Twilight was pacing back and forth next to a tall tree in the park when Rainbow Dash and a girl in a green outfit came by.
"Hey, Twi." Rainbow greeted. "What's up?"
"Spike is trapped up there!" Twilight replied while panicking. 
Twilight pointed up to where Spike was hanging. He was tangled up by a kite string.
"How did that happen?" Rainbow asked.
Twilight gave a panic filled explanation. "A little girl was playing with a kite when the wind blew it out of her hands. The string wrapped around Spike, and carried him up there. The wind died down. But, Spike is trapped!"
Twilight was crying quietly as Rainbow and the girl in green looked up, and saw the situation.
"Looks like this is where YOU come in, Jillian." Rainbow advised.
"I think you're right, Rainbow Dash." Jillian replied. She went to the tree and turned to Twilight. "Don't worry, Twilight. I'll get him down."
Jillian started to climb up the tree. Twilight was surprised about this scene. Rainbow Dash went over to comfort her. "Don't worry, Twi. If anyone can help Spike, Jillian Beanstalk can do it."
"Jillian Beanstalk." Twilight thought out loud. "Where have I heard that name before?"
Jiullian reached the branch where Spike was tangled. She comforted the little dog. "Don't panic, Spike. I'll get you out of this."
After untangling the kite,  Jillian has Spike in her hands, and called to Twilight. "I have Spike free from that nasty situation. Get ready to receive!" Suddenly, she lets go of the dog. "Catch!"
As Spike was falling, Twilight used her magic to stop him, and levitate him down to the ground. Meanwhile, with kite in hand, Jillian climbed down the tree to the ground. Sees a little girl coming, and presents the kite to her. "Is this your kite, little one?"
"Yes, it is!" The girl answered as she takes the kite. "Thank you."
The girl walks away with the kite as Twilight has Spike in her arms again. She then turns to Jillian, grateful for rescuing her canine friend. "You were very brave up there. How did you learn to climb so good?"
"I learned all of my climbing skills from my father." Jillian replied.
Suddenly, a thought came to Twilight's head. "Now I know where I heard your name before. Your father is Jack from the story, Jack and the Beanstalk. Am I right?"
"You guessed correctly, Twilight. I'm glad someone did some research."
Spike soon asked Jillian his own question. "Doesn't your dad's rival, the Giant, have a young relative who goes to your school?"
"Yes." jillian answered happily. "His nephew whose name is Tiny. That young fellow is as large as his uncle."
Twilight then turns to Rainbow Dash. "Is there anything about that school, Ever After High, that's NOT full of surprises?"
Rainbow chuckled as she gives a comical reply. "I don't think so, Twi."
