### *Arrival in Maris*

Chapter/Episode 1 begins with Time Turner and Fluttershy arriving in Maris and find themselves gazing at the cathedral known as Notre Mane, Time Turner turns to his daughter and tells her "Maris, Fluttershy. We're in Maris" before he pulls her away from the building.

### *Applying for a job in the Opera House*

Soon after entering they would be approached by a stage hoof and lead them towards the door where Fleur De Lis would be rehearsing, while Time Turner is speaking with the co-managers (Flim and Flam) Fluttershy would be shortly harassed by a drunk Cranky Doodle Donkey. When he goes to reach for her again, Cranky misses her and rams into a prop which causes him to lose his balance and grab onto a piece of scenery as he fell, the scenery would almost knock over the dancers rehearsing including Fleur De Lis. In retaliation, Fleur begins screaming and after she notices Fluttershy begins to direct her anger out at her and later at Time Turner after she learns of their relation, she would continue to scream at both her managers and the duo until a loud groan was heard. It's revealed to be Cranky rising to his feet while belching and burping, both the managers and Fancy Pants who angrily slaps him and demands he apologizes to Fleur and leave the opera house. Agreeing with Fancy Pants, Flim and Flam fires Cranky and Time Turner quickly intervenes and attempts to ease the situation by informing Fleur of Fluttershy's innocence, before she leaves the stage Fleur gives one final glare and walks off with Fancy Pants trailing behind her.
