Danyelle, Bluestar, Thunder, Dusk, Silverstorm, Katie and I had gone with the Mane Six plus Spike on the train to Appleloosa.

Danyelle was chatting with the ponies.

The young hawk was shivering since she was afraid.

Silverstorm spoke "Lillian, I think the young hawk is scared."

"Oh she's just scared about going somewhere she doesn't know." I answered while trying to calm Katie down.

Danyelle spoke "Probably since the only place she remembers is Ponyville in her time..."

"Yeah and speaking of which Applejack is that the tree we're taking to your cousin in Appleloosa have its own cart while we're all in a cart together?" I asked the cowpony.

"Bloomberg needs his rest since we're giving him as a gift to my cousin not to mention we're kind of full of apple trees back home." Applejack says.

"Really, you named the tree Bloomberg?" I asked.

Danyelle spoke "Don't be rude Lillian."

"Hey I'm not judging just curious." I say before looking out the window seeing how late it was getting. "Well I guess we should get to bed, sun’s going down."

Dusk spoke "I agree, since the youngest of us need sleep."

Danyelle was drifting off while curling her tails around the two sleeping infants by her belly.

Later that night as we sleep the others started asking each other if one or the other is a sleep yet until their conversation changed to Fluttershy being a tree up to the point Spike was fed up and slept in the cart that had Applejack’s tree.

Danyelle picked her two adopted children up and followed Spike since the noise was bothering them.

Danyelle yawns "Night Spike..."

"Night Dany." He says before going back to sleep.

Danyelle yawns "Yeah..."

The blue nekomata-gryphon was soon asleep.

The next morning, the train cart we slept in started shaking. When we felt the cart shaking and when we looked out the window, we were surprised to see a herd of buffalo.

Dusk spoke "I've never seen one before~! They're so cool~!"

"Yeah I seen buffalo before but never a stampede of them." I added.

"I just love their accessories." Rarity says complimenting the feathers they have on their heads.

"Hmm I feel like them wearing those reminds me of something." I say before thinking and as I was Twilight commented on how close they were getting until they started ramming the cart we were in.

Dusk clung to Twilight.

Katie clung to me.

Dusk spoke "I heard of the style once... I think it's Native American.... It's something from my old world..."

Back in the cart, Dany and Spike were in the bed they were on was moving side to side while the buffalos kept ramming the train until Pinkie noticed the buffalos jumping on top of one and another before a smaller one jumped on the train from the back of one of the bigger buffalos.

Dusk spoke "I got a bad feeling about this..."

"It sounds like they're heading to the cart with the tree, Rainbow come on we have to stop them." I stated as I turned to Rainbow.

"Already on it." She says before flying through the emergency exit on the roof of the train.

"Katie, stay here with the others." I say turning to the young hawk.

Katie stayed near Twilight.


*Meanwhile*

*Danyelle's POV*


I shook Spike awake.

I spoke "Spike, wake up!"

"Five more minutes." Spike says trying to cover himself with the blanket.

I squawk loudly like a rooster at Spike, jolting him awake but it was too late. The female buffalo had unhooked the last train cart before calling off the other buffalo.

I groan "Of all the times to not have a warp ring on hand, this is the worst time!"

When Spike woke up, he ran to the door looking out the window seeing what's happening. "Help!" He called out seeing the others from the main train as we moved apart from each other.

I calm Spike down.

I spoke "They will find us."

"I hope your right Dany." Spike says as he starts calming down.


*Later with Lillian and Rainbow (Lillian P.O.V)*


After Rainbow and I fell off the train, we were left stranded somewhere in Appleloosa so we tried finding our way to the buffalos.

Rainbow spoke "Come on Lillian, we have to find them!"


*Near the Buffalo territory*


A calico female nekomata Mobian was asking various buffalo if they had seen her twin brother, but none of them had seen him.

As me and Rainbow were near the buffalo territory she was talking about how she'll get back at the little buffalo for tricking her that was until we encountered Pinkie. "Pinkie pie." Rainbow says surprised to see the pink party pony.

"Oh, you caught me looks like I tricked you and didn't get away with it, either you're good." She says.

"What are you doing here we thought you were on the train with the others." I asked.

"I followed you two, silly." She says happily.

"Well you got to get out of here." Rainbow told her.

"I do?" Pinkie asked.

"You're gonna blow our cover." I added.

"I am?"

"We're trying to save Danyelle and Spike." Rainbow says a bit annoyed.

"Oh my gosh, so am I!" Pinkie says excitedly.

"Pinkie the more of us that's out here, the more chances of us getting caught." I say to Pinkie, but the moment I did, buffalos surrounded us. "Pinkie run, me and Rainbow will hold them off.” I say getting ready for a fight, but before anything could happen we heard Spike telling the buffalos to stop.

Danyelle walked over before speaking “It’s all cool girls, the buffalo didn’t mean us any harm.”

After that, the buffalos ran off after seeing there was no trouble. "Would someone mind telling me what's going on?" I asked.

"Sure follows we'll tell you back at the buffalo village." Spike says as he and Dany lead us to the buffalo village.


*In the village*


Chewing on a piece of cuttlebone that was in her mouth, Danyelle spoke "Girls, meet Chief Thunderhooves. He's the leader of the tribe. And this is Little Strongheart, she may be young but she's got the heart and strength of an adult buffalo."

"Welcome honored guests, I am Chief Thunderhooves, leader of this tribe." The buffalo leader says as he greeted us.

"Um hello Chief Thunderhooves it's good to meet you too." I say greeting the chief back. "If you don't mind me asking Chief why did you take the tree we were bringing?"

"Well my feathered friend you see we have a long and winding stampeding trail that we have run upon for many generations." The chief says before how has father before him stampeded through the land along with his father’s father and so on.

"I think they get the idea chief." Strongheart says to the chief.

"It is a sacred tradition to run the path every year, but this year, these settler ponies, these...[snorts] Appleloosians." He says snorting in anger before Strongheart took over.

"They planted apple trees all over it without asking our permission." She says not happy.

"Well, that's not very nice." Pinkie added. "Right Lillian and Rainbow Dash."

"Hmph." Was Rainbow's only response.

"Well I don't know about Rainbow but I kind of agree with you Pinkie."

"The settler ponies refused to move their trees, so we are stuck here, and it's not fair!" Strongheart says saddened that they can't continue their tradition.

Danyelle spoke "I understand how you guys feel... My older adopted brother hates being confined to one place all the time, he loves to run. But maybe, we could work something out with the others... And no Pinkie, you can't sing a random song, that will only provoke a war."

The calico nekomata was eating a slice of an apple pie that she had made, which had gotten the attention of a few buffalo.

"Um Dany, who's that also think you should tell her to put that apple pie away because she's getting looks from the buffalos."

Danyelle spoke "I think that might be Ben's twin sister..."

The calico nekomata asks "Uh, why are you staring at me?"

"I think they're looking at you because of the apple pie so I think you should put it away and we should also go to the town to talk to the ponies about this." I say to Ben’s sister.

The calico nekomata finished her snack before getting up.

Getting up as well, Danyelle spoke "She might be onto something though Lillian."

I was already gone heading towards the town when Dany spoke to me.

Danyelle took flight while airlifting Little Strongheart as RD, Pinkie and the calico nekomata followed her.

Danyelle spoke "Wait up Lillian!"

As we walked to town, I turned to the calico nekomata. "So miss mind telling me your name, Dany never really said what it was all she said that you're Ben's sister." I asked.

Sarah spoke "I'm Sarah."

Katie soon tackled me since she was worried about me.

I smiled hugging the young hawk. "Hey Katie sorry for leaving you like that I promise not to leave you again."

Katie asks "For realzies mama?"

"Yes for realzies." I say before realizing what she said. "Wait I'm sorry what did you call me?"

Danyelle was snickering, as was Little Strongheart for some reason.

Katie spoke "Nothing!"

"Um uh okay." I say a little bit confused before turning to the others. "Anyways guys, we need to talk to the settlers about the buffalo."

"Of course any information will be mighty helpful." Braeburn says walking up to us and before him or Strongheart could've talked about their problems Rainbow and AJ started talking the behalf of both of them arguing on why the trees should stay and why the trees had to go.

Danyelle spoke "Enough! You shouldn't be fighting over something so petty! Like Tempest said that one time when some of us met Zecora, Sisi Ni Sawa. It means we're the same."

"Yeah and there has to be something we can do to settle this." I added.

"I have an idea." Pinkie says as we all turned to her. An hour later, all the settler ponies and buffalos were gathered in town.

Danyelle was with Pinkie.

Danyelle spoke "I think I should pick the song Pinks."

"Aww okay Dany Wany." Pinkie says a little disappointed.

Back in the crowd, I was wondering what was going on. "What is that crazy party planner planning?"

Danyelle spoke "You can sing it with me then."

Dusk spoke “Not just her, that blue cat is planning something too."

"Dusk, her name is Danyelle, remember that okay." Twilight says to Dusk.

Dusk spoke "Okay mom."

Twilight was surprised at what Dusk had called her.

Silverstorm was holding Bluestar and Thunder in hir arms.

Danyelle sings an altered version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V5jXGnQjoA with Pinkie and a few other ponies.

With help from Applejack, Sarah had made enough apple pies for every pony and buffalo while Danyelle and Pinkie sang.

Chief Thunderhooves spoke “Perhaps, it is a time for change. We buffalo were so set in our ways that we did not see the bigger picture. Very well, the orchard can stay as long as there’s apple pie!”

And so, the settler ponies clear a path through the orchard to let the buffalo stampede route happen once again.

Twilight Sparkle spoke “Dear Princess Celestia, Friendship is a wondrous and powerful thing. Even the worst of enemies can become friends. You need understanding and compromise. And thanks to Danyelle’s choice of song, I realized that no matter what one looks like on the outside, we’re all the same on the inside. We shouldn’t judge others for what they are. Even I learned a valuable lesson from this, Sisi Ni Sawa. We’re the same.”
