As Starswirl had said, all of the worlds that Twilight, Casey, Pinkie, Stardust, and Princess Twilight traveled to were rightfully restored, and following the elderly pony's suggestion, Princess Celestia made it so that nopony else would ever be to visit or cause any damage to them ever again.
So, once Twilight and the others were back in the library (and seeing that they'd only been gone for about ten minutes), they all traveled to the Crystal Empire, which was where they planned to originally go in the first place.
After they had arrived, the Mane Six, Spike, and Starlight went to the Crystal Castle while Casey decided to pay a long-overdue visit to a certain unicorn.
#############
Knock-knock-knock!
"I'll be right there," said Sunburst, walking away from the table to go and open his front door.
Once he did, the orange unicorn smiled as he saw who his visitor was. "Hi, Casey! It's certainly been a while..."
"Yeah, sorry about that," said Casey, feeling sheepish as he rubbed the back of his neck with his hoof. "I know I haven't exactly been around to assist you with-"
"No need to worry, Casey," replied Sunburst, holding up one of his hoofs to silent him. "I actually think you're suited better with learning whatever you can from Princess Twilight."
Casey smiled, and said, "Thanks, Sunburst... but since I'm going to be here at the Crystal Empire today for a while, you mind helping me out with something?"
"Sure, of course," replied the young wizard, nodding his head. "What, um... is it exactly?"
Casey walked over to the nearest seat, sitting himself down, and said, "Well, it's something that I haven't told Twilight yet..."
"Sweet Celestia, darling, these look even more gorgeous than when we were statues!"
Applejack rolled her eyes, and said, "Sometimes I worry about what your mind's actually made of, sugarcube."
Shining Armor and Princess Cadence had brought the seven ponies and little dragon to the room where Miles - I mean, Rowan had turned five of them into statues, and now, there were actual statues on the stands, as well as ones of Twilight, Starlight -
"... and Discord?" pointed out Fluttershy, and everypony looked at what she was referring to.
There was a Discord statue next to Fluttershy's, and Shining Armor became confused. "Huh, I don't remember ever asking anyone to make that."
"Well, of course, you didn't," replied Discord, with his stone-like body returning back to normal. "What do I ever get in return for all the heroic things that I've done?"
As he went to stand by the actual Fluttershy, the animal-loving Pegasus smiled at her friend, saying, "Um, I don't think you're exactly quite there yet... but at least you have more friends now than you did since I helped reform you."
"Ehhhh, that is true," replied Discord, nodding his head. "But really, I mean... I helped Starlight save you all from the Changelings, and from that dragon version of Midnight Sparkle."
Rarity smirked at the ruler of disharmony, and said, "Ah, tomahto, tomato, darling... your time will come soon."
Twilight looked at her brother, and asked, "You think you could figure something out?"
"Sure, Twily, I'll be able to find something," replied Shining, giving his young and only sister a smile.
Twilight then looked over at Spike, and said, "I'm sorry about your first statue getting destroyed..."
"Nah, don't even worry about it, Twilight,: replied Spike, shaking his head. "Besides, the second version that they made looks even better!"
Back in Stardust's World...
"... so you got kissed on the cheek by a parallel version of Twilight?"
Stardust chuckled, and he replied, "Yes, Spike, but she only did it as a way of thanking me for saving her life."
The two of them were in the Throne Room, and Stardust had just finished explaining to Spike what happened during the entire (and unsurprisingly short amount of) time he and Twilight had been gone.
"You also kissed an alternate version of Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and even Princess Cadence?"
Stardust started to have a few mixed feelings inside himself again as he answered, "Yeah, but... that was something I just had to do, in order for us to fix the worlds we went to... you understand, right?"
The young dragon nodded his head, and replied, "Oh, yeah, of course, bro... um, did it feltweird to kiss them?"
"..."
"..."
Stardust sighed, and he answered, "Personally, little bro, I was indifferent to them kissing me... maybe a different case regarding Fluttershy since I know she used to have a crush on me, but do not ever tell them or anypony else that I said that. Got it?"
"Yeah, no problem," said the young dragon. "But just so we're clear... you, in no way at all, enjoyed your kiss with the alternate version of Rarity?"
Stardust turned to look at Spike, and asked, "Out of all the questions you could have asked me, you chose that one?"
"Hey, you can't blame me for asking, Star," said Spike, giving him a shrug. "You know how I feel about her."
Stardust smirked at him, and said, "I know, bro, and like I said, I was indifferent to those kisses... so don't worry, you're still the only one I know that has a deep love for Rarity."
Spike's smile grew wide acted he heard the gold pony say that, and after they talked to each other a little more, the young dragon headed off to do his own thing while Stardust looked at his newly-obtained necklace.
"Okay, I definitely could have used something like this for certain events that happened a while back."
"True, but you wouldn't have learned the same lessons you learned, or had the same experiences that helped you grow and become the pony you are today, Jack," replied Starswirl, from inside of Stardust's mind.
Stardust rolled his eyes, saying, "You know, pal, I'm starting to wonder what else you've kept from me over all these years..."
Before the elderly pony could say anything to that, one of the doors opened, and Stardust heard a familiar voice.
"You talkin' to yourself again, sugarcube?"
Applejack entered the room, along with Twilight and Applebloom, and as Stardust carefully walked over to them, she asked, "You okay, Star?"
"Um..." Stardust carefully raised up one of his hooves, and touched her stetson hat a few times. "Just... fine... you are, er, you, right?"
"Uh... yeah?" Applejack replied, sounding confused. "Star, why - oof!"
Her sentence was cut short after Stardust, to AJ's surprise, wrapped his limbs around her, giving the farmer pony a warm hug, and making Twilight and Applebloom smile.
"You don't how happy I am right now to see you, AJ," said the gold pony, relieved that she hadn't become "apple sauce" after all.
Applejack's muzzle slowly became a smile, and she eventually hugged him back, making Stardust feel even warmer inside knowing that one of his closest friends was alive.
"Twilight told me about what happened with what that Rowan fella showed you," she said, once they were apart from each other. "He never showed up, Star, we've been at the same spot you saw us before you two left almost ten or twelve minutes ago."
Stardust opened his mouth to speak, but then, Applebloom looked up at him, and asked, "Hey, don't I get a hug, too?"
"Of course, you do," answered Stardust, and he knelt down to give the little pony a hug.
Then, with a chuckle, he began to give her a noogie, and Applebloom started to laugh, along with Twilight and Applejack. "Aw, come on, Star, I already get enough of those from my big sister!"
(Starity World)
"Whoa, seriously?"
Rarity nodded her head, and smiled as she said, "Certainly, darling... do you like it?"
"It's perfect," said Alternate Stardust, as he put on the cloak.
The unicorn's smile grew wider as she made a mental note to thank the other versions of her friends and special somepony for bringing her Stardust back
(Flutterdust)
"What are you doing again?"
The young Pegasus pony replied, "Writing a thank-you letter to send to the other Stardust for bringing you back to me."
Alternate Stardust chuckled, and said, "Um, I think it might be a little hard to get that to him."
"True, but it'll make me feel better." Fluttershy said, hoping that the other Stardust would know somehow that she truly appreciated all of his help.
(Sunset Balance World)
EG Stardust was laying back against a tree, while Sunset was laying against his chest, and the young teenager had his arms wrapped around her.
"And I thought things couldn't get any weirder here," said Sunset, who had finished telling her boyfriend about what had happened with the other Stardust.
He kissed the top of her head, and began to laugh. "I'm just glad he brought me back to you... and totally wrecked Flash's car in the process."
"You do realize that you could probably be arrested if they ever find out that you stole a car," teased Sunset, which made Stardust roll his eyes, and let out a sarcastic laugh.
"The day I get arrested here is the day that Principal Celestia leaves Canterlot High."
"You okay, Casey?" Twilight asked, who was now back in her library after everypony had returned to their homes.
Casey sighed, and nodded his head. "Yeah, but... see, there's something that I haven't told you yet, Twilight, about-"
"Your parents' death being caused by my battle with Tirek?"
Casey's mind went blank for a moment, and then, he said, "Um, yeah, but how-"
"Sunset told me a few days after she used her powers on you," explained the young alicorn, nodding her head over at the book she used as a way to communicate with the former pupil of Princess Celestia. "She saw your memories from what happened that day you asked her to try it on you..."
Twilight walked over to him, and gave him a warm smile. "I am truly sorry about that, Casey, but from what Sunset told me, they're in a better place, watching over you."
"Thanks, Twilight," replied Casey. "And don't worry, I never really blamed you at all.. but, um, since we're still talking..."
"You'd like to go out on a date?"
Casey was speechless again, while Twilight started to laugh. "I was kind of hoping you say that... did you want to go the day after the party tomorrow?"
"Ye... yeah," chuckled Casey, once he was able to speak again. "But can I make a suggestion?"
"Sure," said Twilight. "What is it?"
Please don't hurt me for this, Stardust, thought Casey before giving his response.
"Let's not do what they did, and go to a place where they serve weird, fancy-ish food and could end up being spied on by our friends."
The next day
"So, let me get this straight," said Rainbow. "The Pinkie Pie from Casey's world invited all six of us, plus you and Starlight, to a party that she's having at their version of Twilight's castle?"
"More or less, yes," confirmed Stardust, nodding his head. "Weird, right?"
Applejack shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Considering what's happened ever since you first came to Ponyville, sugarcube... not really."
"What I find to be weird is that you actually agreed to go," replied Rainbow, looking at him suspiciously. "I thought you would've told them no."
"Oh, he tried to, at first," pointed out Twilight. "But he made a pinkie promise to their Pinkie, and now, he has to go whether he likes to or not."
Before Stardust could say anything, Spike let out a yawn, and started walking back towards his room. "Enjoy the party, you guys... I'm going to bed..."
"I wish I was going to bed... ow," mumbled Stardust, who then got a thump to the back of his head from Twilight.
Rainbow started to laugh, while Pinkie smiled, and said, "Good for you, Stardust, cause you can never break a pinkie promise."
"I'm well aware of that," replied the young pony. "So, would you all like to come?"
"Uh, yeah," said a grinning Rainbow Dash. "I've always wondered what it felt like to actually challenge myself... and now, I'll be able to find out!"
"I don't mind goin' to the party," replied Applejack. "Just as long as me and the 'other me' have stuff to chat about."
The rest of their friends didn't have any other problem with going, so Stardust sighed again, and said, "Well, alright, then, let's go..."
"Be right back, Coloratura!"
Pinkie's other-worlds-saving party was being held in Twilight's castle, and it seemed like it would be one of her best parties that she'd ever thrown... as well as one of her strangest.
"Hmmm... how do I do this the right way?" Pinkie Pie wondered, and after a few more seconds of thinking, her eyes lit up. "I've got it!"
She then took a deep breath, and began introducing everypony to each other.
"Twilight and Princess Twilight, this is Sci Twi... Applejack and Applejack, this is Human Applejack... Rarity and Rarity, this is Human Rarity... Other Me, this is Human Us... Fluttershy and Fluttershy, this is Human Fluttershy... Rainbow and Rainbow, this is Human Rainbow... Starlight, meet Other World Starlight... Sunset, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet, these are all other versions of ourselves that came with Stardust and Princess Twilight... am I missing anypony else?"
Everypony looked at each other, and they all shook their heads, which made Pinkie's smile grow wider. "Awesome! Enjoy the party, everypony!"
Then, in the blink of an eye, she was gone, along with the other two Pinkie's, and as everypony splitted apart from each other, Stardust shook his head, saying, "I can't believe this is-"
"Oh, before I forget, here ya go, Stardust!"
The young pony turned his head to see Pinkie bring over an iced bucket of actual Coca-Cola bottles.
"I know a pony," explained Pinkie, seeing his surprised and confused face, and she left before he could say anything else.
"Huh, maybe this party might not be so bad after all..." said Stardust, as he tried to open the bottle. "How... in Equestria do you..."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that you can twist them off," added Pinkie, who appeared from out of nowhere, taking the soda bottle from his hooves, and using her own hoof to twist the lid off.
Pop!
She handed the drink back to Stardust, and took off running again, leaving the young pony to chuckle before taking a few sips. "I don't think I'll ever get used to Pinkie Pie."
"Well, howdy, Rara," said Applejack, as she walked over to her musically talented friend. "I thought I heard Pinkie say your name... glad you could make it."
The light blue and grey Earth pony smiled, and gave her childhood filly friend a hug. "AJ, hi... yeah, I'm sorry I haven't been around since the music festival."
"Ah, no need to be apologizing, sugarcube," replied Applejack. "Your life must be one barrel of craziness as a world-famous pop singer."
Coloratura chuckled, and agreed with the hard-working Earth Pony. "That's true in so many ways... but luckily, my world tour just ended a few weeks ago, and I have some time left before my new manager finds something else for me to do."
Hearing that her friend had another manager now, Applejack started to frown, and she asked, "Exactly how much time is this new manager pony of yours givin' you?"
"Well, let's just say that it's enough time for me to accept an offer from Twilight to stay in one of the rooms here," replied Coloratura. "And I'll be able to be with you and the rest of your friends."
Applejack's frown quickly went away, and she said, "Now, that sounds like a pretty darn good manager, and a lot better than that Svengallop pony... plus, that was mighty nice of Twilight to offer you a room."
"Indeed, it was," agreed Coloratura, as she noticed the alicorn princess talking to other ponies. "You're certainly lucky to have a friend like here, AJ."
"Aw, shucks, Rara, you don't have to say..."
She paused her sentence to take another look around the large room, and noticed that there was a stage set-up with a piano, as well as places for other ponies to play their own instruments.
Plus, I think I saw Octavia and Fancypants earlier, thought Applejack.
"... um, I'm guessing you're gonna sing that one song of yours everypony likes?"
Turning her head to look in the same direction of her friend, Coloratura chuckled, and gave Applejack a teasing wink as she said, "Maybe, but you'll have to find out later on, like everypony else..."
Applejack rolled her eyes, but the two of them ended up sharing a laugh together.
Then, she was about to ask Coloratura more about the tour when the singer finally noticed that her friend wasn't alone.
"Um, AJ... why do I see two ponies that look almost exactly like you?"
And here comes the confusing stuff, thought Applejack, who then cleared her throat before making an introduction.
"This here is a version of me that came from the world that Sunset Shimmer stays at, and she's a version of me that came from another dimension."
"Howdy, Rara," replied both EG Applejack and Alternate Applejack.
Coloratura looked back and forth between her friend and the other two versions of AJ, and said, "I must've been gone longer than I thought."
"Oh my gosh, you're actually here!"
They turned around to see a trio of little ponies, known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, run over to Coloratura, and Sweetie Belle was the first one to speak.
"Are you singing later tonight?"
Coloratura chuckled, and replied, "You'll have to find out later, I'm afraid... isn't that right, AJ?"
"Yep, sure is," replied Applejack, but then, she frowned after realizing that the other two AJ's had said the same thing.
"So... which one's your sister, Applebloom?" asked Scootaloo, looking at the three identical Earth ponies. "I just finished trying to figure out which Rainbow Dash was which."
"That'll be me," answered Applejack, walking over to her little sister. "Sorry if this is confusin' you, sis."
The light-yellow pony shook her head, and said, "I knew it was you, anyway."
"Sure you did," teased Sweetie Belle, while Scootaloo started to laugh.
"Well, let's see you try," replied Applebloom, as she pointed her hoof at the group of Rarity ponies.
"Oh, my..." gasped Sweetie Belle, not realizing that there was now three versions of her big sister at the party.
Speaking of Rainbow Dash, she was having a conversation with her two counterparts about which one of them was the best.
"Uh, me, that's a no-brainer," exclaimed EG Rainbow, as she bounced her soccer ball on top of the table they were sitting at. "I mean, I'm the best at pretty much every sport at my school, I have my own band and hit song, and this little baby right here gives me super speed!"
She was referring to the geode necklace that she was wearing, and Alternate Rainbow argued, "Well, that just means you're as fast as us... and also, I think I'm the one who deserves to be known as the best."
"You two willing to put your bits where your muzzle is?" Rainbow Dash challenged, raising an eyebrow at her other selves, and offering a hoofshake to both of them.
"You're on," said the two Rainbows, shaking her hooves, and Rainbow Dash chuckled mischievously as she revealed the way for them to find out who was the best.
As for Rarity, she and the alternate version of herself from Stardust's world were listening to EG Rarity tell her story about what had happened at Camp Everfree.
"... and you cannot believe my reaction when Pinkie destroyed my runway again," exclaimed EG Rarity, letting out a dramatic sigh. "It's a miracle I was able to have my fashion show before we went back home."
The two other ponies looked at each other, and Rarity said, "Um, forgive me, darling, but I think you mean to say that the dock was destroyed."
"Oh, you sound like the rest of my friends," replied EG Rarity, shaking her head. "Which also sounds weird coming from me, since we all have the same voice."
Alternate Rarity was about to speak, but Sweetie Belle came over, and asked, "Excuse me, but which one of you is actually my sister?"
"You mean you can't even tell?" EG Rarity said, letting out a fake gasp. "I am so appalled, Sweetie Belle..."
"Hey, don't you start teasing her," said Alternate Rarity. "It's not her fault we three look almost completely the same."
Rarity sighed, and shook her head as she walked over to the small unicorn. "Don't you worry, Sweetie Belle, there's always going to be one of me here."
"Absolutely, we're just visiting," replied EG Rarity.
Sweetie Belle blinked her eyes a few times, and looked up at her sister. "You don't think this is confusing, big sis?"
"Well, of course, I do," replied Rarity, wrapping a limb around the little pony. "But I can honestly say that I'm not surprised by this."
Fluttershy was having a nice conversation with her two counterparts until Discord suddenly appeared next to her.
"Ah, there you are, Fluttershy," said the master of chaos. "I was beginning to think I'd never find you in this... oh!"
Discord looked at the two identical versions of Fluttershy, and said, "Well, fancy that... I never knew you had twin sisters."
"Well, I don't actually," corrected the animal-loving pony. "She's from Sunset Shimmer's world, and she's from another world that is parallel to ours."
"You don't say?" Discord said, sounding surprised. "How peculiar... and surprising to see that we haven't blown up."
A few feet away, at a table, Pinkie Pie (who had heard their conversation) started to frown. "You know what, Pinkie #2 and 3?"
"What is it, Pinkie Prime?" asked the other versions of Pinkie.
"I'm beginning to think that the whole paradox thing doesn't even exist at all," replied Pinkie Pie, with her other selves nodding in agreement.
Twilight and Starlight, as well as Princess Twilight and Starlight's parallel counterpart, had eventually taken their conversation to the library, leaving Casey alone with Sci Twi, and Stardust to his bucket of Coke bottles.
Enjoying the party?
"From right here, yes," muttered Stardust, in a low voice so that nobody could hear him.
Why not go over to anypony else, and talk to them?
"Because I don't want to get too attached to this world," replied the young pony. "I also want to avoid bringing any kind of danger to-"
"Well, this is a surprise," interrupted Sour Sweet, in a negative tone, while Sugarcoat stood beside her. "I didn't expect to see you here."
Just my damn luck, thought Stardust, and said, "The same could be said for you... have you been nice to Sci Twi?"
"Oh, we've just been the best of friends," replied the bipolar human-turned-mare, a bright smile on her face. "But, um... how did you know about her?"
"Star Sense," muttered Stardust, being sarcastic. "And, hello to you, too Sugarcoat... still being your usual blunt self?"
The blue-greyish pony gave him a small smile, and asked, "Still feel indifferent towards us?"
"Yep," replied Stardust, nodding his head.
Sour Sweet was about to say something when Sunset appeared, saying, "Alright, you two, leave him alone..."
"We weren't doing anything wrong," hissed the bipolar pony. "I just wanted to have a decent conversation with him."
"She's right, Sour," replied Sugarcoat, grabbing her friend's limb to pull her away. "Leave him to his bucket of soda pop."
As the two of them walked away, Sunset gave an apologetic smile to Stardust. "I'm sorry about that... um, Starlight, right?"
"It's Stardust," corrected the human-turned-pony, who suddenly started feeling strange. "Starlight is the purple unicorn that Twilight has as a pupil."
"Oh, I'm so sorry," apologized Sunset. "I've met so many ponies with similar names, and with what I deal with back in the world I stay at, it's hard to remember who is who... I mean, there's Twilight, Midnight, Starlight, Stardust..."
"Hey, Sunset, you done yet?" yelled Sour Sweet, who was now several feet away from them. "You were the one who brought us here!"
Sunset looked at Stardust, who smirked at her, saying, "Go on... I'll be fine."
The yellow pony smiled, and bid him goodbye before walking over to her friends, leaving Stardust alone again.
"Why did I feel weird when she messed up my name?" wondered Stardust, who was moving on to his next bottle of Coke.
I believe it's the fact that you miss the Sunset from our version of the Equestria Girls world, explained Starswirl, which made Stardust roll his eyes.
"That's certainly not it," muttered the young pony. "Besides, her place is in that world, just as my place is in... well, our version of Equestria."
True, but ever since that night in Miss Pie's kitchen, you've grown to care for her just as your beloved has with Starlight?
Then, before Stardust could say anything, he found himself having a flashback to that exact night, where he'd decided that he would be a better mentor to Sunset than Princess Celestia could ever be.
Did you not also tell yourself that you would be like an older brother to her, or even a role model, if necessary?
"You... ugh..." groaned Stardust, who found himself agreeing with the ancient pony. "Alright, fine, I sometimes miss her, but like I said, she-"
"Hey, Stardust," said Sunset, who had suddenly appeared next to him.
"Yeah, hi... like I said, Starswirl, she belongs You-Know-Where, and I-"
Sunset interrupted his conversation by saying, "So, that's all I get from you?"
Stardust rolled his eyes, and replied, "I'm sorry, but we just talked earlier, remember? You forgot my name..."
"No, I didn't," replied Sunset, frowning at him. "I just got here, and I said your name right."
Stardust shook his head, and said, "You must have a really bad memory because you were just here, then went over there to-"
He found himself cutting his sentence short when he saw that Sugarcoat and Sour Sweet were still talking to... Sunset, and he looked back at the Sunset in front of him, realizing that he had made a mistake.
Starswirl, did you...?
(Starswirl) I had nothing to do with this.
"You... her... I..." Stardust looked back and forth between the two Sunsets, and a sheepish smile appeared on his face. "Hi, Sunset."
EG Sunset smirked at her friend, and said, "You certainly haven't changed since the last time we saw each other."
"Oh, do not remind me about those events, please," exclaimed Stardust, which made the yellow unicorn chuckle. "I'm guessing you got a Pinkie Pie invitation?"
She shook her head, to his surprise, and said, "Twilight actually invited me here... she figured you wouldn't have anypony else to talk to."
Before Stardust could reply back, the young pony noticed that he didn't feel so strange anymore.
I told you, Jack.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," muttered Stardust, not wanting to admit that Starswirl had been right, while EG Sunset took a seat next to him.
"So, I take it you and Twilight have been pretty busy yourselves?"
Stardust began to laugh, and he replied, "That would be an understatement, Sunset... see, I was-"
"Well, look at that, you have your own necklace now," Sunset said, looking at the silver accessory around his neck. "Does that mean you have magic inside of you like-"
"Nope, nope, nope," replied Stardust, shaking his head. "This is nothing like the geode necklaces you and the others have... and you wouldn't believe what I went through to get it."
"Oh?" EG Sunset said, raising an eyebrow. "Humor me, then..."
Stardust chuckled, and replied, "You asked for it."
However, his nose smelled something familiar, and he noticed that Sunset had also brought a rather large square-shaped box. "You didn't..."
"You may have beaten the others in a 'pizza eating' contest, Jack, but you've never gone up against me," challenged EG Sunset, while Stardust chugged the rest of his soda, tossing it into a nearby trashbin, and opening another one.
"Bring it on, Shimmer..."
Don't blame me if you can't sleep later tonight, said Starswirl.
Several hours later...
As Coloratura stood atop the stage, taking her seat at the piano, Stardust and EG Sunset had finally been approached by Princess Twilight, who asked, "Have you two been enjoying yourselves?"
"Uh-huh, " replied Stardust, his stomach completely full, while Sunset nodded her head. "How'd it go in the library?"
Princess Twilight was about to answer, but then, she was interrupted by Colartura's singing voice.
I'm here to show you who I am
Throw off the veil, it's finally time
There's more to me than glitz and glam, oh-whoa
And now I feel my stars align
From the side of the stage, Applejack couldn't help but feel teary-eyed as one of her closest friends sang her heart out, and neither could her other selves, who were also getting ready to cry themselves.
For I had believed what I was sold
I did all the things that I was told
But all that has changed, and now I'm bold
The lights inside of the castle began to lower their brightness, with only a bright stage light shining on Coloratura.
'Cause I know
That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you
All of the unicorns in the room started using their horns as lighters, including the three versions of Twilight, Rarity, and the two versions of Sunset.
And now I see those colors
Right before my eyes
I hear my voice so clearly
And I know that it is right
They thought I was weak, but I am strong
They sold me the world, but they were wrong
And now that I'm back, I still belong
Once her vocals started rising up, Coloratura's musical note Cutie Mark began shining brightly, just like the other times that Applejack (and her self from another dimension) had seen.
'Cause I know
That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you
Just like the magic inside of you...
After singing her final note, Coloratura said, "Everypony, please, hold your applause until I conclude with another song that's dear to my heart... as well as one of my bestest friends."
Then, once the Cutie Mark Crusaders were on-stage with her, Coloratura also turned to look at Applejack, motioning for her to join them, and that is just what the farmer pony did.
EG Applejack found herself about to do the same thing, but Parallel Applejack brought her back down, and shaking her head.
"That's meant for that Applejack, sugarcube, not us," reminded the teenager-turned-pony.
As the other version of Applejack sighed, then nodding her understanding, she and everypony else watched the five ponies sing another familiar song.
Equestria, the land I love
A land of harmony
Our flag does wave from high above
For ponykind to see
Equestria, a land of friends
Where ponykind do roam
They say true friendship never ends
Equestria, my home
Sweetie Belle then used her magic to levitate a triangle-shaped instrument next to Applejack, whom happily played the same single note she'd played the other two times, and everypony gave their applause.
