‘‘Are you sure about this Twilight.’’  spike asked as he roll up pieces of paper for the trip.

Twilight use her magic to get some bottle ink off the shelf. ‘‘Yes spike.’’ she retorted as she floated the ink in the saddlebag. ‘‘The sights and rumors are too many to ignore.’’ she said.

‘‘But it doesn't mean it's real.’’ He replies as he waves his claw around in the air.

“I know that but-.” she was about to say something more but spike interrupted her.

“I know, that I can't stop you so that why.” He paused for effect. “I'm coming with you.”

Twilight look satisfies. “Oh, I thought you wanted to stay here?”

“Well.” Spike put his claw on his chin to make a thinking position. “You can't get kidnapped or worse.” He said with a worried tone.

Twilight simply roll her eyes. “Spike, I'm not going alone.” She said that she pack more things and her bag.

Spike tilt his head in confusion. “Who you going with?” He ask as he crossed his arm.

“With the rest of my friends, who else.” Twilight answered as she used her magic to put the saddlebag on her back and she walk over to to the door.

“Ahh....” Spike couldn't figure out what to say next.

Twilight open the door and pointed outside “Spike, are you going to go with us?” she asked.

Spike looks happy. “Yes, just let me get my thing.” He said as he rush to upstairs to get his things.

It wasn't just over five minute before Twilight heard things was happening upstairs. After a while Spike came down wearing clothes that looks like for a professor well wear.

“My princess.” Spike said in a mocking tone. “My name is professor Spike from Canterlot Royal Library,” He said with a dramatic polls. “At your service.”

Twilight laughed  at Spike antics and decided to play along. “Well professor Spike” She said with a polite voice. “we need to get going, you don't want to get left behind by your colleague.” Twilight imply as she simply walk out of the door.

“Ok princess.” Spike said as he follow behind.

----------------------------

After walking down the road. Twilight and Spike approach sugar cube corner. They open the door and went inside the building to find the rest of their friends were there waiting for them. “Come on Twilight!” Yelled Rainbow Dash as she hover over Twilight. “We've been waiting for you for 5 minutes.” She claim.

“I'm sorry girls.” Twilight said with a sheepish looks. “I was just gathering my stuff for the trip.”

*Applejack approach Twilight.*

“Well sugar cube, I'm pretty sure we have to go right now.” she pointed out as she hold the schedule of the train station. “We are have 7 minutes to get there before the trains leave.”

“Oh no I almost forgot, come on girls we need to get going before the train leaves us.” Twilight scream with panic as she gallop out the door.

Everyone else quickly followed her behind.

----------------

When they made it in train with just a couple minutes to spare. Twilight and her friends got on their own private room and sat on a seat.

The train whistle and it started moving forward with the sound of choo choo.* Which made the Mane six and Spike to think about the situation.

Twilight: I wonder what kind of books they have, I imagined millions.

Applejack: I wondering what kind of farming technique they have.

Rainbow Dash: I wondered that somepony is fast as me, not like anyone faster than me.

Pinkie Pie: I wondered what party they have, do they like cake or cheese or bread, maybe something else, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Rarity: Hopefully, they have better fashion that the diamond dog and are civilized.

Fluttershy: I wonder what type of exotic animals they have and lovely places.

Spike: look at her. she is beautiful.

The whole room is silent until Twilight decided break the silent.

“Well girl's.” She said breaking the silence. “How was your day today?” She ask nervously.

“Well... sugar cube.” Applejack spoke while putting a hooves on her chin. “I was able to collect most of apple's today and help prepare Granny Smith for the next zap apple harvest.” She answered with a smile.

Rarity nods her head in acknowledgement. “Well that's interesting darling.” She states as she wave her hooves in the air. “What I did was to deliver my latest fashion to some important pony in Canterlot.” She said with a smile on her face.

Twilight nods and turn to see Fluttershy who is in the corner. “How about you Fluttershy?” She asked the shy pegasus who decide to hide behind her mane. “What did you do today?”

The shy pegasus spoke from her corner. “Um… Well, I was able to help a family of bunny find a new home after their home was destroyed by a flood.” she said with a quiet voice.

“And I been practicing my cool moves.”  Rainbow Dash added for no reason.

“Okay, thank you for adding that Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said with annoyance.

“So how about you Pinkie Pie?” Twilight ask the pink pony who is hopping around.

“I help plan a birthday today and and bake cakes and got news party supplies and read a book on 35 ways how to party at a funeral.” She said with a happy tone of voice.

“…..Okay.” Twilight Said to herself. “Anyways the reason we are going to Manehattan is to explore an island that was discovered 5 months ago by Griffins merchant ships.” She explained as Rainbow Dash raise one of her hooves in the air.

“Yes Rainbow Dash, what is it?” Twilight ask the rainbow color pony.

Rainbow Dash proceeded to put down her hooves and speak. “Twilight, why are we going to explore a hunk of rock?” she said with boring look. “I thought we were going to fight a new villain or find a mysterious treasure.” She said.

“No Rainbow Dash we are not going to fight the new enemy, maybe.” She answered. “We going to check this island to contacts the inhabitants of the island if they need help.” Twilight explain to everypony in the room.

“Why?” Rainbow Dash ask.

“Because we are able to trade with them and learn about their culture.” Twilight said happily.
