Thorax had a talk with the sultan after Sombra's arrest.

"Prince Thori, I must apologize." Said the sultan.

"Well, your Highness, there's something I'd like to explain." Thorax said slowly.

"Your honor and integrity will never again be questioned here in Canterlot."

"I... well..."

"A more noble and sincere young stallion has never graced the chambers of this place."

"Well, uh..." Said Thorax, then the genie tapped on his back.

"I..."

"I would be honored to call you my son." Said the sultan.

"Ooh!" Said the genie.

"If that were something anypony wanted." Said the sultan looking at his daughter, and she smiled happily.

Back in Thorax's room

"So, you got the mare." Said the genie floating around "I had my doubts after your whole jam debacle. But you pulled yourself back together a little bit.

"I did, didn't I?" Thorax asked looking at him "I think I finally got the hang of being a Prince." He said.

"Well, that's not exactly what I meant."

"You were right! Ponies see what they wanna see. Thorax is gone. I'm Prince Thori now."

"Oh, so you got it all figured out now, huh, kid?"

"And, you know, I was thinking about my last wish, and I just can't do this without you." Thorax chuckled "I know I told you I'd use it to set you free, but I can't let everything we worked for fall apart."

"So, you just never tell her the truth? Your just gonna keep lying?" The genie asked with a sad look.

"It's not a lie. Ponies can change." Thorax told him.

"They can change alright." Said the genie looking at the carpet and Abu.

"And that's a bad thing?" Thorax asked. "Everything is better now. Nopony got hurt. You'd rather me be back on the streets stealing to survive?" He asked again.

"I thought you'd be happy for me." Said Thorax feeling a bit disappointed. "But all you cared about was that I use my last wish to set you free." He finished.

"Well, kid, I don't care nothin' about that last wish." Said the genie looking at him. "This is about you, what's happening to you. You'd rather lie to somepony you love, than give all of this up." He told him.

"You don't get it, genie." Said Thorax walking up to him "Ponies like me don't get anything except by pretending." He finished.

"I think maybe you don't get it." Said the genie as he touched his chest "The more you gain by pretending, the less you're actually gonna have. In 10000 years, I have never once, ever called the master a friend." He told him.

Thorax looked on the ground slowly.

"I broke the rules for you, I saved your life. And for what? You are breaking my heart here, kid." Said the genie, then he returned inside his lamp.

"Genie, no! Come on!" Said Thorax grabbing the lamp, and he sighed in annoyance.

The carpet and Abu looked at each other for a while then back at Thorax.

Thorax shook his head and placed the lamp back in his satchel. Then he left the castle with Abu.

Unknown to them, Garble saw the lamp in Thorax's satchel, he then flew back to Sombra's library.

"Lamp. Lamp. Master. Lamp."

Thorax was walking in town and back to his home.

"Who does he think he is? He's supposed to serve me." Thorax said to himself "I'm the same as I always was on the inside. Right, Abu?" Thorax asked him.

But then a stallion pushed a yellow curtain in front of Thorax which made him close his eyes. Then the stallion grabbed the lamp in his satchel and left.

"Hey!" Thorax said looking at the stallion. Then he turned back around and walked back into his home.

In an alleyway

Sombra took off his hood, and pulled out the lamp he stole from Thorax. He rubbed the lamp and the genie came out of it. And he hit an archway.

"Ow! Are you kidding?" The genie complained rubbing his head. "Now, why would you rub the thing under the..." The genie stopped his sentence when he saw a dark metal stallion.

Then Sombra let out an evil laughter.

In Thorax's home

Thorax was sitting on his homes balcony, remembering what the genie said to him.

Thorax: Riffraff. Street rat. Would they think that. If they look much closer? Still, I can't play a Prince here. No, siree. Gotta tell the truth I can't pretend. Even if it means this dream will end. Even if she walks away. From me.

Then Thorax looked at the castle.
