The music had to wind down as Principal Celestia came onto the stage.
"First off, I want to say how wonderful everything looks tonight," Celestia smiled to her students. "You all did a magnificent job pulling things together after the unfortunate events of earlier. And now, without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal Crown."
Vice Principal Luna came up, walking across the stage with a box and the Element of Harmony crown inside of it, glowing from the stage lights. Twilight's eyes widened as she held Spike with a top hat on his head.
"And the Princess of this year's Fall Formal is..." Celestia got ready to tell them as she had a sealed envelope, taking out a paper with the winner's name on it. "Twilight Sparkle!"
Everyone began to cheer for Twilight. Snips and Snails came into the gym as everybody cheered for Twilight. Even more than they ever would since someone else other than Sunset Shimmer was in charge of the school now and in a good way. Twilight walked on stage and smiled as Principal Celestia was ready to put the crown on her head after congratulating her.
"Yes, she won, nothing could possibly ruin this moment." Atticus said.
"Twilight, help!" a voice called.
"Guys, help us!" another one called.
"Spike?" Twilight whispered to herself. "Bobby?"
Snips and Snails took Spike and Bobby away from the crowd.
"They got Spike and Bobby!" Twilight ran off the stage, chasing after the bad boys.
Twilight, the human Mane Six, Mo, Cherry and Atticus all began to chase after Snips and Snails so they could rescue Spike and Bobby. The Great and Powerful Trixie was by the vending machine again as she saw them all go and ignored them as she decided to have another snack of peanut butter crackers. Snips and Snails kept going with Spike and Bobby and Bobby turned back into Patch.
"That's close enough." Sunset Shimmer appeared as she smirked and carried a sledgehammer by a horse statue in front of the school.
"What's the sledgehammer for?" Mo asked.
"Oh, I know Twilight doesn't belong here," Sunset told her after she actually let Patch and Spike go back to the group. "Twilight, give me the crown and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it and never go home." she nearly swung the hammer against the statue, but didn't let it to scare all of them. "Tick-Tock, Twilight... We haven't got all night. The portal will be closing on its own in less than an hour. So... What's your answer?"
"Don't do it, Twilight, she's just bluffing." Atticus said.
Twilight wasn't sure what to do. She just removed the crown to give to Sunset Shimmer. But, she actually didn't give in. "No."
"WHAT!?" Sunset glared at her. "Equestria! Your friends! Lost to you forever! Don't you see what I'm about to do to the portal!?"
"Yes," Twilight stood up as she firmly held Spike in her arms. "But I've also seen what you've been able to do here without magic. Equestria will find a way to survive without my element of harmony. This place might not if I allow it to fall into your hands. So go ahead, destroy the portal. You are not getting this crown." she placed the item back on top of her head.
The others smiled behind Twilight.
"Fine, you win." Sunset scowled as she dropped the hammer.
"You are so awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered and made a cute face.
"I knew you would make the right choice." Atticus said.
"Can't believe you were gonna do that for us!" Applejack slapped Twilight on the back.
"It's no wonder you're a real life princess." Fluttershy added.
Sunset looked very angry. "Yeah, she's so very special!" she lunged for Twilight, pummeling her onto the ground.
"Get off of her!" Atticus said.
The girls were fighting to get the crown.
Spike and Patch jumped in and decided to get the crown and when one of them did, they ran off.
"Grab them, you fools!" Sunset yelled to Snips and Snails.
Snips and Snails went to do as Sunset ordered them to do. Sunset went ahead of them when they were too SLOW. Spike and Patch got to the door. For some reason though, Patch couldn't turn back into Bobby and open the door for them to run into the school and possibly hide in the bathroom.
"SPIKE!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
Mo noticed this. "Spike, pass it to Rainbow, she's open!" she called out.
Spike noticed this, then threw the crown out of his mouth for her to catch. And which she did.
"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cried, tossing the crown.
Fluttershy had the crown hit her in the back, but she got it. She was scared and worried once everyone ran up to her. Applejack took out a lasso and threw it onto the crown for her to take it before Fluttershy would get hurt for having the crown.
"Applejack, over here!" Mo cried out.
Applejack got it to Mo and then Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and finally Twilight got the crown. The crown flew out of her hands however and then Sunset grabbed it at last. She placed the crown on her head and some black magic formed around her, worrying the others.
"Oh, no." Patch said.
