Dr. Whooves then nodded at Twilight.

"Why yes, Ben, could you please release all the ones that have been captured by you and the other monsters here?"

The bear monster then nodded at Dr. Whooves and then clapped his claws together a couple of times, and when he did that, the hotel started to shake, and a lot of black mist started to form around the four Ponies, then, once all the dark mist had settled and became clear, Twilight, Flash and Trixie then saw standing before then, every single one of their friends that had been captured and vanished, and they looked completely unharmed and unscathed, the trio of ponies couldn't believe it, they thought all of their friends were gone, then after a few seconds pause, the whole group jumped in on each other and had a big group hug with each other, squeezing each other to the point where they were almost out of breath, but they didn't care, they were in each other's presence and didn't want this moment to end, after a little while and a few tears, Twilight and the others finally broke from their group hug.

"I- I thought I lost all of you, you are like family to me"

"It's okay Twilight, we were sent to an underground Chamber with no one in sight, but looking around, it seems like you three managed to pull it off Sugarcubes"

"We sure did"

Trixie then came in with a comment 

"Thank you so much Dr. Whooves, although I have to say, this is my least favorite place that I've been to ever"

All the other ponies and creatures then laughed their eyes out before Twilight asked Dr. Whooves for one last favor.

"Could you please send us home now?"

Dr. Whooves than smiled at Twilight and the others.

"Come on, that is the least I could do for all of you'

Then, Dr. Whooves used the key in his hoof to create a portal, and told all the others what to do.

"Okay, this Portal if you go through it, will send all of you back to Ponyville, back to the place where you found the door in the first place"

"Thank you very much"

The whole group then was about to head to the portal and Dr. Whooves looked back at them one more time before saying his last statement.

"I wanna say, thank you all, for saving my Hotel, and now I can properly protect this place"

Dr. Whooves then waved at them all, and the whole group waved at him back, then, the whole group went inside the portal, and sure enough, they all arrived back at the outside of the restaurant where they found the portal, it was now around evening here in Ponyville, and it seemed like things were pretty normal around there, and then, the whole group had a discussion about their adventure that they had gone through throughout the day, Flash was the first one to talk about it.

"Man, that was something today, wasn't it?"

"It really was Flash"

Then, Rainbow Dash asked a question.

"Just wanted to ask you three, how was it like to go through all of that?"

"Oh, I'm not sure if you guys would have enjoyed it if you were around with us, it was nerve wrecking, terrifying, and also scary, but, I think we probably would have had a lot more fun, had we known that all of you were completely okay"

"Yeah, but hey, at least we are all together in one piece, and we've still got each other's backs no matter what, and it was certainly an experience I don't think any of us will end up forgetting"

"Agreed"

Just then, Gallus' tummy started rumbling.

"Actually, I'm getting kinda hungry"

Starlight agreed with him

"Me too, where are we going to Twilight? Back to the restaurant? The day is not over yet for your birthday"

"Hmmm"

Twilight then thought about it for a little bit, then, she came up with an idea.

"I think I have a better idea on how we could spend the rest of our hours together"

Twilight then whispered to Pinkie Pie something and she nodded and smiled at her, then, it later turned out, Twilight told Pinkie Pie to throw a party, where all of them could eat, play games, dance together and overall, have fun being together, Twilight just smiled at all of them and then thought to herself how lucky she was to have such great friends by her side, then Twilight signalled to Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie Pie, get ready with the camera!"

"Got it?"

Pinkie then set the camera to take a picture of the whole group together in a few seconds, Pinkie and Twilight then both immediately got together with the group and they all took a picture with each other together, Twilight thought to herself about this birthday that she had, she might not necessarily call it the best birthday she's ever had, but it is one that she definitely would never forget, and the most important thing to her was that at least at the end, no one got hurt or injured, and they were all safe and sound now, as they spent the rest of their night partying and having an amazing time having fun.

The End
