Ponyboy awakens from a tired slumber on the floor of the Windrixville church. It's afternoon, he's alone, and he has no idea where he is. He tries to convince himself that everything... the battle, the freight train, the cathedral... is a dream, but he can't. Somehow, he knows it's not. He sees a book lying next to him. It's opened at a page with a picture of a unicorn on it. The unicorn is holding a sign that reads: "Wanted: Brave ponies ready for adventure." Under the unicorn is a list of places to which travelers are assigned when they arrive in town. There's also a note attached to the page that says: "Follow the map 'til you find a green star. That's your first job. Now, for your second job..." Ponyboy gets up and follows the map. When he reaches the end of it, he finds a green star. He takes this to be his ticket out of town, so he starts walking toward the exit point on the map. But after a few minutes, he realizes he still doesn't know what kind of place this is or who might be able to help him out. So he decides to look around first. He walks into a room and finds another map. This one shows all of Equestria, so he thinks maybe there are some safe houses somewhere in the country.
