Three weeks after Twilight's death, Flurry had just put Diamond to bed. As she was getting ready for bed herself, she saw her shadow as a soft glow appeared behind her. She turned around, to see spiritual forms of Twilight, Cadence, Shining Armor, Luna, Celestia, and 2 more royal figures. Being polite, she bowed down before them.
"Rise, Sweetie.", Cadence said in an echoey voice.
Flurry rose, and the 2 unknown figures introduced themselves.
"I am Queen Galaxia, mother of Celestia and Luna.", said the female.
"I am King Cosmos, father of Celestia and Luna.", said the male.
"We are proud of how you have grown in these years of your life. We feel that you are ready to be crowned Queen of the Equestrian Empire.", Celestia said.
"The coronation will be held next week, here at the Crystal Castle.", Cadence said.
"Follow me.", Flurry calmly and quietly to Galaxia and Cosmos.
She led them to the nursery doors and then turned around. Placing a hoof to her muzzle as a way of asking them to be quiet, she turned back to the doors and opened them quietly. Diamond Radiance was sleeping soundly. So much so, that when Flurry used her magic to pick up her baby, Diamond did not feel it. Diamond awoke half-way when she felt herself being wrapped in a soft blanket. Smiling at her mom, she went back to sleep. Flurry held her baby up to Galaxia and Cosmos. Cosmos smiled warmly at the little one.
"She is a precious little one.", Galaxia whispered as she awwed at the little baby and shed tears of happiness.
Flurry nodded, and put her baby back in her crib, before going to bed.
The following week, it was time for the crowning. Brandon and his former shipmates were there. They were dressed in their nicest manner. Everyone who was present, was dressed like a graduate. The spiritual forms reappeared, and led the entire ceremony. Flurry Heart came walking proudly up the aisle, until she reached the platform. She was dressed in the finest royal robes and regalia ever seen in all of Equestria. Twilight lit her horn and picked up the ornately polished, gold, jeweled crown. Smiling and glowing, she placed it on Flurry Heart's head.
"BEHOLD, QUEEN FLURRY HEART", Galaxia shouted.
Instantly, the entire room burst into cheering applause. Then, they took off their hats, and hurled them high into the air. The spiritual forms embraced Flurry Heart, wishing her luck, hugging and kissing her, and telling her to keep taking care of her daughter. Flurry Heart shed tears of happiness as she said she would do so. Then, the spiritual forms glowed brighter, and shot up into the heavens. Flurry Heart smiled and closed her eyes. She then turned to face the audience, and flared out her wings. Opening her eyes, she saw that Diamond had become crystallized, and everyone else was the same way. Diamond was cooing, clapping, and flapping all at the same time. Smiling at her, Flurry Heart called out to her.
"Come to Mommy, my little Diamond.", she said in a loving, motherly tone.
Diamond flew to her mother, and Flurry Heart lifted her up for all to see, marking the dawn of a brand new era. Brandon and his crew said their final goodbyes, and boarded their ships. Watching them fly up into space, Flurry planned to tell her daughter, someday, about who they were, and how they helped save Equestria.
