   Autumn and Twilight trudged through the Everfree Forest with the Elements of Harmony in a safe, magic-proof box. They stopped when they reached a large, clear, pink wall of magic.
"Is this Celentoria?" Twilight asked.
"Past this force field it is." Autumn answered. "But you won't be able to pass unless you can change into a different pony. Do you know how to do that spell?"
"I could try, but I'm not for sure that it'll work." Twilight replied. "Why?"
"You have to be a resident here to enter. Since you don't know anyone here, I could change into a friend of mine and you could be me."
"Ok. Here 'goes." Twilight concentrated really hard and then she began to glow. Soon, she looked exactly like Autumn Breeze. "Hey! It worked!"
Autumn changed to Posey Leaf, the Princess of Spring. "There. Now we should be able to go." She easily stepped to the other side, as did Twilight. Er, Autumn. Oh, forget it!
Once they were in Celentoria, the two could change back to normal (thankfully).
"Wow!" Twilight gasped. "It's beautiful!"
Autumn nodded and gestured to a large, black structure far in the distance.
"That's Thunder's 'Evil Layer'." Autumn explained. "But it's not very evil. She acts like a baby most of the time, so there are stuffed toys everywhere. More like a nursery to me." She giggled.
"I never thought that it would be so...obvious." Twilight admitted as they started on their way to the 'nursery'.
That's when the box the elements were in started to glow, then fade, then glow, then fade again. Twilight stopped to open the box and check on them. She gasped.
"What happened to the Elements of Harmony?!" she exclaimed. They would usually be glowing, just barely, but now they were losing color and weren't glowing at all anymore. Autumn ran over to look inside.
"Oh no." she breathed. "We're too late."
