"We're here!" Applejack announced, pulling the van to a complete stop.
"Yes!" The Dasher was immediately out of the car and running around the old camping grounds. "It's just like I remember it!" she shrieked.
Lyra and Bon Bon's hot pink convertible pulled up next to them, and they stepped out, wearing scandalously short shorts and t-shirts.
"Get out of your van, losers!" Bon Bon said before applying lipstick while looking into a compact mirror.
"Did Bonnie just undergo a major personality change or am I crazier than a Christmas cake in April?" Pinkie asked as the remaining girls descended the bus's steps.
"It's Barbie Syndrome, it should wear off soon," Sunset assured her.
As the seven girls (plus two supporting characters) grabbed their bags and headed out to the woods, two girls appeared in the distance.
The first girl had pale blue skin, and shoulder-length blue curls. Her thick mascara seemed out of place at a rural camp, but no one really minded. She stood a few inches taller than the rest and appeared to be a young adult instead of a teenage girl.
The second had tan skin and scruffy ivory hair. She wore a fur jacket and cargo pants/boots, and in her hair was a mauve feather.
"Rara!" Applejack cried as The Dasher shrieked, "Gilda!"
"AJ!" Rara, the blue girl, ran to embrace Applejack while The Dasher and Gilda performed their Junior Speedsters chant.
"Oh!" Rarity wiped away tears from her eyes. "These reunions are so wonderful!"
"Who the hay are these two?" Sunset asked, though maintaining a placid smile.
"This is my old camp friend Coloratura," Applejack explained.
"Wait, as in Countess Coloratura?" Glasses asked, looking up in surprise. "My brother listens to your music all the time! Once I even walked into his room and he was-"
"And this," The Dasher interrupted, "is my camp friend, Gilda."
"I'm watching the pink one," Gilda said, eyeing Pinkie suspiciously.
"We're two of the camp counselors," Rara added helpfully. "I can't believe you're here, AJ! We have so much to catch up on!"
"I almost didn't make it, but things worked out," Applejack answered smoothly, throwing a hand around Rara's shoulders. The duo continued to chat as Rara led them into a rather large clearing.
Around ten to twelve cabins lay nestled in the underbrush, although there was still a large space for the campfire, as well as a "main hall" of sorts. All the buildings were, naturally, constructed of timber wolves.
"I cal shotgun!" Pinkie cried, noticing the zipline courses that arched over the girl's heads. Several other campers were testing out the zipline, and their excited shrieks filled the air.
"It's like flying," Gilda commented fondly.
The Dasher smirked. "Did I ever tell you I've actually flown?"
Sunset, Glasses, and Fluttershy watched with curiosity as a family of baby ducks waddled out of one bush and disappeared into the next.
"AJ's told me all about you, Fluttershy," Rara commented when she noticed the apples of their eyes. "I'm sure you'll appreciate that we allow wildlife to run wild complete unsupervised here."
Fluttershy fan-girled and promptly fainted.
"Woah!" Sunset and Glasses thankfully caught their lightweight friend before she hit the ground.
"Rara, where are our cabins?" Sunset asked, grinning sheepishly.
"Oh, well, I've split you nine up into two groups." Rara and Gilda led them over to two adjacent cabins.
"Twil-er, Glasses, Sunset Shimmer, AJ, Rarity, and Fluttershy will be in this cabin," Rara said, pointing to the one on her left.
"And The Dasher, Pinkie Pie, Bon Bon, and Lyra will be bunking in this one," Gilda finished, jerking her thumb towards the other cabin. "That's only four, but you'll meet your cabin-mate when she arrives."
"What's her name?" Lyra asked excitedly before Bon Bon elbowed her.
Gilda flipped her hair. "Gonna leave that a mystery for now."
Rara gave AJ a quick hug. "I'll leave you all to get settled. Come grab me when you're ready to meet the rest of the campers!"
"I call top bunk!" Rara hadn't even left before Glasses made a mad dash for her cabin. The rest of the girls followed her lead.
