Glimmer is pacing around in her room.

"But shouldn't she be"

She glitches and grunts,

"back by now? She said she was gonna"

She glitches again.

"get training to"

"fix me! How long is that going to take--"

Glimmer runs into chair.

The chair squeaks across floor.

"OW!"

"And what kind of monster puts a chair here?!"

"Okay, we're worried, too, Glimmer, but taking it out on the furniture isn't going to help." Bow sat her down on the chair.

"We can't sit here and hope that she comes back eventually. We have to do something."

"Like what?" I raise a brow.

We hear knocking at the door.

I stand up and open the door.

A guard speaks,
"Princess? There's, uh, something here to see you."

"Don't you mean someone?" I ask.

"No. I mean something."

Swift Wind clops and whinnies down the hallway.

Bow shouts,
"Our horse!"

"I am my own horse. Call me..."

"Swift Wind!"

Glimmer and Bow scream.

Bow squeals,
"Our horse can talk!"

"Yeah, yeah, I can speak my mind now, pretty crazy--SO, I was thinking--"

"He's a talking hoOoOoOrse!"

"As we've established. Now--"

Glimmer grabs Bow's face.

"He has wings!"

"Okay, I'll give you a moment to freak out, and then we need to talk." Swift Wind says.

Glimmer and Bow both gasp for a moment.

Swift Wind blusters,
"--Great! I think Adora needs our help. Since Adora transformed me, I've been able to feel where she is at all times. It's like instinct. But now I feel a pull, as if I'm being summoned to her side."

Bow touches Swift Wind's wing and gasps ecstatically.

"As part of Adora's herd, I need your help. Will you come?"

"No shit, donkey. We're in."

Glimmer glitches, then hums resolutely.

"Of course. Lead the way."

"But, Glimmer, your glitching."

"Is what got us into this. Adora left to save me. Now it's time for us to save her. You in?"

"Always. But...I don't think your mom is going to like us leaving so soon after our last mission."

"She doesn't need to know. We'll sneak out and be back before my mom even realizes we're gone."

Glimmer opens the door to Angella standing there.

Glimmer glitches and shouts,
"Mom!"

Angella clears her throat.

"What are you doing here?" Glimmer tries to play it cool.

"Coming to see why my guard was escorting a horse into your room."
