The Little Pony Legend: Legend of Everfree

by MaggiesHeartLove

Restoration

After the destruction caused by Gae Everfree, every camper and counselor offered a helping hand. Broken bits of brambles remained on the ground, and several aspects of the camp were in pretty bad shape. Thankfully, the CHS alum used their new abilities to accelerate the process. Kuvira even managed to finally get the hang of her new plant powers.
With a smile of pure blissful joy, she effortlessly waved her wrists around, commanding the remaining brambles to return to their resting place, or to help adjust things such as the totem pole, and several of the camp gifts. She still didn't entirely understand what these powers meant, or why she had them to begin with, bur whatever the reason, she was finally happy to do something that helped rebuild something instead of destroy it.
Twilight also helped using her levitation magic, while Flash sliced away remaining brambles from the cabins and tents. The two of them were so happy to be back in each other's arms. This was the second time they thought they had lost the other. The first time was when Flash risked his life to save Spike during the Friendship Games, and just now when Twilight nearly bled to death.
Gloriosa rubbed her arm, looking shameful over her mistake as she approached Kuvira and the two lovers.
"I am so sorry." she said, trying her best not to shed tears right then and there. "At first, all I wanted was to make this the best week Camp Everfree has ever had. But not only have I made it the worst…I've hurt all of you and lost all hope of ever saving my family's camp." Gloriosa sighed as she looked at the destruction her madness had caused. "Guess now I know why my dad was always so protective of this place."
"What do you mean?" Flash asked.
"Even though I followed my father's camp traditions, I never did fully understand why he was so strict about who came into the camp. My grandparents used to tell me and my brother stories about magic that roamed around the camp. I always just thought they were fairytales, but when I found the cave, it finally made sense. It also explained why he never let me and Timber play near the rock quarry."
Kuvira's eyes shimmered in realization. "Your…your grandparents knew about the magic in the cave. They were trying to protect it."
"And I used it to hurt everyone." Gloriosa wiped away a tear that rolled out of her eye. Kuvira placed a comforting hand on her her friend's shoulder.
"All the more reason why we can't let Gladmane take this place away!" Kuvira said, as Sunset, Starlight and the two principals approached.
"What are we supposed to tell him? That he can't have the camp because there are magical geodes that give people magic? He'll want to make a fortune off of them. And I don't have the money to pay for Camp Everfree anymore."
"Then we'll find a way to make the money."
"And it's not simply because of the magic." Twilight said, placing her hands on her hips. "This place is just as important to us as it was to you and your family." she said as Flash wrapped his arm around her.
"Even without the geodes, this place has always been magical."
"He's right." Principal Celestia said as she and Luna approached them. "This camp has meant so much to so many people, my sister and me included."
"Why do you think we wanted our students to come here?" said Luna.
"Exactly!" Kuvira said, for the first time since she arrived, she looked as if she had returned to her old confident self. However, unlike the Great Uniter, she wasn't thinking about what benefited her, she was dead focused on what would benefit everyone around her.
"If camp meant so much to all of you, maybe it meant as much to the other campers who came here in years past."
"And maybe we can get them to help save it!" Sunset Shimmer said, clenching her fists in determination.
"Oh! Like a fundraiser?" Applejack suggested as she placed one of the poles down.
"Or a ball?!" Rarity squealed.
"Our old band could play!" Rainbow Dash said, playing air guitar as a result.
"I could help writing a new song just for the occasion!" Fluttershy said, "It'll be just like old times."
The rest of the students cheered in agreement. Gloriosa gave a soft smile, and as much as she wanted to be as enthusiastic as them, she knew realistically getting the money in time would not be a simple task.
"Those are all good ideas, but where would we hold it?"
"We could hold it in the crystal cave!" Sunset suggested.
"But, what about the geodes?"
"I don't think you have to worry about them anymore." Kuvira said as she earthbended the stones in her palm. "I can put all of them safely into one place, and I'm sure Rarity can make more than enough crystals to replace them."
Rarity gasped with delight, "A Crystal Ball! I'm on it!"
"I admire everyone's enthusiasm." Gloriosa said, "Really, I do. But I-I just don't know how we're going to plan a ball by tomorrow and invite everyone."
"Don't worry, Gloriosa." Kuvira said with a smile, as the other Rainbooms rallied behind her. "We got this!"

The group didn't waste any time in getting preparations ready for the event. Twilight and Flash did the invitations, well Twilight managed to place them all in order with her levitation magic. Sunset and Starlight organized the party inside the caves while Kuvira bended the stones into a specific location deeper into the cave, and formed a cocoon of vines around them for extra protection. Once she gave the two Equestrian unicorns the thumbs up, Sunset dialed a number and called someone. The caller ID image was that of a familiar symbol from a certain industrial company.

Twilight Sparkle:
I used to think that stories were just that
Set in stone, concrete as a fact
It didn't dawn on me
That I could change history

Kuvira:
Now I know I'm writing my own song
Fight my way to the ending that I want
I'll turn a tragedy
Into an epic fantasy

Kuvira smiled as she assisted the other students prepare for the ball. For the first time in so long, she was putting her leadership skills to good use. It felt as if she were beginning anew. Starting a new chapter. She started to realize, maybe this was the reason for her being here all along.

The Rainbooms:
Hey, hey, hey
You can be a hero (hero) too
Oh-oh-oh
Take my hand, I'm here for you
Come away with me
Be the legend you were meant to be
You'll always be ever free

Gloriosa stood at the edge of the new pear, sadly looking out to the horizon. The lake was still as beautiful as ever, probably even more so now than ever. While she was thankful that her old friends were helping her to save her camp, she was still filled with such guilt. Guilt over her lustful desire to save her camp, all at the expense of so many lives. She wondered how they would ever forgive her. Especially after what they recently discovered about her keeping the secret from them about what happened to Timber Spruce.
Her silent moment came to an end when she noticed both Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry approach her, both smiling in reassurance and wrapping one arm around her. They were very close to her brother when he was alive, so having them around was almost like having him here with her. She never realized how much she really needed to feel the warmth of another person's hug. These two held no hostility towards her, she didn't understand how, but given their past experiences, forgiving their old friend's big sister was a non issue.

Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be
Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be

Thanks to Fluttershy's new ability, her animal companions rolled out the carpet for the ball and the bird hung light ornaments around the stalagmites. Using her super speed and wings, Rainbow Dash send each of the invitations to the homes of every person who had ever been to Camp Everfee.
Applejack used her supper strength to remove the boulders from the opening of the caves, amazing several of the male campers, and Rarity used her diamond powers to radiate the cave, along with a shimmering chandelier. Flash used his sword to slice and dice the salads for the buffet table, and also used it to make sushi. He was a natural with the blade.

Fluttershy:
There was a time when fear would hold me down
'Cause I let it chain me to the ground

Rainbow Dash:
Look at me now, I'm soaring high
It's never boring in the sky

Applejack:
When I know I've got friends on my side
Whatever trials, I'll take them all in stride

Rarity:
Together we will shine so bright
A radiant brilliance in the night

Kuvira used her plant powers to make flowers grow all around, giving the cave a beautiful nature-like glow. However, a few flowers, which Kuvira didn't create, suddenly emerged form the side of the wall.
Once she turned around, Kuvira smiled to see it was Gloriosa. She still had her plant powers, but this time, she was using them the right way. Kuvira offered the camp director a hug, which surprised even Gloriosa, who accepted it with tears of joy. Kuvira still couldn't believe it. After many years of making other people miserable, she finally made someone genuinely happy.

The Rainbooms:
Hey, hey, hey
You can be a hero (hero) too
Oh-oh-oh
Take my hand, I'm here for you
Come away with me
Be the legend you were meant to be
You'll always be ever free

The night of the Crystal Ball had finally arrived, and much to Gloriosa's both shock and surprise, it was a full house! People from her father's cam days returned, along with much older generations, and even with their new generations accompanying them.
Rarity had, obviously, taken the liberty to design the mosts tuning nature inspired gowns for herself and all of her friends. She even made a gown for Gloriosa, a beautiful autumn inspired gown, with sunflowers around her bun.
And, just like the old days, the Rainbooms performed with all the dazzle, confidence and passion as they always did. It was as if they were still high school students. The wonderful memories of their past flashed before their eyes, inspiring them all the more, and Sunset Shimmer never knew she would feel so happy to be playing with them again.
Flash Sentry finally got his chance to perform alongside them, strumming his guitar and singing alongside Twilight. Kuvira danced alongside Starlight and Gloriosa, both wearing equally beautiful nature inspired gowns, with crystal flowers in their hair. Kuvira's outfit was inspired by the lotus flower, while Starlight's was inspired by the orchid. The Principals, campers, young and old, celebrated and danced to the beat of the song. Tender Taps danced alongside Apple Bloom, and Applejack couldn't help but smile. Her little sister was growing up.

Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be
Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be!

Pinkie Pie:
Your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning

Flash Sentry:
Let yourself be enchanted
You just might break through

The Rainbooms:
Oh-oh-oh
Take my hand, I'm here for you
Come away with me
Be the legend you were meant to be
You'll always be ever free

Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be
Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah
To be the legend you were meant to be!

For the grand finale, Pinkie Pie sprinkled sprinkles over her drums, and once she hit them with her sticks, they created confetti which fell upon the Rainbooms and the crowd, who cheered for the group. Once the song was over, Gloriosa walked up on stage and was handed the microphone by Twilight Sparkle.
"Thank you all so much for coming! And for helping us raise enough money to... save Camp Everfree!"
More cheers were heard, as Gladmane narrowed his eyes. He gave the woman a death glare and left the premises. Gloriosa watched him leave, and could finally breath a sigh of relief. However, she knew she couldn't have done any of this without her old friends. Friends who, she should have turned to when she needed them most.
"Thank you. For everything."
"Hey, don't sweat it, it's kinda what we do." Rainbow said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "And, it's the least we could do after we after like such jerks."
"What are you talking about?"
"When we found out about the camp closing, rather than talk to you about it, we kept it secret and were more focused on finding the magic." Rarity said, looking down in shame. "We didn't have our priorities straight."
"We're so sorry, Gloriosa." Applejack said with regret, "We should have been better friends."
Gloriosa gave them an apologetic glance. "You girls have nothing to apologize for. I kept secrets from you and tried to do everything myself. Oh, if I'd just asked for help in the first place…" the red haired woman was suspired to receive a group hug from the Rainbooms.
"That's what friends are for." Rainbow said, and tears of joy spilled from Gloriosa's eyes as she accepted the loving gesture.
Kuvira and Starlight watched the sweet moment, the former looking down sadly. "Are you okay?" Starlight asked.
"You know, Korra once told me; Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems, is by helping someone else with theirs. I didn't fully understand it then." she looked at Gloriosa, who smiled her way. A smile that radiated with gratitude, and Kuvira smiled in return. "Now I do."
Starlight smiled proudly at her friend and gave her a side hug. "I'm very proud of you, Vira."
"Me too." a voice from behind said, surprising the two. Kuvira and Starlight gasped and rapidly spun around to see none other than…
"Korra?!"
"Surprise!" the princess Avatar spread out her arms, welcoming them both into a hug.
"How are you here?" Starlight asked in between happy laughs.
"Sunset gave Asami a call, telling her about what you guys found in the crystal cave. And since we heard there was a party going on, so we all came as soon as possible."
"Wait, all?" Starlight asked, only to gasp upon seeing a familiar handsome stallion, now turned human.
"Hi, honey."
"Sunburst!" Starlight didn't waste a second in wrapping her arms around her husband. Behind him were none other than Mako, Asami, Bolin and the Equestrian Mane Six, each looking human with their asian/equestrian styled clothing. Mako and Bolin held their respected children, and dragon Spike was back into a dog, alongside Pabu and Naga.
"Korra!" the Rainbooms ran down from the stage and hurried to hug their Avatar friend.
"It's so great to see you!" Rainbow Dash said.
"It's really great to see you guys, too." Korra smiled when she heard the adorable giggling sound of her baby girl, who was cradled in Mako's arms. The Six Rainbooms and Flash were left star truck by the little infant, giggling and cooing. "This is Iris. Our daughter."
"Oh, she's beautiful!" Rarity said, her eyes sparkling as she allowed the infant to hold her finger.
"And she's not the only new addition to the family." Mako said, nodding his head to the Equestrian versions of Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry were also present….along with the newborn princess in her arms.
She was a stunning baby girl, with radiant blue eyes and light pinkish peach skin, midnight blue hair just like her mother, but with blue/violet and pink streaks across. Normally, she was in pony form, since she wasn't old enough to morph just yet, but in the mirror world she looked just like any newborn human.
Sunset and Starlight gasped, their hearts filling with joy upon laying eyes on the child. "When did she--"
"Two days ago." Twilight replied, "Alicorn pregnancies are a bit faster than normal ponies."
"Don't I know it." Korra said, recalling her own experience when she was pregnant with Iris.
Both Iris and Twilight and Flash's baby were surrounded by their parents's friends. The Rainbooms cued at the infants, and the children only smiled and giggled. Kuvira approached the Avatar, looking bashfully with her hands behind her back.
"I guess I should explain what happened."
"Yes, you will." Korra said, placing a hand on her friend's shoulder, "Something tells me you've got a lot to tell me."
"You have no idea." Kuvira waved her wrist, making a rose grow from the ground up. Korra blinked in surprise.
"I stand corrected." Korra said, earning a laugh from Kuvira.
Gloriosa approached the group, surprised to see mirror versions of her friends standing before her. Kuvira gently took her by the hand and introduced her to the princess. "I'd like you guys to meet my new friend. Gloriosa Daisy."
"It's very nice to meet you, Gloriosa." Korra said, bowing in respect to the redhead, who blinked in awe upon seeing the new guests.
"So, it's true." she said to Kuvira and the Rainbooms, "You guys really have alternate universe doubles. After tonight, I don't think anything will ever surprise me again."
"You'll get used to it." human Twilight said, winking in reply.
The group shared a humorous laugh, only consequently stop when they spotted three more guests enter the cave. Sonata Dusk, Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze stood before them. Two of the girls looked down in shame, gripping their arms, while Sonata stood in the middle, looking more relaxed compared to her sisters, but a glimpse of uneasiness could be seen in her eyes.
Adagio now had her hair only partly curly, cascading gently down her shoulders, while Aria had her hair in a low ponytail, with a straight side bang swept to the side side. Sonata had her hair completely down, slightly cut just above her shoulders.
Rainbow was the first to speak. Crossing her arms in a disapproving manner. "Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to show up after all these years."
"Relax, Rainbow Dash." Sunset said, placing her hand on Rainbow's forearm. "They're friends now, remember?"
"I'm sorry, but with people switching from good to bad around here, it's hard to keep track."
Sunset and Kuvira looked at the three with sympathetic eyes, as Sonata stepped forward, lowering her head in regret.
"I know it's been a long time, but we wanted to apologize for, you know…using our singing to make everyone at your school hate each other, almost ruined your friendship and tried to take over the world." she turned towards her sisters, nodding her head, encouraging them to step forward.
"We're not asking you to be friends." Adagio said, "But, we do hope you can forgive us."
"And if not, we totally get it." Aria said. "We're not expecting much, just…wanted to clear the air."
Just by looking at them, the Rainbooms could tell that these creatures were indeed fully reformed. They have seen the exact same regret in Sunset's eyes when she first changed. As well as in Twilight's, Kuvira's and most recently Gloriosa. From past experiences alone, they could spot a remorseful soul a mile away.
Sunset seemed the least bit worried, and with good reason. The three would soon discover they too no longer had to worry about these girls not forgiving them, because before they knew it, the Rainbooms merely welcomed the three sisters into a forgiving group hug. Adagio and Aria were bewildered by the sudden positive reaction.
"I don't understand." Adagio said. "How can you forgive us so easily after everything we did?"
Rarity took one of the diamond broaches from her hair and placed it on Adagio's hair, making her smile and shed a few tears. "Call it personal experience, darling."
They all turned to Rainbow Dash, who appeared the most hesitant, which she was. However, she put the three sisters at ease when she smiled. "Yeah. What she said."
Adagio and Aria never knew they could feel such…such bliss in all their lives. For so many years, they only cared for their own indulgences, but their younger sister showed them they could find happiness, not by fueling from hatred, but by sharing friendship and learning to embrace love. Their mother did so when she married their father, now they needed to learn how to do it too.
And by the looks of it, thanks to their new friends in Equestria and here, they were no doubt on the right track.
"Thank you." Aria said, placing her hand over her heart, and the sirens received another hug from the Rainbooms.

Twilight Sparkle was really starting to get the hang of this levitation thing. She effortlessly waved her hands around, placing the strings of lights back into place. She turned around when she noticed Flash approach her, with his guitar in hand.
"That was pretty amazing how you saved the campers from those Rubus fruticosus." he said, giving her a sly grin, "Blackberry brambles."
Twilight giggled, "I'm familiar with the genus. It's just a little weird you say I saved the campers. We all had a part in it, even you. You're a real natural with that sword."
"Not to brag or anything." Flash said, magically making his guitar turn into the same blade as before, "But you're right, I was pretty spectacular."
Twilight giggled once more at her boyfriend's charming humor. "We made a pretty good team, didn't we?"
"Yeah." Flash gave a slight chuckle, scratched the back of his neck and looked down sadly.
"What?"
"It's just…when I saw you bleeding, I…I was afraid I lost you."
Twilight held his hand and placed it on her cheek, allowing him to feel her skin, which felt warm due to her blush. "That will never happen." she said softly, "No matter what happens, even if at some point we're apart, you will always be a part of me, and I will always be a part of you. Nothing will ever change that, not even death."
"I know it won't. But, I don't think you'll ever have to worry about us ever being apart. Because we won't."
For a moment, Twilight felt her heart skip at the sudden determination in Flash's voice. Her mind became foggy and her face turned as red as a tomato. Her heart beat so hard against her chest she felt like trembling. Flash held her hands and got down on one knee, pulling something from his pocket which caused tears to spill from Twilight's eyes.
"Timber always used to tell me that I was lucky to have found you. And he was right. You mean everything to me, Twilight Sparkle. The magic from Equestria can fade away, disappear off the face of the earth entirely and it wouldn't matter to me. Because it will never compare to the magic we have." he opened the little black box he held in his hand, revealing a beautiful star shaped purple diamond ring. Twilight's vision became blurry, but she could see the beauty of the gem as clearly as the stars in the sky.
"Twilight….will you marry me?"
The girl let out a happy laugh, tears of joy still streaming down from her eyes. "Is a sapphire just a ruby without chromium?"
The two laughed and Twilight wrapped her arms around Flash, spinning her around, her feet above the ground. Even without her wings, she felt like flying. They two shared a passionate kiss and Flash placed the ring on her finger. No words could describe the sheer joy they felt. Their story was only just beginning.
"Adorable!" Rarity said, surprising the two. Sunset, Gloriosa, Kuvira and the Rainbooms ran out, hugging the happy couple, practically squealing. Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie were gushing over Twilight's ring, while Rainbow and Applejack congratulated Flash with a pat on the back.
The celebration quickly came to a stop once they heard the sound of a familiar howl, echoing in the night. The group stood in silence, trying to pinpoint where the sound originated from. It sounded louder and more clearer than before. They stepped outside, looking around the area, following the sound.
It was then, that Gloriosa spotted the culprit.
The same brown wolf from which they had seen since day one appear before him. His log tail moving swiftly against the grass, and its green eyes staring directly into their eyes. But, his gaze was specifically fixated on Gloriosa, who felt a sudden wave of familiarity overwhelm her body to the point she felt as if she would tremble and faint.
The creature sprung off, heading towards the campsite. Finally having had enough of the creature's cryptic presence, the group ran after it. The world had appeared several times for them, even assisted the group in escaping the cave. They had solved the mystery of the magic and the truth behind Gae Everfee and Timber's behavior, but this wolf's very existence had yet to be explained.
The canine stopped in front of the lake, standing on the new dock and the group stopped on their tracks. The wind picked up, causing the girls to either hold down their dresses or keep their hairdos from falling apart. Thankfully, the wind wasn't strong for long, and instead felt unusually warm. Like a blanket wrapping around your shoulders on a cold winter night. It felt so comforting that any trace of fear or worry immediately left them.
Leaves of multiple colors spiraled around the wolf, its body emitting a shimmering green glow and his eyes became as bright and yellow as fireflies. His body shifted and changed, his back legs straightened, his front legs turning into human arms, his paws into hands, his snout diapering, his pointed ears shrinking and his fur now replaced with luminescent human skin, and his fur rested on his head, turning into normal human hair.
While his body glowed like a star, his skin appeared brown, his hair green and he wore a casual shirt with black pants and a jean jacket. On his head he wore a familiar hat, one of which he always had on, and was a gift from his late father.
Gloriosa's body became stiff, her eyes shimmering and tears spilled from her eyes. She barely even noticed them. Flash and Twilight were equally stunned, speechless, unable to fully comprehend what, or rather who, they were looking at.
The etherial human smiled warmly, his pupil less eyes gave a heavenly yellow glow, making them both otherworldly, and yet inviting and warm.
Gloriosa's lips trembled as she tried to sound out his name. "T…Timber?"
"Hey, big sis." Timber greeted. His voice was exactly the same. He sounded as if he were still made of flesh and bone. There was no echo, or ghostly whisper that followed.
Flash shook his head, making sure he wasn't dreaming. "Timber Wolf? Is that really you?"
The ghostly figure smiled at the young man. "It's great to see you again, Flash. And you too, Twilight."
The two held each other's hands, still speechless beyond belief. Their old friend, their real friend, was here. Standing before them.
Gloriosa took a step forward, raising up a trembling hand to his face. Despite his ghostly appearance, she could feel his skin. He felt real. He was real. Her instincts took over and she hugged her little brother, sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Despite being the younger sibling, Timber was still taller compared to Gloriosa.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" she cried, "I never should have yelled at you! I never should have said those things! If I hadn't you would still be alive!"
Timber wiped away his sister's tears. "It's not your fault."
"Yes it is. You wanted to make amends but I didn't let you. If I had just let go, you never would have gotten into that cab, and you never would have--" she could barely continue. She knew it was her fault, there was no denying it.
Timber held his sister's face in his hands, for once, making her feel like the younger sibling. Despite the outcome, he still smiled at her with all the love he had for her in life, and even now in death.
"I'm not mad, and I don't blame you. I could have easily chosen to wait another day. I could have easily walked away from the cab, I could have gotten into another plane. You have to stop blaming yourself, Gloriosa. I know you were hurt after I left, and I don't blame you. I regret having leaving you to run the camp, and I struggled every day with myself wether or not I should have returned."
"You didn't." Gloriosa said, "I know how much you wanted to go to that school. Instead of being happy for you, I was thought only about myself. I focused on what I wanted and didn't give much importance to what you wanted. And I'm sorry for that." she placed her hands on Timber's face. "I really was proud of you, Timber. You grew up to be the amazing man dad always knew you'd become." she sucked in her lip as more tears came out. "I just wish you've been given the chance to live your life. To get married and have a family of your own. And now…now you'll never…"
She sobbed, lowering her head in shame and Timber continued to hug her. "I don't regret the little time I had." he said, rubbing her back the same way their father used to do when she was upset. "I don't regret any of it. Even the small time I spent at that school, all the summers here, all the friends I've made. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I may not have lived a long life, but for what it's worth…it's been a good one. But I couldn't move on unless you did. After the accident, I felt drawn back to camp. I felt the magic from the caves grandpa used to tell us about. I took the form of a wolf to try and reach out to you. But, I came too late and you had already found the geodes. I tried to speak to you, but that fake me kept pushing me away from you. I knew you would never be able to hear me so long as he was around, so I used the magic to contact out old friends."
"Wait, the dreams I've been having, that was you?" Twilight said in disbelief.
"Yeah. Since you already had magic inside of you, I knew you and Flash were the best people who could help my sister face the darkness within, so we could see each other again."
Twilight slapped her palm on her forehead in realization, "Oh, now it makes sense! You kept showing me memories from our senior trip to Everfree, and when I kept dreaming of "the darkness within", my subconscious thought up of Midnight Sparkle. That's why I kept seeing her, Gloriosa was facing her own inner demons just like I did."
"So, that's why you kept running off every time the fake Timber was around." Flash concluded, "But, how did you know to give me my guitar when we were in the caves?"
"I knew you had gained magic the moment Twilight kissed you in the forest." Timber explained, "Even when you didn't see or hear me, I was always there, trying to protect you as best I could. Now, thanks to you guys, my sister is finally free…and so am I."
"You…you stayed for me?" Gloriosa said, feeling all the more guilty.
"Yes, I did. I wanted to let you know that I don't blame you, at all. And that you can't live your life in the past." Timber caressed his sister's face, wiping her tears with his thumb. "Take my word for it, Gloriosa. Don't chain yourself. Live your life. Make the most out of every moment. Don't worry about what may come tomorrow. Enjoy what you have today, and please rest easy knowing that I forgive you. I have a long time ago." Timber gently kissed Gloriosa's forehead, "I love you, big sis."
"I love you too, little brother."
The two siblings shared one final hug and Timber walked over to his friends. Flash wiped away his tears with his sleeve. "I still can't believe it." he said, his voice cracking, "I mean, If I had known…"
"There's nothing you could have done." Timber said, placing a hand on Flash's shoulder. "I'm sorry you had to find out like this. I really missed you, buddy."
"I missed you too."
Timber took Twilight's hand and kissed it like a gentleman and smiled at the happy couple. "You guys, are two of the most talented, beautiful, and most courageous people I have ever met. I'm proud of both of you."
"We're proud of you too, Timber." Twilight said, shedding tears. "Not about the dying part, but everything else."
Timber took both Flash and Twilight's hands and placed them together until their fingers were intertwined. "Be good to each other." he said. The two pulled out their wooden wolf keychains, making Timber smile warmly.
"The strength of the pack is the wolf." Twilight said.
"And the strength of the wolf is the pack." Flash finished.
Timber cupped his hands around his mouth and let out the same howl he did in his wolf form, and Flash and Twilight followed his action, howling as well. The three friends laughed an shared one final group hug farewell.
"Thank you. For everything." Timber waved farewell to the Rainbooms, Rarity wiping away her tears with a hankie, and finally, Timber approached Kuvira. "And you…I can see you've been chained to the past like my sister." he said. "Let me ask you this; If one story has an unhappy ending, what do you do?"
Kuvira blinked in confusion. "I don't know."
"You write a new one…and I think you just started."
The earthbender smiled softly as the ghostly human slowly stepped back, waving farewell to everyone, and blowing his sister a farewell kiss. Fireflies and leaves spiraled all around Timber, transforming him back into his world form, only this time the world did not appear solid, but more as a mist, blue and transparent, leaving behind streams of radiant lights as he ran up towards the night sky, rising upwards into the heavens before disappearing. From a distance, a star shimmered high above, followed by the sound of beautiful howling.
Gloriosa smiled, finally feeling at peace to have made amends with her brother. For the first time, she felt now she could finally move forward with her life. But she wasn't the only one.
Kuvira placed her hand on her new friend's shoulder, who hugged her in gratitude. "Thank you, Kuvira."
The earthbender didn't say anything and simply hugged her back. She felt the warmth and love all around her as the rest of her friends shared in the embrace. The stars above sparkling brighter than ever before.

Back inside the cave, Gloriosa was happily mingling with several donors, when one man in particular approached her. "Excuse me, Gloriosa Daisy?" he asked. The man was tan, had brown hair and brown eyes, wearing an expensive suit.
"Yes. Can I help you?"
"Glad you asked, because I'm here to help you." he said, speaking in a kind humble, somewhat southern manner. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Filthy Rich."
"Oh, I think my father mentioned you before. You used to go to camp here when you were in high school."
"Yes, I did. I've made my fondest memories in these here woods, just like everyone else here tonight. I also heard about the situation you had with my old college, Mr. Gladmane. I personally want to apologize for what he put you through."
"Oh, well, thank you, but I don't think I'll have to worry about him again."
"You most certainly won't, because I want to make sure no other chicanery fellow ever lays a finger on this here camp. Which is why I came here to you with an offer."
"An offer?"
"Yes, ma'am. I would like to personally make this camp a part of my Go Green campaign! Where my executives and I help protect places such as yours. If you ever want to add anything, hire more employes to help you out, I'll see to it you have all the fundings you need to make this place run smoothly."
Gloriosa was beyond speechless. "I…I…you're serious?!"
"When it comes to conserving places that mean just as much to my old friends as it does to my family, I am nothing but serious. Of course, all you really need to do is add the GG logo on your Camp name, but other than that, whatever you decide to d with the camp is your saying." Filthy Rich chuckled in surprise when Gloriosa hugged him in gratitude. "I'm assuming that's a yes on your part?"
"That's an absolute yes! Thank you Mr. Filthy Rich! Thank you!"
"Please, just call me Rich." he said, giving Gloriosa a firm handshake.

Back on stage, Sunset Shimmer took the mic, "Hey, everybody! Having a good time?" she asked, receiving a roaring applauds as her response. "This next song is one written by my two best friends, Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry."
She stepped aside allowing for the two to take center stage, and the Rainbooms readied their instruments. Once the music began, Twilight and Flash sang their hearts out, prompting everyone to get on their feet.

(Superstar by Jessie J)

Twilight:
Oh, I, never knew I
Would make it out and come this far
Oh, I, never knew I
Would see the day
We'd come together

Flash:
Oh, it's not like anything I've ever felt before!
Yeaaah, baby!

Twilight gave a sly smile, and using her levitation magic, she ripped the upper part of her dress, revealing a knee high skirt mad loosing her hair. Flash smiled at her sudden change in attire, and continued their song

Flash and Twilight:
You!
You make me happy
You keep me laughing
You make my world a better place
You
You are my rainbow
Color my day so bright
I wanna stay forever with
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
You're shinning into my heart!

Once they hit the hight note, the two ponies up right then and there and started dancing above the crowd, flapping their wings like something out of a dream. While Equestrian Fluttershy and Rarity held Iris and Hiro, and Applejack held Equestrian Flash and Twilight's baby, the infants respected parents danced to the lyrics.
Despite Asami being pregnant, she could still dance pretty well. Mako spun Korra like they always did during these kinds of events, and Twilight and Flash…did their awkward pony dance which they also did during these events.
Starlight danced with Sunburst while Kuvira danced with Gloriosa and Flithy Rich. Apple Bloom danced with Tender Taps, Scootaloo danced with Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon, and Zafron danced with Gaby and Petunia.
Spike, Naga, Pabu and Dog Spike danced happily while barking. Dog Spike couldn't be happier that Flash was going to be officially part of his and Twilight's family.

Twilight:
Oh, I, never knew I
Would have it all
Would have it all

Flash:
Oh, I, never knew I
Would feel so good
Would feel the fall

Flash and Twilight:
Oh, I, never knew I
Would live the dream
It's so surreal
Oh, I, never knew I
Would see the day, we'd come together
Oh, it's not like anything I've ever felt before
Before
Befoooore!

Sonata, Adagio and Aria danced closest to the stage, only to be surprised when the Rainbooms themselves asked the tree to join them. Adagio and Aria were hesitant at first, but thanks to Sonata's encouragement, they accepted the invite. They were each given individual microphones, much to their surprise. Tthey could still sing rather well, it just no longer hypnotized anyone within hearing range anymore. They girls happily encouraged the three sisters to sing with them. Maybe now they could use their voices to spread joy rather than animosity.

The Dazzlings, Rainbooms, Flash and Twilight:
You!
You make me happy
You keep me laughing
You make my world a better place
You
You are my rainbow
Color my day so bright
I wanna stay forever with
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
You're shinning into my heart!

The Dazzlings couldn't believe how beautiful they sounded together. This was the first time they had ever sang simply for the joys of it. To think, all this time, all they really needed to do in order to gain an audience was to sing from their hearts. And together as a family. With friends, to boot.
Twilight and Flash continued their magic dance, now accompanied by several other couples, thanks to some magic from the two Princesses. Folks danced in the air, laughing and having the best time.

You're shinning bright
Bright, bright, bright
You're shinning so bright
Yeah, yeaaaah

My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
You're shinning into my heart!
Yeah, yeah!

Iris reached out her hand to touch the hand of Twilight and Flash's baby, and once the ends of their fingers tapped each other, a spark of magic came shooting out, hitting the chandelier, creating a disco-ball effect with multiple colors dancing around the surface of the cave.
The two pairs of parents noticed what their children did, and only smiled proudly. Clearly, these two little princesses would become a very powerful duo indeed. Just like their mothers.
Sunset jumped down from the stage, to join Starlight, Kuvira and Gloriosa in a dance. Kuvira never knew she could feel this happy. For the first time, she didn't see herself as the siren who tried to destroy the world. She no longer allowed her past mistakes dictate who she was tonight, or who she would be from now on. Even if several other people would still need some time to fully forgive her, perhaps the only ones who's opinions really mattered where the ones who accepted her, and offered her something she was too scared to accept, to believed she didn't deserve it. Something she always had, but had forgotten.
The Magic of Friendship.

Everyone:
You!
You make me happy
You keep me laughing
You make my world a better place
You
You are my rainbow
Color my day so bright
I wanna stay forever with
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My superstar
My superstar
You shine so bright into my heart
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
You're shinning into my heart!

As everyone danced the night away, the sound of a harmonious howl could be heard from outside, perfectly in sync with the song.
