The royal breakfast the next morning wouldn't be the best thing that happened to Crusher that day. Something just as amazing would come into his life after the royal meal, but he wasn't sure what.

And he became more confused when they were led to the stables after breakfast.

"Dad... why are we at the stables?"

"Today is a special day," Leo answered.

"That's right. You and your friends will be recieving some very special gifts. Your very own... unicorns!" Iris agreed.

And with that, the stable doors opened, revealing many unicorns whinnying cheerfully from the stables.

"UNICORNS!" Pickle squealed.

"You can all pick your favorite one, and it will bond with you the same way Crusher has bonded with Hazara." Leo told them.

The group went around at the stables to try to find the unicorn that they could bond with.

And that's when AJ saw it-- a white unicorn with a cloudy mane and tail swishing her tail at him.

Her brown eyes sparkled as she tilted her head at him, never seeing a human before.

"Woah…" AJ gasped, walking towards her. "You're so beautiful…"

"This is Windy," said Iris. "She's a wind unicorn, and she loves to ride and fly on clouds. Come over and say hello, Windy."

Windy let out a neigh. She leaned her head towards the boy, who giggled as she blew against his hair.

"Hey, that tickles!"

"She loves to play pranks too, but she is very noble." Iris added.

"What do you say, Windy? Wanna be my riding partner?" AJ asked the unicorn.

Windy let out a cheerful smile before nodding. "I'd love that!"

"Woah!" AJ took a step back. "She talked!"

"Your chosen animal can talk to you when you bond with it," Crusher explained.

"Amazing!" AJ beamed and gave his unicorn a hug.

"Wow!" Blaze gasped. "Congratulations, AJ!"

"Guys, look at the pretty unicorn I met!" Pickle said, gesturing to the brown unicorn with a horn made of twigs. "Isn't she pretty? She has blue eyes just like Blaze's!"

"She IS pretty!" Crusher agreed. "What kind of unicorn is she, Mom? Dad?"

"Twiga is an earth unicorn," Leo explained. "She can crumble entire mountains with one hoof stomp, but she is also very gentle."

"D'aww, she FEELS gentle too!" Pickle giggled as the unicorn nuzzled him.

"I would like very much for you to be my rider," Twiga said.

"Really?! That's amazing! YOU'RE amazing!" Pickle hugged her back.

"Looks like Pickle's found his unicorn too!" Blaze smiled.

Now all he and Crusher had to do was find their unicorns.

But which would he pick?

As he looked around, all other unicorns were eating or sleeping... except one, who was mysteriously hiding in her stall.

"Hey there, girl. Come on out. You don't need to be scared."

And that's when the most beautiful unicorn he ever seen came into view from the shadows. Her fur looked like a bright nightly starry sky, dark blue and reddish, dotted with many little stars. Her mane and tail were a delicate pink, and her eyes were an astounding purple.

"Woah…" Blaze gasped. "You… You're so beautiful…"

The unicorn tipped her head and shook it, not believing what he said.

"Well, you are. You're amazing! What kind is she?"

"She's a star unicorn-- one of the only unicorns to create stardust and fly without wings!" Leo proudly spoke.

"A Star Unicorn… amazing…" Blaze smiled and held by head gently. "What's your name?"

"She never had one," Iris explained. "Would you like to name her?"

"Hmm…" Blaze thought for a moment before smiling. "What about… Spectra?"

The unicorn seemed to brighten up once being given a name and she smiled. "I.. I like that name. Thank you, Blaze."

"You're welcome, Spectra," Blaze giggled.

"Okay... now I just need to find a unicorn for me..." said Crusher.

Suddenly, a black unicorn with soft brown eyes came from the stall at the end of the building, hoofing at the floor. And where she pawed at the floor, ice formed.

"Woah…" Crusher approached her. "What kind of unicorn are you…?"

"This is Iceheart, dear. She is a special ice unicorn that can stay frozen even in hot weather." Iris told him.

"Iceheart… Wow…" Crusher smiled and held her head tenderly. "That's an amazing name you've got there, Iceheart… and a COOL power, huh?"

Iceheart only weakly smiled before she looked down at the ground sadly. Crusher frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"She... was a slave of the evil witch Silla, my dear," Iris explained. "She was locked away with no food or water for days and whipped when she didn't do exactly what she wanted. We rescued her from the old witch's tower 2 days ago."

"Oh…" Crusher gave her a sad smile and pressed his forehead against her own. "Don't worry, Iceheart. Silla is gone now. No one's gonna hurt you,"

Iceheart seemed to deeply smile now, melting at his touch. Suddenly, without warning, Crusher and Iceheart's eyes began to glow with a bright white light!

"Hey... w-what's happening?" Pickle asked.

Suddenly, the same thing happened to the other three boys, along with their unicorns, and there was a blinding flash. When it vanished, all four unicorns were now wearing saddles, bridles and reins.

"Woah… what happened…?" AJ asked, shaking his head.

"This is incredible," Leo said. "Simply incredible!"

"What is, Dad?" Crusher tilted his head, confused.

"These symbols on the saddles. They are symbols that show whoever rides these unicorns will have a great destiny to fulfill in our kingdom."

"Really?!" the four had their jaws dropped in surprise.

"Yes, but we don't know what great destiny that is," Iris admitted. "Time will only tell."

"So... does this mean we can all go on a ride now?" asked Pickle.

"It definitely does."

Iris and Leo whistled, calling forth a dark blue unicorn with wings, and a white unicorn with a pink mane and tail with golden anklets.

"This is Ono, my unicorn, and his mate Lyria, Leo's unicorn," Iris said. "Now, let's all go riding."

With that, they all hopped aboard their unicorns, and with Iris and Leo leading them, rode off out of the stables and into the field and air.
