The party in Warnerstock lasted for hours… Princess Gigi Soda had decided to drop in for another visit, and she performed a special duet with Pipp to celebrate their first win against Opaline. But all the while, Misty was saddened that they would be leaving the Warners again… and after all they had been through together. Sunny seemed to notice it and wrapped a hoof around her. “We’ll see them again, Misty. Don’t worry.”
“But how?” Misty asked. “When?”
“I don’t know. But… we’re family to them. And like my dad used to say, family ALWAYS finds each other,” Sunny said. But then… a sudden thought hit her. “Wait… I think I have an idea. Ponies!”
“What’s up, Sunny?” Pipp asked as the ponies went to her aid. “I have an idea how we can keep in touch with the Warners,” Sunny said. “Join your cutie marks alongside mine!”
The ponies did as she said, and everyone watched as their magic went right into the Warners’ bracelets that Misty and Izzy made for them not too long ago, surprising them. “We filled them with Equestrian magic,” Sunny explained. “So we can keep in touch by using them.”
“Wow… thanks, Sunny. This means more to us then you’ll ever know,” Yakko told the apricot earth pony. But suddenly, a portal appeared over near the wall, and Zipp knew what it meant. “Come on, ponies,” she said. “Time for us to go home.”
“Troz… I guess this is goodbye?” Pinky whimpered. “Goodbye doesn’t mean forever, Pinky,” Izzy said. “As my mom used to say… it’s just goodbye till we see each other next time.”
“Good-bye, everyone!” Pipp waved. “I’ll miss all my Warnerstock Pippsqueaks!”
And so, with everyone waving farewell, the ponies and Sparky leapt into the portal before it closed, and the Warners smiled happily. Goodbye wasn’t forever… not really. They always had pony family nearby. And they knew that up in heaven with Twilight Sparkle… their parents would be proud.

Back in her palace, Opaline watched the ponies disappearing into the portal and scoffed. “Next time, Sunny Starscout… next time, I will have my revenge,” she swore. “And next time… there’s NOTHING you can do about it.”
