Chapter 18 – Epilogue
Above the loving scene of the date night between Twilight Sparkle and Mystic Study, a lone figure watches the two. She shrouded herself in the night around her so as not to make her presence know, lest the happy couple’s festivities be interrupted by her presence. With a smile on her face, the mare left the scene, but not before causing a few shooting stars to streak across the sky, adding a little extra magic to the night.
The pony flew home to Canterlot and landed on the balcony of the castle. Quietly she tried to make her way into the castle so as not to disturb any pony. Suddenly when she though she was home free upon reaching her bedroom, she was greeted by a familiar face.
“There you are Luna,” Princess Celestia said, “I was wondering where you had gone.”
“Oh hello sister. I was… out for a nightly stroll.”
“More like checking on the happy couple, weren’t you?”
“Yes,” Luna said realizing that she had been caught red hoofed, “Twilight’s friends had planned a date night for the couple. It is really quite wonderful.”
“I must admit you showed you soft spot to me this week sister,” Luna said, “I knew that your student, Mystic, was looking for love, but when I heard that you sent him to Ponyville to study the Elements of Harmony, I began to wonder.”
“Wonder what?”
“Don’t be coy, sister. You sent Mystic there to meet with Twilight Sparkle so that the two could fall in love, didn’t you?”
“Yes I did,” Luna said sheepishly, “It’s just Mystic seemed so unhappy not having a special somepony and that he is very like Twilight, I thought that maybe the two would at least become friends and even a couple.”
“My little sister the matchmaker,” the white princess said teasingly to her, “Did you also cause that branch to fall on your student’s head so that Twilight could find him?”
“Now Celestia, you don’t really think I’d conjure up a storm so that I could make the two meet each other, do you?”
Celestia looked into the greenish blue eyes of her sister. She knew Luna was capable of creating storms with her magic as she had done so during Nightmare Night. Yet she didn’t want to accuse her of knocking out her won student. Still, there was something in her sister’s eyes, a glint of truth that made her sister smile.
“No, sis, I don’t think you’d do that to Mystic. Well at least the two are happy now that they have found each other. I suppose that I will be seeing your student when Twilight pays a visit.”
“I’m sure I’ll see Twilight too when Mystic visits me,” Luna added, “I believe the two will be a very loving couple for the future.”
“As do I. Well, I am going off to bed as I will need to raise the sun in a few short hours. Goodnight, Luna.”
“Goodnight, Celestia.”
The Princess of the sun looked like she was about to exit to her room when she stopped and turned towards her sister.
“Oh and in the future if you choose to match two ponies together, please be careful. Oh, and you might want to drop a smaller branch so as not to permanently harm a pony.”
Before Luna could reply, Celestia just smiled and left the room.
“So Twilight and Mystic,” Luna said as she reflected on seeing the happy couple, “I think my sister and I are going to be expecting great things from you in the future. Love and magic are one with you two. I hope that those qualities only grow with time and your bonds will become ever closer.”
The End!
