"Coming!" yelled Twilight, putting down the book she was reading. Trotting downstairs, she opened up her front door. In the frame stood her new teacher and mentor, Starswirl. "Come on in, Starswirl!" she said happily, inviting him in. He walked in with purpose and took a seat on the floor.

"Can I ask you something?" asked Starswirl.

"You already have, but you can ask me something else." answered Twilight.

"You know after the whole Solaris thing, me and Tia started dating again, right?"

"Uh-huh." nodded Twilight.

"Well, that was a month ago. While that's not very long for two new lovers, me and Tia have a lot of history, so I don't feel we're rushing into this." said Starswirl, unaware on how to proceed.

"No way. Are you going to-"

"Not without your permission. I already asked Luna and she said to talk it over with you."

"What makes you think my opinion would matter?" asked Twilight curiously.

"Tia regards you as a daughter. She'll heed your advice. I also wouldn't do it if you didn't want me to." replied Starswirl. "If you don't approve, then…"

"Of course you can marry Princess Celestia." said Twilight. "I mean, of course, I give you permission. This is assuming she'll say yes."

"As if she could say no to this handsome hunk of stallion." said Starswirl arrogantly, turning to leave the library. "Well, thank you! I have to go propose! Wish me luck. No, actually, don't. I don't need it." He galloped out of the library, shutting the door behind him. When Twilight was sure he was gone, she ran back upstairs. Looking out of her window, she could see Starswirl riding out of Ponyville on a chariot driven by two white pegasi.

"Finally, the pieces all fall into place." said Twilight, her eyes turning blood-red. She sat down and picked up her book titled Dark Magic Through History and continued to read.

Author's Note: I know, I know, obvious sequel is obvious. Well, if you are reading this note, one of two things is true: 1) You finished the story or 2) You read stories from the end to the beginning. If the latter is true, you are weird but interesting. If the former is true, then thank you for sticking with the story to the end. Please review honestly if you're going to review at all. This being my first story ever, I think it came out pretty OK. Hope you enjoyed. Farewell!
