Rainbooms Big Break

It was Saturday night and right now Twilight and Fledge were on their second date and unlike their first date no-one was watching them at all. Not their friends or Helena. They're finally given some privacy and were about as alone as they could get. Though Twilight knew even at this moment her dad was on his laptop watching her through her cell's GPS which was slightly annoying but couldn't be helped.

They're at the Canterlot Museum right now and just enjoying the exhibits and just having some alone time. Though it was true while no-one was watching them Helena had dropped them off and be picking them up at a prearranged time. It sucked when neither of you could drive!

Right now they're in the Hall of Gems. There're so many interesting gems and jewels and facts they could see on each display case. Right they're scoping out two different gems that seemed to reflect them in some way. Twilight was looking at a lavender amethyst in one corner and Fledge was scooping out a purple copper ore.

"All these gems would make Rarity go nuts just from how pretty they all are. To just how many dresses for her newest line of "Full Spectrum Fashion" That girl can make any clothes in a snap!"

"I don't doubt if she was on Project Runway she'd not have any problems like the other designers too with either budget or time management. Though if she could impress Tim Gunn or not don't know on that one. But that man is great at his job and they should've just done another Under the Gunn and not gone back to just normal Runway." Fledge commented as they left the Hall of Gems and wandered over to a place that again Rarity feel right at home as it was sorta a history of world fashions.

"Didn't know you watched Project Runway, Fledge."

"My mom really loves it so it's something we watch together. On the other hand she and I agree that sometimes the judges are freaking idiots if they can't see what is really good and what isn't. Also neither of us like the fact winners get to come on All-Stars and like four have won again. So not fair! Give those who haven't won a chance! It's gotta be rigged! Since it was so freakin' obvious that season five should've been won by the Hawaii designer Kini and not that previous winner Dom who had the worst collection! Ugh! Stupid! Gotta be rigged!" he moaned bitterly as they actually were looking at ancient Hawaiian clothes at the moment.

"I'll take your word for it since I've not really watched that show. Fashion isn't something I would watch on TV. Though I do own a DVD special edition copy of "A Beautiful Mind" based on John Nash's life. Such a wonderful and brilliant man with mathematics."

"You really gravitate to the science and math stuff, don't you?"

"Well, I'm a bit of a bookworm and have a brilliant brain of my own. So yeah. Though I'm starting to give what my friends like to watch, read and listen to a chance.

Still at least there is one singer we've all liked from the beginning. Even I've liked her secretly."

"You're talking about Rara aren't you? Since I love her music too. She's real and isn't stuck on a one topic for her songs and she's so normal and yet got one of the best voices out there."

"Yes, I do love Rara's music. Still like I said I'm learning more about each of my new friends' personal likes and dislikes. There is an awful lot of things to know about your friends."

"Well as Helena sang a few times in the shower she sings "We should take some time we should get to know. Let me into your heart and let me lift your soul. So please let me into your life and I'll let you into mine so let's get to know each other one day at a time." She's not that bad a singer but she's not gonna be some singing superstar by any means."

"Hmm. Helena seems like a very interesting woman. Care to tell me more about your family? Also what exhibit do you want to look at next? Should we stick to this part of the museum or head over to the art gallery part?"

"To answer the second question first I say yeah let's go over to the art gallery now as we've seen just about all the stuff in this part of the museum. Might as well see that exhibit of local artists. They've got all kinds of art over there, Paintings, carving, sculptures even photography. So lets' go over there."

So holding hands they made their way over to the art gallery as he was telling her more about Helena to which she listen with great interest.

"Helena is a woman of many talents and has her own great cultural heritage. She's actual of Greek descent. So she speaks Greek flawlessly, though to be honest she can speak quite a few languages. She's a Sagittarius and always had a keen interest in centaurs and is pretty damn talented in archery. She also collects a lot of angels as well. So she's of Greek Orthodox faith and is overall a great and inspiring woman. She also pretty much never treated me like I'm the son of her employers but just as a real friend," Fledge said giving a pretty good description of his only real friend growing up.

"You certainly have quite an interesting family. Based on what you told my parents and brother and me already about your family. You also seemed to be quite an interesting person yourself, Fledge,"

Blushing he smiled and put an arm around her shoulder as they walked into the art gallery and said, "Thanks, Twilight, but I like to think we're all fascinating with many interesting stories of our own to tell. So let's see what is going on over here," as they walked over to some of the most amazing and dreamy paintings they'd ever seen.

The first one they're drawn too really seem to really grab Fledge's attention. It looked like some magical and highly beautiful crystal forest with a golden floating palace in the rainbow colored sky.

"That place looks like something out of a fairytale. Surely some kind of prince or princess would live in that golden enchanted sovereignty. I wonder if there is something like that in Equestira. Think you could ask Sunset?" Fledge questioned as he stood transfixed on the painting.

"I'm sure there is some magical place like this somewhere in the other world of Equestira. Sunset's told me a great deal about the land she came from and she also did tell us remember that there is another you already in Equestira."

"Well it's kinda freaky don't you think?"

"What?"

"That in another world we're both winged unicorns of royalty. I wonder what I'm really like in that other world. Or you're like in that other world."

"I thought you want to get to know me and not someone who may be me in another world but we're still not the same person. I want to know you not just some other version of you who happens to be the only male Alicorn as Sunset calls them."

"Touché, Twilight," he replied with a giggle and she giggled too. Giving a flirty grin and flipping her hair they enjoyed the rest of their night at the museum and enjoyed a quick walk under the moonlight in the park before waiting to be picked up by Helena.

It was getting a bit chilly so he took off his jacket and threw around her and she smiled happily. "You're a true gentleman, Fledge, truly a gentleman."

"My parents made sure I was brought up with proper and good manners. Though that doesn't mean I don't let my room occasionally become a pigsty and do a few unmannerly things."

"I'm sure you do a good job at keeping your room clean enough. Do you even have chores at your house? Speaking of your house what's that like? Where is it? Are you one of those people with all the toys and spoils of being rich? Or do you have some more common and normal things at your place?"

"Why don't you judge that for yourself? You and all your friends? How about all seven of you come over to my place sometime next week? I can clear it with my parents and you can make your own judgment if I'm just a spoiled little rich boy or just your everyday average guy who happens to have a slightly bigger allowance than most."

"Well, that sure would be a great thing to do for all eight of us. You do seem to like to hang out with the seven of us more than most of the students at CHS. Though you've become friends with just about everyone at school and have hung out with them when not with me or my girlfriends."

"I enjoy all the friends at school as everyone at school is friends. So yeah I've hung out since starting at CHS with the other guys and gals. So yeah I've mingled and hung out and had fun. Still something wrong with me wanting to be close with your closet friends?"

"No it's not a problem at all. We all enjoy your company and well if you'd like to have seven girls over to your house that be fine with me and I'm sure everyone else as well. Though don't we all have to get like permission to do that first?"

"I'll let you all know on Monday. Looks like our ride's coming fast. So on a quick scale 1 to 10 how did tonight's date go to you?"

"Let's see educational enlightenment, good two-way conversation, pleasant meteorological conditions and a charismatic, regal and extremely nice young man to keep me company? I'd say that's a ten on a scale of one to ten."

"Thanks, so I guess that means a third date or are we still not an official couple yet till we get to like date five or six? Or whenever we kiss or something? When do we officially become a couple? Not that I'm looking to be called an item right now, but want to know when do you think we'll get to the conformation of being boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"I think we can both agree we delight in each other's company in addition we've a mutual attraction plus have good chemistry. All the same I still think we need a little more time alone together before we really consider ourselves an official couple."

"But you at least want to go on another few dates right?"

"Yes, we can definitely go on a few more dates or just hang out to get to know each other. Though I fail to see how in movies, books and other media when two best friends are a guy and a girl in that cliché of ending up together, how is 'dating' really any different then what they've done for years of 'hanging out?" Can you give me the answer to that?"

"Other than dating you get to lip lock and hold hands? Not much to be honest. But for now we've to behave because our ride is here," he said as Helena pulled up and he opened the car door to let Twilight get in the back.

"You two had a good time I take it?" Helena said as she started to drive to Twilight's home.

"We'd a very good time, Helena. Though I was wondering if it be cool with you if Twilight and her friends came over to our house sometime next week? I'm sure Mom and Dad be cool with it."

"I'm sure all our parents would be cool with it, Helena. Though you'd have to pick us all up and drop us off at home as none of us have even a learner's permit since at CHS you can't get one till your senior year.

Sunset said it had something to do with some kind of event that somehow wound up with the whole east wing destroyed but she said no-one has the full real story or comprehension of how it happened. It's just at CHS students don't learn to drive till they're in their senior year is all."

Well they took Twilight home and Fledge at least made sure to walk her to the door before saying goodnight and got back into the car. Then they went back home and tried to relax the rest of the evening.

The next morning Fledge woke up early and hurried downstairs to talk to his parents about having the girls come over. He knew while Helena would be going to her church for the morning his parents wouldn't. Not they didn't believe in God they just didn't like almost being mandated to go to a special building to worship him on Sunday when you can talk and praise the Lord anywhere on the planet.

You don't need to go to a specific building to do it. That and Fledge couldn't stand being in church as he'd gone crazy as a child when he'd been forced to attend Sunday School and just couldn't take it! There had been one very unpleasant incident that they family didn't bring up anymore of him as a child of how one day of a church services he'd almost demolished the inner sanctum as he was going bonkers in the services that was impossibly long.

So he found his parents eating breakfast in their large kitchen/dining. It looked almost like out of an Ikea commercial how good and modern the kitchen was. Right now his mom was having a nice breakfast of French cinnamon toast glazed with light syrup and some scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage links and a tall glass of orange juice.

His dad had opted for blueberry and strawberry pancakes instead of the toast but everything else was the same. But they're a pleasant breakfast like any normal couple and also had the radio playing some music and just enjoy the sunshine streaming through the sun catchers his mom painted and had all over the house.

"Morning, Mom. Morning, Dad."

"Good morning, Fledge. How did you sleep last night? Did you have any cool dreams to add to your dream journal?" his dad asked him as Fledge sat down and got his own breakfast. He got both the pancakes and toast along with the rest.

"Nothing last night to remember. I know I almost always remember my dreams in the most vivid of details, but I just don't recall last nights."

"Well, Fledge your dreams are so unusual is a good word for them you could probably write a lot of short children stories based on your dreams alone. You've kept a dream journal since you're six years old so you do have them all recorded so you wouldn't forget them. Please pass me a napkin, son," his mom pointed out as he handed her a napkin.

"Well that's probably true, Mom. We all have our hobbies and personal habits. I mean you like doing all kinds of arts and crafts to relax and Dad does his crosswords and also enjoys whittling as a pastime for himself."

"True enough, son. So how did last night second date with Twilight go? You are clearly already enamored with her I can tell that right here and I could even tell that if you're fifty feet away."

"Dad, you know I suck at measurements! I can't tell you the difference between five feet and what is like twenty feet away! But yeah last night second date went well enough. We had a good time at the museum and the walk through the park went well too."

"Well, glad to hear your at least courting this young lady correctly and you two are taking the time to get know each other and not just doing nothing but kissing and funny business you are too young to be doing anyway."

"Mom! I already told Twilight's friend during the Big Help Week at school that I'm not one of those stupid boys who only cares about what a girl can give me in the bedroom!

I know true love is more than just physical attraction. You've to really know the person's heart and soul. Who they're on the inside and learn every part of them. That it can't just be rush in one look one kiss and you're walking down the aisle!

I know real love isn't like a fairytale romance and it's not just think you're in love and go elope either. Love takes time a very long time in fact as you both and Helena have pointed out already. And yes I really like Twilight on the other hand we're still like she said last night far from being an official couple or to even consider ourselves even being boyfriend or girlfriend."

"No need to get worked up, Fledge, every parent gets into their child's business when they get their first taste of love. So don't get too mad at your folks." Helena reminded him as she came into the room looking lovely as ever.

"She speaks the truth, son. So Helena how are you doing today?"

"Very well, Helia. I'm having to get going as there is a bake sale at my church today and I promised to help the church with it. Did you all finish making the baked goods I asked you to make last night?"

"We did make some cupcakes, brownies and also that weird dessert we all saw on "Drop Dead Diva" the pake. Half cake and half pie. We made three of those. Two for your bake sale and one to share later tonight. Should be really great to try tonight." Helia answered her as he got up to help her load up the car with the baked goods.

"Wonderful! Thank you! So is there any other business we need to discuss before I leave for my church bake sale? Hmm?"

"I don't really think so. We don't have anything to worry about our own charity event at the college right now. We worked out yesterday the final details of how to properly advertise it and all the other snags with Sunfire. So I don't think we've a problem at the moment with that charity party."

"Well, you two don't have a work issue right now, Mom, but I've got something I need to ask you and need to know before school tomorrow."

"What's that, Fledge? And kindly fold your napkin properly you left them in a disgusting mess yesterday."

Grumbling a bit he quickly fold his napkin properly and then asked his question, "I was wondering if I could invite Twilight and her friends over one day this week afterschool. So can I?"

His parents blinked in surprise and then his dad replied. "You want seven young girls here? No boys for your first friends over? We're not gonna come back to find you actually threw a party for the whole school and the place is trashed worse than a rock star's hotel room?" he joshed with his son who liked his father's humor most times but not right now.

"No, Dad, you're not gonna come home to that. I know you do have a lot of work at the college getting set up for this Saturday's charity ball. Though I just want to have Twilight and her friends over a good time. If you say yes this one day I may have more kids from school over, but for right now I just want to have Twilight and her girlfriends over. So if it isn't too bad can I have them come over?"

"Well, I don't see what's wrong with you having friends over, Fledge. So they can come over on either Tuesday or Wednesday after they get their own folks permission. On the one condition that Helena is here when they're over."

"Is that more to keep an eye on me? Or because you just don't want something to break, Mom?"

"A bit of both to be honest son. But you do have our permission to have them over for the afternoon, with Helena watching you all. Deal?"

"Deal, Mom."

"Good, now since we'll be having company over soon we should get the place cleaned up. You can start with cleaning up your room and your father and I will do our part to start downstairs and you'll join us when you're done with your room."

"I'll help where I can when I get back from my church, which if I don't leave in like five minutes I'm gonna be late for the bake sale. So see you all around one thirty. Bye!" Helena waved as she excused herself and hurried off to do her own thing.

Well if everyone thought that all rich people do is have someone else do every little thing for them they're wrong. Or if they thought that they used only the most expensive stuff they could buy and all that.

Though for Fledge that day he had to clean his own room just like any other kid and he also did household tasks like any other kid in the world too. He didn't have soft dainty hands because unlike some people who may have a lot of money he really did do things for himself.

The Dreamwings weren't ones to sit on their lazy asses all day and act like they couldn't do anything for themselves. They cleaned their own home, did their own dishes, cooked their own meals and did their own laundry. So Fledge was sure that Twilight and the girls would see that for themselves when they came over.

The next day the girls all met early at the school and just were chatting back and forth by the Wondercolt statue. Just talking about their weekends and what plans they had for the week.

Sunset was telling them more about some of the things she did with her human parents now that she'd finally come clean about her home and family. She also was telling them a lot about her wonderful horse Solar Flare which she'd pretty much raised herself at the stables.

Rarity asked in a teasing manner if that Butch had asked more about Jackie as he called Applejack since they'd been there to which Applejack blushed as red as the apples her family grew.

"Rarity you always one for romance, glamor and gossip aren't you? Well, Butch did want me to pass along his hopes that you'll come to my next serious training session later this week and yes he's looking forward to seeing the pretty Jackie again.

To tell you the truth, Applejack? I've known Butch since first going to the stables and he's always been a hardworking and down-to-earth sorta guy. Though he does have a thing for blonds, I'll say that much."

"Looks like someone might be doing as you say courting soon? Not just Twilight, either," Rarity teased Applejack who just glared at her and slapped her playfully.

"It would be nice to spend some time with an honest and good guy who doesn't mind getting dirty. Not that you like anyone who wasn't clean and well mannered, Rarity!" Applejack shot back as she tossed her ponytail over her shoulder.

"Let's not turn this into a big argument, girls. I'm sure one day each of us will be afflicted with a bad case of puppy love." Fluttershy interjected as she tickled Spike's belly at the same time.

"Well, if that does happen, Fluttershy, I'm only going fall for a totally awesome guy who can keep up with me and is just overall cool!" Rainbow Dash replied with a cocky smile.

"I'd just like a guy who is kind and caring, Rainbow Dash. Not everything has to be based on what standers you hold yourself too. I mean opposite do attract too you know," Fluttershy remind her timidly.

"I would just love a boy who knew how to party and have fun and just be the life of the party! That's the kind of boy I'd like to go out on a date with!" Pinkie Pie stated from the top of the statue where she was sipping a chocolate beverage.

"You so don't need that much sugar and caffeine in you this early in the morning, Pinkie Pie. Though just based on how I've felt on my own two dates, I'd say you just don't know who will spark your fire is all." Twilight remarked thoughtfully as she looked up from her advance algebra textbook.

"I think it's fair to say that the old saying "There is somebody out there for everyone" is true here as it is in Equestria. Though that doesn't mean you do need a significant other to be happy. Being single is just fine and you don't need a boy or girl which ever you prefer to make you happy. There nothing wrong with being alone." Sunset reminded them all kindly.

"Good enough point, Sunset. So anyway since we brought up the subject of boys and dating I've got a question concerning my second date with Fledge."

"Shoot girlfriend. What did you and Fledge do?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Yes do tell us darling. Was there any real romance? You know maybe a kiss?"

"Rarity! For a second time real life isn't some movie or novel. It's not one look and you're hooked and then you kiss and the next thing you know you're buying a wedding dress and living happily ever after. So get that idea of the fairytale romance out of your head already! Please!" Applejack snapped annoyingly at Rarity.

"Well a girl can fantasize can't she?"

"Girls! We don't need to fight over a difference of opinion. Rarity sees things one way and you, Applejack sees them another. So remember you're not gonna change the other's mind so just agree to disagree and no need to turn a simple difference of opinions into World War Three! So please drop it like right now!" Fluttershy stated in a much stronger and assertive tone that the girls looked at here funny.

Well everyone that is but Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was far more occupied with replenishing her party cannon with cupcake scented confetti her sister Maud had given her over the weekend.

The girls all took a collective sigh and agreed to disagree and not force their own opinions and beliefs on someone else and just agree to disagree. And did see no need to do anything to argue over such petty and stupid things.

So turning all eyes on Twilight they asked her to explain what was going on. She just got done explaining that Fledge wanted them all to come over to his house sometime this week when Fledge himself showed up.

"Hey, Twilight! Hello to rest of the Mane Seven. So how are you all doing today? Is everything okay?"

"We're doing fine, Fledge thanks to Fluttershy who just reminds us not to have squabbles over stupid things that don't even matter. So how are you doing?" Sunset inquired as she pulled some of her hair out of her face.

"Well, I hope that Twilight told you what I asked her to ask you all. So I hope you know what I asked her to ask you."

"You mean about you wanting to invite us over to what is sure to be a totally awesome super cool house that's got to cost a lot of megabucks? Sure it be cool and awesome for all of us! We'd all love to kick it and have a good time at your crib. So when the soonest we can come over?" Rainbow Dash said for everyone who all nodded in agreement.

"Well how about Wednesday then? So you can actually tell your parents and I can you know finish getting the house ready? We're cleaning it top to bottom but there still a few things we've got to do to get things ready for guest."

"Whatcha worried about, Fledge? If you're worried we'd break something couldn't you just buy a new one? You've got more than a billion dollars in your bank! It can't be hard to replace things!" Rainbow Dash joshed to which only Fledge frown and looked at her angrily.

"Okay, what did I say or do?"

"Ugh you just list me as a stereotypical rich boy who can buy anything. No-one likes stereotyping or having someone making assumptions about who they are or what they're liked based on some image of media of how people should be or expected to be based on stupid shit.

You may be a very tomboyish girl who's a great athlete. Yet you're not some stupid jock dolt. You actually work hard in both academics and your athletic pursuits. So do you think Applejack would like just based on how she looks she's a hick or that Rarity is just a diva?

The point I'm trying to make, Rainbow Dash, don't make assumptions or stereotype anyone. No-one likes labels or preconceived ideas of how others think they'll be without even taking the time to know someone. Okay?"

"Okay, you're right, Fledge, sorry, I'm sorry I made a very stupid and offensive joke."

"It's alright. So how about you all come over Wednesday then? Just meet me by this statute and Helena and I will take you to my place and she can take you home later. Sound like a plan?"

"Sounds like a perfect plan, Fledge, darling. I can only image what someone like you house be like. Though as you pointed out we shouldn't imagine that you leave in some castle or palace like home with all those stupid rich toys and things people portray rich folks as having. So don't worry, Fledge." Rarity assured him.

He was smiling please and then they all jumped when Pinkie Pie's party cannon went off unexpectedly and covered them in her new confetti.

"Pinkie Pie!" they all exclaimed at once.

"Sorry! I put too much in of Maud's confetti and had to shot off some! But don't you like the scent of freshly baked and ice cupcakes? It smells so good it be nice to go bake about a three dozens of them!" she squealed excitedly.

"Um why did your sister give you the confetti in the first place, Pinkie Pie? Just out of curiosity?" Fledge inquired as he was trying to the stuff out of his hair and Twilight was helping him. Rarity was helping Applejack and Sunset was helping Fluttershy with the same task.

"It was PSSD" or Pie Sisters Swap Day this past weekend! Every year we pick a random day for all of us to spend the day having fun and bond then we exchange gifts to each other. Maud always gets the best gifts and I've been trying to give her one as good as the one she gives me.

I know she said she be happy with anything given with love but I did do something with both love and was the perfect gift. "

"Oh, what was this perfect gift of love you gave her?" Rarity asked curiously.

"Well, I was gonna go to a specialty store to buy a rock pouch for her pet rock Boulder, but the store was closed. So I did the next best thing. I went to the Jo-Ann Fabrics crafts store at the mall and bought things to make a pouch. It wasn't a good looking as the one I was aiming to get her. But she loved it nonetheless. So it was what she wanted and I did give it with love."

"Is that why you asked me for that book on how to sew and to borrow an old sewing machine of mine the other day?" Rarity asked to which Pinkie Pie nodded.

"Well a gift of love is what makes a true gift. A gift most come from the heart and if it does it doesn't matter if a huge bouquet or a single rose. Not if it's high on a shelf or color or whatever. Just want matters from the start is the gift must come from the heart. So that's what you did. Good for you, Pinkie Pie!" Fluttershy said with an applauds that all the girls and Fledge joined in making Pinkie Pie blush as pink as her curly hair.

"Thanks!"

"Welcome, Pinkie. Now we all better get inside the school because if Twilight here is studying advance mathematics we better quickly quiz each other on some math. You getting your pop quiz sense tingling again?" Sunset asked to which Twilight nodded.

"I'm feeling strongly they're be a pop quiz but only in math class. If my feelings right it will be covering algebra, square roots and geometry. So let's all go quickly to the library before class starts to brush up quickly on those subjects so we all pass okay?"

"Lead on Ms. Einstein! With your large brain you should be able to help us all pass a surprise math quiz which isn't exactly my forte. Math like my worst class and I need to pass to stay captain of all the sports teams at CHS. So help me please, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash begged her on her knees to which everyone laughed and hurried inside to do a quick study on those mathematics.

Well the Monday and Tuesday quickly passed by and finally it was Wednesday which was only half a day anyway as the school board had a meeting at one so the kids were out at 11:00 so that gave them more time to hang out at Fledge's home.

He was still more nervous than he was on his first day at CHS as he waited to be picked up and then Helena showed up to bring everyone to his house. He was just hoping this went well and that things just didn't go wrong.

Well the girls were nervous too and they didn't know exactly where they're going. So they went towards the west of town and soon came to a large plot of land that was just a little ways from a very nice cull-da-sac of very big homes. They turned up a twisting road till they went up a small hill and came to a place that was like a small cliff and a forest around them. It was very nice little location that was similar to Batman's manor in terms of location. Though the house was much prettier and more cheerful looking than Wayne Manor in Gotham in all those Batman comic books was portrayed.

They did have to pass through a gate but that was to be expected. When they climbed out the car and took a good look at the house Fledge was very nervous. The house seemed to be a very interesting combo of a few different kinds of homes. There were some elements of a Victorian, a chateau, and a typical manor.

You'd think the combination of those three kinds of house would end up looking silly or stupid or just wrong. On the other hand Sunset felt it was like her father Yin Yang's philosophy on how he lived and viewed life. Take the best of each and make it into your own interpretation and she thought it looked cool, amazing, unique and just really charming.

Walking around the outside of the house they saw a two-story garage. They expected when they went inside to see some really big expensive flashy fast cars like Jaguars, Porsches and Ferraris,

Instead they found the kinda cars that their own parents owned and drove. Nothing that wasn't too expensive that a normal person wouldn't spend an average amount of time paying for. The second floor of the garage was actually kinda of a game room and art studio. One half had some things you find in a game room like a few video games and a pool table. The other side was full of things to do like arts and crafts and things of that nature.

Then then went to the backyard. It had a small greenhouse in the far left end corner. There was a nice pool but it wasn't like it was made to look like something on TV. It was an average nice looking pool and there was also a nice garden with a modest koi fish pond. The large deck and patio looked very cool but still not looking overly flashy or showing off a lot of money. Then they went inside through the sliding glass door.

Well as they did expect the inside of the house was very big, spacious and well decorate. It did give the slight feeling of a hotel but there was still a sense of normal everyday average people. Despite the really nice kitchen and huge living room. But overall by the end of the tour of the whole house inside and out they'd all reached the same conclusion and shared the same opinion.

Basically they all told them in their own way of talking the same thing. That while he was rich, handsome and almost prince like he was really just an average kid and though it was obvious his family was a bit better off than most they didn't flaunt it or go out of their way to show it. They pretty much looked like a normal average family with how they decorated and their taste in that as well.

Though there was one thing everyone agreed was a masterpiece and the very jewel of heaven itself. Something they're not expecting. What they're not expecting was something that had been in Fledge's family for over two hundred years and was still in perfect condition.

In the living room under extreme protection but still looking beautiful was a stain glass window. But not just any window. This one was amazing by what the picture inside it depicted.

The frame design was a beautiful flower that looked like a cross between a lily and orchid wrapped around a golden frame. There was a very detail and intricately designed half sun and half-moon with the east lit up with sunrise and the west with early night fall.

Beneath the half sun and moon was two Alicorns that looked very much like a medieval versions of Celestia and Luna. Their horns touch the point where the half sun and moon touched. Resting on their shoulders were their pets the phoenix Philomena and a bird known as an adarna which put people to sleep.

The ground below them depicted much harmony, beauty, peace, magic, friendship and dreams. All little bits of that found in both Equestira and in normal Earth culture. Somehow something of all the girls' cutie marks had been found a way into this window.

But it was definitely out a dream and somehow showed the Elements of Harmony and still showed the power of dreams. Sunset was beginning to think somehow that this world had a subconscious psychic link to Equestira to which them might just be what they thought was just imagination but was a very small part of Equestria magic entering their dreams and imagination of the humans.

The girls were still admiring the window while Fledge was explaining how it been in his father's side of the family for many generations and was actually made by a family ancestor. He said it was the one thing the family would actually care about if the house was destroyed other than their own lives is that this window remained intact.

It apparently had a very colorful history of its own having survived numerous horrendous and appalling events both known in the school history books and the family's own personal history. Which actually including surviving both an earthquake and a house fire intact as two events the window lived through. He hinted there were many more amazing events connected to this window but wouldn't elaborate to any further extent of what exactly they were.

Nevertheless the girls understood what he said next. That as a result of everything the world and family had been through they wanted that window to remain safe forever.

Therefore when the window which had been passed down in the family for so many years finally passed to his father he went out of his way to ensure the Window of Dreams as they'd come to call it would under no circumstances be in any type of endangerment ever again. Which is why it was behind three inches of bulletproof glass in addition to in a specially-designed frame that was tested to survive just about any natural disaster or accident to the house they could think of. That actually included if the house blew up as well!

Everyone was just staring entranced by the window that they didn't hear a car pull up or hear someone come into the house till they heard a woman's voice sounding frantic who was obviously talking on a cell phone by the sound of it.

"You cannot be serious! The charity ball is this Saturday! We don't have time to reschedule this nor can we if we hope to have what we're aiming to raise money for to be built in time. No I understand that a family member needing a bone marrow transplant is more important than this event. Okay, we'll think of something. Okay talk to you later. Thanks for informing me have a nice day, bye."

The girls then notice who could only be Fledge's parents walk into the living room. Again taken aback a bit that for what they did and what they're worth they're dressed very averagely.

Helia was dressed in jeans and a bluish white shirt and his wife Strawberry's long bronze hair was down her back in a in neat French braid and she was dressed in slightly more expensive clothes, but not like a fur coat and diamonds, rather just a very nice rosy russet colored cashmere shirt and a dark green pencil skirt.

"Well, I guess bad luck had to strike sooner or later! Still I don't know how we're going to fix this in only a few days' time, Helia! Not with everything else we need to do for the charity ball and don't have time to really figure this out!"

"Don't worry so much, my lady, we'll figure this out like we always too. Though I think it be rude if we didn't introduce ourselves to the company in our home?"

"Huh? Oh! Fledge! What are you doing home at one a clock? You didn't skip school did you just to bring these girls here did you?" she asked concerningly.

"No, Mom. We didn't cut class, it was only half a day because of a teacher conference we got out at eleven. Helena and I were just showing Twilight and her friends our humble home. I was finishing the tour with our most prized materialistic possession the Window of Dreams," he explained to his mom in a slightly exasperated tone.

"Sorry, Son. Forgot it was only half a day today. Well allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Strawberry and this is my husband Helia. Nice to meet you all." Strawberry replied politely as she and her husband shook all the girls' hands as Fledge introduce each of them.

"Nice to meet all of you. It's nice to have some company here and it's nice to see that Fledge does have friends. Though it's still surprising he invites seven girls over first and no guys but we get why. Fledge said something the other day that you seven are in his words 'The Source of the Magic that Canterlot High alone really knows" so I'm guessing you've all played some major role in making the school as cool and great as we heard from Principal Celestia it is."

"Well, Mr. Dreamwings there is a lot of magic in this world. Though the Magic of Friendship is more the abundance at CHS. Though we've other magic at the school but the Magic of Friendship is by far the strongest!" Sunset informed him proudly to which all the girls nodded and high five.

This almost caused them to pony up but they managed to suppress it for the moment not wanting to freak Fledge's parents out in their own home. Though Helia seemed to notice the faint sparkly glow while his wife was distracted at the moment by her cell didn't.

"Strawberry be a lady and please put the phone away. We do have guests."

"Sorry, Helia, but we need to figure out this pickle and fast! We cannot cancel the charity event and we really need to think what are we going to do and we don't have much time to figure it out! Since Saturday is only is only three and half days from now! We need to fix this musical pickle and fast! Or the whole event will be ruined."

"Music? Hmm. If you don't mind me asking, Mrs. Dreamwings what kind of musical jam are you folks having?" Rainbow Dash asked with an eager gleam in her pink eyes.

"We're hosting a charity ball at the college my father-in-law founded years ago. Golden Dreamstone this Saturday and we just found out about an hour ago that the band we hired can't make it.

One of the members of the band was just unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant ASAP. So the band is busy trying to find a donor as soon as possible for their band mate which is very important.

However we are without the musical entertainment for the charity ball and without some kind of music I know that we won't raise the funds needed for the building the new addition to the college,"

"Well you're in luck then, Mrs. Dreamwings, because we can help you in this time of crises."

"How so?"

"We're the Rainbooms! We're the most awesome and greatest band at CHS and we've saved the world more than once with our music. Not to brag. So you need some music for this shindig we'll be more than happy to bring you the most awesome greatest tunes to rock the rainbows of your world! Won't we girls?"

Everyone cheered enthusiastically in agreement and for a second time everyone but Twilight barely managed to not pony up. However this time both Fledge's parents notices the magical glow around the girls for a second but thought it was a trick of the light.

"I'm not sure a high school rock band is exactly the kind of music for this kind of an event. It's for charity not someone's Sweet Sixteen."

"MOM! Do you really have another option right now? They're not kidding that they've got the best band at school and it's a very magical and very amazing musical experience they bring! The Rainbooms are beyond awesome and they'll do fine! You wanted a solution? You got one! You're gonna refuse a band the minute you get one just because it's made up of seven sixteen year old girls and not some overpriced classical but bland orchestra?

You're having a charity event at the college. They're roughly the age of the students at the college and I'll guarantee you want the extra checks for the event to build on that special addition to the college? They'll bring it and more! Trust me!"

"Our son has a point, my Lady. We do have a solution here and I've got a feeling these girls will greatly help the party be even better than we've already got planned. So you want out of this pickle or not, Lady?"

"Both your husband and son only speak truth, Strawberry. I've seen these girls magic first hand. So trust me they'll do fine."

Sighing in defeat she nodded. "Alright you have the job. I hope you can do this in a time crunch. You'll be needing passes to the party. Try and dress nice but cool too? How about we go over the details in the kitchen? We do have some snacks if you want some."

So the girls all knew what this meant. They'd gotten their big break and that only as Rarity pointed out meant to other things. One was a trip back to Tecna's mom's beauty salon/boutique for both clothes and getting themselves looking fabulous.

The other thing it meant was besides looking fabulous they needed to really bring the most amazing music they'd just promised.

Sunset pointed out something to the girls as they're driven home that they'd overlooked. The fact all of them except Twilight would pony up the minute they played music and that they'd barely not done it at Fledge's home.

Helena told them as she was driving them all home that she felt that his parents would've yes freaked at first but just found it as amazing and cool as everyone else did and said ponying up was exactly what the party needed anyway.

She admitted that Fledge had told her all about it and also said that Helia did mean it when he said they should try and 'spice things up" at the party.

"I know from Fledge that Pinkie Pie is the party planner in your group, on the other hand I'm sure all seven of you can really improve this mind-numbing black-tie snooze feast and give us something magical and exciting. You all have such colorful personalities and I'm sure you can provide what this party really needs.

Also you've given me a great idea that I know Helia will love and so will Fledge. I'll have Fledge give everyone at school tomorrow invitations to the charity party. We need some other people there then just boring suites and ties."

Well by the next day everyone at CHS was invited to the charity ball at the college that Saturday which of course made everyone else scramble to get ready and all things that go for a party. But like with the fall formal they came together really quickly and the Rainbooms had no problem getting ready for their part at the party.

Though a few hours before the party Sunset was in her bedroom laying on her bed writing in her journal when she was supposed to be getting dressed for the party. Her new outfit her mom had picked out for the party was laying on her computer chair but Sunset was determined to write this letter quickly before the party.

"Dear Princess Twilight and Prince Fledge

I've been busy the last few days myself but still wondering why no-pony given me a jingle from Equestria in a few days. I cannot say a lot of what's going on since I'm supposed to get ready for a party being hosted at Golden Dreamstone College which the campus pretty much fits the description of what you've said your palace looks like Fledge.

We're going to be the musical entertainment and we're told to spice things up. How far the other girls will go to do that I don't know. I'm getting the feeling that Fledge's dad Helia and Helena have a slightly ulterior motive for wanting us to spice it up.

Like how you mentioned that Princess Celestia invited you and our friends, Twilight to the Grand Galloping Gala to liven it up because it's so dull and boring and I thought you might have mention sometime that she did the same thing by inviting Discord to the last one too.

So I'm thinking we're meant to do more than liven it up. I'm more worried about the ponying up. Still what happens will happens. Now I've got to go. My mom is telling me to hurry and get dressed or we'll be late.

I know I'm gonna look hot in this new outfit. Its cooler then what I wore for that dinner with Sci-Twilight's family! See you later! Bye!"

Well what the other girls were wearing was pretty much the same outfits they'd worn to the Fall Formal with a few new accessories. Twilight was even wearing the exact same outfit her other self had worn with just a few minor differences.

Sunset's outfit was hot too as she was in a short strapless bright crimson red dress that had a small train of red and gold behind it. It looked a lot like the outfit that had been in the top three of the first challenge of Season 14 of Project Runway done by a guy named Edmond and that guy had been all about sexing up the girls he dressed.

Well it didn't take the girls long to figure out exactly why Fledge's father and his family's personal assistant had asked them all to find a way to spice up the party. It was way too serious and depressing a bit worse than the Welcoming Crystal Prep party.

It also didn't take the rest of the girls long before they spiced the party up similarly to how their pony selves had done it to the Grand Galloping Gala and just really made the event much more fun and enjoyable.

Between Pinkie Pie and Applejack making the food and decorations better, along with Fluttershy having a lot of furry friends make an appearance as well as Rarity really adding her own style and Rainbow Dash adding the much need attitude to the celebration it was much better off.

Twilight, Sunset and Fledge of course added their own spice of things. Twilight did this by finding a way to actually make talking about school work a fun topic, Fledge did it by showing off his mad dance skills and Sunset did it by doing the human equivalent of a fire spell she had been famous for in Equestira.

Though Strawberry at first looked panic and disapproving she was actually smiling and having a good time when the Rainbooms finally started playing. The songs they really chosen to play their best at that really caused them to pony up was the same song they defeated the Sirens with and their song "Shine like rainbows."

Fledge's parents and some of the other people assumed the girls ponying up was a special effect on Fledge's part. The only one who of course didn't pony up was Twilight who looked visibly frustrated with that as they just really lived up the party.

Still they'd done a great job at the party and the end result mostly thanks to the girls spicing it up and their cool ponying up they'd helped raised triple the amount that was needed to build the addition to the college that the family had wanted to add.

It wasn't till late Sunday morning almost noon actually when Sunset got a reply to her letter. She'd been sleeping way late because of how long the party from the previous night had lasted and actually fell out of bed and hit her head because her journal had unexpectedly woke her up.

Moaning and groaning she opened the book and read the letter and couldn't help but feel she was a bit psychic because what was written in the reply was exactly what she felt was going to happen based on the last letter.

"Dear Sunset Shimmer,

We do apologize deeply for not writing back sooner. However we both we're very busy saving my life from the evil Princess Jadis who trapped me in a small Realm of the Nightmare Woods.

What Twilight means to say we had a bit of a martial spat which started with us arguing over the curtains in the bedroom which somehow lead to a magical duel that blew apart the bedroom with all the others including our new housemate Starlight Glimmer looking at us through a burning smoking hole in the bedroom wall and adjacent bathroom.

So I went upstairs to give us some space to calm down and give us some breathing room. I had no idea that just walking away to give us a chance to cool would have such almost dire consequences.

My friends tried to calm me down but I was crying even more dramatically then even Rarity and actually flooded the castle but I was upset, heartbroken and just not thinking clearly and flew out of the castle.

By the time I calm down though I realized I was in a place I didn't recognize and it was like world you'd only find in your nightmares which turned out to be exactly what it was.

Because Fledge and I had that spat somehow not sure still how that gave our old nemesis Fledge's kingdom's greatest threat the evil diabolical and insane Princess of Nightmares Princes Jadis somehow the enough magical energy to temporary stop being a 'shadow' and try to exact revenge on me for 'stealing' Fledge from her!

While Twilight was trapped in a world of nearly unescapable terrors and horrors the other girls came upstairs to where Helena and I thought a herd of elephants had broken the magical elevator that links our castles.

They told me Twilight was in danger and of course we sprang into action to try and find her and I sensed Jadis's dark magic and managed to get into her small prison she was holding Twilight trying to kill her and with the combined powers of the Magic of Friendship and Power of Dreams along with True Love we defeated Princess Jadis for a second time and she was once more banished to back to the shadows of nightmares and Twilight and I kissed and just made up.

She apologized for saying that I was thinking it was my mission to be Equestria self-help guru and I apologized for saying that her love of books was really ruining our relationship.

We both realize that like with friendship that marriage itself has its own problems to work out and it has to be a compromise and a joint effort and yes also the Elements of Harmony still play a role in marriage as well as friendship.

So we agree we'll have future fights and disagreements however we're not gonna blow apart the castle next time and risk bring Jadis back for a third time.

So I hope you can tell our other selves if we get a bit more serious in your world that all relationships have to be about compromise, listening and just equality and a few other things you need to figure out while you go.

We hope your party last night was a blast.

For now we must take our leave. We're going to go unwind at the Ponyville Spa. Rarity been trying for ages to get Applejack to go there with her but she's been too busy.

Well talk to you later.

Love your friends Princess Twilight and Prince Fledge!"

Laughing she shook her head and just smiled. "Well I was at least right that Twilight and Fledge of Equestria were going to have a fight but hopefully if the Twilight and Fledge of this world ever really commit to each other here they won't have to deal with an insane deadly princess bent on killing Twilight just because some guy told her no. The show "Snapped" on Oxygen proves all too well why women commit the sin of murder is for lust as well as mostly greed. Speaking of which it is Sunday and they do have a marathon of that every weekend.

And since its Sunday they'll have a new "Snapped Killer Couples" tonight at eight! I can look up On Demand last night new episode of "Snapped She Made Me Do It" and see what evil woman of this world forced someone else to do their dirty work! Thank you for Xfinity On Demand! C'mon, Daybreak! I feel like watching some Crime time Weekend! Let's go!" and with that Sunset bolted from her bedroom with her kitten in tow to go get caught up on a show that actually she and her human mother really enjoyed!

Soon mother and daughter and pet where enjoying the show and for a moment the rest of the world was forgotten and who knew what was going to happen next? For now just enjoy the TV!
