A few days later Twilight Sparkle was in Sugarcube corner with her five best friends and her four new friends from the village. It took a lot of explaining to Princess Celestia, but despite being a part of Starlight's scheme, she decided not to press charges on them. They soon began investigating her past and thanks to Luna's dream walk she was able to uncover a few memories. "So what did Princess Celestia do to Starlight?" asked Night Glider.

"Considering her mental state and what she did we both agreed its best she would be locked up in a magic proof mental hospital. Don't worry she's being treated quite well considering." Explained Twilight.

"At least on the bright side we can do things better than what we did before." Said Double Diamond.

"You said it, these two have great talents, you know I am looking for somepony to help me with balloon animals and maybe in the kitchen." Said Pinkie who had her hooves around Party Favor and Sugar Belle.

"I'll take my balloon talent anywhere any day." Said Party Favor as he pulled a balloon dog from out of nowhere.

"I suppose I can stay in this town for a while, maybe we can make more friends." She said as she looked out the window to see a certain red stallion pass by with a wagon.

Twilight smiled softly. "Well then, I think I speak for all of us when I say welcome to Ponyville, new friends."

===========================

"Wake up patient, you have a visitor." Said a guard as he attached a chain to a still drowsy Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight has somewhat recovered from the attack she endured but ever since she was admitted to the hospital she became suicidal and was now on watch with heavy guard. She silently followed the guard to a room full of tables and a couple of vending machines where there was somepony waiting for her. An orange unicorn stallion wearing glasses.

Starlight tensed upon seeing him. Memories of her past came surging through her like a flood. The stallion placed down a book he was reading and looked to the unicorn. "Hello old friend."

Starlight Stammered, a few tears trickled down her face as she uttered the name of the stallion with her. "Sunburst?"

========================

That night Twilight Sparkle was walking the halls of her castle alongside Spike. It had been a long day."Sorry I didn't come to help sooner. Wish I could've remembered where you went." Said Spike.

Twilight patted his head. "Don't worry about it. At least something did come to save us."

"Yeah its strange, there were a few alternate sightings here in Ponyville but they all disappeared the moment you were free. Where do you think they came from?" Asked Spike.

"I guess we'll never know." Said Twilight

But as they passed by the room with the map table they didn't notice the gray alicorn watching them walk by through an open door. The alicorn then walked towards the map table and climbed on. With a glow of it's horn it slowly sank into the table like a ghost.

Outside through a window a hooded horned figure watched as he opened a portal. "For people born of the same matter, they are always different from each other."

He walked in and closed it.
