When morning came, Chloe and Aylene woke up again after they both suffered from an evil nightmare they shared together, and they also knew this is the day when Chloe is going to celebrate her tenth birthday, but Chloe and Aylene didn't wanted to have a birthday party because they're both still full of distress after both the letter Yigal have sent to them, and also because of the nightmare they shared in which everypony and every creature they loved harmed, abused and tormented the both of them until they both completely lost their trust in everyone they loved except for each other.

However, since they both knew it was just a horrible nightmare they just shared, Chloe and Aylene still knew that nopony and no creature will ever randomly turn on them, and so they went to the dining room to eat with their mother, Celestia, and with their main aunt, Luna, but when they got to the dining room, they both found nopony, but there was a letter from Celestia which said to them when they began to read it that she and Luna are too busy to be with either of them right now, and this made Chloe and Aylene confused as they both believed that Celestia and Luna don't want to celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday, which made Chloe more saddened than Aylene, but even she was sad to because she also believed that the mother and aunt who adopted the both of them suddenly decided to ignore and avoid them by leaving them alone with just a letter, which made the human girl and her Pegasus sister very sad, before the two went out of the royal castle and towards the Castle of Friendship so they can talk to the mane seven and see if they have the time to be with the both of them.

However, upon reaching to the Castle of Friendship, Chloe and Aylene received a letter written for them by Twilight that she and her friends aren't in the Castle of Friendship because they're to busy to be with either of them right now, and the letter also told them to come back when Twilight and her friends were all available, which made both Chloe and Aylene bewildered and confused, and so they went to the changeling kingdom to in hopes that their father, Thorax and uncle, Pharynx, were not busy and will have the time to be with the both of them.

However, upon arriving at the changeling kingdom, the changelings turned Chloe and Aylene away after they said to them that Thorax and Pharynx left the hive and won't be around at the time to be with either of them because they're also too busy to be with the two of them, causing Chloe and Aylene to leave the changeling kingdom in tears and the two ran together towards the Everfree Forest, and then they both entered and then went to the nearest lake in the forest to drink some water so they can both calm down, and after the two drank some water from the nearest lake in the Everfree Forest, Chloe and Aylene sat down together under one of the nearby trees, but they're both still sad, bewildered, confused and even wounded to know that nopony and no creature wants to be with them right now.

"I don't understand - why would everypony and every creature we love for the most won't like to be around us right now?", Chloe asked, and then Aylene added "You're right, Chloe. Why would our friends and even our mommy, daddy, uncle and auntie won't like us anuwhere around right now? What have we done wrong?", and then the two thought for the right answer, but nothing came up in their minds, and so the two just sighed hopelessly as they're now believing that nopony and no creature loves them or wants them to be around anymore.

Then, suddenly, the two heard someone clapping his hands and/or hooves, and when the sounds of the clapping started to get louder and closer to them, Chloe and Aylene tunred to se Yigal suddenly approaching them while clapping his hands, and once he got close enough to the human girl and Pegasus filly, Yigal stopped clapping his hands and then he said to the two "Well then, you both made it here! Thank you two for finally deciding to show up, girls!" and then the adult human male chuckled mischievously at Chloe and Aylene, who both looked at him in shock and confusion.

Then, Chloe asked him "What do you want from us, Yigal?", and then Aylene added "Why did you even clapped your hands for us? What did we both do good to deserve this?", and then Yigal said to the both of them "Because you two finally think that your family truly loves you both, girls!", and then he added "Anyway, would you like to come with me?", and then he explained "Do you want to meet that friend of mine I talked and explained about in the letter I sent to the both of you?", and Chloe said "I don't know, I don't follow.", and then Aylene added "Yeah, me neither.".

However, Yigal tried harder to persuade both Chloe and Aylene to come with him, and so he said to the two of them "I promise you two that this time you can truly trust me, and by the way, that friend of mine I talked and explained about in the letter I sent to you two will be a guest of honor in the girl's tenth birthday!", and when Chloe and Aylene heard what he said, the two tried to reconsider together and agree with each other if to listen to him or not.

"Can you say that again, please?" Chloe asked Yigal, and he answered "Of course, I will!", and then he repeated "I said that I promise you two that this time you can truly trust me, and by the way, that friend of mine I talked and explained about in the letter I sent to you two will be a guest of honor in the girl's tenth birthday!", and once he finished, Aylene asked Chloe "Should we really trust Yigal this time?", and Chloe said "Well, yes, I guess so, because if he willingly repeated his words to us so we can understand him better, this proves he maybe have changed.", and Yigal said "Yes, of course! You two can totally trust me this time! I won't hurt the both of you because I only came here to take you both with me to the birthday party we all have planned and prepared for the girl!", and then he said to the human girl and Pegasus filly "And now, follow me!", and then he started to walk away from them and deeper into the Everfree Forest.

Chloe and Aylene still didn't knew if they should trust Yigal after all, but then they both changed their minds and they decided to follow him deeper into Everfree Forest to see if he's telling the truth, and also to see that friend of his he talked and explained about in the letter he sent to them, and also to see what does he his friend looks like and how does he or she behaves and will react when he or she sees the both of them for the first time.

Chloe and Aylene followed Yigal until they finaly reached to his huge house, where they meet up with him, Gilad, Ezra and Black Heart, who all waited for the both of them to come, and then Yigal said to Chloe and Aylene that it's time for them to meet that friend of his, and so he and his brothers and Aylene's former mother all took Chloe and Aylene with them to meet that friend of theirs in the darkest part of the Everfree Forest.

Meanwhile, Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and the mane seven were all working together and they're still busy preparing Chloe's tenth birthday party back in the royal castle, which was the real reason why they left letters Chloe and Aylene which said to the two of them that they can't be with them right now, and the reason that they didn't told the two of them that they're preparing Chloe's birthday party it's because they all wanted to keep the birthday party a surprise for Chloe and Aylene when they come back to the royal castle, and after working very hard on everything they all prepared for Chloe's tenth birthday party, everypony and every creature finally finished with all the preparations for Chloe's tenth birthday party, but what they all didn't know is that Chloe and Aylene won't come back to the royal castle to celebrate the birthday party with everyone, because the two were going to celebrate the birthday party in the wrong place, and worst of all - with the wrong guests.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Aylene still followed Yigal, his brothers and Black Heart until they finally stopped when they finally arrived at the darkest part of the Everfree Forest, and then Yigal called out for Queen Chrysalis to come out of the shadows and face him and the others, and after a short moment, a tall female changeling wearing a crown on her head, with black coat, green saddle on her back, blue mane and tail, a pair of fangs coming out of her mouth, green midsection, green eyes, holes in her mane, tail, wings and legs, and a twisted horn which also had holes came out of the shadows and approached Yigal, his brothers, Black Heart, Chloe and Aylene. Yigal and his brothers and Black Heart all knew who that black and scarred changeling is - it was Queen Chrysalis, the original and former queen of the changelings.

When Queen Chrysalis stopped right in front of the group of humans and ponies, she said "Well, isn't that Yigal who caused troubles to Equestria?", and Yigal answered "Yes, my brothers and I even wanted to take Celestia down, but we all failed.", and then Black Heart said "I admit I'm a pony, but I'm still evil like you and like my human friends here.", and then Chrysalis said to her and to the humans "Very well then.", and when she turned and noticed Chloe and Aylene cowering together behind Yigal, his brothers and Black Heart, the former changeling queen asked "Yigal, who are these little human girl and that little Pegasus filly?", and Yigal said "Oh, these are the two my brothers, our mare friend and I all wanted to show you!", and then he pointed his index finger at Chloe and then he said to Chrysalis "Chrysalis, I want you to meet Chloe. Today she just turned 10 years-old.", and then he pointed at Aylene and said "And this is Aylene, her best friend, or should I say in other words - her adopted sister.", and then Black Heart said "Yeah, Exactly! I was once Aylene's mother, but that daughter of mine have betrayed me for Celestia, who became her new mother.", and then she added "Not to mention, Thorax, that new king of the changelings is now my daughter's new father.", and then Gilad added after Black Heart finished "Both Chloe and Aylene were adopted by Celestia who became their mother, and then Thorax also showed up and became their father.", and when Chrysalis heard everything the three adult human males and one Pegasus mare said about Chloe and Aylene, the former changeling queen said "How interesting.".

Then, Chrysalis turned to Chloe and Aylene and then she said to them "Well, that's so nice to meet you two and get to know the both of you at the same time!" and then she laughed evilly, thus scaring Chloe and Aylene as they stepped away from her a bit, and then Chloe asked her "Who are you?", and Chrysalis said "I'm Queen Chrysalis, the queen of the changelings!", but then she quickly added "Well, I was once, until your father, Thorax, dethroned me from my position and became the king of the changelings instead! But who needs my changelings that I have Yigal and his brothers, as well as that Black Heart as my companions?", and then she said to Chloe "I've heard you've turned 10 today!", and then she asked "Is that right?", and Chloe swallowed nervously before she said "Well, yes, technically, I guess.", and then Aylene added "Yigal told us that you'll be a guest of honor when we celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party.", and this made Chrysalis ask the Pegasus filly "What did you just said?", and Aylene answered "Yigal told us you're going to celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party with us.", and when Chrysalis heard what the young filly said, she turned back to Yigal and the others and then she asked "Yigal, is that true?", and he answered "Well, yes, Chrysalis. Now, take the girl and the filly with you to the exact place where we planned to celebrate the girl's birthday party. Black Heart, my brothers and I will use our animals to catch up with you three. Now go!", and then Yigal, his brothers and Black Heart all went and called for their animals, thus leaving Chloe and Aylene with Chrysalis.

Then, Chrysalis sat down onto her haunches and then she said to Chloe "Hop on my back, girl!", and Chloe was at first unsure is she should do so, but then she decided to accept Chrysalis's offering, and so she went to the former changeling queen and so she climbed up onto her back before she sat down on the green saddle on her back, and then Chrysalis stood back up on her hooves, and then she took off and satrted to fly away with Chloe, and Aylene was able to catch up to them because she also knows how to fly (and because Aylene was a Pegasus), and so the three flew together towards the exact place where they'll celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party with Yigal, Gilad, Ezra, Black Heart and their animals.

Meanwhile, back at the royal castle, Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and the mane seven all waited for Chloe and Aylene to come so they can finally celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday with them, and Spike and the CMC were also present, but after a while, they all suddenly started to worry abour Chloe and Aylene because they didn't came back to the royal castle, and there's no sign of the both of them anywhere around or nearby.

Everypony and every creature were so worried about Chloe and Aylene, and so Celestia and Luna sent Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to search for Chloe and Aylene everywhere, and the three searched for them from the skies, and eventually they all flew into the Everfree Forest to search for the both of them there.

Meanwhile, Chloe, Aylene and Chrysalis all flew in the Everfree Forest and after a while, the three finally landed in the exact place Yigal planned to celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party, and it seemed like he and his brothers, and Black Heart and their animals all have managed to arrive at the place first, and then Chrysalis let Chloe to climb down from her back once they landed on solid ground, while Aylene landed on the ground safely after she flew for a while with Chloe and Chrysalis.

Then, Yigal said "Now it's the time to celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party!", and then he and all the others, including Chloe and Aylene cheered up and called out loud all together, and then Black Heart said "Now it's the time to show the human girl and my former daughter the surprise we all have planned for the both of them!", and then Gilad said "Yes, of course!", and then Ezra said "Chloe, Aylene, you two must come with me if you both want to see the surprise we have for the both of you!", and Chloe and Aylene agreed to go with him as the now approximately 47 year-old adult human male began to lead the way, until Chloe, Aylene and all the others finally stopped in front of a large cage that was being covered by a very long red blanket, and then Chrysalis said "Behind that red blanket and inside that large cage, you'll both find out and see what's the ultimate surprise we all have prepared for the both of you!", and then she started to fly up and then she landed and stood on top of the large cage.

Then, Chrysalis used her magic to surround the red blanket that was covering the large cage in a green aura, and then she said to Chloe and Aylene "We'd like to present you two the most beautiful creature your eyes have ever seen! Behold when you both see the large and majestic creature which has the appearance of both a crocodile and an elephant! Meet the Crocophant!", and then she started to lift the red blank off the cage with her magic as she took off to the air, and when the red blanket was removed completely from the large cage, Chloe and Aylene could both see a large, scary and intimidating creature which has the appearance of both a crocodile and an elephant. Potentially more dangerous than both the Timberwolf and the Maulwurf, this creature was the only creature to have at least a part of its body with the appearance of an elephant, and its large size allowed it to potentially trample its enemies to death before it ate them, and by its scary appearance it had from both an elephant and a crocodile, this creature is known as the Crocophant, and they're extremely dangerous towards ponies, humans, changelings and other creatures, especially when these creatures has their own babies with them.

When Chloe and Aylene looked at the huge crocodile-elephant beast, it turned its head to them and them it nailed its eyes and face at the human girl and Pegasus filly, before it roared at them like an angry dinosaur and then it started to charge against the bars of the large cage in an attempt to set itself free so it can devour Chloe and Aylene, but then Lin Raju the mammophant grabbed a large piece of meat in his trunk and then he got his trunk inside the cage to give the hungry Crocophant the meat, but then the Crocophant turned to him, and then it bit Lin Raju on the trunk when it tried to snatch the meat from him, but then Ezra used a whip to attack the Crocophant to force him to let go of Lin Raju's trunk, and after being whipped three times by Ezra's wipe, the Crocophant finally let go of Lin Raju's trunk, but it still snatched the meat he dropped for it, and so the Crocophant picked up the piece of meat and then it started to eat it, but Chloe and Aylene both stepped aback in fear and terror when they both realized how dangerous is the Crocophant.

Then, Yigal turned to Chloe and Aylene and then he asked the two of them "Do you want to stroke this giant beast?", but Chloe said "No, no! I don't want to!", and Aylene added "Me neither! I don't even want to stand close to this beast!", and then Chloe said "She's right! That monster can easily destroy each of us in just one bite!", but then Black Heart said to them as she started to push the both of them towards the cage "But this is the ultimate gift we've been planning for you! both of you!", and as she started to push both Chloe and Aylene towards the large cage, Chloe screamed "Stop! Please, stop!", and Aylene added as she also screamed "I don't wanna be this close to this thing!", but then when Black Heart stopped pushing the both of them towards the cage, Chrysalis used her magic to open the cage so the Crocophant can come out of it and can be set free, and once Chrysalis opened the cage, the Crocophant came out of it as it was finally got set free, and then it fixed its eyes on both Chloe and Aylene who looked at the huge beast in fear and terror as it started to approach closer and closer to them, until it suddenly stopped right in front of them, and when they saw how big the Crocophant really is, the two swallowed nervously as they realized this creature is even bigger than Lin Raju the mammophant, causing them to shake and cower in fear and terror as the large beast just looked down at the both of them.

Then, Yigal said to the terrified human girl and Pegasus filly "Now, if you both excuse us, we all need to go!", and then Black Heart added "Enjoy your new ultimate birthday gift, Chloe! You too, Aylene!", and then Queen Chrysalis said "Goodbye girls!", and then she's about to use her magic to teleport herself and the others away, but then Chloe cried "Please don't the two of us all alone with this thing!", and then Aylene added "I don't want to stay anywhere near this evil monster! He can eat the both of us in any given moment!", and then the two cried out loud together "PLEASE TAKE US HOME!", but Gilad said to them "Let's see how you two will get along with the Crocophant!", and Ezra added "Yeah! I hope he doesn't eats either of you!", and then Queen Chrysalis said "Enjoy your new ultimate birthday gift we gave you two! Goodbye, girls! Have fun with your new beast!", and then she and the others all laughed evilly before she teleported herself and all the others away, thus leaving Chloe and Aylene all alone with the Crocophant.

Then, the Crocophant gave both Chloe and Aylene an evil smile full of sharp crocodile teeth with two large elephant tusks also protruding from its upper jaw, thus scaring the two as they finally decided they should run away while they can, and then they both started to run away, but the Crocophant also gave on a hot pursuit as it also tried to chase after the human girl and Pegasus filly whom he considered as his next meal.

Meanwhile, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all still searched for Chloe and Aylene, until they all suddenly heard someone screaming and then the screaming voices were followed by a monstrous roar, thus showing and proving the three mares that they're all getting close to find Chloe and Aylene, and they knew by the roars that something really big and extremely mean and cruel is chasing them and is trying to hunt them both down, and so Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all flew in the direction where the roars and screams all came from.

Back with Chloe and Aylene, they're both still running away for their lives from the ferocious and evil Crocophant who is doing everything it can and will to get the both of them as his next meal, and eventually Chloe and Aylene got trapped against a dead end, thus finally giving the Crocophant the chance it's been waiting for, and once it got close enough to the terrified human girl and Pegasus filly, it managed to trap them against the dead end and have them both cornered and surrounded, and this made Chloe scream for help "Somebody, help us!", and then Aylene screamed "Somepony, save us!", and then they both cowered in fear as the Crocophant approached closer and closer to the both of them as it was ready to devour them.

However, before the Crocophant was able to devour Chloe and Aylene, a familiar female voice suddenly shouted at it "Leave them alone!", and this made the Crocophant turned its head and see who's calling it, and when it looked up into the sky, it saw Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Fluttershy all flying down towards it, and so it decided to fight them all first before it's going to eat Chloe and Aylene as its next meal.

Then, Rainbow Dash flew down towards the Crocophant and then she punched the huge beast across the face with her hooves, but it did almost no effect on it, before it used its long and muscular elephant trunk to slap at the Pegasus mare and throw her out of its way, before Twilight flew down towards it and then she blasted at the huge beast's body with her magic, but it also did no effect due to its thick hides of both an elephant and a crocodile protecting it and making it tough and strong when it comes to Unicorn and Alicorn magic attacks.

Then, Fluttershy had no choice but she had to use her infamous star which was able to scare the Cockatrice and force it to leave the CMC (before Randall joined them) alone and to turn Twilight and one of Fluttershy's chickens back to normal, and she did managed to cause the Crocophant to turn away in fear as it never saw a pony that was able to use the stare on it, so Fluttershy decided to keep using her infamous stare to continue to scare the Crocophant which tried and kept avoiding her in shock and fear before it tripped over a rock and fell to the ground, and its head struck the ground and it caused the huge beast to be finally knocked out as it fell unconscious.

Once the Crocophant was defeated, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all turned to Chloe and Aylene, and the three mares approached them and then Twilight and Rainbow Dash placed their hooves on Chloe's shouldres and they began to say her name softly, while Fluttershy place her hoof on Aylene's head and then she began to stroke her mane and softly said her name, causing the two to finally look up and see the three mares looking down at them with soft and warm smiles, and then Twilight said to Chloe and Aylene "Thanks Celestia, you're both alright!", and then Rainbow Dash added "Yeah! You're both lucky we heard you both screaming for help so we can follow you and save you both from that ferocious beast that was trying to eat you!", but Chloe just said to the three mares as she turned away from them and looked away "I don't want to talk to you about my birthday! Everything's ruined! This is hopeless!", and then Aylene added "Just leave us alone, you three! We already know you don't want us to be anywhere around or near you all! Please, go away!", before the Pegasus filly also turned away from them and looked away alongside Chloe.

When the three mares heard what the human girl and Pegasus filly just said, Twilight said to them "That's not true at all! We all left you two these letters because we've been to busy preparing for your tenth birthday party, Chloe!", and then Rainbow Dash added and explained "We kept your birthday party a secret from Aylene and you just because we wanted your tenth birthday party to be a surprise!", but then Chloe snapped and said "No, you don't! You don't care about my birthday! I think you three are just lying to us about celebrating my birthday party!", and then Aylene added "I think so too! Yigal told us that he and his brothers, my former mother, and Queen Chrysalis will be celebrating Chloe's tenth birthday party with the both of us! We truly trusted him at first, but what kind of gift did we both received in the end? We nearly got eaten by a ferocious Crocophant!", and then Chloe said to the three mares "We're staying here so we don't get ourselves in any more trouble!", and then she and Aylene turned with their backs away from them.

"Chloe, Aylene, this time you two will celebrate the birthday party because we all have already prepared everything for it!", Rainbow Dash said to the two wounded sisters and best friends, but they both still kept themselves not looking at the three mares, and this made Fluttershy to finally stop into action, and so she started to go around Chloe and Aylene and then she stroked their hair and mane with both of her hooves and she softly and kindly said to them as they're both about to cry upon being tricked by Yigal and the others and almost getting themselves eaten by the Crocophant "There, there, little ones. It's okay, I know you're both angry and sad about falling for Yigal's dirty tricks he planned for you two. But it's okay, I'm angry at you two, and nor my friends. Please, come back with us to the royal castle. I promise you two that this time you'll get to celebrate the birthday party.".

Then, Fluttershy said to Chloe "Now get up and climb on Twilight's back, Chloe.", and then Rainbow Dash added "We'll be back in the royal castle in no time!", and when Chloe and Aylene wiped away their tears from their eyes and looked up at Fluttershy's reassuring smile, they both finally rebuilt their trusting bonds with their friends, and so Chloe got up on her feet, and then she went to Twilight and then she climbed on the Alicorn's back, while Aylene started to take off and fly on her own as the three mares all started to take off and fly, with Aylene following them close behind as they all left the Everfree Forest and went back to the royal castle.

Once they all arrived at the royal castle, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy led Chloe and Aylene with them towards the large room where the Grand Galloping Gala is held and used to celebrate the completion of Canterlot after Equestria was founded, and when the three mares opened the doors, Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and all the others called out for Chloe all together "Surprise!".

At first, Chloe and Aylene were confused as they saw everything already prepared for the birthday party, and then Chloe asked "Why are you all here?", and Aylene added "What's all that supposed to be?", and Celestia said "It's for your tenth birthday, Chloe!", and then Thorax added "Yeah, that's right! Everything you both are seeing here right now is for the birthday party! Everything's real!", and this made Chloe ask "What?", and then Luna said "We've been preparing for your birthday party the whole time!", and then Pharynx added "And now that you're both here in the right time, we can all celebrate the birthday party we prepared for you!", and then everyone (except for Aylene) said to Chloe all together "Happy birthday, Chloe!", and this finally made Chloe and Aylene happy to know that they're not forgotten and/or rejected after all, and so they all started to celebrate Chloe's tenth birthday party.

Once the birthday party is over, it was already evening, and so everypony and every creature went back to their homes, while Chloe and Aylene went back to their bedroom, then they both entered it, and then they climbed onto their bed and covered themselves in the blanket, before the two finally yawned and then they both closed their eyes and fell asleep together, and for both Chloe and Aylene, it was a wonderful time they'll never forget.
