Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Amiticia finally got out of the basement after hiding in it, and went to find his friends; finding them with the real Pinkie Pie at Town Hall.

"Are...are all those...Pinkie Pie clones gone now?" Amiticia asked, waiting for conformation.

"Yes, they are. And now we're back down to just one Pinkie Pie." Twilight told her newest friend.

"Thank god...there were just...too many of them." Amiticia said. "As soon as I sensed an overflow of Pinkie Pie's signature energy I just...I just hid. There was so much happiness going around that I had to hid myself or else I'd get sick from all the excess." Amiticia said.

"You can get sick off of ponies being happy? I thought you changelings fed off of love." Rainbow Dash was confused.

"We do. And Pinkie Pie loves doing fun things all the time. In a normal setting, a changeling can feed off of a pony's love if there's a lot coming off of one without harming that particular pony. Something I learned about during recon once when I was watching this one earth pony named Bon Bon as I know her now, and that unicorn named Lyra as I also know now but found a lot of love energy coming off from the two of them being together. I think they were starting to fall for one another at that point, and it wasn't that long ago. Seems a bit of my memory from the time I was brainwashed came back from the Pinkie Pie clones." Amiticia said.

"So what about that? How does that related to now?" Applejack asked.

"Well because they were having so much love between them, I was able to feast on that love without harming them. It was what you would consider a snack run. This brings me back to Pinkie Pie and her clones: Because all of them were doing things that they loved doing which was making others happy, there was a lot of love energy in the air. Now normally, that much wouldn't make a changeling sick...but keep that love energy flowing every where you looked..." Amiticia said.

"And you start to feel like your getting a tummy ache." Rarity finished for Amitica. Everyone looked at the fashionista. "What? I've had a tummy ache before too. I once ate so much Ice Cream I got a tummy ache. I assume it's not that much different." Rarity explained.

"Well...yeah. I suppose it would be pretty much a tummy ache from that much love being produced on a constant basis. I'm just glad it's all over." Amiticia said.

"So that's where you were all day...no wonder I couldn't find you to help me out." Pinkie Pie siad.

"No offense Pinkie, but I would've been able to figure out which one of you was real if you had tried to approuch the basement of Twilight’s Library where I was hiding out in." Amiticia said.

"Wait, I thought you said all the clones had the same energy signature?" Fluttershy asked.

"The energy signature may have been the same, but there was a way for me to tell which one was the real Pinkie Pie the entire time." Amiticia said before he lit his horn up. Suddenly all of the main 6 had a green heart over their heads. "An old changeling trick to make sure we don't get mistaken for ponies by other changelings. It's a simple spell I cast on everyone when we were with Shining Armor and the princesses the other day. It doesn't do anything but make sure on the off chance a changeling were to impersonate you, I'd be able to cast my spell and if I don't see that heart, I'd know it was a changeling." Amiticia said.

"So basically, you've made it impossible for any of us to get nabbed by the other changelings?" Twilight asked.

"More or less, yes." Amiticia said.

"That's...admittedly a good thing." Twilight said.

"...This is funny...I'm picking up an evil energy signature heading our way." Amiticia said.


It was a long and tiring process, but eventually Twilgiht managed to get rid of the Alicorn Amulet, which Amiticia promptly destroyed afterwards.

"I hope that this Trixie tries approaching us more friendly next time..." Amiticia said. "But for now, this little trinket has successfully been destroyed." He added.

"Thanks for your help, Amitcia." Twilight said, smiling. "Even though your whole deal of really being a changeling got revealed because of that amulet." She said.

"Look around, Twilight. No one cares. They know that without my help, Trixie wouldn't have been so easily fooled to take off the Alicorn Amulet." Amiticia said. "I think everyone here sees me as a good pony." He added.

"True, I don't think the act would've been successful without your help, Amiticia. You did help out tremendously. I didn't even know you could do things like what you did." Twilight said.

"I didn't either until I did it to help you. I just acted on the instinct of wanting to help you." Amiticia said.

"Well I do appreciate the help." Twilight said, smiling. Soon their friends came up to the duo.

"Way to rock the tricks, Amiticia." Rainbow Dash said.

"The one time being dishonest actually came in handy." Applejack said.

"Hey, even if it wasn't real magic, you can't deny that I did good." Amiticia said.

"He's right girls. Amiticia was a dear and helped us get that infernal amulet off of Trixie." Rarity said.

"Plus, everyone seems to be kindly welcoming Amiticia's true form to our midst." Fluttershy said.

"Hey, you know what this calls for?" Pinkie Pie asked before suddenly everything shifted to a party scene. "A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie suddenly yelled out.

Amiticia smiled as he enjoyed the party Pinkie Pie was hosting in his honor for his help in saving the town and getting Twilight back. He enjoyed his new friends so much, and was looking forward to more adventures to come.


Author's Note

So yeah, I stuffed a bit of Magic Duel in here too. Not much changed, outside of Amiticia being a part of the acts Twilight performed to trick Trixie into taking off the Alicorn Amulet. Season 3 is only 13 Episodes long, yet there are only a few things that change with Amiticia around.
