- Great trick, Minimus.
- Can you do it
going down?
- Let's find out.
Whoo hoo!
Hold on, Sofia.
Sufferin' saddlebags!
- What was that?
- I don't know.
- It's Skye.
- That's Skye?
I missed you.
And I have missed
you, my princess.
Huh. That's a long hug.
Hi. You must
be Skye.
I've heard so much
about you.
( chuckles )
Skye, this is Minimus,
one of my best friends.
My apologies, sir,
for the near-collision.
Oh, that's okay.
Sofia told me that
you're new to flying.
Right, so, anyhoo.
( laughs )
I was, my good man.
Since I last saw her,
I've become quite accomplished.
Ah, here you are,
princess.
- Chrysta, hello.
- Good to see you.
What happened? I saw you
almost hit that flying donkey,
and then you were gone.
Flying donkey?!
Wait a minute.
So is it time for
more Protector training?
Today you get
your WhichWay bow.
- Wow!
- This little beauty
can get you out of
a lot of jams.
Tell it
where you wanna go,
and boom, a magical arrow
guides you there.
Watch. Which way
is the castle?
That's amazing.
It is one of the most important
tools of a Protector.
Go ahead, Sofia.
Give yours a try.
Flick your wrist,
and quickly bring
your hand into position.
Straight up
and snap it.
Wow.
But mine doesn't have
a bowstring.
Of course there's
no bowstring, princess.
You gotta get it
from the Mare of the Mist.
The who of the what?
The Mare of the Mist.
One thing
at a time.
First, we gotta get you
to the Isle of Unicorns.
Ahem!
Oh, right.
I forgot.
See, since you're
non-magical and wingless,
you're gonna need
a flying steed
for Protector assignments
like this.
And I have humbly
volunteered for
the job, my princess.
- Oh, that's
so sweet, Skye.
- Wait, what?
I have volunteered to be
Sofia's Protector steed.
Great. Now that we've got
that out of the way...
But Sofia already
has a steed.
Oh? Where?
Right here. Me.
Because I also
volunteer to...
to do the thing.
You want to be
a Protector steed?
Sure. Why not?
Wow. I am impressed.
I mean, it's not often
a Protector in training
gets two offers
like this.
So who's
it gonna be,
the unicorn
or the flying donkey?
Again with
the flying donkey?
So I have to pick
just one?
Uh-huh.
And I don't
mean to rush you,
but we really
gotta get moving.
Chrysta, could I talk
to you in private
for a moment?
Okay. Sure.
Excuse me, guys.
You want me to choose
between an old friend
- and a new one?
- Uh-huh.
But how am I
supposed to do that?
Pick the one
who'll help you the most.
Personally, I'd go
with the unicorn.
But, you know,
that's just me.
- Can't I take both?
- No.
Is that a rule?
Well, no, it's
more of a guideline.
Good, because I really
feel like I should take both.
- You can't do that.
- Why not?
Because even a princess
can't fly two horses
at the same time.
Yeah, but...
how can I tell
who will be
the better Protector steed
if I don't try
them both out first?
I guess that
makes sense.
I'm glad we're
in agreement.
Good news, guys.
We're all going.
BOTH: Great!
What?!
Think of it
as a try-out.
Whichever one of you
does better on this assignment
will get the job permanently.
I think it's pretty obvious
who that's gonna be.
Indeed it is,
but do not feel bad.
After all,
I am a unicorn.
I meant me.

Welcome to
the Isle of Unicorns.
This area here is called
the Veil of Mist.
Is this where
we find the mare?
It is, but
it's not gonna be easy.
She's skittish,
and she moves quick.
I can keep up;
I'm really fast.
Yes, but can you
see her in the mist?
Guys, please.
Okay, you gotta get
the Mare of the Mist
to give you a single
strand from her mane.
That's going to be
the bowstring
- for my WhichWay bow?
- Correct. Two things though.
Number one, she'll only
give you the bowstring
if you're true of heart.
There's no one
more true of heart
than Sofia.
On this, we agree.
But prithee, what does
true of heart mean exactly?
That you do
what you know is right,
no matter what
anyone else says.
Oh, yes, that is
definitely my princess.
Then there's
nothing to worry about,
except number two.
The mare only comes out
one day a year,
so you gotta do it
by sundown.
Sundown. Got it.
Okay then, I'll wait
for you right here.
- Off you go.
- Right.
Who should I ride?
I did come here
on Minimus.
And it was
pretty perfect, right?
Yes, but Skye hasn't had
a chance yet.
Listen, princess,
a Protector doesn't mess around
when they're in a hurry,
saying, "Maybe I'll do this,
maybe I'll do that."
No, a Protector decides
what to do, and does it.
Okay, I'll go with
Skye this time.
Sorry, Minimus.
You follow behind us?
Uh, sure.
Climb aboard,
my princess.
Good luck.
Was there something
you wanted?
Nope, just keeping
an eye out,
making sure
you're both okay.
Thank you.
We are fine, sir.
Look. Is that her?
SKYE: 'Tis she.
So beautiful.
Chrysta said
she's skittish, guys,
so let's be quiet.
You got it, Sofia.
And if you decide
to fly the rest of the way,
- I'm your guy.
- That's okay.
I'm going to walk
up to her slowly
so I don't
scare her off.
Besides, it's
still my turn.
- She just rode you.
- Only for a few minutes.
- ( whinnies )
- Guys, quiet! Remember?
She's right.
You stand thither,
I'll stand yon.
Thither and yon.
I got it, I got it,
I'm yon.
- No, you're thither.
- No I'm yon.
- Get your thither
outta my yon.
( both arguing loudly )
- We're fine.
- Yep, we're fine.
Your arguing
scared the mare off.
You're supposed
to be helping me.
Hey, how you doing?
Got your bowstring yet?
Um, not yet, Chrysta.
We found her, but
we may have scared her off.
Sorry about that.
- I blame myself.
And him.
- ( growls )
Okay, two things.
Number one, I told you
taking both of them
would be trouble.
And number two,
hurry up; you have
a job to do, princess!
So what should we do?
Well, first, the two of you
have to try to get along better.
BOTH: Agreed.
And we have to find
the mare again.
Is that her yonder,
in the sky?
MINIMUS: It's
just a cloud.
Methinks 'tis she.
Methinks it's a cloud.
Guys, she ran off
this way.
She left tracks.
Told you
it was a cloud.
She must've taken off
right here.
Look. Way up there.
It's her.
( whinnies )
See? It is her.
Who shall you ride,
my princess?
I'll go with Minimus,
because he's faster.
Sorry, Skye.
As you wish,
my princess.
There!
We're gaining on her.
Where'd she go?
Can you see her?
Minimus?
Are we lost?
It's possible.
- Where is the mare?
- We lost her in the mist.
Perhaps I might
be of assistance.
Skye, that's fantastic.
We can use
your light to find her.
Hop on, my princess.
I'm sorry, Minimus.
Skye's horn
can light the way.
I'm going with him.
- All right,
but be careful.
- I will.
Here I come, Skye.
Onward, my princess.
We shall find your
elusive quarry.
Stay close, Minimus.
Was that the mare?
Nay. 'Twas a Highcliff hawk.
- Are you sure?
- This area is
home to them.
Ahead there.
Do you see?
Yes. That's the mare.
Good job, Skye.
I shall get you
to her, my princess.
Not if I get
to her first.
You missed her, Skye.
The mare went this way.
- Follow me.
- Wait, Minimus.
That's not the mare.
Shall I follow him...
or the Mare of the Mist?
Um, I don't know.
Come on, Sofia,
think like a Protector.
Okay, let's follow Minimus.
I don't want him
to get lost in the mist.
As you wish,
my princess.
Minimus!
Hey, how we doin', Sof?
Great. Super.
Almost done.
Good, 'cause, uh,
tick-tock, you're
runnin' out of time.
Sorry. Have to
call you back.
- I'm right behind her.
- But Minimus...
Whew, that was close.
Is everyone okay?
- I am unharmed.
- I think so.
You don't look
so okay to me.
Chrysta, how did
you find us?
You kidding me?
With all the noise
you're making?
So what happened?
We, uh, we...
we lost the mare.
We followed
a hawk instead.
We didn't follow
a hawk.
I did.
It's my fault.
- It's not your fault.
- You're right.
It's your fault, Sofia.
This happened because
you couldn't pick
just one steed.
I know.
It's just so hard
to choose between my friends.
I'm sure it is, Sofia.
But this is your job.
If you wanna get
your bowstring
and be a Protector,
you gotta make a choice.
Right now.
Minimus, you're one of
my best friends, but...
But Skye's better
at this, I get it.
He does know
the Mystic Isles.
He knew about
those hawks,
and you heard Chrysta.
I have to pick.
Whatever you say,
Sofia.
See you back at
the stables,
if you ever happen
by that way again.
Oh, Minimus.
Okay, that's settled.
Now you need to get
back to work.
This doesn't feel right.
Trust me, you have
a better chance of
finding the mare now.
And you learned
a couple of things.
Number one,
always listen to me,
and number two, mm,
okay, there is no number two.
I shouldn't have
made him go.
Minimus, come back!
Princess, there's
no time for that.
You're running
out of daylight.
Come, my princess.
I will help you
complete the task.
( sighs )
Okay.
Next time I see
you, you'll have
that bowstring, right?
Right.
Look. There she is.
My name is
Princess Sofia,
and I'm training to be
the Protector of the Ever Realm.
Yes, I know
who you are.
Mare of the Mist,
may I please have
a hair from your mane
so I can string
my WhichWay bow?
- No. You may not.
- No?
Only those who are
true of heart
are worthy of
a magical bowstring.
Wait! Come back!
I don't understand,
my princess.
You are completely
worthy.
No, I'm not.
I have no bowstring,
the mare is gone,
I'm apparently
not true of heart,
and my friend is
probably lost out there
in the mist.
So what shall we do?
What we should've
done before.
We're going to get
Minimus back.
But what about
the WhichWay bow?
That doesn't matter
right now, Skye.
If being a Protector
means sending my friend away,
then maybe I'm not
supposed to be a Protector.
As you wish,
my princess.
Ow!
Ran into that rock before
a couple of times.
Ow. And the hawk's nest again.
I'm going in circles.
Story of my life.
( straining )
Oh, I'm stuck.
I'm never
gonna get outta here.
Minimus, where are you?
Minimus!
( screeching )
Sorry. I'm trying.
( all screeching )
- Minimus!
- What was that?
- I could swear I heard...
- Minimus!
Minimus!!
Sofia? Sofia!
She's looking for me.
Sofia, I'm over here.
( screeching )
It's him. It sounds
like he's in trouble.
Go, Skye!
I shall fly like
the gale of a hurricane.
Oh... oh, hurry, Sofia.
Excuse us, hawk family.
Pardon me.
I'm just trying
to get to my friend.
Minimus, follow us.
Oh! I'm so glad
to see you.
I was sort of
completely lost,
and then, there were
the hawks, and then...
I'm sorry, Minimus.
It was wrong of me
to choose between you two.
You both
are important to me.
No, it was my fault.
I blew it.
I don't blame you
for choosing Skye.
I must apologize
as well.
My conduct toward you
was unbecoming
of a unicorn.
No, no, it was me.
I was jealous of you
the minute I saw you.
Jealous of me?
But Sofia chose you
over the WhichWay bow.
What? No,
you didn't. Sofia?
You're my friend.
I should never
have told you to leave.
You are right.
'Tis I who should go.
Minimus is your brave
and loyal friend.
If you were true to
yourself, Princess Sofia,
you would've chosen him
as your Protector steed, not I.
Skye, you're
absolutely right.
Farewell,
my princess.
May you and Minimus
have a joyous partnership.
No, no, no,
not about that.
About being
true to my heart.
Minimus, while
you were gone,
the mare refused to give me
a strand of her mane.
What? She thinks you're
not true of heart?
Well, I'm gonna give her
a piece of my mind.
No, she was right.
Chrysta said
being true of heart
is doing what you think
is right, no matter what.
When I told you to go,
I wasn't doing
what I thought was right.
That's why the mare
didn't give me the bowstring.
Maybe she'd give you
a strand of her mane now.
Do you think
we can find her?
BOTH: The day's
not over yet.
We said that
at the same time.
( both laughing )
Come on.
We have to hurry.
You must take Minimus.
He's faster.
But Skye's glowing horn
would light the way.
- Go with him.
- Even better,
we'll work together.
Skye, a little
light, please.
Let us soar,
good Minimus.
SOFIA: There she is!
Excuse me.
Miss Mare.
It's me again.
Sofia.
When I saw you earlier,
you were right.
I wasn't true of heart.
I picked a new friend
over an old one,
and I knew it wasn't
the right thing to do.
But I hope you'll see
I've learned.
Mare of the Mist,
may I please have
a hair from your mane?
Princess Sofia,
you have indeed
shown yourself to be
true of heart.
Thank you.
May you use it wisely.
You did it!
Well done,
my princess!
Light her up, Skye.
Let's go find Chrysta
and tell her the good news.
Uh... would either of
you perhaps recall
where she might be?
Don't ask me.
I couldn't find her
with four hooves and a map.
Wait. The WhichWay bow.
BOTH: Why didn't
I think of that?
String the bow,
pull it back.
Whoa, okay.
Take us back
to Chrysta, please.
Looks like someone
got her bowstring.
And look who's back.
I couldn't have
done it without them.
Both of them.
So you followed your heart,
no matter what anyone else said.
Even me.
Nicely done.
But you still gotta answer
one last question.
Who's going to be
my Protector steed?
Right. Who's gonna
fly with you
in all your
future assignments?
I know exactly
who to choose.
- Skye.
- I am honored.
But would you not
be better served by
the noble Minimus?
No one could serve me
better in the Mystic Isles
than you, Skye.
But back home,
in the Ever Realm,
no one can serve me
better than Minimus.
Oh, hmmm.
Interesting.
BOTH: Sounds good to me!
Well, it's never
been done before,
but we've never had
a Protector like you before.
So I can have both?
Sure. Why not?
We make a great team.
Ahem. Yeah,
that's really sweet.
But can you use
that WhichWay bow
to take us home?
I sure can.
WhichWay bow,
show us the way home.
