3rd POV
The group had reached Ponyville much quicker then they left, apparently Nightmare moon had put the group in an 'endless loop' spell, hoping that they'd get too tired in the forest to continue. And sure enough, when they reached town, a party was waiting for them. At some point during the party, with the help of Pinkie and Wendy, Mike had managed to convince Zoey to at least hear him out. Zoey agreed (reluctantly) on the terms that he be completely upfront with her, no saying that something was 'classified' or saying he didn't have a choice, Mike agreed.
"Start, and remember, no bullshit." She said angrily, Mike nods.
"As you know, I was assigned to watch you two until it was deemed safe for you to stay. Apparently my mentors, the two I was talking too earlier, had set up your house. They had told me this before I left Canterlot. When I asked them why they did, they said it would be for the best that you two specifically should have your own place to stay, that it was necessary for future events. This had been a red flag for me, those two never get involved unless it's something really serious, in fact it's considered a war crime for Equestra to have them fight in times of war due to how destructive they are." Mike started.
"As bizarre as that is, what does that have to do with this?" Zoey questioned.
"I'm getting to that. Anyway, you two are considered important enough for them to get involved. So that was flag one. Flag two popped up when we first got to Ponyville, I noticed that Wendy seemed to know who Twilight was, but she was assigned to help with the celebration, so I didn't question it. Though I was a little suspicious when she suddenly tensed when looking me over. The real instance was when she knew that Twilight could use magic without a horn, and instead of saying that she assumed that Twilight could because she herself could, she went with the excuse that she thought Twilight was an earth pony with the magic trait that increases physical abilities. As you can see, all earth ponies have bulkier arms and legs then unicorns do, I wouldn't have suspected anything if she had said Pegasus. Walking through town, I heard how aggressive you’ve been in only a week, which is much more then Juvia would be unless Grey was involved. Then came the moment started to make me doubt you two. 'Shield' mentioned how displaces come here. And the one who brought you here was some scatter brain who did this on a wim, so for all I know, you two could be serial killers just waiting to go on a rampage using the powers of Juvia and the original Wendy. And then there's the biggest red flag…." Mike said before trailing off.
"Which is…?" She said with an almost convinced look.
"…Traces of a very large and potent perception and memory altering spell was discovered to be covering the entire town." Mike answered before giving her a look, said look actually shot a chill down her spine. "Care to guess how long ago the spells was discovered to have been placed, and who the spells were focused on?" He asked her, she sputtered for a moment.
"WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT!" She yelled in panic, Mike raised a hand.
"I know that now, that's what my mentors wanted to tell me, among other things that I'll share after we get to your house." He assured. "So know do you understand why I did what I did?" He asked hopefully, Zoey gives a long sigh.
"Yeah…considering how much concrete evidence you had against us, I can see why you pulled that stunt." She relented. Mike holds out a hand.
"So can we start over?" He asked. "I'd like for us to be friends." He added with a smile. She stared at him for a moment, then a small smile breaks out on her face. And with a little chuckle, she grabbed his hand.
"Sure. Just don't pull anything like that with us again." She says with a shake, he nods, fully accepting her condition.
"I'm glad you two made up." Wendy said, causing the two to look in her direction, only to find Wendy and Luna hugging. For some reason, this slightly agitated Zoey, but she didn't show it.
"Why are you two hugging?" Zoey asked, Mike nods in agreement. Wendy and Luna shared a look before answering.
"I / We don't know". They said at the same time.
"For some reason, I just had the urge to hug her." Wendy said with a shrug.
"As did we, as if some unknown power demanded it, though we can't think of a reason as to why." Luna said, rubbing Wendy's back.
-Cuddles~-. Wendy heard someone say, and this time, Luna heard it as well. They looked around, only to find no one but Mike and Zoey.
"Ok?" Mike asked in confusion and a raised brow. "Well feel free to join us at the party when you're done." Mike says with a shrug before walking off.
After that, Luna, Wendy and Zoey walked back to the party, with Luna walking to Celestia’s side. After a while, the party started to slow down. At the end, the Royal sisters said their farewells, and went back to Canterlot (though Wendy felt an unexplainable sadness at seeing Luna fly away in the chariot). Twilight, who had chosen to stay in Ponyville, had made cleaning up much quicker than it normally would have been. Once that was settled, the Displaced trio had went to Wendy and Zoey’s house, where Mike filled them in on what his mentors had told him.
