(60 moons later)(6 years)

Ocean Lilly looked back at Apple Bloom who was waving at her. She waved back. "Bye mom!"

Apple Bloom smiled. "Have a good day at school honey!"

The little beach sand colored filly smiled and set off towards the school house. Apple Bloom smiled and walked back into the house. She sat down on the couch next to Tender Taps. "Hey honey! Are you ready for work?"

Tender Taps huffed. "Not really. At least you get to hang out with Rarity all day. Don't forget, I'm staying in Manehattan all week. This week's tech week so Coco Pommel wants us at the theater at 6:00 AM every day this week."

"Okay! Me and Ocean are gonna have some fun while you're gone though."

"I hope you do."

With that, Tender grabbed his train ticket off the table, gave Apple Bloom a kiss goodbye and left.

"Oh come on Ocean Lilly! Don't be a chicken!"

Ocean Lilly stood on the edge of the Everfree Forest as her friend Ruby Aura waved to her from inside. "I don't know Ruby. My mom told me that I'm never ever supposed to go into the forest."

Ruby walked over to Ocean and held out a hoof. "Rules were made to be broken were they not?"

Against her better judgement, Ocean grabbed Ruby's hoof and they went into the forest together. After they had been exploring for about fifteen minutes, it began to rain. As the darkness of the rain clouds began to set in, Ocean was having a hard time seeing Ruby.

"Ruby! Are you still there?"

"Yeah. I'm getting a little nervous. Wanna turn back?"

Ocean nodded as her sea blue mane flops against her head. As they began to turn around, the sky grew even darker. This storm was going to be bad. Suddenly, Ocean tripped over a root she couldn't see and went tumbling down a hill on their side. She screamed as she fell and landed in a puddle of mud. Ruby ran after her.

Ocean stood up. Her coat was covered in mud. "Oh no! My mom's gonna kill me!"

Ruby saw something in the mud puddle she had landed in. "Hey Ocean! Look at that." Ocean looked over and saw a smooth white stick covered in mud. "Help me dig it up!"

Ocean and Ruby began pushing the watery mud aside until they had uncovered the giant object. The stick was literally the tip of the iceberg. It was the tip of a unicorn horn. But something was off about the unicorn. Her left eye was missing and there was some sort of camera underneath.

When they pulled her up to the surface, the rain quickly washed her off, revealing a white metal shell and more holes throughout her body.

"Hey Ruby! Look where her hoof is!"

They looked at the spot where her hoof was and saw a switch. They looked at each other and nodded. Ocean reached up and flipped the switch.

The robot's sensors flickered green.

"Hello fillies! I'm Sweetie Bot!"
