Plot
The Summer Sun Celebration is three days away! But unfortunately, our heroes aren't really up to celebrating. The struggle of just getting through the day seems harder than usual, and sleep deprivation isn't helping anything. And if all the stress isn't enough, a mystery is brimming through the air as our heroes scratch their heads in question.

1. Early Morning Prank
One early morning in Ponyville, Princess Twilight Sparkle is busily studying in her castle library with her assistant, Spike. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash, arrives and tells them to come with her to Tidmouth Sheds to see the new prank she and Pinkie Pie are about to pull on the engines. Twilight is reluctant at first, but Spike convinces her otherwise. At the sheds, Rainbow Dash puts on an aluminum foil mask and frightens the engines awake using a live chainsaw and laughing evilly, while Pinkie Pie records the whole thing on camera. The engines are cross with them, and suddenly, their railway controller, Sir Topham Hatt arrives and is cross as well. He explains that he can't have his engines being tired and late in the morning, and demands that Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie apologize. Then he dismisses all his engines to work.

2. Working on the Branchline
Twilight rides along with Thomas in his cab, as they ride along with Annie and Clarabel on his branchline.
