"So, they seriously rehearse without a script?" Gabby gasped in disbelief. "How do they not mess up on show night?"

At the moment, Gabby was having a chat with Teatra, an expert on musical theater, as she helped Tech brush her coat and mane. She had a lot of questions about musical theater, like how some of the most well-known ones throughout history were made, like this rather unusual one they were talking about now called Cats.

"Professionals learn a thing called improv." Teatra said. "Cats is considered to be strange, seeing as the set is literal garbage, yet it is still one of the most watched musicals today. I'm more of a Dear Evan Hansen fan, however. Do you have any favorite musicals?"

"The Sound of Music." Gabby said. "And Wicked. Carousella loves that one too"

That was when Maybelle entered the room.

"Gabby, there ya are." Maybelle said.

"Hi, Maybelle." Gabby smiled.

"Are ya too busy to talk?"

"No, I'm almost done here. What's going on?"

"I need some advice... about Crosshair."

"He still hasn't bonded with you?" Teatra said in disbelief.

"Crosshair is not particularly known for being actively social," said Tech. "especially not with animals."

"Well, that's just the problem." Maybelle said. "I'm supposed to help him loosen up, but he ain't givin' me the time of day to even get to know him or vice-versa. I've tried everything. A gentler approach, playing him game of Run and Chase, even managed to hold him in a magic spell until somepony distracted me and Crosshair ran off when I wasn't lookin'. I get if uptight is just him, but it couldn't hurt if he would just gimme one chance to know what I'm really like."

"Hmm." Gabby thought. "That sounds tricky."

Gabby decided to have Maybelle sit down to talk, and she asked her lots of questions about who she was as an individual and why she was matched with Crosshair despite that they appeared to be complete opposites.

"You know, Maybelle. You are a musicorn. Maybe you can sing to him." Gabby said. "Show him how fun you can be. Music brings a lot of people together. It worked for Boba and Remix. And for Ahsoka and Fiesta too."

"Hmm. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before." Maybelle said. "Ya think if my brothers join in, it'll be even better?"

"Sure. Music is always better in a group. And knowing Pinto, it'd be a fun hoedown."

"Well... I'll see what my brothers think." Maybelle said, getting up.

"I'll go talk to Crosshair. Maybe he just needs to hear some things from someone who has more experience with horses."

So, Gabby went to look for Crosshair. He wasn't the easiest clone to approach, but Gabby believed everyone had a heart somewhere. She knew from experience that some simply needed help to unlock it. Her brother was one of them.

Gabby didn't know Crosshair that well, but she knew how much it meant to Maybelle that she and Crosshair could bond. It took time for Obi-Wan to bond with Peppermint, and now they were a great team.

"Crosshair, where are you?" Gabby said. "I need to talk to you about something important."

Gabby passed by Wrecker and Pinto as they were laughing after having a great time riding.
