The next day, the princesses who passed the first test went into the throne room to meet the queen, only to see a light yellow mare with a dark blue and pink mane with wrapped sweets for a cutie mark talking with her, Queen Love Tap turned to them 

Queen Love Tap: Oh, ladies, I'm sorry, I had to meet with this young mare, she had just told me that her roof fell and that she needs help replacing it, so I'm sorry, but there will be no test today, I hope you understand how urgent this is 

Most of the princesses nodded and gave sympathy to the pony, including the trio and their friends, the others looked annoyed or bothered 

Queen Love Tap: I shall see you tonight at dinner, you may go 

The latter went out and once they were 

Scootaloo: How lucky is that, no test 

They heard giggling and turned to see the terrible two as Dinky had called them 

Diamond Tiara smirked: Oh please, don't tell me you were that dense 

Apple Bloom scowled: What are you getting at 

Silver Spoon: That was the test 

the friends: Huh 

Diamond Tiara: It was so obvious, she set us up to see who would be sympathetic enough to the pony who had her roof fall in, of course, that was all a lie 

Sweetie Belle: You don't know that, it could have been real 

Diamond Tiara scoffed: Whatever, we don't expect adopted princesses to have the same level of education to us real princesses 

Then she and her cousin did their signature bumps 

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: Bump bump, sugar lump rump 

They left, giggling mean-spiritedly as they went away, as they scowled back at them, Twist spoke 

Twist: I really do not like them 

They stared at her in surprise, never had they heard the princess use such a negative comment  

Sweetie Belle: But do you think they were right, that was the test 

Sweetie looked back to the throne room 

Babs Seed: You can't trust anything they say 

Scootaloo: She's right 

Apple Bloom: So what do we do now 

Twist: Oh, we could go to the kitchens 

Dinky: The kitchens 

Twist: Trust me 

Twist led them, moments later, they were in the gleaming and busy kitchen, Twist went up to a grey colt 

Twist: Girls, this is Truffle 

the friends: Hi 

Truffle: Hello 

Truffle shyly backed away 

Twist: He doesn't say much, but he's fun to be around  

Truffle blushed: Aw 

Twist: So a couple of nights ago, I made a special treat for him that I want to make for all of you, too 

Truffle: It's really good, she makes the best peppermint shakes there are 

Apple Bloom: Peppermint shakes 

Twist: It's my special talent, I discovered it one day when I went down in the kitchens of my own castle, I started stirring two peppermint sticks and made peppermint shakes, everybody tried it and really liked it
