Twilight, her friends, and their future-selves have regrouped together.
"So, are we all okay now?" Future Twilight asked.
"Yes, we are, Twilight." Future Applejack said.
"We've explained everything and will look after them." Future Rarity said.
"And Pinkie has got herself a little brother." Future Pinkie said.
"Thanks, guys." Future Twilight said.
"Um, excuse me?" Twilight said. "I have something I like to say... to my friends."
"Fire away, little Twilight." Future Spike said.
Everyone chuckles.
Twilight walks up to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy... you have the most sweetest voice in the world." She said. "And you're even the most kindest animal care taker I've ever seen. I was even amazed when you took on that big bear the other day."
"I never wanted to hurt him that bad, but at least I made him friendly." Fluttershy said. "Thank you, Twilight."
"Don't forget about the giant dragon." Future Fluttershy said.
"Rarity... you are the most elegant fashion designer ever." Twilight said. "The dresses and the jewelry you make? I don't think anyone can topple you."
Rarity starts tearing up. "Oh, darling..." She said. "That was the most sweetest thing I heard you say to me."
"Applejack, the most amazing and honest pony I've made friends with." Twilight said. "The apples you harvest are always perfect and delicious."
Applejack sniffles. "Aww..." She said lovingly. "You know, if I haven't met you or any of your friends, Twilight, then I wouldn't have had any adventures. But I'm darn proud to be your friend."
Twilight begins crying. "Rainbow Dash... my most loyal and 'awesome' friend." She said. "You perform the most spectacular rainbooms. You can always be 20% cooler if you want to be."
"I was born to be that way, you know?" Rainbow said, sobbing.
"I hope you'll become the greatest Wonderbolt ever." Twilight said. "To me, you're unstoppable."
"Thanks, Twilight." Rainbow said, hugging Twilight. "I always wanted to make you and my friends proud."
"Pinkie Pie... my most hilarious friend." Twilight said. "You throw the biggest parties that everyone loves."
"Well, sometimes I can be too crazy, and... I don't wanna annoy you." Pinkie said.
"No, Pinkie." Twilight said. "You always make me happy, and that's what I love about you."
"And I love the way you care about me." Pinkie said. "We care for each other."
"And Spike... my best friend." Twilight said. "You've been by my side ever since I made you, and you've also been studying and learning everything about the Magic of Friendship with me. I wouldn't be anything without you. You will always be my right-hoof dragon."
"I wouldn't be anything without you too, Twilight." Spike said.
"And the most important thing is... I wouldn't be anything without any of you girls." Twilight said.
"And we feel the same way." Rarity said.
"I love you, guys..." Twilight said, whimpering.
"We all love you." Applejack said. "We're your family."
The Mane Six and Spike have a group hug.
"How much I've missed this." Future Twilight said.
"Yeah, me too." Future Spike said. "Friendship is always magic."
"Not just that... It's family." Future Twilight said.
Twilight then realizes something. "Oh, actually... Mom?" She said to her future-self.
The others felt surprised.
"You... you called me 'Mom'!" Future Twilight said, chuckling.
"Hey, Little Dashie called me that, too." Future Rainbow said.
"May I ask you for one more favor, please?" Twilight asked.
"Absolutely." Future Twilight said. "Anything you want."
"Um, about Spike. Do you see something a bit off?" Twilight asked.
"What?" Spike said.
"Who?" Future Spike asked, confused. "Little Spike, or me Spike?"
Future Twilight takes a look at both Spikes. "Ah, yes, I see what is missing." She said, realizing.
"What? I've still got my medal, haven't I?" Future Spike said.
Future Twilight snickers. "Little Spike?" She said to Spike. "Step right here."
"Uh, okay, Your Majesty." Spike said, as he walks towards Future Twilight.
"Perfect. Now stay still..." Future Twilight said, as she uses her magic on Spike.
The others gasp, as they see that Spike now has wings, just like his future-self does.
"Twilight? What happened?" Spike asked.
"Spike... You have wings!" Twilight said, amazed.
"Wings?" Spike said, as he looks at his wings, surprised.
"Ah, that's what was missing." Future Spike said.
"Hey, this means..." Spike said.
"You can fly!" Fluttershy said.
Spike feels overjoyed. "I can fly!" He said, as he starts hovering above the ground. "YES! I CAN FLY!!!" He starts laughing.
"That'll do nicely." Future Twilight said.
"Thanks, Mom." Twilight said, smiling. "You know... you may be me, but... you make a great ruler."
"And you make a beautiful princess." Future Twilight said, smiling back.
"How do you think me and my friends will turn out?" Twilight asked.
"You do great." Future Twilight said, putting her hoof on Twilight's cheek. "Just don't ever stop doing what you love."
"I promise." Twilight said, as she and her future-self hug.
"Hey, Twilight!" Luster said, as she arrives. "Oh, sorry, I'm talking to the young Twilight."
"Hi, Luster Dawn." Twilight said. "Or may I say 'my star-student'?"
"Our star-student." Future Twilight corrected.
Luster giggles. "Hey... I heard what happened at the library." She said, feeling sorry. "I'm really sorry that you miss your family. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love."
"Yeah... But I have a new family; my best friends." Twilight said.
"That's really nice." Luster said with a smile.
"And I also have a new mom." Twilight said.
"I'm surprised." Luster said. "You know, um... in the other world, I always had trouble making friends... until your future-self helped me."
"Well, like I said, making friends is never a waste of your time." Twilight said. "It just takes a lotta hard work to maintain your friendships."
"But things can be very hard without friends." Luster said. "I guess it is hard for us being in a whole new world, isn't it?"
"You're right." Twilight said. "We have so much to learn about all these new things. But I'm sure we'll get used to it, especially since this is our new home now."
"Uh, can I ask you something?" Luster asked.
"Sure. What is it?" Twilight said.
"Since I've made some friends, I thought that... it would be cool to make even more new friends." Luster said.
"That is great, Luster." Twilight said.
"Yeah, but... I wanna be friends with you, Twilight." Luster said. Twilight feels surprised. "So, will you accept my friendship?"
Twilight gives a warm smile. "You know what, Luster Dawn? I do!" She said happily.
Twilight and Luster hug.
"Whoa, have you made a new friend, Twilight?" Spike asked.
"Just now!" Twilight said. "You guys saw me, right?"
"Can I be friends with you guys, too?" Luster asked.
"Of course you can!" Fluttershy said.
"We sure like makin' some new friends, Sugarcube." Applejack said.
"We can even have so many awesome adventures together!" Rainbow said.
"Ooh! You know what this calls for?" Pinkie said.
"What?" Luster asked.
"A NEW FRIEND PARTY!!!!" Pinkie screams happily.
Everyone laughs.
"Never change, Pinkie." Twilight said.
"Hey! What about us?" Scootaloo asked, as she arrives with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom.
"Scootaloo!" Rainbow said, as she hugs her.
"You can't have a party without the former Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Apple Bloom said.
"I would really love to join my little sister for the party." Sweetie Belle said.
"Oh, Sweetie darling, I would never leave you out." Rarity said, giving Sweetie Belle a kiss on the cheek.
"Don't leave out the great and powerful Trixie, as well!" Trixie said.
"Count me in, too, young Twilight Sparkle!" Starlight said.
"Oh my gosh!" Twilight said, giggling.
"Okay, now everypony's invited!" Luster calls out.
"FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!!!" Everyone said together and they cheer.
"How the Magic of Friendship grows." Future Twilight said.
"Do you think they'll be okay now, Twilight?" Future Rainbow said.
"Oh, I'm sure they will be, as long as they're together, and as long as we take care of them." Future Twilight said.
"So... it's never goodbye, right?" Future Spike said.
"No." Future Twilight said, smiling. "This is just the start of something new."
"Come on, guys!" Twilight calls out. "You're all invited!"
Future Twilight chuckles. "Wait for us, Twilight!" She calls out.
The future Mane Six and Spike run off with Twilight and her friends to the party.
THE END
At the new Silver Shoals, Celestia regains consciousness and gets up.
"Where am I?" Celestia said, as she looks around the place. "Luna? Luna!? Luna, where are you?!"
"Celestia!" Luna said, as she runs to Celestia.
"Oh, my sister!" Celestia said, as she and Luna hug. "Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine." Luna said. "Where are we? What is this place?"
"I have no idea." Celestia said. "I don't even know how we managed to survive the... impact...?" She looks at a sign and reads it. "'Welcome to your retirement home! We hope you enjoy your lovely stay.'"
"What is that?" Luna asked.
"I think we're still in Silver Shoals." Celestia said.
"What? You can't be serious." Luna said, as she and Celestia look at the apartment in shock. "What happened to the apartment?!"
"I don't know, it wasn't like that!" Celestia said. "I think it has been expanded and..."
Luna turns and sees something. She gasps. "Celestia, look!" She said.
Celestia and Luna see some yachts in the distance, where the ponies are having a huge EDM party together, dancing to the music and having fun in the swimming pools.
"We must've been sent into the future, haven't we?" Luna asked.
"What the heck is going on here?" Celestia said.
