Jack gave Catherine a peck on the cheek as she climbed down from the pit box. A couple of his crew members laughed and "dawwwwed" as he lifted her from the ladder, kissing her cheek as he brought her down. Jack laughed along with them, playfully flipping the bird at Tyler and smiling before taking a more serious yet positive demeanor.

"Guys," Jack announced to his pit crew, "We kicked ass in practice, but having a few fast laps doesn't mean we're set for tomorrow. We had a good win last weekend, and I wanna continue the streak this time around! And I'm sure most of you wanna, too! Guess what I'm saying is keep up the good work, and don't slack tomorrow! Have a good one, everybody!"

Jack waved a "goodbye" wave to the crew as they packed up their tools for the day, storing them in the locker built into the pit box. As Jack was walking back to the helicopter, he sent a quick message to Colette.

<<Finished practice early; Ray decided my laps were good enough and said I could be home free earlier than normal. Should I head right to the warehouse?>>

Twilight watched as Rainbow Dash entered the room, initially chastising Dennis in her head for bringing the brash, rainbow colored mare into the discussion. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash responded quite seriously, seemingly taking legitimate concern for Twilight's emotional debacle.

"I know you're the loyalest of all the ponies," Twilight said to Rainbow Dash, "And I shouldn't have doubted you for a second."

She didn't doubt Rainbow Dash at this moment, but she still doubted the meaning of this dream. Of course, Twilight saw Jack as some sort of master dream interpreter, like the fable of Joseph and the Egyptians, a rather unrealistic portrayal of Jack's "dream reading" capabilities. Despite rather exaggerated and overestimated projected capabilities, Twilight felt that Jack would be the best person to talk about strange dreams, and elected to talk more seriously with him when he returned from the racetrack.

"So, what's wrong, Fluttershy?" she asked in a very understanding tone.

"You shouldn't worry so much, Twi," Logan, who had been privy to the whole conversation, says as he stands, sliding his firearm into its holster at his waist, "Friends remain friends, no matter the distance - be it physical or metaphorical. You guys share a bond stronger than any other I've personally witnessed on this planet," He moves so he is standing closer to the rest of the group, "Just because you were bestowed with the title of Princess, doesn't mean you're going to stop being friends. My family is spread out over the entirety of the country, and yet we still remain friends."

Colette went up the stairs to the hallway closet, grabbed a pair of towels, and quickly made her way back down. "Try not to lose your mind too much, Dash. Gym equipment is expensive!" Colette warned as she handed the Pegasus the towels. "And don't snap people in the ass with the towels, or any other Jock shit like that!"

He looks down at his hand for a second before casually stating, "It's almost to bad that I can't use my transformation magic on anyone but myself. Your hair'd be done in less than five seconds," he shrugs, "But anyway, I am ready, whenever you are."

They had not gotten very far, however, before the sound of more cars pulling up caught the brunette's attention. It was Nick - the relative to Charles - and another man whom she gathered was to be the DJ for Pinkie's shindig. Nick called out to them, asking if they'd like to give a hand in carrying the equipment inside. Angie shrugged, and looked to Shawn, "I suppose we could give them a hand, yeah?"

"Nothing for you to worry about," Cicada replied. She wasn't sure about revealing the presence of the Hive Mind just yet.

Rarity wore a stylish off the shoulder dress in aquamarine blue, with matching heels. Her hair was done up in an elegant chignon.

Clare grinned at Diliges and went off to do her hair. The hair dye she used was vegetable based and semi permanent, which suited Clare as it meant that she could change her hair colour whenever she liked. The rainbow hair took a little longer to do, as every shade had to be done separately, but she was finished and ready to go in time for she and Diliges to leave for the Pinkie Party. Clare had her eyes outlined in thick black eyeliner, with silvery glitter on her eyelids. Her lipstick was dark pink. She wore a short black velvet skirt, black leggings, a sleeveless velvet top, and a pair of black patent leather platform boots. She smiled at Diliges. "Are we ready to go?" she asked.

Cat and Jack made their way from the pit area to the helipad, where the helicopter awaited them. Right before boarding, however, Jack still smelled the aroma of pig meat, and recalled the bacon stand. Happy about his performance, he figured, since he was in a good mood, he'd do Colette a favor.

"Excuse me for a sec," Jack said to Catherine, motioning towards the bacon stand, "I think I owe Colette a little something."

He stopped at the bacon stand, pulled out his wallet, and slid a five dollar bill across the desk.

"I'll take a bacon wrapped in bacon dipped in bacon flavored bacon sauce sandwich, please," Jack said to the lady behind the counter. The woman proceeded to lean over to the grill, where the piggy delicacy was cooking. Wrapping it up in a piece of aluminium foil, she handed the treat to Jack.

"Thank you for your business," she replied in a crackly and deep voice.

They boarded the helicopter, and the pilot throttled the cyclic up. It rose into the air gradually, and set a course for Racine. Upon returning, the rental Lacetti was quite hot from sitting in the Wisconsin sun for the past hour or so while the two were at the racetrack. Such heat was quickly remedied by the AC system which Jack hastily started up. After a bit, the vents finally blew a stream of cool air, which was a very welcome and refreshing departure from the baking heat of the NASCAR stock car, the Wisconsin summer, and the stuffy helicopter. Before popping the car in gear, he placed the sandwich in the cupholder and quickly whipped out his phone to send a message to Colette.

Twilight nodded as Dennis comforted and reassured her, taking a bit more ease as she lay back on the sofa. However, Rainbow Dash just exited the living room; Twilight was confused as to why she needed a towel.

"Where does that mare think she's going?" Twilight asked Dennis, "Do you think somepony will need to keep tabs on her to make sure she doesn't... er... do anything stupid?"

She knew full and well how unpredictable Rainbow Dash could be. Her history in this world has proven this quite well; Dash, when left unchecked, would rapidly spiral out of control. Then again, Rainbow Dash was never renowned for her world-class decision making skills to begin with.
