It was very quiet and sky was still cloudy. Celestia and Twilight Returned once more before they started back.

    “Did you know that this is the place where you became a princess?”  

     “But, this doesn't look anything like where you brought me.”

      Celestia began to fly toward the sky, “Follow me.”

      It felt like forever but eventually when they passed the grey rolling clouds and into the atmospheres of the colored sky and the cotton clouds below could no longer be seen, Twilight realized they were there. They stopped flying and landed on a path of what looked like stars or glowing light.

     “This is where you brought me?”

      “Yes Twilight.”

Both of their memories and feelings started to appear as scenes around them.

      “This is also a unique place, it only portrays images of an alicorn's memories and feelings.”

     “Wow.” Twilight was in awe, as she slowly walked by the images.

“I remember that one, when I accidentally hatched Spike out of his egg.” They both watched the scene in front of them play out as they ignored the other painful thoughts they were having about the soon future.

     “This is the place both leaders are born and.” Celestia quickly stopped herself from saying the word fall, she then again looked at Twilight watching the scene play out in front of them, “Twilight, When the future takes place, you will have to come here yearly. I have already drawn up a map for you and the date the event takes place. It is necessary tool to help you through the millenniums.”

    “Millennium?” Twilight met her teacher's eyes.

    “Yes.”

     “What about my friends?”

     “Unless they are made mortal, you will outlive them. If you or I made them into alicorns they could rule with you but only for a short time, fate is a funny thing. They will find their own kingdoms to rule out of necessity.”

     Twilight looked down to think, “If they became princess' like me-” a scene of her friends appeared in front of her as alicorns, they both watched it, “they won't be with me?...”

     Celestia then broke Twilight's conversation with herself and proceeded to walk around her, “You will be the new ruler of Equestria, Over the years there must be new rulers to take on special things, like friendship, kindness, honesty, and loyalty? These are only examples, you will still be The Princess of Friendship but you must raise another to take your place. I will show you the spell to make another an alicorn once we get home but, it is up to you what you wish to do and your judgment on who has the right qualities, attitude, and readiness to take on that task.”

     Twilight felt a little light headed, “That is a big task, what if I'm not the right leader to take on this role? Cadence has more experience than I.”

     Celestia lowered herself to get to the same level as she, “I believe in you, you have more than the right qualities to take on this task, there will be hard days and when you feel a little overwhelmed, Cadence has an empire to oversee with a people who depend on love to protect their kingdom which calls for Cadence, but you? Not even Cadence could stand up to Tirek, Your the one who found the crystal heart and had the humility to have somebody else you trusted to save the kingdom.” She doubted herself, She was about to go on about how inexperienced she was but was stopped by the words so familiar to her, “You'll be fine Twilight.”

They woke the guards at the royal inn (the town was familiar with the queen coming once a year so they had the inn built for her, however, they have high class ponies visit in town so they're open year round.)

     So they started their journey home, meanwhile at the Crystal Empire.

     “Please let us in, it's an emergency!” The royal guard stood motionless blocking the way of  Rainbow dash and the others.

    “Here let me try!” Rarity insisted, “Oh what beautiful, umm.. Helmets you have!”

    Rainbow dash then whispered to Fluttershy, “Helmets?”  

    Rarity went on despite hearing what Rainbow dash said, “Won't you please let us through, we would be so grateful! I could compensate you gentle men with gems!” they stood motionless “DRATS!” it was like they couldn't hear a word they said.

    Luna then appeared behind the guards walking down the hall, “What is thy problem my friends? Move aside I must speak with them.” The guards moved to the side.

    “Luna thank goodness your here!” Fluttershy said in her more, excited voice, Applejack spoke after her.

    “Luna, Twilight and your sister have been gone for days now! You must look with us.”

    Rarity then impeded, “We have no idea where to search or start.”

    Luna gave them a relieved look, “I am aware of this my little ponies, They are fine and should be back soon.” The others were puzzled, Luna knew where they were but they themselves were not told about this?

   “How come we didn't know about this?” Applejack questioned.

    “So we wouldn't have to fret all these days for nothin'?”

    “I am sorry my little ponies, there was no cause for worry.” suddenly as she finished her words a scroll appeared out of mid air, “To my dearest sister Lulu, we are on our way back and should be home in time for a delightful supper, Signed Princess Celestia.”

    Apple jack took her hat toward her chest, “Phew they're coming back then...”

   Luna then rerolled the scroll, “Yes dear filly's, they are coming back.”

   Fluttershy then smiled, “Oh good, that means we could go home to all our little animal friends.”
