Twilight Sparkle woke to anther boring morning. Even the birds looked bored. As she stared out the window, the sun slowly rose. Spike yawned, then sat up in his bed.
"So, what we gonna do today?"
"Um...I don't really have anything planned."
Spike lays back down, then pops back up.
"You mean I can spend the entire day with Rarity?"
"Sure, but I thought you were stalking her, not spending time with her."
"Same thing." he growls.
Twilight yawns, then heads downstairs.
"What you want for breakfast?" she yells from the kitchen.
"I dunno, whatever you got."
Twilight puts two sapphires and one ruby in a bowl.
"Come and get it."
As she makes herself some breakfast, she hears some fillies yelling.
"By the sound of it they're right outside my house."
Twilight hears knocking at the door, and she walks over to it. Before she can get to it though, it bursts open.
"HELP MEEEEE!" Rainbow Dash yells, with the Cutie Mark Crusaders hot on her tail.
"How'd you get stuck with them?" Twilight calls from across the table.
"I seriously don't know! Just help!"
Twilight pulls Apple Bloom off of Rainbow Dash's wing.
"We wanna go exploring!" they say in unison.
"Fine. Me and Rainbow Dash will take you to the Everfree forest after breakfast."
"Why did I get roped into this?" Rainbow Dash groans.
Twilight finishes of breakfast, the takes the Cutie Mark Crusaders to Everfree. As soon as the get in there, something starts moving in the bushes. Rainbow Dash takes this instantly as a way to show off.
"Look how brave I am!" she yells, going head first into the bushes. A minute later, Twilight hears someone yelling.
"Rainbow?"
"No, Broken Heart." A white pony comes out of the bushes. As Twilight looks closer, she sees that Rainbow Dash is behind her. The pony appears to be a full grown unicorn, and she is wearing a hooded cape. Her red mane covers one of her silver eyes. Rainbow Dash comes out of the bushes, with twigs and leaves stuck mane.
"Who the heck is this?" asks Rainbow, flashing a glance at Broken Heart.
"Again, it's Broken Heart!"
"Why do you live here?"
"Dunno." Broken Heart plucks a leaf from Rainbow's mane. She blows on it, and the forest starts singing the same tune.
"Woah!" Scootaloo yells."Guys come here!" She points to her cutie mark. A shield with two swords is printed on her flank.
"How'd you get that?"
"I'm good at sword fighting."
"Cool!" they yell. "Can you show us?"
"Sure." Broken Heart pulls out a sword from a sheath. She throws up five apples, and flies up. She slashes them neatly in fourths.
"You're a unicorn and a pegasus?"
"It's called an alicorn." Twilight Sparkle chimes in.
"Well since you're here why don't you come to my home?"
They follow her in silence.
