Megan slowly stirred and saw the first rays of the dawn. Getting out of bed, she went to the window and watched Celestia use her powers to riase the sun. This put a smile on her face.
That's a beautiful sight. Megan thought proudly. I'll bet Princess Luna raises the moon just as gracefully.
Later after getting dressed and packing her backpack, Megan has a meeting with Celestia in a dining area.
"Have you been enjoying your week in Equestria, Megan?" Celestia asked.
"I sure have." Megan answered. "It's hard to believe that a whole week has passed. Now, later today, I'm on my way home."
"Before you leave, can you tell me about your experiences during your week's stay."
The kind human girl recalled how she spent her week's vacation. "My vacation began in Ponyville. I was a great help as Twilight and her friends and the Young Six cleaned up the School of Friendship. I helped Starlight Glimmer straighten out her office."
"It's good to know that you're helpful." Celestia praised. "Please continue."
"Okay, Princess Celestia." Megan replied. "On day 2, I joined Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle on a camping trip in the Everfree Forest. Zecora even treated all of us to some homemade vegetable stew."
"Zecora is a good friend to us all."
"She sure was. On day 3, I traveled with Rarity and Photo Finish to a little sight seeing tour in Manehattan. That city is HUGE! And, the park there was relaxing."
"Perhaps, Luna and I would like to travel there." Celesta figured. "What happened next?"
Megan thought about it for a bit. The, she remembered. "On day 4, I helped Applejack and her family at Sweet Apple Acres. I admit, the cider that family makes is delicious."
"I hope you didn't go overboard like Twilight's friend, Rainbow Dash, does."
"I sure didn't. I took it slow and easy. Anyway, day 5 was at the Crystal Empire. Starlight Glimmer spent time with Sunburst. And, I get to see Baby Flurry Heart. Pinkie Pie was right. She was so cute!"
Celestia nodded with Megan. "Flurry Heart was a sight to behold. The first time an alicorn babay was born is very rare."
"I guess so." Megan said as she continued her trip down memory lane. "Day 6 was at Appleloosa. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts tagged along. Everybody got to relax there. Applejack's cousin Braeburn was a great guide. "
"And finally," Celestia said, "where did you go?"
Megan answered the question. "Day 7 took place here, in Canterlot. Even Hoity Toity appreciated my company. Especially during the celebration of the School of Friendship."
"I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Equestria." Celestia praised as she walks up to Megan. "You're always welcome to visit us."
Feeling so happy, Megan shed tears of joy as she and Celestia embraced in a sweet hug. "Thank you, Princess Celestia." She said softly.
Later that day, Megan was back at her own home, thanks to Twilight Sparkle.  As she was laying down on her own bed, her parents came in with her aunt Rachel. This woman has straight brown hair and glasses. She wore a bright pink polo shirt, blue skirt, and black platform shoes. Megan wondered what brings her aunt to her room.
"I'm very sorry for not letting you join Danny and Molly on vacation, Megan." Rachel said, hoping for forgiveness. "I hope you didn't have a bad time this week because of me."
"We may never know." Mrs. Williams said as Megan thought about Twilight and the rest of the Mane SIx. "But, I have a feeling that her week was more enjoyable than we would think."
