In the months that passed since the day everything returned to normal, things changed for everypony involved in the incident for the better.

Travis and Pinkie's baby was an earth pony filly, who they named Strawberry Sundae, after the first thing that they made together. She is considered the most precious thing they made, and they treat her like the treasure she is.

Little Strawberry takes after both of her parents, and enjoys baking with her mother, helping out by piledriving the eggs, suplexing the flour bags, and creating her own high-flying acrobatic attacks as she mixes the ingredients in the bowl.

Strawberry quickly became friends with the Cake twins, and enjoys playtime with them every time that Pinkie needs to foalsit, especially with Pound Cake, given their mutual love of destruction and rough play. Many years down the road, the two began dating, and she would remain best friends with Pumpkin Cake for years to come.

Travis kept earning his income by performing various jobs around town. Occasionally, the princesses had a seriously high paying job for him that allowed him to save up and buy an actual house for his new family.

Their new house has all the accommodations that Travis wished he had living in that crappy motel (namely that all the rooms are under one single roof). They even had enough money left over to add a room to the building, which Travis and Pinkie made into a playroom for their daughter. He still defends Equestria with his friends and family when needed.

Pinkie continued her work at Sugarcube Corner, though it had to be slightly cut back due to her daughter needing to be taken care of. But things are different, now that she has had experience taking care of foals. Her ability to swiftly juggle work and family astounds ponies who see her do it.

Jeanne looked after the baby like she was her own kitten. That is until she had a litter of her own with a stray tomcat she met one day. Each of the kittens went to a loving home, except for one who Travis kept for his own. He named her Nibbles, due to the way she gnaws everything new she finds.

Rainbow Dash and Henry had a foal of their own almost a year later. A pegasus colt who they named Shooting Star, given his affinity for speed, much like his mom. He didn't take much after his dad, other than a slick fashion sense. He wore his first dress shirt at six weeks, and his first blazer at eight weeks. His parents couldn't possibly have been prouder of him when he got to the first stage of the sonic rainboom at a mere two years old before he stopped.

Dash gave up on her dream of joining the Wonderbolts. As far as she was concerned she was needed by her family. That, and the knowledge that she was able to fly faster and more agilely than any of them, and create a sonic rainboom was more than enough for her. There was always that 'what if' in her mind, but thoughts of her husband and son were more than enough to put her doubts to rest. She had everything she needed, and she knew it.

Henry took up a job teaching swordplay to the soldiers in Canterlot. His finessed, agile, technical style became the standard for all the soldiers in the castle to practice. He even made a friend of his own, the captain of the guard, Shining Armor, who wanted to learn Henry's energy orb technique for himself. The first orb he ever conjured shot straight through eight walls in the castle.

Shinobu kept up her work with Rarity, and the two created a successful line of casual wear, helpfully promoted by Peaches Parfait, who became the boutiques' top promoter, spreading word far and wide about the styles that could be found in the little shop. On the side, Shinobu taught the Cutie Mark Crusaders how to fight like her, since they wanted to toughen up after they got moshed into mush. The three found their cutie marks when Applebloom split herself into seven copies, Sweetie Belle created an entire wall of energy, and Scootaloo shot a larger sonic blade than Shinobu could ever muster.

Fluttershy did what she planned on doing, and adopted Flutterbutt as her son. The two live peacefully, and he helps around by pollinating the garden as needed. With her around, his kind deeds are always rewarded, and he expressed his thanks by introducing her to a mare he knew.

It turned out that Cream was into mares the same way that Fluttershy was. After signing to a record label, cutting an album, and becoming a huge name in the underground music scene, Flutterbutt introduced her to his momma, and the two enjoyed a wonderful time together. They currently live together in Fluttershy's cottage, where they enjoy the romantic evenings together.

Glastits became an open mic legend at Stagger Jack's, keeping even the lowest drunk's spirits high with his irreverent, offbeat sense of humor. When he's not on the stage, he works at the bar, waiting tables and pouring drinks. He also doubles as a bouncer, able to hold off even the meanest drunks that come passing through.

True to her word, Gina returned to Applejack after a little over a year passed by. Also true to her word, she had found a way to make up for her mistreatment and abuse. She spent the year tracking down any traces of the Apple family lineage, and came back with a trunk full of possessions that belonged to both of her parents, in perfect condition no less. The ones that weren't immaculate were restored by her personally. Applejack still hadn't changed her mind about the griffin, but she now allowed her to visit anytime that she wanted.

Spike read his only copy of Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly over and over, becoming distressed that he would never know how the story progressed. Twilight inspired him to write the rest on his own, prompting him to independently publish his own series of Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly comics (modified for a pony audience, of course). Each book released in the series shot to the top of the best sellers list, having applied the lessons in storytelling he learned from Twilight's lectures. Of course, Travis helped with the story as well, asking that the girls would now kiss for fanservice.

Twilight is naturally very proud of Spike's success, and promotes his book through her library and other outlets. She helped him along and got him booked to appear at a convention in the summer.

Through it all, they remained very close to one another. They carried on peacefully, interrupted occasionally by the impending force of evil, and enjoyed the magic that their friendship filled their lives with for the rest of their days.

Author's Notes:

Sorry, folks. I don't think there's anything left to say at this point but to wish you all to rock on. Unless you have anymore questions about the story. \m/
