The girls woke up to their homes in Canterlot. They all woke up normally. They did their morning routine, and yet, they felt as if they were missing something, or someone. They all decided to talk in a group voice chat.

"Girls?"

"Yeah?"

"Something isn't right. Where's Rarity?"

"I thought she was going on a out of country business trip. She's really lucky..."

"Huh... no, I just feel like we're missing someone else. Like someone that's..."

"Now that 'ya mention it. 'Ah do feel that way too. 'Ah just can't point it out..."

"Same here..."

The girls all sat in silence confused as to what was missing from their lives, apart from Rarity...

"Who else would be missing..."

Twilight began to brainstorm, "Come on think... think...," It was then she remembered this exact conversation.

"Do you trust me, Twilight?"

"Huh? Why is that brought up?"

"Well, I've met Princess Twilight before you, and she seemed to deem me a friend the instant she met me. Now, with you, I can see that you're kind of... suspicious of me. Yes, you are very inconspicuous with your actions of not trusting me, but at times, I can read your body language like a book. My real question to you Twilight, is if you trust me or not?"

Twilight stood silent as Cobalt didn't face her. She then answered, "I just find it weird that you decided to randomly appear after 6 years of zero communication with our friends. I mean, I could understand why, but not even a visit to them, or even an attempt to do so. That's why I'm sort of... suspicious of your actions."

Cobalt chuckled as he turned to her, "I couldn't visit because... of something that happened between the Headmistress's brother, and myself. I guess for so long, I was... a different person because of it. I didn't really talk to anyone, and that included my friends. However...," Cobalt paused and sighed, "I felt the guilt of not contacting our friends, and... that's when I spent 2 years attempting to get you girls into Starlight. I had to jump many hurdles, but I managed to get you girls here."

Twilight continued to listen as Cobalt spoke, "I never intended to lose contact with the girls, but as a teacher of Starlight, my schedule is always filled with either with schooling, or being a member of the Imperial Army. I'm sorry for giving you some type of weird suspicious vibe. I never intended to do so."

Twilight shook her head and smiled, "No, I'm sorry for feeling that way. I should of known how close you were to them, and now seeing what you have to go through here in the mystic realm, I can understand."

"Thank you Twilight. I'm glad you understand."

"I mean, it's not that bad. I've learned about so much about being a mystic, and I've learned so many useful powers to go with mine."

"Yeah, you're welcome for that. I'm not trying to spoil you girls, but you do live under my house."

"Brain Blast!"

"Huh?"

"I remember now. Do you girls remember anyone of the name, Shining Cobalt?"

It was silent for a second before, "I remember!"

"Girls, should we meet up, and talk about this?" They all agreed, and met up at Pinkie's house.

"Man, Brisk said anyone that has met Cobalt will lose their memory of him. But friends never forget each other," Sunset looked at her friends who nodded in agreement.

"And Rarity is gonna get married to that prick too. When I see that fucker, I'm gonna teach him a lesson he'll never forget."

"We have to find Cobalt first. Without him, we won't know what to do."

"Cobalt won't be of any use to us without his powers. We need to find his sister. Maybe she can help us know of his whereabouts."

"Do you think she still lives in the same house."

They all thought it over and nodded. They all hopped into their cars before driving off to Emerald's house. They soon saw it over the hill, and were eager to know if Emerald was still there.

Once they arrived at the house, they all anxiously waited in front of the door. Twilight pressed the doorbell, and soon enough, Emerald was the one that opened up, "Hey girls, what's up?"

"You still remember us?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I? You girls really changed Cobalt's life."

"But have you heard?"

"Heard what?"

"We'll explain. May we come in?"

"Sure thing," Emerald let them inside, and they explained everything that's lead up to them being back I'm Canterlot, "I see, so Cobalt made a deal with Brisk and ended up losing his powers, along with Rarity?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, I haven't seen Cobalt. I thought all of you were still in the mystic realm. Now that I know this, we have to find him. If he had lost his powers and memory, then he'll be here in this realm. However, it'll be too late to find him just anywhere. He could be here in Canterlot, but he might not be. Our best bet is to search the city, put up fliers, ask around. No matter what, we have to find him."

And they did just that. They searched every crevasse for Cobalt. They asked whoever they could to find out his whereabouts, but no avail, they found nothing.

They arrived back to Emerald's house with their heads held low, "I'm guessing the search didn't go so well."

"Nobody remembers Cobalt. Not even Celestia and Luna. This is bad, if we don't find him soon, Rarity will be subjugated to something horrible."

"I think it's my turn to search around. You girls can rest here. I ordered some pizza about 10 minutes ago. It should be here soon. The money for it is on the counter top. You girls should also help Lapis with her homework. Lapis, don't give them trouble, alright?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Alright, I'm off girls. Be safe," Emerald left with a stack of fliers, leaving them alone to wonder where and what Cobalt is doing.

"Girls, I'm getting worried. What if we never find Cobalt, and Rarity is stuck in the mystic realm?"

"Don't think like that..."

"It's all I can think about. Man... I miss them."

Sunset then remembered back to when they were out earlier, "Actually, I think I might have seem Cobalt while we were out."

"You did?"

"Well, I think I did..."

-4 hours earlier-

I was in this neighborhood. I was rushing to meet up with you girls.

"I still haven't found him. Where could he be?!"

I hadn't realized I was in the path of a pizza delivery guy. I ran face first into him, and I met face to face with him...

"Ow!"

"Whoa!"

Sunset looked at the guy, and was astonished at his looks.

He had the same facial features as him and he acted just as sympathetic as Cobalt.

"Sorry for running into you. I wasn't looking where I was going, " The guy said apologetically.

"No, it was my fault. Sorry for running into you. I'll pay for the pizzas."

"No, that's fine. I make extra just in case something like this happens. Don't worry about paying for it. I'll take it out of my paycheck."

No one in there right mind would do something like that. There's only a few I know that would do that, and Cobalt is one of them.

The only difference to his looks... was his hair.

-Present Time-

"What's wrong with his hair?"

"It was red. Cobalt's hair is blue. Not only that, it wasn't long or in a ponytail like usual. It was short, and spiked up to one side of his head."

"Huh..., that's weird...," It then clicked in Twilight's head, "Don't you remember to one of the lessons? Once a mystic loses their power, they lose their natural hair color, and it changes to that of the opposite color of their natural one. So Sunset... that was Cobalt!"

"Eh?!"

The doorbell then rung, and Sunset went to answer it. She was shocked to see who it was, "Delivery for Ms... oh, it's you. Pleasure to meet you again."

"Cobalt!" They all yelled.

Cobalt looked down at his name tag and laughed, "Oh yeah, my name is Shining cobalt, but I prefer-." They all surrounded him in a group hug, much to the now brainwashed Cobalt's surprise.

Why are these... cute girls... hugging me...
