After the Equestria games was announced to be held in the Crystal Empire, a certain gem eater had proven his worth to Twilight and her friends as a pet sitter. So, when Fluttershy had to make an unexpected trip, she relied on Spike once again to take care of Angel Bunny, with the promise of gems for him when she returned. Even with the newly found camaraderie between the dragon and the tiny terror, it was always prudent to have some backup in case Angel felt like being difficult. That in mind, Spike recruited the Cutie Mark Crusaders to assist him for the day. He was right to do so, because Angel soon ran off to the train station, seemingly in order to relive their previous adventure together. Charging at the train the four attempted to retrieve the bunny before anything untoward happened to it, but without any gems to trade for tickets, Spike and the Crusaders were unable to board. With time quickly running out, they had to ask the next adult they saw for assistance. Fortunately for the children's sake, the adult they asked agreed to assist them. The ticket taker had to let them on, once the great and powerful good samaritan came with them as a paying chaperone. Once on-board, they were able to retrieve Angel before the train left the station. Later, the conductor asked the ticket taker what had happened, because he had been acting unusual. The ticket taker said "I just saw something unusual today. A silly rabbit, and Trixie's four kids."
