- Rarity: Ugh... what happened?
- Spike: Rarity! You're okay?
- Rarity: I... I think so... though by the looks of it, something quite terrifying has happened to Ponyville.
- Spike: You happened.
- Rarity: Me?
- Spike: The last part of the spell!
- Rarity: [flashback] Only when true words are spoken will you finally be set free.
- Spike: The spell took over you, and you wanted to change everything in Equestria. I was afraid to tell you how I really felt about it, but then I... I told you the truth.
- Rarity: Dearest Spike, you should never be afraid to tell me the truth. We're friends, remember?
- [the two share a friendly hug]
- [last lines]
- Twilight Sparkle: Spike. Never, ever, ever, ever take another book out of the library at the castle without asking! Princess Cadance and Princess Luna have much better things to do than help me clean up Ponyville! Do you have any idea how hard it was to reverse that much dark magic?
- Spike: [chuckles] You don't look so good.
- [Twilight growls]
- Spike: What? I'm just being honest! It's what good friends do!
