Later that evening, Ponyville was buzzing with excitement. Confetti flew round and round. Ribbons fell in other manes. And best of all, the pets were treated with respect and kindness.
"Oh, here, let me open the door for you!"
"Would you like some tea?
"Oh, you're the pet who saved us!"
Russell found it rather annoying, Zoe liked it, Vinnie and Sunil didn't care, Penny Ling and Pepper were sort of nervous whenever someone went up to them, and Minka didn't mind.
Pinkie Pie loaded her canon with pink and blue-frosted cupcakes, and Minka launched them into the air. Rainbow Dash caught a few, and passed some to Vinnie, who now had wings and could fly. Rarity and Zoe would simply levitate them over to themselves whenever some would pass by. Some even and kibble as a topping!
While the rest did fun stuff, Twilight and Russell just read by the moonlight. They talked and talked as they joined the party time to time.
"When I get back home," Russell asked. "Will I ever come back here, Twilight?" She looked curiously at the little brown hedgehog. "I thought you hated this place." She spoke. Russell giggled. "Well, let's say I grew into it. I love this place!"
Twilight smiled as her mind flickered back to the time she went to the pony-human dimension. "I'm certain you'll find your way back!"
Russell smiled back. "I hope."
Blythe grabbed some punch as she met Spike there. "Hey, Spike." She greeted, politely. "Hi." They both sighed. "So... why aren't you with Twilight, 'number-one assistant?'" Blythe asked. Spike's eyes flickered to the blue unicorn. "She said she wanted to have some alone time with Russell." Spike answered. "How about you?" She looked back at him, strangely. "C'mon, y'know, not with the pets and all." Blythe checked the pets. "Oh. Well, they said that they wanted to spend time with their pony." They both sighed again."It is hard being the one left behind." Spike said. Blythe agreed. "Yah, I'm the supervisor. I should be treated with at least some respect." Spike nodded. "Luckily, I'M famous!" He spoke. "I've helped the Crystal Empire 3 times!" Blythe sighed. "Oh,"
