Deep inside the big cave he found, Stephan slept alone, but what he doesn't know is that he accidentally intruded into someone else's home, which means that he's not the only one inside the cave he found, and soon or later, he's going to find out that he accidentally made a huge mistake. However, Stephan still don't know that inside the big cave, he's not alone.

Then, a shadow of what appeared to be another centaur appeared and then it started to approach the sleeping Stephan, but to make matters worse - there was more than just one centaur-like shadow, and in fact, there are actually nine of them, which means that Stephan won't be able to defend or protect himself from all of them at once (when he'll wake up and turn and see them all coming right towards him).

Then, one of the centaur-like shadows suddenly whispered "Who's that white centaur?", and then another asked "What was he doing here in our cave?", and then a third asked "Is he dangerous?", but then a fourth whispered and said "Whoever that white centaur is, I'm gonna go for him!", and so one of the centaur-like shadows slowly approached the still sleeping Stephan and when it stopped right in front of him, the centaur-like shadow who approached him then lowered down and then it used two fingers from one of its human hands to pluck one hair from Stephan's head, thus provoking him, and causing him to cry and say "Ouch!", before he then rubbed at his own head with one of his own human hands, but once he was stopped doing so, he then opened his eyes and turned to look up and see the centaur-like shadow standing in front of him, but also towering over him.

However, then, Stephan stood up on his hooves to reach up to the same height as the centaur-like shadow, and then he asked "Um, excuse me, but who are you?", but then the centaur-like shadow asked him back in a rather rude, male voice tone "Who are you?", and then Stephan said "Well, I'm Stephan. Sorry to intrude, Sir.", and then he added "I didn't know it was your cave. I'm sorry.", but then the centaur-like shadow said to him "You, white centaur, go away and don't come back, do you hear me?", but then Stephan asked "White centaur? Who?", and then the shadowed centaur yelled at him "You! That's who!", and then he added "Now go away before I will have to kick you out of here by force, white centaur!", and then Stephan "Okay, I'm going!", and then he added "Just take it easy, Sir. I'm leaving your cave right now. It's fine.", and then he turned to leave the cave, but before he's about to leave, he turned back to see the shadowed centaur looking at him with scowling eyes, while the shadowed centaur's friends all looked at him with shocked and surprised eyes instead, and then Stephan simply said to all of them "Goodbye, and goodnight." before he finally turned to go and so he finally left the cave and started to walk away and search for a new place where he can stay and sleep for the night.

Later, after searching for an empty place where he can sleep for almost an hour, Stephan finally found another, yet much smaller cave that is barely big enough for himself to go and fit inside, and so Stephan went inside the much smaller cave he just found and finally fell asleep, and without anyone else inside the smaller cave besides him, Stephan cannot be disturbed, as he now finally got a good place where he can finally sleep without being kicked out of place by anyone else. This time, Stephan can finally sleep peacefully.

When next morning came, Stephan woke up, got up on his hooves and left the cave to search for some food to eat, but after searching for an available source of food he can eat everywhere, Stephan suddenly stumbled upon a group of nine weird and different-looking centaurs which he did not expected to see for the first time in his entire life. The nine centaurs who looked different than Stephan had the upper bodies of either Ethiopian or African-American people, and the lower bodies, legs and tails of zebras instead of horses, which makes them a cousin species which was, in fact, related to Stephan's species - the nine weird and bizarre-looking centaurs were none other than zebra centaurs (or 'Zebrataurs' for short).

At first, Stephan didn't know if he should go forward to meet them and try to talk to them or not, but after a few minutes of thinking to himself, Stephan finally made it up in his mind, and so he decided to go to meet the Zebrataurs and try to talk to them. However, when the Zebrataurs turned and saw Stephan coming towards them, one of them, a male, suddenly cried "Ahhhhhhhhhh! It's the white centaur who intruded into our cave before!", and then another Zebrataur, a female (or A.K.A - a Zebratauress), added "We gotta run away now! That white centaur might bring us lots of harm if he comes too near us!", and then another male, which was possibly the leader of their group, yelled to the rest of the Zebrataurs "Run for your lives!", and so the nine Zebrataurs all started to trot and gallop away in an attempt to avoid Stephan, whom they all believed might be dangerous to them, or might try to mean them all lots of harm if any of them will try to talk to him back.

When Stephan noticed them running away from him upon seeing him coming towards then, he then called for them all "No, wait! Come back! I mean you all no harm! I just wanna talk to you!", but the Zebrataurs didn't stopped dead in their tracks and they continued to trot and gallop away from Stephan in an attempt to lose him, and all of them managed to escape and disappear from Stephan's eyesight, much to his dismay to know that they don't like him for being a 'white centaur', and so he gave up the pursuit after the Zebrataurs and he decided to go and find someplace where he can rest but not sleep for the upcoming noon, and after searching for someplace good for himself to rest, Stephan entered a meadow where he found a big and tall tree and he decided to go and rest under it for the upcoming noon, and once under the tree, Stephan rested down under it and started to feel relaxed and comforted, before he closed his eyes and started to take slow and deep breathes as he listened to the sounds of the winds which blew softly, and to the sounds of some singing birds which chirped right above him, on some of the branches of the tree.

For about a long hour, Stephan relaxed under the tree he found, but then he suddenly heard someone giggling at him, and when Stephan opened his eyes, he saw a male baby Zebrataur sitting down on his lower horse chest and torso and looking down at him with a cute smile, much to Stephan's shock and surprise to see a Zebrataur this close to him, especially if the baby one giggling at him is sitting down on his lower horse chest and torso and looking down at him with a cute smile. Stephan looked up at the baby Zebra who sat down on him and then he asked him "Excuse me, little one? What are you thinking you're doing here on my lower horse chest and torso?", but the male baby Zebrataur then said in baby language "Wu ar yu, Mr. Waite sentaor?", and Stephan who barely understood what the baby Zebrataur said answered back "I'm Stephan.", and then he asked him "What are you doing here all alone by yourself?", and then the baby Zebrataur said "Wel, ai aksidentaly wandered tuu far awey from de rest of mai herd, end ai hev no aidia were ai em nauu.".

Stephan tried to translate what the baby Zebrataur said to know what did he meant to in adult language, and after doing so, Stephan then asked the baby Zebrataur "And what's your name, little one?", and the baby Zebrataur said (in baby language) "Mai name is Timmy!", and then Stephan said to him after hearing his name "You've got quite a good name for someone around your age.", and then Timmy said to him back "Fenks, Stefan.", and then Stephan asked him "Would you like me to take you with me so we can search for your herd so I can bring you back to them?", and then Timmy said "Shur! Ai maiit es wel ask dem if yu can join aur herd!", and when Stephan heard what Timmy just said, the teenage male centaur gasped in shockbefore he asked "Do you think you can really do that for me?", and then he added and explained "I'm all on my own and all by myself, so I don't really have a herd of my own.", and then Timmy said "Shur! Ai hev an older sister wu is araund yur aig, end ai'm shur shi will aksept yu intu de herd if yu tek me wif yu bek tu de rest of de herd!", and then Stephan said to him "I'll take you back to where you belong, but first, you need to get off my lower horse chest and torso so I can roll onto my side and then stand up on my hooves!", and then Timmy stood back up onto his hooves before jumping off Stephan's lower horse chest and torso, and once Timmy was off him, Stephan then rolled onto his side and then he slowly stood back up on his hooves, thus shocking and surprising Timmy with his tall height, which was for an average teenage centaur between 5 and 6 feet (between 1.5 and 1.8 meters) tall (adult centaurs may have an average height of as much as 7 or 8 feet (2.1 or 2.4 meters) tall).

Then, Stephan said to him "Follow me, Timmy, and I promise you I will take you back to your herd, but we must search for them first.", and then Timmy said "Okey! Ai'm wif yu, Stefan! Ai wont leev yur saiid! Ai promes!", and then Stephan said "Let's go, Timmy! Let's go and find your herd!", and then, the teenage centaur and the baby Zebrataur started to walk away from the tree and from the meadow, and then they started to search for the Zebrataurs herd together, and with Timmy is now on his side, Stephan got for himself a new friend and ally to which he can help by taking him back to his herd, whom are all probably worried sick by now from their youngster's disappearance.

As for Chloe, Aylene and all the others, they all went together to search for Stephan once again and they all hoped that this time, they will find him, try to reason with him and persuade him to return with all of them back home to Ponyville. Meanwhile, Stephan and Timmy were searching for the Zebrataurs herd (which Timmy was part of) so Stephan can give Timmy back to them, and he also hoped that in return for giving their youngster back to them, the Zebrataurs will accept him into their herd and will also accept him as one of them.

Then, after searching for Timmy's herd for a while, the centaur (Stephan) and the Zebrataur (Timmy) accidentally stumbled upon one of Terrence's Liontaurs, a male, and they saw he was enjoying feasting on an unfortunate antelope which he hunted and killed for food, and it also seemed like he didn't noticed the two equine centaurs whom are both looking at him enjoying feasting on the antelope. However, Timmy then asked Stephan in shock "Wat is dis fing?", and then Stephan said to him "It's a Liontaur, Timmy. And I surely know to who this one belongs - to Terrence!", and then Timmy asked him "Wu'z Terens?", and then Stephan said "He's an abusive big male African bush elephant who likes to destroy babies and children! Especially innocent little girls! And also because he's the last of his kind in all of Equestria!", and when Timmy heard what Stephan said, he then turned to look at the male Liontaur, who is still feasting on his antelope, and then he asked "So, doz dat mins dat Laiontaor wil der tu hart as?", and then Stephan said "Yes, Timmy, but right now, he seems to enjoy his meal he caught for himself.", and then he added "Whatever you do, do not come any closer to that Liontaur so he won't-", but then he is cut in mid-sentence when the male Liontaur heard Stephan's warning words, which distracted him from his meal, and then he let out a loud and angrily roar at both him and Timmy, thus prompting them to gallop away together before the male Liontaur decided to take off and dump his meal behind and chase after them instead.

Stephan and Timmy tried to outrun and escape the male Liontaur, but after a long chase, the two ran into a dead end, which was in this case - a tall rock wall, and then the male Liontaur caught up to them and had them both trapped and cornered against the tall rock wall, and he prepared to strike them and finish them off for good, but then a male voice screamed and yelled behind the male Liontaur "Leave Timmy alone!", and this prompted the male Liontaur to turn back and see eight teenage Zebrataurs (which are the same ones whom Stephan first met in their cave, with Timmy being the ninth (which Stephan didn't noticed and saw until the baby Zebrataur got lost and found him instead)), and when Stephan and Timmy turned to see the Zebrataurs standing tall and proud all together and quickly getting the male Liontaur's attention, and when Stephan and Timmy saw one of the female Zebrataurs, which stood second on the left side with the rest of the herd, Timmy then cried for her "Sister!", and the teenage Zebratauress saw him too and cried "Timmy! Don't worry, my sweet little brother! We're coming to save you!", and then a male Zebrataur (which was the leader of the herd) cried and yelled "Charge!", and then the Zebrataurs started to gallop together towards the male Liontaur, who didn't had much time to react, and then they all started to attack him from all directions, and after a few minutes of fighting the male Liontaur, the leader of the Zebrataurs gave the feline centaur a final blow by stabbing him in the upper human chest and torso with a spear through the mane, thus killing the ferocious beast for good (and leaving Terrence with two more Liontaurs on his side - a last male Liontaur and the one and only Liontauress (female)).

With the third male Liontaur is dead, Timmy then trotted and galloped towards one of the Zebratauresses, the one which was his older sister, and she too saw him coming towards her so she too went towards him as well, and when they got close enough to each other, Timmy then jumped up and hugged at his older sister's chest and cried "Big sister! Ai'm so sory ai wandered awey laik ai did! Pliz, forgiv mi!", and then tears formed and rolled down his eyes and he started to cry, but then his older sister said to him kindly "Shhh, it's okay, Timmy. I don't blame you. It happens to every baby, and not just to you, my dear little brother. I forgive you, Timmy. I will always love you, and I will never be angry at you. I promise.", and when the older Zebratauress managed to calm Timmy down, she then turned and noticed Stephan standing there and looking at her and at the rest of the herd from nearby, and then she asked her little brother "Timmy, who is that white centaur who is standing right there and was looking at all of us?", and then Timmy turned to Stephan and said "Big sister, dis is mai neu frend, Stefan.", and then he added "Hi helped mi sirch for yu ol end giv mi som neu kompani. Hi wonts tu join aur herd.", and then Stephan took a step forward and said "Hi there, I'm Stephan!".

However, when the rest of the Zebrataurs herd also turned and noticed Stephan nearby, they all galloped towards him and they all stopped right in front of him, and then the male leader of their herd stepped forward and in front of his herd to confront Stephan. Then, the male Zebrataur leader asked Stephan with a scowl on his face "What are you still doing here?!", and then he added "I thought I warned you to stay away from my herd, white centaur!", but then Stephan said to him back "Hey, hey! Calm down! I don't wanna fight you or any member of your herd! I'm just here to give you all your lost youngster! That's all!", but the Zebrataur leader then asked him "Do you have a name, white centaur?", and then Stephan said "Well, yes. My name is Stephan, and I tried to tell you my name once, but it seems like you don't listen or mind my name.", but then the Zebrataur leader grabbed with both of his human arms and hands at Stephan's neck and then he yelled at him "What did you just said?!", and then he started to choke the teenage centaur while still keeping looking at him with a scowling face.

However, then, Timmy cried "Brenden, pliz, stop it nau! Yu'r chowking him!", but then the Zebrataur leader (whose name is 'Brandon') turned back to Timmy, and then he cruelly kicked the baby Zebrataur in the lower horse underbelly with a hind zebra leg and yelled at him "You stay out of this, Timmy! I'm the leader here in this herd, not you! So you better not talk to me or else I will kick you harder than that!", and then he turned back to Stephan and yelled at him "And you, Stephan! How dare you show up after you intruded into our cave the night before?!", but then Stephan tried to speak up and say as he felt Brandon's hands choking at his neck "I'm sorry I intruded into your cave before! I just need a new home where I can stay, as well as new friends!", and then Brandon rudely asked "Excuse me?!", and then Stephan begged "Please let go of my neck! I can't breath! I wanna join your herd! I'm all alone with no other centaurs around with me!", but then Brandon yelled at him "What are you saying?! Are you really all alone and on your own, white centaur?!", and then Stephan nodded and said "Yes! Now let go of my neck! You're choking my windpipe!", and then Brandon let go and released his grip from Stephan's neck, but then he pushed him down and caused him to fall down and strike the ground with both his upper human back and lower horse back.

Then, he looked up to see Brandon towering over him while still glaring him with scowling eyes, before the Zebrataur leader said "You're allowed to join my herd, white centaur! But I give you a warning! I give you four days to officially become part of my herd! Do you hear me?! FOUR DAYS!", and then he added "If you show us all how loyal you really are to all of us, then you're a part of my herd, but if you fail - you will be banished from the herd and will never be allowed to come back to us ever again!", and then he lowered down, looked at Stephan close and right in the eyes before he then angrily yelled at him in the face "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!", and Stephan said "Yes, I do.", and then Brandon said "Now that's a good white centaur!", and then he yelled at him "And now, come along!", and then Stephan slowly got back up on his hooves and then he simply said "Okay.", and then he started to follow behind Brandon and his Zebrataurs herd all the way back to their cave, and this is when his four days to prove himself loyal to the Zebrataurs herd so he can officially become a part of their herd began.
