It was 5:15am and the sun hadn't risen yet, but was getting ready to. Ponyville had the perfect temperature for spring and a nice breeze swept through town. Sport and Twinkle Bloom were cuddling around the time their alarm went off. Twinkle Bloom and Sport slowly opened their eyes and stared at each other. Sport was the first one to speak.
"Good morning sweetheart." Sport yawned.
"Good Morning my love." Twinkle Bloom replied still half-awake.
Sport then got out of bed and looked out of the window. He opened it and felt the breeze run through him. His mane blowed with the wind. He saw the train station in the distance.
"Well Twinkle Bloom," Sport said closing the window. "That felt nice, anyway we might as well get a move on. We can sleep more on the train. I'll go wake up Striker." Sport said walking over to Striker's room.
Twinkle Bloom got up after that as Sport opened Striker's door. Striker was in a little ball cuddling his blanket.
"Awwww." Sport thought to himself. "He's probably dreaming of his foalsitter again."
"I have…..the best….foalsitter…." Striker mumbled in his sleep. He huggled his blanket close to him and silently slept.
"Awwww, that's so cute!" Twinkle Bloom whispered to Sport.
"Yeah it sure is. By the way, you can hit the shower first." Sport said to her happily.
"Ok thanks! You're such a sweetie!" She squeaked as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey Striker, time to wake up buddy." Sport said.
Striker moaned and mumbled, "But I don’t' want to….."
"I know dude, you can sleep on the train and cuddle with Rainbow Shine ok?" Sport said to him.
"Ok…." He mumbled and rolled out of bed.
"I'll go down and cook breakfast, you can take a shower next after Twinkle Bloom. We got time. We need to be out though by 5:45-5:50 so we can get to the train station, they'll met us there." Sport explained to Striker.
"Ok big brother." Striker replied still half-asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At 5:20am, Ludwig woke up over at his and his sisters' house. He looked at the clock that read, "5:20am."
"Well, at least I'm now used to being up at this time." Ludwig chuckled to himself.
He walked over to his sister's bedroom. Rainbow Shine was sleeping and cuddling with her teddy bear and was ignoring her alarm going off.
"Hey sis, time to wake up." Ludwig called to her.
"But I don't wanna…." She mumbled.
"Come on, if you get up, when we get on the train you can cuddle with your little Strikey Wikey." Ludwig tempted her.
"Strikey Wikey!" She exclaimed as she woke up. "The cutest little colt ever!" She added smiling adorably.
"There that woke you up." Ludwig laughed.
"We better get a move on too so we don't miss the train!" Rainbow Shine pointed to Ludwig.
"I know, we got time." Ludwig pointed towards the clock saying "5:22"
"Ok, I'm going to pack then." Rainbow slouched out of bed.
"Let me help you while I pack too." Ludwig went over to help.
"Shouldn't you be excited like last night?" Ludwig asked.
"Not yet, I'm too tired to be excited." Rainbow moaned.
"What about Striker?" He asked.
"Strikey!" She suddenly woke up again. "I must protect him, a lot of craziness goes on in Las Pegasus so I better be careful. No pony will hurt my wittle Strikey Wikey!" She announced.
Ludwig jumped, "Alrighty, don't worry. Sport is here too. He definitely won't let anypony touch Striker too." He calmly said.
"I know, he's just the cutest little colt ever." She said picking up her teddy bear and cuddling it as if it was Striker.
"Awww." Ludwig smirked.
"Oh stop it you!" She playfully pushed him.
Ludwig rolled his eyes and smirked again. He then proceeded to help her with packing for Las Pegasus. It only took them 7 minutes. It was 5:29am.
"Ok, we need to be at the train station in almost 20 minutes. Do you just want to take a shower and grab some breakfast and the train station?" Ludwig asked Rainbow.
"Yeah that's fine. Ladies first!" Rainbow replied walking to the shower.
"Don't take too long though!" Ludwig called back.
"I know!" She said closing the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 5:40am over at Sport and Twinkle Bloom's house. Sport, Twinkle Bloom and Striker were packed and ready to go.
"Ok is everypony ready?" Sport asked.
"Yep!" Striker happily said. "I can't wait to see my awesome foalsitter!" He added jumping up and down.
"I know bro, you'll see her soon" Sport winked to him.
"I know." Striker replied.
"I'm ready." Twinkle Bloom said sweetly.
"Great, let's go then." Sport happily said as they walked out of the house with Sport locking it behind them.
They walked to the train station and got there around 5:45. The sun was beginning to rise a little as the breeze swept through their manes. They arrived, bought their train tickets and awaited for Ludwig and Rainbow Shine.
A couple minutes later they saw Ludwig and Rainbow Shine walking in the distance.
"Rainbow Shine!" Striker called to her.
"Strikey Wikey!!!" Rainbow Shine said putting her luggage down and running up to him. Striker jumped on Rainbow Shine and hugged her.
"Ohhhh! Who's my favorite little colt?" She adorably asked.
"Me!" Striker happily said jumping up and down.
"Ready for our little song?" She asked.
"Yeah!" He replied.
"Rainbows Rainbows, soaring through the skies. Below the colors you'll find... Striker and Rainbow Shine!" They sang and snuggled each other.
Ludwig picked up her things with his magic. "She's lucky I'm a unicorn." He joked to himself.
Ludwig bought two tickets for him and Rainbow, then he went to buy some muffins for them to munch on.
"I got muffins Rainbow, and if you guys want any, go ahead." Ludwig said to Sport, his wife, and little brother.
"We had breakfast but thanks bud!" Sport happily said.
"No prob, anything for a guard friend." Ludwig winked to Sport.
"ALL ABOOOAARRD!" The conductor called. "6AM TRAIN TO LAS PEGASUS NOW BOARDING!" He announced.
"Alrighty then, let's go." Sport said.
"Oh boy! I'm so excited!" Rainbow Shine exclaimed excitingly.
"Easy sis, don't take too much out of you." Ludwig joked.
"Hey, I'm just excited and-" She yawned. "And tired still."
They boarded the train, not many ponies were on this train. It was the five of them and maybe 4 other ponies. The train car was clean and the seats had soft green cushions. They put their luggage under their seats as Sport and Twinkle Bloom took a seat, Ludwig took a seat and offered Striker to sit with his foalsitter, Rainbow Shine. Striker obviously accepted it, took his blanket, and cuddled up next to her. Rainbow Shine wrapped her tail around him and kissed the top of his head, nuzzling his soft red mane.
"Get your rest my little Strikey Wikey. We're going to have so much fun together." She yawned.
Striker giggled and then fell asleep.
The clock struck at 6am and the conductor called, "ALL ABOOOAARRD! 6 O'CLOCK AM TRAIN TO LAS PEGASUS NOW DEPARTING!" He called out.
The conductor then entered the train and announced, "Welcome aboard the 6am train to Las Pegasus! We hope you enjoy the ride."
The train whistled out loud and puffed away from the station. The ride was very smooth. Sport saw Canterlot in the distance out side the window. He then looked at his wife Twinkle Bloom who was asleep cuddling up to him. He then looked outside the window again, the sun was rising with the sky bringing a beautiful red blush to the sky. The window happened to be open with the breeze running through him. He really loved it, but then he closed it so his wife wouldn't get cold. He knew it would be a long ride, so he fell asleep and cuddled with Twinkle Bloom. Ludwig had just got done eating a muffin, then he did the same thing and fell asleep.
The train to Las Pegasus has begun. But the craziness has yet to start.
