At the steps of the emerald green castle, the group of ponies were gathered together to see the Unicorn of Discorded Equestria. "Here, here, here, wait a minute! Stop, stop, stop! It's all right!" A pony guard named Rainbow Dash said. "Every...It's all right! Everything is all right! The Great and Powerful Trixie has got matters well in hoof. I hope. So you can all go home, and there's nothing to worry about." Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy made their way through the crowd, and went up to Rainbow Dash as Apple Bloom said "If you please, miss. We want to see the Unicorn right away. All four of us." "Orders are nopony can see the Great Trixie! Not anypony, not nohow!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, but we must!" Apple Bloom said. "Orders are not nopony! Not nohow!" Rainbow Dash said. "She's in conference with herself on account of this trouble with the changeling queen. And even if she wasn't, you wouldn't have been able to see her anyway on account of no pony has not even us in the castle!" "Oh, but-but please!" Apple Bloom said. "It's very important!" "And-And I got a permanent just for the occasion." Fluttershy said.

"Not nopony! Not nohow!" Rainbow Dash said. Suddenly, the horn blew, and she said "Pardon me. We've gotta change the guards." She left, and the crowd started to leave as Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy ran to the castle door. Apple Bloom knocked on the door, and Rainbow Dash opened a small hatch on the door, and looked down on them as she said "Now, what do you want?" "We want to see the Unicorn!" Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy said at the same time. "Not nopony! Not nohow!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's what the other pony said." Rairty said. "But she's Apple Bloom!" Pinkie Pie said pointing at Apple Bloom. Rainbow Dash looked at Apple Bloom as she said "The alicorn's Apple Bloom? Well that makes a difference. Just wait here, I'll announce you at once." She then closed the hatch, and took off. "Did you hear that?" Pinkie Pie asked feeling excited. "She'll announce us at once! I've as good as got my brain!" "I can fairly hear my heart beating!" Rarity said. "Ah'll be home in time for supper!" Apple Bloom said. "In another hour, I'll be Queen of the Forest!" Fluttershy said. "Long live the queen!" Her friends stared at her, and she blushed in embarassment as she said "I...uh...would be a kind, and fair queen, of course."

"Would you be a courageous queen as well, darling?" Rarity asked. Fluttershy smiled, and said "Oh, yes. I would be a kind, fair, and brave queen, and protect my animal friends." Just then, the door opened, and Rainbow Dash stepped out as she said "Go away! The Unicorn says go away!" She then entered the castle, and closed the door. "Go away?!" Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rairty, and Fluttershy said at the same time. Then, Apple Bloom started to cry as she said "Oh." "Looks like we came a long way for nothing." Pinkie Pie said. "Oh, and Ah was so happy!" Apple Bloom said as tears ran down her face. "Ah thought Ah was on mah way home!" "Don't cry, Apple Bloom." Rarity said as Rainbow Dash opened the small hatch on the door, and looked down on them. "We're going to get you to the Unicorn." "We certainly are!" Pinkie Pie said. "How? How are we?" "Would-Would it do any good if I roared?" Fluttershy asked. "Who at?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I don't know." Fluttershy said. Apple Bloom sobbed as she said "Auntie Applejack was so good to me, and Ah never appreciated it. Running away, and hurting her feelings. Professor Trixter said she was sick. She may be dying, and-and it's all mah fault! Oh, Ah'll never forgive mahself! Never, never, never!" Rainbow Dash had tears running down her face like a waterfall as she sobbed, and said "Oh, oh. Please don't cry anymore. I'll get you into the Unicorn somehow. Come on. I had an aunt once." Apple Bloom finally stopped crying as the castle door opened, and Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy slowly went inside, and the door then closed behind them.
