Curtain call

    An uproar of applause echoed through the auditorium as the cast and narrator got a standing ovation, the cast all came out on stage hoof in hoof as the curtain rose for them all to take a bow. Twilight's family with tears in their eyes cheered probably as loud as Rainbow Dash's parents. The curtain closed one last time and Luna came out on stage.

     "I'd like to thank everypony and every creature who came to this production, with all of your help we managed to raise over one million bits for the Egghead Foundation, a foundation for helping underprivileged colts and fillies along with other creatures get a proper education. We'd also like to give another round of applause for our fantastic cast and the ones who worked behind the scenes."

     Another round of applause swept through the auditorium as the cast came out again along with all the creatures and ponies who worked behind the scenes.

    Once the audience left the royal family and Rainbow Dash's parents along with Celestia and Luna stayed behind to say congratulations to their family and friends, Twilight and Rainbow Dash just got out of their dressing rooms when they saw them. 

     "Hey, there's our little star." Night Light said as he enveloped Twilight in a big hug. "You sure did everypony proud."

     Twilight blushed bright red as Celestia and Luna approached. "I think the dress was absolutely stunning." Celestia said. "That was the one you used to spy on Starlight when she was helping Luna and myself right?" Celestia asked, causing Twilight's jaw to drop.

     "You know?" Twilight asked shocked that she does. 

     "Yes, the castle may look like it's well designed, but it has thin walls." Celestia said, revealing how she knew. "Now, I think you all should enjoy time with your families, thank you for doing this Twilight."

     "Celestia and Luna then took off to take the bits to the foundation leaving the royal family, along with Rainbow Dash and her folks staring up at the sky.
