On the third train, she stood alone. In fact, that train wasn’t even scheduled to depart today. The princess had to send a communiqué the day before to the mare in charge of the station to let her know of her intent to board a train toward Outer Grove. Strings had to be pulled to make the staff deviate from their timetable, of which she was a bit ashamed. Of course, they did not mind making this work – she was a princess after all. They were always so happy to oblige. Twilight didn’t like to be on the receiving end of special treatments like these, though in her defense, there was an urgent friendship problem lingering about. This had to be tackled as soon as possible before it could potentially devolve into an unsolvable mess.
