"We gotta warn Rarity, my parents won't listen!"

"Rarity's not my Mum!"

"She's your legal guardian, what's the difference?"

"Well, she's off on a thing for treasure anyway. Don't know where she'll be."

The three fillies (Sweetie Belle the unicorn, Diamond Tiara and her diamond tiara, and Silver Spoon the imposter) are arguing outside the treehouse. They don't seem to be having the best of times. Then again, they just found out that Fluttershy is actually Fluttertree, except trees can't fly so that's actually a very bad name.

"What about Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, your lame friends," asks Silver Spoon, somehow managing to sound extremely nervous and work in a sneer at the same time.

"Oh, they're too busy trying to get their cutie marks," groaned Sweetie Belle.

"Did somepony say cutie marks?" asked AppleBloom from around a tree.

The fillies engage in another bout of arguing which results in the answer 'no Applejack is out', and a promise that there were no cutie marks lying about.

"How are we meant to find a responsible adult if all of your adults are taken?" wails Silver Spoon.

"What about the most epic, awesome, amazing, awe-inspiring, impressive, heroic, incredible, remarkable- etcetera, etcetera," mumbles the newly arrived orange pegasus on her scooter, seeing everyone else's annoyed looks. This is Scootaloo, if you still can't remember at this point.

"Do you even have parents?" snaps Silver Spoon.

This results in yet another bout of arguing, which ends with...

Wait, they're still going...

Stiiiill going...

"ENOUGH!" yells Sweetie Belle, "Scootaloo, who is it?"

"Rainbow Dash, obviously. We just have to follow her up the mountain, where she's helping Rarity with something. It's a competition against-"

"Trixie?" the rest guess. Scootaloo nods.

"I think Spike's going too, but I'm not sure. What are you gonna ask her? How to be awesome?"

The first three stare at each other for a few seconds before Sweetie Belle says something we obviously already know about, but probably still can't fully comprehend.

I definitely can't comprehend it.

"Fluttershy's a tree."
