At Sweet Apple Acers, the apple family is getting their last of the chores done. Big Mac got his done first so he can work on his project in the barn. Big Mac bought this old car a while back and made a custom hot rod out of it. It was a red ford model-T with an four speed engine that was way too big for the hood, white wall tires and an eight ball on the gear shift. did He really drove it anywhere, except when delivering apples or on formal meetings. Big mac was touching some things up when Applejack walked in. "Big Mac are yah' still working on that darn thing," she asked him. Big Mac replied with a hardy "yep" and continued working on the car. Applejack looked at him. "What?" He asked, "I like driving this car, I worked hard on it." She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Well, me and the girls are going out tonight and hopfuly Twilight ain't too busy" Applejack commented, "Please don't race Rainbow Dash again big brother. Fluttershy would not let go of me the last time that happened." "Yes sis," he replied, "there goes my plans tonight." Applejack snickered a bit before walking out. Big mac just sighed and went back to working on his car. "Ah' guess Ah' can just go cruising around town," he said to him self. Meanwhile at the Cutie Mark Crusader club house, the girls were was talking about their plans for the summer, espeically since they have their cutie marks now. "So girls," Applebloom began, "Wut' can we do today?" "Well the summer dance is in a few weeks," Sweetiebelle suggested, "we could go there." "That might be fun," Applebloom commented. "Oh come on Sweetiebelle" Scootaloo echoed, "the summer dance? Really?" "Come on Scoots, it will be fun," Sweetiebelle insisted, "you don't need to have date if thats what your worried about." "Fine," Scootaloo sighed knowing she has been defeated she might as well go. "Hey Applebloom, doesn't your brother have that car that he is working on," Scootaloo asked. Applebloom was hoping she was wrong about where Scootaloo was going with this and she got a little worried. "Yes," Applebloom answered cautiously. "Spike can you come here please?" Twilight called out. She was finishing some last minute studing before going out tonight. As doing so Spike came into the room. "Yes Twilight?" Spike answered.. "Can you take these books down to the library please?" Twilight asked as she finished the last sentance on her paper. "Okay Twilight," Spike complied and took the stack of books down stairs. She sat back and looked around her. She has been living in the castle for almost a year and has been a princess for a a lot longer. She still remembers the first time she had arived in ponyville like it was yesterday. Twilight just took a deep breath and sighed with a warm smile only to relise that she needed to get ready. Twilight got up and went into the bathroom and got into the shower. "We are gunna be in so much trouble," Applebloom choked, "Big Mac is ganna' be so mad if we mess this up." "Come on Applebloom," Scootaloo chuckled, "where's your sense of adventure?" Scootaloo crawled on the ground towards the car until she bumped into somepony whos none other than, "Big Mac!" Scootaloo gasp. "Wut in tarnation, are you girls up to this time?" He inqueried, Scootaloo was frozen in her tracks. "Where you trying to take the car?" Big Mac asked. Still no answer out of her. "Girls, if you want to ride in my car it you can," He explained. "Really?" Scootaloo asked. "You just can't drive," He added which disapionted Scootaloo. Twilight was fixxing her mane when she looked at the time and to her horror she was late to meet the girls at Sugar Cube Corner. "OH NO!" Twilight shouted, "I late to meet the girls." "No your not Twilight," a voice spoke behind her. Twilight turned aroud and saw spike standing. "That clock is an hour slow." Twilight just blushed. "Oh right. I knew that." Spike just rolled his eyes and walked out. 'What up everpony, it's Djpon3 here bringing the greatest of rock and roll.' The radio blared out music as Rarity was driving to Twilight's castle to pick up Twilight. She was driving her white ford T-bird with purple tail lights, red and white apolstry, and and fuzzy dice. Rarity was whearing a white blouse and a red poodle skirt. As she pulled up her jaw nearly dropped as Twilight looked stunning. Twilight had her mane all curled, she was whearing a red rockabilly swing dress, and was wore make up. "Twilight you look apsolutely marvolous darling," Rarity commented, "those stalions won't keep their eyes off you." "Why thank you Rarity," Twilight replied. "Well we should get going," Rarity sugested, "don't want to keep the other's waiting." And with that Twilight flew over to the other side, hopped in, and the two drove off to Sugar Cube Corner. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie where waiting at Sugar Cube Corner. Since Pinkie got off shift just a half hour ago, she was free for the rest of the night. Rainbow Dash drove a cyan blue 58' Edsel with rainbow lightning bolts on the side and the hood. For Rainbow Dash other than what you would expect, she wore a leather jachet and a white T-shirt under neath. She also greased her mane back. Pinkie was still whearing her uniform. "Where are they?" Complained Rainbow Dash, "they should be here by now." Right on cue, Applejack came around the corner ran up to them. "Sorry I'm late yall," Applejack excamed between breaths, "The family car broke down so ah' had run all the way." Apple jack was wore red plad flannel shirt that looked like the sleaves where ripped off. "It's fine AJ. As long as your here," Rainbow Dash grinned. Soon engough Rarity and Twilight pulled in. "Hey girls are we ready to go?" Rarity asked. "Yeah we are," answered Rainbow Dash. "Hey where's Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "She had something to do back home," Rainbow replied. > Why do fools fall in love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As rock n' roll plays on the radio, the streets of Ponyville where streaming with cars just cruisin' down the roads. The streetlights glissined in the night as the windowfronts and neon signs iluminated the parade of cars. "Woowee," Applejack exclamed, "Ponyville is mighty crowded tonight." "Yeah," agreed Rarity, "look at all of them." "Well it is the begining of summer," explained Twilight. "So what do you girls want to do first," Rainbow Dash asked while consentrating on the road. "Oh. Oh. I know. I know," Pinkie Pie squealed excitedly, "why don't we go to The Hay Burger?" "Okay Hay Burgers it is," Rainbow anounced and just then a cherry red 58' Corvette drove on past them. Dash didn't get a good look at the driver but she swore that he looked like her. Button Mash was with Sweetie Belle and his brother Gibson who was driving them to Sugar Cube Corner in his 58' Chevy Impala. They were looking out the window watching all the cars until Button spotted Big Mac, and two fillies next to him. "Hey Sweetie belle, is that Applebloom?" Button asked. Sweetie Belle took a closer look at the car beside them. "Hey that is Applebloom, and Scootaloo too," Sweetie Belle pointed out as she climbed over Button Mash and rolled down the window. "Hey Applebloom, Scootaloo!" She called, "is that you in there?" The two fillies looked over and was shocked who they saw. "Sweetie Belle?" Applebloom responded, "What are doin' in there?" "I'm going to Sugar Cube Corner with Button Mash," Sweetie Belle answered, "what about you?" Just before Applebloom clould respond, Scootaloo answered first. "We're cruising around town with Big Macintosh," Scootaloo broke in. "Cool," Button Mash commented. The light at the intersection turned red and the two cars stopped. "Are you two goin' on a date?" Applebloom asked "Yeah," Sweetie Belle answered. "Well see yah' later Sweetie Belle. See yah' Button Mash," Applebloom called. "Bye Applebloom," Sweetie Belle called back as Applebloom and Scootaloo rounded the corner. Gibson finaly pulled up to Sugar Cube Corner and dropped the two off. "Thanks Gibson," Button experssed. "Button, are you forgetting something?" Gibson reminded. Button just sighed, pulled out three bits from his pocket and gave it his brother. "Thank you," he taunted. As music played on the speakers at Hay Burgers, the girls were waiting in the car for the waitress to bring their order. Rainbow dash was explaining what she saw in the car earlier. "I swear girls, that stalion looked just like me," she told them, "he had the mane and everthing!" "Are you sure you know what you saw dear?" Rarity asked softly. "To be honest, I don't know exactly what I saw." Just then the waitress came up with their order. "Excuse me, here is your order," the waitress stated. "Thank you," Rainbow Dash replied and started passing them out the orders. "Okay one cherry cola hay burger Jr with fries for Twilight..." Twilight grabbed her oder from Rainbow Dash with a purple glow from her horn. "One Sparke–cola and regular hay burger for—" Rainbow Dash was cut off to find Pinkie to already have the meal in hoof. "One cream soda, one root beer, and one lemonade." Rainbow Dash just sat there and sipped her root beer. "It's just," Rainbow Dash continued, "I feel like I'm going crazy or maby... I don't know." "Are you sure that's what you saw?" Twilight questioned but Rainbow Dash there silent. "Let's take this to go," She finaly spoke. Turing on the ignition Rainbow Dash pulled out and drove off. The mystrious stalion drove down the street. He soon noticing Big Macintosh just ahead and pulled up next him. Big Mac alooked to the side and reconized the rainbow mane stalion. "Hey you look fimilar," Big Mac called out, "do ah' knowyou from some where?" The the stalion anwsered back. "Yeah you do, I'm a freind of your cuosin that is 20 times removed." "You mean Applefritter. Now ah remember, you're... uh... Rainbow Blitz right?" "That's right? Hey Big Mac, are you the one with the fastest car in Ponyville?" "Ah wish but that would be Rainbow Dash, that and the fastest flier." "Well can you tell her I am looking for her?" "Yeah sure what ever you need." "Thank you Big Mac," and with that Rainbow Blitz sped off into the to find Rainbow Dash. Only to leave scootaloo confused. "You guys have a cousin named Applefritter?" Button Mash and Sweetie belle where having milkshakes at Sugar Cube Corner, as usual. The song playing on the speakers reminded Sweetie Belle the time she and the other crusaders gave Big Mac and Cheerily that love potion. They where kinda quite for most of the time until Sweetie Belle broke the silence. "So what are we going to do now?" She spoke. "What do you mean Sweetie Belle?" Button asked. "Well, usually on our dates we go here. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy doing this it just so..." "Predicable?" "Yeah." "Well I guess we could do something different." "Really? Oh thank you Button Mash! But first let's finish our milkshakes first." Button could help but chuckle to him self and smiled. Fluttershy was taking a small drive around town to clear her head, Spike wanted to come along to keep her company. So here they are driving around in her 50' Mercury Coupe Spike looking out the window. Pulling up to a red light, a red 54' Buick pulled up next to them inside the back seat was a beautiful cherry red little dragon with a pink belly. She smiled and waved at Spike which who waved back at her. ‘I love you,’ she spoke inaudibly through the window and Spike rolled down the window. "What did you say?" Spike Called out to her, but the car drove off and disappeared around the corner before she could answer. "Fluttershy turn the corner!" He demanded. "What why?" Fluttershy asked all confused. "I just saw vision. A goddess. You got catch up to her. "Oh come on Spike I just can't spend the night chasing a girl for you." "Oh come on Fluttershy—" "Spike I said no. Don't make me use the stare." Spike, like everypony except Discord, was afraid of the stare and didn't want to intimidate her. So he just gave up on the idea that somepony wants him. Instead Spike looked out of the window wondering what she was doing now and if he'll ever see her again. Fluttershy dropped off Spike on the front steps of the castle and in time too as Rarity dropped off Twilight who looked a little tired from the night out. "Hey Twilight," Spike greeted. "Hey Spike," She yawned, "how was your night Spike?" "It was great. I met a girl." "That's great Spike, my little dragon is growing up. So can I meet her?" That's when he started to get nervous, how can he introduce someone with out even knowing who she is. "Yeah sure Twilight," Spike answered, "I'll introduce you to her at the dance." "That's great Spike," Twilight agreed, "Well I better get to bed. Goodnight Spike." "Goodnight Twilight," Spike replied. Now at least he had enough time to find this mystery girl before the dance. But for now he should get to bed. He had a long day ahead of him tomorrow. Button Mash and Sweetie Belle was out side the Carousel Boutique. The interior was dark and Rarity's T-bird was not out front meaning she was still out on her girl's night out. The street lamps gave a warm glow on the two standing on the side walk. "I had a nice time Button," Sweetie Belle said softly. "Me too," Button added, "see you Later alligator." "After while crocodile," Sweetie Belle returned giving him a kiss and skipped over to the door and went inside. Button Mash still standing there smiled and walked happily back home. As he left, Rarity pulled in and went inside. Rarity was so tired that she went straight to bed.
