Starlight sat in her cage for a few more minutes before a magical burst of energy gave her back her magic. Soon ponies including her were released from their cages.
Starlight immediately embraced Trixie after they were released from their cages.
“They did it Trixie. They saved Equestria.” Starlight said happily with tears of joy.
Soon it is night time and we see Starlight and Trixie at the festival, they are shooting fireworks making a crowd cheer.
Starlight then saw Twilight with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike, and Tempest and smiled, she knew that Tempest had redeemed herself since Celestia announced that she had helped save Equestria, she was even able to convince Grubber and the other Storm Creatures to turn good.
The crowd began to leave so Starlight took this opportunity to talk to Trixie.
“Hey Trixie, do you think we should go see Twilight and the others?” Starlight asked the show mare.
“You can do that but I am going to go enjoy the festivities.” Trixie told Starlight.
“Okay Trix I’ll come back to you later.” Starlight smiled at her friend before walking over to Twilight and the others.
“Hey guys.” Starlight said happily as she walked over to the gang.
“Starlight!” Spike said gleefully.
Spike immediately embraced Starlight “Oh man I was so worried we’d never see you or anyone else again!”
“Aw, well I’m glad to see you too Spike.” Starlight said a bit touched but also a bit guilty for letting him go through that emotional turmoil.
Spike let go of Starlight as the latter began speaking “Anyway I’m glad everything turned out okay in the end.”
“Me too, my friends and I went through a lot, we even had a fight.” Twilight said solemnly.
“Twilight ended up almost stealing a magical artifact out of desperation and the others well they weren’t taking the quest so seriously.” Spike explained.
“Yeah we probably should’ve been more careful.” Pinkie Pie admitted.
“And I shouldn’t have tried to steal the pearl.” Twilight sighed “Worst part is I said some stuff I didn’t mean.”
“Oh wow that must’ve been rough, sorry you went through all that.” Starlight apologized.
“It’s okay Starlight. It’s not your fault.” Twilight told Starlight.
“Guys, after everything that’s happened I have to say I really missed you.” Starlight said.
“We missed you too Starlight.” Twilight said embracing Starlight soon the rest of Twilight and Starlight’s friends minus Tempest who didn’t want to ruin the moment joined in.
Starlight knew that at the end of the day the magic of friendship would always be there for her no matter how far.
