At The Everfree Forest
The girls and Spike were in an already familiar area,or,a forest to be specific.
âSo you have any idea of what she looks like?âHe asked.
âYes,we saw some pictures so we know how she looks,âRarity replied.
âSo I of all of us donât know how she looks,great!âHe annoyed exclaims
âDon't worry you are not going to confuse her with someone else!She and Discord donât look exactly the same but theyâve got some similarities,âTwilight cheered up.
âHow do you think sheâll react when she finds six ponies and a dragon in her doorstep?â Applejack asks.
âI have absolutely no idea,â Twilight replies.
âMaybe sheâll know who we are and sheâll let us inside for a talk?O o!Maybe she will be a good hostess and bring us tea!I hope she has chocolate milk too!I mean,who else taught Discord how to create that chocolate milk?Her obviously!âPinkie happily bounces around.
âI hope she doesn't know who we are actually,â Rainbow concerned flies besides Pinkie while she bounces around.
âYeah,if she knew who we are I think she would be more mad at us than Discord!âRarity tells.
âYep!I reckon she would,if six mares who once turned my brother into stone came into my house,I would kick them out of my dorstep!âApplejack assures.
âMe too!I think thereâs a high chance she would do the exact same thing,âSpike tells.
âAlright,so if she at least has heard of our names,she would likely hear about us imprisoning her brother in stone,so if she asks our names we will just think of fake ones!âRainbow suggests.
âEmm..But what if she also knows how we look?And by the way,is there another purple alicorn that she might confuse Twilight with?âApplejack ironically asks them.
âYeah...good point,but I donât think it would be a good idea to hide our identities from her,high chance sheâll know who we are,and I think she would be offended if we tried to fool her,try to fool the actual spirit of order would be a stupid idea,I guess as the spirit of order she knows who tries to trick her,âTwilight points out.
âTrue,well,at least we are near Zecora's,maybe she knows her?Because Zecora wouldnât miss another house in the forest!âSpike suggests.
âMaybe she knows something,well,weâll stop by!And of course to say hi.Havenât seen her since that incident with the swamp fewer,âTwilight agreed.
âOh,donât remind me of that!âFluttershy tells her.
âOh sorry!But itâs true,anyways I think weâre almost there,âTwilight tells.
After ten minutes they all were outside Zecora's hut,Spike then knocked at Zecoraâs door and it opened to reveal her.
âHello there friends of mine!To what do I owe the pleasure to see you once again?âZecora greets them.
âHello Zecora!â They all said.
âMight enter inside?âTwilight politely asked.
âSure,please do come in,and excuse me for such a noticeable mess,â
As they entered inside,they saw that Zecora house was indeed messy,some bottles were thrown in the floor,masks were in the ceiling,bubbles floating in the air and a strange but not awful smell could be sniffed.
âPhooey,Zecora,what happened in here?â Applejack asks her,looking in the ceiling.
âItâs actually a pretty big story to tell,I was trying to make a truth spell,and I accidently added a little too poison joke and it resulted to turn my house into that mess that is seen,âZecora explains.
âDidnât turn out so well as you see,â
âNeed some help to clean it up?â Applejack offers.
âOh no,donât bother with that,but thanks for your offering,â
Everyone saw the hut and knew it was a mess worth a day to clean,but they also thought of why they came here in the first place.
âSo,whatâs your need?Because you seem anything but calm,âShe guessed.
âHow do you-â
âA friend of mine taught me how to tell what someone needs by the way of the expression that comes from the face,âZecora answers to Twilight.
âTHUMPâ A loud noise was heard.
âAAAAAAAAAAHH!â All expect Zecora screamed.
âNo worries my friends,itâs just a fallen mask,âShe assures as she walks and picks up the fallen mask.
âOne down,eight to go,âShe thought.
âAlright,so Zecora,might we ask something?âRarity questioned.
âSure my friend,ask what you need and Iâll try to give the answer right away,âShe assures as she cleans the mask with a towel and places it in the wall.
âZecora,with all due respect ,but,did you know that there is another being living in the Everfree forest besides you?That lives here much more than you?âApplejack asked.
âWell,emm,I..I donât know what you are implying!I know no other being living here,â She obviously lied.
âZecora...We are well aware that there is another one living here,and we guessed that you would know her.Arrist if memory serves,âApplejack said.
âHow do you know about her?Did Discord..?âZecora shocked looked at them.
âYes,and we presume that you also know that she is his sister?â Twilight asked.
âYes,I encountered her when I first came to this forest.Back then no pony would talk to me,but I needed a place to call home,when I first encountered her,she instead was afraid of me,but after assuring her that I didnât mean her any harm,she actually turned out to be very friendly,then I asked her ,with no fear of her appearance, if there was maybe a spare house,and she suggested me this tree that I now call home.Since then we became friends ,but she kindly asked me to not tell anyone about her existence or that she is Discord's sister.I wanted to inform you about her after Discordâs freedom but I had to hold my promise and keep my mouth shut,âShe explained
âSo he told you,I expected that one fateful day he would finally tell you,â
âYes and we wanted to know where she lives,â Fluttershy revealed.
âAnd since you live here we guessed that you have seen her,â
Rainbow continued.
âOf course,I can show you the way to her house,she doesnât actually live that much away from me,we are basically neighbours,she lives near the castle of The two Royal sisters as myself,so I am a bit surprised you never noticed,âShe admitted.
âAre you sure you donât mind?Seems you have some cleanup to do,âRarity points at the place with her hoof.
âNuh,Iâve cleaned worse in a day anyways,besides,I too always wanted to reunite those two siblings,but seemed that I alone couldnât help them,a friendâs need is more important than a cleanup anyways,â
âWell,might show us the way then,âSpike said.
Then Zecora and the others went outside in the forest and Zecora silently led them into their destination until she stopped a few metres away from a house.
âThis is it,â Zecora tells as she points with her hoof the house.
âThat was fast actually.She doesnât live far away luckily,âRainbow exclaimed.
âYes,now I must go,good luck with her my little ponies and dragon,but she isnât fearful or rude but instead kind and polite so you might not need it afterall,âShe then walked back to her home.
âBye Zecora thanks for showing us the way,âFluttershy thanked her.
âNow we have to knock on the doorâŚ.whoâll do it?âRarity exclaimed while they were all seven walking the stairs to the master of chaosâs sisterâs house
âEmm,Fluttershy,I think you should!Well since you are the Element of Kindness,I canât imagine how she looks!âSpike suggested.
âSpike!Donât be rude!â Twilight said.
âWhat?I am not joking!I have no idea how she might look!âHe told.
âWell,I mean maybe Twilight should!I am just saying,âShe suggested otherwise.
âYou are kidding?I am not facing his sister!âShe defended.
âOh chickens!Iâll do itâRainbow determined told and then;
âKNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCKâ
She knocked
No answer
"Knock again,maybe she didn't hear it," Twilight tells.
"Really.."She then again knocked
'KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK'
"Maybe she isn't home," Pinkie guesses.
"Oh..All this way for nothing!" Applejack pissed tells
But then
the door started to open slowly!
"So...she is afterall," Pinkie whispers.
âGulp,â Spike gulped as he didnât knew what he might face in front of him.
