The six ponies woke up groaning. The last thing any of them remembered was a bright white light engulfing them.

"Oh," Rainbow Dash groaned, "my head."

"Everypony alright?" Applejack asked, looking at the others.

"Oh thank goodness!" Rarity shouted as she got back on her hooves. A large grin spread across her mouth as she looked at her tail. It had miraculously grown back.

"Oh Rarity," Fluttershy said, "it's so lovely."

"I know!" The white unicorn mare gave her tail a shake. "I'll never part with it again." Shifting, she nuzzled her cheek against the soft deep purple hair.

"No," the yellow pegasus replied, "you're necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark."

Rarity looked down, noticing that she in fact did have a necklace. It was a gold band and setting that held a purple jewel in the shape of a lozenge cut diamond. Looking from it to her flank, Rarity noticed that it was quite similar as her friend had said. Her eyes then noticed the necklace around Fluttershy's neck.

"Why, so does yours."

"Look at mine, look at mine!" Pinkie Pie shouted excitedly as she bounced toward the others.

Shining Armor shifted, trying to look at the helmet he wore. Unfortunately, wearing it made it difficult to make out most of the details. He could tell that it looked to be made out of some sort of gold-colored metal, same as the necklaces. What he could not see what that on his forehead, below his horn was a jewel. It was a pink gemstone in the shape of a six pointed star, similar to the one that made up his cutie mark.

"Gee, Shining," Applejack said, "I thought you were just spouting a lot of hooey. But I reckon, we really do represent The Elements of Harmony."

"Indeed you do," an ethereal feminine voice said, drawing the attention of the six ponies.

Through a window, they could see the sun rising between some distant hills. It rose at a rapid rate, growing brighter as it did. The yellow light turned into a blinding white color, as an orb of light entered the room. From it emerged a white alicorn. Her great white wings were spread out behind her as she looked at the six of them. Her mane and tail were the pastel colors of the sunrise, shifting and waving with ethereal magic and energy.

At the sight now before them, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack each bowed down.

"Princess Celestia," Shining Armor called out excitedly. He trotted toward her with a grin, pressing his body against her.

"Shining Armor," the princess replied. "My faithful student." Leaning down, she rubbed her chin against his back. "I knew you could do it."

"You... you did?" He looked up at her, blinking.

"Indeed. You just needed to let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well."

"Princess Luna!" Celestia called out.

Where Nightmare Moon had once stood, there now lay the shattered remnants of her armor, and an alicorn who gasped out at the name. She was smaller than Celestia or Nightmare Moon, maybe about half the size. Her coat was a dark blue, with a lighter tinted mane and tail. Her flank had a black cloud with a white crescent moon as a cutie mark. Her eyes opened wide as she stared at the approaching form of the white alicorn.

"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this," Celestia said as she approached. "It's time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together little sister."

"Sister?" Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash asked in surprise.

"Will you accept my friendship?" the princess asked, looking down at her sibling.

"I'm so sorry!" Luna cried as she rushed to Celestia. "I missed you so much, big sister." She nuzzled against her sister's neck, tears running from her eyes.

"I've missed you too," Celestia replied, her own eyes starting to tear up.

The moment was interrupted by the sound of Pinkie Pie bursting into tears.

"HEY!" the pink pony shouted as she suddenly perked up. "You know what this calls for?"

"A PARTY!'
