Phoebe sees the news online on her dad’s computer and despairs at the sate of things, but takes comfort in her unicorn’s friendship. Phoebe and Marigold find out they really don’t appreciate each other’s favorite songs, which is dismaying at first: how can they like each other, if they don’t like the same music? (Wow, I’ve had this happen, a partner who was mortally offended that I disliked his music). Dakota gets challenged to a popularity contest with the goblin queen, but when she realizes what that entails, refuses to take part. So she parts ways with them. Marigold wants to meet more of her relatives, and they get a visit from Infernus, who is non-binary, which the unicorns find completely normal. Marigold takes lessons in humility from Lord Splendid Humility- and they don’t really stick. Dakota tries to be nice, inviting Phoebe to sit with her friend group at lunch, but they all think her remarks are weird. Then Phoebe asks Dakota to join her and Max at recess, but that doesn’t go smoothly either. She decides that her different friends just don’t mix well. More happens! This is just a sampling, because I wrote in a hurry.
