How The Friendship Games should have ended

Despite the fact that it's been awhile since the movie, I decided that the ending of Friendship Games was somewhat unsatisfactory, in regards to how Principal Cinch was dealt with. I've decided to take that scene and change it. This is the result.

Cinch is not going to walk away in this story, not after a higher authority shows up unexpectedly. Want to know more? Read the story.

Special thanks goes to Firesight, who edited and expanded this story into a very respectable state. We've collaborated frequently, on everything from Turnabout Storm to his own works, and I think we both agree that both our works are better for our cooperation.

I like to think with the ending is that neither side could really do anything since the existence of magic is hidden... or something. Of course I would give it no more than 30 minutes after the end of the Games that videos of the fight showing up on Youtube and Facebook.

Honestly, I actually like how the movie dealt with Cinch.
Cinch was spending the whole movie trying to keep her school's reputation intact, regardless of the cost. She obviously failed at that, so despite walking away with physical dignity intact and not getting harmed/reprimanded, everyone involved knows her school's undefeated reputation is no more, so as a result of that, Cinch ultimately lost.
And the fact that she got talked down by the principals, Dean Cadance, and her own students, means that she still got punished beyond that, which was satisfactory.
