//------------------------------// // epilogue // Story: A relief for the eyes // by Twilight Star //------------------------------// It was about to dawn, and Nightmare Moon woke to lower the moon, but when she was very close to Twilight Sparkle with its front hooves around the abdomen,and Twilight Sparkle was blushing about it. Nightmare Moon noticed that she had her front hooves around Twilight Sparkle and quickly took off her hooves in Twilight Sparkle and got out of bed quickly.  “Sorry about that, Twilight. If you don’t mind I go on your balcony to lower the moon, then I’ll take you to the hospital to get your medical strip, I’ll be right back”, said Nightmare Moon quickly.  She then ran to the balcony. She looked at the horizon before she lowered the moon. After lowering the moon, she returned inside, and saw Twilight Sparkle still in bed, waiting for her. Nightmare Moon suddenly felt stupid to speak quickly and run away to lower the moon, it was as if she had done something that had offended Twilight Sparkle. Her ears dropped as she frowned.  ’Nice work, Luna. You must show that you care for her, and not run away like a frightened filly’  Twilight had heard the footsteps and decided to thank Nightmare Moon for everything she did to make it better, “come on, Luna. You’ve done so much to me, that I don’t even know how to thank you for taking care of me. I love you, Luna”, said Twilight Sparkle with a hull touching the medical band.  Nightmare Moon’s ears suddenly brightened up with the words, but mostly the last words: “I love you Luna”  She looked surprised and began to wonder if what she said was really true.  ’Did she really mean it? Well, she was thanking me, so it’s possible she feels the same way I feel about her. So that means she really meant it” She thought as her stunned expression slowly turned a happy expression.  Suddenly her height returned to the height he had been before, her hair changed from black to navy blue, her dragon slits turned pupils, her fangs became normal teeth, her light blue helmet turned a black crown and her light blue armor became a regalia of princess. She returned to be Princess Luna!  ’She loves me too!’ thought Luna cheerfully as she had a toothy smile on her face.  Princess Celestia was in the hospital waiting for her sister to arrive with Twilight Sparkle. Then she heard the hospital’s front door open. Luna walked into the hospital with Twilight Sparkle on her back while holding the medical supplies she used to clean the medical lane. She was surprised and happy that her sister was now Luna again.  “Sister! You returned to your normal form”, said Celestia with a smile on her face.  “I know, Sister. It’s just that I’m so happy that Twilight loves me for taking care of her, and I want to tell her how much I love her”, said Luna still smiling.  “Well, if you love her, why didn’t you tell her when you took care of her?” asked Celestia.  Celestia knew her sister loved Twilight Sparkle. Luna always talked to her sister about how much Twilight meant to her. Luna had previously been afraid Celestia wouldn’t accept, because Twilight was her student. But Celestia accepted, and Luna was relieved.  Then the door leading to the office opened and Nurse Heart saw the two princesses and bowed to them before speaking, “princesses. I think you’re here to get us the medical band, right?”  “Yes, Nurse Heart. And Twilight is on my back” replied Luna to Nurse Heart as she pointed with a hull that Twilight Sparkle was with her.  Nurse Heart saw Twilight Sparkle and tried to take Twilight Sparkle from Luna’s back to take her to the doctor’s office to get the medical band. She managed to get her out and take her to the consulting room, leaving Celestia and Luna alone.  As the door closed, Celestia looked at her sister who was staring at the door, hoping that Twilight Sparkle would come back soon to say she loved her too.  “So, you’re going to tell her that you love her when she comes back?” asked Celestia.  Luna looked up from the door and looked at her sister to answer it: “Yes, sister. I was thinking of buying flowers to say that I love her too, but I have no doubt she’s already out of the doctor’s office when I get back.”  “Luna, if you want to buy flowers for her, you can”, Celestia told her sister.  “But what if she’s already here, when I come back and she asks where I am?” asked Luna even doubtfully whether or not she should do it.  “If she’s out of the office, I’ll tell her you’re coming back”, replied Celestia with a smile on her face.  Luna hugged Celestia before speaking: “Thank you, Celestia! You’re the best sister in the world!”  Celestia hugged back before answering: “Thank you Luna, you too”  Celestia sat in one of the chairs while reading a magazine in the waiting room. She then heard a door open, she took her eyes from the magazine to see who had opened the office door. Nurse Heart had opened the door and was surprised to find only Celestia now. She bowed before she spoke.  “Princess, Twilight is already without the medical bands, would you like me to call her to come here?”   “Yes, please” replied Celestia.  Nurse Heart then entered the office once more to warn Twilight Sparkle.  Suddenly, Celestia heard the hospital door opening. She looked at the door to see that she had entered. She saw Luna holding a bouquet of flowers with her magic.  “Will Twilight be released now?” asked Luna as she walked over to her sister.  “Yes. Nurse Heart went to warn Twilight”  Then the two princesses heard the door open to see Twilight Sparkle.  Luna quickly hid the bouquet behind her, hoping Twilight Sparkle had not seen the bouquet.  “Twilight, I’m glad you’ve seen it again”, said Luna with a smile as she looked at Twilight Sparkle.  Twilight Sparkle looked at Luna before answering, “thank you, Luna. I’m glad you came back to your normal form”, said Twilight Sparkle as she stared at the floor and a small blush appeared on her cheeks.  “Twilight, I have something to give you”, said Luna still smiling.  Twilight Sparkle took her eyes off the floor and looked at Luna with a smile.  “Really? Which is?” asked Twilight Sparkle.  Luna took the bouquet behind her and showed her to Twilight.  Twilight choked on the bouquet.  “I love you too, Twilight”, said Luna with a smile.  Twilight Sparkle then hugged Luna with her hooves around Luna’s neck. And Luna hugged her back smiling, knowing that Twilight Sparkle still loved and would always love her.
