//------------------------------// // Epilogue : The Royal Family // Story: Cindershy : Cinderella AU // by Crystal Aura //------------------------------// Seven years later... "Hahaha, Eclipse, for the last time, it is not a unicorn!" A boy with blue hair & green eyes is heard saying in Palace Corridors. "Then tell meee! Pwetty pwease, Mystic? With cream on top?" The little girl named Eclipse Glory, who had blonde hair with light blue eyes, said while being pulled by her older brother, Mystic Sword. "We're almost there! And, you have to promise to keep it a secret." Mystic Sword said, still walking slowly. "I promise! I promise! As long as I can tell it to Mama & Papa later." Eclipse said, lowering her voice. "Well, I guess that's okay. Mama & Papa always find out anyway." Mystic said, coming to a corner. "So, so, so, is it a blue genie? OH, IS IT A FAIRY???" Eclipse said, forgetting that she should be quiet, again. "Eclipse, ssshhh!" Mystic says, putting his hand on his sister's mouth, but somebody already discovered that they were there. "Ah, where are you two naughty siblings going to?" A voice says, carrying Mystic & Eclipse. "Aw, Eclipse, I told you to shush. Now Papa has found us!" Mystic says, disappointedly. "Oh yes, I have. And may I ask where were you two going to?" The voice, now identified as King Discord, said. "Uhh, we were just going to meet your fairy godparents... hehe..." Mystic said. "Well then, me & your Mama are going to meet them later this week. You both can join us then. But for now, no funny business. It's your bedtime! You'd better be sleeping, or I'll tell your Mama!" Discord warned. "Okay, Okay, fine Papa. We will go to sleep. But can you or Mama tell us one bedtime story, pwetty pwease?" Eclipse pleaded with her dad with those innocent eyes of hers. "Oh, alright. But only one, Okay?" Discord says as he takes them to their bedroom. King Discord & Queen Cindershy had two kids, Mystic Sword, who was ten years old & Eclipse Glory, who was five years old. Meanwhile, Duke Cheese & Duchess Pinkie (Discord had given that title to them as it was part of saying thank you to them) also had two kids, twins, one was Caramel Crunch & the other Crimson Velvet. They were both five years old but younger to Eclipse in a few months. Discord used to spend time with Mystic as he wanted to play pirate games which Eclipse had no interest in. But he also spent time with Eclipse. Cindershy spent time with Eclipse telling her fairy tales but also spent time with Mystic. "I'm Gold D. Roger this time. You get to be Whitebeard, Papa!" Mystic said, introducing the characters to his dad. "Alright lil tiger, so how does it start?" Discord said, joining the fun. "From up high, Roger lets out a battlecry & jumps to Whitebeard! RAAAAH!" Mystic said, taking his doll & moving it towards the doll in his dad's hand. "Whitebeard laughs & swings his mighty spear!" Discord said, hitting the doll in his son's hand with a spear attached to the doll. "CLANG! WHOOSH! TAKE THAT!" Mystic said, having fun in this game. "YAAAR! As expected of my rival!" Discord said, playing along. "Oh Mama, I am so happy that Tiana got her wish & her Prince!" Eclipse said, as she listened to her mama telling her a story. "But only because she worked hard & listened to her heart, my little fairy." Cindershy said, lovingly. "Mama, do you think I can find my true love, too?" Eclipse asks eagerly. "As long as your heart is in the right place, I have no doubt." Cindershy said, caressing her daughter's hair. "Maybe he is the nicest & happiest Prince!" Eclipse said, jumping towards her mama. "Well, he may not always be a Prince. Let me tell you the story of Eugene & Rapunzel." Cindershy said, starting another fairy tale. "Which one should we pick next, my flower fairy?" Discord asks, as he carries Eclipse around the Royal Garden, picking flowers. "This one! This one! It would match Mama's pretty dress, today!" Eclipse said, pointing to some beautiful tulips. "That is true! You definitely got your Mama's eye for beauty!" Discord said, taking her closer to the tulip. "Hehehe, now it's your turn, Papa!" Eclipse said, happily. "Well, the myrtles look lovely today, what do you think?" Discord asked his daughter. "Perfect!" She replied, enthusiastically. "You're doing great, Mystic. You have to knead until the dough is smooth & elastic." Cindershy said, instructing her son. "How does this one look, Mama?" Mystic asks his mama after he knead the dough as much as possible. "Hmmm, not bad, but this side needs to be more uniformed." Cindershy replied, pointing at a side of the dough. "Okay, it's done! What do we do next?" Mystic asks eagerly. "For now, let's put the dough aside. It's time to flatten some butter." Cindershy said keeping the dough aside. "Ohhh, do we get to use the rolling pin?" Mystic asks eagerly. "Haha, we will, my little kitten." Cindershy said, giggling. "Awesome!" Mystic replied. Duke Cheese & Duchess Pinkie's family always pass their time playing instruments & singing songs. "Look how the light of the town, the lights of the town are shining now. Tonight I'll be dancing around, I'm off on the road to Galway now." Caramel Crunch sung while his father & sister were playing a banjo & a trumpet. "Look how she's off on the town, she's off on a search for sailors though. There's fine fellas here to be found, she's never been the one to stay at home." Pinkie sung along. "Home you'll go & there you'll stay, & you've got work to do in the morning. Give up your dream of going away, forget your sailors in Galway." Caramel continued. "Téir abhaile rúi, téir abhaile rúi. Téir abhaile rúi Mhearai. Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile, mar tá do mhargadh déanta" Pinkie sung as she ended the song. Overall they had a happily ever after, with their kids together, as they explored the Parenting age. They raised their kids with good virtues & morals which resulted in them being known as the kind & just Royals like their parents. As for Lady Rarity's family, they were still living in that house. Once in a while, Cindershy used to meet them, but that was very rare. Before getting married, she had met her step - mother, who was looking still beautiful, but her face aghast. She also met her step - sisters who suddenly started calling her ' dear sister '. But nothing could convince Cindershy to take them in as though she would want to, she wanted to leave her past behind & focus on her life with the Prince which was a bliss. Before leaving that house, she looked back to her step - mother & said "I forgive you." & went her way. As kind as she was, she couldn't leave them like that. So, she asked her Fairy Godmother to help them in any way she could, to which the Fairy was hesistant at first but then finally agreed. This was the story of a kind girl & her Prince which has now come to a complete end.
