[In Pudgyville's center...]
``You can't treat me this way. I'm one of you,'' protested Gloria.
``You're the reason we're in this mess in the first place,'' snapped Melody.
``If you truly were one of us, you'd be our friends but your behavior tells us you're not one of us,'' stated Bright Eyes.
``If you kick me out of here, you're discriminating against your own kind,'' declared Gloria.
``Maybe if you truly apologize to us, we might let you stay,'' suggested Sweetheart.
``She's clearly not that kind of pony, Sweetheart,'' replied Starlight. [In her jail cell...]
``Stella to Gloria. Come in Gloria. Is the plan a success?'' called Stella from her walkie-talkie.
``Who is that?'' asked Melody.
``Don't tell me they know our plan,'' whispered Stella.
``Plan? Aha, so it was you all along. No wonder you were so stubborn in telling us before. I suspect you're not really fat either, are you?'' said Bright Eyes.
``It's real fat, alright. I used your food to get there to lure you all into accepting me and it worked,'' explained Gloria.
``Stop spoiling our plan!'' yelled Stella quietly.
``Whomever this is, she's got a thing against us and she must be one of the Calorie Stealers,'' concluded Melody.
``Either way, I'm staying and that's final,'' insisted Gloria.
``What's final is your arrest for fraud. The police are already here,'' stated Eduardo.
``Fat or not, you have to show this town respect and you're clearly not so off you go to jail,'' smirked Melody.
``You will ALL regret doing this for the rest of your pitiful lazy lives!'' declared Gloria.
``Not a chance, dahling. We support this decision as a town,'' countered Rainbow Dash.
``Absolutely, positively,'' agreed Pinkie Pie. *The police arrive*
``Arrest them, not me because they're going against their own kind,'' pleaded Gloria.
``Not going to happen. You committed fraud here so off to jail with you,'' countered one of the police ponies before escorting her away. [An hour later...]
``You know what? We missed the trail of food leading into here,'' said Melody.
``If she was dropping food along the way, then we know she had a heavy load to carry,'' posted Bright Eyes.
``Come on, let's get our food back,'' declared Starlight. *They race off* [Later that night...]
``Let's eat,'' declared Bright Eyes passing out the food.
``Phew, I'm glad to be able to eat again,'' said Bon Bon before taking a bite.
``We all are. We saved the town and now we don't have anyone threatening us anymore,'' agreed Bright Eyes.
``I'm just glad to know my girlfriend's pudge is here to stay, in addition to having this town still here too of course,'' said Teddy.
``What would I do without you all? You all have more than extra weight. You've proven once again that you can take action when it's needed and for that I cannot offer enough gratitude,'' stated Eduardo.
``At last, we can resume our normal pudgy lives,'' said Melody.
``Indeed and of course, there's school tomorrow but I think even if Ms Hackney still taught here, we wouldn't mind,'' added Bon Bon.
``That's definitely true, yup,'' agreed Thistle Whistle.
``Ironically, we owe it to Gloria for telling us her plan and leaving the trail for us to find the food,'' noted Bright Eyes.
``That adventure really took it out of us.....literally,'' remarked Patch.
``You can say that again, Patch. We can also rest easy knowing Gloria is spending jail time with the Calorie Stealers,'' replied Starlight.
``Best of all, we're still fat. Even those days where we ate nothing took away little more than a pound or two. After tonight, well certainly get that back,'' finished Star Swirl.
``You know what else? In the face of danger, we showed guts,'' said Patch. *they all laugh*
