It all makes sense now....

A lone pony stepped outside onto the balcony of her tree home. It looked out to the sun that had just began to rise.

The many years of being away from social interactions, the lack of thoughts in one of the most natural quadrants of a creature's brain, no wonder I'm imbalanced... how could I not have seen it before?

The mare took a deep breath as she collected her thoughts, beginning to plan out the day that awaited her.

I sacrificed social interaction to have a large storage of knowledge... therefore, I should be incomplete. And the only reason I don't feel incomplete in life is because of my friends, but... I fear that even when we're together, we're still not complete.

She looked up in the sky, the stars of the night already faded away below the blanket of the sun. The birds began to chirp and a rooster could be heard in the distance, followed by a bell ringing even further out that was hardly audible.

According to the studying I did throughout the night, one can achieve balance through a wholesome connection of body, mind, and soul. Well, my friends are surely connected well through our minds and souls, we are forever best friends and bound together by the elements. But our bodies...

Her horn lit up and scroll floated out before her. On it was some writing and a checklist of things to do, or more specifically, ponies to do.

I have some social friends, and some are not as social as others. Those that are social may be lacking knowledge that counteracts their high social stature. However, that won't be a problem once I educate them on how to be balanced... then they will have more wisdom than anypony else in the world. And for each one of them that I connect to with our bodies, the more I myself become complete...

The unicorn rolled up the scroll as her saddlebags floated out and seated themselves on her back. She put the scroll into her saddlebag as she looked around, taking another deep breath.

I will make the elements complete. I will show each of my friends the sensual side of the mind, the side that Celestia and Luna had been without for so long, and the same side that caused their imbalance. With that, we will all be complete... we will all embrace each other in mind, body, and soul. We will be complete... we will become whole.

Twilight Sparkle turned around and re-entered her library, only to exit it soon after. She didn't know where her friends were, or how they escaped how they did, but the princesses made it clear that this was to be used as an obstacle for her to overcome. She has to find her friends, one by one, and show each of them what true balance really means. As she trots down the still empty streets of Ponyville, she thinks back to what happened the last several nights. Her and her friends were all briefed on what had happened with Celestia, and also about those ponies who knew about the Molestia side. Silver Shield was one, but certainly there's a few more... and if she can figure this, so can her friends.

Twilight raises her head, looking confidently ahead as she changes her direction. With vigor in her heart and a single goal in mind, she takes a road straight out of Ponyville, with Canterlot Castle visible in the far distance.

“We have arrived,” Trixie stated as her and the group of mares trotted through the gates of Canterlot.

It was still early morning, so there was not much activity going around. There were mail ponies and sanitation department workers out, but beyond them the streets were pretty much clear. Most of the “upper class” ponies enjoyed sleeping in, it seemed.

“'Bout time,” Applejack sighed as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “That little stroll took us way too long.”

“I agree,” Rarity groaned. “I simply do not understand why you had us stop halfway here to sleep in the middle of a grass field. Even if it was soft, it was also very dirty! Couldn't we have reached here first and then rented out a hotel for a bit if we needed the sleep?”

“Well, Trixie still has some old habbits from her traveling days...” Trixie replied as her and the group continued trotting through the streets. “But it only makes her stronger, after all. Only the most dexterous can fall asleep out in a field, and then awaken only a few hours later in prime condition!”

“Or ya just used a self-recoverin' spell on yerself,” Applejack accused.

“Or that...” Trixie shrugged.

“So, um, where do we go now?” Fluttershy spoke up. “I mean, to get some help...”

“Yeah, didn't you say you had some big plan or something?” Rainbow Dash questioned.

“Of course Trixie has a plan,” she huffed. “Now, after what happened a few days ago with Celestia, Trixie felt it her duty to find out more information involving Celestia and her 'other side'. More importantly, Trixie wanted to figure out first who all knew about Molestia before she resurfaced a few days ago.”

“Wait, so there's more ponies out there that already knew about mega meany molestia!?” Pinkie asked as she hopped up beside Trixie.

“Of course! It's obvious the princess would keep at least a few ponies informed, no matter the secret. All Trixie had to do was go out and find them, and it turns out that guard Silver Shield is one such pony.”

“Well, it would make sense fer a royal guard to know 'bout that sorta thing,” Applejack thought out loud.

“Exactly, and after a bit of... convincing, Trixie was able to discover that her suspicions were correct, and that there were more than him that knew. And after some more convincing, Trixie was granted a name. The home of one of these ponies is actually not far from here, and is our current course.”

“So, what you're saying is that you think one of these other ponies would know other methods to cure the princesses?” Dash inquired.

“Precisely!” Trixie replied. “It seems you're not all muscle and no brains after all Rainbow Dash.”

“Hey!” Dash growled.

“Anyways, we're almost there now. The house should be... ah, right over there!” Trixie pointed her hoof off to the front-left.

The group continued on, all eyes staring at the large establisment that recently came into view. They weren't even close to it, and already a certain white unicorn's blood began to boil as she read the front most sign that was posted before the front yard.
