A month has passed since Chloe have finally became accepted by everypony to Equestria, and it was also six months since she first arrived in Equestria, and she knew she'll turn 9 years-old in about two months later, and when she told that to her mother, Celestia, she promised her she'll experience a birthday party she'll never forget.

Chloe was still studying at Ponyville Schoolhouse, but now she's been accepted as a friend by everypony around her, and even the foals whom are all around her age accepted her and befriended her for knowing that she's indeed a good human and that there are both good and bad humans and not just bad humans, and Chloe was truly happy to study with the other foals at Ponyville Schoolhouse for as long as they love her as their friend.

One afternoon, Chloe left Ponyville Schoolhouse with all the other young foals, just as usual because they all always finish and end their studying in the afternoons every day. However, this time, Chloe was excited because she's going to turn 9 years-old in the next month, showing and proving that her birthday is coming closer and closer, and she hoped that her mother, Celestia, will promise her that her birthday will be something she'll never forget, just as she promised a month ago.

Chloe stopped by a lake to take a look at her own reflection in the water, and she saw herself looking a bit worried about her upcoming birthday, because she hoped that Celestia will not forget her birthday, but that still didn't made her completely trust her Alicorn mother yet.

However, as Chloe had thoughts about Celestia's promise to her, as well as about her ninth birthday, Chloe suddenly heard someone crying "Stop it, please! Leave me alone!", and when she heard the crying voice, she decided to go away from the lake and go to the direction where the crying voice suddenly came from, and when she reached to the source of the crying voice, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked in shock at what she saw in front of her eyes.

Chloe saw in front of her eyes three young colts bullying and abusing a young Pegasus filly, and she also saw that the Pegasus filly had some injuries and bruises on her body, and she also saw that one of the young colts, who is apparently the leader out of the three, came towards the Pegasus filly and she hears him saying to her with an evil smirk "Give me your doll, or I'll kick you again!", but then the Pegasus filly cried and begged "Please, leave me alone! I won't give my precious doll to some bullies like you who wants to steal it from me!", but the colts all just laughed at her before the leader of the colts managed to kick at the side of her body, and then he tried to grab at the doll and pull it out of her grip so he can steal it, or at least rip it apart like a paper.

However, when Chloe watched the awful sight from some distance away, her eyes began to fill with anger and then rage began to burn in her eyes as she couldn't believe that those three colts dares to take on a single filly at once, and then she screamed in anger at the colts "HEY YOU BULLIES! LEAVE HER ALONE!", and then she ran towards the three colts and the Pegasus filly, and then she began to attack the leader of the colts by punching him in the face, thus causing to let go of the doll and fall backwards, and the doll remained unharmed and didn't got ripped apart, thus allowing the Pegasus filly to take back her doll and get behind Chloe's back as the human girl faced the three colts.

Chloe didn't showed fear when she stood against the three colts because something new began to evolve and develop inside her heart - the caring feeling for friends whom are in trouble. Two of the colts growled angrily at Chloe, and then the third one (who is the leader) asked her "And who are you?!", and then he added "What are you supposed to be?!", and then he suggested "You're kind of an ape or something?!", and this made Chloe shout in anger "I'm not an ape! I'm a human!" and then she added "And I won't let you three steal that doll from that Pegasus filly! It's her doll and not yours! I don't fear you three because I've already suffered from abusive experience before and I managed to fight back sometimes, but I can't let some bad colts like you three bully and steal from a single filly! That's not fair for three to take on one! If you dare to come close, I'll have to fight you three to protect that Pegasus filly and her doll from you!".

However, the three colts laughed at her, and this caused Chloe to ask angrily "What was so funny?!", and then the leader of the colts said to her "I'm sorry, but I will not waste my strength on a filthy human! But my two friends can fight you, because I only take on stupid and weak fillies!", and then he told and ordered his two friends to come towards Chloe to attack her at once, but Chloe knew she can beat them both because sometimes one can fight against two, and Chloe's height and flexibility as a human gave her an advantage to outsmart and outfight the two colts whom are about to fight her.

Then, one of the colts jumped on Chloe and he began to kick her in the face, but she easily managed to pick him up and pull him away from her face with one hand by his back, and then she used her other hand to slap him across both sides of face repeatedly, and then she threw him to the ground, thus knocking him out. Then, the other colt jumped on Chloe, and then he managed to bite her on the wrist, causing her to scream in pain before she used her another hand to pull him away by his mane and then she managed to get her bitten hand and wrist out of the colt's biting grip and then she him punched directly in the face, and then she threw him away and he landed on his already beaten friend, thus getting knocked out too.

However, the leader of the colts managed to get past Chloe and then he tried to steal the doll from the Pegasus filly once more, but when Chloe heard the Pegasus filly screaming for help, the human girl turned around and saw the leader of the colts trying to steal the doll from the Pegasus filly once more, and so she began to attack him by kicking his butt and flank, and then she grabbed him and pulled him up to her height level by the left ear and then she gave the leader of the colts an angry glare before she said "Leave that Pegasus filly alone, or I'll make sure that you and your friends will suffer from more harm even more!", and then she threw him against his already beaten friends, knocking him out too, before all the three managed to get up and they all ran away for their lives, but the leader of the colts said to her as they left her and the Pegasus filly alone "Our mothers and fathers will hear about this!", and once the three colts were all gone, Chloe turned back to the Pegasus filly, who just looked at her in shock before she suddenly decided to approach her.

Then, she said to Chloe "Thank you for saving me from those bullies.", and then she gave her a hoof to shake, and Chloe decided to give her hand to the filly so she can shake her hoof with her hand, and then they began to shake each other's hand and hoof, and then Chloe said to the Pegasus filly "It's okay, it's fine, there's nothing for you to be afraid of right now.".

Then, Chloe said to the Pegasus filly "I managed to chase those colts who bullied you away from you, and I believe they wanted to steal that doll of yours, didn't they?", and the Pegasus filly said "Yes, this doll is the most precious thing in my life. My father bought it for me when I was little.". "Unfortunately, my father is not alive anymore." the Pegasus filly said, and Chloe asked her "What happened to him?", and the Pegasus filly answered and explained "My mother said he died in the Everfree Forest, and that she tried everything she could do save him, but she failed.", and then she added "Since his death, the doll he bought for me is the only thing left which reminds me of my father.".

"That's a very sad story, isn't it?" Chloe asked and the Pegasus filly answered "Yes, it's very sad, but thanks to this doll, I remember him in my heart for as long as I can.". Then, Chloe introduced herself and said "Anyway, my name is Chloe, and I'm actually a good human.", and then she asked the Pegasus filly "And what's your name?", and the Pegasus filly answered "My name is Aylene, and I have only a mother.". "That's very nice to meet you, Aylene.", and then she said "Anyway, I have to go back home, but I'd like to invite you to be in my birthday, which is going to happen one month later.", and Aylene said to her "I'd like to go to be in your birthday!", and then she added "For some reason, my mother doesn't let me go to be in anypony's birthdays.", and Chloe said to her "It's okay, because I invite you to my birthday so we can become closer friends and have lots of fun with each other and with everypony else!". "That sounds fun to me! I'd like to go to your birthday party!" Aylene said to chloe as she's also about to go back home, and then Chloe said goodbye to Aylene, who said to her goodbye in return before the two part ways and each went back to her own home.

When Chloe went back to the royal castle, it was already evening and so she went to her bedroom, entered it, climbed onto her bed, covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep, but while sleeping, she now hoped that two things will happen - one thing is that her mother, Celestia, will not forget her birthday, and the other thing is that her new friend, Aylene, will come to the royal castle to celebrate her birthday with her and with everypony else.
