“Ya girls shouldn’t have come. It could’ve been too dangerous. But ya already crossed that limit.” Applejack said sternly. 

“I’m sorry, Mom! I didn’t know! I wish I hadn’t…” Cider began. 

“No! Mrs. Applejack, it’s my fault! I got a note saying that you all were kidnapped. So I rounded up the others! Please don’t push the blame on them.” Colorful admitted. 

Rainbow and Soarin were shocked. Colorful had never done anything like this before. 

“Colorful, it is okay. You were just worried about us and wanted your…” Soarin trailed off. He didn’t know if “friends” was the right way to put it. 

But Colorful said it. “Friends to help?” she guessed. 

Everypony’s jaw dropped. 

“We’re… friends again?” Sugar asked. 

Colorful smiled. “Yes!”

“You mean… we’re the Mini Mane Six again?” Diamond asked. 

“Yes!” Colorful said. 

The six embraced. 

“Well, now we have to escape. But how?” Firework thought. Twilight and Flash looked at each other and performed a spell. 

After it, everyone was transported out of their cages. 

“How did you…” Joy asked. 

“It’s called The Power of Love Spell. Anypony can do it, whether they have a horn or not, as long as they have the power of love in them. That’s why I was able to do it and I’m a Pegasus.” Flash explained.

“Now, let’s go! Princess Cocoon isn’t all that powerful. She just lured us in a trap.” Apple Bloom said. 

“Not so fast!” a voice behind them yelled. 

They all whirled around. 

Princess Cocoon and Queen Chrysalis were standing there! 

“You think you can just waltz in here and leave. Not without a battle!” Chrysalis yelled.

“We’ll compromise a deal. If you win the battle, we’ll let you go. But if we win, you’ll stay here forever!” Cocoon said. 

“It’s on!” Soarin said. 

"Okay, then. Changelings, come!" Cocoon hollered.

All the Changelings came and took the form of the ponies.

They went to the real one (while disguised) and claimed that they were the real them. When the real one believed that, the Changeling pounced on them.

Mother and daughter cackled.

With all of her strength, Twilight yelled, “Use The Power of Love Spell! It’ll help us all!” 

“But how? We don’t know!” Bashful countered, hugging Harmony tightly. 

Every other parent did the same to their child. 

“Hug the ponies beside you! For it to work big time, Pegasi must flap their wings hard and Unicorns must use their magic. Since Firework and I are Alicorns, she and I will do both.” Twilight explained.

Everypony did what Twilight said. 

Chrysalis burst out laughing. “This is hilarious! A little love spell won’t hurt powerful Changelings like Cocoon and I!” she wheezed. But it did. 

A power surge bounced Chrysalis and her daughter to a faraway place, never to be seen again.
