" Ha, Ha, Ha!" laughed and cackle Cozy Glow. She trapped the young six and Starlight in an orb of magic and glared at the students, who are trembling from fear. She justs confessed she been behind the event of draining magic and lots were mad, sad, or scared. They are all hiding and trembling and cowering, begging for mercy. She smiled evilly. But then a glow, rainbow-colored appeared and wrapped around Cozy Glow and her saddlebag. It was the Element of Harmony, defeating her and the young six escaped the vortex, smugging.

Occulus grabbed an artifact. " If we pulled out the artifact, it could destroy the school. But we have to try or we'll lose magic forever. The Element of Harmony was still circling Cozy Glow while Cozy let out grunts of defeated cry and pain. The students would cheer and whoop every second, watching the scene.

When the young six pulled out the artifact, every creature and every pony ran for their lives, and in a spark of magic, the rainbow whirlpool released Cozy Glow and Starlight Glimmer teleported every pony outside where it's safe. Cozy Glow immediately searched her saddle frantically and in her hoof, laid a broken picture. The frame had been crusted with a red gem but now very broken. Cozy clasp the picture into her chest, sobbing tears.

The main six teleported and glared at Cozy Glow but stopped and looked at her in surprise. Why was she crying?

" Cozy Glow. Why are you crying?" Twilight asked, bending down in confusion.

" Well look at that. The most important thing I had in years and now it's ruined. And it's all your fault." she sobbed and pointed a hoof at the broken picture. The main six looked at her and then at the photo. Rainbow scoffed and rolled her eyes. Fluttershy and Rarity raised their eyebrows. The students were staring, enjoying every moment, but was still confused.

" Big deal! It's just a photo. And you put much more harm to many ponies than this... picture!" Rainbow laughed and rolled her eyes. Cozy Glow's face became red with rage anger and fumed," A Picture! Not any!" she bellowed in a deep voice, which shook some grass. Every pony looked at her in surprise. What was she talking about? They raised an eyebrow which means that they are confused.

" Fine," she said flatly. " My parents died and I had only one picture of them. it was very valuable to me. I loved it and would carry it everywhere I went. I survived through many dangerous attempts. I knew it was my lucky charm. I wanted to have a friend because then with that friend, I could form a new family and be happy again. And I wasn't patient. That photo was very important to me and very close to my heart." she sighed miserably.

" Ok. Let's see if you're actually telling the truth and not lying like most time. I learned a spell that if you're telling the truth, you will low green. But if lying, you'll glow red." she said and with a purple spark of her horn's, Cozy glowed green and sparkled. Every pony gasped.

" Wow. I am so, so sorry. I didn't know that this photo was so important to you. I will forgive you as we been hurting your most valuable item. But maybe we can fix it." Cozy Glow beamed and smiled, her smile big and bold. Twilight lit her horn and closed her eyes. She slowly glowed and it took some effort because the frame of the photo was engraved with some magical gem that makes it hard to repair it. She groaned and squeezed her eyes. She collapses and fell down, breathing hard. She was tired and exhausted.

She tried again but fail and collapsed. After 10 times, she gave up. She closed her eyes tiredly.

"I'm so sorry but... I failed. I can't fix it, I am so so sorry." Twilight said sadly. Cozy Glow whimpered and grimaced, tears streaming.

" But.. If you can't fix it, who can?" Cozy sobbed. Every pony and creature was silent until a yellow glow attracted them. The yellow glow got brighter and brighter and shone so brightly. Everyone gasped. it was Princess Celestia. " What is going on?!" bellowed Celestia, her smile small and worried.

" Well, basically Cozy Glow drained the magic from Equestria and the force destroyed a photo of jer family and it's weirdly engraved with gems hard to repair. But now I can't fix it and I made cozy Glow lost the most valuable item, one closest to her heart." Twilight rushed to say and burst into tears. She was still tired, huffing and panting, and weak.

Celestia just smile and closed her eyes. Her horn lit in a golden yellow way and she raised. In a burst, The photo was repaired and look new and crispy. It even looked more better and realistic, with the gems more sparkly and the photo more cleaner. Cozy Glow sobbed happy tears and ran to the photo, hugging it close to her chest. Everyone cheered and celebrated, clapping and laughing.

"Cupcakes for every pony, I mean every creature and ponies. "screamed Pinkie, bouncing and holding a plate of cupcakes.
"Even villains?"Cozy Glow asked, looking at the cupcake long.

"Everyone," Twilight said and hugged her, spreading her wing.

"I am so sorry for what I did. And now I think I understand the true meaning of friendship. With true friends, they'll always be here for you. But if you force them, youĺl have fake friends. Is that right?" Cozy Glow asked in delight and stared at Twilight.

"Indeed. And I am glad you learned that. Would you like to help me by preparing and fixing up the school?"Twilight nodded and Cozy Glow nodded, beaming. Once again, everyone cheered and gobble up some cupcakes. Peace was finally restore and Cozy Glow flew over and picked up some woods.

"That reminds me. Whereś the cutie mark crusaders? "asked Sandbar.
