“You can never make me turn my back on my friends!” ranted Rainbow Dash.

After Rainbow untied Twilight Sparkle and her allies, Twilight told her, “You’re a true, blue friend, Rainbow Dash!”

Meanwhile, I saw some purple arrows on the floor of the Everfree Forest.

The arrows led the princess and me straight to her old castle!

“Your Highness!” cried Twilight Sparkle and her allies as the princess and I finally met up with them.

“Everypony,” announced the princess, “this is Fluttershy.”

All of Twilight’s allies told me their names.

“HALT!” shouted Nightmare Moon, into whose chamber we had just intruded!

“There can only be one princess in Equestria,” she ranted, “and that princess will be me!”

I flapped my wings, flew up, and looked her square in the eyes!
