## Plot

### Beginning

Starry and Night come out of the garden and run into a new person. The new person introduces herself as Summer Breeze, as the two introduce themselves. Starry asks if she is a worker, which Summer explains that she lives at the castle with her aunt and mother; Celestia and Luna. Starry is shocked by this and apologizes for calling her a 'worker', then starts panicking. Night asks Summer if she stays in the castle like Starry. Summer tells Starry that she prefers being like other ponies rather then being treated like a princess, then tells Night that she does stay in the castle. Starry apologizes again, feeling embarrassed and says that she sucks. Summer tells her that she doesn't suck as Starry sighs in relief, and thanks her. Starry then suggests finding Bolt, then claims that she doesn't have a crush on him. Bolt then appears behind Starry, who jumps. Night and Summer greet him as Bolt asks who she is. Night introduces them, as Bolt says she looked familiar. Summer explains that she's Celestia's daughter as Bolt agrees, stating that maybe thats why she was familiar. Starry asks if Bolt heard her as Summer giggles. Bolt says he didn't hear anything and asked if he should of. Starry blushes and panicks, telling him that it was nothing. Bolt asked how everyone was, as Night and Summer say they're fine, as Starry says she was fine also, then started to ramble about him being cute as she stopped herself and made an excuse to run off embarrassed. Summer giggles as Night mentions that running off is a Starry thing at this point. Bolt agrees then says that he swears he's seen Summer. Summer agrees, as Bolt asks what her name was again. Summer tells him her name as Bolt says that maybe it's her name. Summer agrees and says its nice to meet him. Summer adds that it's lonely in the castle as Night and Bolt agree. Night asks what they could do now as Bolt says he didn't know. Summer suggests going to the donut shop and getting Starry as Bolt agrees. They check the garden and don't see Starry there as Night suggests checking her room. Summer knocks as Starry opens the door and greets them. Summer asks if she wants to go to the donut shop with them as Starry takes a moment to count her money and then agrees to go.

### The Donut Shop

They go to the donut shop together as they order donuts. Starry says that she hasn't had a donut in a while as Summer and Bolt eat theirs. Starry eats hers as Summer says that they make it good at the donut shop as Bolt agrees. Something spots Starry's eye as she walks out of the store. Night questions her as Starry looks at some flowers nearby and starts mumbling about them. Summer finishes her donut as Night remembers what happened with the hayburgers and fries. Bolt says how he liked it as Summer mentions that her favorite is chocolate donuts as Bolt remembers something about Summer. Bolt asks if Summer remembers him as she says he looks familiar, like an old friend.

### The Donut Shop: Bolt and Summer

Bolt lists some people as Summer remembers him. Summer says that she missed him as Bolt says he missed her. Summer then explains that her mother sent her to a princess school to learn to be a princess as Bolt apologizes. Bolt says that he can relate when he found out he was royalty as Summer is surprised. Bolt confirms that it's true. Summer says that it's strange to find that out due to Bolt living in a smaller city. Bolt explains that he's from an island that is outside of Equestria in the sky, then says that he's a normal pegasus with lightning powers. Summer says that she's surprised he's royalty. Bolt and Summer relate on wanting to be normal ponies rather then being treated like royalty. Summer explains that their friend, Xeno, completely vanished, so days are lonely and sneaking out is harder. Bolt says that he saw Xeno a while ago as Summer is glad that they're okay, then explains that leaving Canterlot is hard because there's guards everywhere. The two leave the donut shop.

### The Donut Shop: Night and Starry

Night goes outside and asks Starry if she found something new, as Starry keeps mumbling about the plants. Night asked Starry something, who snapped out of her mumbling and greeted him. Night says that she probably didn't hear him as Starry apologizes. Starry says that she wasn't sure to get the flowers as Night says they look interesting as Starry agrees, then starts mumbling again. Night snaps her out of mumbling again as Starry says she wasn't sure. Starry says that there's pro and cons of the flowers as Night asks what they are. Starry explains that the flowers have a different care then other plants and that they're pretty unique. Night asks if its the same for each plant as Starry explains that it's similar, but each plant is different. Night points out a purple flower and says it's pretty as Starry agrees. Night suggests putting the flower in Starry's garden as she agrees, then explains that with moving plants, you need to be careful. Night asks if they should move the plant to the garden as Starry nods.

### Canterlot City: Summer and Bolt

Summer takes Bolt back to the castle. Summer says that she wants to leave normally, saying that she may have to do what Xeno did; ditching the castle. Bolt says that if she's up to it, she can, but if it was him, he'd think about it more. Summer explains that she's sick of being stuck inside. She then says that she wouldn't have a home, but she'd have actual friends besides herself and gala nights if she left. She then explains that she wouldn't know what to do either, that she hardly sees anyone besides Starry, as far as she understands. She says that she hasn't been to Ponyville in a while as she says that maybe it's a dumb idea. Bolt says that he won't stop her if she wants to do it. Summer says that is a dumb idea as Bolt suggests telling her mother. Summer explains that she tried reasoning with her but she said she had to study to be a princess. Bolt says that she can't force her to be something. Summer says that she doesn't want to live like that anymore.

### Canterlot City: Starry and Night

Starry grabs out her tools, saying that a gardener is always prepared. Night praises her as Starry gets to work. Starry then says that she has it as Night and Starry quickly fly back to the castle as Starry digs a hole and plants the flower before it dies. Night mentions that it's growing as Starry nods, both watching the plant grow. Night suggestions checking on Bolt and Summer as Starry agrees.
