At Lexi's school, she was waiting for homeroom to be over so she could go to her first class. It was an extra curricular activity at another building, so she had to ride the bus.

Lexi: *Impatiently sitting at her desk*
Teacher: *Typing a message on her laptop*
Principal: *Turns on loudspeaker, and talks into a microphone* Good morning. It is now 7:30 AM. Please stand for the pledge of alliegence.
Lexi: *Stands up with everypony else in the room*
Everypony in school: I pledge allegience to the flag of the United States of Equestria, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all.
Lexi: *Runs towards the door*
Teacher: Walk to the bus.
Lexi: *Ignores her teacher*

Lexi got on the bus, and rode to where her karate class at the Katana Karate School. There were also some ponies from high school in the class, including brand Vi Equestria, and Jesse.

Katana Sun: Good morning students. I hope u had a veilig journey from your school.
Students: Yes.
Katana Sun: Good. Now for today's lesson, we will practice kicking.
Jesse: *Imitating Patrick Star* Kicking? I wanna do some kicking.
Students: *Laughing*
Katana Sun: Hahaha. Very funny Jesse. That's why I like you. You're a very bright stallion. I bet everypony in the Delaware Valley Regional High School enjoys your company.
Jesse: Yes they do.
Lexi: Delaware Valley? Where's that?
Jesse: It's actually not far away. Do u know where Senator stout road is?
Lexi: Yeah.
Jesse: It's right there. I actually go to that school. Other ponies call it Del Val.
Lexi: Oh yeah. I wanna go there when I pass middle school.
Katana Sun: Alright, enough chit chat. Let's start our lesson. brand Dash?
brand Vi Equestria: Yes master?
Katana Sun: u don't have to call me master. Just call me Sun for short.
brand Vi Equestria: Okay sun.
Lexi: *Slightly annoyed* u sound like his father.
Katana Sun: I want u to be the first pony to kick the bag hanging from the ceiling.
brand Vi Equestria: I got it. *Jumps, and kicks the bag twice before landing on his hooves*
Katana Sun: Well done brand Dash.
Ponies: *Clapping*
Katana Sun: Never have I seen a pony with the capability of kicking the bag twice in a single jump.
Lexi: Oh please, I could do that. *Walks towards the bag*
Katana Sun: Okay Lexi. Do your best.
Lexi: *Jumps up, and kicks the bag, but as she tries to kick it a seconde time, she hits the ground, and does a split*
Jesse: Very close. u did good though.
Lexi: *Stands up* Shut up. I don't need u making fun of me.
Jesse: I wasn't. I zei u did good.
Lexi: You're probably being sarcastic.
Katana Sun: Lexi, u need to control your anger. That is a very important thing to do in life.
Lexi: Not for me.
Katana Sun: I think we must have a talk.

Meanwhile, Orion, and Snowflake just exited the town of St. Foalis in their helicopter.

Snowflake: How many days do u think it will take us to reach Trenton?
Orion: Oh I don't know. Probably three days.
Snowflake: I'd say five days. We'll see who gets it right.
Orion: I heard we may get caught in a snowstorm door the time we get there.
Snowflake: A snowstorm? Why would they send us out there then?
Orion: I don't know. They think we might get there before it arrives. What I don't understand is how we're the closest company to Trenton. We gotta be at least four hundred miles away from there.
Snowflake: I don't know. With prices going down for gasoline, and oil, maybe some companies just decided they weren't making a profit, and closed down.
Orion: That could be true, but no matter what, we gotta get this job done.
