Epilogue: I Could Never Forget

As Princess Luna was bringing up the moon to begin the night, her older sister was getting ready for bed. However, Celestia still feels uneasy. As she brushed her mane, her thoughts drifted back to that moment in her old home within the Everfree Forest…the moment she kissed Discord. His lips against hers…so enchanting…so magical…so romantic…

She quickly set her brush back onto her vanity with the shake of her head. It was just one kiss; it did not mean anything…

"Oh, who am I fooling?" she cried out to herself before flopping into her cushiony bed without so much as removing her crown, necklace, and shoes. "I can't even stop thinking of what we were all those years ago…" She then turned onto her back and looked down at her necklace…the very same golden necklace with the diamond-shaped amethyst that she wore before she and Luna trapped Discord in stone all those years ago...

*~*~*Flashback…*~*~*

Discord wrapped his arm around Celestia's shoulders as the two of them watched little Luna play with the butterflies from their cherry blossom tree. In reply, she simply rested her head into his cinnamon brown chest, the petals falling from the tree into her mane to blend in with it perfectly.

"She looks so adorable," she said to him, "does she not?"

"Yeah," he sighed, running his fingers through her cotton candy pink mane. "And soon, she'll grow into a ravishing beauty like you." Celestia blinked in reply and looked up at him.

"What?" Realizing what he just said, Discord looked away with a deep blush. Celestia then felt his heart thump rapidly in his chest.

"Uh…I mean…that is, uh…" he stuttered. She then arched an eyebrow at him suspiciously.

"Discord," she said to him in a tell-the-truth-and-shame-the-devil tone, "were you trying to tell me something?"

"Uh, maybe," he answered, rubbing the back of his neck. "I dunno…" Celestia then turned his head so he's looking at her.

"Discord, whatever you are thinking, you can tell me," she said to him. "You are my best friend…and practically a big brother to Luna." Discord smiled in reply.

"Now that I thought about it," he said to her, "you two don't have any brothers, right?" Celestia looked down sadly.

"Yes, it's true," she answered. Seeing her depression, the Draconequus gave her a comforting hug.

"You know," he said softly, "I can be Luna's big brother for life if you want...for both of you, but you most of all." Celestia looked up at him in surprise.

"What I'm trying to say is, Tia," he said, giving her his nickname for her, "is that I love you. You are the only one who could ever complete my heart."

Celestia felt her heart flutter like the butterflies playing with Luna. She had always been attracted to him because of his uniqueness and sense of humor. She had no idea that he loves her too.

"Discord, I…I don't know what to say but…" she replied with a smile, "you complete my heart too." Discord, feeling like the happiest entity ever, smiled more broadly than he was before. He then sat up straight and changed his position so that he's kneeling before her on one knee. Celestia's heart began beating faster as he took her front hooves into his hands.

"Celestia," he said to her, "I know that we have confessed our love just now, but I now have one question I wish to ask of you?"

"Oh, Discord," she begged, "ask. Please ask!" He then brought his tail out from behind him and held it out before her. In its grasp is a golden collar-like necklace with a diamond-shaped amethyst in the center and decorated with graceful swirls.

"This necklace is one I have made all on my own," he said to her, "forged from the purest flames, fashioned from the best gold, and blest with the most beautiful of gems. It is to be an engagement necklace that I will give to the one with whom I wish to spend forever. And so I ask of you…Princess Celestia…Will you marry me and be my bride?" Celestia's eyes welled up with tears. She knew he would propose to her, and she knows her answer.

"Yes!" she cried with a smile. "Of course I'll marry you, Discord." Discord then pressed his forehead into hers as he placed the necklace around her neck and clasped it to keep it on.

"Celestia…" he whispered before she placed her hoof on his lips softly.

"Don't speak," she whimpered, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks. "Just kiss me as if it were our wedding day." Obliging with her wish, Discord took her into his arms in a strong but gentle embrace and pressed his lips into hers for a long but tender kiss. Celestia then returned it, her front legs on his shoulders and wrapping her wings around him. Her happiness has truly begun anew…

"Uh-oh!" Hearing a familiar voice, the two betrothed pulled apart and turned to Luna to find her covering her eyes with her front hooves.

"Luna," Celestia laughed at the cute baby Alicorn, "what are you doing?" Luna then looked up at her sister sadly.

"I'm sorry, Celly," she answered timidly. "I saw you and Dissy kissing. I hope you're not mad." With a sly smile, Discord floated over to her and scooped her up.

"Oh, we're not mad," he assured. "We just don't like your frown…but I know just the cure for that!" He then began blowing raspberries into her tummy, making her scream with laughter.

"Celly, help!" she cried out to her big sister. "Dissy's tickling me!" Celestia laughed as she then joined her two favorite entities in all of Equestria in their play. Nothing will ever tear them apart…

*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*

"Oh, Discord…" Celestia sighed, hugging herself and her necklace with tears flowing from her eyes. This piece of jewelry was the engagement present he gave her, and she kept it always…even after darkness consumed his heart and forced her and Luna to seal him away in stone to stop his everlasting chaos. That event happened on the day before their wedding.

The necklace held so many memories for her of Discord: their confession of love to each other; the games they played together; their first kiss…

TAP! TAP! TAP! Celestia shot up her head and turned to her window. Outside was Kaa, tapping at the window. Getting up from her bed, she wiped her tears and opened the window.

"Kaa?" she asked with surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"My massster wantsss me to give you thisss," he answered, handing her a rectangular prism-shaped package in pink wrapping and topped with green, blue, and violet ribbons. Feeling her face blush a little, Celestia took the package with her horn's magic.

"I hope everything isss alright," the snake then said to her, sounding a little timid. She looked down at him in confusion and saw that he's looking away, not wanting to look her in the eye.

"What do you mean?"

"I…I sssaw you crying," he answered with a gulp. "If it'sss about what my massster almossst did, I want to apologize for him…"

Kaa, feeling bad for her? Perhaps there's a bit of good in his new henchmen after all.

"Oh, it is nothing, Kaa," she assured him. "I was just…remembering the past. But could you do me one small favor in return for the package?" Kaa looked up at her in reply.

"Of courssse," he answered.

"Please don't tell Discord that you saw me crying," she told him with sad eyes. "If he finds out about it, it would simply break his heart…and I just don't want that."

"My lipsss are sssealed, Your Majesssty," he replied, bowing to her like a gentleman.

"Thank you, Kaa," she said to him with a smile. "But I think you better go now. If my sister finds you here, she could launch an attack upon you at first glance."

"I underssstand," he replied. "Thank you." He then flew off to rejoin his master Discord. After closing the windows again, Celestia returned to her bed with the package in her possession. She carefully undid the ribbon and wrapping so that they are each in one piece.

The gift turned out to be a crimson red book with golden swirls and golden letters that said I Could Never Forget. Curious, Celestia opened the book and looked through the pages. Each page holds a picture created from the magic and memories that Discord held of her. And underneath each picture was a title to describe the picture: The Day We Met; Our First Game; My First Gift to You; Our Holding Baby Luna for the First Time; Our First Lessons to Luna…

Celestia then felt her eyes well up with tears as she looked at the last four pages that have something inside of them.

The first of them was a picture of her and Discord sitting under the cherry blossom tree together and watching baby Luna play with the butterflies. Under it was the title My Confession of Love to You.

The second was a picture of Discord proposing to Celestia with the necklace he had made for her. Under it was the title My Proposal to You.

The third was a picture of the two of them sharing their first kiss, exactly how Celestia remembered it. Under it was the title Our First Kiss.

The last page before the book fell to blank pages really got Celestia's tears flowing. It was a note written to her from Discord:

To my Beloved Celestia,

The Golden Arrow had more than made me fall back in love with you; it has made me remember our childhood together. The day we first met and became the best of friends; the times we've spent together and with Luna; our confession of love followed by my proposing to you…

Even the kiss reminded me of our first kiss. To prove to you that I remember it all, I've made for you this book of my memories with you. The blank pages after them are for you to fill in with your own memories with me or of Twilight and her friends. Just place your horn on the blank page and remember a memory of them or us. The book will make it into a picture of us together in that memory or of your little Ponies. All you have to do afterwards is write down the title.

And don't you worry. I won't cause your kingdom any trouble with my chaotic powers. Since there limited now, I'll rarely cause a little mischief. However, it doesn't mean I won't try to win you back. I'll find a way. And if we're lucky, your faithful student and her friends will find love as well.

Forever your number one,

Discord.

P.S. Thanks for the kiss.

Celestia smiled before turning to the first blank page. Can this book really turn whatever memory she has of her and Discord into a picture? Deciding to test it, she thought of a good memory and placed her horn on the blank page. She then focused on that memory and felt a strange aura emitting from the page. Opening her eyes and lifting her head up, she saw that a picture had appeared on the page. It is of her and Discord kissing at the ruins a few hours ago.

It worked! It really worked! Getting an inked quill with her horn's magic, Celestia then began righting down the perfect title for the picture.

Falling Back in Love with You.

Pleased with her gift from Discord, Celestia closed the book and hugged it.

"I hope my little Ponies find love as well, Discord…" she whispered softly before falling asleep with the book in her arms

*~*~*DCDCDC*~*~*

Just to warn you, the second of my True to Your Heart Series is going to be a MLP/Looney Tunes crossover, so I would suggest looking up Looney Tunes in the My Little Ponies crossover thing. Just go to My Little Ponies in and hit the crossovers tab. When you get to the crossovers, look up and hit the Looney Tunes tab. You'll find my second fanfic of the series in there. Hope you've enjoyed the first of my series. There will be more to come.
