Twilight Sparkle caught sight of Cicada, and wanted to discuss the dream with her. However, she knew the others did not know that Cicada was a Changeling, so she approached her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Cicada," Twilight whispered, "Can we... talk? In... private?"

Dennis frowned at what she said. His mood had an un-usual change... the light didn't seem to shine as much. The heat of the room vanished... and he felt a short chill out of this. He heard AJ's... pleas and he placed a hand above Rainbow's shoulder.

"Don't you want us to come Rainbow Dash? What if we could? Wouldn't you want that?" 

She looked at her seriously for a moment and then gave her a smile. She knew that she was nostalgic of home but...

"You've made friends here... and... we don't want to lose you guys. Especially me... Colette might think the same way about Fluttershy..."

His face was a plea for acceptance and filled with hope of more than just... *sigh* he didn't even know. He... he just wanted to... get a little time alone with her.

After several hours of flying and some some very unpleasant check points (note to self chrysalis does not like being touch) they had finally arrive to Miami. David was wearing black sunglasses with a open collar shirt with shorts, he holds chrysalis hand and says cheerfully while smiling "well here we are". He looked left to right To a very unexpected surprise they were greeted by David's cousin Mario. Mario was a short strong man while having hair like a babies bottom "Ah cousin" he said giving him a tight hug while patting his back "oh how I missed you" David smiles and says while chuckling "I missed you to Mario I see you haven't gotten taller from when we last met" Mario jumps and wraps his arm around David's neck "I may be short but I can still kick your ass" Mario looks up to chrysalis grins widely and looks at David "David you sly dog when you find this one" David blushes. Mario walk up to chrysalis and holds her placing a kiss on her hand "hello there beautiful where'd you find my cousin"

Ulysses seemed was enjoying the attention we was receiving immensely. One could tell by the look in his eye, and the speed at which his bushy tail was wagging. Applejack mentioned that she believed Ulysses would get on great with her Winona, her dog back home. Logan cracked a smile and nodded in response to that, but he was unable to say anything before Fluttershy gasped, releasing the canine's ears. She had started to say something of disbelief, before her thoughts seemed to get the better of her, and she stood, leaving the kitchen to go search for her.

 

Logan's eyebrow was raised, but he made no further inquiry as to why. He didn't get a full chance to, as Rainbow Dash turned her attention from what she'd been saying to Dennis and looked to Applejack, asking - what Logan assumed - had been the source of Fluttershy's own surprise: What exactly Applejack meant by what she'd said, as if the dog - and by extension, Logan - would be returning with them to Equestria. Logan's expression turned to one of a certain type of pain as AJ reprimanded her friend, before turning and walking out of the house.

 

The officer stayed in place for a second, before giving Rainbow Dash a slight look, and following Applejack outside. Ulysses had started to follow him, but stopped and sat at Logan's gesture. He instead just waited outside the door as Logan exited. Applejack was sitting on the porch, head in her hands. Logan quietly stepped up beside and sat down himself, putting an arm gently over her shoulders, "AJ...?"

 

There was probably something more eloquent for him to have said, but he could not think of any. He'd found in the past that having someone to talk to about your fears or worries was the best way to come to terms with them. And that's what he aimed to do.

Catherine had remained silent during the trip to the track, listening to Jack go over the routine for the track. She couldn't bring herself to speak and break his concentration on this, but she did almost wish he wouldn't be saying it all out loud. It made her uncomfortable to think about just how many things could possibly go wrong with what her boyfriend was doing.

 

She was broken from her thoughts by Jack addressing her directly, and she turned face him, as he asked whether she worried during his races, "Dumb question..." she thought, before actually responding, "Of course I worry, Jack. You're putting your life on the line for this sort of thing. For entertainment of others... Though you have ulterior motives for what you do. I can't keep the thoughts of your dreams, and just what could go wrong from my mind," she sighs and rubs her forehead with one hand, before repeating what she'd first said, "Of course I worry.. I can only pray to whatever's out there that you make it out every time."

@@Hypn0ticD,

 

Angie couldn't help but give a loud laugh at the twin's antics. The sort of thing they were doing was amusing on its own, but the addition of their accents just made it all the more hysterical. She had managed to keep her mirth down until after the recording was finished, and Stephen suggested they go get ready, so Colette could murder them for her torture. Angie, still snickering, stood from her chair and gave a slight salute, "Right you are! We'll face our demise with dignity and pride of our hilariously cruel deed."

 

And with that, she marched off to prepare herself for the day.

"Ah love you...Ah don't wanna lose ya...I don't want to leave you and Ulysses behind...I...Ah don't know if we can...um..." She shook her head and placed her head back into her hands.

Rainbow Dash shook her head sadly at the departing Applejack. AJ was always there for her like a rock, always knowing what to do, always ready to hang out. When AJ abandoned her...it was harder for Rainbow Dash to deal with then she would admit, even to herself. Fluttershy may have been a wellspring of kindness, but she was no anchor for Rainbow Dash.

"I don't get where she came up with that," she mumbled to Dennis. "She's being selfish. How can she go around talking like we can just drag a bunch of humans--I mean, if you humans are a bunch of random-ass hairless ape monsters, no offense--away from their own world?" She crossed her arms. "I mean, what if you asked me to abandon my world and stay here with you guys?" She cut through the air with one hand. "I'd kick your asses!"

"Jus'..." she shrugged. "I thought she'd get that. AJ has family and stuff, she should get it even more than I do. Pff..." she rolled her eyes. "Element of Loyalty. I didn't even stay in the town I went to flight camp in. But AJ's hardly ever left Ponyville, unless she's selling stuff for the apple family. There was only like one time, and that was when she was real young. When she thought she was gonna' go live in Manehatten, remember? They had a little bit about that on the show, got all the high points."

 

She smirked. "I was the one who brought her back too. Awesome as usual."

Fluttershy was on the floor for the next few minutes, sitting right in front of the bathroom door with her arms over her face, rocking back and forth mewling like a newborn kitten.

How! How did this have to happen to her! It was like the universe of her life was run by some perverted will determined to make her as embarrassed as possible! She wouldn't even be able to form a coherent thought for hours!

@,

 

Logan's expression was sympathetic, to say the least. He understood her fears - having questioned himself on this, though to a lesser extent. But it was true in saying he hadn't taken into account what exactly would happen should he not be able to return with her. This was exactly what he was afraid of. The pain he'd be causing her by admitting how he felt, only for her to have to leave and their probably never seeing one another again. The thought, and the sight of Applejack in such distress, caused Logan himself to shed a few tears.

 

He wiped them away with the sleeve of his jacket. It wouldn't help if his resolve started to erode when AJ was already in a bad state. Logan reached around with his free arm and drew her into a hug, holding it in an attempt to at least give her some form of comfort. Gently rubbing her arm with one hand, he said, "I love you too.. and you know that I don't want to lose you either... But, as much as it pains me to say ... I can't truthfully say that I don't know what to do, AJ. Other than hope... I'm.. sorry that I can't offer anything better than that."

She had only just finished sliding her self-defense weapon into it's concealed holster when she felt the buzzing of the cellular device. She extricated it from her pocket and reading the message as she moved to wait by the door for the rest of her group, chuckling as she typed out a reply one handed, >"While, to a degree I do apologize, I still found your predicament pretty funny. You should know better than to tell an immature person like me that you lost bacon. Though I am curious why Fluttershy would make the rest of it.. May I ask about the delicacy's fate?"

Colette set about rummaging through her closet for a decent outfit, but only managing to find a top. Maybe she could dip into her "show clothes"?

 

Colette reached under her bed for the clothing storage bag - coming across something foreign. Pulling it out, she raised an eyebrow. Fluttershy's sketchbook?? What was this doing here??

 

Colette knew she shouldn't, but what harm could one little peek bring?? She opened the sketchbook, gasping at what she saw.

"Yeah, 249 races later, and I'm still going strong without injury, knock on wood," Jack responds, tapping his fist on the wall.

"The wall is actually made out of steel, but that's beside the point. I've been racing cars, be it karts, stock cars, sports cars, Bandaleros, you name it, for a long time, and not once have I had a serious injury. Sure, I've gotten bruised up from sprint car crashes, but otherwise, I've never had the misfortune of serious injury. Of course... I still... have the feeling that the worst is yet to come... judging by my dreams and all..."

His voice trailed off, and he hugged his girlfriend, fearing his possible fate.

"Whatever happens... you gotta stick with me, stay strong, even if things end up turning out bad..."

He closed his eyes while nuzzling against her face, but images of his cousin's fatal accident at Le Mans flashed through his brain. He remembered everything. The final, panic-stricken transmission about the jammed throttle, the blue and yellow Corvette C6.R slamming into the chicane wall at nearly 200 MPH, and shortly after, disintegrating in a massive ball of flames. He grimaced at this thought, clenching his teeth and grunting slightly.

Many of the first pages of Fluttershy's sketchbook were filled with animals--there were drawings of birds, bears, butterflies, and other typical Ponyvillean and Everfree animals that looked, from their expressions, somehow much more intelligent than their analogs of Earth.

A few of them were drawing of ponies--mares, it looked like, of all three species. Most were pretty-looking and smiling but innocent sketches, while a few of them were more detailed, revealing a level of reality beyond the flash animation of an Earth cartoon, and a couple of the figures depicted were in what could be guessed to be...vaguely compromising positions. Some of those were crossed out, some with neat circles and some with messy, hasty scrabbles.

 

Later, past them, in between two drawings of birds on telephone wire, was a human girl, a head-and-shoulders that depicted her with a smile broad enough to light up Grand Central Station. Past that, second to last, was the drawing Colette had already seen, her own head-and-shoulders in which she wound up with extra-long hair.

The last was Fluttershy's drawing of Colette after playing DDR. She was leaned against the balance bar, looking behind her at the imaginary camera, covered in sweat. The lines down her sides were quickly sketched in, as Fluttershy had sought to capture her pose and texture before she lost it. But somehow, much later, as she went back to add details like clothes, she'd found--out of laziness?--that she didn't feel like it, and essentially left Colette as a naked.

Only, even later, in spare moments, almost unconsciously, she'd begun adding some shading to that body. She hadn't gotten all the way down, and most of it was done without paying much attention, but Colette's bare shoulders shimmered in dim arcade light.

Then there was the sketch of herself on the DDR machine. Naked. "Oh...kay." Colette didn't know what to think. Should she impressed, or should she be creeped out? The detail and shading, though unfinished, was impressive. Her curves were well defined and well -- she was taking a real long time in getting dressed!

 

Colette quickly closed and placed the sketchbook back, got dressed, grabbed some extra jewelry, and stepped back out into the hall, immediately spotting the former Pegasus, curled up in a ball and making soft noises.

He had to put himself there if he wanted to be cool enough to maneuver his car around one of the trickiest tracks on the Nationwide schedule.

"If anything ever happens," Jack said to her, "We'll always find out way back to each other."

He then planted a kiss on her forehead as the helicopter landed on the infield helipad.

"Oh okay, lovebirds," the pilot teased, "We've touched down!"

Jack nodded, laughed, and gave the pilot a light, playful punch on the shoulder.

"Have a good one, Tommie," he said to him, "And don't leave without me like last time!"

He took Catherine by her hand, and gently helped her down from the helicopter. After the two stepped out of the helicopter, Jack whipped out his phone to see a message from Colette containing the address to the warehouse. He scrolled down to also notice the poor woman had her bacon fed to the dog by Fluttershy. A little bit of walking led the two to a stand selling bacon-based foods, which was the source of the fried pig meat aroma that Jack detected upon exiting the chopper. The stand was selling everything and anything that had to do with bacon: chocolate covered bacon, bacon sandwiches, bacon flavored cotton candy, bacon flavored ice cream, bacon flavored cheese, bacon flavored bacon, and bacon flavored bacon flavored bacon. Smirking, he snapped a picture of the stand, and sent it to Colette.

<<Sucks to suck! I get to eat all the bacon I want!!!>>

Shaking his head and smiling, Jack wished that he could send the scent of the bacon stand along with the message, too. Not long after, they finally made their way to the garage, where Jack picked up a pair of noise reducers off of the tool dolly, giving them to Catherine.

"I'm sure you'll want these as the cars come flying down the straightaway?" He asked Catherine.

"Dennis, I-" she cut herself off as Dennis began to record the two, not wanting to interfere with whatever it was they were doing. "Never mind, I'll... ask you... later."

Twilight Sparkle stood back, and watched Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie prepare what looked like some sort of skit, judging by how they requested Dennis to record them.

Shawn smiled as he spotted Angie saunter over to him, meeting her halfway and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Didja get Colette's latest message??" He asked, snickering. Shawn laughed again at Angie's confirmation, opening the passenger's side door for her as he did so. He then climbed into the car himself, waited a moment, then lowered his window and stuck his head out, honking the horn as he did so. "Come on, you two! Time's a wastin'! Ya coming or not??"

Logan's expression was sympathetic, to say the least. He understood her fears - having questioned himself on this, though to a lesser extent. But it was true in saying he hadn't taken into account what exactly would happen should he not be able to return with her. This was exactly what he was afraid of. The pain he'd be causing her by admitting how he felt, only for her to have to leave and their probably never seeing one another again. The thought, and the sight of Applejack in such distress, caused Logan himself to shed a few tears. He wiped them away with the sleeve of his jacket. It wouldn't help if his resolve started to erode when AJ was already in a bad state. Logan reached around with his free arm and drew her into a hug, holding it in an attempt to at least give her some form of comfort. Gently rubbing her arm with one hand, he said, "I love you too.. and you know that I don't want to lose you either... But, as much as it pains me to say ... I can't truthfully say that I don't know what to do, AJ. Other than hope... I'm.. sorry that I can't offer anything better than that."

Applejack sniffled, doing her best to hold back her tears. "Th-thanks...Ah...ah hope everything turns out...I just don't know what else to do...But ah guess ah was wrong to try to ignore this...Ah just can't lie...even to mahself...L-logan...I love ya..." She hugged Logan tight, trying to think about what she could do.

Colette watched as Fluttershy stood and left. "Wait, Fluttershy, I'm not mad!" She followed the timid former Pegasus down the stairs, vying for her attention all the while, but to no avail.

 

She watched as Fluttershy went through the back door, sighing in frustration. It was embarrasing, yes, but it wasn't as if Fluttershy did it on purpose…

 

Colette made her way back into the kitchen, where she noticed Twilight ad she was awkwardly holding someone's phone, apparently recording Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, as if they were about to do something… "Whadd're you two doing? Is it something I should be worried about?"
