That morning, there was a big argument between Mother and Daughter. Faust brought up questions such as: 'Why is he here?' and 'Do you know him?', whereas Tia argued that she couldn't just leave him on the doorstep. The battle raged on in the great hall, leaving the colt alone in the living room. Woona was supposed to be watching him, but the sudden yearning for a cookie before her Mother and her Sister got back was too much to bear. Woona entered the kitchen, eyes gasping longingly at the cookie jar on the high shelf. She took a few steps back until her hindquarters were half-ramped up the fan at the wall. The fan turned on as Woona stood on the button, but Woona didn't notice. It was time. She galloped across the Lino tiles, hooves clopping on the floor. She spread out her wings in preparation. She jumped into the air. She started to flap. It suddenly dawned on her. She was flying! The soon-to-be Princess of the night was flying! Woona wasn't actually flying, but just being floated along by the fan's breeze. But now is no time to be ruining a fillies fun, is it?

Meanwhile, back in the living room, the colt was doing some light reading about the elements of Harmony. They seemed to be somewhat of a myth instead of a legend, due to the fact that rarely anypony had any proof that they were real. 'Harmony' was so enraptured in the book that he didn't notice that Woona had disappeared. It was only when he heard a small cry for help that he realised his Captivator was no longer in the living room. He dashed through the unfamiliar halls until he reached the place of the cry for help's origin; the kitchen. Woona's head was enveloped with a cookie jar, and she was running around like crazy, trying to get the jar off. The sweet sound of Harmony's voice relaxed Woona, allowing him to take the jar of he head. After looking into Harmony's deep sweet brown eyes, the Princess of the Night began to sob into his shoulder. At that moment, Faust and Celestia burst into the room to assist Harmony and and Woona.

Celestia groaned as she and her little Sister were told off; mainly because Tia hadn't done anything. Harmony was thanked for rescuing. Luna, and was allowed to stay in one of the guest rooms. As he got used to his new room, the two young Princesses had to stay downstairs to have a 'Mother to Daughter' conversation. After scoldings and more boring stuff, Celestia couldn't fight the urge. It had been in her mind since this morning.

"What is the matter? Today you have been acting strangely weird. First you forgot to raise the sun and lower the moon until I reminded you, then you got angry at me for being nice to a colt with Amnesia, now you're getting mad at me even though I haven't done anything! Why are you acting like this?"

The sudden abruptness of Tia's question made Lauren's right eye twitch with anger. The two blocked their ears for the sudden rampage their Mother was about to go on, but it never came. Lauren remembered that her children had no idea why she was acting this way. It was time to explain.

"I... I just want you to be ready. I want you to be able to look after yourselves, and be able to be good Princess for when... *sigh* I suppose I will have to go on, won't I? i can't just leave you without the foggiest idea what I am on about. The truth is I'm leaving. I can't take it anymore, being in a castle with so many memories of him, and it is about time I move on. Tomorrow, you will wake up to see none of me, for I will already be gone. Where am I going? I don't know. But just know I won't be coming back. I am so sorry."

Celestia and Luna looked teary-eyed at their Mother. Nothing mattered anymore. Celestia was no longer listening to where they would be staying at who with, but she did pick up she'd be living in a castle in the Everfree forest. But she didn't know why she was listening. Luna was all ears, but Tia's mind drifted elsewhere. What would she do with Harmony?
