After hearing from the Royal Sisters about what happened to Ponyland after she left, Megan had trouble sleeping over at Twilight's castle, and said, "Twilight, I can't sleep after what I was told happened to Ponyland, and after hearing from them it feels as if I'm the one at fault here."
Twilight replied with, "Nobody said it was your fault about what happened to Ponyland, and you were told that the sacrifices those ponies made was for you so that you can still be around today."
"Why do I still feel that it was my fault especially when Grogar returned to exact his revenge on me especially for being considered a thorn in his side ever since I left him trapped in the realm of darkness with almost no way for him get out?" said Megan.
Twilight then said, "It wasn't just you he was after, it was everyone else who foiled him, so you're not alone here."
Megan then answered, "However, I'm the one who is still alive here while they are all dead. Hearing about that has been stuck in my head while giving me a bad dream or even a nightmare. Whenever I try to go near them, they turn to dust and blow away and then I see Grogar showing up with an evil laughter in feeling that he was ready to achieve his victory."
"Princess Luna will soon be going into the dream realm, so I suggest you go back to sleep and let her help you with this." said Twilight.
Megan agreed to go back to sleep and then saw Luna appearing and witnessing what she dreamed.
"I can see that hearing about what happened as given you a repressed memory." said Luna.
Megan said, "First of all, I'm sorry for the scene I made in front of you and Celestia about what I heard and will probably think less of me now, but now I would have felt better not knowing about this."
Luna replied, "It's alright Megan, because neither of us felt less of you because of that. We would have felt the same way if someone we knew died especially due to the fact that we are both alicorns and tend to have a longer lifespan than the other ponies. In other words, pretty much everyone from our early days are long dead as well."
After understanding what Luna mentioned, Megan responded, "Do you know how to make it go away?"
Luna then answered, "Unfortunately, I don't have the power to make such dreams, nightmares, or even memories simply go away."
Hearing that made Megan say, "What do you mean by that?"
Luna continued and stated, "I can only assist the dreamer on this, but it's the dreamer themselves that can make it go away."
"I once heard that you and the other ponies once stopped a dream creature named Tantabus." replied Megan.
"Tantabus was originally from my dreams. For the most part, it was only me who could get rid of it in the end, but I did create a special pocket that allowed them to actually fight even though it was mostly me who could really touch it." said Luna.
"I'm not understanding this." said Megan.
Luna then answered, "In reality, I can't actually touch whatever is anyone's dreams no matter who's dream it is just as they couldn't originally touch the Tantabus due to being from my dream."
After hearing all of that, Megan then asked, "Now that I understand how this works with you, is there a way you can help me get over this repressed memory?"
Luna's then stated, "I feel that there is something more to this than you just witnessing what happened."
Megan replied, "I just felt that if I was no longer needed to help them, they could at least have said good-bye to me rather than just take me back home and leaving me in the dark about this. Now I can't since they are all dead. However, I wasn't trying to offend you with that expression."
"There is a shaman who can help you communicate with them, and you should tell this Twilight and her friends as they would know more about it. As for your expression I wasn't offended by that since I also know what it means when one is left in the dark. After what you mentioned and giving you my advice, I will leave your dream." said Luna.
Morning came and Megan went to Twilight's room and asked, "Do you know about a shaman who can possibly help me talk to the dead?"
Twilight answered, "I do, and her name is Zecora, who happens to have a hut in Everfree Forest."
They all go over to her hut and Twilight introduces Megan to Zecora as the zebra states, "So the rumors are true that Ponyland's savior has returned to Equestria."
"My name is Megan Williams, and I was told by Princess Luna that you can help me talk to the dead." said Megan.
Zecora answered, "I have a special potion that you must take in order to do so."
Megan feeling concerned about it said, "There aren't any dangerous side effects to this?"
Zecora replied, "I made these myself, and I'm certain they won't kill you or turn you into some kind of creature."
Megan the ingested part of the potion and everything around her turned black with the ponies from her time showing up in front of her, and she said, "Firefly, Twilight (G1), Applejack (G1), Glory, Posey, Surprise, I'm glad to see all of you again even if it's been over a thousand years."
The ponies were pleased to see here as some of them had said, "Megan, it's very nice to see you again."
Megan then said to them, "What was the reason you no longer wanted to come to Ponyland to stop Grogar?"
Firefly answered her by saying, "Being that he was more powerful than ever, you most likely wouldn't have stood a chance with him even if you had used the Rainbow of Light."
Megan's response led to her saying, "I could have at least given a fighting chance in stopping him."
Posey answered, "I understand how much you cared for us, and you would even throw yourself into harm's way when needed, but this was a battle where you had to stay out of especially for your sake."
Megan then started saying, "That still doesn't explain why one of you left the Rainbow of Light back at my home without me ever noticing."
Twilight (G1) mentioned, "That was your real task, and the Moochick felt that it was best to be left with you in knowing how much you have been the worthy keeper of it as well as that it will be kept safe with you should something happen to him."
Megan then looked towards Firefly and said, "I still feel that I was only your savior by accident especially since you probably just took me just for getting you out of the well. However, I probably wasn't really the one you were looking for making me feel as if I was really in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Firefly responded with, "Megan, even if that was the case when I got you to help me rescue my friends, that didn't stop you from becoming Ponyland's savior in the end more or less. Despite all of that, you are still a human from Earth."
"I still don't know why you didn't let me come to help stop Grogar." Megan asked them.
Firefly then added, "Megan, you need to look at the bigger picture, because if he managed to kill you, then both Danny and Molly would have had a tough time explaining to your parents about what happened to you. More importantly, I doubt that they will believe them by saying that you got killed in some land that most of your kind doesn't even know about. In the end, we know that you aren't from our world, and a sacrifice will be the last thing we will ever ask you to do despite that fact that you were made the savior of Ponyland."
Megan then started to get suspicious at Firefly and said, "How do you know about Danny and Molly since you never actually met them yourself along with Twilight (G1), Applejack (G1), and Glory let alone fighting Grogar?"
As Firefly replied, "We knew of them through both Posey and Surprise. They told me when we heard about Grogar's return and was said that every pony no matter who they were had to return to help stop him from trying to reach your world after he knew about the Rainbow Bridge even if we had to sacrifice our own lives just to save yours. In other words, think of that as us repaying a debt to all the times you put yourself in the way for us."
Megan then said, "Nevertheless, I never got to say good-bye to any of you, and it felt as if you just left me in the dark since then without me ever knowing if my time in Ponyland was finished."
They all said in unison, "We never had to say good-bye, because in a way we are still here even right now."
Now starting to feel confused, Megan then asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Each of them started to explain to her why that was the case.
Twilight (G1) said, "If not for Twilight Sparkle convincing you to return, you wouldn't be back in what's now Equestria."
Firefly said, "I'm sure you will get the same kind of adventures and excitement with Rainbow Dash as you did with me."
Applejack (G1) said, "You might find the Applejack you see now stronger and understanding than you did with me."
Glory said, "At least Rarity will spend more time with you as that was hardly the case for me due to me being afraid to even leave Dream Castle when you arrived."
Surprise said, "You can have as much fun with Pinkie Pie as you did with me."
Posey said, "Fluttershy might be scared at first, but like me, she enjoys nature as much as I do."
Megan then thought, "How do you all know about this?"
Once again, the ponies said in unison, "That's because our spirits and souls now live inside our very descendants."
Everything went back to normal for Megan, and the Mane 6 wanted to know what happened as Megan said, "I just realized that the ponies I once knew never really left me as they continue to live within each of you, which is why you reminded me of them when I saw you. By the way, you don't have to always see me as Ponyland's savior, but rather as myself who is nothing more than a human girl from Earth who just wound up being here."
Twilight then said, "Don't worry, we will. Also, you shouldn't forget the fact that there are two ponies that still remember you now even though they were just fillies when you first saw them."
"I won't forget that either, and now I should say good-bye to all of you and return home." said Megan.
They all headed back to Ponyville, and Celestia shows up along with Luna and Spike and said, "You are always welcomed to return to Equestria whenever you need to, and we can send for either a pegasus or alicorn to bring you here and back."
Just before getting ready to leave, Photo Finish has them all pose along with a good number of residents in Ponyville come up and take their picture. After it was done the Royal Sisters took the picture back with them to place it in the very book about Megan and thought to themselves whenever they saw it and said, "Welcome back, old friend."
Megan then waved good-bye to all of them, and Twilight flew her back home afterwards.
