As the two guards returned to their post, Soot snuck back towards the waiting room and finally dropped her illusion. She smiled as she watched the two foals be reunited with their worried parents. It reminded her of her own family in Manehatten. This thought brought back the worry she had been holding back before with all the excitement, but looking at the happy family helped her cope with the fact that she would have to wait a day before she could see her family.

Suddenly she remembered that she was still holding Dive Bomb's bag of bits in her telekinesis, she was about to say something before realizing she ought to wait until the touching scene was over.
