“Taylor get up!” Twilight shouts 

 

“I’m nocturnal and in hibernation!” Taylor shouts back nailing the door with a pillow. 

 

While truth it doesn’t stop the pink menace from trying to wake her up. Pinkie suddenly comes crashing in through the window. 

 

“That window was sturdier than the 4th wall… anyways Taylor you need to get up! I’ve got your welcome to equestria sorry it’s a week late party planned for right now.” Pinkie says 

 

The mattress is flipped into the air in what could only be defined as cartoon physics. Taylor is launched out of the broken window onto the grass outside. Sticking the landing not even flinching.

 

“Load flares…” Taylor growls out.

 

“Hey…”

 

“What do you mean no? I don’t care how badly she scares ”hey!!” What!? What do you mean she put cake in the galley… she got in to the ship!” Taylor shouts in shock.

 

“H-hey.”

 

“Fine we’ll leave the pink party god alone.” Taylor says with some anxiety in her voice.

 

“Yes I would recommend that Taylor.” Says Luna’s voice

 

“Wait Luna?” Taylor asks turning around to see her teacher.

 

“I couldn’t miss my students shindig now could I?” Luna asks

 

“Well a thousand years without a Shindig or Soirée. I doubt we could keep the party princess away.” Taylor says with a smirk

 

“How many times must I say I won’t paint the moon red for your amusement student of mine.” Luna says 

 

“Did you run out of goat blood?” Taylor mutters 

 

“What!?” Luna shouts in shock 

 

“So pinkie party? Are you okay Luna you look kinda spooked? I mean yeah pinkie is terrifying just don’t tell her that.” Taylor asks

========================

 

Taylor walks back into the castle to see Pinkie has once again broken the laws of physics. The castle has windows everywhere yet it’s pitch black in the entryway.

 

Taylor clears her throat which feels weird as a pony.

 

The world suddenly lights up 

 

“SURPRISE!!!!” Shouts dozens of ponies 

 

Taylor squints at the crowd.

 

“Echo how did you get here?” Taylor asks 

 

“I don’t know! That pink thing just showed up!” Echo says slightly panicked.

 

There is a sigh from farther back in the room.

“Pinkie you can’t just foal nap ponies.” Twilight says the disappointment clear in her voice.

 

“It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Pinkie says in response.

 

“Echo do you wanna meet some friends of mine? We could sneak out and have some fun.” Taylor whispers with a smile. 

 

“Sounds like Fun Taylor.” Echo says

 

Taylor motions for Echo to follow as she tracks down the cutie mark Crusaders.

 

===============

Upstairs in Taylor’s bedroom.

 

“Oh my gosh a bat pony!” Sweetie shouts 

 

“You’s ain’t from Ponyville are ya?” Apple Bloom asks 

“I’m from Maretime bay.” Echo answers ignoring sweetie 

 

“What are you doing here then?” Scoot asks

 

“Pinkie did a pinkie thing.” Taylor says 

 

“Wait! How are you gonna get home!” Sweetie shouts

 

“Well I’ve got a plan for that!” Taylor says pulling out a design and rolling it out on the floor.

 

“Woah.” Scoot says 

 

“Yep! Say hello to the airplane.” Taylor says with a smirk. 

 

The paper has a design for a PO-2 utility plane. The bi plane should be more than enough to hold the fillies and without the engine it should be easier for it to lift off the ground.

 

“What is this thing up here?” Apple Bloom asks pointing to the propeller.

 

“That’s what the propulsion should be coming from however twilight isn’t done with the magic engine yet. So scoot, you up to push this thing and fly with your wings for once?” Taylor asks

 

“Yeah!” Scoot shouts excited.

 

“I’ll get the materials.” Apple Bloom says 

 

“I’ll tell twilight I’m taking echo home.” Taylor says with a smile.

 

“Where is Echo?” Sweetie asks

 

Taylor looks around realizing she’s not in the circle anymore.

 

“She’s over here gals.” Scootaloo says from atop the bed.

 

Taylor looks over to see echo asleep on the bed.

 

“Right she’s nocturnal.” Taylor says in realization

 

=====================

Back down stairs with the party.

 

“Taylor seems to have disappeared.” Luna says to Twilight 

 

“Yeah, she’s good at that. As long as she’s not with the cutie mark Crusaders we should be fine.” Twilight says 

 

“Now that you say that Twi, I haven’t seen Apple Bloom in bout a few.” Applejack says 

 

“We need to check outside now!” Twilight shouts in panic rushing towards the door.

 

Several of the ponies at the party also follow trying to see what has the new princess worried. The door burst open to see some sort of contraption on the dirt road. Twilight recognizes an airplane that Taylor was working on the design for a day before. 3 Fillies are in a compartment where the engine should be, Taylor is in the pilot seat, and Scootaloo is in the navigator seat.

 

“Fuel pump?” Sweetie asks

 

“Scoot you good?” Taylor asks

 

“Yep!” Scoot responds from the navigator seat. 

 

“Flight controls?” Sweetie asks 

 

Taylor tests the controls watching the rudder, Aileron, and Elevator.

 

“Free and correct.” Taylor says 

 

“Taylor what are you doing!” Twilight shouts 

 

“Go scoot go!” Taylor shouts in panic.

 

“On it!” Scoot replies as she starts flapping her wings.

 

The ponies of ponyville watch in shock and awe as the machine takes flight. It does a circle over town before taking off north over the Everfree.

 

“Hey Twilight I went to find Taylor but found a note in her room that says they would be taking Echo home.” Spike says 

 

“She is so grounded when she gets back.” Twilight says
