//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Enchanted to Know You // by Teal //------------------------------// Once in a while, after a tough day at Day Court, there was nothing more Celestia wanted to do than relax. To forget work and stress and replace them with a soothing and enjoyable sensation, that was what she yearned for the most during those headache inducing times. In days where she encounters a peskier than usual noble, or days where she goes through trade deals that take hours upon hours of boring negotiations, a moment of relaxation is all she wanted in order to clear her mind and prepare herself for the next day. On days like that, when she badly needed to vent out the stress and calm her mind, her marefriend was always there, ready to take her out on a date.  Entering her personal chambers, Celestia was happy to see Twilight sitting by the balcony, calmly reading a book as she waited for her. Moving towards the lavender alicorn, Celestia wasted no time sitting next to her, before burying her chin atop the smaller pony. “Another tough day in court?” Twilight gently asked, as she gently brought her book down. “Ugh, you have no idea.” The white alicorn said with a sigh. “Can’t I just have you replace me as Senior Princess?” “Thanks for the offer, but no thanks!” Twilight replied with a giggle. “Managing Equestria is your duty, while friendship problems are mine.” “Please…” Celestia begged. “No can do, my Scaredy Chicken.” Twilight said, with a firm shake of the head. “Ugh, fine.” The Solar Princess sighed, defeated.  “Aw, don’t be so sad now.” The lavender alicorn said, as she moved to remove herself from under the older alicorn and face her instead. “How about we go out on a date tonight, so you can forget about this bad day?” Hearing this, Celestia’s ears perked up, as she looked at her marefriend excitedly. “Oh, that sounds lovely! Where do you want to go tonight? A bar perhaps?” Twilight smiled, but shook her head. “So you can take up a disguise again and seduce me? No way!” Celestia raised an eyebrow at this and gave her a sly look. “Yea? Well, last time I checked, it was you who asked me out.” Twilight playfully slapped the white alicorn for that remark, as she giggled. “It’s not my fault you chose such a cute disguise. Although, I do prefer seeing you now than that.” This made Celestia smile, as she leaned down to kiss her marefriend. Not missing a beat, Twilight returned the kiss. “I love you, Pancake.” Celestia said after the kiss. “I love you too, Scaredy Chicken.” Twilight replied, before giving her a big grin. “Now, how about we go to Hay Burger?” “Hay Burger again?” The white alicorn asked, giving her a questioning look. “It is a special place after all.” Twilight said, as she got up and allowed her wings to spread. “Now come on, the last one there has to buy dessert!” With that the lavender alicorn jumped up and flew away from the balcony. Savoring the moment, Celestia watched as the pony she loved raced towards the restaurant they frequented over these past months. As she did, she couldn’t help but remember the first time they went there together. This made her smile widely as she got up. “Yes…yes it is.” With that, Celestia hopped and flew to catch up with her marefriend. As they soared through the sky, those in the city below couldn’t help but hear the sounds of giggling from the two alicorns, as they tangled and enjoyed each other’s company up in the night sky. Although their relationship started with a lie, the two of them knew that it led to something beautiful that completed them.
