You turn the tiara about in your hooves. It's pretty enough in a sort of 'could be really evil' kinda way. You decide that getting it to somepony who knows how to deal with it would be the best thing to do with it. Twilight Sparkle always had the answers! You take off for her tower with haste.

Landing at the base of the tower, you nod to yourself and tap on the door. Spike opens it with a smile. "Oh, hey there!" He notices the tiara you're holding up. "What's that?"

"Not sure. This pony was causing trouble with it." You pass it over to him. "You know I'm not one for magical things."

He studies it carefully. "Totally! Magic is definitely Twilight's thing. We should bring this up to her." He holds it in both hands as he twirls around. "Let's go find her. I left her reading some books." He rolls his eyes. "A normal day." He trots into the library as you follow. "Hey Twilight, I found something!"

She closes her book and looks up at him. "Something worth reading? It's nice to have a break from that strange weather." She slides down from her chair and peeks out of her library to see Spike and you coming closer. Her eyes dart to the circlet. "What's that?"

"This pony brought it in." Spike holds it up to her. "He says it made somepony act evil. Could it be enchanted?"

Twilight looks at it with a furrowed brow. Her horn glows as she lifts it up carefully. "Made somepony act evil? That's awful." She brings it over to put it on a desk. "Perhaps we shouldn't touch it."

Spike and you watch her pace around it, but keeping distance. She pulls a magnifying glass out from behind her. You had no idea she kept one there. "There are markings along the edge here." She leans in carefully. "GPT?" She flops back on her haunches. "GPT." Her brows fall in a scowl. "G. a. P. T." She huffs with obvious irritation. "Trixie!"

"Trixie?" Spike shakes his head. "Why do you have such bad luck with her? And how do we fix this thing? It might be fun to keep, but I don't want it hurting somepony again."

Twilight's eyes narrow at the tiara. "It won't, not if I have anything to say about it." She floats it in her magic. "Melting it while nopony is wearing it is likely the best course of action." She turns to you. "Thank you. You've saved all of Ponyville, perhaps Equestria, today. Equestria thanks you."

You:

A: Request recompensating.

B: Celebrate your victory.
