The celebration for this event was happening far sooner than the last one. The Bearers arrived within Canterlot shortly before the official ceremony. The streets were mostly deserted, as everypony was no doubt up at the castle in the room where the celebration would be held, but there was the occasional group of ponies that cheered for them while they made their way through the streets with Nightwing, Bright Star and some of the Solar guards escorting them. Sometimes, one would attempt to get closer but end up getting pushed away by the guards.

Most of them waved back, or else only acknowledged them with a smile or shy glance. Fluttershy, promptly hid behind her mane. So much attention was always something difficult for her.

Others like Naruto who was used to this kind of praise and admiration simply chose to just smile back. That seems to be enough as some of the mares would blushed and start talking excitedly to their friends.

This did not escape the herd's notice, as they would either glare or push closer to Naruto protectively.

The first memory that came to his mind was the incident after Nagato and how he was welcomed back a hero.

Finally they arrived at the grand hall that would lead to Canterlot tower. The guards assumed positions close to the door as it shut, while they climbed the stairs to the doors that would lead them into the tower itself.

Behind them, the crowds of ponies were talking excitedly with one another for their arrival, which was due to be any minute now.

The fanfare from behind the door started to play, signaling their cue to enter the tower. Fluttershy too was shocked at the sound but, surprisingly, she managed to collect herself and stand as bravely as she could. Naruto reached out and grasp her hand which helped calmed her down.

The doors creaked opened as they saw the sheer multitude of ponies who had turned out for the ceremony. All eyes turned on them when the doors opened and one could easily suggest nearly the entirety of Canterlot had arrived.

They walked up the aisle along the soft red carpet.

The princesses were waiting for them at the very end of the room, their gazes the warmest of all. Celestia beamed radiantly at them, the beauty of the sun shining in her eyes. Luna and Cadance stood by at sides, shorter yet still having presences, looking equally as proud.

They stood in a moment of silence, allowing the princesses to appraise them, along with the crowd.

Finally, Celestia spoke, her voice echoing around the room. "We are gathered here today to once again honor the heroism of these seven friends who placed their lives on the line and fought against the mad god of Chaos Discord and not only saved Equestria, but the entire world from eternal chaos."

She allowed the crowd to cheer in celebration at her words. Applejack's grinned in appreciation, Rainbow raised both her arms in triumph, Fluttershy hid behind her mane again, Pinkie beamed her brightest smile, Rarity waved daintily, Twilight smiled sheepishly, and Naruto wore a proud dignified look.

"Peace!" Luna's Royal Voice brought silence once more, allowing her to step to the forefront. "For many years, we have believed that there were only six Elements of Harmony. But now, here today, it is revealed that there is and always have been a seventh, in the form of this young stallion." Naruto felt all eyes on him. "We can now feel reassured that the Laughter, Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity and Magic are now stronger than ever with the bond of Empathy uniting them all."

Cadance took up the speech. "It was thanks to his best efforts that saw to it that the seven of them not only continue the fight, but help all those who fell under Discord's spell restored to their former selves. We hope this serves as an example that the light of friendship will always be there and it connects each and every one of us." Celestia pulled down one curtain that was hung up on the wall, whilst Luna did the other, revealing new stained glass windows that displayed historical moments in Equestrian history.

It was their moment of triumph. The seven bearers blasting Discord. The prismatic beam consuming him in harmonious light.

After the ceremony a party took place, in the same room the Gala had been of course. While not as formal as the gala the food and atmosphere was still pretty high scale.

A grin formed on his face though as the uptight noble types found they were forced to share the same breathing place with all the Ponyville inhabitants who were able to make the trip.

Their presence seemed to intimidate some of the elite, who looked uncomfortable with their sheer size and lack of formal etiquette.

Naruto had to hold back his laughter. Despite all this he had feeling a good deal of them will go back to focusing on themselves now that the crisis was resolved.

During the course of the event the bearers had found themselves approached by many big names in their respective fields who took interest in them after tidbits of knowledge were made public from gossip shared by Ponyville ponies.

Rainbow was barely keeping it cool as she was approached by the Wonderbolts team. It was amusing to catch Spitfire's shock when she realized Rainbow Dash was being trained by her mom.

Fluttershy was conversing with a red furred mare by the name of Sweet Heart who shared her love for animals.

Rarity was in the admist of many ponies from the world she loved so much. Hoity Toity, Scarlet O'Hara and even Photo Finish who was looking to curry favor with Rarity considering how she flat out ignored the mare in favor of Fluttershy.

Applejack and Carrot Top were getting along, speaking about farm work as both mares and stallions approached them, some being more subtle than others in their interest in apples despite most of them not even sparing Applejack a second thought not too long ago at the Gala.

Pinkie Pie was on course jamming on stage with Viynl.

Twilight was of course excitedly immersed with talking with her family about all that happened. Apparently her mother said something embarrassing as Twilight's cheeks burned red. Twilight Velvet then turned to him and winked, cluing him in on what likely the topic was about. The look armor sent him not too long after was an even bigger clue.

"I want you to meet someone." Ditzy had suddenly dragged him to meet a mare whose fur was a lighter variation of hers with sandy blonde hair, but the same colored eyes. She was a mare who looked to be in her forties wearing the same black ball gown like Ditzy, but with an expensive looking shawl. This mare could easily pass as her mother.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Captain. I am Dazzling Do, Ditzy's grandmother."

Grandmother? Well Dazzling was right. "Nice to meet you Miss Dazzling." Talking to the mare had proved to be a fun and pleasant experience as she proved to have both a sharp wit and tongue. Both she put to use when some of the nobles tried to insert themselves into their conversation.

He was soon stolen away as the herd approached him for dances. It seemed like he spent an hour on the dance floor before he was finally able to excuse himself. He took a trip out to the gardens to gaze at the moon above.

"I'm the one who is supposed to be the Shinobi around here." he said without turning around. "Since when does the Sun Goddess skulk around at night?"

He heard the sound of her heeled hooves against the payment. "You make it seem like so much fun." She spoke in a sweet voice. "I could not help myself. Also I did not want to disturb you."

"Thank you, but you could never disturb me." He turned around to behold her, her beauty still stunning.

"Thank you…" She gazed at him thoughtfully for a moment. "I thought you would be enjoying the party with the other bearers."

"I needed some fresh air. The last twenty-Four hours were rather hectic."

"It is always good to take a moment to let your worries depart from you."

"Speaking of which are you sure its okay for you to be out there and not supervising? We would not want the Canterlot ponies to lose their mind without you being there to zip up their fancy jackets." He joked as Celestia took a few more steps before joining his side.

"Tonight that honor belongs to my sister and niece. After all it is my duty to see 'all' of my subjects who wish to embrace Harmony are happy and healthy."

"Thoughtful as always Celestia."

"Of course. You are my dearest friend," she said, with all warmth and sincerity.

Naruto felt his heart beat. He turned to look at Celestia and his breathing started to become shallow. Something about her was more radiant then he had ever known. He had not felt like this since he had seen her for the very first time.

Celestia could feel her heart speed up as she noticed his gaze. How he looked at her. Like she was the only thing in the world. Her body began to move and she couldn't stop herself. "Or maybe…"

"Maybe…?" Naruto moved to her as all pretenses of personal space was gone.

Did. Did Celestia?

"Sister!" Luna's booming voice caused the Sun Goddess to freeze before taking a step back. If Luna hadn't intervened she would have…

"You presence is needed!" Luna said as her eyes were filled with urgency. "Honesty has suggested she could out drink me. I cannot let such a slight go unchallenged." The expression on Luna's face that followed was absolutely adorable. A mare like her should never pout. It was just far too cute.

Celestia could not help but groan. This was what had Luna up in a tizzy? An insult to her pride as a drinker? Some things never changed. "Sister? What do you need me for?"

"We need access to all materials to make Moonshine sister. I was unable to find the necessary ingredients." She explained.

"Luna the stock of corn you used to use for Moonshine can no longer be found in this region. It was wiped out three hundred years ago. You would have to get the crop exporting from the southern nation of Caniva …" In a flash Luna was gone.

Celestia began massaging her forehead.

"She is the goddess of wine." Naruto reminded her as Celestia nodded.

"Trust me I know. I am just surprised it took until now for her to bring up the subject. My sister and I are both quite fond of her Moonshine as it was called."

Naruto snorted and playfully call her an alcoholic. "So it is not madness that spurs your evil deeds, but the drink."

"One of these days I really will have to commission that special cell for you." Celestia casually remarked as she extended out of her horn. "If you would be so kind as to escort me back Captain."

"Of course princess." Naruto said locking arms with her and leading her back inside so they could enjoy the rest of the party.

1. Caniva is the equivalent of Bolivia as Corn is there second major food crop I believe.
