Magic Duel, part 4
Sneaking Fluttershy back into Ponyville was, fortunately, a lot easier than getting her out. After that, Twilight and Zecora spent the rest of the night fine-tuning the unicorn's plan, while their friends on the other side of the wall carried out the instructions sent with Fluttershy.
It's nearly noon when Twilight and Zecora walk up to the borders of Ponyville. She has to squint, but Twilight can just barely see the strip of red cloth tied to the peak of the Carousel Boutique--the agreed-upon signal that the plan is ready for execution. She looks back at Zecora, briefly, and the zebra gives her an encouraging nod.
Nix your magic. Use the six.
Twilight walks up to the edge of the forcefield and raps her hoof sharply on the wall. Rings of blood-red light ripple out from the point of contact. That ought to get Trixie's attention.

"But- uh... How did you do those spells? Nopony could do those spells!" Trixie's going to get to the bottom of this one way or another.

Twilight waves toward Town Hall, and ponies start spilling out from their hiding places. There are three extra Apple Jacks wiping makeup out of their fur, and one tiny Rarity combing the dye out of her mane. The second Rainbow Dash removes her wig and shakes out Fluttershy's soft pink hair.
"Zecora taught me so much about magic while I was in exile," Twilight explains. "She even taught me when not to use it. My magic alone wasn't powerful enough to take on the Alicorn Amulet head-to-head, so I needed to use a different kind of magic: the magic of friendship. Combined with some good old-fashioned stagecraft and slight-of-hoof, of course. I also knew that the only pony who could get the Amulet off your neck was you, so..."

"But... What about the pony with the ten instruments?"
