"Oh, you're sorry! Well, then, everything is fine!"
Pinkie cringed back. "... It is?"
"No!" Cranky bore down on her. "It isn't! Listen to me, kid, I will never be your friend!"
"Never, or never-ever?" Pinkie could barely hold herself together. It was the most horrible thing she'd ever heard. She backed out through the door.
"Never, ever, ever, ever, ever!" Cranky slammed the door in her face.
"That's four 'evers'." Pinkie sat down, the dread growing in her. "That's like... forever!" She tapped a hoof to her head. "Think, Pinkie! What are we going to do about this?" She gasped. "I know!"
* * *
Pinkie and her six friends stood in front of Cranky's door. Pinkie knocked.
"Get lost, kid. I don't want any more..." Cranky's eye showed through the peephole. "What are all these ponies doing here?"
"We're here to show you the magic of friendship!" Twilight stepped forward, her tiara glittering.
The door opened. Cranky stepped out. "Now look here, I don't want any more distractions. I came here for some peace and quiet and–" He cringed when he saw the magic building up. "What are you..."
All six of them began to glow, and multicolored beams of light swirled out of their necklaces.
"Really?"
The beams merged into one huge rainbow and crashed into the donkey, swirling around him in a blinding flash.
A moment later, six mares and one donkey picked themselves up off the ground, most of them rubbing their heads.
Cranky shook on his hooves. He touched his newly restored head of hair. "Wow... I feel... wonderful!"
Sidling up to him, Pinkie leaned in close. "Wanna be best pals?"
He paused for a long moment, his eye twitching as if some buried thought was bothering him, but then he shrugged it off. "Sure."
Pinkie pumped her hoof in the air. "Elements of Harmony. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time."
And here I thought it would summon the girl Cranky knew. That would have been nice.
But she's a prostitute now.
This story is slowly getting darker. I like it!
Independent thought detected. Activating Orbital Friendship Cannon.
I somehow missed this until now. Not sure how that happened, but I'm glad I found it again. What I'm not, however, is sure about what I think about this chapter. Anyway, looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Ouch -- so dark -- you don't refuse Pinkie or she OFC's you. Then you like parties -- you really like parties....

Brainwashing. Yikes.
It is kind of canon though, keep in mind that when Discord showed no signs of reforming, Twilight was going to forcibly reform him with a spell :l
Now Cranky Doodle Donkey will never find his one true love. All thanks to the power of friendship!
KBO.
Elements of Harmony has the power to restore things, including:
-Meany-pants.
-Evil dudes.
-Bad hair.
-Stubborn idiots.
-Broken stuff. (The results may vary for this one.)
Not gonna lie, that's terrifying.
Either way, I kind of don't like the episode.... ....Sadly.
And the Inquisitors have successfully performed a small scale exterminatus on another bad attitude.
Just as planned.
That last line made this chapter sound like a commercial!

What scared me is that there were no fewer than 20 books in the ponyville library with reforming spells strong enough to be considered usable on Discord.
I would have been happier if it were in some hidden book that was not for public dissemination.

this is so wrong

Completely acceptable considering he was the mad tyrant who took over Equestria and reigned in an era of madness and only very specific artifacts are able to contain his world-reshaping power which he uses for absolute selfishness and thus evil. It's not like he was a normal person who just made a mistake that was simple enough to correct and begin to trust again easily.
Ooohhh wow. That's fucked up.
I must continue!
"...and that's why we need to use the elements of harmony," finished Pinkie
"well," mulled Twilight, "we've used them twice so far. One time, it made a bad guy good, and the other time, it turned them to stone. Sure, I'll play those odds."
Goodbye, cranky and Matilda’s wedding

He can still meet her later.
If they’re both living in Ponyville, they’re bound to run into each other sooner or later.
