The next morning, Apple Bloom woke up early to get food for her guest, before any of her family members see her getting the food. When she went into the bedroom, she saw Malbourne spreading his wings in front of the window. She put the food down and went to get him away from the window. "Bourne, what are you doing, you should be careful," Apple Bloom said getting him to sit down. He simply fluff his wings and ask if she has any food for him. "Well, this is some of what we have, (putting a bowl of oats, some apples, and a pitcher of water with a cup tied to the neck of it) now eat up, if you want to get better soon," Apple Bloom said. He took one sniff of the food than he throw his head in disgust and shake his head. "What's wrong?" Apple Bloom asked noticing his disgust towards the food she brought him. "I don't know what kind of gruel this is, but I know this is not what I want to eat to get better from my hoof and wing," Malbourne explained. "Well sorry, but I needed to sneak this past my family, what do you want to eat then?" Apple Bloom asked angrily. Malbourne then explained, "I require the eggs of the finest fish, salad covered with the tears of the despised and an oversize serving of well cooked meat." Apple Bloom look at him funny, when he said fish, than simply said, "Ugh, I don't think I can sneak all that here without my family noticing." Apple Bloom decided to disregard that and simply took the cup from the pitcher and pour some water for him, when the two heard a call for her name. "Apple Bloom, get down for breakfast, you have a full day of apple-bucking ahead of you today." "Coming Granny Smith," Apple Bloom responded. "Alright Bourne, I have a lot of chores that needs to be done today, I want you to stay in this room, get some rest and try to make sure that non of my family see you or what this bedroom has become. I'll be back later alright, see yeah," Apple Bloom told him as she got up and went downstairs after closing the door. After she left, Malbourne used his red magic to turn the oats into caviar, an apple into a salad without the tears, another into a big ham covered in glaze and two rings of pineapple and the last two into a set of utensils and a set of napkins. After he was done with his meal, he used the napkin to clean his mouth when he heard noises from the outside. He went to the front of the window and saw Apple Bloom, kicking the trees with her back hoofs in order to get the apples from it. "She told me that she was busy with chores, but she is wasting time, she doesn't need those trees to strengthen herself, this town looks obnoxiously peaceful," Malbourne said to himself and used his magic to make himself invisible and left the room. When he left the house and went outside, he became bothered by the light as he use his wings to block the sunlight. "Gah, I hate this light, I can't wait to conquer this land so I can get rid of this annoying light," Malbourne told himself when he spotted Apple Bloom, checking the baskets filled with apples. He was about to use his magic to control any pony, when all of a sudden, another call for her name came out. The call came from Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, coming over to tell her "hi" and ask Apple Bloom if her sister have arrived home. Because of the two, he had to halt his plan to get Apple Bloom to go back to healing him when he noticed Scootaloo's wings. He thought in his head, "This one will surely get home, but I need to test her of course." In order for him to test Scootaloo, he use his magic to get her away from her friends, into the sky and past the clouds. This made the remaining crusaders panic and Malbourne to silently judge over what happen while Scootaloo loudly scream as she tried to fly. The two didn't know what to do and in their panic, Sweetie Bell unknowingly bump into Malbourne, catching Apple Bloom's attention. When she wanted to check it out, Sweetie Bell remind her that Scootaloo is in danger because of her wing disability, getting Malbourne to become surprise. Just when they all believe Scootaloo is going to get hurt, the sounds of clopping hoofs heading their direction came up and a rainbow appeared and it caught Scootaloo. The sound of the hoofs came from Applejack, who came running noticing that Scootaloo was above Sweet Apple Acres, to see what is going on at the farm. "Are you fillies alright, what happen?" Applejack asked. "We're fine, it's just Scootaloo was somehow thrown into the sky, and we don't know what happen," Sweetie Bell explained. It is then that Applejack told them that she and the others just got off the train when they saw Scootaloo flying far in the air: this made Rainbow Dash fly to catch Scootaloo before it is too late. Rainbow Dash came down to the group, carrying Scootaloo on her back, accepting her thanks. It was soon after that, the sound of more hoofs came again, coming towards them and it is revealed to be Rarity, who believe that the situation has to deal with the crusaders and she needed to check on Sweetie Bell. "What are you girls doing?" Rarity asked looking for Sweetie bell, than ran towards her. The trio explained that Scootaloo was simply thrown into the air with no indication for magic and they didn't see any strange pony coming by the farm who send Scootaloo to the sky. "But there has to be a reason, I mean Pegasus don't just spontaneously fly like that?" Rarity asked after looking at both Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "Well, we do that easily, even when we don't notice it, but you (pointing at Scootaloo) I don't think you would be able to pulled that off anytime soon," Rainbow Dash explained. "Are you all sure that any strange pony didn't came by and did something?" Applejack asked getting a head shake from Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo. While the two answered, Apple Bloom didn't answered or move her head, to Applejack noticing. When she call her out, Apple Bloom said, "Huh, oh I didn't see any strange pony using magic to send Scootaloo flying. "Hhmm, I didn't ask if any of you know how Scootaloo fly." Applejack pointed out with suspicion. After Apple Bloom was called out for it, Rarity decided to take Sweetie Bell home and Rainbow Dash decided to carry Scootaloo home to give the Applejack and Apple Bloom some time alone. "How would you know that there might be magic here?" Applejack asked. Before Apple Bloom got a chance to answer her, the sound of apple-bucking occurred, getting Applejack's attention and to their surprise, a silhouette appears by the trees. Apple Bloom recognize it as Malbourne while Applejack suspected that as what Apple Bloom saw. Applejack went to chase the silhouette believing it is real, but he use his horn to disappear in the wind by using his magic and wings. Applejack saw him and regard him as a skilled unicorn, as she saw the horn shape on his head but never notice the wings. After that, Applejack went back to Apple Bloom to ask her more questions regarding the silhouette, until she heard her name coming from her granny. "Applejack, did you just get back from your trip?" Granny Smith asked as she came out of the house. She went up to hug her and not long after, her brother Big Macintosh came in to hug his sister after her trip. Apple Bloom used this moment to sneak away to check on Applejack's bedroom. When she made it to the door, she hesitated to open it as she began to think about the consequences of her older sister finding out what happen to her bedroom, or finding Malbourne and having to explain him. When she started to get lost in her fears, she was brought down by the call of her name by Applejack, who came by when she wasn't paying attention. "(Small Scream) Applejack, what are you doing here?" Apple Bloom asked. "I live here and I'm a little tired from my trip and like to sleep," Applejack explain as she went to the doorknob. "Wait, don't you want to hang out with all of your friends or get some apple-bulking this season?" Apple Bloom asked hoping to stall her. "As much as I want to get some apple-bucking done, I'm really tired. I thought about staying in time for Apple-Buck season, but we really needed to see how that town is doing since we help free them from Starlight's philosophy. And boy, Party Favor and Sugar Belle know how to throw a party cause I am tired," Applejack explained as she started to twist the knob before she realize something. "Wait a moment, have you been to my room, because you seem scared of me going to my room?" Applejack asked getting her to simply nod her head in fear. When Applejack open the door she took one look of her bedroom and became surprise over what is in there. "Apple Bloom, You really have been in my bedroom have you?" Applejack asked observing what is in the room. Apple Bloom simply nod and was about to confess about Malbourne when Applejack said, "Well at least you could have cleaned up after yourself young lady, cause this room is a mess." Apple Bloom became more surprise then Applejack and went inside the room, only to see it is back to the way it was before Malbourne changed is outlook, only the bed is a mess, the dressers are open, and the plates from earlier are on the floor. Apple Bloom look in surprise until Applejack assured her that she isn't mad about it as she is tired and made Apple Bloom promise that she will clean up the bedroom. Apple Bloom quickly agreed as AJ jump onto the bed in exhaustion: Apple Bloom immediately began to clean her bedroom by taking the dirty plates from earlier in the day. She put the dishes in the kitchen sink and went back when she heard the sound of magic coming from her bedroom. She went to investigate and what she saw was Malbourne, sitting on her bed, brushing his wings using his magic. "Bourne, why are you here and what did you do?" Apple Bloom asked in fear. "She took her room back and I was considering looking for a way home and desire some more set of wings," Malbourne explain continuing to brush his wings. "And what does wrecking my sister's bedroom has to deal with… Wait, were you the one who toss Scootaloo earlier?" Apple Bloom asked. He said nothing but continue to brush his wings: his quiet notion gave her the idea that he did do it and he is not willing to talk about. "Look, if you want to go home, I'll help you. You don't need to toss my friend, I am willing to help you go home, just let me help, just like I help your hoof and wing get better," Apple Bloom explained. He asked why she is willing to help him go to his home to which she replies, "Because I don't think any pony should travel back to their home after getting injured, even when it is small because you look my age." The two looked at each other very calmly until Apple Bloom heard her granny, from downstairs, say, "Apple Bloom, time for dinner." "Coming," Apple Bloom yelled than looked towards him and explain, "Look, I'm going to dinner alright, than I am going to clean my sisters' room, and take a bath before I am going to bed, ok. If you want food, (Opens a window) you can use your magic to take some of the apples from our trees alright, but don't take too many, my family will notice if too many are taken." When Apple Bloom left the room, she closes the door, leaving Malbourne to ponder about Apple Bloom's willingness to help him, as he use his magic to get an apple and turn it into a small cooked lamb. After he finished the lamb, he brought out his journal and his quill and he start to write down what happened that day. During writing, Malbourne kept thinking about Apple Bloom's willingness to help him get home, as well as when he saw Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. After some time, Malbourne looked at his journal and realize that besides the names of the three, he unknowingly draw their respective cutie marks. He questioned himself as he know that no one in his kingdom, whether they are an elder or his age, have a mark on that area. "These marks, why did I draw these, and why am I captivated by looking at them?" Malbourne asked himself. When he stared at them for some time, he realize, that he needed to redecorate the bed so that he could sleep like before, although he started to have thoughts about Apple Bloom, such as where is she going to sleep since this is her bedroom and he feels weird about taking over her bed. When he heard steps coming, he decided to use his magic to create a new bed in a frame with the same cold, red-gem design as how he designed AJ's bedroom. The footsteps from earlier came from Apple Bloom, heading to her room, relaxed and sleepy. "Greetings Apple Bloom, tomorrow we shall find a way for me to get home, right?" Malbourne asked. "Yawn, sorry but tomorrow, I have some apple-bucking that needs to be done: it's a tradition in my family that we should get the apples from the trees on this farm and sell them to the ponies in this town and beyond. We are only finished with apple-bucking when all the trees don't have any more apples." Malbourne thought about it and asked when it is appropriate to stop. "I guess when all of the apples on the trees on this farm are off the trees. And we stop for the day once the sun goes down and we continue on until we are all done," Apple Bloom further explains. Right when she was about to close her eyes, Malbourne felt bad for her and her family, knowing that most of them are in his terms filths, use his magic which is now orange, to get Apple Bloom into the bed that he popped up. When he tuck her in the bed, he let her sleep as he thinks about what her family goes through and believe that this is what her family do for many years. When he finish thinking about Apple Bloom's family, he decided to try to assure that she will not have to deal with it the next day. He went out the window with his wings that got better early that day as well as his hoof, and seek out the nearest apple tree. At first he tried a gravitational spell on a tree, but it ended up being strong enough to smash some of the apples. "Darn it," Malbourne told himself seeing the apples and seeing the many trees that remain. It is then that he realize that he knows two spells that will help him. To do this, he went up to a tree and place a spell on an apple: it then created a small ring around the apple, than it grew in size, all the way to the entire orchard. When the ring finally stop growing, he focus his magic and brought his attention to the apple and ends the night with the sound of his whip.
