When morning came, Princess Celestia woke up and then she went to Chloe and Aylene's bedroom to say to them good morning, but when she opened the doors to the bedrom and entered inside, she looked in shock to find that the bedroom is completely messed up and she also found Aylene still lying down unconscious, and so she quickly went up to the Pegasus filly and then she tried to wake her up by saying to her "Aylene, talk to me! What happened?!", and once Aylene responded and slowly gained back her consciousness, Celestia cried and asked her in deep concern "Aylene, where's Chloe?! Where is she?! what happened to you two?!", and Aylene weakly answered as she's barely able to talk "Chloe...got...filly-napped...by...gorillas...", and when Celestia heard what Aylene said, she gasped in shock and deep concern, and then she cried as she held Aylene tightly in her hooves and embraced her "Don't worry, Aylene! You'll be okay! Just hold on!", and then she used her magic to surround Chloe in a golden aura so she can take her along with her, and then she trotted out of the bedroom while taking Aylene along with her to inform Luna about Chloe's disappearance.

After she managed to find Luna and inform her about Chloe's disappearance, Celestia wrote and sent a letter for the mane seven so they can help her and Luna search and find Chloe, and once they answered the letter, the mane seven went to meet Celestia in the royal castle as soon as possible to help and Luna start searching for Chloe in hopes to find her and bring her back home. Once Aylene has fully recovered, she joined them and helped them all in searching for Chloe, and she, like Celestia, also hoped that Chloe is okay, and the ten ponies started to search for Chloe everywhere in Canterlot and then in Ponyville in hopes they'll be able to find her and bring her back home, and even after they didn't found her anywhere, they still continued to search again and again in hopes that they'll be able to find Chloe and bring her back home.

Meanwhile, back at the middle of the dark cave, the now petrified Chloe is standing endlessly in the same place, but deep inside her mind, Chloe is still alive. deep inside her mind, Chloe found herself in an empty white space, and then she looked around herself and then she called "Hello?", and then she asked "Is anyone there?", and then she started to walk and look around as she wandered aimlessly in the white space. However, after wandering aimlessly in the white space, Chloe is suddenly being approached from the front by a middle-aged man who appeared to be around his fifties or so, but Chloe was so impressed by how did he looked like. The middle-aged man, despite he had greying hair, still had face that still looked only a bit young and handsome for a middle-aged man around his own age, and he also had a greying mustache and a short greying beard, a blue shirt, olive green pants, a brown jacket, black shoes, and to the top of it - the middle-aged man also had a couple of white feathery angel wings on his back as well as a golden halo above his head, and he also had a kind smile on his face as he slowly approached Chloe.

"Oh, hi there, girl!", the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up and said to Chloe, who just stood there a bit nervous and she didn't know what to say to him back, but then she suddenly gained encouragement from herself and then she said back to him "Hi there, stranger!", and then the middle-aged man asked her "What are you doing out here all by yourself?", and Chloe answered "Well, I sort of turned into stone, well, on the outside, but not on the inside.", and then the middle-aged man said to her "I see." and then he asked her "Anyway, who are you?", and Chloe hesitated at first but then she suddenly gained encouragement from herself once again, and then she answered "I'm Chloe. Chloe Williams.", and then the middle-aged man said to her as he also introduced himself "Well, anyway, I'm Jack Williams. By the way, it's nice to meet you, Chloe.".

However, when Chloe heard what Jack suddenly said about his family name being Williams just like hers, Chloe became confused and so she asked "How could that be?", and Jack answered "Well, it's what a coincidence!", and then he added "Anyway, my son is Jeff. Jeff Williams.", but when Chloe heard what he said about his son being Jeff Williams, who is coincidentally her father, Chloe asked "Wait, are you talking about my father, don't you?", and then Jack said to her "Well, if you wanna know some more, my wife is Elizabeth. Elizabeth Dodson Williams, or in other words, Elizabeth Williams.".

When Chloe heard Jack was referring her father as his son and her grandmother as his wife, she tried to think and figure out who Jack is really for her, and after she got things clearly understood, she realized what Jack Williams supposed to be for her - Jack Williams is her grandfather whom she never met before, and the reason to this it's because he died long before she was born, so this means in other words that Chloe is actually looking at his living soul which actually appears to look both like an angel but also like his true and actual self, and this made Chloe shocked and surprised to know that the middle-aged man who's name is Jack Williams is in fact her grandfather, who is also the deceased father of her father, Jeff, the father-in-law of her mother, Jane, and the paternal grandfather of her older brother, Mike.

"You're...my GRANDFATHER?!" Chloe asked in shock, and Jack Williams answered "Yes, I am.", and then he added "And it's also good to meet you for the first time, Chloe.", and then Chloe asked him "What are we going to do now?", and then Jack Williams answered "I'm going to take you with me to the past of our family, back in time to the times your father was around your own age, and this will also show you how did he became such an unhealthy drunk for the VERY first time long before you're born, but also to the day I died, which will mark the end of my life story.", and then he stretched his arm to his granddaughter and said to her "Now touch and hold tight onto my hand, Chloe. I'm going to use my spirit abilities to take us both to the past!", and Chloe listened and grabbed tightly onto his hand and didn't let go, and then she said to her grandfather "I'm ready!", and so Jack Williams used his spirit abilities to engulf both Chloe and himself in a white light, thus taking both her and himself into the past of Chloe's family, to the times long before she was born.

Shortly afterwards, Chloe and Jack arrived at a house that was in good and healthy conditions, and then Jack said to Chloe "This house is my house, where Elizabeth and I lived together with our son, Jeff.", and then after he said that, a young boy who is approximately around her own age (11 years-old) came out of the house and started to play outside with his friends, and that's when Chloe asked "This young boy is my father?", and then Jack answered "Yes, you're right, this is your father, who is also my son, and he's playing with his friends all together.", and then he added "This is long before he became an unhealthy drunk for the very first time.", and then he showed Chloe how her father, Jeff, as an 11 years-old boy is enjoying lots of fun with his friends, and then he took Chloe forward in time to the future that made Jeff more an unhealthy drunk and less a kind and fun-loving boy/man, but he only showed her everything slowly and carefully, little by little.

Then, Chloe and Jack arrived at the time Jeff was 14 years-old, where he was still a fun-loving teenage boy with yet a still good attitude, but this is the right point in which he started to change forever, as Chloe and Jack saw Jeff sudenly entering a dark alley to search for his missing football, and then they saw him encountering an unhealthy drunk woman sitting down with her back lying against the dead end wall of the dark alley with Jeff's football in her hands, and this where Jeff asked the drunk woman "Oh, hi there, stranger! Can you please give me my football back?", and the drunk woman said with a weak but also evil smirk "Sure thing, kid.", but then she added "The only way for you to get your football back is just by coming closer to me and then I'll give you your fooball.", before she let out a hiccup, and then Jeff said to her, being completely unaware of how dangerous she is "Okay, here I go!", and then he started to walk slowly towards the drunk woman and once he got close enough to her, she said to him "What a good boy!", and then she brought his football close to him and added "Now take your football and go!", and Jeff naively stretched his arms to the drunk woman as he's about to take his football back from her, but before he can actually get back his football, the drunk lady suddenly grabbed at him right wrist and then she slowly stood up on her feet and said wickedly "Do you really think I'll let you get your football back without a fight?!", and then she let out another hiccup and then she added "To get your football back, you need to fight against me and win! Because if you don't - you're mine!", and then she started to grab in a very tight and firm grip on Jeff's wrist which made him to let out a yelp and he tried to get away from her, but at first, to no avail.

Then, however, Jeff had no choice but to punch the drunk woman in the face, thus knocking her off her feet, before he quickly picked up his football (which she dropped from her hands) and started to run away with it for his life, but his run for his life turned into a pursuit as the drunk woman slowly gained back her consciousness, and then she started to chase after him, though in a bit funny way like a zombie who is trying to get to his victim, but Jeff was fast enough to escape with his football, but not before the drunk woman threw a bottle of whiskey which hit him directly in the face, thus temporarily blinding his sight as he yelped in pain because of the whiskey which also started to burn in his eyes, but despite suffering from the pain, Jeff was able to escape the dark alley with his football and go all the way back home to wash his face and clean his eyes from the whiskey which the drunk woman threw directly at him.

Then, Jack said to Chloe "That drunk woman who attacked my son was Catherine Peterson, or in other words, Catherine Peterson Yosefsberg.", and when he said this, Chloe gasped in shock and then she asked him "So, does that means that this drunk woman is actually Yigal, Gilad and Ezra's mother?!", and Jack answered "I thought you'll never say that, Chloe.", and then he added "But I can see that you already know the truth.", and then Chloe said "Yes, I do!", and then she said "Thanks to seeing her, I'm able to understand who exactly is Yigal and his brothers' mother, but I never thought she was an unhealthy drunk like my is today!".

Then, Jack took Chloe with him to the time Jeff was almost 18 years-old, and this is when Catherine Peterson suddenly showed up and kidnapped him, because this time, she wanted to have Jeff as one of her own children, and she even introduced him to her own children as their new brother, though Yigal (who was only 14 years-old at the time) was intolerant towards him, but a week later, Jeff was found and is taken back to his real parents, while Catherine is taken by the police and was later put in jail for a sentence of 20 years in prison for kidnapping Jeff in an attempt to make him one of her own, but not before she made Jeff a drunk himself, and thus leaving Ezra to be in charge of the family because their father died a very long time ago, when Ezra was 9, Gilad was 6, and Yigal was just 3 years-old.

However, in prison, Catherine managed to create to gemone mutations to make Tony Black and the other animals (except for Einhorn and Russell) come to life for the first time, because after she lost her old nature as a drunk, she became a mad scientist who is able to create animals with rare and impossible color mutations. This is where Jack took Chloe along with him to the time Jeff was 21 years-old, at the time he started to become an unhealthy drunk on his own, which displeased both Jack and Elizabeth.

Then, Jack said to Chloe "This is where everything bad started its awful progress as my son started to become an unhealthy drunk on his own, and Elizabeth and I didn't liked it at all, and we knew that it could eventually destroy his life forever, and yet one day, it did.", and then he showed that at the same time, Jeff was in love with Jane, which was at least the only thing that pleased both him (Jack) and Elizabeth, before Jack and Chloe traveled in time to the time after Jeff and Jane got married, and it was the time when Mike (who was born when Jeff was 24 and when Jane was 20, respectively) was just a year-old, which means it's the time when Jeff was 25 and when Jane was 21, respectively.

At this time, however, Jack turned to Chloe and then he said to her "Now this the year where I was going to die, Chloe.", and then he asked her "You're sure you wanna watch this happening?", and Chloe said with determination "Yes, I want.", and then she watched as Jack yelled angrily at Jeff for drinking too much alcohol (whiskey for an instance) continuously, and he said to him "You deliberately disobeyed me! How could you do this to me?!", but Jeff only said back in an extremely insulting tone "Because I love to drink whiskey all the time, father. And by the way, you can't tell me what to do anymore because I'm already a father for a baby son.", and this is when Jack lifted up his right foot and then he slammed it to the floor and yelled "That's it, son! I've done it with you! Elizabeth and I should just leave you and your wife and son alone if you dare to do this to us!", and this is where Jack turned around, opened the exit door and started to run away from his house, and then Elizabeth tried to join him too, but she's stopped by Jane who blocked her way before she said to her with an evil tone "You're not going anywhere! Face it, your husband is both a coward and a fool who is always unwilling to face and fight any dangers that threatens families' lives!", but then Elizabeth cried "You're wrong! Now get out of my way!", but then Jane punched her on the side of her face and knocked her unconscious, before she turned to her drunk husband and then she said to him "Go after that stupid excuse for a father of yours and teach him a REAL lesson about how people's lives supposed to be!", and Jeff said to her without turning his head as he looked at the exit door Jack had left wide open, before the young drunk suddenly started to run out of his house to search for his father, but this time, he surprisingly had full strength like a healthy man, and then he started searching everywhere for his father, until he found him crossing the road in an attempt to get to the other side, but he also saw behind himself (when he turned around) an old and crumbling building which was about to collapse directly on him.

Then, when Jack turned back and saw the old building was about to collapse direcly on Jeff, this is when Jack decided to run back across the road to save his son from getting killed, and before the old building was about to collapse at him, Jack jumped in the way and pushed Jeff aside and out of the way, before the old building finally collapsed directly on Jack, thus burying him under the fallen debris, but despite this, Jack actually survived before he burst out of the fallen debris, but he got seriously injured and wounded by the fallen debris which fell on him, and he barely looked at his son in the eyes, before he suddenly fell off his own feet and down to the ground, much to Jeff's displeasure.

Then, Jack barely looked up at his son and then he cried and begged "Please! Help me, my son! Call the ambulance! I need a hospital! If you won't help, I will die!", but Jeff just looked down at his injured father with an evil smirk, before he just said "Goodbye, father!" and then he turned and left his own father to slowly succumb to his injuries and eventually die, and when Jack called for him to come back to help him, Jeff just ignored him and continued to walk, and once he was too far away from his father, Jeff said to himself "A drunk like me doesn't need a stupid and weak father like him. Now that I have a wife and a son, I don't need him around anymore.", and then Jeff let out a lowly and evil chuckle as he continued to walk from his dying father all the way back to his home, and once Jack cannot see his son anymore, this is when he finally succumbed to his injuries, and that's how he eventually died.

When Chloe saw everything in front of her eyes, she gasped in shock before she covered her mouth, and then tears started to form and roll down her eyes as she started to cry upon seeing how her own grandfather died long before she was born, and that's when Jack's spirit placed both of his arms around her and then he pulled her into a tight and loving embrace as tears started to form and roll down his eyes as well, and once he calmed her down with his embrace, Jack said to his granddaughter "That's exactly how I died. I saved my son, and he dumped me to die. Now you know everything about your father's past, as well as about me too.", and once he unwrapped his arms from around Chloe and stepped aback to give her some space, he said to her "When my son, Jeff, returned back home, Elizabeth have already gained back her consciousness, and when she asked him what happened to me, he told her that I died, and this broke her heart, but he also stated that I died like a fool when I tried to save him, and he showed no regret for his actions towards me, neither for his hateful words he said about me, because he saw me as an obstacle to his life, and so he thought that if I die, he'll be able to do whatever he wants for the rest of his life, and this is the end of Jeff's life story before you're born.".

Then, Chloe said to him as she wiped away the tears from her eyes "No, that's not true at all, grandfather! You're not a fool, my father is! you saved him and he left you to die! And despite Elizabeth managed to prevent him from drinking whiskey when she was still alive before and after the time I was born, Jeff returned to his personality as an unhealthy drunk after she died too.", and then Jack said to her "I see. But now, it's time for us to say goodbye to each other, but I still want you to know I'll be living in your heart.", and then he said "Goodbye, Chloe.", before he used his spirit abilities to make himself vanish and disappear, and this made Chloe to cry "Grandfather! Please come back! Don't leave me!", and then she started to cry before she suddenly got engulfed in a white light, before Chloe's stone statue suddenly started to break into pieces to reveal Chloe coming back to normal at last.

Once Chloe have finally returned back to normal, she suddenly started to look around to see that she's no longer in the dark cave, and she found out that right now she's standing in the meadow where she, Aylene, the CMC and the young six used to play together, and then she said "I'm finally out of that dark cave. I'm free at last. I'm almost back home.", and then she started to hear voices calling out her name, and when she turned around, she saw Aylene, Celestia, Luna, Thorax, Pharynx and the mane seven all coming towards her, and so she started to run towards them and then she jumped up and landed in front of Celestia, who then wrapped both her hooves and her wings around Chloe and they're soon locked in a tight and loving embrace, as Chloe also started to wrap her arms around Celestia's neck to hug her back in a loving embrace, and then tears started to form and roll down their eyes, before Aylene and Thorax also joined the hug as they also started to wrap their hooves and wings around Chloe, and the human girl got locked in a tight and loving embrace between and with her mother, her father, and her sister, as tears formed and rolled down their eyes, and when Luna, Pharynx and the mane seven watched them all from a distance, they're all happy to see a beautiful family reunion happening right in front of their eyes.

Then, Celestia said "My daughter is okay! Now we can all go home!", and then she used her magic to levitate Chloe and then she place her down on her back, and then Chloe held tightly onto the lower parts of Celestia's neck so she won't fall off when Celestia will fly into the sky, and when Celestia started to fly, Chloe held tightly onto the lower parts of Celestia's neck, while Aylene and Thorax flew to the sky after them on their own to catch up with them and join them as they all flew back to the royal castle, and then they're followed by Luna, Pharynx, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy who all flew back to Canterlot after them, and Twilight used her magic to make Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Starlight and Rarity fly along with them too, and once they all arrived back in Canterlot, everyone finally landed at some point near the royal castle, and then everyone took Chloe along as they all entered the royal castle, and once they all reached back to the throne room, Celestia gave Chloe another tight and loving embrace, and then she said to Chloe that it's time for her to go to her bedroom to sleep, and that's when everypony and every creature (the mane seven, Thorax and Pharynx) said goodbye to Chloe, before she (and Aylene) went together back to their bedroom, and when nighttime came, the two soon fell asleep together.
