Applejack's ATV really made moving things a lot easier and quicker. It would have taken Rarity and I all day to haul things back and forth on our bikes.

Even Rainbow Dash stopped by to help, though mostly because she was escorting her niece, Scootaloo to see Rarity's sister.

"Another fight with your parents kiddo?" I heard Dash ask as Rarity and I secured things in AJ's trailer.

"Mmm.. I don't wanna talk about it.." Sweetie sulked a bit. "Rarity...why can't you just let me stay at Sunset's while you do this?"

Rarity sighed and walked over to her sister. "Because Sweetie, we need to make sure that you have everything you need to be comfortable for a month. You already packed your new uniforms I hope."

Sweetie nodded sulkily. "uh huh."

"New uniforms? What?" Scootaloo asked as she walked over, carrying a small box of things and passing it to me.

Sweetie was about to answer when Applejack stepped up behind Scootaloo, ruffling the her purple hair. "Keep yer questions in check Scootaloo, ah'm sure Sweetie'll tell ya when she's good an ready too." she chuckled, turning her head down the road. "which should be fairly soon."

We all turned towards what sounded like a lawnmower with the pitch turned way up and saw Applebloom pulling up on a miniature dirt bike.

"Seriously AJ?" Dash asked incredulously. "Who in your family doesn't have a license of some kind?"

Applejack just chuckled. "Come on Rainbow, let's just get back to work. You too Rare."

I watched Rarity nod before giving her sister a quick hug and walking back inside to get some more things. We all gave the girls a berth as we continued working.

By the time we were ready to haul the last load they were huddled in a group hug on the lawn, Sweetie was crying and Applebloom and Scootaloo were trying to fight back tears themselves.

We decided to call Fluttershy to walk the girls to my place with Dash.

"So what is actually going on Rare?" Dash asked as she helped me and Applejack secure Applebloom's bike on the trailer. "I know your folks are in town an all, but what's got your sister all in a tizzy?"

Rarity sighed and glanced at her sister. "Our mom got lucky on the slots at a local casino and decided to use the money to pull Sweetie out of Canterlot and enroll her in Crystal Prep."

"For real? Yeesh.. that really sucks." Dash looked over at Scootaloo. "Man.. It's bad enough she's gonna be without her friends, but the squirt told me that those two girls who've been bullying them are getting transferred there as well."

"Applebloom done told me the same thing." Applejack nodded as she walked around to secure the last strap on my side of the trailer. "Somethin' about their parents bein' upset with their grades or some such. Ah'd have to ask granny, she's the one who does all them meetin's with the Rich's."

"They were gonna be celebrating their freedom from bullying today, so this is a real downer for them." Rainbow added. "Damn, I hope Rarity's sister is tougher than she used to be."

There was a loud thwap sound. "Ow! What the hell AJ? That friggin' hurt!" she grimaced, rubbing the back of her head.

"Good. Maybe it'll finally make it stick in yer gol dang head to stop talking a sentence earlier." I noticed the frown crossing AJ's face was really intense. "Ya'll know just as well as Ah do about how yer niece met Sweetie, so don't you be talkin' like that."

"Should I ask?" I ...well asked.

Dash jumped a little at the sound of my voice.

"Geez Sunset...I forgot you were even here with how quiet you are." She let out a deep breath. "I dunno, that's up to Rarity and Sweetie I guess."

I turned to Applejack and she just shrugged. "Ain't mah place to tell ya. Dash is right, fer once. 's somethin' that really only those two should tell ya."

"Speaking of me being right!" Dash clapped to get our attention before turning to look at me. "Sunset..you wouldn't mind helping AJ and Rar help me study for the license test would you?"

I glanced over at AJ, who was halfway between a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

I shrugged at her and turned back to Dash. "Sure I guess, as long as nothing comes up in the mean time. When and where?"

"Sweet! Tomorrow night, around seven pm, I know about an old abandoned factory where a biker gang used to hangout. We can use the office there." She smirked before walking over to the girls and kneeling down to talk with them.

"Reckon we should get this load to your place then Sugah." AJ stated as she slipped her helmet on and sat on her bike.

I nodded and put my own helmet on, Rarity checked to make sure all the things in AJ's trailer were secure before, nodding and putting her helmet on as well.

We all nodded at each other as Rarity and I sat on our bikes, the sound of three engines mixed into a chaotic cacophony and we rode out of the yard and onto the road, angling towards my house. Next Chapter: Prologue pt 7T: Professionals on the move Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
