Chapter 2: The Train Ride
Previous Chapter"Bye, Spike,"
Twilight Sparkle levitated six train tickets and handed one to each of her friends, and of course, herself. Spike put his hand on his head in respect. "You have my word," He said.

"Miss Twilight Sparkle, is it?"
A train pony took Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity's tickets."You have a good time," Said the train stallion as the ponies got on the train. "Ooh! This will be fun!" Said Pinkie, hopeful of the train starting to move.
"Pinkie, we've been on trains... what, a thousand times?" Said Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy stared into the distance through the window. "I hope we see wildlife," Said she, flapping her wings. Rarity made a weird look at her. "...animals? I hope to see celebrities!" She said, eyes sparkling.
The train slowly started to move. "Stop fightin', now," Applejack started. "Let's just enjoy the ride."
Fluttershy peered out. "...pretty..." She breathed. Pinkie Pie stuck her head out of the window like a dog. Rainbow Dash, however, just crossed her arms. "Too slow," She huffed.
Applejack looked over to the teal earth pony. "Well, if we went to fast, we'd just be there before the Princess has even le-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT!" The train started bolting like thunder. "WEEEE!" Pinkie Pie sang as her tongue flapped in the wind. Fluttershy covered her head, and you could hear a light, "Make it stop!"
Rarity's mane got frizzled when the wind came in the train. "My mane!" And Rainbow Dash... was gone.
Twilight Sparkle levitated her window up and looked out. The rainbow-maned filly was pulling the train. The two other ponies, who had been pulling the train, were being dragged. The purple unicorn levitated Rainbow Dash away from the train.
"Hey! Put me down!"
"I can do that," Mentioned Twilight Sparkle as she dropped her back in the train from the emergency exit.

"Look! Right there!" Pinkie Pie pointed at the castle as the train came to a stop.
"Stopping at Canterlot train stations. Thank you for riding with us." Sounded a deep voice from the intercom.
Rainbow Dash sighed. "Finally..."
All Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Applejack (and not Pinkie Pie) looked over at her with disapproval.
They all exited the train-- well, Rainbow Dash dashed out of the train. A royal guard welcomed everypony who came off. Another royal guard walked up to them when he saw Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack come off. "Follow me," The deep voice said.
He led them to the princess's castle. He showed them around.
