The Mane 6 had finished their ice cream and were now deciding on what ride to go on next, but they weren't getting anywhere quickly. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie wanted something epic (like another roller coaster), while Fluttershy and Rarity wanted something calmer. Twilight Sparkle personally agreed with Rarity and Fluttershy, as the roller coaster ride didn't really work out for her. 

The two sides continued their argument.

"But Rainbow Dash, you got to decide on the ride last time. And besides, let's go on a ride that we all agree on." Rarity said, looking at Rainbow.

"Yeah, but Rarity, roller coasters are the best rides ever, so we need to go on another one!" Rainbow said, hovering slightly in front of Rarity.

"Um...I agree with Rarity....I mean, if it's okay with you....." Fluttershy said, ducking her head and hiding behind her pink mane.

"Aww, it's okay Fluttershy, we can still have fun!" Pinkie Pie bounced over to Fluttershy, squeezing her into a hug. "We can go on something a little less crazy this time!"

Applejack nodded. "Good idea, Pinkie. Somethin' less crazy."

Fluttershy gave a small smile. "I'd like that." 

Rarity, Twilight, and Rainbow, (reluctantly) nodded their heads in agreement as well. After taking a look at their new map, Twilight had ruled some of the crazier rides, which was mostly roller coaster or rides that rides that involved getting wet.

Rainbow Dash soon spotted a ride on the map. "Hey, how 'bout that one?" she asked, pointing to the spot with her wing. "That one doesn't do loop-the-loops, spirals, and you stay dry. You just spin around in fast circles which causes you to stick to the wall due to the excess gravity. What do you say?"

Twilight looked quizzical. " I don't know, Rainbow. That still sounds like a really crazy ride."

Rainbow stood her ground. "Yeah, but it's tamer than the roller coaster, Twilight!"

Twilight signed. "All right, Rainbow, let's go...."




The six friends got on the ride relatively fast, as the line wasn't majorly long. Rainbow  Dash and Pinkie Pie went on first, followed by Applejack, Twilight, Rarity, and finally Fluttershy. It had taken a little convincing to get Fluttershy and Rarity to go on the ride, but at last they reluctantly agreed.

"It's really quit simple," Pinkie said, bouncing to her spot. "You just stand on your hind feet, and then let the force of gravity will make you stick to the wall!"

As soon as everypony had found where they wanted to stand, the ride operator said a few words, and the ride started up.

After a few seconds, Twilight felt her body get heavier. As the ride started spinning faster, Twilight felt extremely heavy and she was completely stuck to the wall behind her. That was all she noticed, until the floor dropped down a few feet, letting the ponies on the ride stick to the wall without support from the ground. 

Twilight looked around. Pinkie Pie was sideways, Rainbow Dash was upside down, Applejack was diagonal, and Fluttershy, Rarity, and herself were standing up on their hind feet. She also noticed that Fluttershy was getting teary eyed and Rarity was screaming about how her mane was getting messed up, while Pinkie, Rainbow and Applejack where smiling. As for Twilight herself, she was starting to get kind of queasy. It took all her willpower not to throw up.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, the ride started slowing down. Twilight could feel the floor underneath her hooves once again. She could see that Pinkie, Rainbow, and Applejack were standing upright again. When the ride stopped completely, Twilight forcefully feel back down on her front hooves. The world was spinning so much.....

"You okay, Twilight?" The unicorn could hear Applejack ash her. 

"Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight replied, as she was starting to feel better and more balanced. "But can we please go on a calmer ride now?"
