Unwillingly the six girls followed Inhio towards wherever he was leading them. They didn't talk during the journey. All the questions had either already been asked, or were simply too scary to ask.

Not long after leaving the urban part of the city, the small company reached a peaceful meadow. A park bordered by a large forest.

It was quite the sight for sore eyes. As the girls walked through the flourishing field of flowers, it almost started reminding them of home. The birds were singing, the sound of cars had faded away, and the world suddenly just started seeming a whole lot brighter, even though the sun was already setting.

As the girls gazed around, each noticed something that caught their interest. Fluttershy, in particular, enjoyed the sight of wild animals running around near the edge of the forest.

The girls could only hope that this sudden change of scenery wasn't about to be followed by something dreadful.

Before long, Inhio stopped. For if he had taken just one more step, he would have fallen off a cliff.

The six girls joined him by the edge of the cliff and gazed at the majestic sunrise above the sea, alongside Inhio.

"You asked me how do I live with all of this," Inhio reminded them. "This is how." He waved his hand across the air in front of him. "By choosing to see the good in this world over the bad," Inhio explained. "Every coin has two sides. Every awful thing has an amazing counterpart, and the night is only so dark because the day is so bright." Inhio stopped speaking for a moment. Something down at the beachside caught his attention. "And just because it's one of the most commonly told lies..." Inhio directed their attention towards a loving couple walking by the sea. "Doesn't mean that love doesn't exist in this world."

The smiles on the young couple's faces helped spread more smiles. They seemed so happy together that the six girls by Inhio's side forgot about the darker part of this world and let joy fill their hearts once more.

"For you see, ponies of Equestria," Inhio turned around and addressed the girls. "This world isn't necessarily just awful, and neither is it simply amazing...In fact, it's always been in balance." He reached into his pocket and took a coin out of it. "And if you choose to constantly look at only one side of the coin," he said while flipping the coin around. "You won't ever even know that it has another side."

After he finished speaking, he reached for Twilight's hand and put the coin in her palm and then closed it with his own hand. He then gazed deeply into her eyes and spoke:

"That is how I live with all of this."

If at first Twilight had doubts about following Inhio to this final location he had in mind, then those doubts were cleared away to the very last one at this moment. She slowly opened her hand and took a look at the coin Inhio had given her. She saw a beautiful sun embedded on one side. She then turned it around and saw a majestic, crescent moon on the other one.

She put on a firm smile as she gripped the coin in her hand and threw her arms around Inhio. "Thank you," she whispered as a single tear slid down her cheek.

Inhio gladly returned both the smile and the hug. "Don't mention it."

***

Before long, the day was already done, and the company of seven was already back at Inhio's apartment and just about ready to depart.

"So..." Inhio caught everyone's attention. "I guess this is goodbye."

"I guess so," Twilight sadly replied.

Inhio and the six girls gazed at each other for some time. Twilight had already begun turning towards the crystal ball on the table, but she suddenly turned around and rushed over to hug Inhio. Her friends didn't hesitate to do the same. Inhio gladly returned the hug.

"Oh!" Twilight exclaimed after disengaging from the hug. "Almost forgot." She reached into her pocket. "Here." She handed Inhio his coin back.

Inhio smiled at her and reached for the coin with both arms, but instead of grabbing it, he closed her hand.

"Keep it," Inhio told her with a warm smile on his face. "To have something to remember me by."

Twilight smiled as she held on to the coin tightly. "I only wish I could give you something in return..."

"You already have," Inhio said while looking at the crystal ball on his table. "You're not taking that with you, are you?"

Twilight giggled. She hugged Inhio one last time before leaving. "If there is one thing that's amazing about this world, then it's you, Inhio."

"Well then..." Inhio spoke in a playful tone. "Lets hope I don't run into my counterpart," he jested.

After a brief laugh, he placed his palm on Twilight's shoulder. "This world won't seem as amazing to me without you in it."

"Don't worry, Inhio," Pinkie Pie interjected. "We'll keep in touch."

"And you'd better do the same, mister," Twilight ordered in a cheerfully serious tone.

"Aye, aye, princess!" Inhio saluted.

And with that, Twilight walked back over to the table and joined her friends, who were already holding their hands on the crystal ball and waiting for her. She waved at Inhio one last time before beginning the recall spell.

Inhio waved right back and watched the spell be set in motion. As the energies engulfed them all, they quickly regained their pony forms, and before long, Inhio's room was devoid of any life other than his own.

After the dust had settled, the coin master jumped into his couch and crossed his arms behind his head.

"What I wouldn't give for another day like this..."

***

On the other side of the ball, the six ponies had just returned to their homeworld and were still a bit dizzy from the dimensional jump.

"Twilight!" Overjoyed to see her, Twilight's lovely, little assistant ran over her to give her a warm hug.

"Spike!" she answered him and hugged him back, right before slapping him across the face.

"Ow!" Spike yelped. "What was that for?"

"You didn't think I'd forget, did you?" she replied while pointing at the cloaking spell book that Spike had forgotten to return to it's shelf.

"Oh..."
