(Inside the castle, all the toons were yelling as they were now in cages dangling from the ceiling)

Pied Piper: As you can see, the good news is that I brought you your toons. The bad news is that your unicorn and the leader are still uncaptured. Probably together...

Mortimer: Generous....

Sally: ... And Sun...

Both: ...Are together?!

Pied Piper: Afraid so...

Sally: Yeah, I've heard enough of your toot-a-lee-toots! YOU BLEW IT! Guess we have to do this thing ourselves!

(Later, people were watching from a TV at the TV store)

News announcer: Attention citizens. Please stay tuned for a message from our king and queen.

(Mortimer and Sally appeared on screen)

Mortimer: Hello people. It is us, Mortimer and Sally shepherds of your dreams.

Sally: Recently, a certain somebody has jeopardized our joyous lives. And that somebody is the strawberry-munching alicorn called Generous Crystal!

Mortimer: That is why we come to you, dear citizens. From whomever brings me this pony shall receive the deal of a lifetime! Just think of it, total and complete happiness. Dazzling, radiant fulfilment! All your greatest wishes. Your wildest dreams! Anything you could ever want! No strings attached!

Sally: But hurry, this is a limited time offer. So light your torches, sharpen your pitchforks and get your mob on!

(Soon an angry mob is formed and tries looking for Generous. Meanwhile, Generous who was hiding with her friends was watching everything)'

Twistar: It seems that we are safe.

Bong: Yeah, it looks a lot less pitchforky and torchy out there. Let's go.

Generous: (Sighs) What's the point? It's over.

Nancy: Look, Gen, I know things might seem a little bleak right now, but things always work themselves out in the end, you'll see.

Delilah: Yeah, I bet by this time tomorrow...

Generous: Hey, don't you understand? There is no tomorrow. There's no day after that, and there's no day after THAT day after that! My life was perfect and I'm never going to get it back!

Thunder: Well, if your life was so perfect, why'd you sign it away to these lizards in the first place?

Generous: Because I wasn't ready to move on! All right? (Sighs sadly) I thought you guys would abandon me.... I just wanted to spend a whole day with you but instead, I ruined the future for everyone.

(Suddenly, a book was thrown at her. She looks up to see it was Graydon)

Graydon: Ha! Chah! Surrender now! I'm taking you in! Don't try to fight it, evil creature! The reward is mine!

Generous: Graydon? What are you doing?

Graydon: Collecting my bounty!

Silver: Bounty?

Thunder: What are you talking about, kitty cat?

Graydon: The king and queen promised the deal of a lifetime for whoever could bring you in.

Generous: Deal of a lifetime?

Graydon: Where all your wishes come true.

Generous: Wait a minute. I can still fix this.

Blair: Now, how you gonna do that?

Generous: You know what? I'm gonna give those lizards exactly what they want. Okay, Graydon, tell me about this-

(Sees Nancy kicking Graydon away)

Generous: Nancy!

Nancy: What? That guy's annoying.

(Back at the castle, Sally waited impatiently)

Sally: This is ridiculous, time's running out and still no Generous! I want that pony!!!!

Mortimer: Calm down, she's just a dumb pony. I bet some of the people will bring her here right now.

(Then the door of the throne room slammed open, and Generous is there)

Generous: Hey you! I hear you're looking for me.

Mortimer: All right! Finally! (Calls out and looks around) Who turned her in? Who gets the deal of a lifetime?

Generous: I do.

(She took the 'deal of a lifetime' contract out of Sally's hand)

Sally: What? But-

Generous: If I'm turning myself in, I get the deal of a lifetime.

(She plucked a feather from her wings and dipped in the magic ink jar)

Generous: That means you have to give me anything I want.

(The scared villains leaped onto the table, stopping her signing it)

Sally: No, no, no! kiss Only fighting back your wish can break your contract! So if you thought you were just gonna doot-doot-doot in here and get your life back-

Generous: I'm not here to get my life back.

Mortimer: (Raises an eyebrow) Then what DO you want?

(Outside the castle, Generous' friends awaited before all toons of the resistance magically appeared, one by one, an dropped from the sky)

Evelyn: The toons. They are all free.

(Of course, they noticed that not ALL of them were free)

Thunder: But where is Generous?

(They all went up to the gates, knowing Generous was still inside)

Twistar: This is not good.

(Back in the throne room, the lizards were leading Generous, who had her hooves shackled, her wings tied and her horn blocked to a dungeon room, with the hunters encircling the prisoner and pointing their guns at her at him)

Mortimer: I don't know. Not much of a storybook ending. I mean, the noble princess turns herself in to save a bunch of filthy creatures?

Generous: All that matters is that they're free, and Sunny is safe.

Sally: Awww, I bet Sunny would be really touched to hear that, but, hey, I guess you can tell him yourself.

(They reveal Sun, shackled as well, struggling to get out)

Generous: Sun!

(Both ponies rushed to each other, but the weight of the shackles and chains held them back. They tried breaking free from them to no avail, and Sally only cackled maniacally as they watched the two ponies struggle to reach each other in failed attempts to her pure wicked amusement, while Mortimer felt some sadness for them)

Generous: Hey, we had a deal! You agreed to free all toons!

Sally: Oh, yeah. But Sunny isn't a real toon, is he? Oops. Well, we'd like to stay more but me and my husband will have a victory party and you two are invited. See ya!

Mortimer: Yeah, see ya.

(They left the room, closing the doors and leaving the two prisoners alone with the hunters)

Sun Winter: That was a really brave thing you did, Generous. Thank you.

Generous: No, you were right. I wasn't there for you. And not just at the whole Cloudsdale incident.

Sun Wintera: Well...(Gives a small sad smile) you're here now.
