"Oh great," Lickety Split said. "It's raining."
"What time is it, Cupcake?" Shady asked. Cupcake checked Mike's watch.
"Midnight," she said. "And we don't know if they made it or not."
Suddenly, Lickety Split saw the others run to the cave, bruised, battered, and wet from the rain. Not one of them came out of the fight without a scratch.
"We did it!" Davy shouted. "We've stopped them!"
"Hooray!" Shady shouted. "Let's get inside and see what happens with Mike!"
The others gathered around Mike, watching anxiously for something to happen. All of a sudden, his body stopped glowing and the star on his neck disappeared. Peter gripped Davy's hand and bit his lip. Mike groaned slightly, shifted, and his eyes slowly opened.
"Michael?" Peter asked.
"What?" Mike asked, leaning up. "What happened? Why's everybody starin' at me?"
"He's okay!" Cupcake shouted.
"Yay!" Peter shouted, and he wrapped his arms around his Texan friend. Mike was taken aback at that.
"Okay, somebody want to fill me in on what happened?" Mike asked.
"It's a long story, mate," Davy said, patting Mike on the shoulder.
"Isn't it always?" Micky asked. "Anyway, Mike, it all started when we were leaving Flutter Valley."
Bit by bit, the Monkees and the ponies filled Mike in on the details of what had happened.
"Man, I'm sorry I missed it," Mike said.
"Ember was the real hero," Wind Whistler said.
"I'm wondering 'ow she did it," Davy said. "All that rainbow power coming out of a cute little pony! Wow!"
"I don't know," Ember said. "Once Twilight and the other unicorns put their horns together and made their magic, I just zapped the bad guys with the rainbow magic."
"I always knew you would be a special pony," Twilight said, as she nuzzled Ember.
"Hey, guys!" Danny called. "It stopped raining and the sun's coming up!"
The others walked out of the cave in order to see the sunrise as they stood on the hill. It truly was a beautiful sight. But then, Baby Shady saw something at the bottom of the hill.
"Look everybody!" she shouted.
Everybody looked and saw that Paradise Estate had been restored, as well as the Lullaby Nursery.
"It's a miracle!" Fire Fly shouted.
"It's impossible!" Wind Whistler shouted, astonished.
"I don't care what it is!" Medley shouted. "It's home!"
Nobody could argue there. They were happy to have their old home back.
"I'll never look at it the same way again," Twilight said.
"You know somethin', Twilight?" Mike said. "I won't either."
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my eyes
Twilight: The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life, oh, how they fill my mind
All: All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings, feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
Medley: I'm changing
Airedale: Arranging
Davy: I'm changing
I'm changing everything, ah, everything around me
Shady: The world is a sad place, a sad place
Fire Fly: A terrible place to live
Fizzy: Oh, but I don't wanna cry
All: All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings
Peter: All my cryings
All: Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
Gusty: Oh I'm going home
All: All my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home
All my cryings, feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my own home
(repeat until fade)
As the little ponies, the Monkees, and their friends sang, a rainbow shined over Paradise Estate. The ponies knew they had saved the day, and their greatest adventure had come to an end.
