Legacies

Huh?

Sophia!

The star! Don't let them get away.

Minor problem. We have no idea which way they went.

Follow us!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There they are!

- - Whoa!

You got this, River.

Huh?

That was cute, but fire is our thing.

-Ha! -

- Huh? -Hyah!

Hey! Here's a travel tip for ya.

Always pack light!

-Huh? -

What is this?

Which one is the real one?

Brighter.

Brighter.

Yes!

- -

Whoa!

Psst. Rory, you sleeping?

Nope. Too excited about breakfast.

Ah, sweet waffley dreams.

- -

Sorry, but good morning!

-Did you find the crown star? -

No. Anyone else have any luck?

Lucky in that it's Waffle Day? Yes. Lucky in terms of stars? No.

Correction. One crown star down, two to go.

- -Yes!

Awesome.

So shiny.

Incredible.

-But there's someone else after the stars. -They attacked us and tried to take it.

If my dad hadn't used my necklace to warn me, I might not even be here.

- -This sounds dangerous.

Mr. Tansy told me it might be.

Oh, I do not like going against a teacher.

Really? We kind of do it all the time.

What they don't know won't hurt 'em, Layla. And we can't stop now.

But to bring my dad back,

we need to find all the fallen crown stars before this Star Snatcher does.

Snatcher!

Huh?

I saw a strange glow coming from in here.

Anyone care to explain?

Uh, um, Wildstar's just flexing the old magic muscles.

- -Her horn seems brighter than usual.

Uh, glow stick juice on the pillow. Classic sleepover prank.

Glad to see you're feeling better, Wildstar.

Ms. Rosemary told me you were under the weather.

You'd let me know if anything unusual was happening with her, wouldn't you?

O… of course, Ms. Primrose.

Good. Now Layla, Valentina, would you please come with me?

Me? Oh no.

Is this what getting in trouble feels like?

Congrats, newbie.

Yeah, we're gonna need to find a better hiding spot for that.

Today is a very special day, girls.

We have an esteemed unicorn rider visiting,

and I wanted you two to help me welcome her.

Why us?

Yeah, why her?

Layla, I know you have a deep respect for our island's history.

And, Valentina, who better to greet her than her own granddaughter?

Grandmama is coming here? Today?

Wait, I'm going to meet Mona Furi?

Yes.

Mrs. Furi tours the academy every now and then

to make sure our training is up to snuff.

So cross your t's, dot your i's, and shine those boots.

Hey!

I can't believe this. Your grandma is a unicorn-riding legend.

Do you even know how many chapters of the Sparklebook are about her?

Yeah. Duh. Those were basically my bedtime stories growing up.

And I can't wait for her to see how I'm carrying on her legacy.

Okay. Um…

Uh, uh, big… big… big… big fan.

Your, uh… Majesty?

Hmm.

- -Grandmama.

Valentina, it's been too long.

-Welcome back, Mother. -Yes. How was your voyage?

Long.

Well, then let's get you to your room.

I have so many questions for you!

Oh, I wouldn't expect much in the way of answers.

Mona ain't one for small talk.

Um…

Name's Samuel. Samuel Crawford.

Pleased to make your acquaintances.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I'm Layla.

Oh, come on, please.

Mr. Crawford's my dog. Call me Sam.

Um…

How do you know Mona Furi?

Oh, we go way back.

Went to this here academy together when we was just teens.

You wouldn't believe the stuff old mean-mug Mona got into.

She once wrestled a gremlin with one arm tied behind her back.

-She's so cool. -That was ages ago, of course.

I hung up my riding boots a few years back,

but I couldn't pass up a chance to visit the old stomping grounds.

I'd be happy to show you to your room. Where's your stuff?

Why, I got everything I need right here.

Those pockets fit books?

Books? This here's a riding academy,

not a reading academy, kiddo.

Remember, everyone, Mona Furi will be stopping by class today to judge me--

Uh, our lesson.

So we want our unicorns looking tip-top.

Done and done.

- -

Oh, she's gonna fire me.

What's so special about your grandma anyway?

Yeah, mine just knits cat sweaters and yells at the TV.

Mona Furi isn't your ordinary grandma,

unless your grandma's one of the most fearless unicorn riders alive.

She battled Grimoria's fiercest monsters, helped defeat Ravenzella,

and has a super rad eye patch.

Wow. Well said, stalker.

And now she'll get to see the Furi name is in good hands with moi.

So no funny business.

Remember, your idiocy reflects poorly on me.

No hijinks, no mediocrity,

and no star smuggling.

Don't worry, I moved it. And we'll all be on our best behavior today.

She's coming. Hide! I mean, get ready!

Well, well. Wildstar, is it?

Last time I saw you, it was out of this eye.

I seem to remember you running away from the fight.

How did that turn out?

I'd say pretty well, considering she saved Unicorn Island.

And you are?

Sophia. Sophia Mendoza.

Miles's daughter.

I didn't realize you'd come to the academy.

Matched with another Mendoza. There's a recipe for disaster.

Sure about that?

'Cause we've saved the island a few times too.

Oh snap!

You look familiar too.

I'm Layla. We met this morning.

Not you.

-Your unicorn. -

Glacier!

Glacier?

Oh, now there's a girl. Oh, how's my old unicorn doing?

Did you miss me?

Sam?

- -Oh, come on.

His unicorn? Wait, does that mean--

-Glacier used to be Sam's unicorn. -Come on!

I knew unicorns can have multiple riders. They live super long lives.

I just… I never thought Glacier's former rider would be so not like me.
