"Please stop," Baby Northstar continued. "This is all a big mistake!" She wasn't normally the most out-going pony in Pony Land, but this was important. She had everyone's attention and she was going to get her point across. "Both of you think the other is the monster! You're both wrong. The witches turned you both against each other so that there wouldn't be so many ponies to fight for Dream Valley. It's the witches' fault that all of you are fighting."
Both groups were speechless, even Baby Quackers was caught by surprise by Baby Northstar's sudden burst of courage. Twilight winked over to the Big Brothers' camp and watched as Baby Northstar desperately tried to stop everyone from fighting.
"You don't have to fight each other any more," Baby Northstar explained. "Neither one of you wants to fight, you just think you're protecting yourselves, but you aren't." Sid walked toward the baby ponies and turned to Baby Quackers.
"Is she for real?" he whispered. Baby Quackers nodded. As they looked around, they noticed a lot of open mouths and stunned expressions.
"She's telling the truth!" Sid shouted. He looked back at his family. More and more dragons were approaching the entrance of the cave. He knew that if a member from both sides was explaining the misunderstanding, there would be more of a chance that people would believe them. He was right. The Big Brothers began backing away from the cave and allowing the dragons outside.
"But you attacked Dream Valley," said Chief.
"Only because the witches told us that you were coming to attack us," said one of the older dragons. "You're the ones that trapped us in this cave."
"We were just protecting our families," said Wigwam. "We had to keep you from getting to them."
"See," said Baby Northstar. "This was all just a big misunderstanding."
"Wow, we are so sorry," said Chief. "I can't believe it took us so long to finally figure this out."
The dragons and the Big Brothers began crowding around the entrance of the cave, apologizing for the years of fighting and misunderstandings. Within a few minutes, everyone was at least chuckling over the stupidity of letting the witches turn everyone against each other. Twilight, however, was even more depressed than she had been when she got there. Her husband had died for no reason.
As she turned to find Baby Quackers and Baby Northstar, she caught sight of something that grabbed her attention. 4-Speed appeared in the entrance of the cave. He squinted from the light, which he hadn't seen in a very, very long time. The second his eyes adjusted, he found himself staring at a very surprised Twilight. The two of them ran toward each other and embraced.
"I thought you were dead!" Twilight sobbed. She allowed herself to break down in front of him.
"So did I," 4-Speed whispered. He tried to be strong, but a few tears were able to escape and ran down his face.
