Later, Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and the Rhinotauress (who became their newest best friend) all left the cave and then they all started to search for a way out of the Everfree Forest, and on the way, Stephan asked the Rhinotauress "What's your name?", and then the Rhinotauress said and answered back "Tah.", and when the girls heard what she said about her own name, Chloe said "Wow, what a short name you have, Tah.", and then Aylene added "But your name is still cool, I have to admit.", and when Tah the Rhinotauress heard what they said, she blushed at their comments and said "Thank you both, girls.".

Then, Stephan asked her "Well, Tah, now that we know your name, why don't you tell us about your past?", and then Tah sighed and said "Fine, allow me to explain and tell you everything you three need to know about me.", and while they're keeping walking together, Tah explained "When I was just a little baby, I lost my mother and father to poachers, who hunted them down for their horns, similar to how ordinary rhinos were hunted for their horns.", and then Aylene asked "Why?", but then Chloe and Stephan shushed her, before Tah explained "Humans believe that rhinos' horns were useful and they're used for traditional medicine.".

When the three friends heard what Tah said about rhinos' horns being used for traditional medicine, Stephan said in pure disgust "That's horrible! How could humans just kill rhinos or even Rhinotaurs for their horns and just use them for such thing as traditional medicine?!", and then Tah sighed and said "Because some people believe that rhinos' horns were capable of curing cancer, but I know that rhinos' horns were, in fact, almost completely useless in helping people when it comes to curing dangerous diseases.", but then Chloe said "I may be a human myself, but I will never, ever kill a rhinoceros for its horns! It would be simply barbaric just like the way poachers always do!", and then Aylene added "Some bad ponies who were outlaws who hate the princesses and/or the elements of harmony may also kill rhinos for their horns, as they believe that they may increase the powers of using magic in Unicorns!", and when Tah heard what the teenage Pegasus mare said, she said back "I already know that as well, as some of the poachers who kill my kind for their horns weren't only people, but also ponies as well. That's the bitter truth, and I already know this for years.".

Then, Stephan said to her "I'm so sorry to hear that, Tah, but even I know this is truth as it is both on planet earth and also here in Equestria.", and then Tah said "Do you three wanna what rhinos and Rhinotaurs' horns were made of?", and then Aylene cried "Oh, yes! Tell us, please! I always wanted to know what rhinos' horns were made of, but I never really got the answer!", and then Tah said and explained "Let me tell and explain what you three need to know - rhinos and Rhinotaurs' horns were made out of keratin, and not out of bone.", and then Chloe said "I already know that! My grandmother once told me when I was just three years old that rhinos horns are made out of keratin! This is the exact same material from which people's fingernails like mine and horses and ponies' hooves are made!".

When Aylene heard what Chloe said, she asked in shock "Did you said that your humankind's fingernails and ponykind's hooves were both made out of keratin?!", and then Chloe said "Yes! Without the keratin in our fingernails and in your hooves, none of us would have existed!", and then Tah interrupted and said "I'm not surprised either. Almost all living land animals have keratin in their fingernails, toenails, claws and even horns.", and then Stephan asked "And what happened to you next, Tah? I mean what happened after these filthy and unkind poachers killed your parents?", and then Tah explained "Well, after my parents were killed for their horns, the poachers captured me alive and sold me in the Equestrian black market so I can be bought and kept locked up in a cage until I was old enough to be shot and killed for my own horns.".

When Stephan heard what she said, he yelled "This is so barbaric thing to do to baby animals AND to baby centaurs from different species!", and then Tah explained "But I managed to escape. One night, I managed to break out and escape from my cage, and then I started to run away for my life, but some bad ponies chased after me and their Unicorn partners and friends even tried to shoot me, and they ended up blasting, striking and hitting me in the right hind rhinoceros leg. Luckily, I wasn't scarred, but I was only wounded by the Unicorns' blasting magic, and I kept running away as fast as still could, before I finally collapsed a few miles away, near a Rhinotaur sanctuary, where good humans and ponies who coexist together in the same sanctuary were working together in order to prevent Rhinotaurs from going extinct.".

"I was found by two humans and two ponies, who then carried me together into the Rhinotaur sanctuary, and this is where I was raised alongside some other baby Rhinotaurs who also lost their parents to poachers, and my injuries were treated properly and my right hind rhinoceros leg eventually healed. Years later, when I grew up and became a healthy juvenile with a short horn growing on my forehead and a second, much shorter one just starting to grow on the top of my head, I was taught about the meanings of friendship, and much unlike the rest of the juvenile Rhinotaurs I grew up with in the sanctuary, I listened and paid attention to everything the humans and ponies told us about friendship, but in doing so, I was turned away by all the other juvenile Rhinotaurs I grew up with in the sanctuary.".

When Aylene heard what Tah said about that part in her own past, the teenage turquoise Pegasus mare cried "This is so outrageous! How could your own kind turn you away for listening and paying attention to the meanings of friendship?! This makes me so mad!", and then Tah said in agreement "Yes, I was horribly mistreated by the rest of my own kind with also lived with me in the same sanctuary.", but then she added "But years later, things got better when I grew up and eventually became a mature adolescent, because this is when I was released back to the wild alongside all the other mature adolescent Rhinotaurs, whom I grew up with since I was just an orphaned baby.".

But then she added "The bad news, however, came and struck and hit me back when I became a mature adult at last, because I wanted to find a mate whom I can pair with for life, and so I was looking for males I can mate with, but none of them came for me because I was a good and kind Rhinotauress, and my perfect and proper knowledge of friendship and of its meanings only disgusted them for the most, and so every male I wanted to pair with only rejected when I came and got near, thus leaving me mateless and lonely.".

When Chloe heard that part of Tah's past life story, she said with anger burning in her eyes "I can't believe all males from your own kind would dare to reject and avoid you so randomly only because of your perfect and proper knowledge of friendship and of its meanings! It's just sickening and unforgivable, and Stephan, Aylene and I would like to give some beatings to each and every male who turned you away for no good reason at all!", but then Tah said "But when it looked like things were going bleak for me, I finally found and paired with a male Rhinotaur who also liked friendship and its meanings, because he too was been raised and taught about friendship when he was young, and like me, he too paid a lot of attention, and this is why he and I chose each other for mates, much to all the other Rhinotaurs' pure disgust, and all the males and all the females (from both genders) were sickened by our love for friendship and also for each other, and so they all wanted to kill the both of us for choosing to be good Rhinotaurs, but luckily for the both of us, we both managed to escape with our lives, and then we successfully paired for life without any more interference.".

When Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all heard what she said, Stephan said to Tah "Woah! I can't believe that even after all the males turned you away and kept avoiding you, you found one adult male from your own kind who is actually good and kind like you to pair with! Now your past life story gets good at this point!", and then Tah said "Yes, it is, but it's not always the way I thought it would be.", and when the three friends all heard what she said, Aylene asked "What do you mean, Tah? What happened to you and to your husband after you paired with each other?", and then tears started to form and threatened to escape Tah's eyes as she knew she had no choice but to continue and tell what happened to both her husband and to herself.

Then, Tah continued and explained "One day, when my husband and I we're going on a long walk together, my husband was suddenly shot in the back by poachers, and this is when I turned around and saw them aiming their guns at him, but rather than running away for my life, I angrily went up to them and charged at them and destroyed their weapons, and then I angrily screamed andthe yelled at them all to go away, and then I reared up and trampled one of the evil poachers under my lower rhinoceros body and killed him, thus shocking and scaring the other poachers, who quickly turned to go and quickly ran away and left me alone with my injured husband, but when I came back to him, my husband was gone.".

When Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all heard what she said about her husband being shot and killed by the poachers, Chloe and Aylene gasped in shock and fright, while Stephan, on the other hand, was angered by what he just heard, before he then yelled "Those poachers, I would like to buck them very hard and teach them all lessons! Hard lessons!", and then Tah finally stopped dead in her tracks and then she herself started to shed tears and said tearfully "They took my husband away from me! They ruined and destroyed my life! They made me feel miserable again!", but then Chloe asked her "And what happened to you next?", and then Tah the Rhinotauress sniffled and then she tried to calm herself down and then she continued and tell the last part in her past life story.

"However, even after my husband was shot, I realized that not everything is gone from my life for good. I still had myself, and soon I realized I'm going to face a wonderful surprise that will change my life forever.", and then Stephan asked her "What kind of surprise is going to change your life forever? What are you hiding from us that we don't yet know?", and then Tah gave them all a smile and said "I'm pregnant!", and when the three friends all heard these two last words she just said, they all gasped in shock before they all yelled in a surprised tone all together (and in unison) "YOU'RE WHAT?!", and then Tah said and answered "I'm pregnant.", and then she added "I was just afraid you three might hate me too if I told you that before we left that cave, but I beg you, please don't hate me and/or turn on me for me being pregnant and for me going to have my own child!", and then she shook a little bit as she thought the three teenage friends would randomly turn against her and will attack her for telling them that she's pregnant.

However, instead of attacking her, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all jumped on Tah and started to hug her tightly around her massive body, and then Chloe said "Weren't angry at you for you being pregnant, Tah!", and then Aylene added "We would like to make friends with your new child too, when you give birth to her or him, of course!", and then Stephan "Your baby's gonna be so cute! I bet even more than my own younger twin siblings!", and then he quickly added "But I'm still sure that they and the rest of the little ones would like to meet her or him once she or he is born!", and then Tah said to her three new friends "Thank you all, my friends!", as Aylene was trying to use her forehooves to wipe away the tears forming in the Rhinotauress' eyes, and once the four friends broke their hug, they all continued to walk together and after walking for what seemed like a few hours, Chloe, Aylene, Stephan and Tah all finally saw the way out of the Everfree Forest, and so they all started to run together as fast as they could towards the opening which leads in and out of the Everfree Forest.

However, before they can all leave the Everfree Forest, Zenobia the Spotted hyena and Clayton the Atlas bear both came out of nowhere and then they both jumped and blocked the four friends' path, and then Zenobia said in an evil tone "Going somewhere?", and then Clayton added in a similar, quite mocking tone "You lost, little kids?", and when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all saw their two newest enemies once again, Chloe cried "Please, leave us alone!", and then Aylene added in the same tone as Chloe's "And leave us alone!", and then Stephan yelled "Go away, you two no good big bad bullies!", but then Zenobia yelled at them all "Silence!", and then Clayton added evilly "We're both going to teach you three stupid kids to respect and worship us!", and then Zenobia said evilly "You three must learn how to respect your elders!", but then Stephan said "We respect good elders, but we'll never, ever respect bad elders who don't even know how to behave themselves when they come across new children and teenagers!".

However, Zenobia yelled evilly "If you won't shut up, filthy centaur, we promise that you three will be chained up chain together, and then we'll send you all to serve life sentences in Tartarus!", and then Clayton added as he stood smugly next to Zenobia "Face it, you three - you're not going back to your homes until you all learn to worship the both of us!". However, before the two mammalian carnivores can start attacking Chloe, Aylene and Stephan once again, Tah the Rhinotauress suddenly stepped forward, came in the way and she put herself between the three friends and the two enemies, and then she asked "What is going on?", but then Zenobia asked "Huh? And who are you?", and then Clayton added "You look fat and more tastier than these three stupid kids behind your back!", but when Tah heard the Atlas bear's unflattering insult, she then asked with anger rising in her eyes "Who are you calling 'fat'? Me?", but then Clayton said "No, your Grandpa! Yes, you!", and then he and Zenobia laughed together at the Rhinotauress.

However, then, Tah said, explained and asked "First of all, I'm pregnant, okay?! Second, who are you two and what do you want from my new friends?!", but then Clayton said in a mocking tone "'Your' friends? These three teenagers were all nothing but messing up scumbags!", but then the Rhinotauress said sternly to the two carnivorans "Don't you two dare talk to Chloe, Aylene and Stephan like that, you mean, heartless bullies!", and then she added "They're not scumbags at all! But YOU TWO are!", but then Zenobia asked "Excuse us?", and then Clayton added "Listen to us, you pregnant beast! Get out of our way or you and your unborn child will both get hurt!", but then Tah said back firmly "Even so, I'm not letting you two do what you want to do!", and then she added "Who do you two even think you are that you both have the rights to pick on teenagers?! I will not let you two do any harm to my new friends!", and when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all heard what Tah just said to Zenobia and Clayton, the three friends smiled up at her when they saw her daring and willing to stand up to the two animal bullies, just to save them all from their wrath, even if she's pregnant.

Then, Zenobia makes the first move when she started to run and then she charged towards Tah, with Clayton following in tow, but even their teamwork and partnership is not strong enough to take her down, and she was yet more clever than the both of them together, and much like other centaur species, she has six limbs (two arms of a human and four legs of an animal (in her case - the four legs of a rhinoceros)), two hearts (one of a human and one of a rhinoceros, and one brain of a human inside her head. Just then, Tah moved out of the way, but then she grabbed Zenobia by the tail and then she picked up the female Spotted hyena and then she gave her an angry rhinoceros snort rit to the face, before she then punched Zenobia and threw her right at Clayton, when the male Atlas bear jumped up in an attempt to strike and maul at the Rhinotauress, thus sending both Zenobia and Clayton back down to the ground, and then she charged towards them in order to finish them off, but then Zenobia and Clayton both stood back up and then each used a forepaw to trip Tah and cause her to lose her balance and end up getting stuck in a tree with her rhinoceros horns.

Then, Zenobia and Clayton both turned around to face Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, and then they charged together towards the three friends, but then Stephan put himself in front of both Chloe and Aylene, turned tail and bucked the two animal bullies square in the faces and sent them back towards Tah, who reacted back by kicking the two mammalian carnivores in the butts with her hind rhinoceros legs, before she then broke free from the tree and then she turned around to face Zenobia and Clayton once again, and when they saw Tah is free and ready to attack them some more, they both turned to escape, but then she grabbed them both by the backs of their necks and then she lifted them up to look at them right in the eyes, before she then gave them both another angry rhinoceros snort.

Then, she said to them in a firm and angry tone "I give you two a fair warning - you mess with my friends, you mess up with me, you two no good lousy jerks!", and then she violently threw them back down to the ground, before she then turned tail and kicked them square in the faces with both of her hind rhinoceros legs, thus sending the two flying up in the air and hitting the same tree Tah got stuck in with their heads, thus sending them both falling down with the tree and hitting the ground, thus getting knocked unconscious and they're soon defeated.

With Zenobia and Clayton were both knocked out cold, Tah turned to face Chloe, Aylene and Stephan, who all trotted and ran up to her and then they higged her tightly once again and then Chloe cried "Thank you for saving us, Tah!", and then Aylene added "We truly appreciate what you did for us when you stood up to these Zenobia and Clayton!", and then Stephan finished and said "These Spotted hyena and Atlas wouldn't be leaving us alone if it weren't for you to stand up against them and give them a fair beating before sending them both to be knocked against a tree, and sending them and tree falling down and causing these two get knocked out cold and defeated!", and then Aylene cried "You're indeed a good friend we can truly trust, Tah!", and when Tah heard what they said, she gave up a warm and kind smile to the three teenage friends and said "Thank you all!".

Then, when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all broke their hug away from Tah, Chloe said "Thank you, Tah!", and then Aylene added "We owe you something good in return for saving our lives twice on the same day!", and then Stephan finished and said "We promise you that what gift we will give you will be great!", but then Tah said "You three better get out of this forest and get back to your homes now! It's getting late, so you three must go!", and when the three heard what she said, they all said back to the Rhinosauress in unison "Goodbye, Tah! Thank you for everything you've done for us so far by now!", and then she said back to the three friends "Goodbye, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan! I promise you I will come at any given opportunity to meet you all again!", and then Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all called and waved for her for a final goodbye before they finally left the Everfree Forest, while Tah called and waved for them back for a goodbye as well before she turned around and started to slowly walk away and back into the Everfree Forest.

Later, when Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all finally reached and arrived back at their respective homes, they're greeted and welcomed back by Celestia, Luna, Andy and Zoey, respectively, and when evening came, the three ate dinners at their respective homes, before they all finally went to their respective bedrooms to sleep when nighttime came and Luna's moon was now rising up and glowing in the night skies alongside the stars, and while they're all sleeping in their respective beds, Chloe, Aylene and Stephan all hoped that one day, they will all meet again their newest best friend who saved their lives twice on the same day - Tah, the good, friendly and kind Rhinotauress.
