Twilight answered, "We need to try again. Obviously, Starlight and I did something wrong and we need to fix it."

Rainbow Dash rose off the ground, "Alright. I'll see you later then, Twilight."

"Goodbye, Rainbow. Good luck."

"You too," Rainbow Dash flew to the ponies below to rally them once again.

Twilight picked up the solar charm, "Did you do the spell right last time?"

Starlight raised an eyebrow, "Really . . ."

"Heheh, of course you did it right," Twilight was slightly ashamed for assuming such a thing. "Then I suppose we have to try again. This time I will keep the amulet stable and conduct the spell as well."

"It's worth a shot," Starlight concurred.

Twilight took the amulet to stabilize it. "One," she started. "Two," Starlight continued. "Three!" they said simultaneously while casting the shield spell at the solar amulet.

They both stood there, shooting at the amulet as the air around them grew hotter by the second. It was hard to breathe. If they had to guess, it would be around 200 degrees by now. Even through sweating out more water than a running faucet, they continued the spell with all their strength. They knew time was running out.

The spell was done and the amulet was glowing once again. As expected, it shot out a ray of light toward the sun.

The light from the amulet was doing its best, but the sun was too big for it now. The shield could not expand around it fast enough; it was being pushed back, breaking.

Starlight tapped Twilight, "Uhm . . . Twilight."

Twilight turned her head to see Starlight pointing at something in the distance with a look of horror and her mouth agape. All the clouds the citizens of Ponyville moved for shade were completely gone, evaporated. Not only that, but even farther away on the horizon, Cloudsdale was falling to the ground in pieces.

Twilight forced herself to speak, emotions strangling her throat. "C—Cloudsdale . . . All the clouds in Equestria are gone . . . and flying in this heat is not safe at all. Did we fa—" Starlight embraced Twilight to make her feel better . . . or was it a final goodbye?

The steamy air of dead clouds combined with the overbearing fireball produced countless rainbows. Who knew the heat death of Equestria would produce such melancholic beauty?

"No! It isn't over yet!" Twilight pushed past Starlight.

"Help me do the spell again!" Twilight desperately demanded.

Starlight admitted with a sinking heart, "Twilight . . . it's over."

Behind them, the amulet deactivated and fell to crash against the floor, just as the sun crashed into the planet's atmosphere.
