I wake up. I feel grass underneath me. I look at my arm and my eye widens. I have a black hoof with holes in it. My right legs are changeling hooves and my left legs are metal claws. My wings are bug-like wings. My tail is like Chrysalis' but red and black striped. I have a black body with blue armour. I have one horn which is the same as Chrysalis'. My neck and half my head are made of metal. The left side of my head is black. My eye in the metal half looks like a blue circle, while the one in the other half looks like Chrysalis' but red. I have a red and black striped mane. I've been turned into a changeling. Why? Maybe because humans don't exist in Equestria. Yeah, that's it. I look around and see I'm in front of the ruined castle and there is a bright light in one of the rooms. I start to think. How do I use magic? I hear a voice in my head say 'Think of something you wan't to happen and it should happen.' I close my eyes and imagine myself in the room with Nightmare Moon. I open my eyes to be in the room with Nightmare Moon and the Mane Six. They're lying on the floor. The Elements didn't work? I see Nightmare Moon laughing so hard she can't see me. I use my magic to conjure a Ray Gun.

"Hey, Nightmare Moon!" She stops laughing and looks at me. "Say Goodnight!" I shoot my ray gun at her. She falls to the ground and struggles to get up. I go over to the Mane Six and help them up. I say "Use the Elements." Twilight nods and they start using the Elements. I wait and a necklace appears on me as well. It has a green flame on it. The Element of Chaos. We all glow and start levitating. A rainbow shoots out of us and hits Nightmare Moon. There is a big flash and we all hit the floor.

I hear Rainbow Dash groan and exclaim "My head!" I open my eyes and sit up.

I hear Applejack ask "Everypony okay?" I look around and see everypony standing up.

Rarity says "Oh, thank goodness!"

Fluttershy says "Why, Rarity, it's so lovely."

Rarity says "I know! I'll never part with it again!"

Fluttershy corrects her "No, your necklace. It looks just like your Cutie Mark."

Rarity notices and says "Oh, so does yours!" Fluttershy gasps happily.

Pinkie hops over to Applejack while exclaiming "Look at mine, look at mine!"

Rainbow exclaims "Aw yeah!"

Applejack says to Twilight "Gee, Twilight. I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey. But I reckon we really do represent the Elements of Friendship."

Celestia's voice says "Indeed you do." The sun rises and Celestia appears at the window. Everypony but Twilight bows.

Twilight shouts "Princess Celestia!" Twilight runs to Celestia and they nuzzle each other.

Celestia says "Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it."

Twilight says "But... you told me it was an old pony tale."

Celestia replies Twilight's statement with "I told you that you needed to make some friends - nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her. But you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well." We all look at Luna and Celestia walks over to her. She says "Princess Luna." Luna wakes up and gasps. Celestia continues with "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister."

Everypony exclaims "Sister?" Everypony leans forwards but Pinkie goes too far and falls with a "Whoa!" Luna jumps up to her and nuzzles her.

"I missed you so much, big sister."

Celestia says "I missed you too." They're both in tears.

Pinkie asks "Hey! You know what this calls for?" I teleport everypony to Ponyville. "A party!" We start the party. Twilight looks a bit down down so I transform into a lizard and teleported onto her head.

I looked into her eyes and ask "What's wrong? Don't wanna go back to Canterlot because you don't wanna leave your friends?" She nods. I whisper "Celestia's coming. Act natural." I teleport to the rest. I transform into a balloon.

Celestia asks "Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?"

Twilight answers her question with "That's just it. Just when I learn how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them."

Celestia says "Spike, take a note, please." Spike takes out a parchment and quill and starts to write. "I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville." The Mane Six surround her shouting congratulations. I smile.

Twilight exclaims "Oh, thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before!" We all cheer. I transform into my normal form and enjoy the party. After the party I ask Celestia if I could get a house. Of course she already got me one and showed me to it. It was across the road from Sugarcube Corner. I went into my house and up the stairs. I slipped into my bed and went to sleep.
