Shortly after the results had been released, Amethyst was down in the crowd mingling alongside Sea Swirl. Princess Celestia remained up on the stage so that Amethyst could interact with her supporters with fewer distractions. When Sunny Flames saw that it was just Amethyst and Sea Swirl in the crowd together, she wanted to go and finally congratulate her over her victories.
While Amethyst was having a casual discussion with a griffon, she felt herself in the grasp of someone. She wrestled out of the hold and discovered that it was Sunny Flames. Sunny again embraced her and exclaimed, "I knew you could do it Amethyst, I knew you could do it!"
Amethyst wasn't overly thrilled by Sunny embracing her but one would be less than thrilled, Sea Swirl. Sea Swirl gave her a glare, "Sunny Flames, keep your hooves off of my wife!"
Sunny quickly released the embrace and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm just so happy that she won!" She then turned to Amethyst, "Like I said, I knew you could do it! I knew that no matter who you faced off against, you'd crush them!"
"Thanks," Amethyst replied "well my competition this time around wasn't exactly all that threatening. They all pretty much shot themselves in the hoof one way or another."
Sea Swirl added, "And now that even Princess Twilight couldn't win it for the traditionalists, maybe they'll finally realize it is time to either move forward or shut up and let the rest of us go about our business."
Amethyst laughed, "Traditionalists move forward? That's a good one honey, that's a good one!"
Sunny then wanted to find out about what Amethyst's plans were. "So now that you've won a third term, what are your plans?"
Amethyst replied, "Well I am planning on discussing perhaps opening a museum here, assuming we can secure the proper funding. I will donate some towards it and I'm certain the donors of the Ponyville Department of Tourism and Economic Development would be willing to donate." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Given that this will be an Equestrian history museum, I'm sure that we could get Princess Celestia to donate as well."
Sea Swirl snickered, "You have Princess Celestia in your saddle bags Amethyst so I know if you want Ponyville to have a museum, it will have a museum!"
Sunny then decided to discuss future elections, "Amethyst, if this is indeed the end of traditionalists trying to take the city back, what kind of opponents do you think you'll face in the future?"
Amethyst replied, "My future opponents will likely be a fair amount like me, maybe just have a couple differences and I do know one thing though, I'm not going to count on winning over 97% of the vote next time. My next opponent will likely be just as sharp as me and think with their head like me."
Sea Swirl, while she had become big into politics, wanted to end the discussion. She suggested, "Amethyst, you just won big and we have had politics on our minds all year long. How about we go and get something to eat?"
Amethyst replied, "That sounds like a great plan to me." She then turned to Sunny and added, "And just think, likely in 2026 you won't have to travel anymore UNLESS they start sending you elsewhere!"
Sunny laughed, "The network knows well enough that I'm an expert on Ponyville elections and I doubt I'll get sent elsewhere."
The three shared a laugh and then headed to get some food. As they were doing so, Amethyst felt a pure sense of satisfaction. She felt that since even Princess Twilight couldn't even come close to bringing back the old traditions, that the goals she had set forth in 2016 had been accomplished. She felt that Ponyville would continue to grow and ultimately become not only the top tourist destination in Equestria but also felt that Ponyville would eventually supplant Manehattan as the financial capitol.
