So wait, Layla, you're telling me the moon is gonna change colors?

Not actually.

It's just going to look like it because of the glow from the fairies.

The fate fairies are at their most magical under the Fairy Moon.

There are even rare types of them that only appear tonight.

So when the sun sets,

all those glowing fairies are gonna light up the sky!

Wow. When Ms. Primrose said Fairy Moon,

I thought it was just an expression, like, "Once in a blue moon."

Actually, Ava, blue moons are real too.

What?

Isabel, you know it's a holiday, right? You can take the day off.

Hi, have we met?

Evil doesn't take days off, and neither do I.

You've gotta be strong if you wanna be an ace unicorn rider.

Ah, well, if you're so strong,

how come I'm gonna beat you to the stables?

What? No way! Get back here, Sophia!

Morning, River.

Hey, Valentina.

Busy.

How much are we loving having a day with no classes?

It's not a day off, Rory.

The Fairy Moon is a big deal.

Today's about honoring the fate fairies' magic.

Ooh, good. I'd do anything to thank them for matching me with Leaf.

Me too.

They led me and my dad to Wildstar.

And I'm grateful to the fairies for getting us the day off school.

Yeah, yeah, the fairies are great,

but I think we all know what today is really about.

The Flower Foraging.

And we're gonna win it, aren't we, boy?

It's not actually a competition.

Not with that attitude.

This girl gets it, right?

Val? Valentina?

Hey, Sparky!

Ugh, what?

Ready to lose?

Lose what? We're just picking flowers.

Aw, come on, dude!

What happened to my old nemesis?

I know you like to win. Pew, pew, pew, pow, pow!

I am focused on things that actually matter.

Honoring the fate fairies?

What? No.

I'm obviously talking about the Fairy Moon masquerade ball tonight.

Cinder and I are so gonna be best dressed at the party.

There she is.

Please, Valentina.

No one's gonna be looking at you two

once Storm and I rock onto the scene with these moves.

Ooh! Hoo! Ta! Hey!

Storm, nice.

- Go, Rory! - All right!

Ooh, time for the foraging. Eat my unicorn dust!

Ha! Hi-yah!

Yeah, that's on-brand.

Welcome, unicorn riders, to the Flower Foraging.

- Yay! - Yeah!

- All right! - Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo! Yeah!

Today is about honoring the fate fairies,

who matched us with our beloved unicorns.

But to add to these festivities,

we'll need these.

Starburst flowers.

This rare flower only blooms under the Fairy Moon,

and you and your unicorns

will be collecting all the flowers you can find.

They make lovely decorations,

but when the moon rises,

the flowers will open for a real surprise.

Everyone ready?

Never readier.

- Come on, giddyap, giddyap! Let's go! - Whoa!

Yeah!

Aha! Spotted.

Whoa! Hey!

Ha! Me, one. Everyone else, zilch.

That's Isabel for ya.

Oh, hello.

Do you smell as good as you look?

Even better.

Heads up.

Check it.

The forecast calls for a storm.

Boom!

Huh?

Now who's bringing the thunder?

It can never just be simple flower picking with you, huh?

Well, I'd say I earned a nap.

Race you to it.

Uh-uh. I did not spend all morning combing your mane to get thorns in it.

Ah, you're no fun!

Gotcha!

Ha! Who's better than us, buddy?

No way I'm losing to them.

Jackpot!

Come on, dude. If we get all those, we'll win for sure.

Check it. We can take that path.

Don't be scared. We've got this.

Whoa, that does not look like a good idea.

Isabel, what are you doing?

- Winning! - It's not actually a contest.

Says you. I'm gonna honor the fate fairies

by reminding them why they picked me to be a unicorn rider.

Come on, buddy. Don't chicken out now.

River, quit it.

Just hold still and let me handle this.

Uh, Isabel, please be careful!

Seriously, let it go!

Sorry, Mendoza, that's not my style.

Just chill, River.

I'm not a quitter. That's why I'm here. I can do this.

Oh, I can't look.

I almost have it!

Look out!

There you go.

Would you stop looking at me like that?

I'm fine. Ugh. Ow.

Fine like a bull in a bounce house.

'Fraid there won't be any riding for you for a while.

But, uh, I'm a unicorn rider. Th... that's what I do.

Not until you heal up.

Dude, I didn't even know you could get hurt. What happened?

It was an accident.

But you're one of the best riders here. And you were picking flowers.

I mean, this is like a pro-baller breaking their leg on a layup.

That's because it wasn't my fault!

I told you I had it. If you'd just listened to me and not freaked out,

this wouldn't have happened.

Now I have to sit around falling behind while the rest of you lap me.

Isabel, I know you're upset, but it was an accident.

Why don't we just try and have some fun?

Yeah. Fun would be fun.

I mean, it's a beautiful day, and there's fairies everywhere,

and we still have a masquerade ball to get ready for.

- I'm not in the mood for a party. - "Not in the mood for a party"?

I do not understand these words.

You can go if you want, River.

At least you can still walk.

Um, is it okay if I'm still excited about the ball?

Of course.

Today's about celebrating the fairies.

Speaking of, we better go get ready.

She didn't mean it, River. She'll be okay soon.

I'm sure she'll come any minute,

but do you wanna walk over to the party with us?

I understand.

I'm sure we'll see you there soon.

Hey!

Yeah!

- Yeah! - Whoo!

Oh, I am... I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm fine!

Thanks.

So, uh, not in the mood to dance either?

Oh, I just wanted to watch for a minute.

I get it. I'm Isabel.

Danny.

- I don't think I've seen you around. - Yeah, I hang in my dorm a lot.

Looks like fun, doesn't it?

- I guess. Which one's your unicorn? - I was just looking for him.

He's not the one with his head in the punch bowl, is he?

Oh, nope. Um, that's someone else's problem.

So, where's your unicorn?

Not here. I needed some space.

From your unicorn? I didn't think that was a thing.

Yeah, well, uh, I guess I'm special.

So you didn't bring him to the party? You just left him alone?

Hey, he's the one who let me down, okay?

He's fine, but me?

I'm supposed to be a unicorn rider. Now I can't even walk.

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

Of course it does.

I've been there.

You've got something that makes you special, and then it gets taken away.

You feel like you don't fit in anymore, right?

Like you don't have a place down there. Of course you're mad.

I just don't know who I am if I'm not a unicorn rider.

It's what we're meant to do.

Yeah! And I was born for this.

I mean, check these deltoids.

I'm strong, I'm fast. I'm not afraid of anything.

I've jumped over canyons and escaped crumbling temples,

lived with Valentina.

If that doesn't prepare you to fight evil, I don't know what does.

I mean, I fought Ravenzella and her shadow goons

my first week here.

Wow, you've been through a lot.

Yeah, and I've loved every second of it. And you know who was afraid? River.

Not that it stopped him from blasting the grim magic away

with his water powers.

Man, he really had my back that night.

At the temple too.

River, huh? He sounds like an amazing unicorn.

Yeah, he is.

Maybe I was too hard on him.

A little space won't hurt anyone. He'll be there when you're ready.

Guess you don't need a unicorn now anyway, right?

Yeah, guess not.

Let's go. Downstairs, you two.

I'm only chaperoning one floor.

Were you in my class?

All these masks, right? Uh, excuse me.

I'll see you down at the dance.

Coming, Ms. Armstrong?

Hey, fella.

What are you doing in here?

Don't you have a rider to go to the ball with?

I'm sorry.

I'm alone too.

Is this all right?

Hey, would you wanna go for a walk or something?

Keep each other company for a bit?

Ever been to Fate Fairy Island?

It's supposed to be beautiful this time of year.

We'd have an amazing view of the Fairy Moon from there.

What do you say?

These looks are stunning.

For real. You two are so mega-glam.

If you're into that kinda thing.

Which we totally are.

Oh wow. This dress is amazing.

But not more amazing than mine, right?

Hey? Hey!

Care to dance?

Uh, no.

Oh, it's cool. You just gotta adjust your moves.

Check it out.

Crutch dance, baby.

Okay, thanks, but I'll pass.

Oh, I think these fairy puffs were made with lemon drop mushrooms.

They're an island delicacy.

So did River come with you?

Not as fun without him here, is it?

No, I just think he would've liked the snacks.

Well, he didn't wanna come without you. But you could still go invite him.

Nice of you to show up.

Totally get it.

You couldn't resist seeing me in my element, could you?

Isabel! Your hair.

Sorry I didn't have time for a goofy updo or something.

I wasn't planning on coming.

Seriously? What?

Your streak. It's fading.

- What? How could it... - Here.

- Isabel, your bond. - I... I have to see River.

Don't let the teachers catch you like this.

If they realize something's wrong with your unicorn's bond...

Well, let's just not let them find out.

Hey, I'm a Sapphire too.

I can't have you making our dorm look bad.

Come on, Cinder. We've got a distraction to create.

Uh-huh, finally, a worthy opponent.

River!

Where is he?

Hey, hey, hey.

It's okay, boy.

I've got you.

Isabel!

Are you okay? What's wrong?

River. I don't feel him. He's... he's gone.

Hey, hey, are you okay?

Your markings are gone.

Did something happen to your bond?

I'm sorry.

But if your rider didn't want you anymore,

that's her loss.

You're amazing.

Come on. You could use a distraction.

What do you mean River's gone?

Their bond broke.

It happened to Wildstar when my dad disappeared.

Oh.

But I didn't disappear. I'm right here.

We just had a little fight. It didn't mean anything.

Did River really think I was abandoning him?

Can you blame him?

You were pretty mad.

S-So... So what? He just ran away?

And I can't even run after him!

Wildstar?

What'd you find?

That's Danny's mask.

But what was he doing here?

Um, who's Danny?

Uh, a boy back at the ball.

We were talking about River.

River. No! He must have taken River.

- What? Why would he do that? - I... I don't know.

Where would they have gone?

I don't know!

Come on. We'll find him.

I'll stay here. I don't wanna slow you down.

You're not coming?

This seems like a mission for unicorn riders.

Oh, that's it! We've all been very sympathetic to your bad mood today,

but now you're being ridiculous!

Yeah, I said it. Ridiculous! I never thought you would be a quitter.

I'm benched, remember?

There's nothing I can do.

Well, not with that attitude.

River needs you. You're his rider.

Not anymore.

Then get out there and earn him back.

I knew I recognized him.

You won't be able to hold on with that leg.

That's okay. She can hold on to me.

Uh, so I just sit here?

I hate this.

Guys! Over here!

Danny, what are you doing?

Not that way. That way!

There are thorns that way.

So jump over them.

I really don't think high-impact activities are good for your ankle.

Then at least go faster.

Remember, she's having a tough day.

Hey, you're the one who yelled at me to come.

Don't worry, Isabel. We're on an island, remember?

How far could they go?

Are you thinking about your rider?

Why? She wasn't thinking about you.

Sorry.

I know this must hurt,

but try and take your mind off of it.

Look. There's Fate Fairy Island.

Come on. Let's check it out.

Cool, huh?

It's a tidal bridge,

but we can only cross while the tide's out, so let's go.

The water's coming in. We just made it.

It's even more beautiful than I dreamed.

Sh. Look.

Underwood fairies.

They live underground and only come out during the Fairy Moon.

Can you believe we're really seeing them?

You know, underwood fairies are special.

It's said they have the power to change your destiny.

Your rider didn't appreciate you, River.

Don't you think you deserve to bond with someone who will?

It's okay, boy.

The underwood fairies can give us both a second chance.

They must be on that island.

Did River swim there?

Can River breathe underwater?

When Wildstar lost my dad, she lost her powers too.

I don't think River would have his magic either.

Uh, then how'd they get all the way over there?

There's a tidal bridge here.

When the tide is low, anyway.

It connects to Fate Fairy Island. That's where the fairies are from.

Why would Danny take River there?

Because of the Fairy Moon?

Or because of the underwood fairies.

The rare type of fairy I was telling you about earlier.

They have special powers.

The fate fairies matched us with the unicorns we were meant to have.

But the underwood fairies,

they can change your destiny.

Change your destiny? What does that mean?

It means we have to hurry.

The tide's already coming in. The bridge is gone.

Then we'll make our own. Come on, girl. Light it up!

Let's go bring River home.

Agh!

There he is. River!

What are you doing? Stop it!

Leave him alone!

No! Stop!

Did they just...

How? How is this possible?

That magic doesn't look right.

Danny used the underwood fairy's magic to change his destiny.

You mean he cheated to force a bond.

River! We did it!

We really did it!

Agh, get away from my unicorn!

Isabel, I'm sorry, but River is mine now.

It's my destiny to be a rider.

I won't miss out again!

River, please! It's me!

Stay back!

I don't wanna hurt any of you. I only came here to get what's mine.

But River's not yours.

Why not?

I've as much right to him as any of you do.

I was invited to Unicorn Academy just like you.

They told me they saw something in me.

That I was chosen.

I was gonna protect the world from evil.

I finally knew what I was meant to do with my life.

I swore I was going to be the best unicorn rider they'd ever seen.

I read the Sparklebook front to back my first night.

But the fate fairies failed me.

I never matched with a unicorn.

I was meant to be a unicorn rider,

but instead,

I was sent home with nothing.

That's awful.

I know, but it is!

It's okay. I've taken my destiny into my own hands.

Now that I have River, I can show them all what I'm capable of.

You can't force a unicorn to bond with you. Especially mine.

What would you know?

How strong could your bond have been if it broke?

I know enough to see that this fake bond is messed up.

Give it up.

You had your chance and you lost it.

I won't make the same mistake.

No!

Are you okay?

We can't let him get away.

Ha!

No, no, no!

Whoa!

I can't lose you now. We've gotta jump.

You've got water powers, don't you? You can swim, or make the waves catch us?

Just go.

No!

Leaf!

River!

No! Leave River alone. He's mine.

What have you done?

I gave him a rider.

Danny, if anyone understands learning from the Sparklebook, it's me.

But no amount of reading could have prepared me

for how it really felt to bond with Glacier.

The connection is special.

It's like love.

This...

Whatever the underwood fairies did to you and River, it's wrong.

I just wanted to change my destiny.

I'm sorry for what happened to you.

Being told you can't be a unicorn rider,

that would break my heart too.

Um, I love talking about feelings, and I don't wanna interrupt,

but there's something you should see.

That's not good.

Did we do that?

If that wave hits the island, it'll destroy it.

And it would also destroy us.

River?

River, it's me.

Time to go.

Uh, wait, we can't just leave.

Uh, kinda our only option here, Layla.

But this is where fate fairies come from,

and without fate fairies,

no one will match with a unicorn ever again.

I never meant for this to happen. I just wanted to help protect magic.

Great job.

River, you can stop this, right?

Use your magic!

River?

Please!

I don't know what to do. I... I'm scared.

You don't get to be scared when your unicorn needs you.

I'm here, River. This isn't your fault. None of this is your fault!

I'm sorry I pushed you away. I was just so scared when I got hurt.

I'm an athlete.

I'm a unicorn rider, but suddenly I wasn't,

and I didn't know who I was.

But I was wrong.

It wasn't my strength that made me a unicorn rider.

It was you.

Where are Isabel and River?

Whoa. Whoa!

- Whoa! - Yes!

- Wow! - Woo-hoo!

- Yeah! - Yes!

Thanks.

The tides seem unusual tonight.

Ms. Primrose?

Once I realized who this young man was,

I warned Ms. Primrose that we had a trespasser on the island.

I'm sorry.

The fate fairies were right.

I wasn't meant to be a unicorn rider.

No, you were not.

But that doesn't mean that the world doesn't need your help.

You can still do great things.

I will.

I promise.

Let's go.

The fairy boat is ready to take you home.

Take care of each other.

Hey, River, if you're up for it, wanna go to the dance with me?

Whoo, party time!

Yeah!

'Sup?

Hey.

Well, looks like you two drama queens worked things out.

Guess I was right, as always.

How were you...

You know what? Never mind.

Where have you guys been?

You won't believe the night we've had.

Cinder and I set the dance floor on fire, literally.

We were surrounded by admirers all night. Natch.

Uh, yeah, until Storm and I invented a whole new dance craze.

Ooh, check that weather wiggle.

- Yeah! - Yeah. The crowd went wild.

You're just trying to steal my thunder.

Sorry, Val, but you know Storm.

Thunder is kind of her thing.

Come on, then. Why don't you show us what you've got?

It's even more amazing than I thought.

So pretty! Whoo!

So it's time.

Don't worry.

We'll do whatever it takes to stop it from happening again.
