Final Chapter: A Bright United Future

Hope: Day 22
Nightfall: Day 36

~ Two weeks later… ~

Princess Twilight Sparkle’s POV

It had been two week since our fight with Sombra. I hadn’t even realised how quickly time has passed. I had just recently became a princess other day and gotten wings. I was worried about being a show off to my friends but they seem happy for me. I’ve even been so excited practising flying. I cannot say the same for Spike though, since he had to hold back throwing up on me while riding on my back during errands. I hadn’t got fully used to flying but I’m learning.

Nightfall has been in a deep coma. He has been resting in the Hospital Wing in Canterlot Castle ever since the incident. We all had paid a few visits and found Princess Luna laying on the ward bed with him each day during her sleep hours. Even though she was worried and he couldn’t bring himself to wake up, she was able to reach and communicate with him in their dreams. Well, that’s what she told us. We were all so worried about him. Hope convinced us that he will come back to us. The doctors even say they had no idea how long he be like this and that he just needed time and rest.

Eventually, he did finally awoke a week later in time for Fluttershy’s and Hope’s wedding. He struggled to move a bit but Princess Luna guided him back on to his hooves and is back to resuming being a Prince with her on the Canterlot throne.

I don’t know though. I can see eternity is going to weigh him down. But every time I see him look at Princess Luna, he smiles every time.

The snow that had covered the towns and cities all across Equestria had finally melted. This very weather was the very thing that was needed to warm up Hope and Fluttershy’s relationship. Which in turn made most of the critters hibernate thinking it’s Winter early, thus giving the loving couple lots of free time together.

That adorable couple, Fluttershy and Hope, had got married earlier this week in Canterlot. Luckily, Nightfall was able to wake up a day before and attain it. Even Fluttershy was brave enough to handle the fear of large crowds. To her, just knowing that Hope was there, waiting for her, down the hall along the red carpet was all she needed to succeed in reaching for him.

Thankfully, Hope had let go of his dislike and distrust towards the changelings. Surprisingly he didn’t seem to mind having them join the wedding. Well, they did help save Equestria from a corrupt king. Even Queen Chrysalis was invited there, sat at the front, with the Princesses. He had personally asked Princess Luna if she would kindly offer to perform the ceremony for them. She graciously accepted his proposal. To her, just knowing another somepony- err somewolf appreciated her made her even more happy.

Later on that wedding night. King Cocoon joined him for one night at Applejack’s bar playing pool. Everypony was there. We all had such a great laugh together.

As weeks went on. Hope and King Cocoon has started become, what Hope called, buddies.

It’s amazing how once what was our enemies had became our allies and friends.

Nowadays, we see changelings mixed with us ponies hanging around Ponyville. I could had sworn I saw a changeling and earth-pony walking past with a filly or a colt that was half changeling and pony. Who would had thought changelings and ponies could co-exist together. But I think this was only the beginning for us. Of course, we just had one or two incidents here and there but they got fixed.

It took a bit of time but the crystal-ponies had managed to repair all the destruction in the Crystal Empire. My brother and Cadance sometimes comes and pays us a visit as we do the same. It’s like we are such an awesome family.

Can’t say everything was perfect though. In case you wondering. Let’s just say Hope and Discord, after he was freed from being a statue, had a serious fight, since Hope thought he was going to harm their son, Jet.

Yes, Hope and Fluttershy had both had a half pegasus and half wolf colt… or pup together. One of the noticeable things was that Jet had a pink mane fringe that he got part of Fluttershy. All my friends thought he was just so adorable. I just thought he was just beyond cute.

It took a day but Fluttershy managed to change Discords ways. However, Discord and Hope is a different story for another day.

I don’t know. Peace has returned to Equestria and everypony was living happily. And yet. There was a bigger world to explore for us all. An exciting new world to explore together.

“Twilight, are you ready?” Trixie called from downstairs from our bedroom, in Ponyville.

I answered, just as I finished closing my suitcase, “I’ll be right there.”

Well, I got to go. Me and my friends are going camping for the weekend. I got to admit. Even though there good times and bad times, life is full of adventure.

Having one last look outside my window. I then pickup my suitcase with magic and run down stairs. There, waiting for me, was all my friends, all loaded with their equipment, smiling and waiting for me. Even Hope can’t leave without Fluttershy. I smile spoke, “Let’s go everypony. A new adventure awaits us.”

Author's Notes:

Authors Note: As I promised. I’ve finally completed the story. I cannot believe it took near two years to do. It’s been a long and hard journey but we have finally finished it. We would like to thank everyone who has followed us thus far and for the reviews. We had read every one of them. All that’s left is the bonus chapter. For those wondering if we are going to make another story based of this one. It’s very unlikely I be doing it. But my co-writer may make one. Lastly, I’ve decided not to include a second bonus chapter for deleted scenes and ideas. But if anyone is interested. I could post a link on my profile to a document with them with explanations.
