A filly Twilight Sparkle forgot to bring a book to read on the train, and now faces a horribly boring afternoon...

Or, she does until she notices another filly reading. Surely she can sneak a peek, right?

Octavia made a promise to Pinkie Pie – not just any promise, but a solemn Pinkie promise. Unfortunately for Octavia, she then became busy and forgot all about it. Her grim failure didn’t even register until the pink nightmare came to find her.

Octavia deeply regretted her mistake, but by then it was too late. It was only a matter of time – because no one can hide from Pinkie for very long.

The walk back to the convention starts out so smoothly....until Rainbow Dash does something she probably shouldn't have.
