Unfortunately, getting the jeweled hyacinth was going to be easier said than done. Spike, Galaxy, and Gingerbread were standing at the foot of a high peak where the flower was. It was so high, the jeweled hyacinth looked like a shiny speck.
"Wow, that's pretty high up!" Gingerbread replied.
"Galaxy, why don't you wink up there and get it?" Spike asked.
"I don't know," Galaxy said. "It's pretty high up there."
"I know you can do it, Galaxy," Gingerbread replied.
Galaxy winked out, but when she winked back in, she realized there was no place to wink to! The jeweled hyacinth was on a cliff with nothing surrounding it! Galaxy began to fall, but she winked out and winked back in on the ground.
"That was close," she said. "There's absolutely no place to wink to up there!"
"We've got to get that flower somehow," Gingerbread said. "Do you think you could climb it, Spike? I'd climb it myself, but I was never that great a climber. That, and I can't get my hooves into the hand and foot holds."
"I'll do my best," Spike said.
Spike cracked his little knuckles, and started climbing. He kept his eyes towards the sky. He definitely didn't want to look down, that was for sure! He finally made it to the top of the cliff, and grabbed the jeweled hyacinth.
"I got it! I got it!" Spike called. "I . . . . whooooaaaaa!"
Spike had inadvertently let go of the mountain, and started to fall. Galaxy and Gingerbread gasped.
"SPIKE!" Gingerbread screamed.
The two ponies began racing around, trying to catch Spike before he could hit the ground. The two of them ran around until they ran right into each other, and crashed to the ground. Luckily, Spike landed right on top of both of them.
"Ouch!" Galaxy shouted.
"Ooch!" Gingerbread yelled.
"Eech!" Spike shouted. "Thanks for breaking my fall, you guys."
"You're welcome," Gingerbread groaned. "I not only broke your fall, Spike, I think I also broke my back."
"At least we've got the hyacinth," Galaxy said. "Let's go."
The trio immediately walked back to the Estate. The others were waiting for them.
"What happened to you guys?" Surprise, who had recovered from her silly streak, asked.
"Don't ask," Galaxy said as Spike threw the jeweled hyacinth into the cauldron.
"What's supposed to happen now?" he asked.
"Unfortunately nothing," Phyllis said, looking inside the Moochick's book. "We just need one more item before we can lift the curse. It was on the other page, so the Moochick didn't see it."
"So what have we got to get?" Gingerbread asked.
"It's probably the most important piece of the spell," Phyllis replied. "And it's the Medallion of Medala. Without it, we'll never undo the curse."
"Let me guess," Sparkler said. "The medallion is in the possession of your stepmother."
"Exactly," Phyllis said.
"Shoulda known."
"Your stepmother can't be that bad!" Gingerbread shouted. "All we have to do is ask her for the medallion, and I'm sure she'll give it to us!"
"You don't know Lady Chloe, Gingerbread," Phyllis replied. "She is the purest pure evil. We'll never get the medallion by just talking."
"Then you leave it to us," Surprise said. "We'll get that medallion."
"Right," Megan said. "Surprise, Magic Star, Heart Throb, Gingerbread, Galaxy, Wind Whistler, Fizzy, Paradise, and I will go get it. Phyllis, you come to. You can show us the way to Medala. The rest of you stay here."
"Be careful," Sparkler said. "I'm sure Lady Chloe won't give in easily."
"We will," Gingerbread said. "Everything is under control!"
"I sure hope you're right, Gingerbread," Sparkler said.
