Welcome back every pony to the last part of the first episode! Man, am I glad to say that! I mean, I'm really glad to be back and writing these again after so long, and I can't wait to show all of you the other episodes I have planned. And honestly, with season four of MLP finally arriving, the timing couldn't be perfect!

Though that is something that I think I should touch up on real quick. Mainly because, I started this story before Equestria Girls came out. And now that it has, along with the fourth season coming in sooner or later, I'm not sure how my story's gonna hold up. Mainly because of the one main difference between my story and the original MLP. Twilight.

Since the idea of her as an Alicorn is definitely going to come into play in the fourth season, this story might make Twilight come off as different from the original. So for any future references about why Twilight may be acting different compared to the original MLP show, I'm sorry but I can only really go on using Twilight's pre-Alicorn personality/actions.

So with that said, let's move on with the intro! And here with me today is actually some pony, or should I say dragon, I haven't brought in yet. Spike!

*Spike jumps into view, waving in random directions as if he's in front of a cheering crowd*

Uh... dude? They can't really see you. They can only read your actions and what you say.

Spike: Oh, right! Sorry, hehe... Anyway, let's do the top three comments!

Hey that's my...*sighs* Fine. Whatever. Let's get on with-

Spike: Wait! I forgot something! *walks off-screen*

Oh what is it no- what's with the chalkboard?

Spike: Just gonna count how many votes each pony got. Along with a few of the others I asked during the bet.

Oh, alright then. You do that. Anyway, top three comments!

3: Swift Lightning. Hey. You'd be surprised just how hard it is for someone to just sit around and take naps. I mean, I could not take a nap or just sit around lazily all day.

Spike: Well, that's one mark for Blitz. *he says, putting a tally in Blitz's column. Along with one in the Rarity column*

Wait a second, what's the Rarity one for?!

Spike: What? I can't make a bet on who's gonna win the bet?!

Well... Okay, you gotta point there. But I'm watching you.

2: dazza the lucario. You don't have any faith in my plot twists do you? LOL! JK! But in all honesty, yeah I could've done that.

*I turn to Spike, only to see him mark another tally for Rarity*

Hey! Spike, erase that tally!

Spike: Hold on! Sweetie Belle's vote is for Rarity right? So that means another mark for Rarity.

*sighs* Got a point there... *smirks* But that also means that you need to count Scootaloo and Apple Bloom's votes too.

Spike: Ah, dang it! I was hoping you'd forget that. *he said as he marked their votes in for Rainbow Dash and Applejack respectively*

Okay and now... Wait a second, I got an idea. Dino! *Dino runs over towards me and Spike* Please watch Spike to make sure he doesn't try anything else. *Dino nods and glares at Spike, making him lean back a bit*

Perfect.. Now for the number one comment!

1: Mage of Psychics. Well don't forget the episode I made where she actually did a good job standing up against Blitz. And it ended in a tie. In fact, there's even a YouTube video made by TheoryBrony that talks about just how strong Rarity is. Which actually does bring up some good points.

*turns to Spike to see him still a little afraid of Dino* Uh dude... Someone actually voted on Rarity. You're free to put another mark down.

Spike: Huh? Oh, right! *turns around and makes a mark under Rarity* Now just adding the other reviewers tallies. plus yours... *marks down some more before jumping out-of-the-way. Okay! Here's the results!

Blitz: 5

Rarity: 6

RD: 1

AJ: 1

Twilight: 1

Well there you have it! Rarity wins!... WHAT?! Spike, I told you not to cheat on that!

Spike: I didn't! Dino, Pinkie, and Stepony all voted for Rarity too!

What? *looked at Dino, to see he was holding a Rarity flag in one of his claws. Then turned to Stepony, just to see that it was somehow wearing a T-Shirt with a picture of Rarity on it. Finally, I turned behind me to see Pinkie Pie wearing a Rarity hat while glaring at me*

AH! PINKIE!

Pinkie: I told you Zeke, no pony breaks a Pinkie Promise!

*gulps* Uh Dino, Spike? Little help?! *turns to see that they're gone* Oh no... Someone start the chapter for me?...Thanks...

Rainbow Dash's POV

Ugh... AH! Come on, why is this bench is so uncomfortable!

As I laid on one of the benches at the park, I shifted around to try to find a better way to nap on it. Which wasn't fun because I shifted onto a nail that was sticking out a little. This was why I preferred clouds to anything on the ground. I didn't have to worry about something hurting my back when it was all just a fluffy cloud.

But since I wasn't allowed to use my wings, that didn't leave me with anything else. Blitz was using the only cloud in the sky, so that was out. I can't climb onto any decent tree branches that can hold me without climbing, so that was out. And the only way I could even get to my house without flying was if Applejack could try to rope my house so I could climb up, which was not going to happen today no matter what.

So that left this annoying bench. It was noisy in the park, every time I moved I kept hitting the nail, and every pony kept glancing at me as they passed by. Could it get any harder not to just fly away in anger?

"RAINBOW DASH!" I heard suddenly heard a fillies voice call out from right behind me, which made me jump off the bench in shock. Luckily, I didn't fly up on instinct and lose the bet right there.

So when I hit the ground, I grunted in pain from it. Then the same voice gasped. "Sorry! I didn't mean to wake you up!" When I realized who it was, I calmed down and got up.

"It's okay kid, just don't do it again." I told her, knowing that she didn't mean it.

"Okay! Sorry, it's just that Pinkie told us after she gave up the bet that you were in it! So I came to see how much you were winning!" Scoots said, smiling towards me.

"So Pinkie's out huh? Guess that only leaves the others." I said, thinking just how this was going. I looked up to try to find the cloud Blitz was on, and spotted him trying to fall asleep. And doing a bad job of it. He kept moving around, obviously awake. He wasn't going to last much longer, that was for sure.

I then looked around and saw that there was a large group of foals around a stage. And saw Twilight looking around frantically, while levitating a book. She wasn't reading it yet though, so I couldn't count her out. But she kept looking up at it every few seconds, so she was probably gonna give in soon enough.

I turned around to see Applejack, walking towards the park with three really refined looking mares following her. And after one of them said something, the three all laughed while Applejack cringed when they weren't looking. She wasn't gonna make it either.

Finally, there was Rarity walking around in the park, her hair looking like it just came out of a swamp. And I couldn't help but snicker at her, knowing that it was only a matter of time for her to give up.

But even though they all looked like giving up, I couldn't count it as a win for me yet. Mainly because I was getting really tired, and I was not going to get a nap in on the ground. Especially since I'm in the middle of the park.

And that's where I got a plan. If the others are lasting just as long as I was, then maybe I should try to get a leg up in the competition. "Hey Scoot's. Think you're up for helping me win the bet?" I asked, allowed to talk to her about the bet now since she knows.

She smiled, getting an idea of what I was talking about. "You can count on me Rainbow Dash! I won't let you down!" Scootaloo said, flapping her wings as much as she could in joy. Which only led to her getting about a foot off the ground. But at least she got a little higher off the ground than last time I saw her try.

"I knew I could count on you kid! And don't worry, I have the perfect plan." I said with confidence. I wasn't gonna lose this bet and that was it. Because I wasn't about to just sit down and accept being called a slacker!

Rarity's POV

Oh, this is getting worse by the second! The mud in my mane has hardened. And what bits of the mud that were still wet were dripping onto the back of my neck. Could it get any worse?! "BLOOP!" Oh perfect!

I looked down and saw that I accidentally stepped in an un-usually deep mud puddle. One so deep, it went up to my front right knee! Which was now a filthy brown thanks to even more mud!

Why is it so muddy today anyway?! It was barely raining at all yesterday, and today there wasn't a rain cloud in the sky! So why the mud?!

"Oh hey Rarity, what's up?" I heard a voice call from up ahead. When I looked up, I saw that it was none other than Rainbow Dash. Who, to my disappointment, was still walking and not flying. So that meant that she was still in the bet.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash. Well I'm doing..." I paused, not really sure how to respond since I was about to lose it with the amount of fresh and dry mud that was all over me. But I tried to find a good thing about the mud and put on a fake grin. "Just fine. Yes, quite so in fact. I mean, once you get past the... ickyness of the mud, it's just like a mud bath." I was trying so hard not to give up right on the spot. And it wasn't easy, that's for sure.

"Really? That so?" Rainbow asked, clearly trying to hold back some giggling. That's when I found out just what she was up to. She was trying to make me give up! Well two could play at that game!

"Yes, it is. It even reminds me a little of the spa. But what about you? Have you found an outlet for flying to 'keep your head in the game' as you would say?" I asked her, trying to turn the tables against her.

"Oh you could say that..." She said with a smirk. Then she flicked her left ear twice, taking a step back from me. I simply rose an eyebrow at her, wondering what she was doing.

Her smirk faltered a little though, as she flicked her left ear twice again. And when nothing happened for a second time, she glanced up a little and flicked her ear twice more. Making me a little concerned.

"Are you alright Rainbow Dash? Your ear seems a bit... Out of sorts..." I said, not really sure what to say. Was her ear itchy, was it a slight illness, a nervous tick of some sort, what was happening?

"Oh it's perfectly fine." She said as her ear started flicking in a ridiculous manner, while looking above me. Like she was staring at something.

Confused as to what she was looking at, I started to glance up myself. But as I did, I heard running coming from right behind me. So I turned and saw none other than Sweetie Belle.

"Rarity, it's a trap!" Sweetie Belle screamed out at me.

"What?" I asked, confused. I looked up and saw a large mound of soil falling towards me. But before one speck of it could even touch me, Sweetie Belle tackled me out-of-the-way, getting covered in the filthy potting soil from above.

After I got up and saw Sweetie covered in the dirt, I gasped in horror. I glanced up and saw that there was Berry Punch in the window with a, now broken, box for flowers that was empty of all soil. She had an apologetic look on her face, so at least I know she didn't do it on purpose.

So I then looked back to Sweetie Belle, who was still in the pile of soil. I used my magic to pick her up and place her on my back. "Don't worry Sweetie, we'll get you to the boutique so you can get all cleaned up." I told her, now only focused on getting her cleaned up.

"But Rarity, what about the bet?" Sweetie Belle asked me. How she found out about that, I have no idea. But, it didn't really matter though.

"Oh that silly little contest isn't as important as this. Now come on, let's go home so you can get cleaned up." I said, taking Sweetie Belle home. It was the least I could do for my dear sister after all since she saved me from having all the soil dumped on me.

---

Rainbow's POV

Wow, it worked better than I thought it would!

"Rainbow Dash, did it work?!" Scootaloo asked as she came out from inside Berry Punch's house. I had her ask to go inside so she could make her way to the top floor and dump some of the potting soil on Rarity to make her give in.

"Yeah, it worked alright! But, why'd you dump the whole flower box worth of dirt? I told you only a hoof-full would do." I told her, wondering just what she was thinking.

"Oh well, I messed up and dumped the whole thing out by accident. Sorry." She apologized, feeling bad for messing up.

"Hey, it's all good kid. It was just a bunch of dirt. No pony got hurt anyway. Now that only leaves Applejack, Twilight and Blitz." I looked up in the air to try to find Blitz, ready to try to think up a plan to make him lose the bet. Only, I couldn't find the cloud he was on. Or him for that matter.

"Well anyway, thanks for the help Scoots, but I think I can take it from here." I told her, not wanting to make her have to help me more than she had to.

"Not a problem Rainbow Dash. If you need anything else, I'd be glad to help!" She said. Well if she's willing to help then- "Wait! I just remembered! If Sweetie Belle was trying to help Rarity, than Apple Bloom's probably helping Applejack! I gotta stop her! Good luck Rainbow Dash! Not that you'll need it of course!" Scootaloo said as she jumped on her scooter and took off to try to find Apple Bloom.

Well, so much for asking for her help. Oh well, I'm sure I can take it from here. Now all I gotta do is beat Blitz. And I know just how I'm gonna do it.

---

Applejack's POV

I swear, if these three Manehatten ponies insult one more thing about Ponyville, I'm not sure if I can keep it together much more after that.

After showing them all around Ponyville, trying to show them all of Rarity's favorite spots or any place that I just thought looked fancy, I was trying so hard to keep up the act. I had almost lost it when they saw and immediately insulted Rainbow Dash sleeping on a bench, or about Blitz just lazing around on the only cloud in the sky.

And I had especially wanted to just throw them down the well after they saw and made fun of Fluttershy. When we were not ten feet away where she heard every petty insult! She even ran home right after hearing the last few, not wanting to be near them any longer! And when she spotted me with them, I just felt horrible for it.

At this point though, it wasn't about trying to win the bet. I honestly couldn't care less about that any more. No, it was about trying to be the better pony. And just stopping the charade of being all fancy and going home wasn't gonna help me do that. So for now, I was stuck having to do this.

"Alright now girls, finally there's my," I gagged a little when they weren't looking. Completely sick that I was about to say this. "favorite place in all of Ponyville. The spa." I can not believe I just said that. Maybe Twilight has a short-term amnesia spell she can use after all of this is over.

The leader of the three gasped in delight, over-joyed about coming here. "Oh finally! I was beginning to think that this dreadful town didn't even have a spa! Oh, I wonder if they have time for the four of us to have a spa treatment right now!"

Oh. Celestia. No. I had to think of a way out of this before it was too late! "Well uh... As surprising as it might seem, they do not... Have time for visitors without appointments! So yes, I am so sorry." I managed to lie. Great, lying and saying that I love the spa? I'm tempted to go in there just to get a bar a soap for my mouth.

The two of them then frowned in despair, now extremely sad. "Oh, that's not good at all. We were so hoping that we'd be able to get an appointment while we visited today..." Said the leader of the two. Wait. Two?

"Hey girls!" We all turned to see that the missing pony of the three had come outside. Oh please don't tell me that she- "They said that they can just fit us in right now since some pony named Rarity never came for her appointment! Come on!" She ran back in, followed by the other two running in. And to my 'delight', they literally dragged me in as well.

I don't know how long I can last. I really don't. Some pony help me.

---

"Wow, that Rarity is very generous! I can't believe that she told the spa that if she missed her appointment, whomever was there at the time could have hers! Not only that, but she spares no expense!" The leader of the three said as she and the other two came out of the spa, looking even more pampered than before. If that was even possible.

"Yes, no kidding." I said with very little enthusiasm as I came out, looking just as pampered as them. And to make it worse, all their high society gossip made me cringe nearly every second I was in there.

"But I have to say, even the spa isn't very appealing." The leader of the three said, now not looking amused at all. Oh, you have got to be pulling my leg!

"I know!" One of the others said. "I mean, don't they know what comfort is?! Those massage tables were more uncomfortable than sitting under a tree!" She finished. Oh she had to compare it to that of all things, didn't she?

"And don't get me started on the beauticians in there. I mean come on, who do those two think they are wearing that color eye liner?! They live in such a rustic and dirty town, yet they try so hard to seem like they're actually some pony with actual manners. Who do those two think they are anyhow?" The third one said. That final statement made them all start laughing at the two spa ponies inside, as well as the whole town!

"It's alright AJ, just be the better and ignore it..." I mumbled to myself, not wanting to make any of their insults about ponies raised in Ponyville seem true.

"Applejack, there you are!" I heard another familiar voice call out. One I knew all to well.

"Oh no, Apple Bloom..." I said quiet enough so the three wouldn't hear. I did not want her to be around here right now. Not with these three rude ponies talking down about everything they laid their eyes on.

But it was too late as Apple Bloom came down from the hill in front of us, making it very easy for the three to see. Which they did.

"Oh now who's this little filly?" The main one asked, sounding like she didn't want to be anywhere near Apple Bloom. And I already saw where this was going.

But what I didn't see coming was what happened to Apple Bloom. She was in such a hurry to get over to us that she tripped and rolled down the hill like a ball. And when she reached the bottom, her head collided with a nearby apple tree, making a few apples hit her head to add onto it all.

And what did those three rude ponies do? They started laughing at her! Without any care of Apple Bloom's well-being, they just up and laughed right at her! Making her frown a little in embarrassment.

And that's what finally did it in for me. I couldn't just sit by as they laughed at my little sister! Even if Apple Bloom wasn't my sister, I wouldn't just sit by and let it happen! This isn't high mannered at all! If anything, this is even worse mannered than anything else I know! And I wasn't gonna stand for it any longer!

"ALRIGHT! That's enough sass outta y'all" I yelled out in my original accent. And boy-howdy was it good to talk like this again!

The three immediately stopped laughing and gasped in horror at what my real voice sounded like. "Applejack, what happened to your voice?!" The leader asked.

"Nothin' happened ta my voice! In fact, it's never! Been! Better!" I corrected them as I got my hair out of that fancy bun shape and back to my usual ponytail, along with pulling out my hat and putting it on my head where it belongs.

"What is that dreadful-"

"Oh, don't even start talking down ta me! Y'all have been makin' fun a Ponyville an all the folks in it, while I've just been guidin' ya around like a heard a lost cattle! I tried ta see where y'all were comin from, I really did, but yer just a bunch a rude, stuck-up ponies with no regard fer others! And I put up with it all 'cause I thought that if I just acted as the bigger pony, I could make ya see that Ponyville wasn't as bad as you thought!" I yelled at them, walking towards them. I also took out a rag from my pocket and wiped away all that make-up that was on my face, annoyed with it before it even got there.

They started taking steps away from me as I started coming towards them, now afraid by my sudden change from refined to country.

"I stayed quiet when ya made fun a Sugarcube Corner and its 'childish décor', when ya saw my friend Rainbow Dash nappin' on a bench and called her 'Park Hobo Trash', and even when ya made fun a Fluttershy so much ya sent her home cryin'! But when you just start laughin' at some little fillies pain for no reason what so ever, especially my sister, y'all crossed the line!" I finished, yelling every word with my normal country accent.

And after giving them my two cents and then some, I hurried over to Apple Bloom to check on her. "Apple Bloom, you okay?" I asked, picking her up from the ground.

"Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine! Thanks Applejack. Sorry you lost the bet cause a me." She said with a sad frown on her face.

I only hugged her, a huge grin on mine. "Apple Bloom, I couldn't care less about that silly old bet. If anythin', I should be thankin' you fer makin' me realize that tryin' ta be the bigger pony ain't always the best thing ta do if it's lettin' rude ponies like them get away with hurtin' yer friends. Now come on, let's go find the others so we can tell em were outta the bet... And before their make-up starts runnin." I told her, whispering that last sentence so the three of them couldn't hear it.

But it didn't matter as they had already seen what they did wrong and began to tear up, their make-up running.

And as we were heading back to the farm for the day, Apple Bloom spoke up again. "Ya know, you really look good in the dress. Maybe you should think about wearin' stuff like this everyday."

I laughed at what she said before shaking my head. "Apple Bloom, that tree must' a hit you harder than I thought." We both then started laughing as we kept on walking, just fine with losing the bet for today.

Blitz's POV

Okay, I'm about ready to lose it on this cloud! It's been floating around and has started turning into fog thanks to me rolling around on it, trying to get to sleep. Which was pointless!

At this rate, I'm never gonna win the bet! There's gotta be some way to do this though. Sitting around isn't gonna help. Especially because with Rainbow Dash just sleeping on a bench, I'm not gonna last longer than her. But I still need to prove that I am not a workaholic. So what does that leave me with...

I quickly flew up in the air to see how the others were doing so I would know just what I had left to work on. Only, I saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle leaving the Boutique, completely cleaned. Also I saw AJ and Apple Bloom heading off in some random direction, Applejack no longer wearing her dress or make-up. So that meant that they were out.

And since I saw Pinkie Pie selling cookies a while ago, I guess that only left me, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight. Twilight I didn't think had much of a chance, so that just left Rainbow Dash. Wherever she was because I didn't see her on the bench anymore.

"CRASH!" What in Equestria was that?!

I turned towards the sound and saw that it came from somewhere near the lake. Without even thinking twice, I flew there as fast as I could to try to see what it was. And what it was, I almost wanted to just stop and facehoof at.

Rainbow Dash was standing on a wobbling and unstable, lousy platform. It went up at least thirty feet, and was leaned up against a tree for support. Though with how messed up it looked, cracked wood and all, even that lazy excuse for support wasn't gonna hold it.

"Rainbow Dash, are you insane?!" I asked her, flying up next to where she was. Even though she could very easily just fly off the thing, she was just standing on the top like an idiot.

"No! I'm just uh... Admiring my platform! Yeah!" She said, trying to sound like nothing was wrong. But that was just pointless because even she knew that this thing was gonna topple over with her on it.

"Rainbow, that platform's gonna break apart any second. The support beams aren't secure. You didn't build any foundation to keep the platform in place. And the only thing that's keeping this thing from being blown over is a few tree branches from the tree tied around the bottom. Just get off that thing." I said calmly, knowing that this wasn't anything to really over react to.

"You'd want me to just fly off, don't you? That way you can just win the bet!" She accused me, acting as if I was commanding her to get off. As she said it though, a piece of extra wood came off the platform and crashed into the tree, making the branches that were holding the platform snap off.

"I don't even care about the bet anymore! Just get off this thing, it's gonna fall over!" I told her, trying to get her off the death trap.

"Well if you think it's gonna fall over so much, then why not use that pile of wood and tools to fix it?!" She said, pointing to a pile of lumber with hammer and nails conveniently placed next to it.

I sighed in annoyance and flew over to the pile. But as soon as I picked up a hammer, I realized just what was going on. She built the platform as badly as possible, then left a bunch of tools for me to fix it just so she could win!

"Really Rainbow Dash? All this just to try to win the bet?" I asked, turning towards her. Again, it wasn't really a big deal cause she could just fly off it. But it was still a stupid stunt.

"Pfft, yeah right! I only built this because I knew that I could build anything better than you could!" She said, trying to egg me on. And it was more annoying then it was infuriating.

"Rainbow, I could build a better platform then this in my sleep. Now will you get out of there? It's gonna topple over in a few seconds." I said calmly, not really caring if it fell over because there was no pony anywhere else near here. It was completely safe.

But as I thought that, I could hear some leaves rustling and some sticks breaking when something landed on it. And with each second, the noise got closer. I turned around to see just what it was.

And with perfect timing, a familiar orange filly came bursting out of the bushes on her scooter, and towards the already swaying platform.

She gasped, just now able to see the platform since all the trees and bushes were in the way. She turned to the side, trying to stop her scooter from colliding into it, but she was too late as she collided with the platform. This making some pieces come loose and fall off. One falling towards her!

I quickly stepped up and flew over to where she was. I then front flipped in mid-air above her, making my tail cut through the wood and make it land beside Scootaloo. I then flew her and her scooter away from the death trap, now leaving only one Pegasus near it.

"Rainbow Dash, get outta there! It's gonna collapse!" I yelled out as I looked up to her.

She realized by this point that this was definitely not worth the bet and came to her senses, trying to fly off. But when she tried, she fell right back down onto the platform, making one of the, not so supportful, support beams fall off and into the lake.

"My tail's stuck!" She yelled out, trying to pull it out by force.

I grunted at all the bad luck and flew over towards the tools, getting some wood and nails. And before the platform could actually fall over, I wedged the pieces of wood between the ground and platform, nailing it in so it could be a decent enough foundation. But it would only keep it from falling over, not keeping the top from caving in.

So I quickly flew up to the top and wedged my tail in between the two planks of wood Rainbow was caught on, moving them apart just enough so she could get her tail out and fly away. And right as she was out and flew away, me following right behind, the top of the platform caved in. But with the wood I put in place it all stayed in one pile, so it didn't hit anything or any pony.

After we landed next to Scootaloo, we all sighed in relief that it was over. "Well, I'm glad that's over." I said out loud, talking about the platform and the bet. Because honestly, it was getting really hard to just sit around or do something completely useless.

"Yeah, no kidding. Not being allowed to fly was kind of getting on my last nerves." Rainbow Dash admitted.

"Any pony here?!" The three of us turned to see AJ, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Sweetie Belle, and AB come up the path that lead to the lake. They all stopped in front of us as Applejack spoke up. "You three okay?! What happened?!" She asked, all four of them looked right at us.

"Oh just the usual." I said, speaking up. "Some pony was in trouble, some pony else helped, some stuff got destroyed, and it was obviously a happy ending where no pony got hurt even though it could've ended badly." I summarized, not really being detailed about what position each of us were in.

"Oh, well that's a relief! But it would've been a great plot twist though!" Pinkie said, smiling.

"Wait, what do you mean-" When I realized just who I was questioning, I shock my head. "Never mind."

"So anyway, who won?" Apple Bloom asked both me and Rainbow.

"What?" I asked, both of confused.

"Who won the bet?" She asked again, all of them looking curious. It made sense why they were though. I mean, the giant pile of rubble behind us didn't really clear anything up for them. If anything, it only made it more interesting and confusing for them.

"Oh, well, that's easy!" Rainbow Dash told them.

"Yeah!" I agreed. They all leaned in, wanting to hear the answer.

"I did!" We both said in unison. That made all of them sigh in disappointment, and us turn towards the other in surprise.

"Oh, here we go..." Applejack mumbled, knowing what was coming.

"What do you mean, you won?!" Rainbow asked me.

"Don't you remember? Before I fixed your piece of garbage platform, you tried to fly off of it." I explained to her.

"Okay I'll admit. The thing I built wasn't any good. But I did not fly! My back legs were on the wood the whole time! So I didn't fly until I got out!" She defended.

"No you didn't! You jumped in the air to try to fly off! So you definitely flew in the air at least for a second!" I retorted.

"Two things! One! I started to jump but with my tail stuck, only the front of me got in the air! Two! Even if I did jump in the air, that would be it! It's not flying, that's just jumping up in the air!" She tried to come back.

She then turned to Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, you were here the whole time! Tell him that I started flying after he lost the bet!" She said to her, knowing that she'd know who was right.

Speaking of Scootaloo, she had stayed quiet this whole time. not even interested or taking sides about who lost first. She even had a look of slight sadness.

And seeing that, I figured it meant that her role model Rainbow Dash lost. So I waited for her to say my name, smiling on the inside.

"Well actually..." Scootaloo started, every pony else leaning in a little. Anxious to hear the answer. "Neither of you guys won!" She said quickly, not really liking the answer herself.

We both opened our mouths to respond happily to the answer, but we stopped ourselves before we said anything stupid.

"Wait, what do you mean neither of us won?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused. "If neither of us won, then who did?"

"Well that's what I came over to tell you. After seeing that Applejack lost the bet, I rode here to find you. But as I did, I saw some pony on the way." She explained.

"Who?" Rainbow asked.

Twilight's POV

"Excuse me, is this your book?! No?! Okay, sorry!"

"Hi, is this yours?! Not you either?! Sorry to bother you!"

"Hey there! Is this you-OW!"

After asking nearly every unicorn here if this was their magic journal, I was getting exhausted. And the last filly fired a small magical blast at me when I accidentally surprised her, then ran away from me! This showing me how annoying this was starting to get.

"Ugh! I'm never gonna find out whose book this belongs to!" I said to myself, getting really angry about how badly I was doing about this whole mess. I've probably asked every pony here, even the parents if this book was theirs. All of which the answer was no!

Still, there had to be some pony in here I hadn't asked yet. Some pony who was very worried that they might've forgotten their spells and needed their journal! Only, they were missing it! Could this get any harder?!

"Attention every pony." The mayor started saying at the middle of the stage. "Will every pony come up to the stage so we may begin the tournament?"

"NO!" I yelled out, dropping the book. Every pony turning towards me in confusion or surprise by my sudden outburst. I noticed this and blushed a little at the embarrassment. "Hehe... Dropped the book on my hoof... Sorry." I said, picking the book back up and trotting away at a quick pace. Luckily, they all ignored it and continued on.

"Ugh! This is killing me! I can't even find out whose journal this is!" I said to myself as I kept walking away. If any pony from there was missing their book, they sure weren't missing it.

"Hey Twilight!" I looked up to see Applejack coming over, followed by every pony else and the CMC. "How's it goin?" She asked.

"Horrible!" I yelled out, catching most of them off guard. "I've been trying to find out just whose book this is all day, but since the bet implies that I can't read anything all day, I've had the worst luck!" I finished.

"Well here's some good news," Blitz started. "we all lost!" He said, not really sounding like it was a problem.

"What?!" I asked, surprised that they all lost at around only three hours. "So that means that-"

"Yes Twilight. You win. Congratulations." Rarity said with a smile.

"And that means that we need to give you a Congratulations Party! And don't worry, I'll let you eat the plaque!" Pinkie said to me. Though it just left me slightly confused.

But it really didn't matter though because I had something else I could now focus on. Finding out who this book belongs to!

I quickly levitated the book in front of me and opened it to the front, where the name would most likely be.

But as I saw the name, my jaw dropped at what was in it. "W...W-wha..." I stammered.

"What is it? Is it some pony important?" Rarity asked, curious as to what it was.

I simply turned the book around so they could see it, Blitz taking the book and reading it aloud for them all.

"Advanced Spells. If found, please return to-" I could tell that Blitz was trying to keep from laughing as he finished the last part. "Twilight Sparkle."

At that moment, they all broke into laughter. Not at me though, just the irony of it all.

And I couldn't help but join them in laughing about it. I mean, I really should've seen it coming with my Cutie Mark on the front of the book. Oh well, at least it was all over now, and the whole thing was behind us. And most importantly, we all learned a great lesson today. That are faults aren't something to be ashamed of, but instead they're what make us who we are.

Hehe, and honestly I could really go for reading a good book right now.

And so ends the first of many episodes of my second season! I really hope that you'll all enjoyed the episode, and I hope that you'll all see the next one when I post it!

And also, I had one question to ask you guess. And it's not the QotC really, just a question I've been thinking of since I the very first episode I made.

Should I make a letter to Celestia thing at the end of each episode like the actual show? I haven't been able to come to a decision on that, mainly because it's a cheesy concept but a nice one at that. But still, I can't decide. So if all of you could tell me whether or not I should do those for each one, please review on that along with the QotC.

Thanks every pony! Anyway, until next episode, goodbye for now!

QotC: What's one fault of yours that you aren't really ashamed of? (Example: My main two faults are clumsiness, and bad spelling)

[Thank Celestia for Spell Check! XD]
