Rollin' around at the speed of sound!

Got places to go, gotta follow my rain-!

Cease your inward obnoxious tune.

Make me, [bEEP]-wad. Not even his Highness was gonna stop me from being enthusiastic over going to the big city.

The Mane Six, Spike and myself were now by the train station, prepared to take our trip towards what they called "Manehattan." I know, stupid pun name, but you can't have everything. And hey, considering how hype the others were to going there, it rubbed off on even me.

"Won't you be a dear?" I noticed from the corner of my eye Rarity saying to Spike in that affectionate voice, motioning for him to help pick up the second mountain of suitcases she had nearby.

Erm, excuse me? Did you forget about our little agreement oh so long ago about not taking advantage over Spike's infatuation like that, Rarity? Both Twilight and I shared annoyed glances. "Sure, I'll be a dear," The dragon responded in hesitant obedience, prompting my sigh.

"An entire week in the fabulous city of Manehattan!" The white unicorn exclaimed in an ecstatic tone, grinning at the thought. "Plus, all my very best friends there with me!"

I smirked. You flatter me love.

"Of course we'd all come along to support you during fashion week, Rarity!" Oh yeah, the main reason the trip was planned in the first place. A fashion show was to commence in the city, and of course, Rarity would enter. No doubt win.

Fluttershy backed up my internal statement, "Not that you'll need it; we're sure you'll win."

"Oooh!" Rarity squealed happily, "I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that you'll all be there with me!" Same. "However." Uh oh. The mare followed that with opening her bag, pulling out eight familiar items to present to the others. "Perhaps I can show yoooou!"

...Yeah?

"What's that?" Twilight inquired at the purple tickets floating before us.

"Oh oh oh! I know! A paper fan!" Heh, I don't think so Pinkie.

"No, it's-!"

"A magic trick! You know, where I pick a card and remember which one it is and then you put it back in the deck and I look away and-"

"These are tickets to the hottest musical on bridleway!" Oh, a musical?

The girls glanced at each other in elated surprise. "You couldn't mean 'Hinny of the Hills?'" Who of the what? "Because that show's been sold out for months!" Twilight gasped. "Or could you?"

"I could. I do."

The alicorn gasped again, to my humoured smile, "Oh Rarity you didn't have to do that. But, since you did..." And the mares cheered in excitement, clearly more than pleased to be able to attend this musical while we were at Manehattan.

Save for Spike.

Noticing the defeated posture and walk between carrying the suitcases, I shook my head and placed my own case down, walking over towards the dragon. Spike looked up in gratitude at my assistance, both picking up the unnecessary suitcases Rarity was adamant in taking with us.

"You know, I've been to a musical once," I said conversationally. "When I was a kid."

Spike glanced at me curiously. "Was it good?"

"...Honestly, Spike, I am totally indifferent to it now."
