When morning came, Chloe and Aylene woke up and went to eat some breakfast, before they both went out of the royal castle and they headed to the meadow together, where they met up with the CMC, Sandbar, Ocellus, Smolder and Yona, and then they all met Shujaa, who is now ready to take them all with him to meet yet another friend of his that lives in the Everfree Forest.

Then, everypony and every creature started to follow Shujaa into the Everfree Forest as they're all so excited to meet that yet another friend of his, and once they all reached the right place where Shujaa's friend lives, Shujaa said to everypony and every creature "Well, here we are! This is exactly where my friend lives!", but then everypony and every creature all heard a crocodile snarling from right behind one of the nearby bushes, and when they heard the scary snarl, they all (except for Chloe, Aylene and Smolder) shook in fear.

Then, a crocodile came right out of one of the bushes and then it said in a female voice "Huh? Who goes there?", but when the crocodile turned her head to see Shujaa, she recognized him and then she said to him happily "Shujaa, it's you again! That's so nice to see you again, my friend!", and then she quickly crawled towards him and then she jumped on him and wrapped her forelegs around his neck, but Shujaa wasn't afraid of what she's doing at all, before he grabbed her and placed her back down on the ground to look at her in the eyes, and then he said to her "It's good to see you too, Shadie!".

Then, he turned back to the others whom are all (except for Chloe, Aylene and Smolder) shaking in fear upon seeing Shadie for the first time, because they believed she's one of Lysander's float, but then Shujaa said to them "It's okay, every creature! Don't be alarmed! Shadie won't do to any of you any harm at all! She's a very good friend of mine! She's so good, friendly and kind and she's not even a part of Lysander's float! You can all calm down! Shadie won't harm anybody, she won't especially if you treat her right!", and once everypony and every creature all heard what the albino orangutan said, they slowly stopped shaking and then they all started to calm down.

Then, Shadie spoke up and said "Do not fear me just because I'm a crocodile, new visitors. I won't hurt even a tiny fly. As long as you treat me right, I'd like to be friends with you too.", and when Chloe approached a bit closer to her, she asked her "Are you really a good crocodile?", and Shadie answered "In fact, yes I am.", and then Aylene asked her "And you know who Lysander is?", and Shadie answered "Yes, I know who that evil scam for a crocodile is. I hate him and his float for what they did to my float in the past.", and when Sweetie Belle came closer to her, she asked the female crocodile "What do you mean by that? What did Lysander and his float did to you before?", and Shadie answered "He killed my entire float. He used his magic he was born with to kill my mother, my father, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, and all of my siblings, thus leaving me an orphan and all alone to live and fend for myself, when I was just a young juvenile.".

"It's outrageous! How could Lysander and his float just kill your entire family and leave you all alone like that?!" Sandbar asked as his brows furrowed in anger as he thought of Lysander's heartlessness towards an entire family from his own kind, and then Apple Bloom cried "We promise you we'll find a way to take down all of his evil crocodiles so we can get close enough to him to finish him off for good for everything bad he have already done!".

Then, Shadie introduced herself and said "Anyway, my name is Shadie, and I'm a female.", and Ocellus said to her "We already know you're a female, because we already heard your voice!", and this made Shadie chuckle a bit before she said "Well, thank you for knowing I'm a female and not a male!", and then she added "Now how about we'll start playing all together! I know a place in the Everfree Forest which I go to and visit almost every single day to play in there for as much as I want!", and then Shujaa said to everypony and every creature "Did you all heard what Shadie just said? She wants you all to come with her to where she used to play almost every day!", and then Chloe cried "Let's go!", and then everyone started to follow Shadie deeper into the Everfree Forest to where she used to play for as much as she wanted almost every day.

When everypony and every creature finally reached the exact place where Shadie used to play almost every day, they saw it looked beautiful, with flowers in all kinds of colors blooming around, a beautiful lake with fresh water and fishes swimming inside, and there are also lots of trees, and some of which have tasty fruits growing on them. Chloe, Aylene and their friends were all amazed by how Shadie's place looks like, due to how beautiful and fruitful it is, and soon they all started to play around all together, and Shujaa watched them all with a happy smile across his face.

Then, Shadie said to Shujaa that she must go and find some food for herself, and she meant for only dead creatures, because she would never like or dare to kill any living creatures to have a meal to feed herself, and to her, eating dead creatures is a good thing not just for her own benefits, but was also a part of the circle of life, because when she eats dead creatures, she disposes of their bodies because they've already finished their own part in the circle of life, thus doing for them a last favor after they die.

However, after searching for dead creatures to eat, Shadie found and met Gallus, and then she befriended the griffon, despite he's sarcastic. However, after the two got to know each other for the first time, they're soon being surrounded by a familiar float of crocodiles that Shadie didn't wanted and didn't expected to see - Lysander's float. When Lysander and his float (which now consists three crocodiles, excluding Lysander himself) approached both Shadie and Gallus, this is when Shadie said to them as she snarled in anger "Leave us alone, or I'll have to fight you!", as she prepared herself to attack the four evil crocodiles.

However, Lysander chuckled and said to her "Relax, girl, we're coming in peace.", but then Shadie asked him "Excuse me? What was that you're just talking to me about?", and then Lysander answered "Well, let's say I wanna share a meal with you, my dear.", but then Shadie asked him "What kind of meal do you wanna share with me?", and Lysander said with an evil smile "We can share eating that griffon together, of course!" and he also pointed a claw directly at Gallus, who looked at him with an angry and determined face, but then Shadie jumped in front of him and looked at Lysander with angry face and eyes as she yelled at him "I won't let you eat Gallus, you evil monster!", but then Lysander turned tail to her and then he smacked at her and knocked her out of the way with his own tail, before he evilly said to his float "Now, let's eat that griffon!", and then the four evil crocodiles began to crawl fast towards Gallus, but instead of flying away, Gallus stood tall and proud before he started to charge and fight against the crocodiles, and in mid-fight, Gallus managed to grab and throw a large rock which hit one of the crocodiles on the head, thus killing him, leaving Lysander with just two more crocodiles left by his side.

However, Gallus still looked determined as he kept glaring at the evil crocodiles who approached him, before Lysander snarled at him and angrily said "You'll pay for killing one of my float, stupid griffon!", and then he jumped up and he was about to snap his jaws at Gallus, but the griffon managed to dodge the attack and he kept his eyes glaring at the shape-shifting crocodile, but before Lysander can get any closer to Gallus to attack him some more, he's suddenly pulled back by his tail, and when Lysander turned around to see what's pulling him back by his tail, he saw Shadie biting on his tail and she was trying to pull him away from Gallus, much to the male crocodile's shock and anger to know that a female crocodile like Shadie would dare to mess up with him and fight him just to save the life of a new friend.

Then, when Lysander tried to attack her to get her grip loose from his tail, Shadie managed to smack at his face with her own tail to knock him out of the way as she let go of his tail immediately after she smacked at him with her own tail, much to Gallus' shock and surprise to see how strong is Shadie for a female crocodile, before she snarled angrily at Lysander and then she said to him "Never underestimate a female like me, you big idiot!", but then she's pinned down and captured by Lysander's two remaining crocodiles, and she struggled to get the two male crocodiles off her back as they managed to get ahold of her and restrain her, and that's when Lysander approached her and said to her "Well, I don't think so!", and then he added "You're the most stupidest female crocodile I've ever met before!", but before he can snap at her, Gallus swooped down at him and punched him in the upper jaw and cried "You're wrong, you monster! Shadie is not stupid! YOU ARE!" he shouted angrily at Lysander, who just gave back to him an evil smirk, but before he can snap his jaws shut at Gallus, Shujaa suddenly came out of nowhere and then he started to attack Lysander's two remaining crocodiles, and once he knocked them both out cold, he helped Shadie get back up on her feet, before he turned angrily to Lysander, and then the albino orangutan gave out an angry growl at him, causing Lysander to back away and run for his life, but not before Shujaa and Gallus grabbed and picked up the two male crocodiles, and then they threw them up and the two crocodiles struck down and hit Lysander on the back, causing him to snarl in pain, before he threw the two unconscious crocodiles off himself and then he continued to run away and retreat for his life.

When Lysander was gone from sight, Gallus turned to Shujaa and then he asked him "Why did you just helped me?", and Shujaa explained "For all these years, I was evil, but recently, I have changed and became much friendlier, and I know most of your friends very well as they now trust me and love me as we do lots of fun together from time to time!", and then he said "Now let's go and meet your friends! They might be so happy to know that we have just met each other and made good allies!", and then he started to lead Gallus and Shadie back to where the beautiful place Shadie used to play in is located so they can meet up with the others.

When they finally arrived back in the beautiful place where Shadie used to play, she, Gallus and Shujaa were all greeted by Chloe, Aylene and all the others when they saw Gallus is with them, because it was a proof that tells clearly that Gallus already knows about Shujaa's firm transition to the side of good, and the griffon also explained that Lysander and his float have attacked him and Shadie, but they managed to fight and kill one of the float before Shujaa came to knock the other two out cold and chase Lysander away, and everypony and every creature were all amazed to hear about Gallus' brave side and about his and Shadie's fight against the other (evil) crocodiles, before Shujaa came to help them too.

Then, Shadie said "But right now, I think it's time for us to say goodbye.", and then she added "By the way, it's nice to meet you, Gallus. Goodbye and good luck.", and then she turned to go and crawled deeper into the Everfree Forest and eventually disappeared from sight, but not before everyone called for her and said goodbye out loud to her as they all waved for her. Once Shadie was gone from sight completely, Shujaa started to lead everypony and every creature (now including Gallus) out of the Everfree Forest and back to the meadow where they started their fun day, and this is when Shujaa said goodbye to everyone as he's about to go back to the Everfree Forest to get back to Yigal, Gilad, Ezra and Black Heart before it's nighttime.

Once Shujaa was gone from sight, everypony and every creature (now including Gallus) turned to go back to Ponyville and Canterlot, and they all managed to get back in time before nighttime came, and once it was nighttime in Equestria, Chloe and Aylene ate some dinner with Celestia and Luna, before the human girl and Pegasus filly went to their bedroom and finally fell asleep.
