In the world of Eden, Spike and the Rainbooms were currently wandering around the weapons and items shop. They were all checking out several weapons, outfits, or items they had been saving up for or in Rarity's case seeing if there was a sale.

Rainbow was skimming through weapons, “I'll need that. I need this. Oh, definitely need that!” she selected every weapon that caught her eye.

“Rainbow, you should really spend wisely on.” Twilight lectured her.

“Tell that to Rarity.” Rainbow retorted while motioning to said girl who purchasing outfit after outfit in the clothing section, “Besides it's a sale on weapons.”

Twilight sighed while shaking her head before spotting Spike up ahead looking at something, “Spike, see something you like?”

“Only that.” Spike motioned ahead.

Twilight looked and saw the sentai mecha or zord Dragonzord, “Dragonzord?” she asked.

“Yes. My most favorite of all the zords.” he answered in awe.

“A dragon's favorite robot is a dragon, huh?” Applejack asked rhetorically, while hanging off him.

“Oh, my that's a big price even on a sale.” Fluttershy noticed the price.

Twilight looked and gasped, “800,000 bits?! Spike, are you seriously...”

“Don't worry, Twilight. I've been saving more than enough. And this sale is the perfect chance. Besides there may come a time I'll need to use it in battles.” Spike said, as he purchased the Dragonzord model and added it to his stock.

“Well, I think we pretty much replenished whatever stocks we needed to update.” Sunset noted.

“And got some new fun stuff too.” Pinkie put in.

“So what do we do now?” Spike asked.

“Well, I'm afraid I have to punch out. There's a new outfit I'm making for a client and I best get started now.” Rarity answered.

“And I better check in with the animal shelter.” Fluttershy added.

“And I've got some baking to do.” Pinkie remembered.

“I still need to finish the rest of the new Daring Do book.” Rainbow put in.

“I got to go over some things for Principal Celestia.” Twilight said.

“And I think I'm gonna take it easy now.” Applejack finished.

“I'm actually free, Spike.” Sunset replied.

“Oh, good. Well, I guess Sunset and I are gonna stay in Eden for a bit longer.” Spike told the others.

“Ok, but not too late.” Twilight warned them, as the girls exited the virtual world.

Spike turned to Sunset, “So where do you wanna go?”

Sunset smirked, “I got an idea. Follow me.” she led Spike out of the shop to head to another world in Eden.

Later on the two were walking around a race car obstacle course, where several players from normal every day avatars to even Ravagers were taking spots at the starting line with their own vehicles, some based off ones from social media or literature, and some being original designs.

'The Destiny Track is a racing course where players test their skills on wheels. And the best part is the race course is always random. Meaning you never race the same course twice in a row. Each course is tricked out with different traps and obstacles. You need to be smart with your driving otherwise BOOM, crash and burn.'

“I tell ya Spike this is the perfect place to get some quick coins.” Sunset told the dragon.

“No kidding. So what kind of ride you got?” Spike inquired, as they took places on the track.

Sunset reached into her stock and spoke, "Behold." she declared, as she sat down a small model figure that increased in size to reveal it was a light cycle of the Tron game.

“Good call.” Spike admitted.

“So what you got in that stash of yours?” Sunset inquired.

“Feast your eyes.” Spike said as he unveiled his own set of wheels being the Ninja Turtles Party Wagon.

“Classic.” Sunset admitted.

“Thanks. So ready to race?” Spike asked.

“You know it.” And so everyone got inside or mounted their vehicles.

They started their engines and revved up as the lights began flashing. When the light hit green, everyone took off and onto the track.

As the vehicles raced each other, Sunset and Spike were determined to make it up front, but also had to keep an eye out for obstacles and traps rigged into the track.

When the cars started driving through a city section that looked like a montage of several familiar places like New York, Gotham, San Fransokyo, Metropolis, and many others. Spike looked ahead seeing those in front of him were crashing and burning from either ramming into each other, some blasting each other with weapons installed in their vehicles, or getting taken out by several traps from spiked platforms popping up destroying their tires, and even trucks or other program vehicles to block their paths.

“Time to Ravage some loot.” Spike joked.

“Seriously?” Sunset asked in disbelief.

“Eh, make whatever joke I can.” Spike answered, as he opened the Party Wagon's side door allowing him to collect as many coins left by the Ravagers that crashed.

“Don't take it all!” Sunset called, as she herself started collecting coins from the riders close to her that just crashed.

“Hey, big jump ahead!” Spike called, as he put the pedal to the metal.

“I see it!” Sunset called as she herself sped up.

The two among many more made the jump to the next track while others weren't so lucky. As the racers drove they started dodging swinging wrecking balls, “Dodge. Dodge. Go!” Spike called, as he was dodging the wrecking balls.

“Hey, Spike! I think your distant relative's up ahead!” came Sunset.

“What?” Spike asked in confusion, before looking up ahead and saw who else but the king of Kaiju himself, “Godzilla.”

Godzilla was roaring and smashing up racers and their vehicles that tried to get past him, “Think we can make it?” Sunset asked.

“Follow my lead.” Spike ordered, as Spike took lead with Sunset following.

As Godzilla continued to take out racers with some able to avoid him, while others weren't as lucky. Spike and Sunset maneuvered through the other racers before coming right up on Godzilla, “Gotta aim this right,” Spike said, as he was eyeing one of the wrecking balls swinging close, “Fire!” he pressed a button, causing a cannon to pop out from atop the van that fired a ball of compressed garbage at the crane causing the wrecking ball connected to it to veer off its course resulting in it nailing Godzilla distracting him.

Spike and Sunset took this chance to drive around Godzilla and continued on with the race, “Good one, Spike!” Sunset called.

“Naturally.” Spike replied, as they caught up with the rest of the drivers.

As they were honing in on the finish line, Spike used his vehicle to ram several other cars off the track allowing him to take the lead with Sunset following in pursuit.

“First one there!” Spike announced.

“Not on my watch!” Sunset answered, as the two drove determined to be the first one to cross.

As they closed in, they put in all they had, until Spike managed to cross before Sunset did. Appearing on the racing scoreboard was Spike in first, and Sunset in second, while everyone else either pulled up farther back or crashed.

The two checked their stats and saw they gained more coins for their high places in the race, “Yes. Replenished just about all the coins I spent at the shop.” Sunset noted.

“Same here,” Spike added, before offering his hand, “Good race, Sunset.”

“Thanks, you too.” Sunset replied, as their shook on it.

“So, wanna go to the Ink and Paint Club?” Spike suggested.

“Sure.” Sunset agreed, as they packed up their rides, and left for said club.

At the Ink and Paint club, Spike and Sunset were sitting at a table eager to see tonight's guest performance, “Spike, I'm so excited that PostCrush is playing tonight. K-Lo and Su-Z are amazing!” Sunset began expressing her excitement.

“They are quite a duo,” Spike admitted, “Though I think they might be into each other. Which is disappointing to a lot of guys.”

“Actually, they swing both ways from what I heard.” Sunset replied.

“Really? Well, that's awesome.” Spike said.

Suddenly the lights dimmed, as an announcer spoke up, “Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for PostCrush!”

Appearing on stage were two teen girls. On guitar was K-Lo, who had brilliant sapphire blue eyes, light cerulean eyeshadow, pale cyan skin, and her hair was light brilliant cerise with light brilliant magenta and pale blue violet highlights. On Drum set was Su-Z who had brilliant cobalt blue eyes, pale yellow skin, and her hair was very light blue violet with very pale cyan and light brilliant magenta highlights. The two each had two little hearts painted on their cheeks.

“Good evening, Eden!” K-Lo began, “We hope you're ready to rock out tonight. But before we do we just wanna look around and see so many different patrons here today.”

Su-Z continued, “Seeing how different you truly are means you're original and not all the same. Which is good. After all, being different is what makes us all unique.”

“After all not everything is about perfection. It's all about having fun and doing what you do best. And we're here to share it with you.” K-Lo finished, as the girls began playing and singing.

K-Lo: Always first place, never second best

Only high stakes, we aim to impress

And there's no room for mistakes

Yeah, we're flawless everyday, 'cause

PostCrush: We're all about perfection

Projecting that pure reflection

Exceeding your expectations

K-Lo: Yeah!

PostCrush: Be the true, true, true original

Dare to be what you are meant to be

Working hard, that's our thing

All this way, we're perfect, perfectly true

True, true original

True, true original

True, true original

We're perfect, perfectly true

K-Lo: Oh-oh, true original

Oh, oh, hey, hey

(We're perfect, perfectly true)

True original

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

At their table, Spike and Sunset were rocking around enjoying the song, before singing along with the two performers.

Spike and Sunset: But it's not about perfection

Set off in your own direction

Shake off the expectations

PostCrush: You're the true, true, true original

Dare to be who you are meant to be

Free yourself, do your thing

All your way, you're perfect, you're perfectly you

True, true original

True, true original

True, true original

You're perfect, you're perfectly you!

The avatars cheered and applauded for the two who bowed in respect. Spike and Sunset smiled having enjoyed the performance, as Sunset took Spike's hand into her own. Spike looked down at his clasped hand, and then to Sunset who smiled at him. Spike couldn't help but smile as well, as this was a good day in Eden.

Later on back in the real world, Spike was in his room reading a comic, until there was a knock at his door, “It's opened.”

Entering his room was Sunset, “Hey, Spike.”

Spike sat up and greeted, “Hey, Sunset, what's up?”

“I just wanted to see you before heading to bed,” she sat down next to Spike, “And to thank you for spending time with me in Eden.”

“Hey, no problem. I enjoyed it as well.” Spike admitted, until suddenly Sunset kissed Spike on the lips leaving him shocked and blushing.

Sunset smiled at his reaction and spoke, “I hope we can continue hanging out together in Eden and in real life more often.”

“Sure.” Spike replied, still surprised from Sunset's advance on him.

“Well, goodnight.” Sunset said, before leaving his room.

“Goodnight.” Spike replied, as he put his finger to his lips and smiled, “Well, alright.”
