"-Yes! Everything is going to be just fine!"

Twilight landed back on the balcony with her friends.

"Thanks girls, for everything." twilight said grabbing her friends for another group hug.

"Aw shoot Twi, ya know it's all good. Besides, it was you that saved us!"

"It wasn't me; it was our friendship that saved us once again." the hug tightened one last time before being released.

"Well we should probably be getting back to Ponyville now, I can't wait to start teaching Twi some sweet tricks!" Rainbow Dash flew over and began examining Twilight's wings. "These babies are larger than I've ever seen on a mare your size!"

Rarity shot Rainbow a glance. "What does that mean dear?"

"Well that means one of two things, either Twi's a freak, ~or~ she's not fully grown yet!"

Everyone stated at Rainbow for a moment until Fluttershy explained. "Pegasus wings go through a growth spurt when we're young, so now since you're an alicorn, it is possible" she was cut off, "you're going to grow all big and tall like Celestia!" Pinkie finished.

"Big AND tall? Are you saying something about my weight?" asked Celestia as she walked up behind the mares.

"Oh no princess! I'm sure she didn't-"

"Oh calm down my most faithful... Princess." Celestia said catching herself with a chuckle.

"Is there something you need?" twilight asked in an attempt to draw the conversation away from her new title.

"Yes princess, there are some things we need to go over before-" she was cut off by Pinkie "-before we have the REAL princess party with pin-the-tail-on-the-pony and cake and-" an orange hoof was shoved in the party pony's mouth.

"Sorry princess, she's just a little excited about all this. Can't say I blame her though, it's not every day your friend and neighbor becomes a princess. ...uh... She is still our neighbor right?"

All pleading eyes shot to the elder princess. "Yes, if that is what the princess wants, then even I have no right to tell her otherwise."

All her friends cheered before noticing that Twilight was looking to her mentor with a concerned expression. "But what about royal duties, I can't just abandon-"

"My dearest Twilight, while I have no doubt that you could fulfill all the duties of a princess right now, there is no need. I ran the kingdom alone for a thousand years, and now with Luna's help there really wouldn't be anything for you to do. So for now just go back to Ponyville and continue to learn the magic of friendship."

The first purely sincere and joyous smile since gaining her wings graced Twilight's face. "Oh thank you princess!" She embraced her mentor.

"Now don't go thinking that everything is going back to the way it was though. You may not have royal responsibilities here in Canterlot, but you are still a princess. Before you head back I'll be introducing you to your royal guard and entourage." Celestia gave a smile so wide that it nearly made Twilight think she was actually enjoying make her former student uncomfortable.
