Everfree forest, a land no one can own. Untamed and wild, it's known to be left alone, as entering the forest is perilous.

" Bluebell, it's no use waiting for them," Quilt yelled.

At the very back, Bluebell can be seen sulking.

" I know... But... What if they got lost?" she worries.

Quilt felt a bit awful seeing Bluebell lonely since they'd parted ways.

" Tsk, well, rest a bit here before we enter the forest. Cross, can you deal with her?"

He'd scratch his head and go over to Bluebell. They'd be seen talking for a bit, and then Bluebell could be seen riding at his back.

Treasure would sit beside Quilt as they camped.

" Hey, im all up for answers and what not, but you too aint that diffrnt from yer mom," he said while chewing a peace of leaf.

Tapper would also sit near Quilt, as he seems eager to listen in as well.

But he was too near for Quilt's comfort.

" Ahmm, back a bit, will you?" Quilt scowled at him.

" Sorry." He whimpered.

" Look, its not that I'm hiding anything from you... I just don't wanna... Well, I actually did already mess it up." His face gloomed as he thought about it.

"She said that she knows the cause of all this mess, but she won't say what it is because something about it changing time, fate, and whatnot. So she won't say what it is, but her plan back then was to go back in time and stop it."

" Hmm, yeah, I can see that fixing the problem, but there's a but to it, right?" Tapper asked.

"Yeah, but the princess wouldn't allow that plan to happen. And that's what's bugging me. What is it that they're hiding?"

" So... Thats what caused the civil war, I recken." Treasure asked.

" Yeah. But we can see now that the princess was able to lock up Starlight Glimmer, and yet the world is still in shambles. I guess whatever she planned didn't work out well."

" So..." Bluebell asked.

" So I guess the only way we can fix this is if we follow Starlight Glimmer's plan, since it seems the princess's plan didn't work."

" Is that really it?" Tapper asked.

" Heck should I know..." Quilt would pout and rub his head in worry.

" Ya think we'd be enough?" Tapper asked.

"Well, we'll have to do and if what she said is true, we don't die."

" Hey, that's cool and all, but you didn't die that time, and yeah, we died before, but dying the second time was NOT cool. And who's to say it's real?"
Tapper voiced out his concern.

" Yeah, so it's still best to be careful," Quilt agreed to him.

"... What if we've already died before and this isn't the first time this happened; we just didn't know because we went back in time without knowing?" Bluebell said in a creepy trans like state.

Cross would tap her head.

" Ouch."

"ANYway, so what's the plan now? We've been in a lot of shit that we didn't get to hear it properly," Tapper asked.

" Well, I didn't say it back then because I wasn't sure yet who to trust."

He looked at everyone and nodded.

" Since you guys are still here, I guess I can trust you all."

" Hey! So you didn't trust us when we saved you from Bubbles?" Tapper complained.

" Hey! I appreciate that. But next time, can you be quick about it? That shit hurts."

" I can't do a sonic rainboom in command Quilt; thats was the fastest I could do in that situation," he said bitterly.

" You're right, I'm sorry..." She wondered why she lived through that. If she was that strong and fast, she could've quickly killed her. She shivered as she thought of how sadistic Bubble really was.

She began shaking his head and removing those thoughts. " Anyway, the plan; we're getting sidetracked again."

Everyone quieted down and listened.

"We just need the elements of harmony to free Starlight Glimmer. Simple."

"....oh" everyone was excited before the lackluster revile.

"So... It's just a boring fetch quest," the disappointed Bluebell doubted.

" It would be a blessing if it were. You have to understand that we are taking it from someone, and those someones are the guardians of harmony."

"What would a bunch of old mares gonna do against us knights?" Tapper jinxed them.

"Keep that up, and complacency will kill you Tapper," Quilt answered.

" Hey! Are they really that serious to deal with?" he questioned.

Quilt thought about this before answering. " Well... I haven't met any of them before, now that you mentioned it..."

Why? Quilt pondered. But to no conclusion, he puts it to the side for now.

"Anyway, let's just say that they were able to lock up a literal god of time. Even when Mother was just a unicorn, she was able to rival against alicorns and draconicous. Now that she is one, she'd be unmeasurable, and they were able to lock her up."

" Good point. So we're screwed then," Tapper added.

Treasure was listening in and was pretty disappointed in what's upon them. " We were already screwed since the beginning."

He then stood up and stretched, ready to traverse the everfree forest. " I guess this is enough waiting for them, right? They ain't comin Blue."

Bluebell was a bit sad that Bubbles and Bright didn't join up.

She'd look at Cross and wonder for a bit before asking him a question: "Hey, Cross? You won't leave us, right?"

He'd smile and hug her before answering, "I can't promise that. But I'll try my hardest not to; I don't wanna be apart from you."

This would give a wide grin in Bluebell's smile.

She'd then hops on his back and rides Cross like a horse while hugging.

" Hey? That ain't fare; am I supposed to carry you the whole trip of the forest?"

She'd give a kiss and plead: " pleaaaase?"

He'd give a sigh and just march on with a smile.
