The Spring Fling dance has rolled around yet again at Canterlot High and, despite not having dates for the event, the Crusaders (Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo) decide to attend anyway just for fun. The three girls spend most of the night either talking near the refreshment stand or showing off their moves on the dance floor, with Scootaloo wowing her friends with her exceptional dancing skills. However, just when the girls are beginning to enjoy themselves, somebody accidentally upsets the punch bowl, which ends up spilling on Sweetie Belle’s dress. The lavender-haired girl hurries off to the restroom to clean herself up and Scootaloo goes with her to help. Apple Bloom offers to go as well, but Sweetie insists that it’s okay and that at least one Crusader should be enjoying herself. With that said, Apple Bloom is left on her own for a while. The young farmer doesn’t mind, however, as it gives her the chance to just stand off to the side and observe her peers as they party the night away. However, after a minute of watching people, Apple Bloom is suddenly approached by a boy she recognizes as one of Applejack’s classmates. After the two exchange pleasantries, the boy tells Apple Bloom that she looks very lovely in her dress, a comment that the young red-head is very grateful for. The boy also says that he has something that will make her look even better and presents Apple Bloom with a necklace with a purple, star-shaped jewel pendant. Now, Apple Bloom wouldn’t normally accept gifts from someone she’s only just met, but in this case, she was so captivated by the necklace’s beauty that she didn’t consider this at all. She simply thanked the boy for his gift before taking the necklace and placing it around her neck. What she didn’t know, however, is that the necklace was purposefully enchanted with Equestrian magic from the statue/portal that causes whoever wears it into becoming the obedient servant of the person who gave it to them…

Upon placing the necklace around her neck (commenting that it is a bit tight), Apple Bloom is quick to fall under its hypnotic spell, her eyes turning the same shade of purple as the pendant as her free will and individuality is completely erased. Now blissfully submissive, Apple Bloom looks up at the boy (whom she identifies as her ‘master’) with a pleasant smile and confirms her new status as his obedient servant girl. Wanting to test her commitment, the boy asks the hypnotized farm girl to remove her boots and toss them into a nearby trashcan. Apple Bloom obeys the command, pulls off her boots (leaving her barefoot), and places them in the trashcan. The boy then asks her to do a pirouette. Again, Apple Bloom happily obeys and twirls like a ballerina. Once she stops, the boy (now convinced his new servant will do absolutely anything) instructs Apple Bloom to get in his car in the parking lot so that they can head to her house to collect her things for transport to his apartment (where he lives on his own), where she will live from now on. Apple Bloom agrees to these terms and begins following her master out the door and down the hall, the brainwashed red-head still in her bare feet. The boy is very pleased that his plan worked and thinks to himself that he is going to enjoy having Apple Bloom under his control….

Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo have returned from the restroom and are confused to find that Apple Bloom is gone. The two begin searching around the gym for their friend, wondering where she is and why she left….
