Descendants: The Isle of the Wicked

by Crystal Aura


Set It Off!

As the church bells tolled, the camera panned over the excited faces of Equestria's citizens who were waving their flags in anticipation of the new King's arrival. Children could be heard cheering and adults could be seen smiling as they waited for the coronation to begin.

Meanwhile, at their home, the four notorious villains sat in front of their TV, which was streaming the event live. They had a bowl of popcorn on the table and were completely engrossed in the coverage.

Cadence's voice filled the room as she announced, "At last, here we are, broadcasting live from the coronation where Prince Flash Sentry will soon be crowned King! I’m Cadence, bringing you up-to-the-second coverage of who’s the fairest of them all!”

Chrysalis couldn't help but scoff and threw a handful of popcorn at the screen. "‘I’m Cadence.’ Who are you kidding? She’s definitely had work done," she commented, causing Nightmare Moon to look at her in surprise.

The Church's interior was elegantly decorated with classical music playing in the background as people mingled around a dais with two chairs and a covered object. Sunset twirled in her dress, showing off to Trender, while others chatted excitedly about the upcoming coronation. Meanwhile, Apple Bloom walked aimlessly through the crowd, unnoticed by anyone.

As the Fairy Godmother approached the dais, a few royal guards followed closely behind. Cadence couldn't help but giggle and comment on Apple Bloom's messy hair, which drew a few chuckles from those nearby. With a flourish, Pear Butter unveiled the glass jar containing the wand, causing Nightmare Moon to immediately fixate on it.

"Oh, Fairy Godmother is looking radiant.” Cadence remarked before continuing, “And there is Fairy Godmother’s wand.”

"I want that wand!" Nightmare Moon declared, her eyes locked on the TV.

Gaia retorted, "Do you? I hadn't heard," causing Nightmare Moon to shoot her a sharp glare.

Cadence announced, “Oh, and here comes Flash now!”

The crowd erupted in cheers as Flash and Twilight appeared in a carriage pulled by two beautiful horses. Flash waved to the crowd, while Twilight also smiled before looking down at a box she held. Flash noticed her nervousness and reassured her with a smile and a comforting touch.

“Don’t be nervous.” Flash smiled. “All you have to do is sit there and look beautiful. No problem there.”

Twilight smiled back at him. “Thank you.”

"Twilight, will you wear my ring?" As Flash asked Twilight the question, he paused for a moment, his eyes reflecting a mixture of hope and uncertainty.

Twilight, on the other hand, felt her heart skip a beat and her mind race with all the possible outcomes of her response. She pulled her hand away from his, her eyes downcast, as she struggled to find the right words, "Not now… I think it would probably just fall right off of me. I have something for you though."

"For me?"

"Yeah! It’s just for later, you know, when you need strength." Flash opened the box, revealing a cookie. "Some carbs to keep up your energy."

"Always thinking. But I can’t wait!" Flash took a bite of the cookie immediately, before Twilight could protest.

"Mm, mm! This is really good," Flash said while munching on the cookie.

Twilight's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, her eyes searching for the right words to say, "Uh, do you feel okay?"

"You bet."

“Would you still say that you’re still in… that…” Flash ate the rest of the cookie. “That you have very strong feelings for me?”

"I'm not sure. Let's give the anti-love potion a few minutes to take effect," Flash replied, keeping the box aside.

"Okay," Twilight nervously nodded, then looked back at Flash's face and asked, "What?!"

Flash's shoulders shook as a burst of laughter erupted from his lips, his hand reaching up to cover his mouth.

"What? You knew?"

"That you spelled me? Yeah. Yeah, I knew."

"I can explain myself!" Twilight exclaimed.

"No… look, look it’s fine. I mean, you had a crush on me. I was with Sunset. You didn’t trust that it could happen on its own." Flash shrugged. "Am I right?"

“Yes…” Twilight managed an awkward laugh. “Haha! You’re so right.” She looked down at her hands before continuing, “So, then, how long have you known?”

“Since our first date. The enchanted lake washed away your spell,” Flash replied.

“So then what? You’ve just been… faking it since then?”

Flash slipped his ring into Twilight’s finger and kissed her hand, melting her doubts and worries away, even if it was just for the moment, “I haven’t been faking anything.”

Twilight looked deeply into his eyes, feeling a warmth spreading throughout her body as she realized that he truly cared for her. She couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she smiled at Flash, her heart filled with joy and happiness.

The sound of bells echoed through the streets as guards played a fanfare, announcing the arrival of Flash and Twilight to the grand Church. Flash climbed out of the carriage and extended a hand to help Twilight down. As she stepped out, her eyes widened in awe at the magnificent building.

Meanwhile, on the Isle, Chrysalis gasped at the sight of Twilight with Flash. "Well, if it isn't--"

"My daughter… Looking like some kind of…"

Cadence exclaimed, "Princess! Let's see who designed her gown. Rarity--"

Chrysalis jumped from her seat, "Rarity! That's my daughter!"

“Oh, wow. She sewed a dress.” Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes, "Meanwhile, my girl duped a prince and she's this close to grabbing the magic wand."

"Bitter party of one!" Chrysalis exclaimed, but was inwardly beaming with pride too.

“It’s happening, people! It’s happening!” Nightmare Moon ran around in a frenzy, “I say, gird your loins. Gird your loins! Villains, our revenge begins today!”

As Twilight and Flash ascended the grand staircase, the sound of the guards playing a fanfare echoed through the streets, and the crowd erupted into cheers. The villains on the Isle cackled with glee, reveling in their plan coming to fruition. At the top of the stairs, King Discord and Queen Celestia stood, waiting to greet their son and his girlfriend. Twilight bowed respectfully to Celestia, who gave her a warm nod in response.

Turning to Discord, Twilight began, “About the other day, I just--”

“I told Flash this wasn’t going to be easy,” Discord interjected with a chuckle.

Flash looked up at his father with a determined expression. “You also taught me that a King has to believe in himself. Even when it isn’t easy.”

Discord raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Did I? How very wise of me,” he said with a smirk.

Celestia took hold of her son’s hands and gave a small sigh. “Flash, we are very proud of you. Keep listening to your heart,” she said, her eyes shining with love and pride.

Flash beamed at his mother. “Thanks, mom.”

Discord placed a hand on his son’s shoulder, his eyes filled with pride. “You're going to make a fine King.” He then offered his hand to Celestia, who accepted it with a smile and nod to Twilight and Flash before following her husband.

Flash moved closer to Twilight and held her hand, saying, "Wish me luck."

The chauffeur cleared his throat loudly behind Twilight, causing her to turn around and face him. He extended his hand towards the side of the church, indicating that it was time for her to make her way inside. Twilight smiled and gave a small laugh, acknowledging his gesture before taking a few steps towards him.

"Good luck," Twilight said softly to Flash, squeezing his hand gently before letting go and disappearing inside the church. Flash took a deep breath and stood alone for a moment, gathering his thoughts and summoning his courage before stepping through the entrance to face his destiny.

The voices of the choir filled the grand Church, echoing off the walls and adding to the grandeur of the moment. The guests, including the villain kids, stood at the gallery, watching with anticipation.

Soarin's eyes darted to Rarity, who was looking over at Braeburn, holding onto Winona. He could sense the tension between them, equally feeling it.

The Church gates opened, and Flash appeared, his steps slow and measured. As he passed the guests, they bowed to him, showing respect for their future King. Discord and Celestia, seated on the dais, stood up to welcome their son.

Flash finally reached Twilight, and she bowed at him, a smile on her face. He returned the smile before continuing his journey to the dais. However, despite her smile, Twilight's expression turned to one of concern as she watched him walk away.

Nightmare Moon mumbled under her breath, "Don't blow it, kiddo." Her eyes were fixed on Twilight.

Pear Butter approached the dais again, and the guests stood up to greet her. Discord and Celestia rose from their seats as well, and Pear hugged Celestia before bowing to Discord and lifting the crown which rested upon his head. She then approached Flash, and he knelt before her. Twilight watched the scene unfold, her eyes fixed on the glass jar that held the wand.

As Pear placed the crown on Flash's head, he looked up at his father with a beaming smile. Discord smiled back at him, proud of his son. Meanwhile, Celestia took the wand from its stand and handed it over to Pear.

Twilight exchanged anxious glances with her friends at the gallery, and Nightmare Moon watched closely as the events unfolded.

Pear asked, “Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Equestria with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?”

“I do solemnly swear,” Flash replied with conviction.

Twilight felt a strong urge to grab the wand from Pear's hands, but something held her back. She couldn't put her finger on it, but a deep feeling told her not to do so.

“Then it is my honor and joy,” Pear said with a smile, tapping her wand on Flash’s shoulders. “to bless our new king--”

Suddenly, everyone gasped as the wand was snatched away at the last moment.

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Nightmare Moon exclaimed in joy.

The wand crackled before its magic traveled across the land to the Isle, causing thunder and breaking the barrier that kept the villains at bay.

At the Isle, the thunder caused an earthquake that Nightmare Moon took advantage of to run.

“The barrier is broken! We’re free!” Chrysalis exclaimed amidst the shaking.

Nightmare Moon opened the balcony and commanded, “Sceptre, now!” after which her sceptre obediently followed her command. She cackled, basking in the power she had lost long ago, and teleported to the Church.

At the Church, everyone gasped and backed away from the wand wielder.

“Child, what are you doing!?” Pear screamed as she approached the wielder.

“If you won’t make me beautiful, I’ll do it myself!” Apple Bloom exclaimed while trying to control the all-powerful wand. “Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo!” The magic emanating from the wand was so strong that it caused people to shield themselves from the power.

“Take cover!” Discord exclaimed.

People cried out in fear before Twilight, with a determined look on her face, stepped forward, reaching out to grab the wand from Apple Bloom. The two struggled for control of the wand, their faces contorted in a fierce battle of wills

“Careful, Twilight!” Celestia called out.

After what seemed like an eternity, Twilight managed to wrestle the wand away from Apple Bloom, causing it to stop crackling and sparking in her hands. She breathed heavily, sweat dripping down her forehead, as people slowly backed up more than before. Rarity, Soarin, and Braeburn rushed down from the gallery, concern etched on their faces

Flash stood in front of Twilight, his hand outstretched. "Twilight, give me the wand."

“Stand back…” Twilight's hands trembled as she clutched the wand, her eyes wide with fear.

Twilight’s friends joined her, violently opening the Church doors and running.

“It’s okay…” Flash said, taking a step closer to her.

“Flash, I said STAND BACK!” Twilight shouted, pointing the wand at him with both hands.

Sunset stepped forward, her expression angry. "I told you so!" she said, her eyes locked on Twilight.

Twilight turned the wand on Sunset, causing her to take a quick step back. She turned back to Flash, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Let’s go!” Braeburn said, his voice filled with determination.

“It’s time for revenge,” Soarin added, clenching his fists.

“You really want to do this?” Flash asked Twilight, his voice gentle.

Twilight looked up at him, her eyes searching his face, “We have no choice, Flash!” she exclaimed, “Our parents--”

“Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours.”

Twilight looked at Flash, then at his parents and Fairy Godmother, speechless, “I think I want to be good,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“You are good.” Flash said firmly, his eyes never leaving hers.

“How do you know that!?”

“Because… Because I’m listening to my heart.”

Twilight again looked down with unshed tears. “I want to listen to my heart too,” Flash looked at her with a small smile. “And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents.” She turned around to look at her friends, who looked at her with uncertain glances. “I mean, stealing things doesn’t make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza make you happy.”

Soarin grinned at her, nodding his head in agreement.

"And you, scratching Winona's belly makes you happy, who would've thought?" Twilight laughs a little, and Braeburn gives her a small smile.

"And Rarity, you don't have to play dumb to get a guy. You're smart and beautiful just the way you are," Twilight said, her eyes meeting Rarity's.

Rarity smiled at her, her cheeks turning a faint shade of pink. "Thank you, darling," she said.

Pear looks at the kids with a smile before Twilight sighs and continues, "And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school and be with Flash."

Flash perks up upon hearing the last sentence. "Because Flash makes me really happy," Twilight says, holding up the hand with his ring on.

Twilight sniffs a bit, a tear rolling down her cheek, "Being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things..." She holds her fist in front of them. "I choose good, you guys."

Soarin bumped his fist with hers. "I choose good, too," he said.

Rarity joined in, bumping her fist against Twilight's. "I choose good," she said.

"Now, just to be clear, we don't have to worry about how really mad our parents will be, right?" Braeburn asked, and they all chuckle to themselves. "Because they're going to be really, really mad."

"Your parents can't reach you here," Flash smiled, walking to them.

"Okay then. Good." Braeburn bumped Twilight's fist too, and she let out a relieved laugh, turning around to Flash. "Come on..."

Flash hesitantly approached the gang and fist bumps too, earning applause from all the guests. She leans on Flash's arm, and seeing that, Celestia does the same on Discord's arm.

An explosion had shattered the peaceful moment, and the guests were screaming in terror. Twilight tightened her grip on the wand, her palms sweating as she faced Nightmare Moon's sinister grin.

Nightmare Moon appeared to have teleported right below the dais, separating the gang from Pear, "I'm baaaaaack!" she announced with a theatrical flourish.

"It can't be..." Twilight gasped, her eyes widening in horror.

Celestia clung onto her son, equally frightened.

Twilight stepped forward, brandishing the wand. "Leave, mother," she said, tired of all these antics.

Nightmare Moon laughed, "She's funny!" She snorted before saying, "Oh, I'm sorry... you're very funny! Here, wand me. Hurry up!"

"No!" Flash shouted. Twilight immediately tossed the wand to Pear

"Bibbidi, bobbidi--"

"Boo." Nightmare Moon taunted Pear, then lifted her sceptre, freezing everyone except the villain descendants. "Sike." She continued to laugh and snort.

She approached the frozen former king and said, "Oh!" before removing his glasses. "Ooh, in another time, in another time." She lazily placed them on his head.

She hummed as she walked up the dais to the fairy. "Ow! Oh. Oh, no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs." Twilight and her friends looked at her mother in disgust as she took the wand from the fairy's hand and poked it into the fairy's nostril.

She looked at the kids, "Hmm, where shall we begin? I know! Why don’t we start by getting rid of this?" She used her powers to attract the ring on Twilight’s finger, which slipped from her finger to the wand, stopping a few inches from the handle. "Perfect fit!"

Twilight gasped, looking at her hand. Nightmare Moon chuckled, moving away from Pear's extended arm. "Oh, excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me. The horn, the horn!" She moved to Flash, turned his head, pushed his crown back, and turned his head back to the same spot. "Aw… falling in love is weak… and ridiculous. It's not what you want." She pointed at her daughter.

"You don't know what I want! Mom, have you ever once asked me what I want? I'm not you…"

"Oh, obviously. I've had years and years and years and… years of practice being evil. You'll get there."

"No, I WILL not! And I really wish that you had never become evil yourself." Twilight sniffled, before continuing, "Love is NOT weak or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing."

"I know one thing, young lady. You have NO ROOM for love in your life!"

Twilight gritted her teeth and said, "And now, I command, wand to my hand!" Nightmare Moon struggled before the wand slipped off and reached Twilight’s hand. "Ha-- It... It worked!"

"I hardly think so! Frankly, this is tedious and very immature. Give me the wand, give me the wand!" Nightmare Moon said, walking frantically.

“Hold on, Twilight. Maybe good really is more powerful than evil.” Braeburn piped in.

“Ohohoho, please! You’re killing me! Arf!” Nightmare Moon summoned Winona, who climbed her and barked. “Oh! Oh, the breath! The breath! Get off me!”

The dog got down as Soarin grunted and took hold of her sceptre, which glowed but didn’t budge. She smirked and looked him in the eye, caressing his shoulder, “Blueblood should be jealous.” She poked his forehead which sent him tumbling on the ground.

Nightmare Moon cackled, “Enough! You all will regret this!” As Nightmare Moon transformed into her ultimate form, the air around her crackled with dark energy. Her body expanded, her wingspan stretching out and her horn growing longer and sharper. Her eyes narrowed to slits, and her canines grew longer, giving her a ferocious and menacing appearance. The ground shook with each step she took, and her roar echoed through the church, causing the chandeliers to rattle.

The beams of dark magic that shot from her horn were like black lightning bolts, striking the ground and causing explosions that sent debris flying everywhere. Soarin scrambled and dodged the blasts, his heart pounding in his chest. He ran as fast as he could, but the alicorn was faster and more powerful.

“Come on, Soarin, run!” Braeburn's voice echoed through the air, urgent and panicked.

Soarin's muscles strained as he sprinted up the steps to the dais, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. Nightmare Moon soared above them, her dark silhouette cutting through dusk.

“Hurry, Soarin. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Soarin, watch it!” Twilight's voice rang out, high and urgent.

Just as Nightmare Moon was about to seize Soarin with her powerful hooves, Rarity sprang into action. She whipped out her mirror, and with a fierce determination in her eyes, aimed it at the alicorn, “Magic mirror, show your brightest light!”

The mirror shone with a brilliant light that illuminated the entire area, blinding the flying creature and causing her to plummet to the ground with a deafening crash.

“Behind me, Rare!” Twilight said, as she stood in front of Rarity, shielding her from Nightmare Moon's wrath, “Leave my friends alone!”

The alicorn let out a guttural roar, her eyes flashing with anger, “This is between you and me, mother.”

“The strength of evil is good as none, when stands before four hearts as one.” Twilight's eyes blazed with determination as she began to chant, the words tumbling from her lips in a rhythmic cadence. Her eyes glowed with an intense blue light, and Nightmare Moon's eyes mirrored the same hue, as they stared each other down, locked in a fierce battle of wills.

The tension in the air was palpable as the two powerful beings faced off, neither willing to back down. Suddenly, the alicorn let out a screech, and wisps of smoke began to swirl around her, confusing Twilight and her friends. Fairy Godmother looked on, bewildered, as she unfroze and watched the events unfold before her.

As Twilight approached the dais, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a small lizard with a tiny horn and wings.

Braeburn's confusion was evident in his voice as he asked, "What just happened?"

"I have no idea," Twilight replied, still staring at the little creature.

Rarity, who had been the one to use the mirror on Nightmare Moon, looked at Twilight with hopeful anticipation. "Did you do it?"

Twilight shook her head. "I don't know."

Suddenly, Pear Butter appeared, descending the dais towards the group. "Your mother did. She shrank to the size of the love in her heart. That's why it's so... itty-bitty."

Concern etched on her face, Twilight bent down to get a closer look at the lizard. "Is she going to be like that forever?"

"Well, forever is a long time," Pear replied, smiling at Twilight. "You learned to love. So can she."

Twilight's worry gave way to a small chuckle, and she turned to the fairy, holding out the wand. "I believe this belongs to you."

Pear took the wand from Twilight with a grateful smile, then reached down to pick up the ring that Flash had given to Twilight. "And I believe this... belongs to you."

Twilight smiled as she slipped the ring back onto her finger, feeling a warm sense of contentment wash over her.

Pear straightened up and addressed the group. "You all have earned yourselves an 'A' in goodness class."

The gang of four erupted in laughter as Pear's wand shimmered with magical energy. She raised it high and with a flourish, exclaimed, "Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo!" Suddenly, the frozen characters came to life, and Flash bounded towards Twilight with a loud roar. Celestia, still bewildered, hurriedly ran over to Discord and began to fix his glasses.

Trying to calm the excited prince, Twilight gently placed a hand on his shoulder and spoke softly, "It's alright, Flash. We've got everything under control now."

Flash blinked for a few moments, his expression slowly changing from one of concern to one of amusement. He scooped up Twilight into his arms, chuckling as he twirled around and said, "Next time, I'll be the one rescuing you, alright?"

Twilight laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck, replying, "Sounds good to me. But let's try to avoid any more dangerous situations, okay?" She playfully turned his crown askew, eliciting another laugh from Flash.

As Twilight began to walk away, she glanced back at Flash and said, "I'll be back in just a moment, alright?"

Pear Butter furrowed her brow and crossed her arms, her eyes fixed on her daughter. "I love you," she said firmly, "But you are on a major time-out." Her tone left no room for argument as she continued to glare at Apple Bloom.

“Don’t be too hard on Apple Bloom. I was the one who put all that crazy stuff in her head.” Twilight popped in, admitting. “You… are beautiful… inside and out.” Twilight chuckled before continuing, “Your mom got that right.”

“I guess I did get pretty lucky in the mother department…” Apple Bloom grinned, feeling a sense of relief and gratitude towards her mother.

“Yeah, I guess so.”

Pear softened slightly at the compliment, but quickly regained her composure before turning back to Apple Bloom with stern eyes and motioning her to move along.

Twilight approached Sunset with a smile, her eyes locked on hers. Sunset returned the gesture with a small smile of her own. Twilight then took a step back and curtsied to Sunset, in an attempt to establish friendly relations. Sunset reciprocated the gesture, showing her appreciation for Twilight.

“Hey!” Twilight called out, looking back at the lizard being covered by the glass jar. “Careful! That’s my mom.”

Twilight let out a relieved laugh as she looked back at the glass jar covering her shrunken mother. Rarity, standing next to her, chuckled in agreement. They then joined their friends and Flash, who had gathered in a tight group hug. Twilight wrapped her arms around Flash and her friends, feeling grateful for their support and glad that the day had ended on a positive note.

Soarin pumped his fist into the air, his enthusiasm contagious as he shouted, "Well, let's get this party started!"

“Ole, ole, hey!”

On the Isle, Gaia, Chrysalis, and Sombra walked towards the balcony, their eyes drawn to the colorful fireworks illuminating the night sky above the distant lands of Equestria. Chrysalis couldn't help but smile at the sight.

Back in Equestria, the people twirled and swayed, lost in the joyous celebration of the day's events. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the air, as friends and strangers alike came together to revel in the moment.

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Let’s set it off!
Oh, yeah!
You can make it happen
Ole, ole, hey!

Twilight and her friends were caught up in the lively music, swaying and moving to the rhythm. Twilight felt the warm lights on her skin and the stage under her feet as she danced with her best friends. As the music reached its climax, Flash was lifted onto the shoulders of the boys and paraded around the dance floor. The girls cheered and clapped, joining in the fun. Finally, the boys set Flash down on a stage, and everyone continued dancing, laughing, and celebrating under the night sky.

Kings and Queens, it’s our time to rise!
Write the book, the story of our lives.
This is us, taking back the night!
Ole, ole

As Flash stood on the stage, he turned his head to the right and caught a glimpse of Twilight in the distance. She was gracefully swaying to the music, moving closer and closer to him with every step. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her, feeling his heart race with anticipation. As she finally reached him, he took her hand and pulled her onto the stage with him, spinning her around as they began to dance together.

Break the spell, we were born this way.
Be yourself, forget the DNA!
Ole, ole, hey!

Rarity sashayed across the dance floor, her movements graceful and elegant as if she was walking on a runway. Spike watched her with admiration and anticipation, waiting for her at the other end. When she finally reached him, he took her hand and twirled her around, matching her rhythm perfectly. The two danced together, lost in the moment as they moved to the beat of the music. Their chemistry was undeniable, and everyone around them could see the love and affection they shared.

Sound the alarm, get on your feet
Let’s set it off, and rock this beat!
Dance till your heart is wild and free!
Ooh, oh, oh!

Feelin’ the power, let it all out
Like what you see in the mirror, shout!
We got the keys, the kingdom’s ours
Ooh, oh oh!
Ole, ole, hey!

Twilight and Flash make room for Rarity and Spike to join them on the dance floor. The four of them dance together, moving to the rhythm of the music and laughing as they enjoy each other's company. Spike twirls Rarity around, making her laugh, while Flash and Twilight sway together, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The group continues to dance the night away, surrounded by their friends and the festive atmosphere.

Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
Start a chain reaction, never let it stop!
Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
You can make it happen, with everything you’ve got!

Let’s set it off, come on!
On the right, 
Get ready, set it off!
To the left,
Ole, ole, hey!

Apple Bloom sat on the bench, feeling downcast as she watched everyone dancing and having a good time. As she sat there lost in thought, she suddenly felt two pairs of hands being extended towards her. She looked up and saw that it was Braeburn and Soarin, who had come to join her on the bench.

Apple Bloom was surprised by their kind gesture but smiled and accepted their hands. The three of them made their way to the dance floor, and Apple Bloom was soon caught up in the music and the lively atmosphere.

Yo, it’s time to set this thing off
Let’s make it happen now
I’ma make my own future, ignore all the rumors
Show ‘em how passion sound!

As Sunset dances towards Soarin, she extends her hand towards him with a smile. Soarin grins and takes her hand, standing up from the edge of the stage. They start to dance together, their movements matching the beat of the music. Sunset spins and twirls around Soarin, her dress flowing around her. Soarin lifts her up in a dip, causing Sunset to laugh and throw her head back. The two of them continue to dance, lost in the moment.

They all told me I should back down
Judgin’ me ‘cause of my background
Thinkin’ ‘bout changin’ my path now
Nah, I ain’t goin’ out like that now!

The group of eight continued to dance together, laughing and having a great time. They moved in sync to the music, with each one adding their unique style and moves to the dance. Sunset spun around with Soarin as Braeburn lifted Apple Bloom up in the air, making her giggle. Twilight and Flash twirled together, while Rarity and Spike danced in close proximity, lost in their own world.

The crowd around them cheered and clapped as the group of friends danced on the stage. The fireworks continued to light up the sky, adding to the festive atmosphere. For that moment, they forgot about their worries and problems and just enjoyed the company of their friends, lost in the joy of the celebration.

Feelin’ the power, let it all out
Like what you see in the mirror, shout!
We got the keys, the kingdom’s ours
Ooh, oh, oh!
Oh yeah!

Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
Start a chain reaction, never let it stop!
Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
You can make it happen, with everything you’ve got!
Let’s set it off!

We got to set it off!
That’s right, get ready, set it off!
We got to set it off!
Get ready, set it off!
We got to set it off!
Get ready, set it off!

As Flash leaned in for a kiss, Twilight's heart started racing, and her cheeks turned a bright shade of red. She quickly turned her face away and giggled nervously before running towards the balcony. Flash, not wanting to let her go, chased after her, laughing as he followed her up the stairs.

Ooh, yeah!
Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
Start a chain reaction, never let it stop!
Let’s set it off, oh yeah!
You can make it happen, with everything you’ve got!
Let’s set it off!

Flash caught Twilight's arm as she tried to run away, spinning her around and pulling her closer. She blushed and giggled as he leaned in for a kiss, their lips meeting in a sweet embrace.

From below, the group of friends and family bowed in respect as the new couple sealed their love with a kiss. The music crescendoed, and everyone cheered and clapped, happy to see Twilight and Flash finally together.

Get ready, set it off!
Come on, we got to set it off!
To the left
Get ready, set it off!
To the right
We got to set it off!

Suddenly, a loud boom echoes through the night sky, startling everyone. Twilight and Flash pull away from each other, looking up in surprise. Another explosion follows, and then another, until a dazzling array of colors lights up the sky.

As the fireworks continue, Twilight and Flash hold hands and watch in awe. The rest of their friends gather around them, smiling and laughing in delight. It was a beautiful end to a perfect day.

Before we actually forget… You didn’t think this was the end of the story, did you?
