//------------------------------// // Epilogue: One Month Later // Story: I, Little Pony // by Lux //------------------------------// Epilogue: One Month Later I could have easily ended my story there. After all, Brush and I made it to Equestria. But there are a few last thing I want to mention before I say goodbye to you all, a catching up from the time we arrived in Canterlot until now one month later. It’s funny to think how over a month ago I would still be the average human living an average life except for her obsession to My Little Pony. How much have things changed since then! I guess that’s the funny thing about wishes. Sometimes you get them granted but not in the way you expect and your life gets turned upside down in the process. While I’m sorry to say that not everyone has a happy ending to a wish coming true, there are those few moments that when everything is chaotically crazy and you don’t know what your future is, you find your new life is better than you could ever imagine! I guess I’m living proof at that. Twilight once asked me that if I had the power to go back in time to the night I made that wish with the knowledge of what I had now, would I change things. And the answer I gave her was a resounding no. The next two weeks Brush and I spent in Canterlot speaking with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight (although she gets uncomfortable when I call her that.) At first I thought that these three would think that the two of us were crazy or maybe we ate some bad hay and we hallucinated the whole thing. But to our surprise the three were very interested in our tale of how we became ponies, our meeting each other, and our escape to Canterlot. Twilight seemed the most calm about it, and I think I heard her mention that she once traveled into a world where she and her friends were humans. I’ll have to ask her about that. Apart from us telling the story, we learned from the three Alicorns about Equestria. Trust me, there’s far more about the kingdom than the TV series can ever show you. We learned the kingdom’s history, its laws, and the pony culture. Twilight was kind enough to also help us with our magic too, getting it up to power of how an adult pony’s magic should be. We felt like little foals as we blundered through her lessons, but she never wavered or second guessed helping us. The coolest thing was when Twilight introduced us to her five friends and fellow bearers of the Elements of Harmony. She didn’t tell them our story though, preferring to just say that we were her new friend. I think she just wanted us to be normal ponies for a change and would leave the telling of our tale up to us if we wanted. In the end though, Brush and I decided not to tell anypony our secret. Our human life was in the past like a chapter in a book. Upon crossing over to Canterlot we closed that chapter and opened a new on for us to fill with new memories. I think our proudest moment came, apart from when Twilight considered us her friend, was when Princess Celestia and Luna granted us the full citizenship as citizens of Equestria. It was a proud moment for both of us. You should have seen Brush Stroke beam with pride! Celestia and Luna also declared that we were free to visit the castle at any time, well, unless they were busy with their royal duties. I think they want to know more about human culture. Some doors don’t stay completely closed it seems. The two of us moved into a nice home in Canterlot. I became Celestia’s personal author and have time to write my own novels with my magic as I’m doing right now. Brush is happy as a painter, creating beautiful works of art at our studio of scenes of Equestria. Princess Luna even commissioned him to paint a picture of the night sky. As for our love, it has never been stronger! In our busy lives we find the time to enjoy each other’s company or go out on a date. And you know something? I think he’s going to propose to me soon! Oh I’m as excited as a filly on Heath’s Warming Day thinking about it! So now we come to the present as I close out this book. I hope that in reading this you understand that sometimes what we think is fantasy like a book or a cartoon may be just an alternate reality in disguise, waiting to be explored. There are some events in our lives that we do not know why they happen but may be the moments in which wonderful magical things can happen. And I will close by saying be careful dear reader what you wish for. You might just get more than you expect! And with those lessons, I bid you farewell. I, the Little Pony, Quill Flourish The End!
