Meanwhile with the others...

"I'm telling you, there's something weird going on with Juniper Montage and a mirror." Mo told the others.

"Are you sure, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Yes, Atticus and I saw it with our own eyes!" Mo replied. "We did a little spy work."

"Well, then let's talk with her." Pinkie Pie said.

"Come on, then, she's at the concession stand." Mo nodded.

The others nodded as they went that way.

"Mirror, pick up this popcorn!" Juniper demanded.

'Wonder if it also follows her demands.' Mo thought to herself.

Nothing seemed to happen.

"Mirror, I command thee, pick upeth this poppage of corn!" Juniper commanded.

Cherry just snickered at that.

"Looks like the mirror doesn't do commands." Mo smirked.

"Ugh!" Juniper complained. "Why won't this thing work anymore?" She then grabbed the popcorn shovel and was about to put it on the floor.

"Like... We were gonna eat some of that." A patron told Juniper as she stood with her friend.

"Mirror, make these annoying people go away!" Juniper glared.

The two looked to each other and soon left.

"Well, that kinda worked..." Juniper shrugged.

'That mirror is now being random.' Mo thought to herself.


"Juniper Montage?!" Pinkie Pie squealed.

Juniper yelped and dropped the popcorn shovel.

"What in the blazes are you doin' here?" Applejack asked.

"Were you invited to the Daring Do premiere?" Pinkie added. "Ooh, that's exciting! No, crazy! No, concerning! No! Just no! No offense."

"I wasn't invited to the premiere," Juniper explained. "My Uncle Canter Zoom felt bad for firing me, so he pulled some strings and got me this job."

"Well, that's good and I see you have a fancy mirror." Mo said.

"Why, thank you." Juniper replied.

"So, you work here?" Fluttershy asked.

"As little as possible." Juniper muttered.

"Must be a pain." Mo said.

"Y'know, if you hadn't tried to sabotage the movie, you could be celebrating with us." Rainbow Dash pointed out.

"Ooh! This should be my night!" Juniper glared bitterly. "I would have found a way to be in the film if you all had stayed out of it! I would have been Daring Do! Everyone would've loved me! See?"

Patch was soon seen about to get the Equestrian magic mirror.

"Can't you see what's right under your noses?" Juniper glared at the others. "Ugh! I wish you'd all just go away and leave me alone!"

"Uh-oh, girls, we better run now." Mo said as she saw the mirror glow as she started to run from it.

Everyone tried to run away, but soon enough, they were engulfed into the mirror.

"Girls!" Patch cried out.

Juniper heard him and looked at his direction. Patch smiled nervously to Juniper and soon barked like a real dog would. He soon acted fast and grabbed the mirror with his mouth.

"Hey, let go of that, you miserable cur!" Juniper glared.

Patch soon ran off with the mirror.

"Bring that back!" Juniper glared.

Patch ran as fast as he could.


With Sunset, Starlight, and Atticus...

"How's the ice cream, Starlight?" Atticus smiled

"So sweet." Starlight smiled back.

"Great, just don't-" Atticus started.

Starlight licked the ice cream, though began to make a mess on herself.

"I guess I should have seen that coming." Atticus smiled.

Starlight smiled back bashfully to Atticus.

"All these cell phones, all straight to voicemail." Sunset frowned as she couldn't get a hold of anybody.

"I'm sure they're around," Starlight shrugged as she licked her frozen dairy treat. "What's the worst that could have happened?"

"With Juniper Montage and her magic mirror; I'd hate to imagine." Atticus said.

"Magic is on the loose here now, and it does not work the same way it does back in Equestria," Sunset sighed with anxiety. "Any number of terrible things could have happened. And lately, I spend 80% of my time thinking about them. My friends are probably fine. I'm overreacting. But maybe not. I can't tell anymore."

"You have been a little tense lately..." Atticus admitted. "I didn't wanna say anything unless that'd make you snap."

They soon saw Patch running with the mirror.

"Patch?" Atticus asked before calling out and whistling. "Patch? Come here, boy!"

Patch turned his head and soon ran to Atticus. Once he was close enough, Patch put down the mirror. Atticus bent down and picked up the mirror and recognized it instantly. "This is the mirror that Juniper Montage found."

"Yes, and she's trapped the others in it." Patch panted.

"Did she wish that they were gone or something?" Atticus asked.

"Yes, she wished they would all go away, but I got away before the magical force could get me, so I took the mirror and came to find you to help." Patch nodded to his owner.

"Well, I'm not sure if I can use it." Atticus said.

"Can't you at least try?" Patch asked.

"It might not be that simple..." Atticus sighed as he took the mirror from his dog and wiped off the drool from the handle.

"Try wishing for it to free the girls." Sunset said.

"Okay..." Atticus said before taking a deep breath. "Mirror, I wish you would let my friends go!"

Nothing seemed to happen.

"Mirror?" Atticus glared. "I said I wish you would let my friends go!"

The mirror didn't seem to glow at all.

"Why won't this work?!" Atticus pouted. "I didn't think it would, but come on."

"I guess it only works for Juniper Montage." Patch pouted back.

"Looks like we'll need Juniper to make the wish." Atticus groaned.

"What if she doesn't want to?" Starlight asked Atticus.

"She's working at the movie theater and this mirror seems to be the only thing that gives her joy," Atticus said. "She'll do anything to have it back."

"So, what do we do now?" Patch asked.

"We go to the movie theater, but Starlight, you stay out of sight in case this doesn't work." Atticus said.

"Oh... Um... Okay..." Starlight replied.


They soon went to the mall movie theater.

"So, what's the plan, Atticus?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah, what's the plan?" Patch added.

"We give Juniper her mirror back, but with a price." Atticus replied.

"Sounds perfect." Patch smiled.

Atticus nodded and went to the movie theater with the others, wondering what was going on with them.

"Uh... Any clue yet where we are or what just happened?" Rarity asked. "Anyone?"

"Pinkie Pie's on the case!" Pinkie Pie beamed before she actually broke the fourth wall. "Nope, no wall over here. Come out, come out, walls, wherever you are! I don't get this place! There's no walls in here anywhere!"

"I think we might be in the mirror." Mo said.

"Or into some kind of limbo behind it." Sci-Twi shrugged.

"I think I might be freaking out a little bit." Fluttershy stated quietly.

"Let's just stay calm and wait." Mo said.

"On the upside, there's popcorn in here!" Pinkie Pie smiled before eating popcorn. "Mmm, sticky..."

"How could this happen on the evening of my very first movie premiere?" Rarity gasped. "Of all the nights! Curse you, cruel fate!"

"Not our big problem right now." Cherry deadpanned.

"I'm sure Atticus will save us." Mo said.

"Unless you're a princess in another castle." Cherry smirked.

"Why are you always so sarcastic?!" Mo complained.

"It's my coping mechanism!" Cherry whined.


Meanwhile, back with the others...

"It's Juniper Montage!" Sunset called out.

"Gotcha." Atticus smirked.

They soon walked up to her with the mirror behind Atticus's back.

"You!" Juniper glared. "You own that spotted mutt!"

"His name is Patch..." Atticus glared as he didn't like it when people called his dog names like that. "And I just wanna talk."

"What do you want to talk about?" Juniper glared.

"Oh, well, I wanted to see how you were doing..." Atticus replied. "Have you seen my girlfriend anywhere?"

"No." Juniper lied.

"Strange... Because I could've sworn she was coming by to pick up refreshments for the movie premiere..." Atticus said as he circled her like a detective in an interrogation. "I may not be like Batman, but I sure know a fibber when I see one~"

"I'm not lying." Juniper lied.

"Trust me, I believe you are..." Atticus replied.

Juniper soon looked behind his back as he circled her and saw that he had the mirror that she had wanted back. "That's mine!" She glared.

"What's yours?" Atticus asked.

"You know exactly what I mean!" Juniper glared. "Your dog stole my mirror!"

"Oh, you mean this?" Atticus smirked as he showed the magic mirror.

"Give me that!" Juniper demanded as she reached out for it.

"Not just yet, you have to agree to wish for Mo and the girls to be freed from inside it." Atticus said.

"Why would I do that?" Juniper glared.

"Because if you don't, then you won't get your mirror back." Atticus glared back.

"Give it to me!" Juniper glared.

"Bring me my friends back!" Atticus retorted.

"Fine." Juniper groaned.

Atticus smirked.

"Okay..." Juniper said before taking a deep breath. "I WISH THESE OTHERS WOULD ALSO GO AWAY!"

Atticus yelped and flinched, but nothing happened to him.

"Huh?" Juniper wondered.

Patch thought back to something he learned during his familiar studies with a certain black cat.


"Now, Patch, remember, other magic, such as Equestrian magic, can't counteract Atticus in this realm, so he'll be protected, and so will you if you are with him." Salem educated.

"What about any others?" Patch asked.

"They should be fine as well," Salem replied. "So, let's say if someone had Equestrian magic and tried to use it on Atticus, it would fade away, like Merlin's magic on dragons."

"Whew!" Patch sighed. "That's good."


Poof!

"Ah..." Patch smirked once he remembered that.

"What is your deal?!" Juniper glared at the mirror while Atticus kept her from getting it.

"It's because Equestrian magic has no affect on him." Patch smirked.

"What does that mean?!" Juniper asked.

"I'm a Wiccan, ever hear of us? I thought not." Atticus replied as he kept the mirror away from Juniper.

"Give it back!" Juniper glared.

"You made a promise with me, why should I keep one with you only for it to break?" Atticus glared back.

"Something is going on with the mirror." Patch said.

Atticus soon took out the mirror, but kept it out of Juniper's reach to take a look at it, and where he noticed his geode glowing.

"Atticus..." Patch whispered. "Your geode..."

Atticus soon looked down to his geode as it glowed. He soon saw it shoot into the mirror along with three other colors while seven colors seemed to come from the inside of it.


The others seemed to be trying to get out from the mirror.

"What is going on?" Sunset wondered.

"I'm not sure." Mo said.

Juniper reached for the mirror. Atticus kept it away from her with a glare while looking at his geodes from Camp Everfree. Juniper soon jumped and got the mirror back.

"Hey!" Atticus glared.

"Looks like it's mine now, Wiccan Boy~" Juniper smirked. "Now let me try that again."

"Don't you dare!" Patch growled.

"Mirror, I wish these fools would all go away!" Juniper demanded.

The mirror soon granted her wish, and where this time, due to Atticus's geode glowing, it worked.

"Uh-oh..." Patch whimpered.

Juniper grinned rather sadistically.


Atticus, Sunset, and Patch were soon in the mirror with the girls.

"Cherry, I think you should move." Sci-Twi said.

"Don't you like me in Canterlot High?" Cherry asked.

CRASH!

"Ow, that's why..." Cherry groaned.

"What happened?" Mo asked.

"We're in the mirror..." Atticus said before sitting up.

"I thought you couldn't be affected by Equestrian Magic?" Mo asked him.

"I think it might have something to do with my geode." Atticus said.

Cherry soon crawled across the floor and stood up, dusting herself clean.

"Oh, hi, Cherry, when did you get here?" Atticus asked.

Cherry firmly growled before looking at his geode. "Uh, Atticus?" She asked.

"What?" Atticus asked back.

"Your geode." Cherry said.

"It's glowing, I know..." Atticus shrugged. "What can ya do?"

"Um, everyone?" Fluttershy said in her quiet voice.

"This is great, Atticus, you had to get stuck here, and now nobody knows where we are!" Cherry glared in annoyance.

"Guys?" Fluttershy spoke again.

"Well, Starlight Glimmer actually might." Atticus said.

"You mean Twilight's student back in Equestria?" Rarity asked.

"Yep, me and Sunset brought her to the human world." Atticus said.

"You really think Princess Twilight would be okay with that?" Applejack asked.

"We don't know for sure that she wouldn't be okay with it." Sunset shrugged.

"Um, so sorry to interrupt, but-" Fluttershy tried again.

"Uh, guys, something's going on with your geodes." Patch said.

"That's what I was trying to say." Fluttershy sighed.

"They're almost like in a pattern." Mo said.

"Something's changed," Sci-Twi commented. "This wasn't happening before."

"Maybe it's because all eleven of us are together now." Sunset wondered.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Applejack asked.

"Bad thing." Mo said.

Everyone soon panicked about the sudden magic that their geodes were causing.

"Atticus, I want out of here, right NOW!" Cherry demanded.

"What do you want me to do?!" Atticus glared.

The magic soon worked its way to Juniper.
