//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Who Is Twilight Sparkle? // by Running From Time //------------------------------// "...alright..." Huh? Did I just...? I can hear things.... "I'm sure... alright..." That voice sounded a little like... "Of course she'll be fine, Fluttershy. The doctor said she's fine." But... how can I hear them here? "I think I just saw her twitch!" Am I alive? My eyelids flickered, and for a second I saw bright light. "She just blinked!" I finally opened my eyes, adjusting to the light. I sat up a little, and looked at my surroundings. I was in a hospital room, which had five ponies and a dragon inside: my friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Spike. I... I'm not dead! It must have been just a dream. "Twilight!" "You're awake!" "Oh, Twilight!" "Everyone!, Oh, I'm so glad I'm here with you!" I gleefully spoke. A lump formed in my throat. It was only a dream! It was just an injury-induced dream! Oh, I'm so happy! It was just a dream! "Oh, I had such a terrible dream! It was about how I thought I discovered something, but it was actually secretly a curse, and it drove me mad, and I was so terrible to you guys, and in the end I committed suicide, but it was all just a dream! Oh, I'm so glad!" Tears streamed down my face. Everyone's face slowly switched from happiness to something like... guilt? "Guys? What... what's wrong?" Fluttershy was the first to speak. "Twilight... it wasn't just a dream. It... it did happen. But..." Before I could respond or Fluttershy could finish, a new voice spoke up. "You're cured, Twilight Sparkle. You are no longer afflicted by the spell," said Princess Celestia. "Yeah, Twilight! Do you have all of your old memories back, too?" rambunctiously asked Pinkie Pie, acting as her usual way. "Well, assuming that she thought it was all just a dream, I would say yes," added Rarity. "B-but... If that wasn't a dream, I really did do all of those things! Wh-what do I do now?!" I can't believe it...! Princess Celestia simply smiled. "You will simply start all over again. Just ask yourself as many times as you think you need to: Who is Twilight Sparkle?"
