Harmonia was sinking lower and lower into the heart, as if she was drowning.

Her eyes was squeezed shut, but only for a second, she opens them.

She looks to the faces of her family and friends being surrounded by the heart their faces full of worry and tears.

Harmonia tries to reach out to them, but the heart's atmosphere was pushing her further down.

She hit the bottom surface, the glass that connected her body to the floor sounded like softly shattered glass.

She lays there for a moment listening to the sound of her own breathing.

The heart’s aura begin to glow around Harmonia from a pale pink to a sickly green. She sat up from the heart’s cold glass surface floor.

Looking around her, she saw the Queen's face everywhere. Harmonia made a low growl of annoyance and despite for this tyrant.

Chrysalis's images from the Lover's Stone made its appearance in every nook and cranny of the glass heart.

The glass heart faded back to it's dull state, Harmonia turned around coming face to face with the Queen.

Fear struck through the young draconequus, but she let that fear only pass through for a mere second. She closed her eyes and snapped her paw. She teleports, but only teleported three feet. She opened her eyes, only to realized she was still trapped.

She tried once again, but again only teleports a short distance. “What the-” Harmonia mutters, she was about to try again, but was cut off by Chrysalis shriller of an evil laugh.

“Silly young and naive princess what makes you think you can just poof your way out of the Lover’s Stone? “There is no way out and you have no powers!” Chrysalis sneers.

Harmonia narrows her eyes at the Queen. “Looks like it’s just you and me now, but not for long.” Chrysalis smirks.

Chrysalis slowly creeps toward Harmonia, towering over the young Princess. “You won’t get away with this.” Harmonia sneers.

“And yet I already have.” Coos Chrysalis.

“You seem my dear, I know what makes ponies tick, their greatest fears-” Chrysalis states.

“I thought that was King Sombra’s doing?” Harmonia questions.

Chrysalis scoffs. “Whatever, but I know that your greatest fear has just come true.” `

Chrysalis blasts Harmonia, sending her flying backwards into the walls of the Lover's Stone heart.

Harmonia shakes her head, regaining focus.

"You're all alone, nopony is here. It's only me and you." Chrysalis sneers.

"You know, just because I'm by myself does not mean I will sub-come to the likes of you." Harmonia states.

"Oh don't be so naive child. You're bound to break sooner than expected." Chrysalis said.

Harmonia thought for a moment, she started to give off a warm glow of light.

"Not if there is a power that you know nothing about." Harmonia said.

"How is this even possible? I taken your powers away from you." Chrysalis asks, slightly take aback.

"Yeah? Well there is one power you seem to have forgotten about and that's love!" Harmonia exclaims.

A bright flash of light radiates from inside and on the outside of the Lover's Stone.

The light dims and to reveal a pale grey exterior from the inside out.

“What was that?” Twilight asks, examining the Heart.

“I'm not sure.” Mumbles Cadence.

From inside the heart, Harmonia and Chrysalis still remained trapped inside the crystal walls of the Lover's Stone.

“You do realize that you are still trapped in here.” Chrysalis asks.

Harmonia rolls her eyes. “This is for villains after all.” Chrysalis said.

“For your information, I am not a villain. Unlike you, I can easily get out. My dad may be The Lord of Chaos, but that doesn't mean I'll follow in his hoovesteps.” Harmonia huffs.

“A good friend of mine taught me that.” Harmonia mutters, but she mutters this last bit to herself.

“But how long do you think we will remain trapped in here?” Harmonia mutters.

“Who's to say. The last time this heart was used was a millennium ago. I honestly don't remember the full details, so don't expect me to go there.” Chrysalis explains, her tone blunt.

“Since we are trapped in here for Celestia knows how long I want an understanding.” Harmonia said. Her voice slightly firm, but soft at the same time.

“Of what?” Chrysalis scoffs.

“Of why you are so bitter. What caused you to be this way? And too attack my family. What did we ever do to you?” Harmonia questions.

Chrysalis sneers. “It was you're Aunt Starlight that has made me loathe to despite you ponies even more in the first place. She stole my hive and turned my subjects against me. So while I was away I knew she simply had to pay.” The Queen explains.

“.... Okay, but what does that have to do with my family?” Harmonia asks.

“Your family was never a part of the scheme honestly, but when I saw that your dear mother was corrupted by King Sombra I simply seized that opportunity to pay for what Starlight did to me four moons ago. Also taking over Canterlot was just an added bonus and so was your family.” Chrysalis said.

“Wow! You do not let go of the past so easily. Huh?” Harmonia asks.

Chrysalis didn't even bother to answer. “Oh please I don't need your sympathy.” Chrysalis said.

The draconequus snaps her paw and a Key Lime pie appeared beside her.

“You're thinking of food at a time like this?” Chrysalis asks, her tone unamused.

Harmonia grins, excited. “Forget the pie! I have my powers back! Look, I would really like to help you I really would. But you would only reject my friendship just you did my Aunt Starlight's. I'm not sure what you have been through in the past, but I can't help somepony if they don't want to help themselves first.” Harmonia explains.

“Now if you'll excuse me I have family to see. See ya never Queen Meanie.” Harmonia said, before snapping her paw to get out of the Lover's Stone.

“There has to be some way you can get her out.” Confetti Pop said, slightly worried.

“I'm afraid not little one, this type of magic is beyond even Alicorn magic.” Celestia explains.

“So your saying that even five powerful alicorns, such as yourselves and none of you know how to break this type of magic?” Tiberius asked.

“Tibby, this is ancient magic we are dealing with here.” Amiris explains.

“I just want my little fuzzball back.” Mutters Discord.

“We all want Harmonia back, right Stormy?” King Sombra asks, noticing that his daughter was the only one showing any remorse.

“I cry on the inside.” Mutters Stormy, her tone blunt.

“I just want my baby girl back.” Mutters Twilight, tears aligned her eyes.

Without anyone noticing the Lover's Stone lifted from the ground, glowing and spinning as it was turning back into its original state of condition.

Harmonia lightly coughed, before lightly brushing down her ruined dress. “What's everypony crying for? Who died?” she asks.

“I can still hear her voice.” Pinkie Pie mumbles, both her ears and hair both are flattened.

Trixie was hugging her daughter and son, but Mystic was the first one to notice. “Well is it possible to see her too?” Mystic asks to anypony in particular.

Starlight looks at Mystic. “Mystic now's not the time to-” Starlight said, but Confetti Pop cuts her off.

“Harmony! You're okay!” Confetti said, running up to the young princess.

Harmonia giggles. “It's nice to see you too Confetti.” Harmonia said, softly smiling at her friend.

The others turned around, wide smiles appeared on their faces. The first two to hug Harmonia was Twilight and Discord. “Harmonia!” They both said, hugging her.

“Mom! Dad!” Harmonia said, her tone equally as excited to see them.

She wrapped her claw and paw around both of them, eveloping them in a hug. Even though her parents were not together anymore she can still feel the love that they had for her in return.

“We thought we lost you.” Discord said.

“I'm so glad you are okay now.” Twilight said, tears aligned her eyes still.

Celestia walks over to Harmonia. “I’m so glad to see that you are okay Harmonia Sparkle, but where is Chrysalis?” she asks slightly concerned.

“..... Chrysalis is gone….. for good.” Harmonia said, her tone full of assurance.

Celestia nods. “I will get the guard and myself to escort the Lover's Stone to restricted area of the castle where nopony will be able to find it or use it.” Celestia said, her voice stern.

Celestia levitates the Lover's Stone in her aura. A guard escorted her and the heart into the restricted section of the castle.

“I think we should hold off on your coordination. Especially after the current events that has happened here recently.” Twilight suggested.

“I couldn't agree more.” Sombra said, looking at Twilight.

Sombra then looks toward Harmonia. “So you are the daughter Twilight has told me so much about.” Sombra said, his voice calm.

Harmonia slowly nods her head. “And your the King Sombra.” Harmonia said, slightly speechless by his appearance.

“Indeed I am.” Sombra said, giving a soft smile.

“Well, I think that is enough of excitement for one day. So let's go home.” Twilight said, wrapping her both of her wings around Harmonia and Sombra.

Four Weeks Later….

“It feels good to have everything back to normal.” HoneyCrisp said, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Indeed! These past eight months have been nothing but a chaotic mess.” Harmonia said, walking the hallways of the School of Friendship.

“Guys remember when Harmonia got us trapped in the detention room? I believe if that never happened then we would have met each other.” Cotton Berry said, recalling on the nonstalgement memory.

“I guess you can say it was a happy accident.” Confetti Pop mutters giggling.

“I'm honestly glad to have meet you all, especially you Harmonia.” Smirks Ophelia.

“Have any of you guys seen Prism? I've been meaning to talk to him.” Harmonia asks to anypony in particular.

“The last time I checked he was outside in the courtyard talking to Meadow Bliss.” HoneyCrisp said.

“Maybe he's still there and I can catch him.” Harmonia mutters to herself.

She then looks at her friends. “I'll be right back.” She said, hurrying off in the direction that Prism was in.

Harmonia watches as Prism Dash soars through the sky.

“.... And remember the time I practically saved you from one of Sombra's evil shadow creatures.” Prism said, his tone slightly boastful.

Harmonia sighs. “.... Yes Prism I was there.” Harmonia said, trying her best to hide her sarcasm.

Prism notices this. “Hey? Are you okay?” He asks, slightly concerned for his friends.

“I'm fine.” Harmonia mumbles.

To tell the truth, Harmonia couldn't stop thinking about what Opeliah said to her the other night.

Prism stops hoovering above her and came to the ground at her level.

“I know something is wrong. We're friends. You can tell me.” Prism said, hoping that the draconequus would confide in him.

But she brushed him off.

Harmonia knew that Prism had feeling for her, but did she really have feeling for him in return?

I mean he has been in love with her since they first met outside of her mother's castle when they were around the ages of five and six.

But now those feelings where… fading?

“This is it! I'm finally going to talk to him and tell him how I feel!” Harmonia said, she watches Prism Dash soars through the sky.

“Hey Prism! Think we could talk for a bit?” Harmonia asks.

Prism stops and meets with Harmonia. “Sure! What's up?” He asks, his tone relaxed.

“Have you ever got this feeling that you have been in love with somepony else, yet you don't know how to tell them?” Harmonia ears downfolded.

Harmonia bit the bottom of her lip. “Prism, I like you.” Harmonia confesses.

Prism blushes. “I like you too.” Prism mutters.

Harmonia looks at him slightly confused. “N-no not in that way…. I mean in that way that your thinking.” Harmonia said, fumbling over her words slightly.

“W-what?” Prism said, slightly speechless.

“What I mean to say is that you are a really great friend. I like you as just a friend.” Harmonia said, giving him a soft friendly smile.

Prism tried not to hide the hurt that just panged through his chest, but he masked it with his personality. “You're a great friend to.” He said, giving a smile.

Harmonia gave a light giggle. “Oh shoot! I just remembered I have Honesty class right after lunch! I have to go.” She said, suddenly remembering.

Prism smirks. “It's okay, you go ahead.” He said.

She gave a soft smile before teleporting away.

Prism then hung his head low, embarrassed by what just happened. “I can't believe she's in love with pretty boy.” Prism thought to himself.

HoneyCrisp and Meadow Bliss notices this, and walks over to him. “Hey sugarcube. Are you okay?” HoneyCrisp asks, her tone soft.

“I- I'm fine.” Prism said, his tone slightly broken.

“Dude, you don't look fine.” Meadow Bliss said, slightly concerned for his friend.

“I said, I'm fine. Look I've got to go.” Prism said, his tone hardened a bit.

HoneyCrisp and Meadow Bliss watch as the stubborn pegasus takes off in the direction of the school's library. “He just got friend zoned by Harmonia. Didn't he?” HoneyCrisp asks.

“Yep.” Meadow Bliss said, his tone calm.

Prism comes to an empty table in the School of Friendship's Library. He had his muzzle buried into a book and sighs. He wasn't really in the mood for reading.

“Hey? Is everything okay? Why the long face?” Asks a familiar voice.

“Yes, everything is okay Honey, now-” Prism stops mid-sentence when he realizes that the voice didn't belong to HoneyCrisp.

He looks up from his book only to be met by Mystic. “Mystic? What are you doing here?” Prism asks slightly confused.

Mystic slightly blushed. “I just came to check up on you. I saw what happened in the courtyard I'm sorry that it had happened to you.”

“It's fine, I guess.” Prism mutters. “What are you really doing here? You don't seem like the type of pony to come and comfort ponies in a time of need.” Prism said.

“Okay, I actually came to see if you knew where my brother was plus don't tell him that I told you this, but I kinda need help on a Friendship problem.” Mystic explains.

“Why come to me? Out of all the ponies to ask to tutor you. Why did you choose me?” Prism asks.

Mystic shrugs. “... Just can you help me or not?” Mystic said, her tone slightly impatient.

She shoves the papers towards Prism. “I can try, but no guarantee that it would be right considering the state that I'm in at the moment.” Prism said, after looking over the paperwork.

Mystic takes back the homework and looks at him. “It's okay, we can talk about this later. My mom sent me to this school to become a better friend. So I guess you are my first “friendship case” I need to help or something.” Mystic explains.

Prism looks at her slightly confused by what she was implying. Mystic gives him an unnamed look. “I'm here to give you advice. So want to talk about it?” Mystic tone was blunt.

Prism sighs. "I tried to act like I was somepony cool when I was around her." Prism explains.

"But, you’re already cool." Mystic said, slightly blushing.

"Um. Thanks?" Prism said, giving a off look to the unicorn.

"But, I guess that's just how being in love goes you act like a complete fool by trying hard to impress somepony you barely know." He mumbles.

"I just find the whole thing so frustrating." Prism said, banging his head to the desk.

"It sounds frustrating." Mystic said, letting her bottom lip poke out.

"So, I came to the decision that I'm swearing off of dating." Prism said.

"Oh dear Celestia." Mutters Mystic, her eyes going wide.

"I guess my chances of dating him, just got shot in the dark." Mystic mutters to herself.

However, Prism overheard.

"What did you say?" Prism asks.

Mystic's eyes widened. "What? Umm... this friendship question. I do not get any of this." she said, handing the pegasus her homework.

"The Element of Loyalty and Honest, are practically the same Element." Prism said, over looking the problem.

"Ooh, thanks. You’re so smart." Mystic said, blushing.

Two months later….

“I can't believe this day has finally came. After everything that has happened I thought that my crowning would have to wait for another year or so.” Harmonia said, she couldn't help but keep touching her crown.

“After everything you have been through you definitely deserve it.” Illusion said, giving her a small smile.

“You look very beautiful, Harmonia.” Prism said.

“Indeed!” Mystic said, smiling at her. She actually looked happy for once.

“Wait- When did you two get together?” Cotton Berry wonders.

“Oh it's a wonderful story.” Beams Mystic.

“Did it involve a musical number.” Smirks Confetti Pop.

“I believe it did.” Smiles Mystic, who was still swooning over Prism.

“Well they are both made for each other. You two are both have major ego problems.” Snarks Illusion, but gives them a playful smile.

Mystic rolled her eyes at her brother, but looks at Prism. “Oh, I love this song. Come dance with me Prizmmy.” Mystic said.

“Fine. Only for you.” Prism said, leading the two towards the dance floor.

Harmonia continues to greet her guests and giving thanks to the ones congratulating her.

“Congratulations princess.” Said one of her guests.

“Thank you.” Harmonia said, smiling at her.

“Do you mind if I have this dance, Princess Fuzzball?” Asks a familiar voice.

Harmonia turns around to come face to face with Discord.

“O-of course.” Mumbles Harmonia, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

Discord held out his paw and guides his daughter to the center of the ballroom. “I am so proud of the young lady- er draconequus- you have turned into. I know you will make a great princess with your mother's help.” Discord said.

That statement made Harmonia tear up even more. She embraced her dad in a hug. “Oh Dad.” Harmonia said, a soft smile played onto her lips.

Illusion watches from afar, quietly observing and smiling at the scene before him. He patiently waited for Harmonia to finished. He breathes a sigh of relief, once he realizes she was free. “Hey, Harmonia. Would you care to dance?” Illusion asks, holding out his hoof.

Harmonia blushes. “I actually just got done not to long ago dancing with dad, but I would love to.” she mutters.

Illusion smirks at her then whisks her away onto the dance floor.

The two danced elegantly, lightly gliding across the smooth shiny floor. “You dance beautifully, your highness.” Illusion said, his tone light, airy and somewhat romantic.

Harmonia blushes. “Please just call me Harmonia. I'm not all into titles yet, I don't want anypony to address me with that form of title especially my friends unless it's of importances only.” Harmonia explains.

“Got it!” Illusion said.

“So Princ- I mean Harmonia- do you have any new laws to bend upon Equestria since you are crowned?” Illusion asks, his tone playful.

“Who are you the news reporter?” Harmonia asks, her tone bashfully.

Illusion smirks at her. “I'm just trying to figure who you are.”

“You already know who I am. I'm just a simple mare who wants to make everyone happy, but now I've got to find my own happiness. Which I think I have.” Harmonia said, softly smiling.

Illusion smiles back. The song then shifts to a different soundtrack. “Mind if I cut in darling?” Ophelia purrs.

Illusion looks at Ophelia and gave a nod. “Of course.If you need me Harmonia I will be right over there.” Illusion said, before vanishing into the crowd of party goes.

Harmonia nods. “So what was you and pretty boy talking about?” Ophelia said.

“Just stuff.” Mutters Harmonia.

“Oh, really?” Ophelia teases as she smirks at the newly crowned princess.

They glide the shiny ballroom floor with elegance and grace, the dance lasted for a soild 10 minutes.

Ophelia gave a gentle smile to Harmonia. “Thank you for the dance.” Mutters Harmonia.

“No problem darling.” Ophelia said.

“But…. I think I need more time. I mean after everything that has happened-” Harmonia said, trying her best to explain, but Harmonia was cut off by Ophelia kind, but flirtatious gaze.

“It's okay, darling. I understand.” The young feline whispers softly.

Ophelia then leaves Harmonia to tend to her own thoughts before her mother, her mother's personal guard and Aunt Starlight came over to her.

“Sweetheart, I am so proud of you. I love you very much.” Twilight said.

“I love you too.” Harmonia said, but she couldn't help but keep her mind off of other things.

“I know I may have not have been the perfect husband to you, but I want to make up for that now.” Sombra explains.

“Sombra?” Twilight questions, wondering where this was heading.

“I guess what I'm trying to say is… will you marry me?” Sombra asks, his tone bashful.

Twilight was speechless. “I-”

“I think you broke my mom.” Harmonia said, giggling as she waves her paw in front of Twilight.

“I understand if you would rather wait. I mean after everything you have been through I completely understand your decision if you decide to wait. But I promise not only to you, but to you as well Harmonia Sparkle that I will be the best father like figure I can be to you- and my own daughter Stormy. ” Sombra continues.

“Mom? Say something.” Harmonia said, slightly worried.

Twilight took Sombra's small speech into account. After what felt like forever of waiting for an answer, she finally came to her choice. “Of course I'll marry you.” Twilight said, as a huge grin plastered on her face.

Sombra then kisses Twilight, from afar Twilight's friends watch, all smiling.

“Hey! You know what this calls for?” Pinkie Pie asks, her tone bubbly.

“Planning wedding number 2 next year?” Fluttershy asks.

“Heck yeah we are!” Rainbow Dash said, pumping her hoof into the air.
