Sweetie Belle's P.O.V

I am in the middle of walking down the street, when suddenly Scootaloo and Apple Bloom come running to me. "What is it?" I asked as I wonder what's on their minds.

"Do you remember how many times we ever attempt to get the cutie marks, and we only get nothing? We should go on a mission- but they shouldn't find out. But, if they do, they'll come running for us and possibly ground us- or worse," Apple Bloom replied.

"How can we prevent them from finding out?"

"I think they typically go to bed at nine or ten during nighttime, but Apple Jack checks on me all of the time. That makes me think of a plan. Hmm..."

"Looks like an overprotective sister," Scootaloo said.

"She's like that all the time, okay?" Apple Bloom replied, still seemingly deep in thought.

"Oh! Do you remember reading those books about ponies sneaking out without anypony seeing them?" I said.

"Yeah. We should start our mission tonight. We should get neccessary supplies and such. It will be like a journey," Apple Bloom replied.

"We'd have to sneak out, though," Scootaloo added in.

We smile at each other, feeling sure that our plan will work.

Rarity's P.O.V

The fashion critic is coming next week, and I have to get the dresses done on time. I am feeling a bit nervous but excited at the same time. What if Sweetie Belle makes a mess in the middle of the night, or what if she makes such a huge mess before the critic comes?

Then the critic will look down on me as a result- and I don't want that to happen. I want to be famous as a fashion designer, and I can't have a bad review tarnish my reputation! I finish sewing a very beautiful dress that I have worked hard on. It is made of silk, colored lavender along with tons of lace on the neckline and sleeves.

"It isn't complete without jewelry," I told myself as I use my magic to open one of the dressers containing the jewels.

This dress has to be extremely magnificient, with absolutely no flaws. I use my magic to place the jewels on the table.

Apple Jack's P.O.V

My typical days consist of harvesting apples and such. Sometimes we get zap-apples. The apple festival is coming soon, and some of my relatives are preparing the dishes for the festival. So, that means more apples to be harvested, and more apple trees to be planted.

As I use my legs to pound the tree, Pinkie Pie hops onto the farm, with her usual bubbly and cheerful demeanor always showing. "Hey, Apple Jack! I heard that the festival is coming soon! I can't wait to taste those delicious treats!" She exclaimed.

"I agree, Pinkie Pie. So, is that why you are so excited?" I replied.

"Yes, yes, yes!" She grins even more.

Typical Pinkie Pie, always the one to always get excited about even the most simple things. I smile in reply. "So, what have you been doing lately?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Harvesting apples, that's all." I replied as I use a rag to wipe the sweat off my forehead. Although the air is getting full of Fall's cool breeze, I still sweat when working on the farm.

Twilight Sparkle's P.O.V

I find my new treehouse to be more fancy than the other one. I understand what my purpose as princess is, and ever since I became a princess, some ponies occasionally come to me for help. Ponyville is being peaceful recently after the fight against Tirek.

When I first transformed into an alicorn, I didn't expect to become a princess. Now, I accepted being a princess. I walk to Fluttershy's house, and Fluttershy is outside, talking with the animals. "Hello, Twilight. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine. And you?" I replied.

"I'm good."

Her pet bunny Angel hops in front of Fluttershy. "Angel, what do you need?" Fluttershy asked.

Angel taps her foot on the ground. "Do you want a carrot?" Fluttershy added in.

Angel shakes her head, and hops into the Everfree Forest. "Don't be running off!" Fluttershy shouted, "It's scary in there! A monster could possibly eat you!"

Fluttershy and I run after the bunny.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

Another race is coming up soon, and I have to be really prepared, if I really want to be like one of the Wonderbolts. I fly to the practice area, and then I start practicing. As I whiz past the first obstacle, Pinkie Pie appears in a hot air balloon, smiling.

"Do you want to play any pranks? It'll be very fun," She said.

"The race is coming soon, so I can't play if I have to practice for the race. Tons of pegasi will be there, and I have to win! So will you leave me alone?" I replied.

"Okay. I'll see if anypony else is interested in playing pranks on certain ponies."

Later that evening...

Apple Bloom's P.O.V

Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and I watch as the sun sets. We are in our clubhouse, and we have donned a disguise- I mean, a very convincing disguise that will fool anypony that sees us being out past bedtime.

We walk out of the clubhouse to see if everypony in my house is asleep. We look into the window, and Apple Jack is already sleeping. She must have a very hard day of work today, I assume. We rush downtown, and everypony else is asleep.

"Let's go into Everfree Forest," I told Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Not really! How about we go someplace else- like Manehattan or Appeloosa. Maybe even somplace more dangerous like Froggy Bottom Bog. Or, we can-" Scootaloo said.

"No! If we are gone for too long, then they'll start searching for us," I interrupted.

"I'm just giving suggestions-"

"Quiet! Some ponies that may be nocturnal could suspect something about us," Sweetie Belle said.

I lead them into the Everfree Forest anyways. "Are you feeling scared?" Scootaloo asked, "Because I am a bit scared."

"What are you so scared about? Remember some ghost stories? None of them are even real," I replied as I feel my heartbeat speeding a bit.

We continue deeper into the forest, and I think I hear something rustling in the bushes. Sweetie Belle gasps, and then starts shaking. "I'm not entirely sure about this. A monster may be following us, waiting to jump out at us," She said.
