//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Moonlights Daughter // by Fizzyberries302 //------------------------------// Never in a thousand years had there been so much joy. Celestia rose the sun once again, for all the ponies to enjoy. The ponies celebrated the return of their lost Luna princess, and Luna apologised to them for her actions and promised that she'll never let that demon into her mind again, for the sake of her daughter. "If you do that again, I'm going with you." Songbird joked. Luna chuckled and embraced her daughter. "Let's just forget about the past and enjoy this party." she said. Luna felt terrible for her past actions decided to express her love for her daughter in song, so she whispered in Vinyl Scratch's ear to play a slow song. The DJ complied and called everyponys attention to Luna. The princess stood up on the platform and spoke out to the crowd. She saw her daughter in the back row, along side her sister and daughters friends. "Everypony, thousand years from today, I became corrupted by dark forces that turned me into Nightmare Moon. My older sister, Princess Celestia was forced to banish me to the moon. It was then that I realised that my actions were foolish and I was separated from my daughter, Princess Songbird." The ponies listened with wide eyes. "But you know something, she never gave up hope that we would be reunited and still loved me to the very end. I also never gave up hope that I would be free of the cursed Nightmare. I love you Songbird, all the way to the moon and back." The crowd awed at how much love was pouring out from the moon princess. She then started singing out the feelings she had been holding back for so long Song: (A Thousand Years) Heart, beats, fast, Colours and promises, How to be brave, How can I love when I'm afraid, to fall, Watching you stand, alone, All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow, One, step, closer.... I have died everyday waiting for you, Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a Thousand Years, I'd love you for a Thousand more, Time stands still, Beauty, in all we do, I will be brave, I will not let anything take away, What's standing in front of me, Every breath, every hour has come to this, One step closer... I have died everyday waiting for you, Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a Thousand Years, I'd love you for a Thousand more, All this time, you believed, You would find me, Time as brought me back to you, I have loved you for a Thousand Years, I'd love you for a Thousand more, One step closer.... I have died everyday waiting for you, Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a Thousand Years, I'd love you for a Thousand more, All this time, you believed, You would find me, Time as brought me back to you, I have loved you for a Thousand Years, I'd love you for a Thousand more, A Thousand Years.... Luna felt the tears fall down her cheeks, before being embraced by her daughter. The ponies awed and stomped their hooves in applause. "My brave and beautiful little girl." she sobbed. "I love you so much Mommy." whispered Songbird. "I love you to, my star princess." When the day ended, mother and daughter flew off into the night sky, back to their home in Canterlot. Never again will they be separated from each other, for the bond between a mother and a daughter, never dies...
