Just an average day in Ponyville. Twilight and her friends trotted down the street. " 'Ah sure am excited on what this lottery is about." Applejack said. "Well I bet it's something cool!" Rainbow Dash said. They decided to prepare everything for themselves. Three days later they get mail. It said "Congratulations! You just won the International Equestrian Naval Exercise and is now in Thunderbolt's fleet! The naval exercise begins in two days. Be prepared!". They were all shocked except Rainbow Dash. "This is AWESOME!" The blue Pegasus said. " 'Ah can't believe we're going to a naval exercise!" Applejack said. "Oh my. This might be dangerous." Fluttershy said. "Luckily I have a "Naval Battle" guide." Twilight said. "At least we don't get messy." Rarity said. The six ponies prepared themselves for the event. Pinkie wanted to stay. "You can stay Pinkie." Twilight said. After two days they met Thunderbolt. She showed the fleet of hers. "Twilight and I will command the USS Canterlot. Rainbow takes over the USS Cloudsdale. Fluttershy on USS Equestria. Applejack and Rarity on USS Everfree." Thunderbolt said. Rainbow Dash squees in delight. "Too bad Pinkie's gonna miss all the fun. Because we're having a victory party when we win." Thunderbolt said. "How do you know we're gonna win?" Rainbow Dash said. "Because this is the tenth time and we won the past nine exercises." Thunderbolt said. Pinkie decided to come. By the time she got there the ponies boarded their ships. Thunderbolt saw her and said "You must be Pinkie Pie.". She boards USS Canterlot. Few hours in the exercise they see a pillar. The fleet of Thunderbolt approaches and sends a raft armed with a fifty caliber machine gun to investigate. A pony touches only to sent backwards and activates a forcefield.
