在连环呼啦圈表演结束后的下一秒，已经有一堆小马粉丝们聚集在了云宝黛茜的周围。显然，她很出名，西拉诺船长和她的船员们试图退后，让所有的小马都有机会前去观摩，但海盗们现在都忍不住冲过那些簇拥的马群们想向黛茜去表示祝贺。

他们一生中都从未见过如此壮观的场面！也许那次云宝黛西和她的朋友们一起鼓励说服他们不再为风暴大王工作并再次变回酷炫海盗的那一刻除外。但即使是她当时直接表演的彩虹音爆都没法与现在闪电飞马们一起表演的专家级团队飞行特技相提并论。

“太不可思议了！”西拉诺船长咯咯地笑着。她把长着羽毛的胳膊举向空中，称赞着这次的演出。“那个最后以巨大的小马样式收尾的壮观焰火？我们见过你的表演，但还没见过这样的。”

“干得好，孩子。” 博伊尔友好地推了她一下。“虽然之前我还不确定这整个飞马表演是否值得我们去放弃我们的传奇冒险日程表，但我很高兴船长还是想带我们一起来看看。

“来嘛，我永远不会把你们大家带错方向了，”西拉诺船长开玩笑道：“嗯，至少是不会再这样了，我坚决不会了。”他们给风暴大王打工的日子已经过去很久，现在西拉诺确保她和她的船员们都在追寻的只有冒险，时不时还收获了一些友谊。

“谢谢，伙计们。”云宝黛茜脱下了她那黄蓝相间的闪电飞马制服。“你们能抽出时间来支持我的小节目，对我来说意义老大了。”她窘得脸都红了。到目前为止，云宝黛茜已经和闪电飞马表演了上百次了，但不知为什么，她感觉让这些超级酷炫的海盗们亲眼目睹了这一切，让她觉得自己有点傻。她必须找一个让他们从连塞拉斯蒂娅都不知道的地方赶了那么远的路来到云中城后很配得上他们值得一来的冒险。”她脑子里开始冒出了一个想法。

“嘿，船长！”云宝黛茜脱口而出。“既然你们都在这儿，我带你们大伙逛逛云中城怎么样？”

“观光？”穆雷大副调整了一下眼罩，咧嘴一笑。“我真的很喜欢有一位好导游可以带我们观光一下！你怎么说，博伊尔？”

“当然。”博伊尔咕哝了一声，用钩子指着远处高耸的天气工厂。“我们能去参观那里面吗？”

“参观里面会包晚餐吗？”莉克斯哼了一声。那个老厨师的脑子里总想着吃的。“别忘了——我们在旧船上可把最好的食物都给了你和你的朋友们噢！”

云宝黛茜陷入了回忆，她们在西拉诺的船上结识的海盗朋友们都很棒，但她不得不想赶紧忘记那里的美食。在那之后的几个星期，她的味蕾都还忘不掉这种糊糊状的灰色稀粥的味道，她大概吃了萍琪派为了很乐意摆脱这味道烤的三十多个纸杯蛋糕，才逐渐把那味道忘掉。

“为啥这么问，当然会包啊——我们家里可还有好多食物呢。”风哨子在云宝刚要开口前朝她们喊道：“我之前可专门去了超级云朵9超市买了不少东西来准备迎接我们可爱小黛西的朋友们来访。”风哨子的目光看向莉克斯并压低了声音道：“我们的运动员可有着成年雄驹的胃口噢…”

“妈你确定吗？”云宝黛茜问道，忽略了母亲的那一小声评论。“我打赌大伙们肯定想来尝试一家云中城高级餐厅或是一些…”

“好啦别想啦！来一些老面包土豆意面三明治听起来怎么样？”趵虹补充道，对云宝黛西扬了扬眉毛。她的父母很清楚，如果有一样东西让她无法抗拒，那就肯定是她最喜欢的比赛膳食。在她还是小幼驹的时候，她几乎是什么都不吃。

“我还从来没有听说过这个…”西拉诺船长挠了挠她长着羽毛的下巴，沉思着。船员们倾身向前，等待着她的消息。“这就意味着…这是一场全新的冒险——一场美食冒险，去吃老面包土豆意面三明治！”她把一只爪子放在臀部，另一只爪子指着云宝黛茜家的方向，海盗们欢呼起来，云宝黛茜的父母也加入了他们的行列，领着他们进了厨房。

后来，当她环顾着满屋子都是家马们和朋友们的时候，云宝黛茜感到她的心里充满了幸福，现在，她要做的就是填饱自己的肚子。

The second after the Loop-de-Loop Hoopla show had concluded, there was already  a  crowd  of  adoring  pony  fans  gathered  around  Rainbow  Dash. Apparently, she was famous. Captain Celaeno and her crew tried to hang back and let all the ponies have their turn, but the pirates couldn’t help but rush over and push through the crowd to congratulate her.
They had never seen such a spectacle in all their lives! Except perhaps the moment in which Rainbow Dash and her friends had convinced them to stop working for the Storm King and be awesome again. But even the Sonic Rainboom she’d performed back then didn’t hold a candle to the expert flight patterns of the Wonderbolts performing together as a team.
“That was incredible!” Captain Celaeno gushed. She threw her feathered arms up in the air to illustrate the maneuver. “That loopy thing that ended in a giant, pony firework? We knew you had moves, but not like that.”
“Nice job, kid.” Boyle gave her a friendly nudge. “I wasn’t sure this whole flying pony show thing would be worth leaving our swashbuckling schedule for, but I’m glad the captain made us come check it out.”
“Come on, I’d never steer you wrong,” joked Captain Celaeno. “Well, at least  not  again,  I  won’t.”  Their  Storm  King  days  were  long  over.  Now Celaeno made sure that she and her crew were chasing nothing but adventure. And friendship from time to time.
“Thanks,   guys.”   Rainbow   Dash   peeled   off   her   yellow-and-blue Wonderbolts mask. “It means a lot to me that you would take time off and support my little show.” She blushed pink with embarrassment. Rainbow Dash had performed with the Wonderbolts a hundred times by now, but for some reason knowing that all these supercool pirates had just witnessed it made her feel a bit silly. She had to make the journey they’d taken all the way to Cloudsdale from Celestia-knows-where worth their while. An idea began to form in her head.
“Hey, Captain!” Rainbow Dash blurted out. “While you’re here, how about I show you birds around Cloudsdale?”
“A tour of the sights?” First Mate Mullet adjusted his eye patch and grinned. “I do love me a good guided tour! Whaddya say, Boyle?”
“Sure.” Boyle grunted and pointed his hook at the towering Weather Factory building in the distance. “Can we see what’s inside that, there?”
“Does it include dinner?” Lix Spittle grunted. That old cook always had food on her bird brain. “Don’t forget—we fed you and your friends our finest slop aboard the old ship!”
Rainbow Dash cringed at the memory. The friends they made onboard Celaeno’s ship had been great, but the cuisine was something she’d rather forget. The taste of the powdery gray gruel hadn’t left her taste buds for weeks after. She’d eaten probably thirty cupcakes, which Pinkie Pie had been happy to make, to try to get rid of it.
“Why, of course—we’ve got plenty of food at home,” Windy Whistles interjected before Rainbow Dash could open her mouth. “I went shopping at the Supercloud 9 in preparation for our dear Dashie’s visit.” Windy leaned in to Lix Spittle and lowered her voice. “Our little athlete has always had the appetite of a grown stallion. . . .”
“Are you sure, Mom?” said Rainbow Dash, ignoring the comment. “I bet these   guys   want   to   try   one   of   Cloudsdale’s   fancy   restaurants   or something. . . .”
“Horsefeathers! How does a fresh batch of pasta-and-potato sandwiches on sourdough sound?” Bow Hothoof added, raising his eyebrows at Rainbow Dash. Her parents knew if there was one thing she couldn’t resist, it was her favorite,  carb-loaded  food.  As  a  filly,  she  had  practically  refused  to  eat anything else.
“I’ve  never  even  heard  of  that. . . .”  Captain  Celaeno  scratched  her feathered chin and considered. The crew leaned in, waiting for the bird’s official   word.   “Which   means…   it’s   a   brand-new   adventure—a   food adventure. Onward to pasta-and-potato sandwiches!” She put one claw on her hip and pointed the other in the direction of Rainbow Dash’s house. The pirates cheered and Rainbow Dash’s parents joined in, leading the way to the kitchen.
Later, as she looked around the house brimming with family and new friends, Rainbow Dash felt her heart filling up with happiness. Now all she had to do was fill up her tummy, too.
