Twilight hadn't answered as specifically as he'd have liked, but he grabbed ahold of one of her words and remembered a few of the things he'd heard about Rarity. (After all, even living in Canterlot, stories were told about the ponies that had saved Equestria twice!) He looked at Twilight thoughtfully for a moment, then at Fizz. He kept looking at Fizz. ... Yeah, that would probably work. He trotted over to Sparkler and whispered to her, "Say, it looks like Pink Fizz could use a little help with her mane. It keeps getting in her face; do you think maybe a bun would keep that from happening? I'm no fashion expert, after all. I'm sure you could help her far better than I could." So he wasn't very discreet. So what? He figured (and hoped) that Rarity wouldn't be able to resist an opportunity to fix somepony's mane when it looked like that. And by doing somepony a favor, she'd be displaying her generosity. It should work, right?
Spoiler: Harmony Roll for Darkshine! (Since it requires some amount of dexterity to show somepony how to fly.) 16 + 3 (Energy) + 1 (Element of Loyalty) = 20 Firefly gulped, then fluttered her wings enough that she was hovering beside Dark Shine. [size=-2]”Um…okay. Here goes…”[/size] She stuck her tongue out in concentration and decided on her target: The top of the Desk fort. She bobbed and stumbled a bit as she made the ascent. After putting forth a great effort, she finally made it to the top of the fort next to Pinkie Pie. After landing, she hopped up and down excitedly. [size=-2]”I did it, Dark Shine! I did it! Did you see me? It was pretty awesome!”[/size] Pinkie Pie, noticing the commotion, blew a party favor at Firefly. ”That was great, Firefly! Wahoo!” She then threw confetti in to the air and blew the party favor again, causing Firefly to grin broadly. [size=-2]”Pinkie Pie, you’re so random!”[/size] After saying this, Firefly’s eyes suddenly grew very wide and she became wobbly. Suddenly, she stumbled from the top of the desk fort. As she started to fall, her mane and tail took on their more proper rainbow-colored hue, and she snapped as if she had just woken up. Moments before hitting the ground, she blasted off and flew around the classroom as subsonic speeds whipping papers in every direction. Rainbow Dash suddenly stopped and exclaimed, “Aww yeah! I’m back, baby!” She performed a midair somersault before giving high hoofs to everypony in the room. Then she alighted in front of Dark Shine. ”Weather Patrol High Hoof!” She put out her hoof for Dark Shine. ---- After the initial shock of being high hoofed, Sparkler responded to Entropy. “Her mane certainly is a mess, but that’s no concern of mine.” She flipped her mane. “She really should think of doing something with it, though… It looks absolutely dreadful.” She seemed distracted by something for a moment, but quickly snapped out of it. ---- Fireheart trotted toward Glory. Glory, in turn, back away slightly. “Whoa nelly! I know why you’re here! You were told to avenge the time that my brother stole those pies from Constella. I told him not to, but did he listen to me? No! In fact, he-“ “Shut up.” Glory started. “What?” Fireheart glared at Glory. “That’s a lie and you know it. Now, I told the truth about what Constella said to me, even if it freaked you out. Do you know why?” “Um…yes.” “No you don’t. It’s because I’m honest, regardless of the consequences. Constella might try to destroy me, and I know that she’s already upset that I haven’t given you to her.” “But, I-“ “No buts. As a guard, I know how important it is to divulge information that will be helpful to your allies. If Constella asked me to sacrifice you, she might ask another one of us to do it to someone else, and I for one, will not abide a traitor.” Glory looked like she was about to cry. “It’s just little lie here and there…” “But how far will it go? Have you ever heard of the colt who cried timberwolf?” “Yeah…” She hung her head. “Then you know what happens at the end. No one will believe anything you say, even if you are telling the truth. That’s why honesty is the best policy.” Glory blinked a few times. “Makes…sense. But what if I hurt someone’s feelings?” “It’s bound to happen,” Fireheart replied nonchalantly. “When it does, their feelings might be hurt for a moment, but if somepony is truly your friend, they’ll appreciate that you were honest with them.” “But…I want ponies to be impressed by me. I’m not actually the great baker that I say I am.” “Then, you work harder to improve yourself. If you work hard to become the pony you want to be, you won’t have to lie to impress others. They’ll see how great you are through your actions. You’ll see.” Glory smiled slightly. “You’re right… I’ll just have to work extra hard. Be honest with others…and myself-“ She suddenly collapsed. Her Cutie Mark suddenly turned back into an trio of apples, and her eyes fluttered open, just as the others’ had. ”Hoo whee! I feel like I was just applebucked. What happened?” She rubbed her head, and felt that her mane was styled. ”And who the hay did this to my mane?! If it was Rarity…ooh, when I get my hooves on her I’ll…I’ll…give her such a noogie!” ----- Everypony suddenly feels the air become a little colder, as if a breeze is blowing over them. What’s strange is that the windows to the classroom aren’t even open.
Dark Shine smiled. "High hoof" Before high hoofing Rainbow. He then noticed the cold air. "Somepony mind shutting the window? Its kinda chilly."
Fireheart went to the window to close them, but found that they were already tightly shut, locked even. "That's strange..." Just as suddenly as it started, the breeze died down. Everyone in the room suddenly heard the voice of Constella in their heads: You're beginning to impress me, My Little Ponies...
He watches the others try to bring back the mane 6, and is relieved when Rainbow Dash returns back to her regular self. It was good to have the leader of the Weather Patrol back again. Gratefully giving her a high hoof, he turns to see how progress with Rarity is. Entropy doesn't seem to be making any more headway. Fireheart's sudden discussion with Applejack manages to grab his attention next, and he smiles as she too ends up returning to normal. Shivering at the sudden breeze in the room, he glances at the windows. Finding them shut, he thinks how odd it is. Fireheart confirms his suspicions as well. He jumps slightly at hearing Constella's voice again in his mind. "Everypony else heard that, right? It isn't just me?"
