As they sailed on their ice boat, Applejack said "Applejack scores again! Whoopie!" She tossed her axe in the air, and it landed in the ice. She picked it up, and licked the tip. She sighed, and said "Nothing." "Uh, Applejack? Where are we going?" Scooteroll asked. "You're going to stay with me." Applejack said. "And we'll all be rich with the biggest silver strike this side of Equestria Bay. Silver!" "I thought you wanted gold." Sweetie Belle said. "Ah changed mah mind." Applejack said. Scooteroll and Sweetie Belle just shrugged. The ponies were really on their way, but not one of them knew where they were going. Back at Scooteroll's home in Ponyville, Rainbow Blitz felt pretty bad about the way he had treated Scooteroll. He knew the only thing to do was to go out, and look for his little colt. Rainbow Dash wanted to go along naturally, but Rainbow Blitz said "No, this is stallion's work." No sooner did the stallion of the house leave as Rainbow Dash shedded a few tears. Suddenly, Scootaloo approached Rainbow Dash, and they both decided to set out on their own. Now they were really taking their chances, because in the middle of the ice-cold ocean, the little ice boat had run into a pack of mighty wicked fog.

"Hello!" Applejack yelled out as she tried to see things through the fog. "This fog is thick as peanut butter." "You mean pea soup?" Sweetie Belle asked. "You eat what you like, and Ah'll eat what Ah like, sugarcube." Applejack said. Suddenly the ice boat washed ashore, and Scooteroll, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack yelled as they fell down. "Land ho!" Applejack said. "No kidding!" Sweetie Belle said as she recovered from her fall. "Well, where are we?" Scooteroll asked. They looked to up to see a beautiful castle made of ice crystals. "Hey! Look up there!" Applejack said pointing at an alicorn pony with a pale-pink coat, a mane that is colored dark violet, moderate rose, and pale gold, dark purple eyes, and a crystal heart for her cutie mark flying above them. "Oh!" Scooteroll and Sweetie Belle said feeling amazed. Suddenly, a jack-in-a-box with purple scales and green eyes popped out of his box, and said "Halt! Who goes there?!" "Us, of course." Applejack said. "Who did you think?" "Oh. That's ok." the jack-in-a-box said. He suddenly stopped himself, and said "Ok?! Who, may I ask, you?!" "I'm Scooteroll." Scooteroll said. "I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said. "And Ah'm Applejack." Applejack said. "Who are you?" Scooteroll asked.

"I'm the official sentry of this Island of Misfit Toys." The jack-in-a-box said. "A jack-in-a-box for a sentry?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yes." The jack-in-a-box said. "My name's-." "Don't tell me." Scooteroll said interrupting the jack-in-a-box. "Jack." The jack-in-a-box frowned, and said "No. It's Spike. That's why I'm a misfit toy. My name is all wrong. Nopony wants to play with a spike-in-a-box. So, I had to come here." "Where's here?" Sweetie Belle asked. Then some misfit toys appeared as Spike said "We're on the Island of Misfit Toys. We don't wanna stay here forever. We want to travel with Princess Luna in her magical sleigh with a pack full of toys that's also filled with joy for millions of fillys and colts on Hearth's Warming Eve. because it's the most wonderful day of the year." Scooteroll smiled, and said "Hey, we're all misfits, too! Maybe we could stay here for a while." "Well, you have to get permission from Princess Cadence." Spike said. "Who's she?" Scooteroll said. "She rules here." Spike said. "Every night, she searches all of Equestria. When she finds a misfit toy, one that no filly or colt loves, she brings it to live here till somepony wants it. She's holding court in her castle right now."

Scooteroll, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack went up the hill, and approached the castle. The door opened, and they walked inside. They looked up to see Princess Cadence sitting on her throne. "Come closer." She said as Scooteroll, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack approached, and bowed before her. "What do you desire?" "Well, we're a couple of misfits from Ponyville, and now we'd like to live here." Princess Cadence shook her head, and said "No. That would not be possible. This island is for toys alone." Applejack frowned, and said "How do you like that?! Even among misfits, you're misfits!" "Unlike playthings, a living creature cannot hide himself on an island." Princess Cadence said. "But, perhaps, being misfists yourselves, you might help the toys here." "Help them?" Scooteroll asked. Princess Cadence nodded, and said "Yes. When someday you return to Ponyville, would you tell Princess Luna about our homeless toys? I'm sure he could find little fillies and colts who would be happy with them. A toy is never truly happy until it is loved by a foal." "When and if we ever get back, we'll tell Princess Luna, miss." Princess Cadence smiled, and said "Good. You are free to spend the night." She looked at a unicorn pony doll with red dots on his coat named Shining Armor, clapped her hooves, and said "Shining Armor! Show our friends to their chambers." "Yes, you highness." Shining Armor said as he lead Scooteroll, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack to the small cabin that's a few inches outside Princess Cadence's castle.
