Once the telescope was lifted enough, Millie and Melody grabbed Minnie’s arms and pulled her backwards until she was clear. After lowering the telescope back down, Mickey and Donald grabbed flashlights and followed the smoke trail until they reached the lake while the ambulance arrived to take Minnie to the hospital. Reaching the lake, Mickey spotted the orange floats on Flurry’s escape pod and he got into a rowboat. Joining Pete on the water, they attached towlines to the capsule and pulled it to the shore before working together to get it onto dry land. Peering through the hatch window, Donald saw what looked like a winged unicorn in a space suit. After opening the latches and depressurizing the capsule, they opened the hatch, unfastened the seatbelt, and pulled Flurry out. They opened her helmet and grabbed the video log DVD from within her hooves. After Mickey confirmed she was only unconscious, Donald called a second ambulance to take Flurry to the hospital. He and Mickey had taken note of her name tag and were ready to talk to her once she had woken up.
