Years have passed since Sharp had seen Heart. Many things had changed. There was a new law spread across Equestria. Any and all Hybrid ponies were deemed illegal and either imprisoned or killed on the spot when encountered. Sharp, along with her parents had hid away from towns where they could be captured and were doing a great job. Sharp had turned about eighteen not long ago, and wan't seeing it as anything to behold.

"Mom, how much longer do we need to keep hiding?" Sharp said, hoping the answer would be different than the other times she asked.

"As long as we can sweetie." Her mother replied.

"But what if the ponies find us here?" Sharp said, worried by a few sounds she heard earlier

"Then we run." Her mother said, sounding tired and irritated.

As they traveled through the depths of the forest, another figure was hiding. Heart, once he had escaped from his prison, went to Equestria to try and find a place where he could be safe, or even find his friend Sharp again. Luckily for him, they were about to encounter.

"Hey mom, maybe we should camp up ahe-" She turned to see she was face to face with Heart, her trail of thought disappearing as you looked straight at him, both of them thinking the other was very familiar.

"Um... Hi." Heart said, awkwardly stepping back.

"Who are you? How did you find us?" Sharp replied quickly.

"Um, I was trying to find my way out of this forest when I found you."

"Listen, you're not going to tell anyone you saw us, got it?"

"Why would I do that? Hybrids have to stick together." Heart replied, showing the symbol on his flank.

Sharp looked at this symbol rather curiously, starting to remember who this person might be. "Wait, Heart? Is that you?"

"How do you know my name?" He said, before inspecting Sharp closer. "Wait a second... Sharpy?"

Both of them looked shocked, Sandstorm and StormWing looking at each other confused.

"I thought I'd never see you again!" Heart shouted, hugging Sharp tight.

StormWing quickly separated the two of them and looked sternly at Heart. "How do we know your the real Heart huh?"

"U-um..." Heart said, backing away a little more.

Sharp quickly stood in-front of her father. "Relax dad, we can trust him."

"Alright, It's not like we have much of a choice."

"Follow me. I know a place where we can be safe." Heart said before using magic to open up a hidden tunnel.

"...is he fucking serious?" Sandstorm asked before Heart nodded.

"Iv'e heard rumors of an underground town for hybrids. If those rumors are true then this is the path to get to it." Heart said before going into to the tunnel followed by Sharp and her parents who were reluctant to trust him.
