The next morning, Izzy, Sunny, and Zipp woke up feeling really refreshed, despite the fact they got creamed in a pillow fight the night before. During breakfast, Sunny talked to the Alicorns about reuniting all ponykind.
"In all my years ruling," Twilight said, "I know that Pegasi are the most loyal kind, if they have a ruler or authority above them, they usually follow their orders. So if you have one of the above, the Pegasi should be easy to sway."
"Earth Ponies will be concerned for their kind's survival," Celestia said, "To convince them to reunite, you would have to convince both Pegasi and Unicorns to live in peace with one another. If you can do that, I don't think you'll have a problem." Celestia then grabbed a piece of cake, only for it to teleport away.
"Remember our agreement sister," Luna said, "We get all of your cake for a month." Celestia grumbled, remembering the bet she lost to Luna.
"Out of all three ponykind," Drake said, continuing to talk about reuniting ponykind, "Unicorns will be the most difficult to convince. Their kind has the most variety of societies of the other two. Also, they are some of the most stubborn ponies you'll ever meet, at least with my experience. I don't know how many times I had to tell Rarity that I wasn't going to go out with her. But that's beside the point. Unicorns only care for themselves and will wreck any plans with a mistake."
After discussing some more with the Alicorns, Sunny had one last question for the Alicorns before headed back towards Maretime Bay.
"Is it true that your siblings forced you to rise the sun and moon for the first ten years of your retirement?" Sunny asked.
"Yes it's true, but I couldn't have any cake during that time either," Celestia said. Then after some more discussion, Sunny and her friends left the Alicorns.
When they returned to Maretime Bay, Sunny went to the lighthouse to start working on a plan to reunite ponykind. Hitch went over to see how the meeting with the Alicorns went. Zipp found Pipp and Queen Haven and told them about the meeting. And Izzy, she went to the lighthouse to find glitter for a project. When Pipp and Zipp got to Maretime Bay to help Sunny, Zipp gave Pipp the crystal to see if Pipp could solve it. For several minutes, Pipp tried to open the crystal with no luck. Getting angry she scrambled it. When she looked at it, it was more complete than when she was trying. After twelve more minutes, Pipp finally solved the crystal. The final form was a crystalized Fluttershy, which started to glow. The next thing Pipp and Zipp knew, there was a surprised Fluttershy standing there! Fluttershy looked at her surroundings, started to hyperventilate, and screamed. Almost every window shattered in Maretime Bay. Hitch and Sunny quickly ran from the lighthouse to see what was going on. They quickly spotted the scared and timid Fluttershy, who was darting left and right. They finally cornered her and tried to calm her down.
"Whe…whe…where am I?" Fluttershy asked, but was speaking so softly no one heard her.
"What did you say, we couldn't hear you," Sunny said softly, "We're not going to hurt you."
"Where…where am I?" Fluttershy asked again, barely loud enough for Sunny to hear.
"You're in Maretime Bay," Sunny said. Sunny was able to coax Fluttershy out of her corner and told Pipp to watch her while Sunny looked something up in the lighthouse. After a few minutes, Fluttershy started to pester Pipp with questions about the world around her and about technology. After about twenty or so questions, Pipp got tired of questions and flew off, only to be asked more questions by Fluttershy, who followed her. Pipp then lost Fluttershy and started to head to the lighthouse.
Back at the lighthouse, Sunny was going through the remaining books her father had about the main six. There weren't many remaining after the lighthouse collapsed before restoring magic. While Sunny was going through books, Phyllis came in and said, "SUNNY! Canterlogic has been overrun with animals and we need your help!" When they got to Canterlogic, they saw the building overrun with all sorts of critters, and in the middle of it all was Fluttershy. She was telling the animals stories of her friends and also stories of Angel, her best friend. When Phyllis and Sunny approached Fluttershy, she asked, "Oh, do you want to listen to stories of Angel as well? He was such a sweet bunny."
"As much as I would like to," Sunny said, "I can't, this is a business, not an animal shelter. Also how were you talking to animals, that's amazing!"
"I've always been able to talk to animals," Fluttershy said, "I'm sure they won't mind moving out of the building. Come little friends, we need to go now." Both Phyllis and Sunny watched in wonder as all the animals followed Fluttershy out of the building. When Sunny went back to the lighthouse, she left Queen Haven in charge of Fluttershy. When Sunny returned to the lighthouse, she saw Pipp recording herself on her phone.
"Pipp," Sunny said, "Why did you leave Fluttershy alone?"
"Because she was asking more questions than a press conference," Pipp replied, "It was getting exhausting, you know I don't have time to answer a lot of questions." Sunny shook her head and had Pipp gather her friends to the lighthouse. When all her friends were together, Sunny started to make a plan to reunite all ponykind.
"It has to be in an open space," Hitch said, "So there will be room for all who show up." Sunny agreed and after looking at old Equestrian maps, she finally found a spot to gather all ponykind representatives. After that, they started to work on a plan. After about close to two hours, Sunny finally had a plan and a speech that she felt could reunite ponykind. While she was working on her speech, she heard a timid voice speak behind her.
"It's an ok plan, but there's too many grammatical errors, the Unicorns will rip you to shreds," Fluttershy said, "and then Pegasi will want some form of ownership to mountains and other high places." Realizing that Fluttershy could help her, Sunny talked with Fluttershy until Sunny came up with a plan and a speech that she liked. Then with Izzy's help, Sunny sent invitations to all pony leaders throughout Equestria, to meet where Ponyville used to exist. Several weeks later Sunny brought her friends, Fluttershy, Queen Haven, and Alphabittle to the meeting place with her, as proof that ponies could live in peace with one another. As they approached, Sunny couldn't believe her eyes when she saw hundreds of Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns gathered. Sunny took a deep breath, calmed herself, and walked towards the ponies.
