The little ponies and their friends walked up to what looked like a stone temple, covered with birds. The birds were all sorts of different colors and had long, flowing tails. Or at least most of them did. A lot of them looked like normal birds.
"Did we walk into an aviary or something?" Anne asked. She led the group inside the temple and looked around. There were more birds inside than there were outside. And they were all flying about. A group of parrots suddenly formed a chorus line. They were doing high kicks while singing "New York, New York."
"I consider we stumbled into a bird sanctuary," Wind Whistler said, looking around.
"These birds are such hams," a voice said. The group turned around and saw Mimic, Spike, the Grundles, and Phyllis standing in the doorway of the Tiki Room.
"You own these birds?" Magic Star asked.
"Not really," Phyllis replied, as her little red bird flew over and landed on her shoulder. "They come and go. It's sort of a bird sanctuary. They all live here in my temple. I call it my Tiki Room. The parrots just like putting on their little Tiki Room show whenever someone new walks in. Isn't that right, guys?"
"Si!" a Spanish parrot cawed.
"Oui!" a French parrot squawked.
"Ja vol!" a German parrot shouted.
"Wow, terrific!" Fizzy shouted.
"We don't have time to review a bird show, Fizz," Anne said. "We're on a mission. We have to stip the Gloob."
"Gloob?"
"Yeah, it's like Smooze, but the Flutter Ponies can't defeat it."
"We were wondering what this stuff was," Spike said. "How do you get rid of it?"
"The Moochick said only something called Fairy Tails can defeat Gloob," Magic Star said. "Unfortunately, we don't know what Fairy Tails are."
"You've come to the right place," Phyllis said, smiling. She took a small pipe out of her pocket, and blew into it, playing a few notes. All the little multi-colored birds with the long tail feathers flew over. There were at least a hundred of them.
"These are the Fairy Tails," Phyllis said. "The Fairy Tails of Barberia."
"But they're so small," Fizzy said. "How can they stop the Gloob?"
"The same way Utter Flutter stopped the Smooze," Megan said. "We don't have much time! Everybody back to Paradise Estate!"
The little ponies and their friends started running for the Estate. The Fairy Tails were after them. By that time, the Gloob had almost everything in Dream Valley covered.
"What do we do?" Sweet Stuff asked.
"We'll never be able to stop this stuff," Truly said.
"It looks like the end!" Shady shouted, and he was about to cry in a minute.
"We can't give up now!" North Star shouted. "You all know it's always darkest before the dawn!"
"North Star's right!" Buttons said.
"But what we do?" Baby Half Note asked. Buttons gave her a nuzzle.
"Close your eyes," she said. "Think of Megan and Anne. And Wind Whistler and Magic Star. Now think of something that has enough power to defeat the Gloob."
Suddenly, the chirping of birds was heard in the distance. Baby Lofty looked up and gasped.
"Look!" she shouted. "Pretty birdies!"
"It's Megan and Anne!" Shady cried.
"And Wind Whistler and Magic Star!" Buttons shouted. "And the others, too!"
The others ran up to the cliff where the little ponies were standing. The little red bird chirped to her friends and led them to the Gloob. The Witch Trio were sailing in it, wondering what in the world was going on.
"Go on, Gloob!" Witch Cat shouted. "Take care of those rejects from a feather duster!"
The Gloob groaned, and began slinging Gloob balls at the Fairy Tails. The others cheered the little birds on.
"Where have you two been?" Glory asked Mimic and Spike.
"Long story," Mimic replied. "I'll tell you about it later."
The Gloob continued to throw it's balls at the Fairy Tails. The birds swirled around the Gloob, shooting off rainbow glitter from their tails. The effect was similar to the Flutter Ponies' Utter Flutter. The Gloob was no match for these birds.
"Now I know why they call them Fairy Tails," Magic Star said. "They're shooting fairy dust out of their tail feathers!"
The little ponies began to cheer as the Fairy Tails pushed the Gloob back to Skull Mountain. Once they got the big pile of purple gook out of the way, the Rainbow of Light flew from the mess and surrounded the Gloob. Then it picked up the Witch Trio.
"Oh no!" Witch Cat shouted. "Not again! Not again!"
"I thought you said nothing could defeat the Gloob!" Witch Poodle yelled.
"That's what they said about Smooze, too!" Witch Cat shouted. "And besides, I DIDN'T KNOOOOWWWWW!"
The Rainbow of Light then dropped the Witch Trio into their castle, and the Gloob back into the volcano it came from. Then the Fairy Tails swirled around and destroyed the Gloob that surrounded the Sea Ponies. The Sea Ponies waved their fins at the Fairy Tails.
"Shoop-ee-doo, shoop-shoop-ee-doo!" they sang. "Shoop-ee-doo, shoop-shoop-ee-doo!"
The Fairy Tails came back down and swirled around Applejack. The Gloob on her hair was gone for good. Applejack cheered and tossed her head back and forth.
"Glad to have you back, hair!" she shouted.
The little ponies and their friends cheered. The Rainbow of Light then flew back into the locket, and Megan closed it.
"Glad to have you back, Rainbow," she said. "Well, looks like another job well done."
The others had to agree. As a final touch, the Fairy Tails flew around, spreading their fairy dust all over. Dream Valley was restored to the way it was before the Gloob hit. Everyone agreed that it never looked better.
The End
