In no time, Roma, the horses, and the royals made it to Ivy's kingdom. Everything was black and white.

"Wow, everything looks so different," Sofia gaped.

"It's kinda spooky," Hugo gulped. "On the bright side, nobody will ever judge you for the colors of your clothes or hair here."

"That's one way of putting it," Ivy smiled. "Well, here we are, the castle where I grew up."

The horses landed, and the boat stopped at the dock. Ivy, Sofia, Hugo, and Roma got out of the boat and went to find Queen Glory. Suddenly, the group came across a woman with black hair that was a little shorter than Ivy's, and she was wearing a gray and black dress. When she saw Ivy, she was surprised. "Ivy?"

"Glory," Ivy nodded.

This was quite the family reunion. For the first time in 12 years, Ivy and Glory had reunited.

"What are you doing here?" Glory asked.

"I've come to reconcile with you," Ivy admitted. "Look, I'll admit that I was pretty much of a brat the last time we saw each other, and it took me 12 years to realize it, but you actually gave me what I wanted."

"Is that so?" Glory asked.

"Yes, all I wanted was a kingdom of my own, but that island you put me on was my kingdom the whole time," Ivy admitted. "I just hadn't seen it that way."

"How did you figure that out?" Glory asked with a smile.

"Princess Sofia here once came to my island as a result of her magical amulet, so she could help me with a problem," Ivy replied. "It turned out she was at my island to help me see how much it hurt when a friend is in trouble."

"Wow, good on you, dear," Glory told Sofia.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Sofia smiled.

"Glory, all I want to say is I'm sorry I tried to overthrow you," Ivy apologized.

Glory smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm sorry you felt overshadowed by my becoming queen."

Ivy was surprised that her sister just forgave her like that. "Wow, you really forgive me?" she gaped.

"Of course," Glory smiled. "I always have loved you, and I was hurt that you tried to overthrow me. All these years, I wanted to reconcile with you--and it looks like we got what we wanted." She and Ivy hugged tightly.

Sofia and Hugo were really happy that they've helped Ivy and Glory reconcile without even trying.

"All right! Family reunion!" Roma cried out excitedly. Unfortunately, he was so excited that he accidentally sprayed Sofia and Hugo, who started coughing from the stench. "Oops, sorry! I guess I got a little excited."

"It's okay," Sofia winced.

"That's my pet skunk, Roma," Ivy told Glory.

"Good to meet you, Roma," Glory smiled, pinching her nose. "And who's the nice young man?"

"That's Sofia's boyfriend, Prince Hugo," Ivy replied, pinching her own nose.

"Good to meet you," Hugo smiled, coughing.

"Well, you should both get home and get cleaned up," Ivy suggested. "I hope you can get that smell out."

"Well, we have industrial strength soap that's strong enough to remove skunk," Sofia said. "Well, enjoy yourselves."

"Thanks again," Glory and Ivy waved.

Sofia and Hugo got back on their horses and held hands again. Sofia held her amulet in her hands and said, "Take us back to Enchancia." Just like that, the Amulet glowed, and the royals and horses disappeared.
