“I told you I’d come right back!” Applejack told her allies, now that they were all back together and on the correct path.

“We’d be lost without you, Applejack!” cried Rarity, whose eyes started to produce tears!

“Aw, shucks,” answered Applejack with a sheepish grin.

“I have no more use for this,” thought Rarity, referring to a conductor’s baton that she was grasping with her horn, which she tossed away quickly!

I gasped as I saw something spinning through the air right in front of me!

After the spinning thing hit the forest floor, Princess Celestia lifted it with her horn and showed it to me.

“It’s a baton,” I remarked upon seeing what had come flying toward me.

“Whose could it be?” wondered Celestia aloud.

Meanwhile, the Shadowbolts had Rainbow Dash’s allies tied up!

“It’s them or us!” hissed the leader of the Shadowbolts.

“You!” answered Rainbow Dash.

She turned away from the Shadowbolts to rescue her four allies.
