"Geez," said the book-mare. "If all you want is the reversal, I can tell you that. You just have to say the original spell backwards."
"Oh!" Pinkie brightened, then frowned. "I don't remember the original spell."
"Are you kidding? It's, like, one line. And it rhymes." The book-mare rolled her eyes and sighed. "Repeat after me: 'mared doubly being of prospect the at scared be to not swear solemnly I'."
It took three tries -- including some where she managed to make the reversal spell reference dirty otters -- but Pinkie finally managed to get the spell right. There was a rushing *WHOOSH* and a series of Pinkie-Pie-pink magic swirls went whirling by the group as all the clones were sucked back into the book-mare's horn.
"I'm just relieved that that's all over, now," Pinkie said. "I don't know about you ponies, but I have learned a very important lesson. I'm going to have to write Princess Celestia all about this!" She started back down the path the way they came, as around them, the spooky woods faded slowly back into more traditional library book stacks. "I'm hungry. Is any pony else hungry? Let's all go to Denny's Luke's. My treat!"
She would continue babbling in this vein the whole way out of the library. And down the street. And to Luke's. And probably right up until someone shoved a whipped cream covered waffle in her face.
