One week after Pound Cake and Flurry Heart had come home, a meeting was held. Representatives from all territories were present. Celestia was in charge, and they began to discuss uniting into one nation. They would bind together to form the Equestrian Empire. Canterlot would still be the capitol, but all of the borders would be dropped. All of the representatives voted "Yes", and the plans were put into action. The borders were dropped, treaties were set, and the process took full effect. The dawn of the Equestrian Empire had finally come. Brandon, Link, Stephen, and Colin took charge, and built up new versions of the buildings that had been destroyed. They helped by all means, to unite all nations, and Equestria into ONE.

Peace was formed, expansion took place, and soon, the empire was finally finished. There would be no more wars, or threats at this point, because there would be no one to rebel against. They signed agreements to never wage war again. If these were broken in any way, the culprits would be sent to jail for LIFE WITH NO BAIL. 

Over the next several months, there were no disputes, or rebellions. Luna was in charge of courts if anyone broke the rules. She was relieved whenever she would learn that no rules were being violated. It was always a pleasure to know that everyone was abiding by the rules and regulations, because otherwise, riots could break out. 

It came as a surprise to hear that Flurry Heart and Pound Cake were planning to have children.

"I'M PREGNANT!!", she cried out to her parents, and to Twilight.

"AAAAAWWWWW, CONGRATULATIONS!!", Twilight said.

"Will it be a filly, or a colt?", Cadence asked her daughter.

Flurry Heart did not know, because she hadn't had an ultrasound done yet. She did know for certain that she would be letting out tears of happiness on the day she would give birth.
