A while after Twilight got bitchsmacked by Jen fell down the stairs, Jen and I headed out to see about settling her score with Rarity. The town had cleared up a good deal after the Pinkie Pie clones had been dealt with, so it was an easy walk through town, with a  few of the ponies exiting their shelters and cautiously looking around. In a couple of minutes we made it over to Carousel Boutique. We entered the door and heard Rarity calling out upon hearing the bell above the door.

"Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique, and magnifi- Oh. Well hello again you two."

She smirked slightly at Jen.

"Here to try and settle out 'challenge'?"

Jen nodded.

"Let's do this."

The two of them took a short while before they began to gather up facsimiles of what Jen used back at the castle, and both of them had agreed that they would give it their best. While they both prepared Twilight had shown up and apologized for going crazy, and I told her it was okay. If magic had started mucking up things back home I probably would've acted similarly. Along with her Spike and Pinkie had shown up, the former cheering for Rarity and the latter just cheering in general. I snickered internally as the rest of the mane six showed up after Pinkie had decided to get them to watch as well. After a moment I officiated the event.

"Alright you two, I want to see some good, honest weaving out there. No cheats and no blows about the belt. Three... Two... One.... Weave!"

The two went to it, examining the materials and formulating their own plans. Of those in attendance, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash had made themselves unofficial judges for quality, efficiency, and awesomeness respectively. Though Pinkie had pretty much Fluttershy into it, since she seemed to be scared of Jen for some reason. She shuddered whenever she looked at Jen, too. Hmm, I'd have to look into that later. I watched the two of them go into their work, and after a short while Pinkie yelled out.

"Time! Show us whatcha made!"

They both had ended up with different results, both seeming to have different intentions in their result. Rarity's pants resembled something more akin to part of a formal outfitting, and Jen's resembled a pair of jeans . Applejack voiced her opinions first.

"Hmm. Well ya both put effort in, and that shows. Rares, yours is definitely somethin' that'd fit in well at a fancy gathering. But Jen's has the look of something that could take a day of work without being worn an' torn too badly. For efficiency I'm gonna have to go for Jen with my vote."

Jen fist-pumped and Rarity huffed. Fluttershy stuttered her answer next.

"W-Well Jen's does seem to be well put together, a-and very precisely too. B-but Rarity's has more quality and heart put into it, and feels less... erm... Artificial so...I'm gonna go with her."

After she finished she collapsed below the table. Rarity gave Jen a smug look and Jen glared off to the side. Rainbow went next in an apathetic tone.

"Eh. They're both pants."

Both of them stared at her intensely, hanging on her word as she would break the tie.

"What? They're just clothes. Tie."

Both of them tried to stutter out a response, and I stepped out with Spike. The two of us had agreed that to avoid a major conflict that we would step in in case of a tie. I went first.

"Well you guys do have different ways of doing things. Jen can work faster and be more efficient,"

Spike took it.

"And Rarity is more style based in her working!"

"Yeah. How about you two just agree to be strong in different ways, and thus be equal. Besides, if the two of you work together then you could make some interesting stuff."

The two glanced at each other, and then away again.

"Plus, Jen you could learn about Equestrian style and Rarity you could have access to someone who could help you gather and assemble materials with a higher speed thanks to her extra limbs and sensors and stuff."

Spike walked next to Rarity with a big grin.

"Plus you can say that you partner with not only the first alien to visit Equestria and the only robot in current existence!"

They both gained contemplative expressions and looked at each other. Rarity spoke first.

"Well. I do suppose I have been a bit rude to you darling. My apologies."

Rarity held out a hoof and Jen shook it.

"Eh no problem. I was a bit of a pain too. And I suppose I could stand to learn how to be a bit more fashionable in what I make."

"And I in being a bit more... functional."

From there the two agreed to partner up, much to the relief of everyone in attendance. It would be a major problem if Jen and Rarity were locked in a blood feud for all of our time here. I took the two new pairs of pants that they had made, as they were crafted to fit me, and stored them in a small satchel I had acquired from Pinkie to carry items around. We all just hung out after that in the boutique, until another challenge was issued by Rainbow Dash.

"Okay, now that we have all of the fru fru junk done, let's do something exciting! Jenny, how about that race then? You seem pretty fast but I still feel like I should test your flying!"

Jen smirked at this.

"Alright then. Just say the when and where."

I watched them shake on it and groaned internally.

The race was set in the same place where the race to get Dash a pet had been, and Pinkie was happy to referee over it as well.

"On your marks... Get set... GO!"

The two shot off, and the rest of us watched from the finish line. The two of them dove in, weaving around and Jen keeping pace with Dash. I watched through a pair of binoculars as Dash glanced at Jen, a bit surprised that Jen was keeping up. I smiled. Jen hadn't even needed to open her wings yet. as they got about halfway Dash gained a look of concentration as they dove down into the gorge. She started accelerating and a white cone started forming. Uh oh, is she going to try and-

BOOM!

Yes. She is. She sonic rainboomed away from Jen and I watched as Jen was tossed back, only to recover midair. I looked and saw Jen narrow her eyes and extend her wings. I wasn't a mouth reader but I could tell she was saying 'game on' under her breath. She held in midair for a moment, shaking as power built. She rocketed away, a blue jetstream behind her. I snickered. In the show XJ9 could fly around the Earth in minutes, so going sonic? No problem. The shockwave from Jen rippled and seemed to tear apart the ring of rainbow light from the rainboom. Dash seemed to turn her head in shock as Jen passed her, blasting her out of control just as she had done previously to Jen. Jen held a hand downward to tear the tape as she flew over all of us. I watched her deploy chutes in midair and turn her thrusters around to slow up. She exhaled and landed next to us, and I cheered and highfived her. I looked over to see Spike and the mane six looking at the shredder rainboom with hanging jaws. Rainbow Dash landed and looked at Jen angrily.

"W-what the hay was that?!"

Jen mugly looked at her and booped her nose.

"That was a sonic boom. No magic, all speed. Next time don't try to cheat and blast away the competition with a rainboom."

"I want a rematch!"

"Why? So you can lose again?"

"So I can beat you for cheating!"

"You mean when I went sonic, just like you did? You tried to cheat and blast me away, so I stopped holding back. That's how I roll Rainbow Trash!"

Rainbow puffed out her face angrily, and everyone else recovered. Pinkie rushed up to Jen.

"That was awesome! You managed to beat Dashie!"

Applejack was laughing on her back after seeing Rainbow's expression.

"Whatsa matter Dash? Can't handle yer own medicine!?"

`Fluttershy was hiding behind Rarity, and Rarity herself was looking over the display, murmuring about inspiration and torn beauty. Twilight had walked up to me.

"Was that more of your world's... Science?"

I nodded.

"We have vehicles meant for flight, some of which are built to go as fast if not faster than sound. Even some that can get out of the planet's gravitational field."

Twilight's eyes lit up.

"Could you two maybe tell me about them sometime?"

"Sure. But no dissection or disassembling, kay?"

She blushed and nodded. Spike was cheering with Pinkie and had climbed on Jen's back between her wings. Dash seemed pissed still, and I watched her give Jen a confused look when she held out a hand.

"We can both go supersonic, though I don't know my own limits. Wanna help me with flight training? Be flying buddies or something?

Dash seemed apprehensive, but shook the hand.

"Fine, but I still want that rematch!"

Jen giggled.

"Sure thing."

From there everyone had to leave to take care of various things, and Jen and I went home. We both talked and made the decision that for the events of the show some we would change, others we wouldn't. Of course we first agreed to go out and investigate the castle of the two sisters. Jen went out to grab first of all the inspiration manifestation book from the castle, thus preventing Rarity going crazy with power. I myself went to out basement and set up a small glass terrarium with Somebra's horn and crystals. The horn seemed to melt the crystals and absorb them, and then a small amount of black crystalline rock gre out of the base of it. It seemed Sombra could be remade after all. That'd need supervision. After Jen retrieved the book and I locked it in a chest in the basement, away from Sombra's horn. After that the two it was early evening and the two of us went to sleep for the night.

The next morning went fairly well, me and Jen simply hanging out at home. Then a dice came out of nowhere and pinged against the back of Jen's head. It was a six sided die, looking as if it contained a swirling purple galaxy within. A voice echoed out of it as I picked it up.

This is for anyone who needs help or just wants a friend. Summon the Dungeon Master of Equestria if you’re ever in need.

A wave of static sound ripped out of the dice.

I'm sorry, but Dox is unavailable right now. In fact, he could use some help himself. I don't know what you'd need him for, but he's gonna need you more than you need him

I spoke as a wave of light erupted from it, both of us cringing back.

"WOT!?"

With that we fell away, arriving somewhere else... Next Chapter: Chapter Eight: The Dragon Named After A President Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 22 Minutes
