Morning arrived at Canterlot City. It was only around twelve hours since the defeat of Madam Myra.
Sunset Shimmer and Melody Aurora arrived at the hospital to visit Phoenix Dawn and keep the appointment made by the police officers. Phoenix was finally awake at six, and was notified that police officers and news reporters will come and take down statements from her.
They reached outside the ward just to find their friends, with both the principal and vice principal, the chief surgeon and the city mayor waiting outside.
“Glad that you’re here, Madam,” greeted the surgeon. “Your daughter’s still being interviewed now.”
“Can I find her?”
“Sure, wait for a minute.” He went indoors, then returned. “You can come in now, and all of you, too.”
“Thank you, Doctor,” said Rarity and they entered.
Phoenix lay on her bed, slightly dazed. She had a few bandages on her body and her left leg was casted with plaster. Several cameramen from television stations were filming the interview.
“Mom…” began Phoenix weakly. “Everybody…”
“I’m glad that you’re alright, Phoenix,” replied Sunset softly.
“How… did you guys… find me in Myra’s place?”
“First of all, you sent us this message.” Sunset showed her the message she received on the morning of her rescue.
“… this message!” Phoenix recognized it. “I… I had to use my nose to type it! I tried to call you for help, and just as I sent it, my battery ran out…”
“Thanks to Chaos Control and his team, we eventually get what you were trying to say,” said Beryl. “Also we were able to find out where Myra’s true location is!”
“But how did you managed to get inside to find me? Her place’s security system is too… creepy.”
“Well, to begin with, Chaos managed to hack into the security system of that place,” explained Platinum Royale. “He was able to observe the whole place from the cameras, and managed to guide us to where you are.”
“Chaos does a lot of hacking!” Beryl whispered to Melody. “He even hacked into the school’s system to help Pizza and Thunder to modify their bad grades!”
Melody asked Chaos. “Did you ever, Chaos?”
“Err, don’t mention that!” said Chaos, rather hastily and embarrassed. “I warned them that they’ll be charged if they ever want me to do it again!”
“And that’s how you’re saved!” finished Platinum.
“Whoa, man,” a reporter remarked. “I can’t believe you kids are pretty smart!”
“Now here’s the question I need to ask,” the inspector from yesterday spoke. “How did you all managed to defeat Madam Myra, and what was that rainbow thing coming from that place?”
“Yeah, I want to know what’s that magic, too,” added Greenie Hats. “The magic which gave me strange ears and wings as well.”
“I can explain everything,” said Sunset. “It’s something me and my colleagues know.”
“What is it?”
“To begin with, this girl and I are from another world,” Sunset referred to Melody.
“Another… world?” asked the reporters, bewildered.
“A world where I live as a different kind and magic exists,” explained Melody. “My mother came to this world a long time ago and helped to spread a special magic that is everywhere to her friends of this world.” She signaled towards the rest of the main five.
“A world full of magic…” a police inspector spoke. “That must be a wonderful thing to live!”
“So magic does exist!” said another reporter.
“From what she spoke, I remember a similar incident many years back,” recalled Fluttershy. “Madam Sunset Shimmer used to be a meanie. Then her mother came to take back something she stole from her world, and from that magic, we’ve turned her back into a good person. I remember gaining these ears and wings like you said, Greenie. And we still have them at certain occasions today!”
“Oh, that was an interesting story,” a reporter responded.
“Err, please, I have one question,” Phoenix interrupted. “You guys… came to save me at your will, right?”
“Err, not me,” denied Pepper Flake.
“Not me, either,” agreed Raisin Brandy.
“It’s all Melody Aurora’s idea,” said Beryl, as Melody went ahead to Phoenix’s side.
“I… I was a meanie to you and everyone, and I thought that nobody would come and save me,” Phoenix asked. “But… why would you still want to help me?”
“It’s because,” declared Melody. “You are part of my friends.”
All were shocked to hear such revelation.
“You and I have some in common. We were fatherless. I was born without a father but yours left a month you were born!”
Phoenix was stunned at Melody’s revelation of her family.
“I strongly believe in one concept that would make me get recognized by everyone. Well, not in a too obvious way but maybe something that can give you a little merit in life. With this concept, and also a magic, I can gain slow, but steady recognition. That, is nothing, but the Magic of Friendship.”
Upon finishing, Phoenix suddenly had a sense of regret. Touched by her words, Phoenix eventually broke down into tears and hugged Melody and wept.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Melody Aurora. I didn’t really know everything about friendship. All I could do every day is to get what I wanted, but I didn’t consider for the sake of others! I’m sorry, I’m sorry…!” She repeated over and over.
“It’s okay now,” she spoke with tender. “You are forgiven. You could’ve been like Myra if you don’t want to change. She was a meanie and a bully, just like you. I think everyone would feel the same as I do, right?”
The others looked at both of them with eager expressions.
“Well said,” replied Rainbow Dash.
“I’d give a yes,” said Prudence Aura.
“I honestly don’t mind,” said Fiji.
“I hope you’ll keep your promise and make a change to us starting today,” said Chaos.
As Phoenix looked at how everyone responded on her will to change, she was moved further. “I will, I will!”
“I hope you’ll be more sensible now, Phoenix,” said Sunset, hugging her. “This incident shall be a reminder on your life’s turning point.”
“I know. I’m sorry, Mom.”
“It’s alright.”
“Excuse me, Madam,” a nurse appeared at the ward door. “You’re wanted by someone.”
“Who… was that?” Sunset arrived outside with the others to find a grayish-orange, maroon-haired man, with a policeman accompanying her.
“Sunset Shimmer, is that you?” the man spoke.
“Rockstar Light…” Sunset replied. “You’re here… What do you want to look for me? After our divorce for eighteen years…”
The other five gasped. He was Sunset’s ex-husband! Why did he want to find her? Take Phoenix Dawn away from her?
“Sunset, my honey,” he continued. “After all these years, I’m feeling regretful. That girl wasn’t I really expected. I’ve followed her all the years but in the end, she deliberately dumped me and went for another person. I was lost and I didn’t know what to do. I had to find jobs everywhere to survive, but all of these jobs… were too short, and I was eventually broke. Just these days I only started to remember you and all of our good times… and our newborn daughter. I tried to search you everywhere but I had no luck so far.
“When I heard that our daughter was in trouble I immediately went to the police to identify myself. They then told me that she has been admitted to hospital so I came here. I wanted to come here and look for you, and say I was sorry for all these years. Will you… accept me back?” He knelt down before her with regret.
As the other five watched with tension, Sunset bent down to him.
“I can see you’ve really suffered all the years, Rockstar. While you just had your affair, I kept thinking that you’re a person without responsibility, neglecting the position of a new father. Now that you’re here, you’re really in a bad state.”
“Sunset, will you let me back home with you?”
“I will,” she said and hugged her long lost lover.
The others sighed with relief.
“I want to see our daughter.”
“She’s in there,” said Sunset and led him back into the ward. “Phoenix, here’s your father.”
“Hello, my daughter,” Rockstar introduced himself. “I was away from home when you’re a baby, now I’m back to mend my relationship with you and your mother. Do you think… I’m a bad father?”
“I guess… not,” Phoenix replied. “Though I was strange because I was like, when have I seen you before?”
“We’re now together again,” said Sunset as they all engaged in a family hug, which caused a round of applause.
“Good thing to see him back again,” said Applejack.
“Listen up, kids,” the mayor spoke. “After listening to your story I am amazed on your bravery. All of you dared to risk your lives to save someone in distress and also managed to help us arrest a long-wanted villain who’s wanted for a series of crimes that hasn’t been solved for many years. With that we can finally bring her under the law. All of you will be greatly rewarded, as I promised a long time ago.”
“Well, when can we receive it?” asked Greenie Hats.
“They’ll call us. Don’t be so impatient, Greenie,” chuckled the principal.
“Despite her being arrested, but there will be some more new villains surfacing and haunting this city. We mustn’t let our guard down should they come and target us,” the mayor continued.
“So that’s the Magic of Friendship plus the spirit of your father that’s protecting us and giving us magic which came from your charm!” said Platinum brightly. “I finally get it now!”
“Then what about Myra’s headquarters building?” Honey Drops asked the Mayor. “What are you going to do with it?”
“Myra’s headquarters? Ho, it will take some time for us to confiscate all of the property of the building, including secret documents which we need enough evidence to link with all of those disappearance cases that happened all these years. When we’re done, we’re going to demolish it and leave it barren, since everyone believed that the spirits of the dead will haunt the place if we turn it into other purposes.”
“Which reminds me,” Sunset turned to the reporters. “Do you all remember that I wrote this?”
Taking out from her file, Sunset revealed them the article she wrote about the death of this world’s Flash Sentry.
“Ohh, yes, it’s in our archives!” one reporter remarked. “What would you like to say about it?”
“From the article, I promised him not to reveal the secret of what he saw before he died. Now that Myra has been arrested, I can safely tell you now…”
For the next few days, the paper’s headlines were all full of the news of Madam Myra’s arrest, and the brave feat of Melody Aurora and her friends. The entire city instantly buzzed on the final fate of Madam Myra. Her end has arrived, and everyone agreed with that.
It was only a few days later when Phoenix Dawn was finally discharged from the hospital. Sunset Shimmer drove her home.
Rockstar Light was at home, chatting with Melody.
“There’s a lot of magic, you say?”
“Indeed! Lots! You can use it to do whatever you want, but you have your own limit.”
“Oh, whoa, I heard a bit about your world from Sunset Shimmer. Looks like I have you as my new information supplier now!”
“Speak of the devil, she’s back!” Melody cried as she heard the engine sound of Sunset’s car entering the yard.
The door opened to reveal Sunset and Phoenix, still with her plastered left leg and was walking on crutches.
“We’re home!” called Sunset. “Anything I missed?”
“Oh, nothing, honey,” chuckled Rockstar. “I was asking more about your world from this girl!”
“Err, Melody,” called Phoenix as she walked to the stairs. “Could you please… help me up to my room?”
“Your room?” Melody asked. “But I’m not supposed to enter…”
“The one who didn’t allow you to enter was the old me. What you’re seeing now is the new me, and the new me now grants you permission to enter,” joked Phoenix, and they both laughed.
“Alright, anyway,” continued Melody as she went over. “I’m helping you up.”
As Melody helped Phoenix to upstairs, a smile beamed on Sunset Shimmer’s face.
“Our daughter’s all grown up,” she whispered to Rockstar.
Later, during dinner…
“Err, Melody, what’s wrong?” Phoenix asked. They were enjoying spaghetti.
“This is so nice…” sighed Melody. “I just wish I can eat more, or order the same thing back in Canterlot…”
Before she knew it, two meatballs appeared on her plate.
“Have some of mine. I know these meatballs are delicious, aren’t they? Oh, let me wipe off that sauce on your mouth.” She held a tissue and wiped her mouth clean.
Sunset watched with a heart of gladness.
A while later, Rockstar was looking for Phoenix.
“Shh, don’t disturb her!” hushed Sunset. “I think she may be chatting with Melody…”
She quietly opened Phoenix’s room door. Much to her delight, she saw her on her books instead of in front of her computer, with Melody tutoring her as well!
“What’s she doing?” Rockstar asked as Sunset gently closed the door.
“She’s studying,” whispered Sunset. “I think let’s talk about all those old times, huh?” She ushered Rockstar downstairs.
It was almost eleven when they finished revising.
“Oh, dear,” sighed Phoenix as she packed her schoolbag. “I can’t really do all those questions without your help. Thanks a lot.”
“Heh-heh, you’re welcome.”
“But there’s something I’m worried now. I’m afraid that… I’ll still be rejected. Everyone will still know how horrid I am…”
Melody assured her. “It’s alright. I think some have seen that you’re willing to change. Others, I just don’t know.”
“You really think so?”
“I… guess. Now I’m going downstairs.”
“To what?”
“Sleep. I’ve been doing this since the first day I came to this world.”
“Oh, come on. You don’t have to now,” Phoenix said apologetically, approaching her in her crutches. “You can sleep with me from now on. I’m not gonna let you suffer from the heat downstairs.”
“Then, it’s okay,” finished Melody and she went out to request Sunset Shimmer for a mattress.
The next morning, at the corridor at Canterlot High…
As the students were chatting their own business, something suddenly caught their attention.
Phoenix Dawn was walking down to her class, assisted by Melody Aurora.
“Phoenix is back…”
“But I got a feeling that I still can’t trust her…”
Melody patted Phoenix to assure her from the rumors spoken by them.
Just then, a girl came up to her.
“Hey there Phoenix. I heard about your condition. Very sorry for you. Well, hope you get well soon! And keep your promise to change by the way!”
“See?” said Melody as the girl walked away. “There are still people who care for you!”
“Then I’m glad.”
“Remember to show your good heart. Slowly but surely they will recognize you back. Now let’s get to find our friends!”
Later, all the students and the staff gathered at the auditorium. The principal had a special announcement to make. The mayor, with several policemen and reporters were there, too.
“As you all know,” began the principal. “About a week ago one of our students, Phoenix Dawn, known as a bully who is the daughter of Madam Sunset Shimmer has been kidnapped by the legendary villain Madam Myra about a week ago. It was definitely shocking to know that one of our students has been kidnapped by a well-known criminal.
“However, in the midst of panic and confusion, we have eight people who were willing to risk their lives to save our student. May the eight of you come out, please?”
Melody Aurora, Pepper Flake, Fiji, Raisin Brandy, Platinum Royale, Chaos Control, Beryl and Greenie Hats all went up on stage.
“These eight have shown their bravery in rescuing their school mate. Plus, with a bit of kind words from the one who led the efforts in the rescue, we hope that Phoenix Dawn will show us a change in her ways. Right now, we will now let the city mayor present the reward offered from capturing and exposing Madam Myra!”
The mayor then presented Melody and her friends a large cardboard check, printed “TEN MILLION DOLLARS”. As everyone posed with the check with photographs taken, those below the stage cheered.
“Now then, Melody Aurora,” the principal continued. “Would you like to say some words of appreciation?”
Melody took over the microphone. “First of all, I would like to thank all of my friends in helping me in my plan to save Phoenix Dawn and help to capture Madam Myra. I believe that with a little act of kindness, help and some friendship, she will definitely show us a change in her heart and acts. After all, this is what I can say. Friendship is Magic.”
The crowd applauded at Melody’s speech. Phoenix, who was moved by her friend’s speech shed tears.
After the ceremony, the reward was well distributed among them. They decided to use half of the reward as the school’s donation funds and kept the other half to themselves.
Using the other half, Pepper, Peanut and Pizza were able to help add more decors to their family’s bakery. Applejack was able to upgrade her farming equipment, along with Rarity who upgraded her boutique’s equipment. Fluttershy was able to donate to an animal organization, and Rainbow Dash was able to upgrade and restore all sports utilities. Sunset even used it to fund her remarriage ceremony with Rockstar Light. Also, Chaos even bought a handphone and a laptop for Melody.
“You should need these whenever you need us,” Chaos told her.
“But what if I go back to my own world?”
“Well, I’ll tell Phoenix to take care of them. Gadgets can’t be kept for too long, they can be damaged even if you don’t use them!”
And all the balance goes into their separate bank accounts.
One morning, a few days after the day the reward was given…
“There’s no news that you’re going back yet?” asked Chaos along the corridor.
“I dunno,” replied Melody. “Mom hasn’t called me to come back either.”
They reached the staff room entrance, where Sunset Shimmer just came out, along with Phoenix Dawn.
“There’s a bit of news for you,” Sunset told her. “Your mother wrote to me this morning. She’s coming along right now!”
“*gasp* Really?”
At that moment, Platinum Royale came running towards them.
“Madam Sunset!” she called. “S-something strange happened just now!”
“What is it?” asked Phoenix.
“I was passing by the horse statue just now, then I saw a flash of light. The next thing I know, I saw a purple-haired lady, and a boy with a black jacket, with a dog… at the statue! She asked me if you’re here, and told me to get you there!”
“That must be your mother! Let’s go!”
“Wait up!” Phoenix called. Melody assisted her along.
There, they managed to find the rest of their friends, all surrounding the “mysterious” lady.
Melody pushed through the crowd, and instantly recognized that hair.
“Mom!” Melody came and hugged her. “I didn’t know that you came! There’s so many things that happened that I wanted to tell you!”
“I wanted to surprise you,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Anyway I missed you so much.”
“I missed you, too, Mom.”
“Wait, Melody, she’s your mother?” asked Raisin Brandy.
“I am, and we are princesses back in our world.”
“Oh, God! How can I…” With his mind blown, and upon realizing that he’s facing a princess from another world, Thunder Clash bowed down to the ground. “Princess, have mercy!”
The rest followed, fearing that the princess will punish them.
“It’s okay, guys. Rise up,” laughed Twilight. “You all are Melody’s friends, huh? I bet she knows many of you.”
“Amazing! Kind of a pleasure to meet you!” replied Prudence.
“Err, hello, Auntie. I mean, Melody’s mother…” Phoenix Dawn approached her.
“Oh, you must be Phoenix Dawn? I’ve heard about you from your mother.”
“Twilight!” Six familiar voices called. Sunset had apparently told her other friends about Twilight’s arrival.
“We missed you so much, Twilight!” said Sunset as the seven of them hugged.
“Me, too!”
“Aww, cheap. Why doesn’t anyone recognize me?” said Spike the dog. He was no longer the puppy he used to be when he first arrived. He was now a fully grown dog.
“Wait, that dog just… talked!!?” exclaimed Pizza, pointing to him.
“Oh, come on! Is that something ridiculous?”
“It’s not ridiculous, Spike,” Melody bent down to him, hugging him. “You’re so adorable as a dog!”
“Ah, well.”
“Meet Spike, everybody.” Melody held him in front of everyone else. “He’s a dragon back in my world. He’s our personal assistant at our home!”
“Dragon, you said?” asked Fiji.
“But I don’t think he’s a scary dragon everyone thinks,” said Malinae.
“Aww, you look sooo cool,” said Pepper.
“You’re so cute,” remarked Beryl, offering him dog food. He immediately ate it up.
“Like it’s the first dog food I’ve ever had in years…” said Spike, making everyone laugh.
“Uh, what time is it now?” The yellow-skinned, blue-haired boy, who was unconscious on the moment he was found asked.
“Oh, Orion Galaxy. You might be surprised at your change now.”
“Wait, what…?!” Orion put his hands in front of his eyes and he couldn’t believe what he saw.
“Calm down, calm down,” she spoke gently just as he was about to go insane. “I was like that, too when I first arrived.”
“I-is that so?” He asked, wiggling his legs.
“I can teach you how to walk, though I’m hurt.” To everyone’s delight, Phoenix Dawn appeared and helped Orion up, despite her injury. “Now then, you move your leg like this, and then your other like this, and do this again and again.”
“Oh, kay…” he replied, trying to stabilize himself. He was about to trip over when then, Honey Drops stopped his fall.
“Th- thanks…” He replied, then he looked at her, blushing. “Like, when have I seen you before? You remind me of my marefriend…”
“Marefriend?”
“His girlfriend, to be exact,” clarified Melody. “Even Chaos reminds me of my own boyfriend, too…”
“I guess, you guys can take me around to show me this place?” asked Twilight to her friends.
“We’re glad to! After all many things have changed since you last came!” replied Rainbow Dash.
“Oh, and by the way,” Twilight called Melody, handing her over a picture album. “Why don’t you show this to your friends on how you look like in Equestria?”
Melody opened the album. The first photos showed her birthday party at her castle. Interestingly, all photos showed her and her friends in pony forms. The others came and surrounded her.
“So that’s you?” Pepper pointed at her pony form. “And that’s me?”
“Yep, and this is Peanut, this is Pepper, this is…” She showed them all of their pony counterparts, which made them amazed.
“So that’s my mom?” asked Greenie when she came upon a picture of her and her pony counterpart in their Wonderbolts outfit at Wonderbolts Academy. “Man, her outfit looks like my sports outfit.”
“Whoa, they throw parties like we do!” exclaimed Pizza Frenzy.
“Amazing!” cried Platinum, looking at the photo of her pony counterpart in Carousel Boutique.
“Whoa, so the pony me looks cute after all!” remarked Malinae.
“Is that Spike?” asked Prudence, pointing to the purple dragon in another picture. “He doesn’t look scary as I thought.”
“Yep, that’s me, her Number One assistant!” Spike appeared on Prudence’s shoulder, nearly giving her a fright.
“Whoa, that orchard looks… majestic,” gasped Raisin Brandy when he looked at the photo of Sweet Apple Acres.
“Is that… me?” asked Chaos as he came across a picture of Melody and the Equestrian Chaos with their cups of cider.
“Yup, he’s my boyfriend,” introduced Melody.
“No offence, but he doesn’t look pony.”
“He’s a cross breed, and none taken, by the way,” she replied, blushing. She showed him another picture. “And this is his father. Now that’s what I call weird.”
“Is that your ruler?” asked Beryl when she came upon a picture of a royal summit, with Princess Celestia inside.
“Yes, and that’s her sister, that’s my uncle and my aunt, and my grandparents!”
“She’s bigger than the most of you,” said Honey Drops.
“So you guys live in Equestria live in all sorts after all! Yet you all are happy with each other,” said Fiji.
“Because we live in harmony, and with friendship,” Melody replied. “Now why don’t we take my mom and brother to show them everything?”
“Ooh! Good idea!” said Pepper brightly. “Afterwards I’m gonna tell Mom to throw a party to welcome both your mother and your brother!”
“At least, I’d better suit myself…” said Orion, rather embarrassed.
For the rest of the day, Sunset and her friends showed Twilight how everywhere has changed, and how everyone treated Melody. Orion meanwhile, had to learn human actions. Soon he was able to get the hang of it.
That evening, they all had a party at Pepper Flake’s house, as she promised. Pinkie and her family served all sorts of desserts and beverages, and everybody enjoyed it to the fullest. Even Phoenix Dawn appreciated a party atmosphere truly for the first time!
Then it was time for everybody for a group photo.
“This is amazing!” beamed Melody when the photo was printed. “I can’t wait to show how I look like in this world to my friends!” She told her mother.
“As you wish, dear,” approved Twilight.
Late that night, Twilight, Orion and Spike stayed at Sunset Shimmer’s house.
“Looks quite decent,” remarked Twilight. “To finally find a home and settle down.”
“Well, I know,” replied Sunset. “It’s Rockstar Light’s idea to choose this, and it fits us perfectly well.”
In Phoenix’s room…
“Your mother’s really nice,” she commented to her. “Like she can give anybody good advice.”
“Well, she always does,” replied Melody. “The Princess of Friendship, after all!”
“This place certainly looks nice,” said Orion, who was looking at her room all over. “Except that, there are some things I don’t know what they are… like this, and this.” He pointed to Phoenix’s computer and her handphone.
“It’s these things people of this world only know,” said Melody. “It’ll probably take some time for you to master them.”
Orion only stared, and smiled meekly.
Morning came. It was time for Twilight and her family to return home to Equestria. Everyone gathered in front of the statue.
“I’d wish you can stay with us longer, Melody,” said Platinum. “It’s bad to know you’re leaving!”
“I know, but I have princess duties to perform,” Melody replied. “But I promise that I will come back anytime if you need me.”
“She’s right,” agreed Twilight. “We do have duties, but we will take our times to return if possible.”
“I even have my guard duties to do,” added Orion.
“Wait, you’re a guard?” asked Thunder, surprised. “Cool! I need you to help me against these bullies against me and Pizza!”
“Not that true meaning, silly,” chided Greenie Hats.
“We won’t forget the days you’ll be with us, Melody,” Chaos told her. “Send my regards to the me of your world. I wish your relationship a success!”
“Same to me, too,” said Beryl.
“We’ll be missing you, too, Melody,” Applejack told her. “We’ll never forget the days you’re here with us.”
“And thanks for giving Phoenix a good lesson. You truly have the genes from your mother!” complimented Sunset Shimmer.
“I, for one thing feel Spike’s the most adorable dog ever,” said Prudence Aura.
“Meh.”
“I guess it’s time to get going,” said Twilight.
“Wait!” called Phoenix Dawn. “I almost forgot!”
“What is it, Phoenix?” chuckled Melody.
“We… we have a school prom at the end of the year. The invitation ticket’s being given out to almost everybody in school, but there’s some extra ones!” She handed her over three or four prom entry tickets. “If that’s possible, would you, your brother, your mother, and even Spike come?”
“We will try, thanks for the invitation,” she answered, keeping the tickets.
Touched, Phoenix went over and hugged her former rival, to everyone’s delight.
“I knew you will come!” she said. “I’m putting my biggest expectations to you!”
“We’ll hope you’ll live nicely back in your world, Melody,” wished Fluttershy. “Do write to us if you can!”
“Oh, for this reason, I almost forgot something.” Twilight presented Phoenix a magical book from Equestria.
“A book?” She opened it only to find empty pages. “But how do I use it?”
“It’s not any ordinary book,” explained Twilight. “You can write it down and it will appear as a message in another book. That’s how I communicated with Princess Celestia and also your mother living in this world.”
“So it means that I can communicate with Melody using this book?”
“Exactly. We’ll get to know what’s happening with each other,” replied Sunset.
“It’s time to get going now. We’ll see you all again soon!” bade Twilight.
“Come back soon, Melody! I’ll miss you after this!” cried Malinae, hugging her.
“I’ll miss you, too. I’ll be back. I promise.”
With that, everyone watched as Twilight stepped into the portal first, then Orion, then Spike, and finally, Melody entered.
After passing the dimension, Melody finally landed back in the library, sprawling on the floor. As she felt herself all over, she felt glad to be a pony back again.
“Whew. Guess I’ll have to get back on fours,” she said as she attempted to stand, then realized that she was a pony again.
“Well you’d better get used to it!” chuckled Twilight. “I had the same experience when I returned from that world! Anyway, I’ll give you this as well.”
She then handed over another magical book.
“Phoenix will write her messages and they’ll all appear in this book. To reply, simply do the same and your message will appear back to her!”
“Okay then. I’ll give it a try now!”
“But first,” interrupted Orion. “Chaos said that he wanted to see you as soon as you’re back.”
“Oh, well! Hang on. I’ll be there with them once I’m done writing!”
After a whole day’s work, Melody finally went to bed peacefully, and that night, she dreamed that she met her own human self, and they both interacted with each other and also her human world friends!
