The Power of Friendship

Everypony froze as they watched Cookie fly through the air and screaming for help. If she had wings, she would safely fly herself to safety, her magic could do the same but did she have time?

“Cookie, use your magic!” Silver Star shouted in fear but Cookie shouted saying that she didn't have time to do it and they heard a faint thump to the ground.

“Cookie!” the friends shouted in shock and they kept quiet to hear for a response.

“Hear anything?” Blackberry asked with worry and Golden Heart looked at her with sad eyes as did Hazel. Golden Heart shook her head slowly and tears started to fill her eyes, Blackberry wrapped her forelegs around the alicorn filly as she cried against her chest. “There, there, we all lose friends at some point.”

“No! You don't understand! Cookie was the best friend that would make everypony smile with her laugh and delicious desserts,” Golden Heart yelled as she buried her face and her words were muffled along with her cries. She lifted her head and sniffed loudly. “Now she's gone! Who will make delicious desserts when there's a gala going on in the royal castle? No pony bakes as good as her.”

“We can still do it, we'll learn to do it.” Floss said with a choked voice as she tried to sound confident.

“It won't be the same!”

Lily gave an angry side glance to Mandarin and when he did the same, they both looked like they wanted to have a tussle.

“Why didn't you try and save her?!” Lily yelled, she pressed her hoof against his chest and pushed him a little.

“I didn't know that she was going to get hit by a beam at that point!” Mandarin yelled back and he pushed her as well.

“Is it because you suspect that she isn't your daughter when she clearly is?”

“How can you prove that she's even my daughter?”

“Well, she does baking like you and she can make many more desserts rather than the one that got your cutie mark, just like you. She also has a bit of your short temper.”

“Are you sure that you didn't sleep with another baker who can make lots more desserts? Wait, when do I have a temper?”

“I swear that I didn't!”

Lulu Belle and Blackstone sighed with frustration and stepped between the couple.

“Will you two knock it off?! We have no time for this sort of fight! We have ponies to defeat over here!” Lulu Belle yelled and the couple looked at her with widened and scared eyes.

“Yeah, you don't hear us arguing out in the open.” Blackstone agreed with the same tone of voice as his wife.

“And she's a filly that I have loved for many years!” Topaz shouted, everypony went completely silent and just stared at him. He sighed softly and turned his head to the direction where Cookie had been sent flying. “Yes, guys, I love Cookie, I'm pretty sure you've seen it.”

“How about we talk about this when we defeat these ponies who caused it?!” Gold Star shouted with anger and she turned to the foalnappers.

“Do we have a spell that could fix everything?” Floss asked with worry and pleading eyes.

“I think I know one but it only involves us unicorns. First I'll use one to detect where Cookie is and it will lift her up and set her gently near us, this spell will also heal her.” Golden Heart responded with an reassuring smile.

“This battle isn't over yet!” one of the foalnappers yelled and they shot a beam but it was blocked off by a shield made by Colette and Elena. “You'll never defeat us, you're too weak!”

Golden Heart thought of the spell as hard as she could and finally a beam shot into the clouds, there were some sparks and a beam of light shone down into the forest, lifted Cookie from the ground and into the sky. It took a moment while beams were being shot around but being stopped by other beams, Golden Heart had to make sure that none would hit Cookie or else she would land really hard and get hurt even more. The glow appeared again and it aimed for beside Candy and Floss.

“What... happened?” Cookie asked dizzily and in confusion as she rubbed her head then got up.

“You got shot out of this place and into the forest, but don't worry, we have a spell that will heal you and stop this battle,” Golden Heart said with confidence and she lit up her horn a little. “Alright, Candy, Floss, Gold Star, Silver Star, Cookie, we need to have our horns against each other and you need to light them up so it can work.”

“I don't think I have the strength to do this.” Cookie said with worry, turning to Topaz, he gave her a reassuring look.

“Our friendship will give you strength.” Candy and Floss responded at the same time and they gave her a hug.

“Oh, what a cheesy but ridiculous plan.” one of the foalnappers said with a chuckle and she rolled her eyes.

“We'll see about that.” Golden Heart replied angrily and she and her unicorn friends touched horns, everypony gasped as sparkly blue, gold, violet, fuchsia and light pink magic swirled around them and it levitated them into the air. They opened their eyes and their cutie marks appeared in their eyes. The magic suddenly shot forward like a force field and it hit the foalnappers who got thrown into the air and they screamed and got thrown far into the forest.

The foals got settled to the ground and everypony stomped their hooves on the ground and cheered.

The next day, everything was back to normal, Cookie managed to stand up to her parents for them to stop fighting and Golden Heart managed to start flying after getting some help from Topaz and Elena. Fieramente also confessed that he had feelings for her and she also did for him. Everypony else had to tell things that they were desperate to admit.

“Hey, Cookie!” Topaz called out as he trotted to her as she was baking some chocolate chip cookies in her grandmother, Valentina's kitchen. As soon as she heard him, she dropped the tray onto the floor and the cookies landed on the ground. “Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.”

“It's alright, these cookies weren't made for anypony, I was just bored. If I hadn't dropped them, we could've...” Cookie responded shyly and she gave a giggle. “Had them as I wouldn't want to waste them.”

Topaz walked to sit down at one of the tables at the window while Cookie did the same.

“Cookie, I'm here for a reason, not just for some cookies.”

“Sure, what do you want?”

“Well...I...I really like you. Actually, I love you, ever since we were very young. I just didn't know how to say it and when.” Topaz said with a shaky voice and he looked down with embarrassment.

Cookie stared at him with shocked and widened bright green eyes for a few moments and it looked like she was going to faint. She started stuttering and she jumped at him from her side of the table, knocked him over and gave him pecks on his face and his mouth.

“I had been waiting for you to say that for years!” Cookie squealed then she gave him a big kiss on the mouth. “Now, let's celebrate with cookies and milk!” Topaz got up and laughed as she walked away to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Candy and Floss sat in their bedroom, reading magazines on sweets or anything romantic when Miracle called for them.

“Girls, your dad, Silver Star and Target are here to see you!”

“Daddy?!” Candy and Floss squealed at the same time and they both galloped downstairs as fast as they could but tripped halfway down the stairs and landed on each other. They both got up and turned to their friends.

“I want to speak to Candy.” Target said with a small smile.

“I want to speak to Floss.” Silver Star responded just like Target had done.

“Girls, I'm going to speak to your mum about something important.” their dad said and he walked into the living room.

“Candy Cane, let me speak to you in your room. Silver Star, why don't you talk to Floss down here, we'll be right back?” Target responded and the friends nodded and went to their locations. Candy and Target got to her bedroom, he closed the door softly. “To show you what I am trying to tell you, I am going to read out a poem that I memorised in my head.” He took a deep breath and cleared her throat and said:

“Candy, the colours of your mane
Remind me of a candy cane
If you had wings, you would fly like a dove
You're the only filly that I'll ever love.”

Candy stood there and she looked like she was going to cry, she wiped a tear from one of her eyes with her hoof.

“That was beautiful, Target, is that a hobby of yours?” Candy said with a tearful voice and she wrapped her forelegs around his neck.

“It's a hobby that I started some time ago. It's true what I read there.”

“And I love you too!”

Downstairs, Silver Star and Floss sat down, staring at each other awkwardly and trying to get what they wanted to say, out of their mouths.

“I have something to confess,” the two friends said at the same time then they giggled. “I love you!”

“You love me? Won't the others find it weird?” Silver Star responded with surprise.

“Yes, I do, don't worry, the others will understand.” Floss replied with a small smile.

“You want to tell the others now?”

“How about we wait for Candy and Target, then we can do so?”
