It was a while since the incident with Gilda and the House of Pony took three days, another, to get back set up again. Luckily, the Snotty Duo didn't show up during those times so Diamond Tiara didn't get her chance to close down the club.

Because it was thanks to Rainbow that Gilda came to the club, she was punished by not knowing who will guest star in the next few shows, much to the mare's annoyance. Of course, soon Rainbow found out that this week's show will involve her, making her wonder: what could it be?

Twilight smiles as Spike gave the introduction for her, "And now, ponies, put your hooves, claws, hands or whatever you got for the mare that made purple a fashion statement...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

The audience cheers as Twilight came onto the stage. She exclaims, "Thanks, folks, thank you! What a crowd we got here tonight! Say, it looks like we got a stallion of very little brain in the audience tonight!" Everypony laughs as Tough Apple smiles while waving. "Awww, I was kidding, Tough Apple. We love ya! Give that stallion some Caramel Apple, on the house!"

"Tough Apple; Toughie," Pinkie ask puzzled as she held a plate of caramel apples while on the rooftop. "Where is that silly pony?"

"Okay, for those who don't know, the musical guest stars today are AOD AKA Awesome on Delivery, a band that was made during the Battle of the Bands in a somewhat fanmake of the third Strong Bad game." Twilight said as she points to the screen, it shows a familiar cowpony and a goofy cross-eyed pony. "They of course consist of our very own Applejack, the lovable weird eyed Pegasus pony Derpy Hooves..."

We see a third picture that is silhouetted as Twilight continues, "But can any of you folks guess who the third member is, the mare who started the band and the contest in the first place?"

Rainbow was watching this as she exclaims eagerly, "I know, it's me!" True, the mare started the band to get into the contest to win the bits so that Twilight can fix her Game Machine, but afterwards the band got popular to making songs, winning contracts, etc.

In the booth, Applejack smiles as she took out a punching globe and hits the projector hard, causing the screen to start up.

We see Twilight interesting the Changelings as she asks, "All right, the AOD members are Applejack, Derpy Hooves and..."

Ed and Fred looks confused and begin to think. The former spoke, "It's Derpy for sure!"

We see a jump cut as Pinkie Pie was being interviewed by Twilight. The pink pony does her best to think as she spoke, "The third AOD member...okay, I am pretty sure that there's six of them...wait, are we talking the band or the Mane Six??"

In the next jump cut, Twilight is interviewing Buttons and her daughter Baby Buttons, asking, "Do you know who the third member of AOD is?"

"Oh, oh! I know, I know, I know!" Baby Buttons squeals as she jumps up and down eagerly.

In another jump cut, Twilight was talking to Pinkie who is still thinking. She said, "Let's see...Applejack, Derpy Hooves...oh, wait; I know! It's Sweetie Belle!"

"Uh, no, Pinkie Pie; this is a different set of trio." Twilight remarks to Pinkie dryly.

In another jump set, Rainbow is interviewing Lyra Heartstrings and Bon-Bon, the former laughs, "The third member of AOD, that's no brain stumper! It's Cheerilee!"

"Err I think you are thinking of something else, Lyra." Bon-Bon said to Lyra in concern. "She's preferring to the band who premiered in that Battle of the Bands thing. I believe its Rainbow Dash."

In another jump cut, Twilight shakes her head in annoyance as Pinkie was still thinking. The unicorn said, "Pinkie, I will give you a hint. She has a rainbow mane and a rainbow cutie mark on her flank."

"Rainbow mane and cutie mark..." Pinkie said with a pause. "Err...hey! I know! It's Twilight Sparkle!"

"Hey, you don't got a rainbow mane and a rainbow cutie mark on your flank, you silly filly!"

Once the shots are done, Twilight laughs in amusement while saying, "Wow! Out of those folks I've interviewed, only a few even guessed that the third AOD member is another one of our own: our fast daredevil Rainbow Dash!"

Now the spotlight shines on a familiar mare hitting her head against the wall in anger. She can't believe that not many folks or ponies remembered her as the third AOD member! Rainbow saw the spotlight on her as the applause begins.

Rainbow smiles and waves to the crowd as Rarity came up, smiling as she said, "Goodness Rainbow Darling! Why didn't you tell me that you were a third member of the DOA?"

Rainbow's eye twitches as she snaps, "Rarity! You were there at the Battle of the Bands thing that we did! You and your band performed while we were making the thing! I sabotaged your attempts; how could you not remember?!"

"No offense, Rainbow Dash, but I prefer not to remember the negative but the positive, thank you very much."

As Rarity trots, Rainbow stares angrily as Twilight announce onstage, "All right, and now for the Cutie Mark Peas!"

The band does their dance that they do every week as Scootaloo whispers, "We got to make a note to be more original."

Rainbow looks annoyed and unappreciated; she still can't believe that barely any pony remembers her as the third member! The mare said, "Oh, I will show them all. I'm the star of the Awesome on Delivery!"

The Snotty Duo arrives, ready for another night at the club (as well as Diamond Tiara's next attempt to shut the place down). But a new bouncer got in their way.

"Excuse us, Brave Heart, but we must enter this house." Diamond Tiara said to Brave Heart arrogantly.

Brave Heart of course won't let these two push him around; the alicorn knows what to do with these two brats. He check the list while asking, "Are ye lassies on the list?"

"Yeah and your accent is funny!" Silver Spoon laughs some more. Brave Heart growls and snorts at the filly brats, causing them to stop laughing.

"Makin' fun of me accent, are ye?" Brave Heart demands more than he asked. "Well, then...I'm going to ask again; are ye girls on the list?"

Brave Heart checks the list, yep they are on it but the alicorn decides to get payback for them mocking him. He pretends to look while saying, "Hmm...Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon...Nope! Not on the list."

"Not on the list?!" Silver Spoon demands to Brave Heart, unaware that the alicorn is messing with them to get back at the two for mocking his accent.

Brave Heart smirks a devilishly secret smile as he said, "I'm sorry, but ye fillies are just not on the list. So...please leave, now...while I still allow it."

Silver Spoon interrupts Diamond Tiara while saying, "Save it, Diamond Tiara. Save it. Brave Heart's a great warrior, so your dad has no chance against him."

Diamond Tiara growls angrily to Brave Heart, "Grr. This is not over yet, Brave Heart; you can't keep us out forever."

The Snotty Duo leaves but Brave Heart knows that they will be back again. At least the alicorn will be prepared for when they do.

"Get back here, you little hopping freak!" Swiper yells as he chases after Angel, the fox is trying to eat the little bunny. Unfortunately, the fox yelps as a familiar Pegasus pony got in his way, giving him the Stare.

"No, Swiper. Leave Angel alone," Fluttershy snaps at Swiper, making him nervous as he backs away.

Rarity goes over to a table where Firefly, Gen 1 Twilight and Lickety-Spilt are at, Rarity spoke up, "You ponies here for the MIA show? If you don't know, I am friends with the third A. You know it's Rainbow Dash, right?"

"Of course I know, she's my descendant," Firefly exclaims to Rarity with a grin. "Uh, does she has a cousin by any chance?"

Some singing is heard as Spike notices that someone is on stage singing. The baby dragon asks, "What's Lizardo doing on stage?"

Dr. Lizardo: There's a fire going on, but the party's just begun,
So keep your focus looking at me tonight.
So the world's about to end, gonna party with my friends,
And ain't nobody gonna say it's not right

"I will have my song duet with Spike one day, ponies. You cannot deny what is rightly-" Dr. Lizardo was cut off as Twilight blasts him right off the stage, much to the amusement of the audience.

Pinkie explains, "Simple, because the authors are using this as a running gag until you give in and put it in a future chapter of this story." The pink pony of course is risking breaking the fourth wall.

"Errr, sorry about that, folks; Anyway, here's a cartoon starring the favorite third member of AOD, Rainbow Dash!" Twilight exclaims. The audience applauds as the next cartoon starts.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A RAINBOW DASH STORY

Rainbow's Fish Fry

It is a fall in Ponystone Park as the animals are almost done getting food for the gather, preparing for the hibernation. Long Hoof, the head of the park who is half robotic, was looking through the checklist while calling out, "All right, bears, front and center!"

Harry the Bear, a huge bear, arrives, followed by the other bears who somehow push him to the back of the line. Long Hoof grins at the line of bears, trotting along until he came up to Harry himself.

"As usual, last in line, Harry." Long Hoof said in disapproval while writing on his checklist. Harry growls in protest. "No excuses, Harry!" Turning to the other bears, the stallion continues, "All right bear, once I give the whistle, that will be your permission to start fishing!"

The bears nod as Harry sneaks off, positioning himself. This is one bear who wants to get to the lake first and get some fish before the others too. Long Hoof's robotic hoof make a whistle come out before he took a deep breath and blows into it.

Harry prepares to run off but the other bears stampeded onto him, knocking the bear down dizzy. Long Hoof frowns in disapproval as he remark, "You are lying down on the job again, Harry. Honestly." The bear growls as he got up and get ready to go until the stallion stops him. "Harry, your winter hibernation begins tomorrow so you better get a really BIG fish! This will be your last meal until spring and I prefer that you don't eat all my beans again like you did last year!"

Harry growls in innocence. Long Hoof, frowning, said, "I know it was you. Promise me that you will get a fish this time." The big bear growled while nodding. "Now do I make myself clear? Get yourself a BIG fish or you'll starve!"

Harry nods, understanding what Long Hoof is telling him. The pony smiles while saying, "Glad that we understand one another. Good luck, Harry."

Once Long Hoof is gone, Harry sighs in relief. Finally! The big bear prepares to head out but then the other bears rush by him, each one has a load of fish. One bear had a handful of fish, another had a basketful. One bear got a bag full of fish while another had a wheelbarrow full of fish. Heck, even another bear has a grocery store container full of fish. Even one had a really big trout.

Harry frowns in concern, unless he gets a fish soon, he himself will starve. Just then a fish jumps around in a lake, making the bear's eyes widen in excitement. A big fish!

Harry jumps into the water, diving in and grab the fish. As he was leaving though, the bear fails to notice that a line is attached to it. Before Harry could bite into the fish, the line moved, taking the thing with it.

Harry looks confused then looks shocked. On the lakeside is Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy's friend who is wearing a fish gear (the big bear is good friends with the yellow Pegasus pony so he knows all about the rainbow mane one) and is reeling in a fish via fishing rod.

"Man, what a big fish. Thank goodness I've learned how to fish at last!" Rainbow exclaims pleased. "Yeah, I'm a pony who doesn't eat meat normally...but even I can't live on treats, berries and flowers alone after all."

Harry frowns. That was his fish first! He grabs a stick and put some string to it. Now the bear threw the line and grabbed the fish that is attached to Rainbow's line.

Rainbow prepares to get the net when she saw that her fish was getting away, making her exclaims, "Hey, what gives?!" The mare saw that Harry was pulling on the other end, recognizing him as one of Fluttershy's animal friends, "Hey, big guy! You may be one of Fluttershy's animal pals but no bear is getting my big fish!"

And thus, a tug of war for the fish begins. Harry tries to pull Rainbow but the Pegasus pony do well by pulling her opponent into the water. The fish kept getting pulled and pulled, until Rainbow pushes a button to get rid of all the string that he had. As a result, Harry fall back and fly right off.

Harry hit the wall, much to Rainbow's delight as she laughs like mad. However, the bear has the last laugh: when he peeled himself off, Harry smirks upon seeing the fish in his paws, making him laugh. Rainbow looks shocked before frowning. No big bear's going to make a fool out of her!

Rainbow saw a huge rock perched on a cliff that looks like it is about fall right onto the taunting Harry. With a smirk, the Pegasus pony grabs a smaller rock and skips it across the water so fast that it went up high and hit the bigger one, causing it to fall right onto the bear before he could take his leave.

Rainbow laughs as she feel in the fish, but ends up freeing Harry from the rock in the progress, causing both him and the fish to fly right at the mare. The two fighters collide with one another, resulting in Rainbow to fly right off with Harry now wearing the fisherman's gear.

Rainbow continues flying until she collides right into the ranger station. An annoyed Long Hoof kicks the mare right out, resulting in another switch around with Harry. In other words, the mare is back in her gear while the bear ends up right into the water, flying right off.

Rainbow grins as she saw the fish in her hooves. The Pegasus pony cheers, "Oh yeah, I still got it!"

A while later at her campsite site, Rainbow got the fish prepared to cook and eat. Harry was watching from the bushes with a smirk. He isn't giving up until his fish is his.

"Harry!" Long Hoof scolds Long Hoof as he passes by. "What did I tell you about spying on the guests? You are supposed to be catching a fish!" The stallion left as the bear nod. Oh, Harry will get his fish all right.

Rainbow grins at the fish onto the table and remarks, "Now where, did I put that knife thing?" She heads off to get her sharp fish gutter as Harry went over to get the fish. "Oh, found it!"

Harry saw Rainbow coming back with a sharp fish gutter and hid under the table. The mare goes back to the table itself while looking at her sharpening tool, saying, "Not sharp enough. Let's see..."

Rainbow reaches out for the table and grabs some sharpening paper to use to sharpen the tool. Of course, it was actually Harry's own tongue. The mare, not noticing, uses it to scrape the tool. Harry does his best not to scream in pain or more.

Rainbow release Harry's tongue, causing it to go back into the bear's head. The mare heads off to get some supplies, giving her trespasser a chance to put his paw onto the picnic table to get the fish.

Harry's paw was in the fish's mouth when Rainbow came back early, prepared. The bear cringes from under the table as he heard the sharpening scrapes of the tool that send his fur off his paw and right off the table. Again, Harry does his best not to scream or roar in pain. He should tell Fluttershy what her friend did to him somehow.

"All right, time for some salt." Rainbow said as she put some salt right into the fish and, unknowingly, Harry's arm. The bear sighs in relief...until the salt begins to seep in. Harry roars and runs off in pain.

Rainbow look confused as she looks around. Is Harry or someone else here? But she shrugs it, must be paranoid or something; nothing to worry about, right?

Harry went off to the side and held his arm, jumping up and down and waving his hand. The bear sighs, his arm was fine...of course then the fur on it peels off rapidly. Not a good day.

Rainbow hums as she put the fish right onto the grill then looks over, starting to go back with the fish, remarking, "Oops! Forgot the charcoal! That would've been a poor mistake!"

Once Rainbow is gone, Harry came back and looks around. Upon seeing his opponent coming back, the bear got an idea as he grabs the grill, putting it on his head. Rainbow smiles as she came back with a bag of coal, reading the bag's label, "'Self-lighting charcoal'. Man, what does magic come up with next? It does the fire itself; it saves me the trouble of asking a unicorn to light it."

Rainbow put the charcoal onto the grill and sure enough, it went on fire. The mare grins as she heads back to get the fish. During this time, Harry removes the grill...with his mouth full of charcoal! The bear panics as he rushes into the river to put the fire out.

Rainbow hums as she put the fish right onto the unlighted grill, unaware of what happened. Harry wasn't so lucky: his mouth exploded by the time he got to the river...literally!

"All right, perfection," Rainbow said upon looking at the cooked fish in front of her. Now she can eat! But the moment the mare closes her eyes, a fishhook grabs the fish, causing it to go up. Rainbow opens her eyes and looks surprised, "What the hay?! Where's my fish?! Who's the wise mare?!"

Rainbow look up and frowns: there's Harry again in a tree nearby, reeling in the cooked fish. Not this time! Just then, another hook came down, hooking the fish. The bear look up to see a furious Rainbow trying to get her fish back from another branch.

Harry goes up to another branch and reel the fish back up. Rainbow counters by flying upward, getting the fish up. This goes on for a while and soon the Pegasus pony got the fish...though she isn't on a branch and on top of the tree itself.

Unfortunately, due to the fish being so heavy, Rainbow couldn't fly any longer as she fell downward to the ground hard, the fish lands on her head. Harry jumps, landing right onto his opponent. The bear grabs the fish and growls as if saying 'Thanks, mare!'

Harry rush off, turning to taunt Rainbow. Unfortunately, this means that the bear wasn't watching where he was going as Harry run into a hammock, getting tangled up and sending the fish back into Rainbow's hooves.

Rainbow laughs and taunts her opponent as she flies off, going into her boat and activating a speedboat, getting the thing to go. Don't ask me why she needs a speedboat when Rainbow could fly. It's just one of those things.

Rainbow, frowning, took out some bamboo from the pond and grabs a rock to make a peashooter. He then shot a rock into the boat, causing it to deflate like mad.

"Awww, horse feathers," Rainbow groans as she tries her best to hang on; the deflating boat goes up the cliff and round before flying over. Harry smirks as he grabs the fish, humming while walking off.

Rainbow frowns while looking over...then head to the ranger station once more, going inside. The mare yelps as the annoyed Long Hoof hits her with his robotic arm, sending her flying right out of the place.

Harry saw Rainbow coming back, flying and without the deflated boat, looking very ticked off. The bear runs off with the Pegasus pony in hot pursuit. He climbs up a tree to escape her, causing Rainbow to goes past it...but then she turns around and flew up towards the tree.

Harry gasps as Rainbow caught up to her on top of tree, demanding, "All right, Harry, give me that tree and I won't tell Fluttershy why you were bugging me!" The two tug at the fish with the top bending right towards the ground. "Come on, beat it!"

Unfortunately, the two fighters release the fish at the same time, causing the tree to send it right right into the air, the two gasp in shock and horror. There goes their prize fish!

At the ranger station, Long Hoof grins as he prepares to eat his supper, uncovering a plate at the table while saying, "Let's see what I got to eat." To his annoyance, the stallion saw a can of beans on his plate. "Ugh! Beans again?! Well, may as well..."

Before Long Hoof can get a can opener, the fish appear, knocking the can itself right into the sky and onto the stallion's plate, much to his surprise...and delight. Finally! Something other than beans for once!

"Oh yes, this is more like it! Fresh trout and cooked to perfection!" Long Hoof laughs as he begins to eat the fish. "This is so good even for a stallion!"

At the picnic grounds, Rainbow frowns in defeat. She lost her fish, all thanks to Harry. The bear is sitting near her, looking down in defeat as well.

"Well, nice going, Harry; I wonder what Fluttershy saw in you in the first place! What are we going to eat now?" Rainbow asks Harry angrily. As if to answer her question the hard way, the can of beans lands on her head, much to the bear's surprise. "Oh, beans..."

Rainbow groans as she faints to the ground. Harry took the can of beans then smiles. Not much of a meal but hey, a bear's gonna eat, right?

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds for another success. Harry is in the audience, applauding for that classic scene.

Pinkie bounces up to Harry and put a plate in front of her, saying, "Got your fish blow...err blow fish right here, Harry!"

Harry smiles as he saw the fish in front of him and takes it. But before the bear could eat the fish, a familiar robotic arm grabs the fish from her, pulling it to another table. Harry grunts in shock and confusion.

"Sorry, Harry, but these things aren't good for you. Me on the other hoof, I am half robotic so I am not worried about gaining pounds!" Long Hoof chuckles as he took the blow fish and eat the thing happily.

Twilight was getting things ready for the first two AOD members to arrive when she saw Brave Heart, upset and annoyed, trotting into the backstage area. The mare asks, "What's going on?"

Brave Heart grunts, "That snot nosed bairn Diamond Tiara and her friend Silver Spoon tried to sneak into the House of Pony and worse, they made fun of me and me accent. I donna understand as to why you'd allow such brats here, Twilight lass, but if it were up to me, I'd see to it that those girls got spanked for disrespecting me; Brave Heart, son of Strong Wind! I will not tolerate such insolence and-."

Twilight nods in understanding as she explains, "I know, but you can't always get what you want. You may be a great warrior and a hero, but...Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are rich, whereas you aren't. "

Brave Heart frowns as he said, "I'm aware of that, lass. It's just that they need to learn to respect their elders, no matter what accent they have and no matter where they're from."

Ben Mare looks over backstage in the House of Pony. As Twilight, Nyx and Spike comes over, the purple unicorn ask, "Ben, about Derpy and Applejack. Are they...?"

"They will be here in 10 minutes and 30 seconds." Ben Mare said quickly, interrupting what Twilight was saying.

"Whatcha looking at, daddy," Nyx ask Ben, noticing that her father is looking at someone in a concern.

"The other two members isn't the problem, that is!" Ben Mare exclaims as he points a hoof. The others look over and saw a disbelieving sight. There's Rainbow Dash, in a grey jumpsuit and is wearing dark sunglasses and a bling on her neck.

"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?" Twilight ask Rainbow in annoyance as she trots over to her friend. "You are supposed to be working at the door!"

"Nein, nein," A voice spoke up as a familiar fashion pony came over, smirking as she said, "Ze Dash Formerly Known as Rainbow doesn't do that no more."

"Wait, Photo Finish?" Nyx, Spike and Ben Mare ask in surprise, recognizing the pony as the famous fashion photographer who once gave Fluttershy a chance at the spotlight, only for the meek Pegasus pony to leave afterwards due to the trouble that it was giving her.

"The Dash Formerly Known as Rainbow?! What's going on here, Photo Finish," Twilight demands to Photo Finish in annoyance.

"I am Rainbow's lawyer and agent. If you wish to say anything to the pony, you can tell me and I will tell my lawyer, rented out by our legal team..." Photo Finish explains as another lawyer appears behind the photographer followed by more lawyers before they run off screen. "...who shall talk to me; and I will talk to the Dash."

"I thought you were a photographer for fashion." Nyx said to Photo Finish puzzled.

"Ja, still am. But I decided to also take on ze world of entertainment for ze magick."

"You're kidding, right?" Twilight ask in disbelief as Rainbow did another pose, making her friends frown in disbelief.

Rainbow smirks as she whispers in Photo Finish's ear. The mare then told Rainbow, "You see, Twilight-o De Egghead...ja, she told me to call you by zat name...Ze Dash Formerly Known As Rainbow realizes that her role as ze third member of Awesome on Delivery didn't exploit her full star potential."

"Yeah, plus Rainbow only made that band to help fix her Game Machine!" Spike points out to Photo Finish in annoyance.

"Ja, but ze second is a waste of my time. The first one is as ponies don't seem to see Rainbow as zat." Photo Finish explains to the group. "She believes that by getting a new image for herself, the mare will be popular again. And I will be there to make sure I don't make ze same mistake like with Fluttershy."

Rainbow snaps her hooves as she flew past her friends, saying, "Later, alligastors."

"Great! This is just gonna increase her ego." Spike said in annoyance while slapping his forehead. This won't end well at all!

Right about then, those two bullies is at it again, planning on getting back into the House of Pony; And of course, a certain alicorn cousin of Rainbow still at the door.

"Halt! Who goes there?" Brave Heart booms upon seeing the two landlords once more.

"Whatsa matter; they don't have haggis for you to eat?" Silver Spoon taunts Brave Heart while laughing. The alicorn kept his emotional in check this time, fighting the urge to hit these two fillies.

Diamond, imitating Brave Heart, mocks, "Oh, look at me! I'm Brave Heart, son of Strong Wind. And I wear a skirt where I come from."

Silver, imitating Brave Heart, taunts as well, "Aye, and I have a crazy accent and a gender confused attire."

"And I-." Diamond stops and looks puzzled. For some reason, Brave Heart isn't getting mad or try to get back at the two fillies. "What? No come back; nothing?"

"Nope. Nothing; I hate to admit it, but you girls are right. I am strange to you. You're on the list, come on in...to your fate that is; Ha ha ha ha," Brave Heart remarks, laughing as he motions Diamond and Silver to come into the club.

The two landlords look uneasy as they came into the place. Why do Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon got a bad feeling that they're being set up for something?

In the seating area, as the Cutie Mark Peas perform their number, Rainbow begins making a name of herself, giving away merchandise of herself.

"Here you go, have a cap!" Rainbow exclaims, throwing a cap at Surprise, causing the party hat that she's wearing to fall onto the confused Galaxy. "And a button," The mare threw a little button onto Cranky Doodle Donkey's wig, much to his shock.

Apple Polish, Bastion Yorsets and Jazz frowns in disapproval from their seat. Bastion comments, "Ahem, I do believe that merchandise give away of Rainbow Dash shouldn't be allowed in this club."

"Ja, but this is ze Dash Formerly KNOWN as Rainbow merchandise." Photo Finish points out to the entrance exam judges as she pokes her head in.

The trio of ponies got into a huddle as they discuss this. Then they nod as Apple Polish said in approval, "Ah. In that case, it's all right then." Just then a safe fell onto them, making a familiar comical sound effect. Applie Polish opens the case and came out saying, "We're okay."

Twilight, impressed, watch from, offstage as she comments, "Wow, I got get me a lawyer/agent...of course, one who isn't like Photo Finish."

"Twilight, you're on!" Ben exclaims to Twilight as he push his filly-friend onto the stage. Once the performance of the Cutie Mark Peas is done, everyone gave a huge thunderous applause.

"Twilight, message," Spike said to Twilight as he came out and gave a letter to Twilight.

Twilight opens the letter and reads from it, "I also have an announcements, folks; The Dash Formerly Known as Rainbow is currently signing autographs in the lobby...wait, AUTOGRAPHS; WHAT THE HAY?!"

Sure enough, in the lobby, a lot of fans cheers as Rainbow as the mare signs a lot of autograph books before throwing them back to the fans. They scream in delight, "Rainbow Dash is awesome!"

"Oh yeah, you said it!" Rainbow laughs as she did a pose, much to the annoyance of her pals watching. Even they admit that the mare's ego is at it again.

Back on stage, Twilight recovers while speaking to the audience, "Just for a reminder to you folks, after the next cartoon, it's Awesome on Delivery!" Just then a banner fell down and covers the mare while the audience applauds; Twilight teleport from behind the thing, looking to see that it said 'THE DASH FORMERLY KNOWN AS RAINBOW...and Awesome on Delivery, "Yu got to be kidding me; well, ponies, here's one cartoon that RAINBOW herself should be watching!"

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A PINKIE PIE STORY

How to Be Smart

"Hey folks! Welcome back to Equestria's favorite game show, 'Egghead', the show where smart questions are asked with smart ponies completing!"

We now see a game show set as the narrator, unseen, is at the podium, speaking to the two contestants at their podiums. One of them is Time Turner which the other being Pinkie Pie. Yes, it's surprising that the pink pony has got this far in the finals, maybe she got easy questions. The stallion smiles in preparation though his opponent appears to be a bit nervous. Pinkie got lucky on the last rounds, but this one is the final one, the hard question round.

"Time Turner...and Pinkie Pie...get ready for the final round of the Eggheads questions. Today's category is..."

"Questions That Pinkie Will Never Answer, Not in A Million, Billon Years Even with Pinkie Sense"

Time Turner push the button as he answers, "That would be Calcium Carbonate." The bell dings, meaning that the stallion is right.

Before Pinkie could push her buzzer to answer, Time Turner beat her to do it as he said, "Daylight Savings Time!" The bell dings once more.

Pinkie tries to answer once more but Time Turner hits the buzzer, answering, "What is psychic ability, as if that was a hard one?" Sure enough the bell dings as the winning music plays. This stallion is indeed the winner!

"CORRECT! And thus, the game is over! Time Turner, you have just won 3 MILLION BITS!"

Pinkie looks surprised as the mentioned amount of bits is dropped near Time Turner. That is a lot of money!

"What?! Awww, come on, I don't even have that kind of bits!" Pinkie protests to the game show host in concern.

"Wow, rich again, hard to believe," Time Turner said while piling the money into a wheelbarrow. "This will be hard to fit into Tardis; Makes me glad to be so smart."

The narrator coughs as he left his game show host voice and goes to his 'How to' one.

"Oooh, I sense that a How To thing is coming!" Pinkie exclaims happily. Her Pinkie Sense told her that a How To sketch is coming for her to be in.

At an elementary school, Pinkie came in to see a lot of desks...in a small sized classroom. The mare commented, "Wow, tiny but funny!"

Of course, the school bell rang as a bunch of ponies came in, followed by a young colt who looks like a kid version of Time Turner strangely. Of course, the stallion has use one of his machines to be a colt, agreeing to help his friend out in this segment. As Kid Time Turner pushes Pinkie out of the way, he snaps, "Out of the way, move it!"

"When the school bell rings, that means it's time for everyone to take their seats."

Pinkie spots the students at their tests. Time for her to sit down so she goes to an abandoned one and tries to do so; It took her some time, like diving in, going in head first, lying down on the chair then lifting the desk and getting her flank settled in, but she manages to do it. Of course, Pinkie looks confused as the school bell rings once more.

Pinkie yelps as students as well as Kid Time Turner, who yells, "Out of my way", rush past Pinkie to go outside, covering the mare in a cloud dust. Once it settles, Pinkie is stuck in her desk. She tries to get out but due to how small that the seat and chair were, Pinkie is stuck.

"Well, holy cupcakes!" Pinkie groans a bit. This is difficult. The mare took some time but she finally got out of the desk...just in time for the bell to ring causing the students and Kid Time Turner, who yells "I said get out of my way", to trampled her over as they came in.

In a library, Pinkie sat down, picks up a book, and read the title out loud, "The Three Muske..."

"SHHH," A librarian shushes at Pinkie, causing the mare to look sheepish and whisper.

"Oopsie; sorry; The Three Musketeers," Pinkie opens the book, but yelps as a sword came out of it and swish and slash at her face. The pink pony lifts her face, showing multiple faces. "Well, holy cupcakes."

"Of course, one should indulge in all of the classics like 'A Farewell to Arms'..."

"Now then, being smart is the same as being well read. Soon our student advances to Junior High School."

Pinkie, recovered from what happened, stood next to an automatic screen while looking over curiously. What's going to happen now?

"A sure sign of smarts is one ability's to write, and the beginning writers are wise to choose a simple sentence."

Pinkie spots a sentence being written on the board which she reads, "'I Am Smart'; Wow, that is true!" Of course, the pink pony heard laughter, turning to see Kid Time Turner with the clicker; the colt smirks as he points it at the board. That doesn't look good.

Kid Time Turner uses the click to change the sentence. Pinkie reads it and frowns, "'I Am not smart'. Hey, that isn't nice, Mini-Turner!"

Kid Time Turner smirks as he uses the clicker once more to change the sentence. Pinkie, frowning, reads the sentence, "'I Am not smart and I smell'. HEY! I OUGHTA..."

"And let's not be too scared to use other nouns like descriptors in your sentence."

To Pinkie's anger, Kid Time Turner uses the clicker to change the sentence. The pink pony reads it angrily, "'I AM Not Smart and I Smell like A Parasprite'. Okay, you're going to get it!"

Pinkie chases Kid Time Turner but the colt version quickly gallops off, causing the pink pony to accidentally slipped and fell, clicking the clicker to make another word.

"Okay, the serious students shouldn't overlook physical education, for all work and no play makes Jack one dull boy."

We see a gym as kid Time Turner is in gym clothes. The colt frowns upon seeing that he is short compared to the tall Pinkie who is now in gym clothes.

"To be honest, I don't know anypony named Jack but at least physical education is one thing that I'm good at!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she grabs a basketball, twirling it around playfully.

Kid Time Turner tries his best to get the ball but Pinkie giggles as she held a hoof to hold him back, keeping his hooves off the ball which is still twirling. The mare points at the colt while saying, "Not to be a meanie pants, but that Time Turner is soooo short!" The filly now shot a goal, making Kid Turner look down in disappointment.

"For those not height advantaged, at least the dramatic effects of puberty can help him or her out."

"Or time travelling can help too." Kid Time Turner commented as he uses Tardis to make him older...as well as bigger, much to Pinkie's shock and alarm.

"Holy cupcakes," Pinkie yelps. Time Turner then grabs the ball and slams it onto her head, causing the mare to get hammer into the floor...literally!

We now see Time Turner, now a teen, is doing complicated math on the board, much to the confusion of Pinkie who looks at the problem, trying to figure it out.

"Now, high school includes the great challenge for a student...the dreaded higher mathematics. Even though that should be in college but for ponies, that's something else."

Time Turner finishes his problem, smiling as he put the piece of chalk away before trotting off. The mare pauses, trying to figure a problem out, mumbling, "Okie dokie lokie. All you gotta do is add this round thing to the whatever, subtract thing, and it equals...this point!" Pinkie grins as she turns the board to reveal some shapes on the board. The mare looks at what she made, realizing something, "Oopsie, forgot the decimal point."

Pinkie prepares to put the decimal point in when the shapes that she made turned into a real person on the board. The pony looks surprised as she exclaims, "Well, holy cupcakes!" She tries to touch the chalk person but it kept jumping before running off. Pinkie frowns as she chases it. "Come on, stand still, little chalk guy!"

Pinkie starts to dance while snapping, "Let's do this!" She jumps inside the chalk board as the person grabs an O and T to form as a shield and a sword. The pink pony grabs an O and I and begins fighting the chalk person.

"A lot of students struggle with high mathematics but one cannot forget the basics like subtraction..."

Pinkie smirks as she slain part of the chalk person's arm, causing it to drop both the arm and the shield; Looks like the pink pony is winning.

To Pinkie's surprise, her opponent turns into two chalk people, making her yelp, "Gah! Oh no," The pink pony bounces out of the chalkboard with her enemies following. She slips and fell out of the window...

....and landing onto a stage in a graduation gown and cap, looking around. Pinkie is surprised upon seeing where she herself was. Wow!

"Okay, we only have a couple of minutes left so I will get to the point. Good, you've done it, my intelligent friend. You have made it through school! We would've gone through college but there's no time for that. Now you got your degree which says 'I'm Smart!'

We came back to the game show set a moment later as Time Turner, normal age, and Pinkie, still in her graduation, grown are behind their podiums once more. The narrator coughs, changing his voice back to the game show host one.

"All right, time to put those smarts to the test with our Egghead Bonus Jackpot question!"

Time Turner smirked confidentially while Pinkie smiles; Time to see if her new smarts would help her this time.

"On the cooking show 'Cooking Celebrity Style', on two seasons, what is the main catch phrase of Celebrity Chef Ponyio LaBennette?"

Time Turner prepares to speak but looks puzzled as he said, "Wow. That is a tough question."

"Wait, he doesn't know the answer?" Pinkie asks surprised that Time Turner couldn't get the question for once. "Well, holy cupcakes!" Suddenly the bell dings, much to the mare's surprise.

"Chef Ponyio LaBennete's main catch phrase is indeed 'holy cupcakes'; with that logic, Miss Pie, you are our new champion!"

"You got it, Pinkie." Time Turner said with a proud look. "A student of higher learning is always victorious in the end!"

"Time Turner is right. Also, not to worry, Pinkie Pie, I was joking about the 3 million bits that you owe us. That was just to get you to do the How To sketch."

"Aww, that's okay, Mr. Narrator! I still got my smarts and my pants!" Pinkie exclaims happily. Of course, the pony spoke too soon as a cane came from out of nowhere and swipes her gown away, making her yelp in embarrassment as everyone laughs.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

The audience applauds once the cartoon is over. Twilight looks off stage to see them doing so. Well, it's almost time but the hard part is getting Pinkie back to normal since she won't listen.

Back stage, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were there, ready to cause more trouble...when Brave Heart appears, smirking as he said, "Oh, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon."

"How did you get back here?" Silver Spoon asks Brave Heart with a blink of confusion on her face.

"I'm an Alicorn, ye know." Brave Heart explains to the fillies, keeping his mischievous look on his face. "But I've got a surprise fer ye."

"What's the surprise? Is it a new and rare jewel?" Diamond asks eagerly to Brave Heart.

"Is it a new species of animal?" Silver ask curiously as to what surprise that Brave Heart has in store for the two fillies.

"No, it's something else entirely." Brave Heart answers. He gets out a certain Easter Island mask and scares the fillies. "Booga booga booga!"

"Aah! Daddy," Diamond screams in terror as she hides behind her best friend. Brave Heart removes his mask and laughs as he points to the terrified fillies.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha; Teach ye to make fun of me, ye uppity fillies! I'm from Eatinburgh."

Twilight came in, seeing the two fillies while saying, "Well, Diamond, Silver, since Brave Heart has taught you two your lessons, I was wondering, and before Applejack and Derpy could get here, if you do listen up...and you better do so unless you want the same treatment."

As the party goes on, Twilight explains what she wanted Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to do for her in the future in return for letting them into the club from now on.

"Unless you two fillies do those favors, Brave Heart might force you to do them." Twilight said to the brats before turning to Brave Heart. "Brave Heart?"

"Aye, Twiley... Booga booga booga," Brave Heart booms while scaring Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with his creepy mask once more.

"Stop! Make him stop!" Diamond exclaims frantically. She will do anything; just make Brave Heart stop freaking her and Silver Spoon out.

"The pain; the pain," Silver exclaims in agreement, feeling like she's going to faint at any given moment.

"Booga booga booga," Brave Heart booms at the two fillies, making them scream in terror once more.

Twilight chuckles as he motions Brave Heart to stop, "Okay, that's enough Brave Heart. They've learned their lesson." The alicorn took his mask out, smiling in triumph.

The two bullies left frantically as did Brave Heart. Well, that problem is solved but there is still the main one. Twilight frowns at her frowns, relaxing in an easy chair. She still insists on doing her own solo thing and not with her Awesome on Delivery.

"Rainbow, come on! The audience wants to see Awesome on Delivery with all THREE members!" Twilight exclaims to Rainbow while marching up to her. "Come on, you are part of their team."

"Was part of their team, egghead!" Rainbow remarks without bothering to care. "But tell you what, just to humor them, I guess I could perform with them for the first act...but for the rest of the performance, yours truly is going solo!"

"Say, I wanted to ask something of..." Nyx said as she trots up, remembering something that she wants to asked her Aunt AJ.

Suddenly, the backstage doors open without warning. Twilight and Nyx looks startled as Applejack came in riding on a bull like a cowpony does at a rodeo. The Earth pony laughs, "HEEHAW; Howdy, everypony!"

"Oh brother. No wonder I wanted to change my image." Rainbow groans upon seeing Applejack coming in on the bull. If she's here, that means...

Soon a red carpet rolls into the place, all the way over until Derpy is revealed. She smiles while saying, "Hey, everypony, yahoo!"

"Howdy fro' Sweet Apple Acres as usual, Twilight," Applejack exclaims as she got off the bull and shakes Twilight's hoof. "Sorry it took so long; 'De Apple Bucking took longer than expected." Derpy then shakes Twilight's hoof as well.

"Auntie AJ, I wanted to ask. Mommy told me that you haven't arrived just yet but I saw somepony that looks like you a few minutes ago in your usual booth." Nyx explains to Applejack puzzled. "What gives?"

Just then, a lookalike of Applejack, this one has a coat of dark orange, a mane of green with yellow streak in mane, green eyes and a red apple in a diamond as a cutie mark, came by with some props, saying, "Oh, hey Applejack!"

"Howdy, Applejack," Applejack exclaims while waving to the other Applejack with a grin. "Thanks fer waiting 'de booth fer me while Ah perform tonight."

"Applejack fro' Generation 3, Nyx," Applejack answers to Nyx with a slight chuckle.

"Enough stalling, listen, the crowd has been waiting for you ponies." Twilight explains to Applejack and Derpy with a smile. "But we got a bit of a problem..."

The group saw Rainbow stretching as she said, "Okay, AJ, Derpy, we will do the music number first...but leave the rest of performance to me as usual, the Dash Formerly Known as Rainbow! I got a lot of fans with my new image as it is."

"Right, Auntie Dashie feels unappreciated because most folks don't seem to remember her as the third member of your group." Nyx explains to Applejack and Derpy of the situation. "Now she is 'going solo' and her ego trip..."

"Hoo doggy, Dashie felt unappreciated an' wanna be a star, eh?" Applejack ask Twilight and Nyx with a smirk, getting the idea.

"Yeah, think you can straighten her out and snap Rainbow out of this thing that she's in?" Twilight ask Applejack and Derpy with a nod.

"No worries, Twilight, we got a song prepared just for her!" Derpy answers Twilight with a smile. She and Applejack has one song that will teach Rainbow a lesson and give her one Tartarus of a wakeup call!

The time has come. Twilight is on stage, smiling as she said, "And now...Awesome on Delivery!"

The stage was focused as we see a familiar cowpony hat, a sombrero and a Daring Doo like hat on stage. As music plays, Applejack pops out of her own hat as she begins to sing.

Rainbow pops out of the Daring Doo hat...but due to the outfit that she had on, it flew upwards.

Of course, Derpy and Applejack didn't let Rainbow finish. They squeeze her between themselves, making the cyan Pegasus pony feel crush as the trio sings.

Trio: We are Awesome on Delivery!
We love to sing and to dance
And to jump up and down
While we play lots of music

Applejack and Derpy took out their guitars while Rainbow struck a pose while trying to dance.

The trio lends their ears as if hearing something. Of course, thanks to her bling that she's wearing, Rainbow fell over and that got worst when a bunch of cans trampled over her, chasing after Derpy and Applejack. Rainbow got back up, groaning as she wonders what happened. That wasn't in the musical acts that her band members had prepared.

"Rain..." Rainbow was cut due to Applejack and Derpy interrupting her. The mare looks confused, why were they moving in on her number?

Without warning, a drum, a cymbal and a tuba fell onto Rainbow, much to her song. What the hay is going on?! This wasn't in the number that she planed! It's like Applejack and Derpy is embarrassing her on purpose!

Rainbow saw her pals skating nearby, much to her confusion. Why are they doing this? This wasn't in the number either. The mare turns and screams as more fans stampeded on her. She got back up and come face to face...with a bull! Rainbow screams and flew off as the bull itself chases her, being ride by Derpy and Applejack. Their friend flew around the stage as the animal plows her, sending her around. The cyan Pegasus pony soon lands by Derpy and Applejack with a large hat landing on the mare, covering her up.

Derpy and Applejack: We love to sing and to dance
And to jump up and down
Thus we move to the music!

The song continues as Derpy and Applejack moves every hat then moves aside. We now see Rainbow in a Coltmen Miranda outfit, fruit hat and all like the outfit she wore on Nightmare Night. Rainbow stood in front of the dress in shock and embarrassment. She is getting more angry; Derpy and Applejack has obviously set her up!

Rainbow growls some more as her pals link their upper forelegs to her, dancing and singing.

"I'm Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow yells as she tries to take control of the performance but to no prevail.

"I'm Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow yells. Derpy and Applejack let the mare go, making her so angry that she rips her dress right off.

"And me, Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow exclaims in alarm and covers herself even though she's a pony so being naked shouldn't be a problem.

Applejack laughs as she and Derpy caught the falling Rainbow with the sombrero on.

Once the song is done, the audience applauds and cheers. Derpy and Applejack took their bows...though Rainbow looks ticked off, enough that she chases after her pals who were leaving the stage.

The party at the club is about to come to a close. Spike smiles as he spoke to Brave Heart, "Cool party so far, eh, Brave Heart?"

"Aye, Spike, lad. Thisbreminds me of me home, Eatinburgh." Brave Heart said with a pleased look on his face.

"The Equestrian equivalent of Edinburgh, Scotland...only...more agricultural and traditional rather than modern...so to say."

"Aren't you upset that your cousin was humiliated in the performance?" Spike asks Brave Heart, referring to the fact of Rainbow's humiliation during her performance by Applejack and Derpy.

"Nah; I saw how me cousin was having one ego trip so perhaps one wake-up call should fix me cousin good." Brave Heart remarks to his friends with a laugh.

Backstage, Twilight was humming as she uses her magic to keep back Rainbow who is trying to strangle the calm Applejack and Derpy. The cyan Pegasus pony yells, "ARGH! YOU LITTLE...I WILL GET YOU!!!"

The ponies wait until Rainbow calms down a bit. As Twilight lets her go, Derpy chuckles, "Sorry, Rainbow Dash, but you asked for it; we just needed to make sure you got a wake up call."

"Eeyup, yer're letting yer ego git 'de best o' yew again just like what happened during 'de Mare Do Well incident." Applejack points out to Rainbow, making her friend glares at her friend. The embarrassment was just to teach her a lesson.

"Right, and haven't you listened to the audience? They loved you out there!" Twilight insists as she points offstage to the audience. Rainbow turns to see the audience who are applauding for the musical number that happened.

Rainbow looks surprised as the audience is chanting her name. The mare smiles proudly while saying, "All right! I am really a star!"

"You got it. And you will always be some ponies' favorite OAD member, including mine." Rarity said happily as she came up to Rainbow. The mare's eyes twitch a bit, annoyed by her friend getting the letters wrong but she shrugs it off.

"And not to worry; I will see to it that everypony remembers you this time." Twilight assures her friend that a lot of folks will remember Rainbow as the third member. She turns and calls out, "Spike!"

Spike smiles on stage as she calls out, "Folks, today's entertainment is courtesy of..."

"...Awesome on Delivery Soundtrack! Featuring the Dash Formerly Known As Rainbow!"

As the song titles scroll up, we see pictures like Rainbow's tail on fire while Derpy and Applejack get fires extinguishers to put it out, the cyan Pegasus pony throwing a bit though her pals look on in confusion, and finally we see Derpy and Applejack laughing as an annoyed Rainbow wears a fancy dress while dancing.

"Rainbow Dash's Tail En Fuego, No Way Rainbow, and let's not forget the Darling Rainbow Dance."

"Awesome on Delivery's Greatest Hits," Spike is then heard speaking in a low voice. "Warning, some of Rainbow's lyrics may be hard to hear."

As the audience applauds, Applejack and Derpy shakes Twilight's hoof as the mare exclaims, "Thanks Awesome on Delivery and good night, everypony! The Sparkle, Currently Known as Twilight, will see you very soon!"

Of course, as the show is about over, the trio saw Rainbow flying after them, angrily as she realizes that she herself is being set up to be embarrassed once more. They run off with the cyan Pegasus pony chasing them while yelling, "I WILL GET YOU THREE!!!"
