After they'd all returned to Canterlot, they said goodbye to Skyress and chose to retire for the night. All but Midnight and Twilight, as she was not happy with Midnight as they stood in Twilight's old tower as he was trying to apologize for his uncalled-for behavior.

“Twilight, I said I was sorry. I don’t know what came over me….”

“That doesn’t change the fact that you YELLED AT LUNA AND SKYRESS!!!! They were just catching up on things and then you just stormed in there like a war dog ready to kill!” Twilight admonished, Midnight's ears down in shame.

“Twilight, I just wanted answer, I..." Midnight sighed an Twilight's stern look softened when she finally saw how morose her stallion was.

"I was afraid….I was afraid that Nova would come back to hurt you guys and I was prepared to do whatever it takes to stop him! ...But I know now that he isn’t as bad as he seemed. I’m sorry, Twily...”

Twilight was a bit surprised, but felt her heart warm as she now realized Midnight had only been concerned with her and their friends' safety. She nuzzled up to him, whispering, "It’s okay, Midnight. I shouldn't have yelled at you as I did, and I shouldn't have assumed the worst in you for your behavior. It's just... Just please promise you'll do better to control your anger."

Midnight couldn't resist.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

The couple gave each other the same reassuring smile before they shared a tender loving kiss.

“Now why don’t we get something to eat?” Twilight suggested.

“I'll order from Doughnut Joe's," Midnight agreed.
