A lot of things will be answered in this chapter.

The blue pony woke up from her unconscious state, and slowly lifted her head. She glanced around, taking in her surroundings. But then she glanced over at the mane 6, and her eyes grew wide.

She tries to get up, but the pain is to immense. Everfree comes over with a syringe, and slowly sticks it into Trixie's back. She gasps from the pain, and Everfree injects the serum into her back. Then you could see her stomach start to expand, and her wounds healing right before her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Applejack said, getting into her fighting stance.

"I'm sorry."

The two words echoed throughout the cave for what seemed like forever. The mane 6 stared at Trixie in utter confusion.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I acted, sorry for being so mean. I'm sorry." Trixie said, tears forming in the rims of her eyes.

Everfree slowly embraced the blue unicorn, who happily embraced back. Twilight joined in the hug as well, and started to stroke her mane. Or at least what was left of it.

"I forgive you. Why did you leave though?" Twilight asked.

Trixie looked up, "I knew I couldn't stay in Ponyville. Everypony hated me."

Twilight just grew a smile on her face, "I didn't hate you. Personally, I kind of had a crush on you. But then you left, and it slowly faded away. But that didn't stop me from searching for you, every night."

Trixie looked up in total surprise, but only smiled. The mane 6 were completely dumbfounded. "Twilight, you had a crush on this, thing?" Applejack said.

Just then, Stargazer walked over to Applejack, and glared at her. Applejack instantly felt like the smallest thing in Equestria. Everfree backed away, and walked up next to Stargazer.

"We will not allow bullying in our home. Either say something nice, shut your trap, or get the buck out. Your choice."

Now they were all dumbfounded. Applejack glared at Everfree, but backed off when she saw his cockarice eyes flaring, getting ready to turn something to stone.

Trixie got out of her bed, and walked over to Everfree. "Why did you save me?"

"I didn't save you. She saved you." I said, pointing up to Stargazer.

Trixie smiled, and embraced the leg of Stargazer. The Ursa smiled, and pulled Trixie into a hug. The Ursa then said some other language, and Everfree nodded.

"Stargazer said she likes you, as a friend. She hopes that you and her get to know each other better."

Trixie grew a slight blush, "I would love to, Stargazer."

So those two walked out of the cave together, and that left me with a dragon, and 6 ponies. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak up, "Okay, I want answers now. Who and what are you?"

I crossed my legs Applejack style, "My name's Everfree. I am older than all of you combined, and I was chosen by the princesses to be the ruler of this forest. After the battle of course."

Now everypony, except Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, was laughing like crazy. "No seriously." Rarity said.

"Can you get through to them Luna?" Everfree said.

Princess Luna appeared next to Twilight, which startled the purple unicorn. "I never was able to hide with invisibility from you Everfree."

Princess Luna walked up next to Everfree. "This is Everfree, older than my sister, and was created before the birth of Celestia and me."

Everypony knew that Luna never lied. "Okay, but why was he chosen by you to be ruler of the forest? And what did he mean by the battle?" Twilight asked.

"He wasn't chosen by me, or Celestia for that matter. He was chosen, and actually created, by Discord. Discord created him to take care of the forest. And the battle refers to the battle with Discord. You really think we turned Discord to stone with the Elements of Harmony?" Luna said, putting a hoof over my shoulder.

Now the mane 6 were shocked. "So when you sent us to battle him the second time..."

"We had no idea what to expect."

Twilight was trying to process this information, while others were frozen, speechless.

"Well, it was nice to see you again Luna. Still on for tonight?" Everfree said.

"Of course. Wouldn't miss it for the world." Luna said, smiling, and teleporting off.

"Oh, what a gal." Everfree said.

"Wait, so your..."

"Dating Princess Luna? I'll leave that up to you ponies to try to figure out." Everfree said.

"Now, if you ponies excuse me, I have to get the animals ready for Winter Wrap-Up tomorrow. We have 5 times the land of Ponyville to cover, so I'd like to get an early start."

Everfree flew out of the cave, and left the other ponies in the cave, trying to make sense of everything that they were just told.

What will happen next? Tune in next time to find out.

STAY FROSTY!
