Unleash the Magic - Epilogue will post on Thursday... · 9:24pm Feb 23rd, 2016
Been a wild ride, but it has to end... for now. In suitably appropriate manner, of course... 
In celebration of the 300th like, making it easily my most popular story to date, the epilogue goes live on Thursday morning.
With this 3600-word epilogue, I'll be marking the story complete, but be assured that's not the end. There will be bonus material to come, an alternate ending and bonus chapters detailing scenes happening around Midnight and Sunset, and I'll be using the epilogue to rather blatantly set up a sequel. These won't happen right away, however. Have to get back to my more 'serious' clop for a bit...
A preview? Well, twist my arm...
Principal Cinch, predictably, thought first of her school’s reputation… and her own. “Principal Celestia! On behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly, CHS has had an unfair advantage for quite some time! And it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit!”
Principal Celestia looked at me and for the first time ever, she favored me with a smile, going over to stand behind me and put her hands on my shoulders. “I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all. And our own Sunset here certainly did that and more...” she trailed off with an odd note in her voice.
Before I could wonder what she meant by and more, Sugarcoat spoke up. “At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game,” she said as she dusted herself off and replaced her glasses, suddenly looking down at herself and patting her midsection as if to feel for something she kept thinking had been there.
“Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once!” Pinkie Pie scratched her head like she, too, was trying to remember something elusive… or was I just imagining it all?
“Oh, she can take a lot,” Indigo Zap smirked, then her brow furrowed like she wasn’t immediately certain where the thought came from, Sugarcoat suddenly blushing.
“Saved the world? That's ridiculous!” Cinch retorted, wondering why her watch suddenly seemed to be a half-hour slow.
“Nope, that's pretty much what happened,” Spike spoke up from Twilight’s arms, and nobody gave him a second look after all they’d already seen. It was only then I realized—he hadn’t lost his magic if he was still talking!
Uh-oh. My magical reversal and memory alteration spells had missed him because he’d been encased in Midnight’s protective bubble, and that also meant…
He looked at me and gave me a wink.
Spike the dog remembers everything?
Awesome!
3773371 ... I believe the expression goes, "That sly dog."
Looking forward to that

I'm surprised the poor dog isn't traumatized.
Hype people, get some
