Everypony had gathered in the great hall, and Button Mash was waiting for the element of laughter to be given to him.

Meanwhile in the Everfree Forest, Chrysalis was furious that she was not able to act against the group, Discord was still charging his power, and Sombra's aide had been sent to infiltrate his enemies.

The Unicorn Mare had just arrived at the castle, and she knew that she had to facilitate a code-name, but she was unable to figure out a name that would match her cutie mark. Then it hit her, the name she would use was Fair Mind, she knew she would need to explain her mark, so she decided that it meant she was able to help others by making decisions through fair minded thought.

She found this exciting since she never actually had a name to begin with, but she knew that her real name would be the name she was given by the orphanage Psychic Night.

Psychic knew she had nothing to worry about since she was never seen except by those who entered Sombra's office.

Psychic Night approached the castle, as she did she saw a Pegasus flying right at her and she dodged, this was when the real fun began.


"Alright who are you and what are you doing here?" Scootaloo asked, ready to start charging.

"My name is Fair Mind, I was running from a Changeling and then I ended up here, please let me in." Psychic said, hoping the Pegasus would fall for the trick, even if she didn't Psychic could make it so.

"I suppose I'll take you inside, but you won't be going anywhere but into one of the rooms that aren't being used by me or my friends." Scootaloo said with a cautious stare.

"Actually I was wondering if I could meet with whoever is in charge, that way I can at least make a first impression." Psychic said with a smile that could fool anypony.

"Well then you're gonna have to wait, they're doing something that we need to keep secret." This made Psychic look down in disappointment.

"Although, I suppose I could get one of our leaders to meet you, at least that way they know you're here." Scootaloo said causing a genuine smile from Psychic.

"Oh I think you'll do more than that you pathetic fool." Psychic said with a malicious grin.

With a quick glow of her horn, Psychic had teleported the two of them to a hill far from the castle, making easier for Psychic to take control of Scootaloo.

"Hold still now, Psychic Mind will take perfect care of you, and then you will let me see Flurry Heart." With that, Psychics horn started to glow again and Scootaloo's eyes were drained of color momentarily, after a moment the color returned and Scootaloo got up and smiled at Psychic. Then after being teleported back, she led Psychic to one of the guest quarters and left to find Flurry Heart.


Meanwhile, Button Mash had put the necklace on, and after falling, he found himself in front of a bakery.

"It's about time, I mean when I agreed to this I didn't think it would be so lonely but now I can talk to you and you'll be able to talk to me, isn't this exciting." The Pink Earth Pony said rapidly without taking a breath.

"Uh yeah, but aren't you gonna tell me anything useful, like what the grown-ups are talking about, releasing the princesses?" Button Mash asked, slightly nervous.

"Oh, I can't tell you anything, that was for Starlight to know." Pinkie Pie replied.

"Oh well thanks Pinkie Pie." With that, Button Mash woke up in a bed and he could hear voices outside his door.


"So this Fair Mind, is she someone you remember from before the station?" Flurry Heart asked.

"No." Was all Scootaloo said in reply.

"I set her up in this room." Scootaloo said before knocking on the door.

"Come in." Came the reply.

"Fair, this is Flurry Heart, she is the one who makes the decisions around here." Scootaloo explained.

"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." Psychic said while extending a hand.

"The pleasure is mine, I hope you haven't been uncomfortable during your time here." Flurry Heart said as she copied Psychic and shook her hand.

"Well I was actually wondering why I'm not allowed to walk around." Psychic said with a false curiosity.

"Because we aren't sure if you are an agent of our enemies yet, if you can prove that you have no connection to them then you can roam freely, but until then I will have an associate escort you." This made Psychic frown, but then she heard footsteps and was worried.

"Sunset, good timing, Scootaloo found her outside during her patrol, her name is Fair Mind, I was hoping you could escort her around, just until we have made sure she's not connected to 'them', okay." Flurry Heart requested.

"Sure, Starlight is finished if you wanna get started." Psychic was intrigued but knew she wouldn't get very far if she asked so she simply decided to go for a classic.

"Can I get something to eat, I haven't really had anything to eat recently?" Psychic asked, probably the first true thing she had said since meeting Scootaloo.

"Sure, I'll take you to the kitchen to get some food." Sunset said with a cautious grin.

The only problem Psychic had encountered here was the fact that Sunset had teleported her.

"Hmm, got any curry?" Psychic asked, mainly because she wanted some of the famous zebra curry.

"I wish, I might be able to get some." Sunset offered.

"Sure, and i'd be glad to accompany you." Psychic said, her stomach rumbling.

"I'll need to talk to Flurry Heart first just wait here." Sunset said.


Meanwhile in the great hall Flurry Heart had gathered the new bearers of the Elements of Harmony in front of the mirror portal, just before she charged up her horn to produce a spell, Sunset came in and asked to see her.

"What is it, I was just about to start?" Flurry Heart asked, clearly annoyed.

"Fair Mind asked to accompany me to get some curry, so I told her I would check with you." Sunset said.

"Keep an eye on her, the last thing I need is for you to go missing." Flurry Heart said.

Sunset teleported back to the kitchen, and gave Psychic the verdict, and much to her own surprise, she was having a mini celebration.

The two mares teleported to the station and went to Zecora's Curry Hut.

"Ah, Councillor Sunset Shimmer, would care for a curry that has just been set to simmer." The elderly zebra asked in rhyme.

"Actually Zecora, I was wondering if I could get thirteen to go." Sunset asked.

"Throwing a get-together between friends or just a relationship to recommence?" Zecora asked.

"Just a get together." Sunset replied.

"Very well." With that Zecora had prepared thirteen take-away boxes full of curry.

Not long after recieving them the two had teleported back after paying Zecora, they set a table so that everypony would be able to eat.

Just then there was a slight rumbling sound and Sunset knew what had happened, her friends and former teacher were free.

Psychic had gathered all the information she needed from Sunsets mind, and she decided that she would begin her plan.


Meanwhile, back in the great hall, several Unicorns, Earth Ponies, Pegusi, and Alicorns had appeared out of nowhere and were slowly getting up.

Not long after, the purple Alicorn was the first to wake up, and boy was she angry, so angry that she had to teleport to a cave, blast it until there was nothing left and then return to the castle.

"What were you thinking, releasing us this early, surely those whom we defeated haven't got their memories back already." Twilight said furiously.

"that is where you're wrong Princess." Everypony looked towards the door to see Psychic, flaring her true colors.

"Sombra sends his regards, and have fun sorting out your friends and family back in the medical wing." With a laugh so deep that even Button Mash had feel afraid, Psychic Night teleported away.

This was her revenge against many who walked past her and ignored her, those who merely lied and cheated their way into power, those who would oppose the stallion she owed everything to.


Meanwhile back at his office, Sombra was surprised to see his aide back so soon, in fact he was tempted to scold her for such an early return, but instead, he decided to treat her as one of his true allies.

"Report." Sombra ordered.

"My task is done, they have been turned against each other, and my way of doing it will be hard to undo, rest assured that I have brought the worst side of the sisters out, they should insure our victory." Psychic said with a triumphant smile.

"Very well, I should hope that you will remain loyal to me throughout this ordeal." Sombra said condescendingly.

"Of course, I owe you my life, that alone is enough reason for me to stick by your side." Psychic said in an offended manner.

"Very good, I have another task for you, and it is more dangerous than what you have already been through." Sombra said hoping she would refuse.

"I will do whatever it takes to rid you of your enemies." Psychic said confidently.

"Very well, I need you to find a dragon, this one is small and has been known to assist the purple Alicorn you saw." Sombra said.

"I will do this, and I will not fail you." Hearing this, Sombra simply hid his disappointment.
