My little pony X

A page was shown at the beginning of a book, showing Draco with Spike and Twilight, showing what built up to them living in Ponyville in book form. The trio were seen talking to each of their new friends in respective order from when they met whom. Draco was seen confronting Nightmare moon with his siblings behind him. Twilight was seen showing everyone about the Elements of Harmony. The group was seen walking through the Everfree forest in hopes of finding the Elements of Harmony. The group's struggles were all shown as the pages turned, one event at a time. The tasks of the Elements of Harmony were shown as well in exact order of when they were made. Draco and the others were seen confronting Nightmare moon and successfully did so, ending with Draco hugging Queen Luna. Draco and the others were seen with Queen Celestia as she just allowed the main trio to move to Ponyville. The last page showed Draco becoming surprised by what he found in the ruby in the alley. Just then a red flash covered up the screen and to changed to another motion.

The magic tree house anime movie song Message plays during the credits as Twilight's voice is heard singing No other bond.

Events from the pilot were shown from the first few lines of Twilight's song. "I may have given up on friendship, long ago." But my brothers helped me regain, it so. In spite of how stupid they, can be. I still love them with all my heart. They helped me see the light, at the end. It was a tunnel that made an, awful trend. But these dragons, one cocky, and one timid. Kept their friendship amazing from the start." Other events to occur in season one were then shown for the rest of the song. "True neither of them are perfect, but I honestly will never care. Us and our friends will remain, until the, end of time. Even when these brothers fight, there love lasts with all their might, and they showed me once again, the truth that i lost back then. The best of friends they will sure be, forever in harmony, No other bond i've seen before, protecting and loving one another to the core."

Draco and his friends were shown in a picture at the end of the song.

Draco and the others were on a train with Draco playing with his paddleball as he then smelt something good. Considering the confliction he was going through, it must've been an amazing scent to make him go back to his normal self. As he got up and snuck off, he exited the room and snuck off to the kitchen, and as soon as he arrived, he peeked into the kitchen and saw a buffet of all kinds of foods. The young dragon knew stealing was wrong, but two things. One, he loves food too much. Two, if he cared then he wouldn't have taken that sapphire from Cloudsdale. That said, he did hear a voice just then.

"You're up late." Draco looked and saw Applejack behind him, with the earth pony giving a stern look. "Give me one reason I shouldn't tell Twilight about what you're about to do."

Draco grabbed Applejack's face and pulled it down to her, ready for whatever she had for him. "Because if you do then I'll fart on your pillow and give you pink eye." Applejack gave a blunt look to Draco, who pushed her aside and took her rope.

Draco tried to lasso some food, only for Applejack to grab his claw. "Don't even think about it Draco."

"I'm thinking about it alright. And I'm doin it." Draco escaped Applejack's grasp and used the rope to get a cake of some kind, bringing it over and grabbing it. "And I did it."

Applejack stopped Draco from moving forward, not letting him get away with this. "Did I mention I was the Element of Honesty?"

"That, doesn't really help you." Draco and Applejack looked to see the owner of the train looking at them, with the dragon shrugging and walking off with Applejack chuckling nervously.

Draco and the others arrived at their destination with Rainbow dash and Fluttershy carrying out a tree of some kind. Rainbow seemed pretty impressed by something as she spoke to Draco when he hopped off. "You sure do love risks Draco. I find that similarity in us quite often."

"It's a living Rainbow." Draco bragged, feeling as if he could succeed at surviving any risk. "It's only natural that I'd get away with it. Well, if I did that is."

"But, you didn't." Spike deadpanned as he walked up to his younger brother. "Will give you the credit though. I would've wussed out real fast."

Draco looked back to see the owner glaring at him as he then decided to annoy him a bit. "Oh yeah dude. I found your molten chocolate lava cake too. It's safe and sound. And in my stomach." Draco let out a small burp with the owner then flinching as the train took off. The owner banged the glass as he shouted just as Twilight walked up to them. "We may need a new ride home."

"I figured that'd be the case." Twilight implied as she then looked at Draco. "Anyway, if we were at home Draco, you would be so grounded for this."

"Ah cmon Twilight, you know food is good." Draco replied as he walked off with his siblings. "And besides. It's either my stomach or his jerk face. He was smug ever since we got on the train."

"He was pretty smug Twilight." Rainbow defended Draco as they put the tree in a cart. "I mean, I don't completely agree with what Draco did, but I can see why he did it. I was a bratty kid once myself, and still kinda am."

"Thank you Rainbow. Finally, someone who understands." Draco stated with compassion, showing his self awareness as he walked off with the others. "Let me state this though. If farmgirl over here didn't decide to play good cop, I would've gotten away with it."

"Not in these parts you wouldn't." A bright yellow earth pony was standing before the others with a proud smile and positive tone. "Welcome to Appleloosa, home to the most famous apple orchard in Equestria."

Draco and the others were walking with the earth pony as Draco leaned over to Applejack. "This is the dude you brought up when we came with you, right?"

"Yep. He should be leading us to his orchard right now." Applejack assured Draco, who looked at his claw as he thought about his mother, hoping that what Applejack said about the orchard is true. Applejack was quick to catch onto his plan, since she'd gone with him on one of his adventures for this before. "Look Drac. I'm fine with you using this as an opportunity to learn about your mom, but don't destroy anything on my watch."

"Keep in mind that it's not my intention just yet." Applejack nodded upon Draco's reassurance with Spike starting to get worried about him. He looked on ahead after Draco looked forward, not wanting him to see it. It was bad enough that Twilight doesn't want him learning about his mother and he doesn't want him thinking the same for him.

The earth pony stopped when they reached the orchard and introduced himself. "Sorry for not introducing myself straight away. I feel it's more honorable to do it in front of the orchard."

"If we cared, we would've said it as soon as we started walking." Rainbow dash responded with a chilled out expression and tone.

The earth pony chuckled as he then introduced himself. "I'm Braeburn, owner of the Appleloosa orchard, and proud farmer in this here town."

Applejack winked to Draco and walked up to her cousin. "Actually cous, I thought we could talk about something in private. It's about the farm." Braeburn nodded and walked off with Draco catching onto what her plan was. It almost made him regret trying to steal that cake. Almost.

Applejack and Braeburn were walking through town as Applejack explained one of the reasons they came to Braeburn. "So listen Braeburn. I know one of the reasons I came here is to deliver that tree, but another reason I came is so Draco could learn more about his mother." Braeburn seemed confused by that information with Applejack continuing. "See, he read this book at Twilight's place that said it had some information on his mom; no one knows how it got there. I hope that's okay with you."

Braeburn chuckled a bit as he looked back on when Applejack's parents died, which made him get serious then. "I can see why you want him to meet his mother. If MY parents died then I'd feel the same way."

"That's why I'm helping him actually." Applejack explained, revealing what Braeburn said to be a lucky guess. "I don't want him to be separated from his parents in any way similar to how I lost mine."

"And it's a noble deed to help him out." Braeburn then put a smile on his face. "Maybe the buffalos could help him. They aren't the biggest fans of ponies, but they sure do love dragons." Applejack took an interest in that information, finding it to be a great help for Draco.

Draco was looking around the orchard as he tried to find where the book he read said the information on his mother lied. "Let's see here. The book said it would be somewhere around this orchard. Too bad natures too high among my standards for breaking stuff." Draco saw a box and got an idea, since Applejack wasn't around. "Applejack DID say on her watch, but she didn't say anything with her out of sight."

Draco walked up to the box and went to smash it, only to hear an assertive country like voice. "Dare I even ask?"

Draco looked to see Applejack giving a smirk to him, making him facepalm as he commented on it. "How do you keep doing that?"

"It's a giving." Applejack replied as he walked up to Draco. "Look, I know this is hard on you, and I can relate. I hardly know my parents either."

Draco didn't take too lightly to Applejack's comparison, not exactly knowing how else to take it. "There's a difference Applejack, between hardly knowing and not knowing at all."

"I know that, but you have to understand that this is going to take time." Applejack continued. "Think first. What did the book say?"

"It said that it'd be somewhere around this orchard." Draco responded. "It wasn't too specific though." Draco leaned on the box and it suddenly moved a bit, giving him an idea as to what it was for. He moved it more and saw what looked like an underground tunnel. He nodded to Applejack and went down it, with him then looking back up. "You go and do your own thing. We both know what happened when I brought you to Canterlot." Applejack nodded, knowing Draco's care was genuine and walked off, with Draco heading downward into the tunnel.

Applejack was enjoying the view of the orchard as she then saw Spike sitting down on a nearby bench. He seemed rather conflicted on something, and since everyone else was off doing their own thing, she decided to go over to him and see what was up. "You doin okay Spike?"

"I don't know." Spike admitted. "I'm worried about Draco. He's been really desperate to learn more about our mom lately." Applejack didn't find the news to be anything new until she heard what came next. "He hardly even sleeps anymore. And whenever he does, he can't help but have the nightmares return."

Applejack started to worry more for Draco, despite having never had a little brother herself. "It must be hard having a brother this desperate."

"It sure is." Spike sighed as he lied down on the bench, wondering what he should do about this whole situation. "I mean I wana help him, but what if we don't find her?"

Applejack put her hoof on Spike's shoulder as she gave him some words of encouragement. "He'll appreciate the trouble a lot more then you lyin around like a gosh darn nocturnal, that's for sure."

Spike laughed a bit as he sat up, appreciating Applejack's words. Even if they became disappointed in the end, he and Draco were brothers till the very end. "Yeah, you're right. Any idea on where he went?"

"Follow me." Applejack walked off and led Spike off to where she saw Draco last, knowing that Spike was doing the right thing, despite the danger that came with it.

Draco was walking through the cave as he tried to find out what could possibly be down there about his mother. As he looked through the place, he saw some drawings about the orchard. They seemed to intrigue him. "Wow. I never knew an apple orchard could have this kind of backstory behind it." Draco revealed some text that showed how the orchard was made from the first generation. It also showed that the buffalo's helped out with the orchard, but then were banished due to being reckless. "Wall I can't say I blame them. I'd want some credit too."

Draco walked onward and wondered how the fans would react to a plot like this. "Considering the episode that we're remaking here, a part of me questions what exactly the audience we have will feel about it."

"What audience?" Draco looked back to see a female buffalo child walking up to him, curious as to what he was doing down here. "I see you found the same tunnel I use. Well, in another way of course."

Draco took an interest in the buffalo, considering that he'd never seen one before. "I sure did. I've also never seen a buffalo before. Is it true that you guys are super gassy?" The buffalo seemed confused by what Draco meant with Draco shrugging. "Don't ask me dude. The book said it; not me."

The buffalo took a liking to Draco's personality and introduced herself with a smile. "I'm Little Strongheart."

Draco chuckled a bit, finding that name to be weird. "That's a pretty weird name. Not to insult you or anything, but any name with heart in it doesn't make sense."

Little Strongheart was about to reply until she and Draco heard Applejack's voice. "Draco!?" Draco and Little Strongheart looked to see Spike and Applejack walking through the place to try and find Draco. Draco himself was worried about how they would react to seeing Little Strongheart. "Draco; you down here!?"

'What the heck does she mean am I down here? She saw me come down.' Draco thought to himself bluntly, and he then spoke to Little Strongheart. "Please tell me those paintings I found don't have an ending of your tribe becoming violent."

"What paintings?" Spike asked, as he and Applejack then found Draco and saw the buffalo. "Oh. Now I get it."

"Yeah, she's pretty much here so we can keep an original show plot element." Draco deadpanned as he then looked at Little Strongheart. "Speaking of which, how IS your tribe?"

"Not too bad." Little Strongheart answered with a smile. "We actually managed to make our own life outside of town. If you like I could show you the way. My tribe loves dragons, so they'd be more than happy to welcome you."

Spike and Draco took a liking to this with Applejack seeming a bit hesitant. "And how exactly would they act with a pony in sight?"

"Beats me. They never talk about them." Little Strongheart then got an idea on how they could get around this. "I have the perfect plan. Come with me to the village.

Draco and the others entered the buffalo village from the side of the dungeon that Little Strongheart used to enter. The four of them then saw Little Strongheart's village, which a place that she was more than happy to introduce them to. "This is my village. My dad's the ruler here, so if I can convince him, you'll be able to stay for the night." Draco took an interest in that, wondering how much food he could eat.

Spike seemed worried about this as he spoke up. "You sure that's a good idea? Our sister usually doesn't like us staying out late without her knowing. Heck, she's even worried about us wanting to know about our mom. Mostly Draco, but still."

"Oh relax; just give her a call." Little Strongheart suggested as they walked onward, with Draco giving a call to Twilight, but her phone just so happened to be off. "Maybe do it when her phone's on."

"I don't think it's a good idea either kid." Applejack admitted. "Sure the main reason we came here is to Spike and Draco find information on their mother, but I don't know how much of a help this'll be to that."

Little Strongheart took an interest in that information, being glad that Applejack shared it with her. She just so happened to remember an old legend on dragons, which led to the buffalos taking a big liking to them. "What if I told you we had a book that explained every reason we liked dragons."

Draco grabbed Little Strongheart by her chest and pulled her up to his face with an excited look. "Show me everything you know and I won't eat all your food."

Draco and the others arrived in the main castle of the village with Little Strongheart's father then being shown. He was being fed grapes by one of his women servants as he then saw the four of them walking up to him. He questioned his daughter's doing when he got up and walked up to them. "Little Strongheart, please explain your reason for bringing non-buffalos into the village without my permission."

"Oh, they mean no harm at all father." Little Strongheart replied. "The dragons actually wanna know some stuff about their mom from what I know. And I know how much the village loves dragons, so I didn't think you'd mind."

Little Strongheart father inspected the dragons and found them to be intriguing, with Spike showing off his worry as Draco starting to get impatient. Taking a liking to the two, he didn't see any harm in trying to help them. "You'd be right my daughter. And besides. Everyone deserves to know about their family." Spike and Draco were excited by this, especially Draco, as the buffalo chief then introduced himself. "My name is Thunderhooves."

"He's Spike, and I'm Draco." Draco introduced themselves proudly. "Now let's check out this info."

Draco and the others followed Thunderhooves with Spike leaning over to Draco and whispering to him. "I bet you're really excited now dude."

"No kidding." Draco whispered back. "This is what we've been looking to find for almost the entire season." Draco punched his palm as he prepared to find the info no matter what. "And no one's gonna keep me from it." Applejack started to worry for Draco, hoping that he wouldn't be getting too violent in this whole search.

Twilight and the others were looking for Spike, Draco, and Applejack, hoping to find them before bedtime came. Twilight especially was worried, as she didn't want her brothers to get hurt out there. She knew they faced dangers before, but she also knew that they weren't exactly nocturnal. Fluttershy noticed her getting anxious so she flew over to her. "Don't worry Twilight. We'll find them in no time."

"I hope you're right Fluttershy." Twilight said, hoping the buffalos weren't hurting them. "I know the buffalos are fond of dragons, but what if they end up messing something up and they consider them a threat."

"Oh, that won't happen." Fluttershy implied as she kept trying to comfort Twilight. "It's only a matter of time until we get them safe; trust me."

Rainbow dash was flying around as she landed near a crate, figuring there could be some cider in it. "We could use some of this stuff for the Gala." Rainbow dash moved the crate, only to find the secret entrance. "Even better. (Calls out to the others) Yo guys; I found something!" The others ran over to Rainbow dash, who pointed to the underground entrance. "If we're lucky then the three of them went into this entrance."

"Nice thinkin Rainbow dash." Braeburn walked up to Rainbow dash and took her hoof. "I'd be more than welcome to escort you through the cave."

Rainbow dash took her hoof away with a smirk. "Yeah dude. I'm into someone." Rainbow dash went down the entrance with Fluttershy shrugging once Braeburn looked at her. Deciding to brush off the rejection, Braeburn went down into the entrance with the others, hoping to find his cousin before it was too late.

Draco, Spike, and Applejack were reading through a book on dragons with Draco hoping to find out who his mom was. He couldn't seem to find anything and then he saw a code. It said it led to the discovery of his and Spike's mother. Spike found the fact that the book knew their names to be odd. "How does it know what Twilight named us?"

Draco shrugged and walked over to Thunderhooves, hoping he could translate it, since it was in a different language. "Thunderhooves. Mind translating this for us?" Draco showed Thunderhooves the book and it made the buffalo nervous. He was more than aware of what could happen if the translation was made. Draco however didn't, which is why he was annoyed at Thunderhooves hesitation. "Cmon dude. It's not all that hard."

"Maybe there's more to this then that Draco." Applejack suggested. "There's usually a reason when someone won't do something."

"Well whatever it is I'm sure it won't be the end of the world." Draco stated, still waiting for the translation to happen.

Thunderhooves sighed, wishing he could help the dragon, but not wanting to do what he asked him to do. "I'm sorry young one. But I can't translate that. It could cause mass destruction."

"Really?" Draco handed the book to Spike, not understanding at all what Thunderhooves meant. "You seriously think I'm gonna fall for that? (Thunderhooves flinches) That's gotta be the lamest excuse I've ever heard for not doing something."

The camera panned to Draco and Thunderhooves giving each other serious looks, which lasted until they heard Twilight's voice. "Guys!" Spike and Draco looked to see Twilight running up to them and then she started questioning what they were doing there. "What the heck is with you two and sneaking off to different places?"

"Now Twilight, before you go into psycho nerd mode, they obviously weren't intending on getting themselves hurt." Applejack assured Twilight. "Besides, they were by my side since we got here. I could've taken anyone who tried to mess with them."

Draco was looking at the translation, which Thunderhooves still refused to translate. "Young dragon, please answer this question. Do you truly think that finding your mother is worth causing destruction over?"

"I'll take my chances." Draco closed the book and set it down as he faced Thunderhooves again. "I've been downgraded enough in my family and it's about time I do something for them. Me and Spike have been separated from our birth parents for long enough and I'm sick of it being a fact. (Looks back at Spike) And I know a part of Spike feels the same way." Spike nodded his head a little, showing his agreement. Although he was worried about Draco, he'd be lying if he didn't say he wanted to know about his parents as well.

"I admire your dedication Draco, but there's no way I can put my town in danger like this."

"Who knows? Maybe it's not even IN your town. Heck, maybe it's off in the village of a species you hate."

Thunderhooves sighed as he then gained an electric spark around his hooves, with Rainbow dash questioning it when she and the others walked up to it. "What is that, a foot cloud?"

Thunderhooves stomped on the ground and trapped all of the ponies, making Spike and Draco terrified when they saw it. When Little Strongheart entered the room with some food for Draco, Spike, and Applejack, she was shocked to see what her father was doing. She set the food down and ran over to him with confliction. "Dad, you promised me you'd never use this again!"

"I'm sorry sweetie. It's the only way I can protect the kingdom." Thunderhooves looked at Draco with a serious look. "Don't test me Draco. I don't want to hurt you, or your friends. Leave kindly, and I won't do anything like that."

"You can't do this dude! This is the only place left I have to get some info!" Draco felt Thunderhooves expression hit him hard, making him have to take an act of desperation. He then looked at Little Strongheart. "I hold nothing against you or your allies." Draco grabbed Little Strongheart and held his claws up to her neck, making her translate it heself and shocking the others severely. "Translate it."

Little Strongheart looked at her father, who nodded, not wanting to see her daughter's life vanish. She then translated the words and when she finished after ten seconds, something rose from outside. This led to Draco deadpanning the whole thing. "Destruction? More like lies."

"If I could move while doing this, you would be bleeding right now." Draco rolled his eyes and ran off with the others after Thunderhooves cancelled his move.

Draco and the others were walking over to where the rising sound came from with Draco noticing a conflicted Spike. "You okay dude?"

Spike flinched and looked at Draco with a reassuring tone in his voice. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just, worried about something."

Draco had a hunch about what Spike was worried about, not wanting to assume anything, but also having a good feeling of what he was conflicted about. "It's our mom, isn't it." Spike sighed and nodded his head yes, not wanting to lie to his own brother. "Look dude. I've already gotten this far and I even threatened a leader with his own daughter. I can't turn back after doing that."

"I know, and I also know how much you wanna do this." Spike replied. "That's why I don't wanna stop you. I just...can't risk seeing you get hurt."

Draco looked on ahead and saw a giant pillar, hoping that it'd lead to something about his mother. "Maybe you won't have to. That must be the place." Draco and the others walked over to the pillar and saw some writing on it, with Draco trying to make out what it could be. "Looks like some kind of ancient writing."

"Now why would a pillar like this be lying around in the middle of who knows where?" Applejack asked, wanting to know what was going on. "It's almost as if it WANTED us to find it."

"Maybe that's the case." Draco saw a hole that was the size of his claw and he put it in, with Spike doing the same with the one next to it.

The pillar opened up some kind of door with everyone looking in awe at the gems that showed inside of it. As Draco and the others walked inside, Braeburn couldn't help but comment on it. "In all my years of working at the orchard, I never thought I'd see anything like this."

"You'll get a lot of it when we're around Braeburn." Rainbow dash stated, showing that she was pretty much used to the adventuring by now. "And if you're lucky, you'll even get involved in one of our super awesome adventures."

Draco was looking around as he saw something that looked like a staff. When he walked up to it, he noticed a glowing ruby and took out his own. As his ruby glowed, the staff's ruby glowed as well, and Draco became intrigued by what it was going to do. The others noticed this and walked over to them with the rubies then floating up in the air. Draco's ruby then fell down to his claws and he caught it. The dragon that looked like the one in Draco's nightmare from chapter four then appeared before them, showing her beauty and grace as she amazed the ones in front of her.

The dragon figure flew down to Draco and the others as she then sang a peaceful, but short song. "Goodbye my young children, I can't bare myself to see you in pain. That's why I must, set you free." Spike walked up to Draco and put his claw on his shoulder, feeling the same thing he was. "I wish we could've grown up together, and lived out our lives. But this is the best, so you can be."

Spike and Draco felt their hearts burn upon hearing the song their mother was singing to them, and it only got more powerful when their eggs were shown. "I don't know why this is happening, but the danger is too grand to risk it. I beg of you both, please find a place where you will fit."

Spike and Draco looked at each other with emotion, feeling the tension of the song. "As the power of the dark one, comes to us much swifter. I can't risk seeing you, harmed into this mixture." Draco steps closer to their mother's figure but Spike stops him so he doesn't get hurt. "It's too painful for me, to risk seeing you harmed. (The mother leaves the eggs in a hidden cave) I beg of you, please live, so you can be."

The song ended with Draco holding onto his ruby and the figure vanishing, filling Spike and Draco with all kinds of strain. The others walked up to them as Draco spoke of the ruby, knowing that it was much more than a mirror of his mother. "When I found this ruby after we beat Nightmare moon, I thought it would just do basic stuff, like show me our mom and make me more invested, but instead it did something way bigger than that."

Rainbow dash flew up to Draco and got a look at the ruby, wanting to know about it's power. "So this is what started off your arc in this season. Cool."

Twilight walked up to Draco with concern, wanting to know why he hid this from them. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I thought you guys would think I was crazy." Draco replied, looking at the ruby again afterwards. "I already got seperated from my parents before I was born, I don't need to be separated from the others as well."

"Well you're not." Applejack assured Draco with a head rub. "And with all that's happened lately, I'd be surprised if this WAS an ordinary ruby."

"It's not like this whole arc was for nothing." Rainbow dash added in. "And I think I know about a little something else from (Winks) Cloudsdale."

"We'll be there for you every step of the way." Pinkie pie added with a cheerful tone.

"And we won't ever abandon you." Rarity added with her graceful voice.

"Even under the darkest circumstances." Fluttershy added with a soft voice.

Spike put his claw on Draco's shoulder and hugged him, with Draco wrapping his arms around him. Draco saw hope in the future as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.

Draco and the others were packing up as they then saw Thunderhooves and Little Strongheart walking up to them. Draco nodded to Spike and walked up to the two of them, ready for what they had to say. He was surprised however, as they gave him the exact book that they used to rise the pillar. Draco was confused as to why they were doing this, but when Thunderhooves gave his expression of respect, it showed him that he showed the buffalo leader what true family meant to dragons. Little Strongheart bowed to Draco in a friendly manner, with Draco smiling at what could happen for him later on.
