Twilight grins as she looks at herself in a mirror back in her library. The mare could hardly believe it. She is now an alicorn and a princess! Who thought that this day would come? Twilight sure didn't. Perhaps it must be the next step in her studies that Princess Celestia told her about.

Twilight is still living in Ponyville of course but she is still wondering if she would move and do some royal duties. Her thoughts were interrupted by her friends who are aweing over her. Fluttershy comments, "You look like a princess...err, did I say that?"

"Oh yes, you did." Twilight said with a light chuckle. Ben Mare, Nyx and Phobos, who helped her during the cutie mark switch incident that led to her being a princess, are of course helping making a party in honor of the new princess. "Who knew that a messed up spell cast by me would lead to this?"

"I sure didn't. I know that you didn't mean to switch our cutie marks and our true selves and we aren't mad at you for that." Rarity said pleased. "Well, maybe a bit peeved but you know that."

"Yes, yes, Rarity, I do. Thanks."

"Man, wouldn't it be awesome if the rest of us were alicorns too!" Rainbow remarks with a grin to the others. "I mean, how cool would that be?"

"That would be nice." Fluttershy said with a smile. "Imagine the help that I can do with the animals!"

"Too bad 'dat ain't happening anytime soon." Applejack remarks with a nod. "Ah done would love 'ta see 'dat."

Twilight, hearing that, has a thought then said, "Actually....maybe you can see it! Spike, get the machine!"

"No problem, princess!" Spike exclaims, saluting Twilight as he head off to get the machine.

"Just Twilight would do, okay?"

"'Machine'," Pinkie ask eagerly as she hops up and down on all four hooves. "You mean..."

"That's right." Twilight said as Spike push in a familiar machine, "The Universal Viewer! And since the party won't be for a while, how about we have a little show courtesy of your new princess?"

"I would love a show on that thing regardless!" Pinkie exclaims as she got out popcorn and drinks for herself and her friends. "Ready, Twilight!"

Twilight nods as she to the speaker and speaks into it, "Machine? What if my friends and I were alicorns earlier...like say after we defeated Nightmare Moon and when we first met? Tell us."

The machine came to life as a show begins to show up on the monitor...

------------------

Nightmare Moon laughs evilly, with Twilight looking worried. Not good, the Elements are in pieces right in front of her. All is lost...

Until Twilight hear voices, turning to hear the other ponies arriving into the tower. The purple unicorn gasps as a spark went off in her eyes. Of course, that's it!

"You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that?" Twilight ask Nightmare Moon with a smirk. "Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here."

Soon the rest of the ponies appear, standing nearby the smiling Twilight. Suddenly, to the evil alicorn's shock, the shattered pieces of the Elements begin to glow and float into the air.

"What?" Nightmare Moon asks in surprise. How could this be happening?

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!" Twilight explains. To Applejack's surprise, she begins to glow as shards appear around her neck.

"Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!" Twilight explains as similar shards appear around Fluttershy's neck. "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!" More shards appear around Pinkie's neck, much to her happiness.

Nightmare Moon looks stunned as Twilight continues, "Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!" Twilight adds as Rarity sees shards appearing around her neck. "And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!"

Rainbow grins as more shards appear around her own neck. Twilight continues, "The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us."

"You still don't have the sixth Element!" Nightmare Moon protested, trying to regain control of the situation. "The spark didn't work!"

"But it did! A different kind of spark," Twilight said while turning to the other ponies, giving them a smile. "I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all," The other ponies smile as their friend turns back to the evil alicorn, "...are my friends!"

Soon, a flash appears as Twilight saw another orb with has her cutie mark on it appear, the sixth element. Then it glows as Nightmare Moon tried to shield herself.

"You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the...the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of...magic!" Twilight announces as the whole group glows brightly.

Soon the shards turn into necklaces for the other ponies with their own cutie marks on them while the last element turns into a tiara which has her cutie that which lands on Twilight's head. The six ponies glow as a rainbow came from them, heading right for Nightmare Moon.

"NOOO," Nightmare Moon screams as she tries to escape but to no prevail, the rainbow is engulfing the evil alicorn.

The group continues to glows as Twilight opens her eyes...

-------------------------------
A few minutes later, the ponies find themselves on the floor, groaning but safe and sound.

"Ugh, my head," Rainbow groans while she feels her own forehead.

"Everypony okay," Applejack asks her friends hopefully.

"Oh, thank goodness!" Rarity exclaims upon seeing a happy sight. There's her tail, replacing the one that she gave to the sea serpent earlier. It grew back!

"Why Rarity, it's so lovely." Fluttershy comments with a smile.

"I know! I'll never part with it again!" Rarity said happily.

"No, your necklace," Fluttershy said, pointing a hoof at Rarity's neck, much to the uniform's notice. "It looks like your cutie mark."

"Ooh. So does yours." Rarity said, noting Fluttershy's necklace. The yellow Pegasi gasps as she saw that her own cutie mark is indeed on the necklace that she's wearing.

"Aw yeah," Rainbow exclaims, pleased while glancing at her pendant.

"Gee, Twilight!" Applejack said to Twilight with a smile. "Ah thought yew were just speaking a lot o' hooey, but Ah reckon we really do represent 'de elements o' friendship."

"Indeed you do." A familiar voice spoke up. The mares turn to a window and gasps as the sun lift up, a flash of light went off as a familiar alicorn appears in front of them.

As the ponies minus Twilight bows, the happy purple unicorn exclaims, "Princess Celestia!" She rushes over as the two ponies begin to hug in a pony like way.

"Twilight, my faithful student; I knew you could do it." Celestia said with a smile. She then notices and looks surprised.

"Princess; is there a problem?"

"It appears that defeating Nightmare wasn't the only thing you have done...but rather you all have...gotten some new additions to yourselves."

"What do..." Twilight begins to say but a familiar scream...of joy cut her off.

"Twilight, look at me!" Pinkie squeals. Twilight turns and her eyes widen as she saw Pinkie smiling at her head and her...wings? The mare looks shocked as she took a double look and saw that a horn is now on the Earth pony's head!

"Twilight," Fluttershy gasps in surprise. Twilight saw that her friend has a new addition to herself: a horn on her head.

And Pinkie and Fluttershy isn't the only one. Applejack now has wings and a horn, Rarity now has wings and Rainbow now has a horn! The cyan pony looks at herself, grinning while saying, "Oh yeah! Look at my horn!"

"Did the Elements of Harmony did this to you girls?" Twilight gasps in shock and amazement.

"We ain't 'de only ones, sugar cube!" Applejack exclaims with her eyes widen. "Look at yerself!"

Twilight blinks as she looks at her side...and discovers wings now on herself! This could mean one thing..

Twilight and her friends are now Alicorns!
