Author's Notes:

yes i know its late but my motive has been down and 2016 kicked my ass more than it should've. But new year, new chapter, yay?

Harmony Oasis; Twilight & Sunset's Vinehouse

The party last night was certainly what Twilight called it; all out. Everyone had a blast! After dining on Dash's rainbow and fucking Fluttershy along with a magically lust driven Sci-Twi; Sunset had returned to the main party and had a few more dances and plenty of food. She even managed to kick ass in Street Brawler, Pony Kart 8 & Call to Arms much to the salt of the veteran gamers like Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Rainbow Applejack and Vinyl. The entire night was full of fun and mischief but they'd all managed to either pass out or just call it a night by about two am; Sunset and Twilight fell asleep having their normal female on female sex with no magic enhancement and were now tangled together under the covers of the blanket given to them by Rarity and Sunny Flare that came with the room. It was a large silk like blanket and it was a reddish violet hue and bore a mark that was a mix between her own and Twilight's.

They lay asleep together in passionate embrace and it was the warm light of the morning sunlight coming in through the crystal skylight made by her magic that awoke Sunset Shimmer from her slumber. Yawning and blinking the world came into view and she felt no headache or dry heaving...she thankfully felt no hangover! Yes! The spell she and princess Twilight cast on the drinks they'd drank had the exact affect she'd hoped for, all the fun of being hammered, none of the nasty side affects like a hangover. Giggling a bit to herself as she went through the motions of waking up she felt Twilight shift next to her as if to cuddle closer to her and kept her arms wrapped around her. Smiling at this Sunset cuddled closer to Twilight but continued to sit up and ran a hand through the girls disheveled hair.

"Rise and shine Sparky" Sunset said sweetly looking down upon her lover as the morning sunlight bled into the room and kissed their skin.

Feeling the warm rays of the sun peck at her skin from the skylight above, Twilight Sparkle yawned adorably and stretched and fumbled about just as so like a small animal rousing from its sleep. Her violet and pink streaked hair covered her face and eyes, she brushed it back and giggled lightly as she snuggled Sunset Shimmer, happy that the pony girl was there beside her as always.

"Morning Sunny" Twilight said between her yawns with a calm and gentle smile, her eyes still lidded slightly as she tried to fully wake up.

"Morning Sci-Twi" Sunset said with a giggle as she held Twilight close to her, their naked bodies pressed gently to one another as Sunset ran a hand through the girls hair. "Sleep well?" Sunset asked.

Twilight smiled peacefully and nuzzled Sunset and nodded. "Mmhm, last night was super fun" She finished with a yawn and ended with a giggle remembering the fun they'd had last night and what she'd managed to do before going to sleep as she ran a hand over Sunset's tummy.

"Haha tell me about it" Chuckling remembering just how much fun it was Sunset said. "You're a very devious little geek you know that Twilight Sparkle? Casting powerful lust magic on me and yourself in sync with my heat cycle? That was a very dirty little trick you pulled Twily" Sunset grinned a vixen like grin and bounced her eyebrows at Sci-Twi. "And the pounding you and Adagio gave me last night?" Sunset gave an impressed whistle and grinned at Twilight "Good Celestia and thank Luna that our magic heals us quick cause I wouldn't be able to walk right now otherwise." Sunset chuckled seeing Twilight's massive blush, seeing the girls bashful nature return. "But seriously, you were amazing last night Twi, your magic has gotten so strong! I mean I just couldn't help myself at all last night" Sunset blushed herself now remembering just how wild she'd gotten last night. "Never thought you'd do something like that though, I mean I've always been a bit of a nympho when we get into it but last night was just something else" Sunset by no means was upset with Twilight for what she did just still in shock that she managed to do it.

Giggling and twiddling her fingers with her eyes downcast Twilight smiled sheepishly "Oh yeah you were quite the wild party pony last night and everyone loved us; I just wanted to have as much fun as possible without worrying you know?" Twilight sighed " I know I can sometimes be an unintentional stick in the mud and a worrywart and I didn't wanna spoil the party and-mmmphf" She wasn't prepared for Sunset to silence her with a sneaky finger slid inside her pussy which made Twilight arch up and gave Sunset the chance she needed to steal a kiss to silence her further.

'Oh you're just the most selfless little angel ever aren't you?' Sunset thought

She kissed her deep and passionate and slid another finger inside her and padded her clit with her thumb which made Twilight moan into the kiss. Eventually Sunny began to finger bang Sci-Twi as she kissed her and with how she was tweaking her clit and Frenching her tongue? Twilight locked up and came on Sunset's hand heavily and slumped happily into the pony girl as their kiss broke.

Smiling calmly and with loving sweetness at Twilight, Sunset said. "You never have to try and change yourself Twilight; I love you as you are and would've had fun with you last night with or without magic turning you into an expert dancer and a bit of a nympho...."

"A bit?" Twilight arched an eyebrow and chuckled wryly

"Okay point taken we were both total nympho's last night and I loved it but that's beside the point here..." Sunset chuckled shaking her head. "The point is that no matter what I'll always love you, I'll always want to have a good time with you and have fun in whatever we do together Twi, but I won't complain if you use your magic that way though, after all its apart of who we are right?" Sunset smiled and locked fingers with Twilight after taking her hand from her pussy and licking her two fingers clean of her lovers arousal. "Mmm delicious as always"

Blushing and smiling at the show of affection Twilight nodded. "Yeah, it is; I guess I was being a little silly but I really wanted to just cut loose and put my magic to the test, luckily it had the desired affect and not another friendship games situation." Twilight chuckled

"Well we did turn into monsters just the hot lust driven kind...those are way better than raging she-demons." Sunset chuckled in return as she continued to hold Twilight.

Shaking her head chuckling Twilight said "Anyway what time is it? We should get the other girls up and ready so we can get back to campus; it's graduation day after all."

Using her magic to grab her phone from her pile of clothes she'd turn it on to check the time."You're right Twi; according to my phone it's...SHIT! WE'VE GOTTA GO!" Sunset's eyes widened as she looked at her phone and saw the time and teleported out of the vinehouse leaving her phone behind and Twilight caught the phone before it hit the ground with her magic and looked at the time and it read 11:50....the ceremony started at 12:30!

"OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! WE'RE GONNA BE T-T-T-T..."She dreaded that accursed word. "TARDY!!!!!!" Twilight shouted as she began to scramble around with her magic attempting to find her clothes and the items she'd need to do what she hoped to do during the ceremony .

As the two girls rushed about the Oasis they took the liberty of waking the others out of their deep slumbers in a variety of ways. The easy ones were Applejack, Rarity , Fluttershy, Starlight, Trixie and Moon Dancer. The rest took some magic coaxing and some few splashes of water or in Rainbow and Indigo Zap's case a dip in the oasis pool, and once everyone was awake they realized the time and scrambled to get ready. Luckily they had prepared and brought along their graduation gowns and caps along with their instruments since the rainbooms and dazzlings were going to preform before, during and after graduation into the party that was to be held at the campus auditorium.

Rarity of course had designed the caps and gowns in conjunction with Sunny Flare and Coco Pommel having won the right to do so after an encounter with Suri Polmare who at the time was trying to cease the opportunity for herself with designs she'd stolen from Rarity but with the help of her two fashion forward friends she'd managed to pull through and Suri got her just deserts. The primary caps and gowns for everyone minus the rainbooms and the dazzlings were of a gold and blue texture and gave off a regal type look with the gold trim and the horseshoe symbol for the Canterlot Wondercolts.

The Rainboom's and the dazzlings however had gowns tailored specific too them since they were all heads in their majors and clubs plus they would be preforming so Rarity only thought it fitting to mix their preforming clothes with their graduation gowns. Each girl's dressed was themed perfectly for them as to be expected of Rarity but they had a little extra 'flare' to them this time around since Rarity had help from Sunny Flare and Coco. The Dazzlings were especially excited because now they had their magic and their true voices back so they'd be sure the dazzle the crowd all throughout the ceremony.

"So is everyone ready?" Sunset asked as she slugged her guitar and backpack over her shoulders.

"As we'll ever be, this is the last act huh girls?" Twilight said with a wry smile.

"Yeah but the next act will be ever better! We have our whole lives ahead of us after this!" Pinkie cheered with a smile

"Ah agree with pinks; life's gonna move on and we gotta move right long with it and I reckon we're movin' in the right direction" Applejack affirmed tipping her stetson.

"Indeed darling, we've all come very far, made many good strides here and now that we've planted the seeds we need we'll be able to do so much more after we graduate! I've been doing some location scouting and I think I found the most delightful spot to set up shop in Canterlot Heights!" Rarity said clasping her hands together in excitement.

"Yeah and with all the money we've been saving up from our shows? We'll be set for a good while" Rainbow added

"I think as long as we keep to our plans and stay together we'll be okay" Fluttershy affirmed

"And don't forget us!" Trixie spoke up. "Trixie is positive her magic shows will be a big hit around town and bring folks in and with my two best assistants? Nothing is gonna stop us, right girls?" Trixie turned to Starlight and Moon Dancer

"I agree with Trix, I got so many new ideas to help her along with her magic acts now that I'm actually learning magic from you all too"

"I concur, I still find all this facet of magic to be incredibly interesting and wish to learn more so we can use it to better our world and if we can help spread the knowledge of the magic by preforming it? I can see nothing more fulfilling" Moondancer stated.

"Well enough standing around talking about the future, lets go make the future a reality." Sunset said snapping her fingers and opening a massive portal to the backstage of the graduation stage which startled everyone in attendance at first but then they realized it was just the rainbooms doing what they did. "Sorry we're late everyone...crazy party last night, you know how it goes."

"Glad you all made it in time Sunset" Said Dean Cadence with a smile. "You know how Twily hates to be tardy."

"Wouldn't miss this for anything, after all we're the opening and closing act; would be pretty rude if we didn't show." Sunset chuckled as everyone came through the portal and got ready to do their opening number as they were still hidden behind the currants . "Ooooh and Twily has some big news for you! But We'll wait until after graduation to tell you and the family what it is." Sunset chuckled almost unable to contain the big secret.

"Ooooh scandalous can I get a hint?" Cadence inquired.

Having already been told the big new the previous night before passing out Rarity was told by Twilight and Sunset to keep it a secret until they'd made their proposals; both completely clueless that one was going to propose to the other. "Ah, ah, ah darling; after...no spoilers" Rarity pushed dean Cadence away towards where she was to be positioned to introduce them for their opening number.

Pouting Cadence went to her position but still protested lightly. "Aww but..." Cadence whined slightly

"NO SPOILERS!" Rarity shouted in a slightly shrill voice

"Leave it to Rarity to keep the big secret...you don't think Shining will be too ticked do you?" Sunset chuckled as they set up to get ready to play their entry song

"Given we have magic and he's seen you blast trees apart with your magic? Nah he'll probably take it in stride; 'side he and Cadence had little Flurry right after Shining came back from the military when he was only twenty two, I'm the same age and graduating with high honors!" Twilight squeed with stars in her eyes.

"I know they're all proud of you, I wish Celestia could be here to see this; I abandoned my studies and never really graduated back in Equestria even though I was technically grades above everypony else being Celestia's pupil-" Sunset sighed and then felt a calm and embracing hand at her shoulder and she turned and as if she'd been listening there was principal Celestia in the princess' stead.

"Well If I could speak for your mentor Ms.Shimmer?" Celestia said with a smile as genuine as her equine counterparts. "I'm sure she's nothing but proud of you. I imagine your reunion was a pleasant one?" Celestia gave Sunset a knowing smirk

Nodding with a blush and smile on her face Sunset chuckled. "Yes...very pleasant...you helped me practice a lot"

"And did it go as we rehearsed?" Celestia chuckled quirking a brow

"I bawled my face off like a baby to her mother so... yeah exactly how we rehearsed" Sunset stated plainly with a shrug and chuckle which Celestia shared in.

"Well I am just glad you managed to gain some closure Sunset; you've come such a long way from being the rather-ahem...'difficult' young lady you used to be..." Celestia said with a wry smile trying not to bring up Sunset's past and how horrid she'd been.

"You don't have to sugarcoat it Celestia...I was an arrogant, petulant little bitch who thought the world owed her something and didn't care who I had to step on to get what I wanted and acted out against you in spite because you look like my adoptive mother whom I bore a pointless grudge against...I was wrong about a lot of things and how you managed to to handle my mere existence given how we had to well...you know-?"

Sunset and Celestia blushed in guilt along with Twilight Sparkle and Dean Cadence, all of whom who'd used their various skills to help Sunset forge documents that allowed her to remain in this world under the radar and event attend school. Sunset beforehand when she was evil did a pretty decent job of forging her documents with the aid of a couple of local con artists however with Celestia and Cadence's influence along with Twilight and Sunset's masterful skills at hacking? They'd managed to make it so that Sunset Shimmer would be her own person while trying her best not to steal the identity of the Sunset Shimmer that belonged in this world.

In her time in this world knowing that everyone had an opposite she'd never run into herself, she'd done all the research she could and had turned up nothing but even then at the time she only dug so deep and after awhile felt it best to just leave it alone and so far that seemed to be working just fine. It did creep in her mind late at night sometimes at what her human world self was like but she felt it was a matter of fate when she'd meet her or not but given her luck? It was just a matter of time and waiting her for her to turn up. However that wasn't what was important now; they had a show to put on!

"Well enough about the past...time to look to the future; right girls?" Sunset said with a smile to her group of friends.

"Right!" The girls all agreed in unison.

The entire thing was organized by the rainbooms and the dazzlings; Pinkie being the princess of party's and celebrations had easily managed to get a proper theme for the graduation ceremony after taking a poll from the campus students and then running it by all her friends whom of course found the idea to be a good one. They'd open with a song that would signify how far they've all come, then Twilight and Sunset would give the valedictorian speech, then everyone would get their diplomas and then they'd all close out with a farewell song. After that would all be said and done they'd all have the after party and their lives would go on from there once that chapter of their lives had closed.

As everyone got into position Cadence would go out to the main stage podium to address the crowd and it was a full stadium. Family and friends from here and far had come to see their loved ones pass into the next chapter of their lives, having endured such a rough four years of college.

"Friends, family; we gather here today to celebrate these fine young men and women who've endured through years of study, hardship and testing to stand here on this stage ready to run into the bright white light of their own futures swift as a sonic rainboom-"

"Did someone say rainboom?!" Shouted Rainbow Dash, her voice amplified by a magic spell cast by Twilight. Giving a heavy rip of her electric guitar the curtains would fly open revealing all the graduates and the girls decked out in full 'costume' and graduation cap and gown.

"Ladies and gentlemen your Canterlot University Rainbooms!" Cadence announced. "We will now begin the opening ceremony; girls? If you would be so kind as to remind everyone why we've all assembled here and who we all are?" Cadence asked with a grin

"Our pleasure Dean Cadence; girls? It showtime!" Sunset replied signaling the girls to get into position for the show.

Everyone erupted into cheers, claps, whistles and screams of joy seeing all their loved ones on stage ready to graduate. The girls had done a lot for the school and many knew of their feats of magic and so in honor of that the school had taken the bands name and also made it the branding for the schools 'team' and had adopted the magic of friendship as an actual teaching; with having had Sunset and Twilight as teachers? It was kind of impossible for them not too and they all couldn't be more honored.

As the cheers died down and everyone took their seats the girls would make way for a grand piano to be brought in and Rarity would take a moment to get herself set up at it while everyone else got into their individual positions. Rarity would take her place at the piano and taking her cue she along with Pinkie Pie would begin the first beats of the song with harmony being sung in backup by the dazzlings, the allure of the voices instantly taking affect visibly on the crowd as clouds of mist of different colors began leaking from everyone and made their voices louder but synced in perfect unison. Rarity danced her slender white fingers across the keys of the piano and allowed its melody to take her and Pinkie Pie put a steady and calming beat on the face of her drums. The first to begin speaking/singing was Rainbow Dash as she was the one who'd picked out this song as it was one that seemed most appropriate and one that was befitting of her ego.

Yeah, uhh...
Uhh...
Yeah..
It's the world's greatest, yo,
It's the world's greatest, come on,
World's greatest, ever

She was then followed by Sunset Shimmer and the other girls as they each took turns singing a line, their voices all ringing out in glorious amplified unison. Sunset, Applejack and Rainbow at this point were strumming their guitars and bass respectively and Fluttershy was tapping her tambourine masterfully as always.

I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
Oh, I am a swift wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
Oh, I am a vision
And I can see clearly

If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall, look 'em in the face and say!

The girls had all joined in singing now and the lights had dimmed as each of them stepped up onto center stage, their respective color of the rainbow shinning down upon them. Their voices were lead by Sunset & Twilight with the dazzlings providing back up and the resulting melody combined with the dazzlings new magic had made everyone in the crowd feel blissful, calm and full of cheer and excitement as if they weren't already and while the dazzlings feed on the positive energy the energy itself was amplified by the magic of friendship which only doubled the affects in an endless cycle.

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the world's greatest

Each of the girls, everyone on that stage who'd come this far; each and every single one of them on this day felt like champions, the greatest in their fields that the world had ever seen. They'd each come from near and far; some further than others, some had started from nothing and risen to greatness, others started with everything only to lose their way but found it again with the magic of friendship. They wanted to sing and shout their joys to the skies for all of Canterlot and the world to hear; for them to acknowledge that all these men and women had man it to the top of the mountain and were now ready to reach for the stars.

I am a giant
I am an eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
I am the people
I am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero

If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall, look 'em in the face and say

As the rainbooms and dazzlings sang in harmony their magic reacted as it naturally did when their euphoria and links to their true selves was tapped into. Each of them growing their extended hair, pony ears, wings and everyone was in shock and awe to see Sunset's phoenix wings sprout to life as she let her voice ring out with the others. Even the other graduates started singing and even though they sported no magic transformation they were no less magical as the ten girls on stage singing. The song was also helped along by Octavia and the C.U. orchestra since the song included strings that weren't guitar or bass.

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

[Chorus of Rainbooms, Dazzlings and graduates]
In the ring of life I'll reign love (I will reign)
And the world will notice a king (oh, yeah)
When all is darkest, I'll shine a light (shine a light)
And mirrors of success reflect in me (me)

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

It's the greatest
Can you feel it
It's the greatest
Can you feel it

[Chorus of Rainbooms, Dazzlings and graduates]
I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there
To pull me through, yeah
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through
Hey, uh, hey, hey, hey
It's the greatest
I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

The entire speculate was met with a dazzling and mind blowing rainbow light show that was purely generated off the rainbooms and dazzlings as they and the rest of the graduates sang of their victory. As the song came to its climax the students and everyone else would take their seats and dean Cadence would retake the stage as the girls all took a bow.

"Our Rainbooms and Dazzlings everyone! Aren't they just delightful folks?" Cadence asked via the mic and the crowd responded with thunderous applause . "Now without further delay lets begin the graduation ceremony with a speech from our valedictorians and you heard me right folks, for the first time in Canterlot Educational history there has been a draw for the valedictorian. Ladies and gentlemen give a warm round of applause for our star students; my niece Twilight Sparkle and her girlfriend and intellectual equal and other half of the most adorable couple this school has ever seen, Sunset Shimmer!"

Cadence announced the two girls in a fashion befitting her style and it instantly got a round of blushes from the two girls who gladly accepted their introduction and walked up to the podium. Both of them had prepared for this weeks in advance(in Twilight's case since she was seven) and had each added a special touch to the speech and both had planned to pop the question, both unaware that one was going to ask the other, it was just a matter of who asked first and who would say yes the fastest.

Standing side by side Twilight and Sunset looked out into the crowd that populated the stadium, all of their friends and family were there and that was a VERY large but at the same exclusive club. Twilight's family included both her parents, her older brother and her niece Flurry Heart as well as her various other family that came from Manhatten and other parts of Canterlot. As for Sunset? She was very surprised to see that even in disguise they were all in plain sight and looked down from the high seats with pride and love at her. Princess Twilight and the rest of her friends from ponyville whom she'd met populated the upper rafter seats of the stadium, Celestia and Luna were even there! Sunset smiled and felt the tears come to her eyes, she let the fall, she let her joy take her as she prepared to speak from the heart with the one she loved to give praise and thanks for all that had brought her and others to this very stage.

"Friends, family; from here, near and far far away; thank you all for gathering here today. I hope I can speak for everyone here on this stage and even for some of you in the crowd that it's been a long, rough and rather exciting four years here at Canterlot University since our class of '13 arrived." Sunset said with a wry chuckle remembering their arrival and how hard it had been.

"The worst 13 they called us, they all said we were a generation doomed to fail or just barely scrape by, people said that we'd never make it...that our bonds would break, our spirits shattered, our wills broken and our resolve destroyed. And yet here all of us stand, each shinning as bright as a star reach to shoot off into the night" Twilight added remembering all the hardships she and the others had to go through to get here, how hard she had to work to achieve what she wanted while staying true to herself and what she believed.

"We came to this University to do one thing and that was succeed, we may have stumbled along the way, maybe even almost quit, but together we managed to shine through the dark and now here at the end begin our light speed steps into a bright white future. We arrived together as children dreaming to reach the stars, we leave together having reached them." Sunset continued on all the memories of all the work she had to do to maintain her friendship and her relationship while at the same time focusing on her studies. All of that pressure and weight was now going to be lifted off her shoulders, but there were just three things left too do. One was get her diploma, the second was ask Twilight to marry her and the third? Well dropping that weight would take a little while but she was happy to wait even if the process of dropping it was sure to be a living Hell for her and Twilight.

"And so now it is from us to all of you, our professors who have taught us and passed their knowledge to us and to all our friends and family who have supported us through these times; thank you all and..." Twilight turned to Sunset and smiled at her. "To the one I love who helped me always see the light even when everything seemed dark again; thank you Sunset." Twilight planted a quick kiss on the girls lips and the entire crowd erupted into cheering and clapping. When Twilight pulled away she nipped at Sunset's lip and smiled a goofy dorky smile at Sunset's reaction. 'I can't wait to see her face when I ask!' Twilight thought trying to keep her giddiness hidden as best she could.

Blushing madly Sunset's cheeks matched her hair and she smiled a lopsided smirk and chuckled. "Well that wasn't part of the speech Twilight but thank you. You've helped me a lot these four years too, you've helped a lot of people and we all know you'll continue to do so Mrs. Professor Twilight." Sunset said with a grin wondering if Twilight Ditzy would come into play here, Twilight often was oblivious to her clever wordplay and it was so adorable.

"Eheheh thank you Sunset, it was my honor."

Smiling a catlike grin Sunset said "In fact Professor Twilight, I have a pop quiz for you"

In the crowd a round of 'Oooooooh's' could be heard and Twilight blushed and pushed up her glasses and nodded as Sunset pulled her from the podium, their voices still amplified by the magic spell she'd cast before the speech.

Twilight tilted her head in slight confusion but went along with Sunset's motion. "Oh um okay, sure"

Sunset took a deep breath and did as she rehearsed with Adagio before she'd gone to Equestria to get the ring. Using her magic she'd summon the ring to her hand and even in her hand it still glowed a shinning aurora of light. Bending down on one knee and never taking her eyes off of Twilight the entire room had fallen dead silent. Sunset felt a hurricane of emotions passing through her most of them positive but there was still a hint of nervousness within her. There were many things that Sunset had been called in life both good and bad, Twilight often called her good things like her many endearing nicknames; but there was one name...one that was a testiment to them both, one that bonded them together.

"Pop Quiz Professor Twilight-" Her voice trembling in anticipation Sunset said. "What lights the darkness?"

Her eyes widened behind her glasses and she felt her heart and soul jump and just like with any pop quiz Twilight knew the answer as soon as the question was asked. "S-Sunlight" Twilight uttered, her tears forming as she managed a broken teary smile as she realized what Sunset just did. 'You're always one step ahead Sunny.'

"That's right....you are and always will be my Sunlight...and so here's my next question." Sunset took a deep breath and summoned all her courage and will power and uttered the sacred question. "Twilight Starburst Sparkle..will you marry me?" Sunset asked feeling all her emotions erupt at once as she awaited Twilight's answer.

Twilight smiled and let her tears fall for a moment and she then removed her glasses to wipe her eyes and chuckled and looked down at Sunset. Kneeling down in a similar fashion she'd pull out the box the ring she'd had for Sunset making sure she could see it. Seeing Sunset's shocked reaction and new wave of tears was all the answer she needed especially considering she asked first. She put a hand over the girls eyes and said. "What do you see Sunset?"

"Darkness." Sunset said her voice breaking as her tears continued to fall past Twilight hand.

"Do you want to see the light?" Twilight asked sweetly

"Y-Yes" Sunset nodded interweaving her hand with Twilight's

Smiling Twilight took the ring she'd gotten from her aunt from her gown pocket and removed it from the box. She'd slip the ring on Sunset's ring finger and took the ring she'd gotten from her and slip it on her own finger, after removing her hand she'd smile still at Sunset.

"What do you see now Sunny?"

"I see my sunlight"

"Then yes...I will marry you." Twilight finally replied allowed Sunset to finally breathe and then the entire crowd erupted into cheers and cries of approval as the two embraced in a loving kiss. Their embrace lasted a good two minutes and when they broke away they were both love tackled and bear hugged by Cadence followed by their friends.

"OUR GIRLS ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!" They all shouted with glee.

"Yeah; we are...heheh you planned this too huh?"

"Like I've always told you Sunny; great minds think alike and you and I are cut from the same cloth, but as usual you beat me too it" Twilight pouted only slightly but she wasn't at all upset, far from it. She was quite possibly even happier than Pinkie Pie and that was no easy feat to achieve.

"I am so happy for you girls as I am sure everyone else is in the crowd, but how about we get the ceremony moving? I'm sure you have many congratulations coming your way." Cadence said with a smile wiping away her own tears as she witnessed Twilight propose to her lover using romantic advice and tactics she'd personally given her.

"Right, c'mon Twi, lets get ready for the rest of our lives." Sunset said with a smile as she took her new fiance's hand and guided them back to their seats.

"As long as I'm with you I'm ready for anything." Twilight said with a gentle smile as she felt the warm embrace of Sunset's hand against her own.

For the next hour all the graduates had been called up and everyone had received their different degrees and honors. Twilight and Sunset had racked up quite a few with Twilight having earned her doctorate and masters in just four years, no easy feat but then again Twilight Sparkle was no normal girl. Sunset Shimmer earned a doctorate and masters as well as well as having received high honors along with Twilight among the ranks of those like Starlight, Moon Dancer and other such genius'. The rest of their friends had earned their various degrees too and while none of them were anything super extravagant like Twilight or Sunset's, they'd earned them nonetheless and were just as proud of their accomplishments as Twilight and Sunset. Applejack being the first member of the Apple family to ever go to and graduate from college and many of the other girls had reputations to live up to or outshine like Pinkie who was trying to make a place for herself as supreme party girl and a good college student like her big sister who attended a few years prior to her.

After everyone had gotten their degrees and shook hands with the staff the rainbooms and the dazzlings were called up to do the exiting song which would then transition into the after party. Sunset and Twilight stood side by side with their friends behind them and to the side and each of them now dawned their individual instruments, Starlight Glimmer even joined them on a electric keyboard piano while Vinyl Scratch got on her DJ turntables.

"We thank all of you for coming here today, none of us could've or would've made it without all of you. Today we reached the stars and we'll continue to reach ever higher...in fact? Ladies?" Sunset signaled her friends and got ready to rock out.

"1 2 3; OKIE DOKIE LOKIE!" Pinkie shouted and twirled her drumsticks skillfully and slammed them together, her raw joy activating her magic and her magic touch making the sticks glow a pink aura that burst and flashed an explosion of light every time she clicked them and then she began rapidly beating on her drums and to follow this Rarity danced her fingers wildly across the keys of her keytar.

After a few seconds Starlight added her own piano skills to the melody and it was joined by Fluttershy's tapping of her tambourine and the strumming of Applejack's bass as well as Rainbow and Sunset's electric guitars.

Take off, at the speed of sound!
Bright lights, colors all around!
I'm running wild, living fast, and free!
Got no regrets inside of me!

As the song continued and the girls skillfully played their instruments and sung their hearts our from the deepest reaches of their souls, their magic activated again and Vinyl was giving them an extra light show with her DJ set up. The Dazzlings continued to harmonize their voices and the entire crowd went from blissful and calm to wild and cheering in adoration of the stars on stage and of all of them two shined the brightest.

Not looking back
Not giving up
Not letting go
I'll keep on running!

[Rainbooms]
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today!!
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll.keep.on.running!
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars tonight.... Tonight...

An aurora of rainbow color burst throughout the entire stadium and everyone erupted into roaring cheers of adoration and love for everyone of the shining stars that were to soon shoot off into the world to light the world with their talent. Sunset and Twilight stayed next each other singing while Sunset ripped the most godly cords on her guitar at speeds that would and did impress Rainbow Dash.

[Rainbooms & Dazzlings]
Wake up, living day by day.
Do what I want, and I'll do it my way
The world is flying right below my feet
Got no regrets inside of me.

Not looking back (Not looking back)
Not giving up (Not giving up)
Not letting go
I'll keep on running!

I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll keep on running!

The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight...
Tonight....

As the euphoria and joy from the crowd and from within the girls reached an all time high the dazzlings enchantment only made it all the stronger and they experienced a rainbow power like transformation like the time they'd defeated the dazzlings and saved the city however the power was amped up vastly due to Twilight's newly awakened magic and the dazzlings adding their own power to the mix. The magic of friendship and the magic of music combined were a powerful force and it was felt by every single person in the crowd young and old.

I've got it in my sight.
The colors feels so right.
Got my feet off the ground I'll keep on running!

Oh, I can feel it now.
The colors all around
Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars...
Just take a chance (Just take a chance)

We'll do it right again
(I'm gonna reach for the stars)
Just take my hand (Just take my hand)
We'll take a chance tonight...
Reach for the stars...
Tonight!"

Tonight...

As the song came to its completion everyone erupted into cheers of congratulations again and the girls all embraced one another on stage taking a bow to the crowd. Once dean Cadence made her final words known and everyone tossed their caps, they'd gone to meet with their families and friends. Sunset was so incredibly happy to see Celestia and the others and was curious as to how no one had noticed the doubles but Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Cadence had worked their magic to set up a magic spell barrier around them all generated by pendants in their regalia that allowed them to basically cloak themselves and the other ponies that had come with them in human disguise that was different from that of their doppelganger as to not rouse any trouble.

When Sunset and Twilight came to meet up with Twilight's parents the Sparkle parents were more than overjoyed to see their baby girl was finally getting married and had graduated college and it was hard to tell which they were more excited about but they were excited to pinkie levels without a shadow of a doubt. Next was the drop the fact that Sunset was pregnant and possibly expecting twins.

"Took you long enough Sunset, was beginning to think you were getting cold feet." Shining Armor teased nudging the young woman.

"Had to make sure everything was perfect for the greatest light in my life." Sunset said with a shrug.

"I am sooooo happy for you two! Sooo when can we expect grand-kids?" Twilight Velvet asked with a cheeky smirk

Looking at Twilight Sparkle she drank up her flustered expression and put on a smug grin and rubbed her stomach. "Y'know Mrs.Velvet it's funny you bring that up..."

"Um Twilight...sweetie did you-?"

"Magically knock up my girlfriend a day before proposing? Yes...Yes I did, but I know we can handle it and I've wanted to be a mother for so long and I-"

"ah bup bup none of that sweetie you needn't apologize, for goodness sake I was pregnant with you while I was in college; at least you waited" Twilight Velvet chuckled seeing her daughters flustered face. "No dear, I was going to ask have you picked out a name yet?"

"O-Oh um...not officially...a few names have been tossed around when we were just kidding around but nothing has been given consideration...but after today? I think I might have a good one in mind." Twilight Sparkle said with a smile and stood next to Sunset and locked her fingers with hers. "Though I think with how um...'active' I was with you? We'll need a bigger apartment if we're gonna be a family of four." Twilight chuckled seeing her mothers flustered face with was near identical to her own

"Ooohohohoh my little lady bug has become a vixen! I love it!" Cadence teased with a laugh.

"My word Sunset dear daughter; I didn't think you'd take my suggestion to have grand-foals so early." Celestia from Equestria stated placing a hand on Sunset's shoulder with a smile. "I hope your experience was blissful"

"Oh more than you could imagine mom...I'm so glad you could make it; but who's watching Equestria if you're here? Please don't tell me it's Blueblood or Discord"

"Oh Faust no not in a million years...no, no Luna and I utilized the mirror pool after 'modifying' it."

"It was Discords creation...it took some convincing for him to undo what he'd done to make the clones that came out of the pool come out all wrong." Luna added.

"Well I'm very thankful your both here; really this means a lot to me. I hope for however long your here that you enjoy this world; I've learned so much here and experienced so much! And I just know my..." She chuckled and shook her head and pulled Twilight close to her. "OUR futures...are going shine brighter than the sun."

"I have no doubt you will all go great places dear Sunset; and we've about I'd say a weeks worth of time to spend here, the spell we cast that keeps us hidden is a long lasting one and with the four of us powering it it's no issue at all." Celestia stated.

"Thanks Celestia; and you too Twi and the rest of the girls. You're all welcome to our after after party if you wanna join."

"Wouldn't miss it!" Twilight replied with a smile as did the rest of her friends.

"Looks like the futures looking brighter every second huh Sunny?" Twilight asked with a smile as she kept her hand in Sunset's, never wanting to let go.

"Our sunlight will light the way and the aurora of our friendship will always guide us, and I can't wait to see where the road takes us next." Sunset said smiling looking up to the sky where the sun was still shinning brightly in the sky.
