"The only way we can remain happy is if we're all equal," said Starlight, trying to win back her villagers after they had discovered the truth.

"Except you." Party Favour said bluntly, causing Starlight to snarl and ready a spell.

"Everypony has unique talents and gifts, and when we share them with each other, that's how we really shine as individuals," Twilight said proudly, her chance to change the ways of Starlight and her villagers. "No matter what you may be able to do to our Cutie Marks, our real personalities can never be stomped out. And there will always be differences that separate us, one way or another."

"But... I... I..." Starlight stuttered and babbled incomprehensible gibberish for a few seconds before hanging her head and cancelling the magical buildup. "I suppose you're right, Twilight. I just didn't want people to feel ostricized by their differences, but I guess I just got carried away in the process..."

"Well, you can make it up to everypony here and now. Just return all of the Cutie Marks in the vault, and I'll let all of this slide. You'll get your friends back, and you can hopefully start them down a better philosophy. Deal?"

"Deal."

The two mares shook hooves.

"Come on, everypony! Let's get your Cutie Marks back!" Starlight led the way to the vault.

"I still got it." Twilight smiled as she and her friends followed the townsponies up to the cave.
