It was now 7:30 PM. It rained for half an hour, then because of the cold temperatures, the rain on the sidewalks turned into ice.

पन्ना Ivy: *Exits her खरीडिए after closing it, then slips on ice. She prevents herself from falling, then walks back into her shop* Time to get the salt.

Lots of other ponies were getting salt on the sidewalk to get rid of the ice. It would take a long time to get rid of the ice, but as long as it worked, they didn't care.

पन्ना Ivy: *Pours all of her salt in a small area* There we go. Now that will get rid of the ice very quickly.
Saten Twist: *Slowly walking द्वारा पन्ना Ivy* आप should spread that salt out to get rid of और ice.
पन्ना Ivy: No, I wanna get rid of all the ice in a certain spot.
Saten Twist: Sounds a little selfish. आप should get और parts of the sidewalk so everypony won't have to worry about landing on their face.
पन्ना Ivy: Why don't आप do it?
Saten Twist: *Kicks the salt*

The salt moved further down the sidewalk, and covered और parts then before.

Saten Twist: How do आप like that?
पन्ना Ivy: Nice.

Meanwhile at Lexi's house, her family just finished having dinner.

Aurora: Okay. So tell me about what happened during, and after school.
Lexi: Anything in particular आप wanna know about?
Barry: Tell us what happened now.
Lexi: Shut up dad, I wasn't talking to you.
Aurora: Don't talk like that to your father.
Barry: I'm gonna go upstairs. *Walks away*
Lexi: Did I do something wrong mom?
Aurora: I don't know. आप tell me.
Lexi: No.
Aurora: That's not true.
Lexi: Well, why are आप अभिनय like आप don't know what I did? Clearly आप know because of the way you're acting!
Aurora: Do not raise your voice.
Lexi: I'll raise my voice if I want to raise my voice! How come everything I do is bad now?!
Aurora: आप vandalized a building. Vandalism is serious. आप can't be doing that anymore.
Lexi: Okay, I won't.
Aurora: And about school, I signed आप out of the karate class.
Lexi: What?!
Aurora: Sweetheart, it's very obvious that आप keep getting in arguments with that stallion Jesse. He's a very nice pony, and gave आप a compliment when आप acted like an idiot.
Lexi: What are आप talking about?
Aurora: आप bragged about some हटाइए another टट्टू did, and tried to do the exact same thing, but आप failed.
Lexi: Hey! Who do आप think you're talking to, huh?! आप wanna go to war?!
Aurora: You've been watching Scarface too much.
Lexi: I don't have time for this. *Walks away*
Aurora: While you're leaving the dining room, go to your bed. You're grounded until tomorrow morning.
Lexi: AHHH!!!
Barry: *Comes back downstairs, and goes to Aurora* that kid can be a handful.
Aurora: Why are आप whispering?
Barry: come on, let's get out of here.

Barry took himself, and his wife to his white PT Cruiser, and started driving on a long road.

Lexi: *Watching her parents leave* Perfect. Now is the time to practice for the storm.
Aurora: Where are आप taking us?
Barry: Remember that dance club in Ponyville आप wanted to go to?
Aurora: Yes.
Barry: That's where we're going.
Aurora: *Shocked* Barry Baricza, आप shouldn't have.
Barry: Well I figured आप needed a break from Lexi, and since she's grounded, we have enough time to do what we want.
Aurora: Aw, you're so thoughtful. *Leans on Barry*

They arrived at the dance club, which played jazz music. As they entered this song was playing. Start it at 1:45: link

Dance Club Pony: Welcome.
Barry: Thanks.
Aurora: Thank you.
Dance Club Pony: You're welcome. Have fun.
Aurora: Why don't we have a drink before we go out there to dance?
Barry: Okay. *Follows Aurora to the bar*
Aurora: *Sits down at a तालिका, टेबल द्वारा a saxophone hanging on a दीवार on display* This is a really nice place.
Barry: I knew आप wanted to come here for a long time, so I decided to get us here right as soon as I heard आप sad आप grounded Lexi.
Aurora: Will she be okay द्वारा herself?
Barry: She's a twelve साल old alicorn. What makes आप think she won't be fine द्वारा herself?
Aurora: Just asking.
Waiter: *Arrives* Good evening.
Barry: और like bad evening with the rain, and the temperatures dropping to 7 farenheit.
Waiter: That didn't happen.
Aurora: We're from Frenchtown.
Waiter: Oh, I see. Well maybe tomorrow will be better for you. What would आप like?
Aurora: Let me have a bottle of Bud Light.
Barry: I'll just have water.
Waiter: Coming up.
Barry: We're gonna go out to dance. Will आप let us know when our drinks are ready?
Waiter: Yes sir. Have a good time.
Aurora: Why can't we wait?
Barry: Because I wanna dance. *Goes to dancing floor*
Aurora: *Follows Barry*
Barry: This song is almost over, so let's wait for the अगला one to start, then we'll dance.
Dance Club Pony: Okay, we're gonna give our records a break, and let our band play a few songs. They came all the way from Florida to play for us, या at least, one of the trumpet players did.
Ponies: *Laughing*
Dance Club Pony: Okay, do your stuff.
Jazz Band: *Playing music*
Barry: *Dances with Aurora*

They were having fun. Lots of other ponies were dancing around them as the संगीत was played.

Waiter: *Arrives* Your drinks are ready.
Barry: Already? That was quick, thanks. *Stops dancing, and goes to the bar*
Aurora: *Follows Barry*

While they were having their drinks, Barry watched the other ponies dance.

Jazz Band: *Playing music*
Ponies: *Dancing to music*
Aurora: *Drinks her beer*
Barry: *Looks back at Aurora, then drinks his water*
