(This story was a commission for/request from MasonKlusek. Takes place in an AU during and after "The Mean Six" for obvious reasons.)

Twilight and her friends are suddenly made aware of the fact that their strange camping trip has really been the work of Queen Chrysalis. And that it's all part of her plan to try to steal the Elements of Harmony and use them against their original bearers.

Alerted to this plot, Twilight and her friends arrive in time to thwart it. Chrysalis then flees, abandoning her own creations, who are left to the mercy of the very ponies they're meant to be copies of.

Instead of destroying the clones, however, Twilight proposes that she and her friends teach their copies about the virtues that make up the Elements of Harmony. It's her hope that this will get the clones to change their ways, but will it work as Twilight intends?
