Epilogue
It has been six years since that night, since then Echo and Twilight married and had a filly, light blue unicorn with Echo’s eyes and Twilight’s hair. Echo managed to find work at Ponyville hospital and worked his way up to Chief of Medicine and was allowed to use any and all medical techniques at his disposal, thanks to special permission from Princess Celestia. Sky and Fire opened up a bar and inn next to Sugar cube corner and is one of the most popular pubs in Equestria.Turner visited often, he managed to turn the gang into a full sized corporation that supplies Echo with his medical supplies. His mother moved to Ponyville found work in Roseluck’s flower shop, she enjoyed the young mares company. Echo woke up and trotted down stairs to find his daughter was already waiting for him.
“Morning daddy.” she said with a grin on her face.
“Happy fifth birthday Starlight.” he said as he picked her up and hugged her.
“Can you make me a snack please?” she said in a pleading voice and giving him the puppy dog eyes.
“If you do that then you’ll spoil your dinner.” Twilight said as she descended the stair case.
“ugh.” she whined.
“Now don’t use that look on me missy.” Twilight said as she turned away from the two
“We have to stop letting Applebloom babysit her.” Echo said as he put the filly down. “C’mon we’er going to go visit uncle Sky.”
“Will Pyro be there?” she asked with a massive grin on her face. Echo threw a smile at Twilight.
“Only one way to find out.”
“Well then let’s go!” she yelled.
“Okay, hang on.” Twilight said as she joined her family. The three made their way to the inn through the quite streets’ of Ponyville. They opened the doors to the pub and the party started. Echo trotted over to his old friends by the bar, Turner was there wearing a newly pressed suit.
“Turner what is with the bow tie?”
“Bow ties are cool, plus I just came from work.” he then shook Echo’s hoof. “By the way, the ponies of Detrot are erecting a statue in your honor next week, and you’re going going to be there to cut the ribbon.”
“What?”
“You can’t stop the public from doing what they want.”
“Can you get me out of it?”
“Nope sorry, plus the guys really miss you back in Detrot.” Echo let out a sigh.
“Fine I’ll go.”
“Alright you two enough chatting it’s time for Stalight to open her gifts.” Twilight said with a grin. The ponies turned their heads to watch the small filly open her gifts, they were mostly toys and clothes which she adored. Echo glanced over to Sky who was pushing his colt forward to the filly. Pyro was a bright red pegasus colt with a blue mane, his red was failing to hide his blush, he was about a year older than Starlight who also had a bright blush on her face. He handed her a small wrapped box, she opened it to reveal a necklace with a small sapphire carved in the shape of a heart in the center.
“I...I saw it the last time I visited Canterlot.....do you like it?” the small filly wrapped her hooves around the colt and planted a small kiss on his lips. Pyro then proceeded to faint, while Starlight giggled with glee. Echo and the others started to laugh.
“Ha like father like son I guess.” Sky said with a chuckle. Fire then slugged him in the arm.
“Yeah considering on our first date I made the first move, I guess all the stallions in the family do that.” she said with a grin. Starlight was over talking and giggling with her friends over what just happened. Twilight trotted next to Echo and took his hoof in hers. Echo looked around the room at all the ponies in his life, his friends, his beautiful wife and daughter. Never did he believe that he would end up this happy. As he looked up at the ceiling he knew that Star was watching him and that she was happy. He had something he never knew the feeling of, a family.
