Sorry, didn't mean to wake you up." "That's okay, I was just taking a little nap. Well, I finally did it. I told everyone each and every story." "You certainly did. You did as good a job as I did." "Maybe better…?" "Don't push it." "Worth a shot. So, what do you want me to do next?" "Actually…nothing." "I'm sorry, what?" "Nothing. I don't need you to do anything." "Well, what more is there to tell?" "We've already told the story, now it's up to the gang to decide what happens next." "So…this is it? Oh what, are we not good enough for you anymore? Is that it?" "Of course not. You guys mean so much to me. But, you know nothing lasts forever." "Yeah, yeah, I know. Korra and Mako have their kid. Asami and Bolin already have theirs. Twilight and Flash are married and a kid shouldn't be too far behind, heck even Zhu Li's expecting. Rarity and Applejack have their businesses, Pinkie Pie's now with that Cheese Sandwhich fellow, Sunset Shimmer's working at Future Industries, Fluttershy's with the airbenders, Rainbow's a cops, the Crusaders are growing up, Spike too, and the airbender kids…I never realized how fast things have changed." "You upset?" "A little but…I'll be okay. We'll all be okay. After all, when one story ends…" "Another begins. Thanks, Discord. Oh, there is one last thing I need you to add here." A piece of paper gets zapped into Discord's hand, much to his surprise. He reads the words out loud and smiles. Well, I know exactly where this beauty will go." he said as he zapped the paper into one of the books. "See you around, Maggie." "See you around, Discord." The spirits of chaos salutes and opens the door to step into the land of Equestria, where he sees his friends and family happily laughing together in perfect harmony. He smiled when little Iris came running up towards him and he gladly picked her up. "Hey, little princess! You're growing bigger and bigger by the day--Ow!" he felt the little one powerfully tug on his beard. "And strong. Just like your parents." "And don't you forget it." said the Princess Avatar as she came by to take her child, who giggled with delight as her mother kissed her forehead, right on the star mark, and her father tickled her chin. "What kept you." the prince asked the spirit. "Oh, just some last minute book organizing, is all." "Well, come on. Granny Smith brought the Zap Apple Jam." "Oh, my favorite!" Discord said with glee as he flew towards the picnic table to chow down with his family. A family that would only grow bigger and bigger as time went on. It truly was a grand journey. One that began with the chance encounter of a simple man, two lost ponies and a prideful spirit who learned of humility. A friendship that transcend all the way to the forms of a young boy with an arrow and his group of friends, to a young Avatar, who became a princess, and Six Ponies who brought a little bit of magic into a lost world. Now, a new beginning was taking form before their very eyes. Wan's story had come to an end long ago, Aang's story had ended also, and Korra's was finishing, but for one final chapter, there is always another waiting to begin. Stories change, but the very core of what started them, shall remain the same. Forever and always… Twilight Sparkle: Nothing stays the same for long But when it changes doesn't mean it's gone Korra: Time will always get away As it leaves behind another day Fluttershy: Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Jinora: Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Rarity: Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Mako: Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Celestia and Luna: Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Leilani: Few things last, that's all I know Alicorns: But friendship carries on through the ages Rainbow Dash: Been around for a long time Rocking out hard 'cause I'm in my prime Bolin: Maybe it'll change further down the line But my friendship carries on through the ages Asami: Every single style has something Different it can say Applejack: There's nothing wrong with being unique And special in your own way Pinkie Pie: Maybe you wanna be a pop star Get your fifteen minutes of fame, wha, ah! Ah, oh! Varrick: That won't last forever But friendship remains the same, ah-oh, oh! Team Avatar Harmony: Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Things may come and things may go Some go fast and some go slow Few things last, that's all I know But friendship carries on through the ages Ohhh-oh, carries on …….*(~)*……. Psalm 119:105-112~ "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, And teach me Your judgments. My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, For they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, to the very end." *(~)*
