Chapter 1 - Leaving

A long list of task's and duty's dropped down in front of the three fillies hoofs and their jaws dropped to the floor as they glared at the animals they had to take care of for Fluttershy.
"Now are you girls sure, you can do all this on your own?" Said Fluttershy a bit anxious.
"Don’t worry Fluttershy! Will' take care of your friends, besides you’re only gone for five days.
Fluttershy smiled at them, but they all knew she wasn’t very safe about the idea of the mane six going for a vacation to Canterlot.
"Maybe the hotel have some facilities for pets and such, maybe I could bring some-"
"Fluttershy..." Scootaloo interrupted and looked at her with judging eyes.
"I know, I know..." Said Fluttershy and frowned.
"Oh, maybe if! Maybe..." Said Fluttershy with a sudden smile and a glimpse of hope in her eye.
The three ponies stared at Fluttershy with a slight irritation
"I’m sorry girls, I’m just so nervous. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a vacation without my pets.
"Fluttershy! Why are you taking so long?" The piercing ring of the voice and the sort of British accent, could not be mistaken. It was the elegant unicorn pony, Rarity.
"Come on Fluttershy!" yelled Rarity once again.
"Sorry Rarity, be right there" Fluttershy frowned once again now knowing she had to depart with her friends.
Fluttershy said goodbye to all her pets, then the girls, and then finally left out the door.
Yes, Fluttershy and the gang were going for a vacation to the glamorous and sophisticated capital, Canterlot.
Where in Canterlot? Who knows...?
Why? They wouldn’t tell. Some say its royal matters. Oh though, Twilight did receive a scroll with a red stamp and golden amulet, which is the royal signature.
Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Mr. and Mrs. Cake were all gathered at the Ponyville railroad station, to say goodbye to the ponies going on a vacation. Spike was also there, but not to join them on their journey. Just to say goodbye. He was supposed to take care of Twilight and Rarity's houses and help the girls with the animals and other duties. He was a little disappointed that he couldn’t come with them but he knew he was needed in Ponyville. But he quickly got over it and turned his mind on cleaning Rarity's house, to impress her, of course.
The train slowly disappeared in the horizon and the family's head home, and so were The Cutie Mark Crusaders. They arrived at Fluttershy's house and found out they had forgot all about the list they had left on the table. They then decided to read it.
Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, looked at the list of tasks and sighed in despair.

"Seven pages! We can’t do all of that!" Sweetie Belle said and sighed again.
"Yeah, can’t we just mix together some vegies and place them in a big bowl for all the animals?" Added Scootaloo.
"Come on guys" Applebloom said benignly.
"We promised Fluttershy that we would do it. We have got to show her that we are able to take on a responsibility and take care of her friends..."
The two ponies were against it in the start, but eventually agreed. Besides they had just talked to Fluttershy and promised her that everything was going to be fine, and that they would take care of her pets.
After a long struggle, of getting all of Fluttershy’s requests done. The girls decided to visit Sugar Cube Corner, for an evening treat.
They got a bag of 10 cupcakes and then went back to Sweet Apple Acres. three each for the girls and one for Granny Smith. Granny Smith had agreed to take care of the girls, now where they're sisters were all gone.
