The Aftermath of Nightmare Sparkle

by Twilight Star


Epilogue

Twilight and Luna slept in bed together, hugging each other while smiling. Twilight woke up. Today she was going to return to Ponyville. She couldn’t wait to see her friends and Spike again. But she wasn’t going to tell them that Luna was her marefriend, since she didn’t want it to be judged. She looked at Luna and saw her waking up.

 “Did you sleep well, my love?” she asked.

 “Love? What an interesting nickname,” said Twilight Sparkle with a shy smile. She never imagined that Luna would start calling her that since they started dating. But she even liked that.

 Luna’s smile fell. “Do you feel uncomfortable about this? If you want, I can stop and just call you by name again.”

 “No. It’s okay, Luna. I’m just shy about it, but you keep calling me that.” explained Twilight Sparkle.

 “Won’t you be uncomfortable?” asked Luna to be sure.

 “Of course not, Luna. I even like to be called that.” blushed Twilight Sparkle. Luna smiled. Well, if it didn’t bother Twilight, then she would continue.

 The door started to open, Twilight Sparkle and Luna looked at the door. The door opened, revealing Celestia. “Twilight! Luna! I see you two have already woken up!”

 “Yes, sister,” said Luna.

 “I came here to wake you both up, but since you two are awake, let’s go to the balcony. You need to lower the moon and I raise the sun.” explained Celestia to Luna.

 Luna and Twilight came out of the embrace and got up from the bed. Luna put on her regalia and her crown. Twilight watched Luna. That done, Celestia started walking. The two followed Celestia. When they left, Luna closed her bedroom door with her magic. Twilight waited for Luna. When Luna finished, they started walking again.

 “It is a pity that you will have to return to Ponyville today, love,” said Luna, now sad. “I will miss you.”

 “I know, Luna. I’ll miss you too,” agreed Twilight Sparkle. “But you can come and visit me in Ponyville and I can come and visit you in Canterlot when I’m not too busy, so we could spend a night together.”

 Luna smiled a little. “Yeah. It’s a good idea, love.”

 Celestia and Luna approached very close to the balcony and started to lower the moon and raise the sun. Twilight had sat on her hips to watch the princesses. But her thoughts were on her days here in Canterlot, she wasn’t looking at Celestia and Luna now, she was looking to the left side. She never imagined that she would be able to forgive herself for what she did as Nightmare Sparkle. She looked at Celestia and Luna, and saw that the two had already lowered the moon and raised the sun. Twilight stood up with a smile.

 The two royal sisters turned and saw Twilight standing. “Come on, Twilight. Let’s have breakfast,” said Celestia.

 “Yes Princess.” Twilight followed Celestia and Luna. She approached Luna and stood beside her. Luna and Twilight looked at each other with smiles, knowing that they were now together.

 When they arrived at the dining room, they sat in the same places and there were pancakes on the table. As they ate, Luna looked at Twilight with a smile. Since Twilight helped her on Nightmare Night, she started to develop loving feelings for the purple unicorn.

 When she had returned to Canterlot after Nightmare Night, Celestia had realized that she was quite happy, well, happier than usual. Celestia had asked her why she was happy, since good humor was’t something Luna felt quite often. She had been unsure since Twilight was a student of Celestia. But after Celestia asked so much, Luna confessed that she was in love with Twilight. Celestia had been surprised at first, but then she accepted what Luna felt. Luna’s insecurity changed to happiness, as Celestia approved of her relationship with Twilight. But she never confessed to Twilight what she felt before, because she was afraid of rejection. When Twilight confessed that she loved Luna more as a friend, Luna accepted and took the opportunity to confess that she felt the same way as Twilight.

 She was very happy that Twilight was her marefriend. But, she decided to start eating her pancake so she could take Twilight back to Ponyville, say goodbye to her and go back to Canterlot.

 When finished eating, Luna, Twilight and Celestia were at the entrance to the castle. “Twilight, would you like me to take you back to Ponyville?” offered Luna with a smile.

 Twilight Sparkle thought for a few seconds before answering. “No. Thank you, Luna. I’m going by train.”

 Luna looked a little sad about the answer, but she soon smiled. “Okay, then,” Twilight hugged Luna and Celestia. The two alicorn returned the hug.

 When they left the embrace, Twilight said, “I’m going. Bye, Princess Celestia! Bye, Luna!”

 “Bye, Twilight!” the two royal sisters shouted in unison as they smiled and said goodbye with a hoof.

 When Twilight was out of sight, they returned to inside the castle.

   “I’m glad Twilight managed to forgive herself, sister,” said Luna with a smile.

  “Me too, Luna,” said Celestia, also smiling.
