The next morning, Agatha and Sweetie Belle left the cave and then they traveled together all the way from the Everfree Forest to Ponyville to show everypony that Agatha have changed and that she really wants to be good after being whipped on her back twice by Yigal, and later to be framed and chased away by Buldeo. However, when they arrived in Ponyville, Agatha and Sweetie Belle knew that they'll have to keep low profile in order to not get any unwanted attention so they won't be framed and chased away from Ponyville.
The first place they both went to is to Sweet Apple Acres to ask Applejack to listen to them for a minute so she may (or can) understand that Agatha now wants to be good for real, but upon arriving at Sweet Apple Acres, the two came face-to-face with Big Mac, who blocked their path into the farm and to the barn, and judging by the angry look on his face, it seems he isn't really happy to see them, and not just Agatha but also Sweetie Belle as well.
Then, Sweetie Belle asked "Hi, Big Mac, is Applejack home?", but then the Earth stallion slapped her across and yelled at her "Go away and don't come back, you traitor!", and when Agatha heard what he just said, she gasped in shock while Sweetie Belle almost went into tears from getting slapped across the face by the angry Earth stallion, and then Agatha stepped forward and asked "Why would you slap a young filly across the face, Mister?", but then Big Mac turned to her and slapped her twice across the face and yelled at her "Shut up and stay away from my family and from my home, you evil lioness!".
When the two heard the mean words the Earth stallion just said, Sweetie Belle asked while almost going into tears "Why are you doing this to me?", but then Big Mac yelled at her in the face "You should ashamed of yourself, Sweetie Belle! You turned on my little sister, didn't you?!", but then the young Unicorn said "No! I didn't! I don't even know what you're talking about!", but then Big Mac said and explained in his angry tone "Apple Bloom told me that you chose to betray her and her friends for Yigal's evil white lioness, or should I say in other words Agatha!", and when Sweetie Belle heard what he said, he gasped in shock and cried "No! I didn't betrayed my friends, and Agatha is no longer evil!", and then Agatha added and explained in her own words and from her own mouth "Yigal betrayed me and I decided to reform and become a good lioness after he dumped me for his new adopted evil baby boy, whose name is Dan Ashmor!".
However, Big Mac didn't seemed to believe in either of them and then he yelled at them "Who will ever believe in your no good excuses?! You, Agatha, you meant all of Equestria nothing but trouble for so many years, and you're still saying that you can actually change and become good like Shujaa and Kenai did?!", and then he added "I'm sorry to say, but neither of you will be seeing Applejack for what you both did! So just take your no good excuses and your inexcusable rotten lies and just GO AWAY!", he raised his voice and threateningly motioned to both Agatha and Sweetie Belle with his right foreleg and with his large hoof to turn around and leave Sweet Apple Acres or else he'll be harming them some more, thus causing Sweetie Belle to almost go into tears from the Earth stallion's angry assault as well as from his wrath, while Agatha just looked at him in shock and disbelief for about a few long seconds before she and Sweetie Belle turned away and left Sweet Apple Acres and they hoped that they'll be listened to somewhere else.
The second place they went to is to Sugarcube Corner to ask Pinkie Pie to listen to them for a minute so she may (or can) understand that Agatha wants to be good for real, but upon arriving at Sugarcube Corner, they both came face-to-face with Mr. Cake and Mrs. Cake, who blocked their way into their bakery (and home), and judging by the looks on their faces, they too had angry faces and it seems they aren't really happy to see them either, similar to Big Mac back at Sweet Apple Acres.
Then, Sweetie Belle asked "Hi, Mr. Cake and Mrs. Cake, is Pinkie Pie home?", but then she got slapped across the face by Mr. Cake, who then yelled at her in the face "How dare you traitor coming in here?!", and then Mrs. Cake added "And how dare you evil lioness coming in here too?! Huh?!", and when Sweetie Belle and Agatha both heard the mean words the adult cakes just said, Sweetie Belle asked "Mr and Mrs. Cake, you too? Why?", but then Mrs. Cake slapped her across the face (just like her husband already did), and then she yelled at both the young Unicorn and the white lioness "Randall told us that you chose to turn on him and on his friends and make friends with Yigal's evil white lioness, didn't you?!", but then Agatha said to her "No, she didn't! She didn't betrayed her friends! She just wants to show you all that even after everything bad I did in my life, some of which things are beyond forgiveness, I'm still able to redeem myself and show that I do have a change of heart!", and then she added "Listen to me! I'm a good lioness now! I'm no longer evil!".
However, instead of listening to the white lioness, Mr and Mrs. Cake both turned tails and bucked her a double bucking square in the face, thus throwing her backwards and causing her to scream in pain, but when she recovered, Mr. Cake yelled at both her and at Sweetie Belle "You're not going to see Pinkie Pie, do you both hear me?!", and then Mrs. Cake added as she motioned to them with a forehoof to go away "And now go away or you're both asking for it!", and when Agatha and Sweetie Belle both heard these mean words coming out and from the adult cakes' mouths, after suffering from their angry assault, as well as from their wrath, the two knew that they have no choice but to leave now or else they'll feel more pain, and soon after they both left Sugarcube Corner, Sweetie Belle and Agatha hoped that they'll still be listened to somewhere else.
The third place they went to is to Fluttershy's cottage (her home) to ask her (Fluttershy) to listen to them for a minute so she may (or can) understand that Agatha wants to be good for real, but upon arriving at Fluttershy's cottage, it wasn't Fluttershy herself, but her bunny Angel who opened the door, but upon seeing the young Unicorn and the white lioness, who are both standing just outside the cottage and waiting to see Fluttershy, the bunny gave them a dark and not so pleased glare, just like Big Mac and the adult cakes already did back in Sweet Apple Acres and Sugarcube Corner (respectively). Then, Sweetie Belle asked the white bunny "Hi, Angel, is Fluttershy home?", but then Angel scowled at her as well as at Agatha before he slammed the door in their faces, thus showing them that he won't let them come inside to see Fluttershy, and therefore forcing the two to turn around and walk away, and the two hoped that they'll still be listened to somewhere else.
The fourth place they went to is to the Castle of Friendship to ask Twilight and Starlight to listen to them for a minute so they may (or can) understand that Agatha wants to be good for real, but before they could enter the Castle of Friendship, both Agatha and Sweetie Belle were knocked backwards by a magical force field, and then, when Agatha and Sweetie both stood up again and then touched at the magical force field with a forehoof and a forepaw of each of theirs, Sweetie Belle then asked "Hey, what gives?" and then Agatha added "What is going on?", but just then, Spike came out through the castle's massive front doors and went up to Sweetie Belle and Agatha, but then he stopped just behind the inside of the magical force field, but just like all the others so far, Spike too was scowling at both the young Unicorn and the white lioness, and then he said to them with his eyebrows furrowed in anger and with a not so pleased face "A-ha! Twilight and Starlight thought you might try to show your faces around here, so Twilight put up a force field!", and then he turned around and walked back into the Castle of Friendship and slammed the doors shut behind him before the two can explain to him that Agatha wants to be good for real, thus leaving them both with no choice but to leave and try their luck and hope that they'll still be listened to somewhere else.
The fifth place Agatha and Sweetie Belle went to is to Carousel Boutique to ask Rarity to listen to them for a minute so she may (or can) understand that Agatha wants to be good for real, but upon arriving at Carousel Boutique, they saw a sign hanging on the door saying 'Go away and don't ever come back!', and after Sweetie Belle and Agatha read the sign, Sweetie Belle went into tears as she realized that even her own sister won't allow her and will not let her come back home (and won't speak to her either), and then Agatha angrily stomped a forepaw of hers on the ground and had an angry scowl on her face from (and upon) seeing Sweetie Belle in so much pain, but then she also knew one thing that they both should've known - Buldeo was the who is one standing behind all this, as the evil male lion have completely persuaded and manipulated all of Ponyville into thinking that Sweetie Belle have betrayed them all for Agatha, thus showing he's been a step ahead of them.
Later, when Agatha and Sweetie Belle went through and over all of Ponyville in hopes that everypony else would listen to them, they both got ignored and rejected by everypony, who all in turn closed and slammed their doors and windows at the young Unicorn and at the white lioness' faces, thus eventually leaving the two no choice but to leave Ponyville and go to the meadow to drown their sorrows. Agatha and Sweetie Belle ended up sitting down under the tree in the middle of the meadow and trying to drown their sorrows, and then Agatha said "I can't believe that Buldeo was a step ahead of us! He completely managed to fool and manipulate everyone in Ponyville into believing that I'm still evil like I was before!", and then she turned to Sweetie Belle and said to her "And not to mention, everyone now thinks that you're a traitor because you know I want to be good for real! Even your own sister turned on you because of that inexcusable monster!", and then Sweetie Belle cried "I wish we can find that male lion and then slap him a hundred and twenty times across the face for messing up with our lives!", and then she added "He really is a complete monster who is capable of manipulating others into believing in whatever he says!".
However, just then, the two suddenly heard some jackals snarling, but then they also heard some familiar voice crying for help, and so Agatha and Sweetie both decided to go and see who needs their help, and much to their shock, upon arriving at the exact place where the jackal snarls and the screaming for help came from, they saw Spike being attacked, pinned down and harassed by the last three evil jackals who obey and follow Lysander and his friends (the shape-shifting animals), and then one of the three jackals was about to destroy Spike, who cried for help "Somepony help, please!", and that was the only chance to show Spike that Agatha indeed have reformed to the good side.
Then, Agatha yelled at the three jackals "Hey, you bullies! Leave that dragon alone!", and then she started to run towards them, and she charged at the jackals with Sweetie Belle following her in tow, and before one of the jackals (who was about to kill Spike) can deliver the finishing (and final) blow, Agatha jumped on the jackal and then she threw it away from Spike, and then she turned back to the other two jackals and then she scared them both by roaring angrily at them before she then chased them away for good, thus saving Spike's life.
However, when Spike saw what Agatha just did in order to save his life from the three jackals, he looked up at her with shock and surprise, before she then gently pulled him and helped him stand back up with a forepaw, but then Spike said and asked "Agatha! I thought you're still a bad lioness like you always was! Why did you saved me?", and then Agatha said "Because it's what friends do! And by the way, I'm no longer evil! I'm tired of being a ferocious beast and a great villainess after realizing I don't belong and cannot stay with Yigal, Tony Black and with the other villains no more! My days as a bad lioness are gone forever, and therefore I'm a good lioness now, so there's no reason for any of you to hate and fear me anymore, even if some of the things I did in the past were beyond forgiveness! All that matters is that now I'm so happy to be good at last, and I was trying to show you all that just like Shujaa and Kenai have already managed to reform, I can do the same thing they both already did before I did myself!".
When Spike realized the truth about Agatha's redemption being real, he then saw the good behind her eyes before he said "I'm sorry for what I did to you back there. That wasn't very nice of me to turn you both away when you're just trying to show me that even Agatha could change. I was wrong when I shoed you both away. I should've known I shouldn't have listened to that male lion Buldeo. I'm so sorry for that horrible mistake I already did.", and then he asked Agatha and Sweetie Belle in a begging position "Can you please forgive me for my actions?", and then Agatha said as she looked at him with a smile "I forgive you, Spike. We both forgive you. We both know you didn't meant to do this to us on purpose. Buldeo only had you fooled and put you and everyone else up to all of this, but don't worry though, because his evil success won't last very long. I promise. We both promise.".
When Spike heard the true forgiveness coming from Agatha's mouth, tears of joy started to form in the dragon's eyes before he then jumped onto Agatha and hugged her around her neck, and she in return stroked gently and kindly at the top of his head with a free forepaw without harming him with her claws, and once they broke their hug and pulled away from each other, Spike then turned to Sweetie Belle and then he hugged her in the same way he did with Agatha and asked her for forgiveness, and Sweetie Belle forgave him too, and once they broke their hug and pulled away from each other, Spike sniffled one last time before he finally calmed himself down, and then he said "Thank you so much, girls.", and then he added "Now I have to go back to Ponyville. See you around.", and then Agatha said back "See you around too, Spike.", and then Sweetie Belle added "If you find yourself in trouble, please go find the two of us and tell us what happened, and we'll promise you we'll help you out.", and then Spike said "Thank you, and goodbye.", and then he started to flap his wings and he started to fly all the way back to Ponyville, but not before he waved for both Agatha and Sweetie Belle one last time before he flew all the way back to Ponyville, thus gaining Agatha's trust and becoming the second creature who realized that she indeed have reformed to the good side.
However, unbeknownst to them, Buldeo was been watching the newly formed bond between Spike and Agatha (which was the second bond Agatha have formed with a creature who is from the good side), and when he realized that now Spike also knows and understands that Agatha is willing to be good for real, the evil male lion grinned evilly and said "We'll see about that, you traitorous little dragon! I'll show you too! We'll see who's going to strike out! If you think that I will just let you tell everyone that that white lioness is good, then you won't be able to do so this easily! I got many more tricks up my sleeve, and I will do whatever it takes for me to stop you!", and then he started to travel all the way to Ponyville in almost no time using a shorter pathway which leads to Ponyville faster than the long way that Spike chose (even though he was flying and not walking on foot all the way back to Ponyville), thus arriving in Ponyville first before Spike, and this is when he decided to begin with his newest and next plan - manipulating everypony in Ponyville into banishing Spike away from Ponyville (like they all already did with both Agatha and Sweetie Belle).
Later, when it was already nighttime, Agatha and Sweetie Belle have already lit-up and made a fire inside the cave to cook up some food for dinner and to try and keep warm for the night, but after a while, they both suddenly heard a young male voice asking "Girls? Can I come in?", and when Agatha and Sweetie Belle heard what the voice just said, they both turned to see Spike at the opening of the cave, and then Sweetie Belle asked "Spike? Is that you? What are you doing here?", and then Spike said sadly "I got banished away from Ponyville.", and when the young Unicorn and the white lioness both heard what the dragon said, they both gasped in shock to realize that now everypony thinks that Spike is a traitor too (since Buldeo successfully managed to persuade and manipulate all of Ponyville into turning on Spike and banish him away the same way they already did to Sweetie Belle).
Then, Agatha stomped her forepaw on the cave's floor and scowled angrily before she said "The nerve of that Buldeo! He was once again a step ahead of us!", and then Spike asked "What do we do?", and then Agatha said "We'll find a way to expose Buldeo's deception to all of Ponyville, and I think that our only option we have right now is to find him, challenge into a battle and then defeat him for good!", and thenthe Sweetie Belle said in agreement "It sounds good to me! We won't give up without a fight after what he done to all three of us! First, he chased you away, Agatha! Then, he persuaded and manipulated everypony in Ponyville to banish me away, and now he did the same thing to Spike! That evil male lion deserves a true punishment for all of his crimes!", and then Agatha said "And we'll give him just what he deserves!", and then she added and pointed out "Now that there are three of us, we can now work together as a team to defeat Buldeo and show everyone else that he's been lying to them all about us, and particularly about me being still evil, but we three already know that HE is the one who's evil around here!", and then Spike said "I'm glad I came here looking for you two, so now that the three of us are together, we can work together as a team to expose and then defeat that evil male lion for good!".
With their plan to work together as a team in order to expose and defeat Buldeo is settled, Agatha, Sweetie Belle and Spike are now enjoying being all together just the three of them for the night, and the next morning they will go all together to destroy Buldeo for his cruel, heartless and manipulative crimes, and the three friends hoped that they will be able to expose and show his true dark side and manipulative nature to everypony in Ponyville, and they also hoped for Agatha to be able to show everyone that she willingly decided to reform, redeem and become a good lioness for real.
