*1 Helping Twilight Win The Crown ~ Endless Possibility Vocal Mix
*2 Time to Come Together

It was a normal day for the students of Canterlot High, during lunch period the students were either chatting amongst themselves, playing with their phones, or showing off to others at their table, Flash Sentry and a group of people who looked like his band mates were eating their lunch and listening to Flash play his guitar. Rarity, who was wearing a blue sweater with a yellow horseshoe shaped to look like a "C", sat down at a random table and discreetly put on her Wondercolt ears in preparation for her and her friend's performance. Rainbow Dash, who wore the same sweater, sat down at a random table as well and put on her Wondercolt ears too.

*1

Pinkie Pie, unlike Rarity and Rainbow Dash, was standing in the lunch line, but she was wearing the same blue sweater and put her Wondercolt ears as and banged it on the counter in a certain rhythm. Soon after she did, Rarity stomped her feet imitating the same rhythm, but clapped her hands to add to it. Then Fluttershy did the same, banging on the table with two empty glasses. She sat next to Kei, who is tapping his foot. Applejack with her hands, clapped and banged on the table she was sitting at, following the rhythm. Rainbow Dash had an empty lunch tray and banged it on her table in the time with the rhythm her friends were making. Everyone was perfectly in time when Spike and Wylie turned on the radio next to them and watched them as they sang,

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy & Rarity]

Hey, hey, everybody

We've got something to say

We may seem as different

As the night is from day

But if you look a little deeper

And you will see

That I'm just like you

And you're just like me.

Yeah!

Kei started to sing, much to the surprise of the girls and mostly everyone around them. No one knew Kei could song. No one except for a few people. Don't get him wrong, he does enjoy singing from time to time, it's just not in a large crowd.

[Kei]

This is my escape

I'm running through this world

And I'm not looking back

'Cause I know I can go

Where no one's ever gone

And I'm not looking back

But how will I know when I get there?

And how will I know when to leave?

We've all gotta start from somewhere

And it's right there for me

The possibilities are never ending!

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy & Rarity]

Get up, get down

If you're gonna come around

We can work together

Helping Twilight win the crown

So get up, get down

'Cause it's gonna make a sound

If we work together

Helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!

[Kei]

I see it, I see it

And now it's all within my reach

Endless possibility...

I see it, I see it now

It's always been inside of me

And now I feel so free

Endless possibility!

The main 6 never expected what they heard, how amazingly he sang. They continued to get the others to join while Pinkie Pie was all over the place, getting the other students to join in. Across the room Fluttershy passed sets to Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, since they were freshmen, they'd never worn anything like these. All three smiled at one another before putting the ears and tails on and joining the girls.

[Pinkie Pie]

Hey, hey hands up now,

We're sending a message to the crowd

Hands wave up

Then come down

We party together

All around

[Rarity]

Generous, honesty,

[Applejack]

Laughter, kindness, loyalty

[Fluttershy]

Twilight helped us each to see

[Rainbow Dash]

All that we can be!

So get up!

[Kei]

And so we'll carry on

My time to shine has come

I feel it

As fast as I can go

Straight to the top I know

You'll see it! (You'll see it!)

So please wake me up when I get there

It feels like I'm lost in dream

I know in my heart that it's my time

And I already see

The possibilities are never ending!

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy & Rarity]

Get up, get down

If you're gonna come around

We can work together

Helping Twilight win the crown

So get up, get down

'Cause it's gonna make sound

If we work together

Helping Twilight Sparkle win the crown!

[Kei]

I see it, I see it

And now it's all within my reach

Endless possibility...

I see it, I see it now

It's always been inside of me

And now I feel so free

Endless possibility!

[Twilight Sparkle]

I'm gonna be myself

No matter what I do

And if we're different yeah

I want you to be true to you

If you follow me

We'll put our differences aside

We'll stick together and

Start working on that school pride!

[Kei]

Drop n' stop, 'cause you're beaten again!

No, this is where my journey begins!

You're losing speed, you're losing your flow

But inside is a power you'll never know!

And let it out-it's inside you!

Better all step back, 'cause I'm coming through!

Applejack skipped up to a pair of Eco kids and handed them some ears and tails. As soon as they took them and place them on their heads, they couldn't help but giggle at each other. Soon after that, everyone started to join in on the fun, feeling excited to finally stand up to Sunset Shimmer.

[Chorus]

I see it, I see it

And now it's all within my reach...

I see it, I see it now

It's always been inside of me...

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy & Rarity]

Jump up make a sound (Hey!)

Stomp your hooves turned around

Start now, make a change

Gonna come around

Jump up make a sound (Hey!)

Stomp your hooves turn around

Canterlot Wondercolts

Help her win the crown!

Pinkie Pie grabbed a pile of ears and tail and tossed it into the air, this causes everyone to finally start dancing and singing along with them.

[Mane 6 & Kei]

Jump up make a sound (Hey!) (I see it, I see it)

Stomp your hooves turn around (And now it's all within my reach)


Start now, make a change, (Endless possibility...)

Gonna come around

Jump up make a sound (Hey!) (I see it, I see it now)

Stomp your hooves turn around (It's always been inside of me)

Canterlot Wondercolts (And now I feel so free)

Help her win the crown! (Endless possibility!)

Jump up make a sound (Hey!) (Endless possibility!)

Stomp your hooves turn around (Endless possibility...)

Start now, make a change, (Endless possibility!)

Gonna come around (Endless possibility...)

Endless possibility!

Kei snuck out of the crowd and grabbed his backpack with Wylie in it.

"Kei, what are you doing?!" Wylie whispered.

"It's ok, Wylie," Kei began as he looked back to Twilight and her friends and smiled, "I think they can take it from here."

And with that, Kei and Wylie left the cafeteria and with all the commotion, nobody noticed him leave. He walked down the hall and came up to a corner when he and Wylie heard something that took them by surprise, "Take those off!"

He knew that voice all too well, it was Sunset Shimmer. He and Wylie took a peek around the corner and saw it was indeed Sunset and her cronies, Snips and Snails.

"I have something I need you to do." Sunset said with a sinister grin slowly growing upon her face.

She walked down the hall while motioning Snips and Snails to follow her. She headed past the corner that Kei and Wylie were hiding behind, but she didn't notice them, she must be so focused on what she has planned that she wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings. Snips and Snails didn't notice them either because they were too focused on following Sunset.

When they were out of earshot, Wylie spoke up, "Let's follow them, Kei!"

"You took the words right outta my mouth Wylie!" Kei agreed.

They rushed to catch up with Sunset and her lackeys, so they can stop whatever Sunset has planned.

Sunset, Snips and Snails walked into the gym with the decorations that Pinkie and Kei worked so hard on. Sunset grinned as she noticed that the three of them were the only ones there.

"Trash the place." Sunset ordered, "I want no streamer or balloon untouched, got it?"

The two saluted in conformation.

"Good. I'll be right back." Sunset said.

She left the gym as Snips and Snails prepared to carry out their orders. They furrowed their brows and grinned in determination.

"Ready Snails?" Snips asked.

"Duh, ready!" Snails answered.

"Hold it right there!"

Snips and Snails turned to see Kei and Wylie in a battle stance. They readied their battle stances and glared at Sunset's lackeys.

"Duh, what're we gonna do Snips? Kei's here!" Snails asked in panic.

Snips flexed his muscles (if he has) downwards and replied, "We knock him down a peg!"

Snails nodded and put up his fist while Snips did the same and bounced from his left foot to his right foot.

Kei charged at Snips, he punched and knocked Snips into the air, Kei jumped after Snips and grabbed his power pole, hitting Snips again in different direction, which flung him into a nearby table and crushed it. Kei was being careful and not severely hurt this two… much.

Snails was astonished at Kei's skill, so much in fact, that he didn't notice Wylie throwing nuts at his head. When Snails finally began to focus on his own battle, Wylie was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? Where'd he go?" Snails asked.

Then Snails smelled something unusual, "Duh, is someone cooking something? It smells like it's burning."

"Well, duh! IT'S YOU!" Snips yelled in panic.

Snails looked behind him and saw Wylie breathed fire on him.

"AHHHHHHH! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!" Snails screamed.

Wylie was on his back laughing hysterically while Snails was running around the gym with his butt on fire, smashing anything he runs into, chairs, balloons, streamers, and then he finally stopped when he jumped into a punch bowl laying on top of another table.

"Ahhhhh..." Snails sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, Kei was knocking Snips every which way, it's obvious that Snips was fighting a losing battle. Now Kei was punching him in the face left and right with his fist, until he did another uppercut, which threw him into threw him into the disco ball and smashed it. Snips and the disco ball fell to the floor and the disco ball cracked halfway open.

Snips and Snails regrouped together after they recuperated from their respective beatings, but unfortunately they let their guard down as Kei and Wylie with a giant spoon in his paw charged at them again. The battle continued for a while...

Finally, the battle was over, Kei and Wylie were panting heavily and Snips and Snails sprawled out on the floor, unconscious. He could of easily taken care of this two if he had taken off the bracelet but he want against, probably because it would have been a waste of energy.

"Well, at least we stopped them, right Wylie?" Kei asked with a smile.

"Uhh, Kei? Look." Wylie said, pointing at the gym.

Kei looked around and instantly became slack jawed. The gym was in ruins, broken tables, popped and deflated balloons-

CLICK!

-streamers torn up while still hanging and all over the floor, fold-able chairs thrown everywhere-

CLICK!

-and the poor disco ball, smashed open beyond repair-

"Well done, Kei."

Kei and Wylie gasped in surprise and they turned to face… Her.

"Thank you for giving me what I need to take down your friend Twilight Sparkle. It's a bit much, but I'll take what I can get." said Sunset Shimmer with her cell phone in her hands.

Kei growled and said, "Why can't you just leave her alone?! She didn't do ANYTHING to you!"

"Oh, THAT'S where you're wrong, Saiyan," Kei was taken aback by that word, "that miserable excuse for a Princess took away MY rightful place, I'm just doing whatever it takes to get it back." Sunset grinned sinisterly.

"Quit the games!" Kei demanded in a battle stance.

Sunset snapped her fingers and much to Kei and Wylie's surprise, several dark creatures surrounded them on all sides.

"So you're the one who summoned those creatures." Kei said.

"That's right and like my new henchmen?" Sunset asked, "Once I get the crown, your hidden power will be next! Farewell for now... Saiyan."

Sunset laughed manically as she walked slowly down the hall, leaving Kei to fend off the creatures.

"Sunset!" Kei shouted, "Urgh! Outta my way!"

Kei tried to fight the creatures, but they wouldn't budge, much to Kei's frustration. But it soon changed to confusion as the creatures retreated by disappearing.

Kei and Wylie viewed their surroundings, Sunset was nowhere to be found and Snips and Snails disappeared as well. Kei turned back to the disaster he and Wylie created, he really made a mess of the place. Kei lowered his head in depression and let his body slump to the floor.

"Kei?" Wylie asked with concern.

"What am I gonna do Wylie?" Kei began, "I might have just ruined Twilight's chance to getting her crown back. And what does she mean by hidden powers?"

Wylie was trying to figure out what to say to Kei, "What am I gonna say to Twilight? What if she hates me and not to be friends with us anymore? What if her friends hate me? And what if I can't go back home?"

Kei sighed, "What am I gonna do?"

Wylie thought about it and furrowed his brow when found an answer, "We have to tell them the truth."

Kei perked up and shifted his gaze towards Wylie, who continued to speak, "Honesty is always the best policy, Kei. Hopefully they'll understand."

"And what if they don't, Wylie? What if they think I MEANT to destroy the gym?" Kei asked.

"They won't." Wylie said simply.

Kei just stared at Wylie with a conflicted expression as he continued, "Kei, we've been through alot together and I mean alot. We met different kinds of people throughout time. Do you really think something like this would cause them to hate you?"

Kei lowered his head even more only to bring he head up with a grin on his face. Wylie began to laugh joyfully.

"Now that's the Kei I know!" Wylie said.

Kei and Wylie shared a good laugh together, Kei felt it was a longtime ago since he laughed, everything has been focused on stopping Sunset and going home. It felt good not to feel angry all the time for Kei. But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. That's when the school bell rang, signaling that they were screwed.

Kei and Wylie started to panic at that moment, if they were caught in a destroyed gym, game over!

"Let's get out of here before someone sees us!" Wylie exclaimed.

"Right!" Kei agreed.

With that said, Kei and Wylie rushed out of the gym before they were caught red-handed. Their next course of action was to find Twilight and her friends and warn them about the gym... and maybe a huge apology to boot.

Students began to pour out into the hallways as the bell range, each one of them wearing Wondercolt ears and tails.

"Doesn't everyone look just fabulous?" Rarity asked.

"It was a great idea, Rarity." Twilight said.

Applejack looked surprised at the look on Sunset's face as she and her lackeys walked through the halls, causing everyone to have panicked expressions, but Applejack's look soon turned displeased, "Don't know what she's smilin' about. Twilight's the one that's gonna be the Princess of the Fall Formal."

Sunset walked past six girls with Snips giving the "I'm watching you" motion with his two fingers and Snails quietly snickering to himself. Twilight and her friends just stared as Sunset and her cronies approached a door in the hallway; the troublesome trio gazed at them and turned their attention to the door which Sunset knocked on three times.

The door opened to reveal a woman with dark blue and silver streaked hair, lighter blue skin, aqua-blue eyes, wearing a pink, white collared shirt with a moon symbol on the front of the collar. She saw Sunset with a troubled expression as she spoke, "Vice Principal Luna, something terrible has happened!"

The woman known as Vice Principal Luna and Sunset Shimmer found the ruins of the once decorated gym.

"Isn't this just awful?" Sunset asked, feigning distress, "And after Pinkie Pie and Kei worked so hard to make things so perfect." Sunset gave Luna the "puppy dog eyes" look and continued, "Why would Twilight Sparkle do something like this?"

"Why would you think Twilight was responsible for something like this?" Vice Principal Luna asked.

"Because I have proof." Sunset said, pulling out a folder.

Little did the two know that Flash Sentry was spying on them. Flash had a suspicious look on his face and left the area.

Twilight found herself in the near-dark abyss of Vice Principal Luna's office, the only light being the sun barely shining through the half-open blinds.

Twilight was the first to speak, "But, but I don't understand."

Luna set the folder on her desk, allowing it to open on its own, "This is clearly you in the photographs, is it not?"

Twilight looked at photos in the folder; Twilight was kicking a couple of chairs in the first photo, the second photo has Twilight kicking a wooden plank in half, and in the third photo, Twilight had a smile on her face as if she was satisfied.

Twilight, horrified by this impossible evidence, tried to speak, "Yes, but-"

Luna used her hands to slightly, but briefly, open the blinds a bit to peer through them and return her gaze to Twilight, "I think it should be fairly obvious that the school cannot let someone who would do something like THIS, compete for the Fall Formal crown."

Luna walked over to her desk and put her hands down on it, glaring at Twilight while the latter was trying to explain herself, but quickly submitted when she put her hands over her face.

With two quick knocks, Flash Sentry banged in, "Vice Principal Luna," the two turned to face him, "I found these in a trash can in the library." he walked in to give Luna his own evidence, Twilight couldn't believe the scene unfolding before her, "I thought you should see them." Luna looked over the evidence given to her; three cut out photos. She put Flash's evidence over Sunset's, they were a perfect match! "Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Twilight was the one who trashed the gym."

"I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, Flash." Luna said.

She turned to walk to her desk chair, sat down, and spoke to Twilight, "In light of this new evidence, you may of course continue your bid to be crowned the Princess of the Fall Formal."

Twilight smiled broadly and ran to hug Flash, opening the blinds and brightening the room in the process, "Thank you! You have no idea how important this is to me!"

Twilight soon realized what she was doing and let go of Flash while blushing and smiling nervously.

"What was I going to do? Not prove your innocence? Wouldn't be much of a Canterlot Wondercolt, would I?" Flash asked while shuffling closer to her.

"I am afraid enough damage has been done to the gym that we will have to postpone the dance until tomorrow night." Luna said as she was getting out of her chair, "If you will excuse me, I need to let my sister know about this latest development."

With that said, Luna exited her office and left the two alone. After a few short moments, Flash broke the silence, "So, uh, I was wondering... If you aren't already going with somebody, want to go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?"

Flash and Twilight stared into each other's eyes, Twilight still blushing while a blissful smile on her face, put her head on Flash's chest and spoke, "That would be-" but it was then she finally a shocking truth, "Tomorrow night?!" Twilight began freaking out, saying "No!" several times, much to Flash's dismay. she grabbed her backpack and rushed out of Lina's office, saying, "I can't-The portal-It'll be too late!"

Flash walked out of the office cupped his hands over his mouth, and called out, "One 'no' would've been fine!"

Flash just roamed the halls with a defeated look on his face...

Twilight ran as fast as she could. Her friends were all at Rarity's choosing dress for the Fall Formal. The Fall Formal that would be too late to do any good. But even if the girls couldn't help, she had promised to come, and the boutique was a good place to think. Twilight blew open the door and darted into a dressing room, obvious to Fluttershy's and Rarity's worried glances. She set Spike's backpack down on a stool, leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath. Rarity's voice came through the curtain.

"Everything okay in there?"

"Yes!" shouted Twilight, but her frantic whisper told the real story. "Only it's not okay. It's not okay at all. If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't be able to go back to Equestria for another thirty moons. On, what are we gonna do?"

Spike lifted a paw over his heart. "Hmm... We tell them the truth. Let them know what's really at stake if you don't get the crown tonight. They'll help us figure something out." He touched Twilight's leg reassuringly.

"But what if they won't? What if when they find out just how different I really am..."

Twilight looked in the mirror and to her surprise she saw the pony she was looking back at her.

"Twilight, these girls rallied around you because they saw what was in your heart." Spike sat up so Twilight could see him in the mirror. When she looked back to her own reflection, it was human again. "They aren't gonna feel any differently about you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria."

Twilight turned away from the mirror. "I'm glad you followed me here, Spike." She patted his head.

Spike wagged his tail. "Me too," Spike said, but he glanced at the ground. "Unless, of course, we get stuck here for another 30 moons."

Kei shoved the boutique's door open and crouched in the threshold, panting heavily with his hands on his knees. He looked up to see the girls, all but Twilight, holding clothes and gathered around a drawn curtain. "Where's-Twilight-"

Rarity, the only one sitting down, flickered her eyes at the curtain. "She came running in here like there was no tomorrow, just like you. Do you know what could have upset her so?"

Wylie popped his head out of Kei's backpack and he and Kei shared a panicked look. They knew, alright. But before they could say something, Twilight whipped the curtain open. The girls turned to look at her, and Kei sighed in relief at being off the hook.

"You okay?" Applejack asked.

"The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." Twilight said.

"What!?" Pinkie screamed, her eyes wide with shock.

"It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails ruin all of Kei's and Pinkie Pie's decorations."

"WHAT!?" Pinkie screeched. Kei and Wylie cringed.

"But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight." Twilight insisted.

"Wha-?" Applejack put a hand over Pinkie's mouth.

Twilight sighed, "You see..."

Pinkie pulled free and took a deep breath. "You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements and without it they don't work anymore and you need them to help protect your magical world and if you don't get the crown tonight you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for like a really, really long time!" She finished with a huge smile.

Twilight, Spike, Kei, and Wylie looked slack-jawed at Pinkie, the rest of the girls looked at Pinkie as though she'd gone insane.

Rainbow rubbed the back of her head and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason."

"Nope, she's pretty much spot on." Spike said.

"He can talk!?" Rarity gasped.

"Oh, yeah," Twilight grimaced as Spike reared up on his hind legs. "And back where I came from, I'm not even a dog. I'm a ferocious fire-breathing dragon!"

Fluttershy pushed Rarity and Pinkie aside to get at Spike. "This is so amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?"

Spike sauntered over to Rarity and looked up at her longingly. "Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears."

"Gah..."

"Uh, maybe later."

"Why are you girls surprised? Kei and I are from a different world too." Fluttershy picked him up and hugged him, Wylie sighed.

"How did you know all that?" said Twilight.

"Just a hunch." Pinkie shrugged.

Applejack put up her hands. "Wait a minute! Lemme get this straight. You're a pony?"

"You're a princess?" Rarity chimed in, having found her voice.

"You're from another world?" added Fluttershy.

Twilight rubbed the back of her head, blushed, and gulped. "Mm-hmm."

"That...is...awesome!" Rainbow said.

All the girls gathered around Twilight, eagerly asking her about life in Equestria.

"See? Told ya." Spike said.

Twilight just smiled.

"Seriously!? Oh I give up!" Wylie pouted.

"Um, guys?" Kei hated to ruin the moment, but there was a chance the girls would accept his apology like they'd accepted Twilight.

Everyone turned their attention to Kei now, and Wylie jumped out of Fluttershy's arms to stand loyally with Kei.

"Is somethin' the matter, sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

Kei looked at all of them and sighed deeply. "...I messed up." Kei sighed. "We saw Snips and Snails go into the gym after Sunset ordered them to trash it. We tried to stop them, but..."

"But, you didn't?" Twilight guessed.

"No... We did... But in the process we destroyed it." Kei see their eyes widen especially Twilight's.

"I screwed up, okay? I was just trying to help. I'm really sorry." Kei hung his head.

"It was my fault, too!" Wylie said.

"I guess... You guys are mad at me and no longer want to talk to me. *sigh* Well I'm gonna go now, I'll be going back home now." Kei said sadly with Wylie following him.

Kei walk to door with Wylie behind him. When Kei was inches from the door, someone grabbed his wrist. He turned around, a light look of confusion apparent. "Twilight?"

The half-saiyan was completely caught by surprise when Twilight hugged him. "Dummy, now why would we hate you, you just only wanted to help." said Twilight.

Kei was silent for a second and then smiled as he returned the hug, "Thanks Twilight and I'm gonna help you get your crown back."

Twilight broke the hug and smiled. "Thanks Kei."

Rainbow's eyes twitched, she slowly spoke to herself, 'Why does she get a hug from Kei and not me?' She then shouted quietly to herself while making sure her cheeks was not burning, 'Wait what did I just say that!' She placed a hand on her heart and felt it pumping hard, 'Did I fall in love with Kei?'

Kei smiled and said, "Your welcome. Now how about we fix the gym and make everything back to normal."

Everybody agree with a yeah and ran towards the school to fix the mess in the gym.

The girls, Kei, Wylie and Spike arrived at the damage done to the gym. Overturned chairs and tables littered the floor. The decapitated tips of streamers looked forlornly from the ceiling at their bodies on the floor. Somehow the disco ball had survived the fall from its fitting without smashing into a million pieces, but there was no hiding the gash that tore across it like a mangled mouth.

"I simply cannot believe they did all this." Rarity said.

"If I only had some kind of... party cannon that could decorate everything super-fast." Pinkie's voice fell when she realized she didn't.

"I know it seems impossible, but maybe if we all work together?"

"Now that's the kind of can-do spirit Ah'm lookin' for in a Fall Formal Princess!" Applejack stuck her hand into the middle of the group. "Let's do it, y'all!"

"Absolutely!" Rarity joined in.

"Rock on!" shouted Rainbow Dash as she placed her hand on top of Rarity's.

"Definitely!" Kei said with a grin.

"Yes-indeedily!" chirped Pinkie Pie

"Yaaaay," Fluttershy attempted to yell, but it came out very soft.

One by one, Rarity, Rainbow, Kei, Pinkie, and Fluttershy placed their hands on top of Applejack's and looked expectantly at Twilight. She hesitated, but finally put her hand on top of theirs and joined them as they raised their hands in the air.

Twilight and Spike carrying brooms and buckets out of a supply closet. She tossed the broom to her friends. Rarity's hit her in the stomach, but she managed to grab it before it fell. Fluttershy flinched before her broom reached her. It hit her back and clattered to the ground. Rainbow, Kei, Applejack, and Pinkie, however, caught theirs easily, Rainbow twirling hers in the air and Kei backflip and grab the broom.

Kei blew the Streamers, balloons, and shards of glass into nearby garbage bag. Seeing it was full, Applejack tied the top and tossed it to Fluttershy, who tossed it to Rarity, who tossed it to Rainbow, who made a basket into a garbage pail held by Pinkie Pie.

Meanwhile, Twilight grabbed the edge of a table and she was struggled to drag it out the door, Kei tried to help Twilight, but before he help, two athletic-looking boys appeared in the doorway. They each took an end, but stopped and stared as Applejack passed them carrying another table under her arm. Twilight giggled at that, and Kei couldn't help but chuckle himself.

Seeing this, the other girls started trying to attract more help themselves. Pinkie started sweeping with her pink, poofy hair, holding her broom high in the air. No one came to help, and when she stood up her hair was covered in garbage, but still she giggled like she didn't have a care in the world.

Fluttershy and Rarity had more success tossing the streamers into the rafters, skipping and high-fiving as they worked. Two well-dressed girls noticed and decided to help. More students, from every clique in the school, followed, and gradually they started to forget their differences. A mustached boy wearing a headband and a shirt with a globe logo joined the fashionistas in hanging streamers. One of them used some leftover streamer to copy his headband; and they all laughed when another started hanging out streamer necklaces. A petite girl with glasses joined one of the boys who had helped Twilight in carrying an amplifier onstage. They passed a boy with a bowl-shaped haircut trying to hang a new spotlight. He started to greet them, but overbalanced; he would have fallen if a burly boy hadn't steadied his ladder. He gave the smaller boy a thumbs-up. Twilight smiled proudly.

It was done. They'd fixed and decorated the gym in time for the Fall Formal. Even Flash Sentry's band was ready, despite Twilight bumping into Flash during sound check.

"This...looks...sooooo GOOD!" Pinkie said. She was right. It was a job well done, and they had done it together.

The sounds of clapping turned to see it was Principal Celestia applauding their work. Vice Principal Luna stood behind her, holding a locked blue box with a slot in the lid.

"Alright, everyone!" Celestia said. "Fall Formal is back on for this evening."

The students cheered, but quieted when Celestia spread her arms. "So you'd better get out of here and start getting ready. Oh, and don't forget to cast your ballots for Fall Formal Princess on your way out."

The students began to file out the door, scribbling on papers as they walked and slipping them into Luna's box. "You got my vote, Twilight." one said.

"Mine, too!" said another.

"Mine, too!"

Kei smiled how everything is going to be normal again. And soon Kei, the main 6 and all students left the gym to cast their ballots.

Sunset Shimmer cracked open the broom closet door, letting her spy on the students casting their votes. She scowled and rounded on Snips and Snails, sitting next to her on the floor. "You're lucky she was able to pull this off. Next time I ask you to make a mess of things, try to show a little restraint!"

She said, grinning evilly.
