Twilight and Applejack stared in shock at the two stallions, Asper Wind and Dagger Night were paying the mares no attention. Twilight's horn had already fully reappeared when Asper turned towards them. "Please," he begged even as Dag, he had called his companion that earlier, tried to spear him with his horn from behind. The tan stallion had tears in his eyes as he continued, "Please help him, I need him, I love him." the lavender unicorn didn't know whether it was the talk of love that got to her or the tears present in the other's eyes. But something told her that healing the dark unicorn was the right thing to do.
"I'm right here for you Twi." Applejack murmured into her ear. "And I always will be." with that the lavender unicorn concentrated on the two stallions, and just as it had that fateful night years before when she had first truly become friends with the girls, her magic took over. In a sudden flash of lilac colored light the two mares and stallions were thrown backwards. 
Twilight groggily opened her eyes to find herself wrapped up tightly in Applejack's hooves. The orange earth pony had grabbed her friend when they'd started to go flying. "Applejack, Applejack!" Twilight cried tears begging to form in her eyes. No, oh Celestia please no.
"Ugh, Twi, that you?" Applejack asked as she finally managed to pry her eyes open. The lavender unicorn through her hooves around the other mare's neck pressing their lips together in a glorious and passionate kiss. They pulled apart blushing at the sound of somepony clearing their throat.
"Thank you so much." Asper Wind said as he nuzzled the black unicorn next to him. "I don't know what I'd have done without Dag." he turned towards his stallionfriend, "Well now you know better than to ignore me when I tell you to..." his voice faded as they walked away leaving the two mares alone with themselves and their thoughts.
"Um, Twilight," Applejack said shyly, "There's something I need to tell you."
"What is it AJ?" Twilight asked. The orange earth pony leaned forward until her face was just a breath's length away form the other mares.
"I love you." she whispered before she pressed her lips to Twilight's forehead. "Will you go out with me?" Twilight tried to blink away the happy tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
"Yes, oh Celestia, yes!" she squealed throwing her hooves around her new marefriend's neck.
