79.5, The Truth (3) And A Deal.

Lonely Day felt like she wanted to just combust with anger, but before she could do anything stupid a certain someone took notice of her rage and tugged on her dress, Bliss Flower.

Bliss looked Day dead in her eyes, and told her one thing. "Day, don't do it…"

Day wanted to go with Blisses request. She really wanted to, honest to god. But she couldn't, she just couldn't! This… This was all their fault! In the end, she followed her gut instead of her head. Not the wisest decision.

She shrugged Bliss off of her. "You had no right, you couldn't just make a decision like that for us! You could've at least….! I-I!"

Selene looked at Day with a hopeless expression. He wanted to help. And yet, they made things worse. "We did all we could…"

"Did all you could? Why didn't you at least-!"

Before Day could do anything worse Bliss jumped on her in a hug. "Day!"

Blisses decision was just about as stupid as Days. But she felt like it was the right thing to do. She didn't want Day to end up like her when she reacted like that against her father. "Stop it…"

Day felt a storm of a emotions, to losing her body, her family, her age… And now, this… Suddenly, being pulled into a embrace by someone like this… It was all too much for her to take in…

And yet, she didn't fight back… A part of her did, yes. A part of her told her "she knows nothing of what you went through, she knows nothing of what it's like to suffer" but Lonely Day didn't give into those desires of hers. "But they…"

Bliss didn't let go, instead she kept Day close to her. "Just stop it… You've already done enough… You did good…"

You did good…? Day felt weird… What was this feeling…? This was a feeling she only felt towards ponies she was close with like Sky or Rune.

So why, why was she feeling this way towards Bliss…? Why…? No, she should've realized it sooner. She knew why. It was because they were friends.

And that's what friends do, they care for each other. No matter what happens.

It's funny… Was that all she needed…? Just a simple "you did good…?" Maybe it was… Maybe it wasn't… Who's to say? She barely knew how she even felt anymore.

And both of them hadn't even realized they already had tears rolling down their faces.

Maybe they could just stay like this a little bit longer… No rush. Besides it's not like the others would see this. And there wasn't- Okay, maybe there was someone else with them. Two someone's actually.

After what felt like an eternity to them but what was probably only a couple minutes, the two got up.

The first thing Day made sure to do was apologize to Princess Luna. "I- I'm sorry…"

"There's no need to apologize, we understand what you're going through." She replied.

Yeah, that's right… The Equestrians suffered their fair amount too. They both already saw that with ponies like Kaiser, or Selene, and now with Luna…

Selene simply silently nodded to add reassurance to Luna's statement.

"Can you make us human again…?"

"Yes, most likely."

What Luna said next shot down any hopes the two had of getting their human bodies back. "But you would suffer the same fate every human that was exposed to magic has had."

Was there really anything they couldn't do…? Was this really the only way they could live on…? "Is there really nothing else you can do…?"

"I'm afraid not. I'm truly, truly sorry."

So this was it huh…? They'd just have to be ponies for the rest of their lives… Well, at least they're alive. And that's all that mattered, they were alive.

Pony life was better than no life.

"There's just one more thing left to do."

What…? What could they have left to do… Wasn't this meeting over? They told them the truth, they could go home now, right?

"There needs to be someone to watch over your species for the next generations to come."

Selene raises a hoof and points it at Lonely Day. "And that someone, is you."

Wait, wait, wait. Watch over them for the generations to come…? What did they mean by that-? Then, it clicked.

I see… First they and now- No. If this what she had to do to make sure that her people would be remembered then so be it.

"We won't force you if you aren't-" Selene and Luna already both knew what the horrors of such a thing were they wouldn't want to doom Lonely Day to that, but to Selene's surprise she accepted.

"No, I'm ready."

"Good." Luna and Selene both gestured towards the door as they both headed for it themselves. "Come, my little pony."

Whether if Day knew it or not, Bliss understood what they meant too.

With that, the four headed out. Only briefly making Sunset and Kaiser question why they were going out.

"You think we should follow after them…?"

"No, what the princesses do is none of our concern."

Besides, if he- They were right they should be doing what they thought they were gonna do right now.

It was long before the four reached the throne room. Inside, was of course Celestia waiting for them. Seems like she knew what was going on, either that or she was listening to them.

But before anyone could do anything, Bliss spoke up. "Wait, I want in too."

What…? What was she doing…? She was doing this for all of them, why was she…? They're friends, no best friends! Lonely Day didn't want Bliss to just give up her life like this! "But-"

Bliss just turned to her with a smile. "I'm not gonna let you go through something like that alone, after all we're partners in destiny, right?"

I see… Bliss, ever so Blissful… Never change, never change… "Yeah…"

Lonely Day sounded a lot stronger than before… Of course she did... She had been through so much up to this point...

Now, was the time.

Celestia simply accepted Blisses deal and nodded with a soft smile. "I see…"

"Now, are you ready?"

The two nodded.

Next, Celestia's, Selenes, and Lunas horns all lit up in unison and a sudden downpour of raw magical power came down on Bliss and Day.

It was intense… Not in a bad way, it felt like they both had a sudden burst of energy and power. It continued until…

It ceased. The light vanished leaving Bliss and Day unscathed and not different well, visibly at least.

That, was the day they both sealed their fates.

Their end, and their beginning.
