As Apple Bloom leaves, Applejack wonders aloud where she is going and jumps into her tail. But Apple Bloom, the only one that was not afflicted, believes she alone is to blame for the ponies' ailments and ventures ahead to find Zecora. The ponies, with the exception of Twilight, conclude that Zecora has "cursed" or "hexed" them, and they resolve to confront her in the forest in hopes of finding a cure. The "cursed" ponies arguing over what to do next. Now start looking for more books so I can find a cure!" - Twilight Sparkle Spike, however, can't immediately think of a proper name to make fun of Twilight's wobbly horn. Spike laughs himself silly at the ponies and, in making good-natured fun of their misfortune, makes up nicknames for each pony: Fluttershy is afflicted with a deep-sounding male voice. Applejack has drastically shrunken in size and has to ride on Apple Bloom just to get to the library. Rarity's mane and tail are messy and her coat has grown so long that she cannot see or walk properly. Rainbow Dash's wings have been inverted and moved from her back to her lower sides, preventing her from flying properly and causing her to crash constantly. Pinkie Pie's now blue-spotted tongue is swollen to the point of hanging out of her mouth, and she can't speak intelligibly or without spitting. Her friends arrive at the library, each with an ailment of their own. Spike finds a book called Supernaturals that she may have overlooked, but she insists that there's no need to even open it because it details superstitions or other useless information. She frantically searches for a book containing a way to fix her problem, or at least provide information on it, but she cannot find anything useful. As she brushes her hair, she is shocked to find her horn turned soft, wobbly, and covered in blue spots. The next morning, Twilight wakes up after recalling everything her friends said about the strange zebra. As the ponies leave the forest, they all trot through the "blue flowers" except for Apple Bloom, who is carried out on Applejack's back.ĭuring the night, Twilight dreams about Zecora and her friends' warnings of her evil. However, Applejack warns her that some "pony tales" are indeed true. Twilight classifies the "curses" as harmless and fictional "pony tales". On their way back, Twilight tries to explain to her friends the difference between magic and Zecora's "curses" but to no avail. The zebra retreats to the forest, giving them a brief warning: "Beware! Beware, you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke!" Applejack scoops Apple Bloom off the ground while the other ponies, save Twilight and Fluttershy, taunt the zebra and ignore her warning. They find Apple Bloom when she is just behind Zecora, who is surrounded by many blue flowers. "Beware! Beware, you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke!" ![]() Upon noticing Apple Bloom's absence, the other ponies decide to leave the house to search for her. She follows Zecora to the Everfree Forest. While the ponies are busy discussing Zecora's nature, Apple Bloom decides to approach Zecora herself and slips out of the bakery. Pinkie Pie shares a song with the others, profiling Zecora as an " Evil Enchantress".įollowing Zecora " I am sure there's an explanation for everything Zecora does, and if anypony here were actually brave enough to approach her, she would find out the truth." - Twilight Sparkle According to books Twilight has read, Zecora's species is from "a far away land". The gray and white in her strange mane are really her natural colors. ![]() After seeing her pull her hood down, Twilight concludes that Zecora is a zebra and not an "odd-looking pony". They also know that she lives in the Everfree Forest, a self-preserving environment which is almost alien to Ponyville. According to the other ponies, no one in Ponyville knows what Zecora's reasons for visiting the town are, except that she does so monthly. The only pony not scared is Applejack's younger sister Apple Bloom, also present. ![]() Inside, they find Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy, who nervously explain that they are hiding from a strange hooded creature named Zecora. While they speculate about where everyone could be, Pinkie Pie fervently calls to them from Sugarcube Corner, telling them to get inside before "she" gets them. Twilight Sparkle and Spike arrive in Ponyville's town square to find the town completely deserted. The friends hide from the mysterious zebra, Zecora. According to old notes by Amy Keating Rogers, Spike's nickname for Twilight Sparkle was originally "Droopi-horn".
