"You can do magic?" AppleBloom said, amazed. "But you're so young!" 
"Maybe you'll get a cutie mark in doing spells!" Scootaloo said excitedly. 
"Yeah." Sweetie Belle smiled nervously. "Maybe." 
"Well go on." said AppleBloom. "Show us some of your tricks!" 
Sweetie Belle nodded and looked around. She spotted Winona, running around the apple orchard, even muddier than before. "You haven't given Winona a bath yet?" She asked AppleBloom. 
AppleBloom sighed. "I've tried, but I just can't catch her." 
Sweetie Belle concentrated on Winona. In her hair, Forest placed a hand delicately on her horn, unseen by the other fillies. 
AppleBloom and Scootaloo gasped as Winona was surrounded by a shimmering green light and lifted into the air. Sweetie Belle concentrated harder, making the dog soar over their heads and into an open wash tub. 
Winona struggled, but nothing she did could stop the assault of sponges and soaps being scrubbed over her. Sweetie Belle lifted Winona out of the tub and back into the air, where she dried her off using a variety of spins and loopty-loops.
"Whoa." AppleBloom said. "You really are good!" 
Sweetie Belle grinned; this was great!
