At The Everfree Forest
The girls and Spike were in an already familiar area,or,a forest to be specific.
“So you have any idea of what she looks like?”He asked.
“Yes,we saw some pictures so we know how she looks,”Rarity replied.
“So I of all of us don’t know how she looks,great!”He annoyed exclaims
“Don't worry you are not going to confuse her with someone else!She and Discord don’t look exactly the same but they’ve got some similarities,”Twilight cheered up.
“How do you think she’ll react when she finds six ponies and a dragon in her doorstep?” Applejack asks.
“I have absolutely no idea,” Twilight replies.
“Maybe she’ll know who we are and she’ll let us inside for a talk?O o!Maybe she will be a good hostess and bring us tea!I hope she has chocolate milk too!I mean,who else taught Discord how to create that chocolate milk?Her obviously!”Pinkie happily bounces around.
“I hope she doesn't know who we are actually,” Rainbow concerned flies besides Pinkie while she bounces around.
“Yeah,if she knew who we are I think she would be more mad at us than Discord!”Rarity tells.
“Yep!I reckon she would,if six mares who once turned my brother into stone came into my house,I would kick them out of my dorstep!”Applejack assures.
“Me too!I think there’s a high chance she would do the exact same thing,”Spike tells.
“Alright,so if she at least has heard of our names,she would likely hear about us imprisoning her brother in stone,so if she asks our names we will just think of fake ones!”Rainbow suggests.
“Emm..But what if she also knows how we look?And by the way,is there another purple alicorn that she might confuse Twilight with?”Applejack ironically asks them.
“Yeah...good point,but I don’t think it would be a good idea to hide our identities from her,high chance she’ll know who we are,and I think she would be offended if we tried to fool her,try to fool the actual spirit of order would be a stupid idea,I guess as the spirit of order she knows who tries to trick her,”Twilight points out.
“True,well,at least we are near Zecora's,maybe she knows her?Because Zecora wouldn’t miss another house in the forest!”Spike suggests.
“Maybe she knows something,well,we’ll stop by!And of course to say hi.Haven’t seen her since that incident with the swamp fewer,”Twilight agreed.
“Oh,don’t remind me of that!”Fluttershy tells her.
“Oh sorry!But it’s true,anyways I think we’re almost there,”Twilight tells.
After ten minutes they all were outside Zecora's hut,Spike then knocked at Zecora’s door and it opened to reveal her.
“Hello there friends of mine!To what do I owe the pleasure to see you once again?”Zecora greets them.
“Hello Zecora!” They all said.
“Might enter inside?”Twilight politely asked.
“Sure,please do come in,and excuse me for such a noticeable mess,”
As they entered inside,they saw that Zecora house was indeed messy,some bottles were thrown in the floor,masks were in the ceiling,bubbles floating in the air and a strange but not awful smell could be sniffed.
“Phooey,Zecora,what happened in here?” Applejack asks her,looking in the ceiling.
“It’s actually a pretty big story to tell,I was trying to make a truth spell,and I accidently added a little too poison joke and it resulted to turn my house into that mess that is seen,”Zecora explains.
“Didn’t turn out so well as you see,”
“Need some help to clean it up?” Applejack offers.
“Oh no,don’t bother with that,but thanks for your offering,”
Everyone saw the hut and knew it was a mess worth a day to clean,but they also thought of why they came here in the first place.
“So,what’s your need?Because you seem anything but calm,”She guessed.
“How do you-”
“A friend of mine taught me how to tell what someone needs by the way of the expression that comes from the face,”Zecora answers to Twilight.
‘THUMP’ A loud noise was heard.
“AAAAAAAAAAHH!” All expect Zecora screamed.
“No worries my friends,it’s just a fallen mask,”She assures as she walks and picks up the fallen mask.
‘One down,eight to go,’She thought.
“Alright,so Zecora,might we ask something?”Rarity questioned.
“Sure my friend,ask what you need and I’ll try to give the answer right away,”She assures as she cleans the mask with a towel and places it in the wall.
“Zecora,with all due respect ,but,did you know that there is another being living in the Everfree forest besides you?That lives here much more than you?”Applejack asked.
“Well,emm,I..I don’t know what you are implying!I know no other being living here,” She obviously lied.
“Zecora...We are well aware that there is another one living here,and we guessed that you would know her.Arrist if memory serves,”Applejack said.
“How do you know about her?Did Discord..?”Zecora shocked looked at them.
“Yes,and we presume that you also know that she is his sister?” Twilight asked.
“Yes,I encountered her when I first came to this forest.Back then no pony would talk to me,but I needed a place to call home,when I first encountered her,she instead was afraid of me,but after assuring her that I didn’t mean her any harm,she actually turned out to be very friendly,then I asked her ,with no fear of her appearance, if there was maybe a spare house,and she suggested me this tree that I now call home.Since then we became friends ,but she kindly asked me to not tell anyone about her existence or that she is Discord's sister.I wanted to inform you about her after Discord’s freedom but I had to hold my promise and keep my mouth shut,”She explained
”So he told you,I expected that one fateful day he would finally tell you,”
“Yes and we wanted to know where she lives,” Fluttershy revealed.
“And since you live here we guessed that you have seen her,”
Rainbow continued.
“Of course,I can show you the way to her house,she doesn’t actually live that much away from me,we are basically neighbours,she lives near the castle of The two Royal sisters as myself,so I am a bit surprised you never noticed,”She admitted.
“Are you sure you don’t mind?Seems you have some cleanup to do,”Rarity points at the place with her hoof.
“Nuh,I’ve cleaned worse in a day anyways,besides,I too always wanted to reunite those two siblings,but seemed that I alone couldn’t help them,a friend’s need is more important than a cleanup anyways,”
“Well,might show us the way then,”Spike said.
Then Zecora and the others went outside in the forest and Zecora silently led them into their destination until she stopped a few metres away from a house.
“This is it,” Zecora tells as she points with her hoof the house.
“That was fast actually.She doesn’t live far away luckily,”Rainbow exclaimed.
“Yes,now I must go,good luck with her my little ponies and dragon,but she isn’t fearful or rude but instead kind and polite so you might not need it afterall,”She then walked back to her home.
“Bye Zecora thanks for showing us the way,”Fluttershy thanked her.
“Now we have to knock on the door….who’ll do it?”Rarity exclaimed while they were all seven walking the stairs to the master of chaos’s sister’s house
“Emm,Fluttershy,I think you should!Well since you are the Element of Kindness,I can’t imagine how she looks!”Spike suggested.
“Spike!Don’t be rude!” Twilight said.
“What?I am not joking!I have no idea how she might look!”He told.
“Well,I mean maybe Twilight should!I am just saying,”She suggested otherwise.
“You are kidding?I am not facing his sister!”She defended.
“Oh chickens!I’ll do it”Rainbow determined told and then;
‘KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK’
She knocked
No answer
"Knock again,maybe she didn't hear it," Twilight tells.
"Really.."She then again knocked
'KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK'
"Maybe she isn't home," Pinkie guesses.
"Oh..All this way for nothing!" Applejack pissed tells
But then
the door started to open slowly!
"So...she is afterall," Pinkie whispers.
“Gulp,” Spike gulped as he didn’t knew what he might face in front of him.
