Author's Notes:

Sunday, Monday, happy days! Tuesday, Wednsday, happy days! Thursday, Friday, happy days! Saturday, what a day, rockin all week with you!

Also, if you're questioning the strange characters that are being dropped on you, do not fret, just like a majority of characters in this, they are mostly just cameo appearances. Kind of like Tri-Trak and Twistor. Or even the Throttlebots.

But I have to ask, how was this for a chapter without the robots? Decent? Okay? By the way, next chapter, we'll get another one without the Bots. I think. I don't know.

The girls left through a Groundbridge portal to go back to Canterlot for a much break with tons of activities planned for the rest of their day off. Sleepovers, movies, nothing but stress relief to keep the never-ending war off the girls minds. They were in desperate need of some detox.

Luckily for them, Pinkie Pie had already set a plan for them. Get sleeping bags, all set up at Pinkie Pie's for a sleepover, play games, watch TV, have cookie dough, and help each other out on homework that was assigned to them for the weekend. But for now, it was detox time.

Pinkie Pie unlocked the first set of locks on the door, and she moved down to unlock more of the several other locks attached to the door. The girls only stood there with awkward and confusing looks. Why did she need these many locks for the door?

Pinkie looked back and saw them staring at her awkwardly.

"Whaaaaat? Its a security door," Pinkie said.

"Against what?" Sugarcoat asked.

Pinkie scratched her chin, "Mini-cons? Burglars? Strange teenagers who are actually unicorns from Equestria that ran here from a bad past and are half Cybertronian with prosthetic limbs made from Cybertronian technology?" Pinkie grinned.

Indigo and the Crystal Prep girls raised brows.

"What?"

"If you're referring to our friend Tox, I don't think he'd be one to break into your house to steal things," Sugarcoat said.

"Yeah, that guy's smart enough not to steal from you," Indigo said.

Pinkie just shrugged and opened the door for them to enter in. Once inside, they found a spot to pile all of their belongings and bags down so they could cool off and relax.

"Aw yeah... perfect relaxation," Indigo said kicking back on the couch and resting her feet on the coffee table, "So, how do you girls want to start off this awesome day off? Video games? Truth or dare? Sweets followed by an awesome action film?"

"Oooh! I'll make the cookies!" Pinkie squeed.

"Awesome! Mind if I help?" Lemon asked.

"Of course! Follow me!"

The two hyper girls rushed off into the kitchen to get baking, all the while the others just giggled. They always enjoyed the amount of energy that Lemon Zest and Pinkie Pie carried with them.

So with them both gone into the kitchen, everyone else found a place for them to have a seat in the living room. And for background noise, they turned on the television playing a cartoon while they spoke.

"So how did training the newbies go?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh, uh... well..." Sunset stammered.

"They failed again," Sugarcoat said.

"Well I wouldn't say failed but.... no, yeah, they... they failed," Sunset said with disappointment.

Rainbow scrunched her face, "What did they do this time?"

"Well just counting every reckless moves they made together, they've argued out on the field, they were caught several times, and from the final result they just blew up Optimus Prime, Sunset, themselves, and all of their teammates that were outside," Sunny Flare replied shaking her head.

"That has to be the worst score in the hostage rescue scenario I've ever seen," Indigo said.

"No its not," Rainbow said. "Believe me, for as long as we've been at the base, we've seen much worse scores."

"That is true," Rarity said, "Before they ever met us, they kept failing in attempts to try and disguise themselves around us here on Earth. You don't even know how many times they've tried to lie about their cover."

"What?" Sunny stifled a laugh, "What kind of lies have they told to cover themselves up?"

"Well... they did tell show us one lie was that one of them was part of a museum exhibit malfunctioning, and they even used that same excuse for the Dinobots," Fluttershy said.

"Wow... that's the worse cover I've ever heard," Sour sourly said.

"Trust me Sour, that's not as bad as the other ones," Applejack said, "Their lies are on par with Sunset's bad attempts at battle cries."

"Hey! My battle cries are not bad, I just need to think some more."

"Don't you think you're trying too hard to come up with a battle cry? How many have you even come up with so far?" Fluttershy asked.

"I think we've lost track of how many she's made at this point," Indigo shrugged.

Sunset just groaned, "I need a break, just give me a second."

Sunset got off the couch and entered into the kitchen. As far as she could see, Lemon Zest and Pinkie Pie were busy at work, throwing tons of ingredients into a mixing bowl to make a batch of cookies for all of them. And there was a mess made from the flour that spilled on the countertop, and from the little bit of flour that covered the girls.

Sunset didn't say a thing. She knew they would be able to deal with that themselves. So without saying a word, she went to go to the fridge and pull out a drink. She was parched and was in much need of a refreshment.

Opening the top of the soda can, she took a sip and watched as everyone was laughing and having a good time over in the living room. At least they were having a good time by themselves. But she still wasn't happy even with the sight of her friends happy. She was far too worried with the current attacks made by their intergalactic enemies to be thinking about anything cheery. Not even the comfort of knowing the Autobots would arrive to their beck and call for assistance made her feel safe. All she could think about in silence, was Megatron. She could feel his very presence rising up, ready to pounce her, and blow her into nothing but bones.

She tensed up when she heard the sound of a sweet little voice speak to her.

"Sunset? Are you okay?"

Sunset turned to look at her pink-haired friend, "Oh, Fluttershy. I'm uh... I'm okay. I just needed a drink. Throat's getting dry.

Fluttershy didn't look convinced.

"Sunset come on, I know something's bothering you. Its okay. You can tell us anything," Fluttershy said.

"I don't know. I just... I... I don't even know anymore. I can't just leave our new recruits by themselves without me to teach them. I had them teamed together and they still can't get along without bickering every five seconds."

"Sunset, no team is perfect. They just need a little more practice, they'll find a way to work together," Fluttershy smiled.

Sunset sighed, "I hope so... but I just hope if they do they'll at least be ready for... Megatron."

Fluttershy patted Sunset's shoulder, "I'm sure they'll be ready this time. They can't catch us off-guard now. I'm sure everyone is at their best and making sure to be ready for everything."

Sunset nodded, but she still frowned.

Fluttershy simply smiled and she pulled Sunset in for a hug, and rubbed her back as she heard her breathe in and out.

"Just let it all out," Fluttershy cooed.

Sunset rested her head on Fluttershy's shoulder as she slowly calmed down from her stress. It was at this moment, she was slowly descending back into her inner peace. The warmth from Fluttershy's hug was what she needed.

But Sunset was startled by another pair of hands joining them and hugging them. And from the corner of her eye, she saw a little tuft of minty green hair sticking from the side.

"Um... Lemon? What are you doing?"

"Hey, I want some sugar too. Besides you look like you need a hug," Lemon Zest said patting her back.

"Oh, well, uh... thanks," Sunset said.

"Aw, don't mention ya teddy bear," Lemon replied with a silly grin on her face.

Sunset just blushed a bit. Lemon's happy demeanor was enough to make her smile.

Once she was calmed down enough, the three broke off from the group hug.

"So, any chance you can pass me the eggs and milk from the fridge? I can't exactly get them if you're in front of it," Lemon said.

"Oh, right, of course. Sorry," Sunset stammered, opening the door up to pull out the ingredients she needed. "So, how are the cookies coming along?"

"Well we've got most of the ingredients in, but we kind of need those two before adding in..."

Back in the living room, the rest of the girls were busy chatting about, and hanging around on the chairs and couches. Sour Sweet laid upside down on the couch so her feet were sticking over the top of the headrest, letting her hair fall down on the ground, Indigo Zap and Rainbow Dash were slouched down letting their feet rest on the coffee table, but the rest of the girls sat normally in the other chairs, and on the floor.

"So girls, what are your plans for when you get back to CHS tomorrow? Any new projects or tests coming up?" Sunny Flare asked.

"Oh we've finished a test last week. I'm absolutely positive we've made passing grades. How about you girls? Any tests or exams coming up?" Rarity asked.

"None yet. But currently, we're starting a new chapter in our mathematics class," Sunny replied.

"Ugh, I hate math! Its so hard...", Indigo whined.

"You only hate it because you don't even try to do the work. I keep offering my help to you but you say you always have it," Sunny snapped.

Indigo just rolled her eyes, "Can we please change the subject?"

"Oh of course. What would you prefer we talk about?" Rarity asked.

Indigo stared back at Rarity and her little cluster on another couch, "Did you girls have any luck getting our Decepticon suits back?"

All of them froze in silence. They didn't know how to respond. In all of their times they fought with the Autobots, never once had they got their power suits back. In fact, they didn't even make it to where their power suits were, floating about in the cold vaccum of space. They were too focused on getting back to Earth that the very thought didn't even occur to them.

They looked at one another, wondering who was going to be the first to speak up. Eventually, Twilight first began.

"I'm afraid we still don't know where your suits are. We didn't even think to look for them when we were on Cybertron because we were focused on... well, we were trying not to die," Twilight said.

"Its understandable Twilight," Sunny replied.

"Its not a problem. Besides, I've got an idea for how we can replace our suits," Sugarcoat interrupted.

"Really? How?" Applejack asked.

Sugarcoat stood up onto her own two feet. Stepping away from the couch, she walked over to her bag and pulled out a small sketch pad. Once she had the page open, she flipped it open to the page she wanted and showed it to the girls. On the pages, were designs of metallic suits, each of them fitting their size with measurements, scales, and pictures of a few inanimate objects below their suit designs.

"Sunny Flare helped me design these. After a talk with Highbrow, he gave me a few lessons about some of Cybertron's civilians. Particularly... Mini-cons. Kind of like Fixit."

"I'm not understanding what you're suggesting here Sugarcoat," Applejack said.

"Its quite simple Applejack. Since it seems like we won't be getting our power suits back anytime soon since Starscream and his cronies walked off with them, we make suits for ourselves, but instead of full on warriors, we can be Mini-cons for our guardians."

"But why?" Fluttershy asked.

"So we can offer them better protection. They get taken down easily in the battlefield if they're caught offguard. I say we make these suits to be with them, but work as an extra guard to watch their backs," Sugarcoat said.

"Sounds dangerous," Sour grumbled, "But... it sounds like it could work. Mind if we can all see?"

"Of course," Sugarcoat said.

She put the designs on the coffee table and everyone in the living room gathered around for them to see. Each of them staring down at the designs that were in front of them. Joining their group was Sunset and Fluttershy who stepped out of the kitchen and back into the living room, joining their cluster.

"After examining each of our guardians, I made the suits for each different one of them. For example, with me and Highbrow, I made my suit a Headmaster unit. If Highbrow's head unit is taken off and isn't put back in place, his entire body is reverted into his helicopter form and he'll be rendered unable to assist in robot mode. But if I had a suit that's modeled exactly like his head unit, along with connections to his spark, I should be able to give him a fighting chance," Sugarcoat said, pointing to the design of the head unit.

A few of them murmured, making Sugarcoat smile. She was receiving positive reception from the idea.

"These two designs I made were for Lemon Zest. Either we make her a Cassette suit in which she can fly out of Blaster, or we can create a little backpack for him so she can be carried or ride with Blaster."

"Okay, but how come you've got two suits planned?"

"We made the other one for emergency cases. I know she's still emotionally upset about being separated from the uh... Decepticon cassettes--"

"They were my babies and you know it!" Lemon bawled.

Sunny merely winced at Lemon's sudden cry, but she still was collected together.

"Yes. That. I helped design the backpack forge so I wouldn't remind her of... that."

The girls just flinched when they heard Lemon Zest crying again.

"They took my babies... the only Decepticons I ever loved!" Lemon cried.

"Uh Pinkie? Is she okay back there?" Twilight asked.

"I got it!" Pinkie called back. "Cookies will wait until I get her to smile again."

Sunset and the others just stared for a few seconds before looking back at the designs.

"And as for the others, I've come up with some of these. Indigo's suit is modified to convert into a large gun. This way she--"

"Whoa, whoa, hold on," Indigo interrupted raising a hand, "I can't stretch my limbs that far to transform into that thing. I'll break some bones trying to bend this way!"

Sugarcoat pushed her glasses higher onto her nose and glared at Indigo.

"You didn't let me finish. I was going to explain to you how this could work."

"Oh... sorry," Indigo chuckled nervously.

"Anyways... the suits that we'll make will be modified to bend around our bodies and they'll also work as little inner control stations. Kind of like how Sunset and her Canterlot friends suits can form giant heads with big computer technology inside as a main control room. They sit in the heads to control from inside, we'll have control of the inside of our suits with built in defenses and computer technology."

Indigo and Sunny scratched their heads in confusion.

Sugarcoat rolled her eyes, "We'll be able to control everything we do with computer consoles and controls when our suits are in immobile mode."

"Oh...", the girls said in unison.

"Moving on. For Sour and her... partner, Smallfoot--"

Sour just blushed and gave a nervous smile on her face.

"I've planned out a Targetmaster suit where she'll be able to convert into a gun that Smallfoot can hold onto. And as an addition to make sure she can't lose you, it'll possess a neural link that can connect to her so it can't be taken away from her. You won't be taken by anyone else, and by the time someone tries to, you will have already shot everybody down like an action hero."

Sour had a big grin on her face now. She was loving the sound of this idea.

"I like it... But where will I be when I'm in the gun form?"

"When you're not using your suit to shoot your enemy, you'll either walk with your partner, and or probably hanging on her back, depending on how you want to do it."

Sour nodded, "I see. Sounds pretty amazing!"

"For the suit I made for Sunny, I made this in mind. Since Outback is roughly her same height since he's a Mini-bot, I figured I might make her a power suit that will be like Outback's vehicle mode, an all terrain vehicle basically. In vehicle form, it'll be size enough for her drive, but in robot mode, it'll shrink down around her and cover her in a tough suit to help her out in the field."

"I love it!" Sunny said, "It almost looks like him."

"True, true. But it won't be 100% look like him. I just need to make the modifications to make it your own, and your own suggestions. So with all of that said, what do you think Sunset?"

Sunset scratched her chin as she looked at the designs in front of her. It seemed reasonable enough. They were going to need stronger suits to fight in the field, plus they probably weren't going to get their real power suits back anytime soon.

"As second-in-command, I approve. We'll begin construction on these as soon as we have the free time and whenever we return back to the Autobots," Sunset said.

Sugarcoat smiled, "I'm glad you approve."

"Okay, so we all agree on our suits, and we know what to do when we return back to the Autobots. Can we please goof off now?" Indigo whined.

"Well of course. What movie's going to play?"

"I think its Dawn of the Aliens," Indigo said as she squinted her eyes towards the television screen.

"Oh, I love that movie! I saw it with Smallfoot on our three-month anniversary, it was so awesome!" Sour squeed.

Sunny and Sugarcoat gave smug grins on their faces when they saw Sour freak out in a happy tone.

"Did I say that out loud?" Sour asked.

"Oh its fine Sour. What about you girls? You want to see it?" Sunny asked.

"Sounds awesome, lets see it!"

"Yeah!"

"Play it!"

"Start the movie!"

"Come on, lets watch!"

"Alright, alright, starting the movie," Indigo said as she hit her fingers on the remote control, flipping to the correct channel.

The girls took their seats as the movie began. And from the kitchen they heard a dinging sound.

"First batch is done!" Pinkie called out. "But you might not want to touch them yet!"

"Got it Pinkie!" Sunset called back.

So as the girls all began the movie, Sunset began to lie back on the couch she sat in and relax a little more. She was starting to feel more calm now that she had the girls around to talk to. And with them all going back to school like normally, hopefully she would be able to go about her day without any problems.

Eventually as the day continued, Pinkie Pie and Lemon Zest brought some of the chocolate chip cookies they made over to their friends who happily snacked on the sweet and tasty treats. Then again, when the pair were brought together, the delicious baking was multiplied even higher than before.

All throughout the rest of the day it was filled with delectable food and drinks, smiles, laughter, and relaxation. This was going to be a start of a good week for the girls.

Everyone stayed up for as long as they possibly could, until everyone’s collective yawning gave them a hint that they should call it quits for the night. All of them were in deep sleep, all diving into their dreamlands, and all sounds of the outside world blocked off.

The only one who wasn't falling asleep right away was Sunset. Even though she was feeling a little better from hanging out with her friends today, she still felt... off. Something wasn't right with her, and she knew it. She knew Megatron was still out there and alive, but there was nothing she could do about it. They still have no way off their planet to go and find him, and they have enough problems already with trying to prepare themselves for another attack. But she knew Optimus Prime and the Autobots were still going to help them and protect them with their lives.

So with the final thoughts in her head, her eyes were slowly beginning to close, and she allowed the clutches of peaceful sleep take her, while her teddy bear and her blanket provided all the warmth she needed.
