A few days later, it's the day of Noel's birthday and Rosalee and her brother, Gav throws her a birthday party to celebrate. As they sing "Happy Birthday" to her, Noel just beams with joy. After they finish singing, they enjoy some cake and ice cream and then Noel receives her gifts.
"How sweet," says Noel as she opens up the gift from her brother, "it's a music box with the two of us inside of it. I love it. Thank you." She embraces her brother in a hug.
"You're welcome," responds Gav with a smile. "I knew you'd like it."
Noel then lets go of the embrace and opens the gifts from Rosalee. After she opens them, she begins to squeal. "I love you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You're welcome," responds Rosalee as she messes up Noel's mane.
A few minutes later, the two go and pull an extra gift out of the closet and hand it to Noel. "What's this?" asks Noel confused.
"Open it," responds Gav. "Go on."
Noel then tears open the paper and opens the box. As she looks in, she stares at the item within. "It's a carved wooden statue of me, Babs, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. It's so pretty. It's hoof painted too." As she holds the gift in her hooves, the CMC and Babs look on from the window outside.
"I'm glad she loves it," says Apple Bloom.
"Same here," responds Sweetie Belle.
"Mmhmm," adds Scootaloo, "it's definitely something she'll treasure for a long time to come." The three then leave their spot behind the window and return to the clubhouse where they tend to other ponies that need their help. The friends are glad they were able to give Noel a meaningful gift. Now, they just wish they could get her to build up more confidence when it comes to facing her bullies. They'll get their eventually, but eventually may not be soon enough for Noel and that's what scares them the most.
