Emerald happily says "I'm glad you have found a home. Just know that you will always be my baby girl. I love you Rose. I hope you have a happy life," as Emerald finished talking she turns to Twilight with concern on her face.
Twilight seeing the concern on Emeralds face says to the room "Everypony i need to have a private word with Emerald alone."
Everypony left the room except for Twilight and Emerald. Once they were alone Twilight cast a sound proofing spell on the room. As the spell took effect Twilight says "Now that nopony can over hear us please tell me what has you so concerned ."
Emerald after taking a deep breath to calm herself says " When Rose was chased away by Solid i went into her room and found her diary because i needed to know how long she wanted to be a filly. What i found out surprised me. I know this isn't my place to say but i found out she is in love with you. I also know why you didn't stay in contact with her and that is because you were and still are in love with her. She has a good thirty pages filled with her dream wedding to you. The thing that concerns me is that i need to know how you truly feel about her. What are your feelings for my precious Rose?"
Twilight nervously stammers "I l-l-love her. I always h-have. She is like the air i breath or the water i drink. It's like i am the sun. I can't do anything without my goddess to raise me up. When i left to find the Elements of Harmony and cut my ties with her was the hardest and worst decision that i have ever made in my life. I only realized that when i saw her at Sweet Apple Acres. But with my position as a princess how can i know if someone loves me for me. You see i can't know for sure. So the night I became an alicorn princess i cast a spell to seal away my feelings until i saw my true love. The day Rose told me what happened was the day the seal broke. I was on my way to see Celestia and Luna for when i realized i loved him with all my heart. The moment i realized this the seal broke. However i still couldn't tell Rose because i was afraid he wouldn't feel the same way. But now thanks to you i think this might just work."
Emerald sat in silence the whole time Twilight spoke. Once Twilight was finished with her story Emerald says " I have a suggestion for you. When you get back to ponyville look for the meadow behind your castle with nopony around and focus all your love and magic for my sweet little Rose and say Latua Enchancia Truelove Immortalia. That spell is a spell from olden times that can only be cast by an alicorn. It will then tie your immortality to your true love and make her immortal with you. Be warned though that this spell is a double edge sword for if the one you thought of isn't your true love you will die a painful death. However there is no need to fear for i know that Rose is your true love. So i would save it for an emergency."
Twilight relaxing says "Thank you Emerald. I have decided to tell her how i truly feel about her once we get back. Also thank you for having such a wonderful daughter." As Twilight finished talking she lit her horn and ended the sound proofing spell.
"You are very welcome Twilight. Don't be a stranger now. After all one day you will be my daughter in law," says Emerald as she shows Twilight the way out.
As Celestia, Gleaming, Twilight and Rose were waiting for the train to arrive Celestia, Gleaming and Rose were deep in conversation. While Twilight thought about how she was going to tell Rose her true feelings.
Twilight was so deep in thought she didn't notice the train had arrived. It was only when Rose pinched her cheek that she noticed. Twilight noticing that Rose was asking her a question shook her head and says " Sorry i was lost in thought. What were you saying Rose."
Rose looking confused says "I asked what has you so deep in thought you didn't notice the train arrive."
"I'll tell you when we get back to Ponyville. It is a bit embarrassing in a good way. Anyways we should get on the train. Bye Celestia, bye Gleaming hope to see you soon,"says Twilight walking on to the train with Rose close behind.
About half way down the mountain on which Canterlot was built Twilight saw a dragon the size of a large town swoop down on the train attacking it. The train tumbled down the rest of the mountain getting all banged up and crushed on the way down. As the train came to rest at the bottom of the mountain Twilight a little banged up with a piece of metal stuck in her right hoof asks " Rose are you all right?" When Twilight didn't get an answer she looked over to Rose and saw that rose was unconscious and bleeding from her head.
Twilight upon seeing Rose's head bleeding very badly focuses her magic on her and Rose and casts a teleportation spell teleporting them to Ponyville General Hospital.
As soon as Twilight and Rose appear in the hospital waiting room Twilight yells "Somepony, anypony please help. My friend is bleeding very badly from her head and it won't stop."
A couple seconds later three doctors and two nurses came running into the waiting room. As they approached Rose a nurse and doctor to lift her onto a stretcher.
A doctor Twilight recognizes as Caring Heart says to the other two doctors and nurses and says "Take her to emergency room six. I'll be therein a few minutes. I need to ask Princess Twilight some questions before we begin."
As the other doctors and nurses took Rose away Caring Heart turned to Twilight and asks "Princess Twilight i need to know if Rose is allergic to any meds or antibiotics? Do you know what her blood type is? Does she have any insurance?"
Twilight taking her eyes off the door through which Rose was taken says " No she isn't allergic to any meds or antibiotics. As for her blood type she is AB positive the same as me and as far as i know she doesn't have any insurance but i will pay anything just save her."
As Twilight finished talking she passed out from the stress of the pass few days and from the pain in her right hoof that had a piece of metal in it.
Doctor Caring Heart took out the piece of metal and stitched up the wound in all of sixty seconds. As she finished she had a nurse take Twilight to the recovery room. Once Caring Heart was done with Twilight she went to help Rose in the emergency room.
Over the next four hours Caring Heart and the others did all they could to save Rose. In the end she was still in critical condition. So Caring went to the recovery room where Twilight and her friends were. As Caring entered she said " Well we have done all we can. She is still in critical condition and if i were to estimate her chances. They would be a thirty percent chance she makes it and a seventy percent chance she dies. I'm sorry ."the doctor then leaves the group of friends alone.
Twilight up on hearing the chances broke down crying. She felt as though her true other half had died. Twilight thought about telling her friends how she felt about rose. She made a pros and cons list in her mind. After finding the pros list acceptable and the cons not acceptable she takes a deep breath and says "Everypony i have something important to tell you. The first is that I'm a fillyfooler. The second is I'm in love with a very old friend. Finally the pony I'm in love with is Rose. I have been in love with her since i first saw her at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Even back then i knew i preferred fillies and she was a colt. That is why when i was sent to find the Elements of Harmony i never contacted her or even wrote her a letter. But what i didn't know was that she was in love with me too. I found out during our visit with her family. Her mother told Emerald and i had a private conversation. She also told me of a spell that would tie my immortality to her so neither of us would die or we both would die."
It was then as Twilight said neither her or Rose would die or they both would that she remembered Rose's mother telling her to save the spell for an emergency. Twilight snapping out of her thoughts says " Everypony listen up. I might be able to save Rose. You see Rose's mother told me to save the spell for an emergency. The only reason i can think of that it should be saved is because it will heal all Rose's wounds and mine. However the spell after i cast it will test my love for rose and scan all my memories of her i believe. If i pass the test because my love is true Rose and i should be fully healed. On the other hoof if i fail i will die."
Twilight turned to Spike and says "Spike i want you to write a letter to Celestia telling her everything that happened including the dragon. While Rainbow Dash and i go to the spot where i need to cast the spell."
