	Thunder Strike got a legal document that said that signing it made you agree to help the person in question, and made Gilda sign it. They had to hold a huge thing in Canterlot, and Thunder made sure to attract a large crowd. All of them watched Gilda sign it. It was even made super ultra official by having the royals (other than Cadence, she had somewhere to be). Afterwards, there was much laughing. Gilda was willing to sign, but didn't bother reading the fine print. They decided to fly to the meeting spot. When they got to Ponyville, everyone gasped when they saw Gilda. Lily could be heard screaming her trademark,"The horror, the horror!" The pair just casually walked over to Applejack and the rest of the travelling party, completely ignoring the stares towards the very hated griffon and the newly accepted changeling.

"Thunder, why the hay is Gilda here? She doesn't exactly like Ponyville." Thunder made a Trollestia face.

"Why, because she's my legally bound slave of course!" Everyone made a 'wut' face.

"I never agreed to this," Gilda protested. If Thunder had fingers, she would have waggled one.

"Oh, yes you did. It says so on page twelve, paragraph eight." She argued, showing the piece of parchment. "Octavia signed a copy while she was sleeping. She should be here soon." Everyone, excluding Gilda, made a Trollestia face, Gilda making a 'FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!' face. "We should do something while we wait for her."

"Drop the bass," a voice suggested.

"Breakdance," said another.

"Knitting!" Everyone stared at Pinkie Pie. "What? You think bad of knitting, judging Pinkie?" Everyone ended up making something. A scarf, a pair of mittens, or a stuffed penguin, no matter what it was, it was probably made that day.

"I'm here!" Everyone watched as Octavia arrived. "I need to break the habit of signing legal documents in my sleep."
