I opened my eyes to discover two things. One, I was in a really comfortable bed. Two, I had Luna and Fluttershy staring at me. Fluttershy smiled and held my hoof. "Hello sleepyhead." I glanced at Luna and she smiled. "Hello Speedy."

And then I connected the dots. Both of them were here. Both of them!

I tried to sit up, but Fluttershy held me down. "It's okay. Everything's fine." I stopped struggling and looked between the two mares. "But...you two....together....here..." Luna glance at Fluttershy. "She hasn't left your side once for the past week." I tired to sit up again. "A week?!" Fluttershy nodded as she held me down. "Yes. We've all been so worried. And Luna told me everything." My eyes widened. Oh no.

Luna stepped back. "The sun is beginning to set. I have duties to perform. Speedy, you saved both of us. You do understand that, don't you? You're free of Discord, and I'm free of an illusion." I stared at her. "You mean..." She nodded. "I understand now. Us being together wasn't going to happen. And it may not have even been real. I do love you Speedy. But only as a friend. And that's all it will ever be." She left the room and I turned my head to Fluttershy.

I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I just began to cry. Shy pulled me up into a hug. "It's okay." I shook my head. "No. No it's not. I'm so sorry. I...." I couldn't say anymore. All I could do was hug her tighter. And she returned it. She let me cry for a while. Finally I ran out of tears and pulled away from her. I put a hoof under her chin. "I love you. And I was an idiot for ever leaving." She smiled. "I know." We both started to laugh. And then she kissed me. And I kissed her. We stayed like that for who knows how long. But it was the greatest moment of my life.
