“Here we are! The Changeling Kingdom!” Firework cheered. 

“Great! Our parents will be home in time for dinner!” Colorful said. 

“Let’s just go inside,” Cider suggested.

The fillies went in. A loud, booming voice welcomed them. 

“Ahh, girls. I see you’ve come for your family. There are six doors. Find the right one. Once that’s done, I’ll ask you a riddle. Answer it correctly and you’ll retrieve your family. Good luck… for now,” it explained. The voice ended with a cackle. 

“Okay, everypony go to one door. Whoever finds it will call the others.” Firework planned.

Colorful went to her door. She didn’t find the correct one. Her surprise was a life without Pegasi. She immediately shut the door. “That was so not cool!” she yelled.

Harmony opened her door. Her surprise was wild and crazy, as if Discord ruled all of Equestria. Her door shut automatically. She squealed in horror. 

Sugar opened her door, finding a calm and peaceful clown. “Hmm, not so bad…” she said suspiciously. Suddenly, the clown went crazy. 

“Whoo-hoo! Awesome entertainment!” she clapped. The clown went in her face. She shut the door in his face. 

“That was so creepy!” she gasped.

When Cider opened her door, she gasped. It was a life with everypony homeless with no food or water.

Diamond’s door shocker was a world without what she called “fabulousity”. Everypony wore rags or torn dresses.

Firework found the right door. The voice came back. “Good job, Princess Firework. Now, for the riddle. What do bees brush their hair with?” it asked. 

“Easy. A brush.” Diamond guessed. 

“No. What kind of idiot would say that?” the voice questioned.

“How dare you call me an idiot?! My father, Fancy…” she started, but the voice cut her short. 

“Next answer,” it said immediately. 

“Um, a honeycomb? Because bees get honey? And you comb your hair with a comb?” Firework inquired. 

“Correct. Come in.” the voice said. 

The six fillies excitedly went in. They were going to get their family back! But instead, a cell trap came down, trapping them. 

The same voice cackled, but this time, Princess Cocoon appeared. 

“I see you girls have wandered into my little trap,” she said. 

“Trap?! You sent us in here for our family. We’re here to get that!” Colorful yelled defensively. 

“You do have your family, right here,” Cocoon said, revealing six more cages: one with Rainbow Dash and Soarin in it, Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, Rarity and Fancy Pants, Twilight and Flash, Applejack, Pear, Apple Bloom, Big Mac, Cheerilee, and Joy, and Fluttershy and Bashful. 

The fillies gasped. Harmony began to cry. 

“What shall we do?” Diamond asked, fainting dramatically. 

“Nothing, dear. Just stay in here until, well, forever!” Cocoon cackled and left, leaving the girls and their family locked up.
