendship, I suppose, really does have some perks!’ he thinks to himself and floats his way to the main house.
Fluttershy and Rainbow dash are sitting in a tire swing hanging from a large majestic tree just watching Discord float by. Rainbow starts to whistle and Fluttershy cheered a ‘Woohoo! You Rock!’ at him. He snaps out of his daze for a moment and turns his head. Discord takes a bow and heads over their way.
“You saw that?” Discord asks the two Pegasi.
“YEAH! OF COURSE we saw that!” Dash shouts at him holding up her hand for a high five. After looking at him blushing for a hot sec, she receives one. “Thought you were gonna leave me hangin there!”
“I guess I don’t have to find you and tell you about this incident, considering.” Discord tries to sound like himself.
“Yep! And we’re headed inside too! Dinner is ready! Pinkie is already inside.” Fluttershy says with a gleam in her eye and snuggles into her Rainbow’s arms a little bit deeper.
Dash wiggles both her and Fluttershy free of the tire swing. She carries her wifey in her arms next to Discord. “Shall we?” Discord nods his head to confirm. “By the way, Pinkie IS inside, but she’s hiding next to a side table in the living room with a lamp shade on her head.”
“Oooo La La!” Discord says smiling as they walk to the threshold of the main house.
*******
“Psssssssssssssst!!! Discooooooooooooord!!! Overrrrrrrrrrrrr HEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeerrrre!!!” Pinkie hissed at his direction and waved him over to separate from the Pegasi.
Discord whispers at her crouching down to the coffee table level. “What are you up to, my dearest Pinkie?”
Pinkie leans over so close to Discord’s face without touching. “Oh nothing, just waiting for dinner and IT’S READY!!!” she bounced her way to the dining table but turns around just to say “Aren’t you coming?”
Discord snapped his fingers and was sitting at the table before Pinkie turned around to continue inside the dining room. He patted the seat next to him so she could sit down.
“Attention everyone!” starts Twilight Sparkle while everyone starts plating their food. “That was just a taste of what the dream world was like. I think we did an amazing job. I emailed the Princesses about it already. It was nice and very, very sweet just to get the feel of the world. We did not encounter the King Sombra Dream Force… with the exception of Dash, A.J., Spike and Pinkie… AND Discord. So, we will be continuing our shared dreams tonight to have a run at this army. Not that we weren’t going to be sharing dreams again tonight, I was just explaining what we were doing… I mean, there’s another option…”
“We got your point, Eggy!” Dash says awake but tired at the same time sounding kind of grumpy and impatient, most likely hungry. “What’s next?”
Winona starts barking outside. It was more of an excited bark rather than a protective bark.
“Ah wonder who that can be!” Apple Jack stands up to get the door. “Oh, Mah Goodness Gracious! Princess Luna! And… Spitfire?”
Rainbow Dash was immediately by Apple Jack’s side after hearing the name Spitfire. “Hey, dude! Whatcha doin here!?” she held out her fist to Spitfire’s fist and pounded it.
“We cometh baring news, which is both good and bad for thee…” Princess Luna says.
Spitfire finishes the Princess’s sentence. “…and more help offerings.”
“Well, don’tcha just stand there! Come on in! Yer just in time fer dinner!” Apple Jack clears herself and Dash from blocking the door letting the new guest arrivals inside.
“We just started. Twilight was just going over what we need to do next.” Dash explains as they walk back to dinner.
“Hi, Princess Luna!” Twilight says with a smile. “What brings you here? Hello, Spitfire!” she looks passed the two new comers of dinner.
“Hello to thee as well, Twilight Sparkle, everyone else… Princess Celestia had other things to tend to and is grumpy about it. She’d rather join thy feast!” Princess Luna takes a seat. “Continue on with what thou hath to say.”
“If you insist, Princess.” Twilight says.
“I do. I want to enjoy this meal first!” says Princess Luna as Rarity sets a plate down in front of her. “Thou did not need to do that, Rarity, I could have done it!”
“It certainly was my honour to do so, Princess.” Rarity smiles sitting back at her seat.
“I’ll cut my speech short. Our two options are either to fight King Sombra’s Dream Force Army for more practice or start building the dream levels which need to be complicated enough for King Sombra to be disoriented and simple enough for us to weave through it.” Twilight finishes what she needed to say. “Princess? Your news?”
“Spitfire, speaketh for me, please.” Princess Luna says eating.
“Of course.” Spitfire stands up to talk to the table occupants. “In my training for the Wonderbolts in the Academy, there was still dream army training. They ended that the year after I was done. Oh, and King Sombra switched from taking a train to taking a plane.”
“You were trained like King Sombra’s Dream Force? You always seem to be an extra 20% cooler each time you’re around talking about your life. And I’ve known you for years!” Rainbow Dash says in awe. “We should get you to help with this Inception! Hmmm, we have too many people already though.”
“It’s all cool, Dude! Guess who the PILOT is going to be!!!” Spitfire goes for a fist bump.
Dash pounds her fist against Spitfire’s. “WOW! AWESOME!!!”
“So which plane are you flying?” Twilight asks the question in everyone’s mind.
“A 747, duh!” Dash says excitedly.
“Dash is right. The plane is a 747.” Spitfire confirms.
“And why does it matter, dear, what type of plane is it?” Rarity asks trying to understand the whole conversation in front of her.
Twilight answers “I just read a few books on airplanes! Because in a 747, the pilot's up top, and the first class cabin's in the nose, so no one would walk through. But you'd have to buy out the entire cabin. And the first class flight attendant...”
“I own the airline.” Princess Luna says. Everybody turns and stares at her with an expression on their faces saying they should have known that already. Princess Luna just shrugs.
Spitfire adds “And, I took the liberty in assigning the flight attendants and the weather control team so that it’s a smooth flight with no turbulence. You guys have the 10 hours you need.”
“So who’s our team!? WHO’S OUR TEAM!?” Pinkie Pie asks excited for new team players. “We can throw a PARTY welcoming them into this job!”
“The weather control team is Dash’s trusted mates. They are going to fly alongside the plane outside. And I have my dear Soarin as the flight attendant.”
“Rarity, you better start designing his flight attendant's dress!” Pinkie says getting everyone to laugh. “He’ll be really HOT!”
“We should get Fleetfoot as our flight attendant! She’s sexy!” pipes up Spike and everyone laughed at him too.
“Whoah, whoah! Hey, Guys! I just remembered something else.” Spitfire says in a crucial tone and looks at Princess Luna receiving a head nod. “Because of your earlier practice imitating King Sombra’s Dream Force, it alerted the real Dream Force. There’s trouble up ahead. And it will get worse each level deep you get in the dream world. So you know.”
“Wowwie, that there is important!” Apple Jack says as Fluttershy grips onto her Rainbow tighter and asks “R-real?” at the same time.
“And, since it’s a flight instead of the train, the date has been pushed up… don’t worry. You still have a few days. Not a week anymore though.” Spitfire goes on.
“An-anything eh-else?” Fluttershy whispers her question.
“Nah, that’s it.” Spitfire runs a few fingers through her hair.
An imaginary light bulb clicks on. “Would you two like to join our slumber party!?” Pinkie asks the two guests. “We’ll have so much fun sleeping!” she giggles.
“I believe…” Zecora talks “…I have extra concoctions up my sleeve.”
“That sister of mine will shoot me if I do not return carrying food for her from this dinner. I thank thee for thy offer. Perhaps I can join thou at a later hour while thou all are already asleep.” Princess Luna suggests.
“How are ya gonna do that, Princess?” Apple Bloom asks from the still known as 'kiddo corner' "...ya know... without potions and all?"
Scootaloo nudged Apple Bloom from under the table with her leg getting an ‘Ow!’ from Sweetie Belle. “OOPS! Sorry Sweetie Belle, my bad!” she turns and faces Apple Bloom. “She’s the PRINCESS of the Night TIME! Remember when we all went camping? She was in my dreams guiding me.”
“That is true what Scootaloo speaks.” Princess Luna tells the table.
“How about you, Spitty?” Dash asks.
“Mmmm, I suppose this is going to be real fun and it’s the best that I can enjoy since I’m flying the plane in a few days.” Spitfire grins and pulls out her phone. “I’ll just text Soarin right now saying I am not coming home and I’m sleeping with a room full of ladies!” Spike coughs really loud. “And, Spike, who is harmless.”
“AWESOME! You can bunk and squeeze in with my Flutters and me!” Dash offers.
“We wouldn’t mind…” Fluttershy says “…if that’s okay with you…”
“That sounds cool. Thanks!” Spitfire says still grinning.
Princess Luna clears her throat after taking her sip of water. “Then it is settled. I shall meet all of thee later in thy dreams.”
“I’ll take pictures!” Pinkie says all happy.
Rarity couldn’t help herself and says “Oooo La La!”
Everyone started to laugh. Even with the situation on hand, the vibes were still positive and booming.
Pinkie zoomed out of the dining room and into the kitchen and bounced back to where she was sitting originally. “A party without CAKE is just a meeting!” she says and serves everyone a slice. Silence always appears when dessert comes about. It’s a blueberry cake with a banana filling, raspberry frosting with lemon pie filling coating it. “It’s FRUITY! Like, almost this whole room!”
A beeping sound comes from Spitfire’s pocket. She reaches at her phone again. “AH HAHAHA! Soarin says he wants pictures...PINKIE!!!”
