"Your a baby dragon!!!" Fluttershy said all excited.

"Please don't tell App-... Wait, whatcha say?" Apple Bloom asked.

"A baby dragon, that's what you are right?" Fluttershy asked.

"Uh yeah, ah am a dragon!" Apple Bloom said as she sigh in relief at the fact that Fluttershy didn't recognize her.

"And you talk too! Do you have a name, where are you from, do you know my friend Spike?" Fluttershy asked with an almost Pinkie Pie excitement.

"Well my name is A- uhh Alice!" Apple Bloom said making up the name on the spot. "That's right, my name is Alice! Ah'm new here, so ah don't think ah've met your friend..."

"Oh then you have to meet him. He's a dragon also and one of the nicest friends I know. So I know you'll like him, come on!" Fluttershy said as she pushes her to the direction of Twilight's Library.

"No wait... Ah don't think that's a..." Apple Bloom said trying to talk her out of it, but Fluttershy was too excited to listen.

Mean while at Twilight's, Spike had just come in with the items he was sent to get.

"Hey Twilight, sorry I'm late." Spike said as he puts everything away.

"Spike, what happen? You were gone  longer then I thought." Twilight asked.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I ran into Apple Bloom who was in a hurry for some reason and I accidentally dropped everything as she ran by."

"Oh really, did you see where she was heading?" Twilight asked.

"Well, it look like she was heading for Zecora's."

"Zecora's huh..."

Just then, Twilight heard a knock on the door. She open the door to find Fluttershy on the other side.

"Hello Twilight." Fluttershy said.

"Oh hi Fluttershy, What brings you here?" Twilight asked.

"Oh I came over to introduce you to a new friend I just met." She said as she moved aside to introduce her friend. "This is Alice, she a dragon like Spike."

"Well hello there Alice, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said as she greeted the young dragon.

"And I'm Spike, hey Alice!" Spike said also greeting her. 

"So how are you today?" Twilight asked.

"Um hi, ah'm alright..." Apple Bloom said hoping they don't recognize her.

"Are you new in town?" Twilight asked.

"Y-yeah, ah just came into town. But ah won't be staying here for very long though." Apple Bloom said.

"Oh really, well you should at the very least check out Ponyville before you leave!" Twilight suggested. "Spike, why don't you show her around!"

"Oh ah don't wanna be a bother." Apple Bloom said.

"I don't mine, come on!" Spike said as he took Apple Bloom by the hand.

"Have fun two!" Twilight said as she giggled at how cute they looked together.

"Huh...?" Fluttershy said as she wonders why Twilight just giggled.
