When the girls all reach the gym, they can see what a mess that one person can make. From the looks of it, it looks like the place has been hit by a hurricane or something. Twilight and the others are very shocked to see the condition of the gym. It's no wonder why the dance will be postponed if no one cleans it up. However, Twilight and the others know the gym need to be finished.

"I just can't believe they did all this!" Rarity says with a shock.

Then Pinkie says, "If only I have some kind of party canon that we can get the gym done really fast,"

"You do have one, you know," Sun replarks.

"It's broken at the moment," Pinkie says with disappointment.

"Looks like we're on our own with this," Rainbow replies.

"Looks like it" Applejack says.

The Scootaloo complains. "It will take forever to clean up."

However, Twilight calmly says, "Maybe, but if we all work together we can get the work done."

"She's right, and remember, there's a lot at stake if we don't get the dance on by tonight," Sun adds with a smile.

Applejack says, "That's something we all love to see in a Fall Formal princess."

"Let's do this!" Applejack announces.

"I'm in," Apple Bloom says.

"Alright!" Rainbow Dash says.

"I'm in," Scootaloo replies.

"Absolutely!" Rarity says.

"Clean up time!" Sweetie Belle cheers.

"Yippie!" Pinkie cheers happily.

"Yay!" Fluttershy cheers in a quiet tone.

"Let's rock!" Screwball loudly says.

"Let's do this!" Sun announces.

After agreeing to the idea, Twilight, Sun and the others decide to get started on cleaning up the school gym. Twilight can see that with her new friends help, she is sure the school dance will go on and the crow will be return to her.

Twilight Sparkle:

It's time for us to come together

It's the only way that things will get better

It's time for us to take a stand

So come on and lend a helping hand

Twilight and Sun grabs the supplies from the closet of the gym and pass it to each of their friends and sisters. With that some of the girls start sweeping while the others start to rearrange some of the broken items.

All sings:

Fix it up

Yeah, it's all right

We'll get it ready by tonight

Mix it up

Yeah, help a friend

We'll come together in the end

As they clean up the gym, some of the students see what the girls are doing and decide to help. Even Pinkie's sisters, Applejack's older brother, and Fluttershy's brother decide to help as well.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash:

It's time to show that we've got school spirit

Raise your voice and let everyone hear it

They then start to take some of the tables out to the gym and going to fix them. For some reason,

Rarity and Applejack:

It's time to show that we're strong

So come on, everybody, sing along

Applejack is able to carry a table on her own, while two boys have to carry one together. Pinke also uses her hair to clean up the floor. Rarity, Fluttershy, Screwball, and Sweetie Bell start putting the streamers on the ceiling. Some of the fashionista students decide to help.

All:

(Look...)

Look how we've all come together

(Things...)

Things are only just starting to get better

(Look...)

Look how we've all come together

(Things...)

Things are only gonna get better, better, better, better!

(We... will...)

Fix it up, yeah, it's all right

(Come... tonight, tonight...)

We'll get it ready by tonight

(We... will...)

Mix it up, yeah, help a friend

(Come... together, together...)

We'll come together in the end

Soon, more students, start to join in to help clean up the gym. Flash and his friends set up their instruments with Microchips help with the sound system. Flash and Twilight bumps into each other again and blushes because of their affection towards each other. They then continue to clean up the gym for the dance.

(We... will...)

Fix it up, yeah, it's all right

(Come... tonight, tonight...)

We'll get it ready by tonight

(We... will...)

Mix it up, yeah, help a friend

(Come... together, together...)

We'll come together, together now!

Fro the rest of the time, lots of students pitch in to help fixed up the gym so it will be ready for tonight. After the whole clean up, the Fall Formal Dance has been cleaned up and repared. There are even some improvements to it. Twilight, Sun, and their friends along with their siblings can see that the gym looks great now, and the dance might be able to go on tonight as plan.

Sun says with a smile, "The gym looks great"

"I know. The dance is going to be amazing!" Pinkie screams with excitement.

Just then, everyone in the gym hear clapping and look to see Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. They figure they must be here for something important.

After getting everyone's attention, Principal Celestia happily announces, "Alright everybody, fall formal is back on for this evening."

Everyone start to cheer with excitement after hearing the announcement. The dance is going to happen tonight, and they are very happy about it. Twilight and the others are also gad the dance will go on tonight, and Twilight's crown will be return to her in no time.

"So you better get out of here and start getting ready," Principal Celesta says.

Then Vice Principal Luna says, "And don't forget to cast your vote for fall formal princess on your way out."

With that, the students start to leave the gym so they can get themselves ready for the dance tonight. As they leave, they start to cast their vote to see which one will be Fall Formal Princess for tonight.

"You got my vote Twilight," Flash says, which makes Twilight blush.

"You have mine Sun," Maud replies.

Sun and Twilight feels glad that the students are going to vote for one of them. Even their friends cast their vote before leaving the gym. Even though only one of them will win, Twilight and Sun glad they both have good competition and have made good friends in the process.

However, in the gym equipment closet, Falling Star is peaking outside to see Sun, Twilight, and all of their friends are leaving the gym casting their votes for the dance. She is not happy because of the little fight and her plan exposed, she has been disqualified from the ballot.

"They're lucky they were able to pull this off. Next time I want to make a mess of those two, I should have showed a bit more restraint. Those two are going to pay for this," Falling Star angrily says.

She then says with an evil smile, "I know this dance is going to go on just as much as they are."

After that, Falling Star decide to devise another plan to steal the crown and use the power for her very own. She knows that tonight is when her plan is going to be put into action. As soon as either Sun or Twilight wins the crown tonight at the dance.

After the cleanup of the gym, Twilight, Sun, and the others are back at the boutique so they can get ready for the school dance. At first, Sun wanted to meet Princess Celestia after cleaning the gym, but think it will be best to wait until the dance s she can meet her. She also wants to get this crown situation out of the way so they don't have to worry about this.

"I still can't believe we manage to pull this off," Fluttershy replies.

"I can, we're awesome!" Rainbow Dash says with excitement.

"I know. I still can't believe that everyone in the school decide to pitch in to help make sure the school dance is able to go on," Applejack says with excitement.

Then Rarity asks, "But Sun, darling, I thought you wanted to go see this Princess Celestia after cleaning up the gym."

"I was… at first. I… feel like I should wait until the dance. Also… I want to get this situation with the crown out of the day before I can meet her. That way I can see her and make sure Twilight and the crown get back safely," Sun calmly explains.

"Sounds like a good idea to me," Scootaloo replies.

"I wish we can see you reunited with the princess from another world," Sweetie Belle says with a smile.

"You know, Twilight. I've been meaning to ask you," Rainbow says.

"What's that?" Twilight asks.

Then Rainbow asks, "How come you didn't want to tell us about all this, the crown, the book, Sun's past, and your origins? Why didn't you tell us about sooner?"

Twilight should have know this question will be coming. Then again, she knows it might be coming sooner or later. She knows they have the right to tell her. Since they know about her real form and home world, she figures they have the right to know about the reason why she isn't saying anything.

However, Sun comes into the conversation and says, "I think I know why."

"Why?" Rainbow asks.

"Well, imagine if one of you saying that we're from a world that we walk on two legs, have hands, eat meat, and wear clothes all the time. I think Twilight might get the impression that we'll think she's crazy if she told us about her being a magical pony princess," Sun explains.

"Really!" Pinkie asks.

"That's pretty much the reason," spike says.

"But still, it's cool to hear that Sun is a pony as well," Rainbow says with excitement.

"Yeah. what pony was she?" Pinkie asks.

"She's supposed to be a unicorn in Equestria. I used to be one as well before I became an alicorn princess," Twilight answers.

"Wait a minute, you used to be a unicorn and then you were turned into an alicorn and named princess, just like that," Applejack says looking confused.

"It took a lot of studying and more for me to become a princess," Twilight says.
"I still think it's cool," Sun replies.

As they talk about the excitement of Equestria, Sun is also getting interested in the world she used to live as well. However, Screwball is starting to feel sad and worried about something in her mind. Su can see that her sister is feeling sad about something and decide to see why her sister's feeling blue.

Sun comes up to her sister and asks, "Screwball is something the matter?"

Screwball sadly says, "Are you planning on heading back there after the dance?"

Twilight and the others are shocked to hear what Screwball is figure Screwball has the impression that Sun might move back to Equestria with Twilight after winning the crown. As they start to feel concern, the others, excluding Twilight and Spike are starting to worried that Sun might be leaving them to head back to the world she comes from.

Sun hugs her sister and says, "Never. I'm not going to be leaving at all. Even if I do remember my old home and family. I love living here with you, dad, and all of our friends. You are are very important to me and I don't want to leave you guys for anything."

"So you're want to stay with us?" Fluttershy asks.

"Are you really going to stay with us," Screwball asks while shedding tears.

"Yes. I'm staying," Sun answers with a smile.

The girls and their siblings are happy that Sun decide to stay at Canterlot City with them. Even though, Sun will be meeting them at the night of the dance, she is mostly going to visit them and then come back home. Right now, they decide to focus on the school dance.

"Now that situation is settled, now we can really get ready for the Fall Formal. Our two candidates need to stand out. We all need to look… fabulous!" Rarity says with excitement.

All sings:

This is our big night

We're getting ready

And we're doing it up right

This is our big night

Friendship survived,

Now we'll start it out right

The time's right, gonna make it last 'cause it's the first night

That we're ever gonna start to just have fun together

We're so glad, so happy we could never be mad

Did it right now, this is our big night now

Six friends on the way up now

Six friends here to show you how

This is our big night

We're getting ready

And we're doing it up right

This is our big night

We made it happen

Now let's party all night

This is our big night

This is our big night

This is our big night

This is our big night

During the time, the girls look for some nice dresses and accessories to put on for the dance. Until late in the evening, the girls have put on their make up, accessories, and dresses for the night. They are all ready for the school dance for tonight and can't wait to get there to have some fun for the night.
