Mustn't laugh… Must… not--! "AH HA HA HA HA!" Colette turned her head away as the two mares struggled to play through the song, the both of them barely passing with a D-- Twilight ekeing a slightly higher score. Finally settling down, Colette applauded them both for trying. "You both did a lot better than I did when I first started out. If you guys want, I can show you my skill!

Eventually, she found the specific memory for which she searched, "I believe she was with Dennis. I'm not sure where they went from there, but she seemed a little upset about everything. I hadn't really spoken with her myself."

"Hey guys," Jack said as he walked in, "What's going on- oh my GOD!"

Jack nearly died of laughter at the sight of Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy dancing to DDR. (begin corpsing) After he finally caught his breath, he watched as Colette got on the dance machine, going through quite a workout.

He hopped into the helicopter anyway, taking the seat right next to Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

"You look disturbed," Twilight then said to Jack.

In truth, Diliges had absolutely no idea what he was doing. True to plan, he mimicked Clare's movements from earlier, and with a straight expression, watched the pixel representations of the characters dance across the screen. Obviously, he didn't really do much in terms of damaging his virtual opponent, in stark contrast to the devastation that was wrought on him.

Colette came up and mentioned something about having to head out after the simulated fisticuffs was concluded. The Changeling's only reaction was a nod and a grunt of affirmation.

The helicopter ride back to the cars was relatively uneventful for Logan and his dog, though he was able to see that there were some tensions of various kinds inside the cabins. He kept silent about it.

 

Upon arriving back on the ground and stepping out, Applejack strode next to him, and in an admittedly shy kind of way, asked if they should head out for their date now, petting Ulysses. Logan couldn't but feel amusement at her behavior, and her realization of the fact, stating she sounded like her shy friend. Good to see that the lovely tomboy still had a definite sensitive side beyond being an impressive kisser. He nodded in response, "Yeah, we could probably do to head out now."

 

She asked if he knew how to get there, and Logan glanced at his phone. He had used a GPS to get there the first time, but he had a fairly good memory and was good at figuring out directions, so he knew the way from Colette's, and from that knowledge was able to figure out how to get there from here. Applejack suggested packing a picnic for the top. In all truth, that didn't sound like a bad idea, "We could probably do that. Might have to make a stop at a store anyway to grab some water."

 

The officer led the former pony to his Charger and opened the passenger door for her, glancing back to the group to be sure that they were all accounted for. He managed to make eye contact with Angie, affirming where he was going. The brunette nodded and gave him a thumbs up, before turning her attention back to the rest of the group.
