//------------------------------//

"Why have I never even heard of this spell book?", Twilight Sparkle asked herself. She was trying out spells in the book that Princess Celestia wanted her to study. "What do we have here, um, spells to change age, color, mane style, umm, spells to turn a mountain into cinnamon? Spells to fix cross-eyed ponies' eyes? Well I guess you'll never know.", she said as she scrolled through the book. She couldn't get Spike out of her mind, however, and was thinking about her young dragon assistant and Rarity's account of the previous night's events as well. She also pondered about Spike's personality when she saw him earlier. "Okay, somepony's lying here. Rarity, why would she? I'm one of her closest friends! Or maybe Spike is just trying to be happy and ignore the depression that came with Rarity's possibly made-up account. But Pinkie even proved Spike was happy! Because of a girl, she said? AUGH I'm so confused!", she said as she banged her head on her book. Just then, the library door opened and Twilight witnessed Spike enter. Although she had a series of questions to ask, she prevented asking once she saw him. Spike looked as if all of the world's gems were gone. Twilight had never seen the dragon so upset. With a hunched back, the dragon looked up at the princess.

"Huh? You're back? Oh, hi Twilight.", softly said Spike as he hung his head and fell onto a couch, his face buried into the cushion. 

Twilight's eyes twitched and her jaw dropped. She was more confused than ever before. Earlier that day Spike appeared to be happier than Granny Smith during Zap Apple Season, but now he was more melancholy than ever before.

"Will somepony please tell me what the hay is going on!!!!", a confused Twilight yelled. 

"Oh, you know, the usual.", replied Spike.

Twilight tried her best to make her assistant feel better, even though she really just wanted to know what was happening with him. 

"Spike, what's bugging you?"

"(Sigh) Nothing, Twilight."

"Something's on your mind, it's clear as a bell!"

"Bell? Who said anything about Sweetie Belle?"

A confused look came across Twilight. "Um, Sweetie Belle? No, I said 'clear as a bell'. Not Sweetie Belle."

"Oh. Right, (sigh) yeah."

"So, um, Spike. H-how was your day off?"

"It, um, it was fine."

"Are you sure about that? You sure don't seem as if."

"Why?"

"You entered the library all upset!"

"Well, I mean, you wouldn't understand why."

"You can always tell me."

"No, I, (sigh) I just can't. Too personal."

Twilight at this point was now desperate to get as much information out of Spike as possible. "Alright then, um, what did you do while I was gone in Canterlot?"

"I really don't feel like talking about it, Twilight."

"Errg, Spike, I don't have the patience for this! Either you tell me what's wrong or you'll suffer the consequences of whatever it is before you know it!"

Spike was surprised at his owner's change of tone. After jumping in shock, he turned and ran into the bedroom that he shared with the princess. 

Twilight put both fore hooves on her face and crept them up towards her mane in frustration. "O-kayy, Spike. Just be that way. Keep things from your owner, hide things from her, keep your problems all to yourself, I mean really? After all I've done for you! You won't let me help you with a little situation!", she said sternly to Spike.

Upstairs, he looked down at his owner. Not in the mood to argue, he turned around towards the piece of furniture he called his bed. Crawling inside this time around felt like the most inviting sensation Spike had ever experienced. There were no strict owners or pony girls he had to deal with under the covers. Besides the company of an old stuffed animal or two, Spike could just stay there all alone as the monster he thought himself to be. Being the only dragon in a bed all by himself sounded much better to him than being the only dragon in a pony-run town. There were no restrictions for being a dragon whilst resting his head on a pillow. He wished he could just lay on it's comforting cushion and fluffy pillow for eternity and never have to get up to face his lonely reality ever again. As Spike's head moved down his pillow, it started to feel crunchy, and Spike realized that his head was now on the burnt part from the other morning. He angrily sighed and shifted his thoughts back to his case.

"Stupid Twilight.", Spike said to himself, "Stupid Ponyville, stupid dragons. Of all ponies, why did I have to be a dragon? Why couldn't anypony who wanted to be a ferocious beast for his whole life take my place! And then on top of this, I have nopony to turn to for help. Twilight will just be angry as usual and will only try to convince me that I'm not depressed and won't care. She rarely ever cares for me! (Sigh) I don't even have a real mother or father to look up to for this. (Sniff) And some substitute Twilight is for one! And now, jeez, within two days both of my dream girls have become lost causes. Oh, Sweetie Belle."

Spike started to play with one of the stuffed animal's ruffled hair as if it were Sweetie Belle's beautiful mane. His tired condition then caused him drift off to sleep.

"I wish I was a pony."

Rarity was in her shop taking a brief dinner break from her work. Although she was ravenous from not eating a crumb during her strict work résumé, she chose to eat a small and sophisticated entrée like she usually did. The shop door then opened and Rarity moaned. "Another customer?", she quietly said to herself in frustration. Looking towards the door, however, Rarity realized that it was none other than her filly sister entering the boutique. "Sweetie Belle, there you are! Good timing, too, because it was starting to darken outside an- Sweetie Belle?" Rarity saw that sister was downcast. "Sweetie Belle?". Rarity did her best to give her kin a warm welcome home. "How was your day, sister of mine?"

"It was… um, busy.", she softly replied.

"Busy? Well what could ever have taken up that precious time?"

"Well, I swept the floors of the blanket shop and mowed Junebug's lawn and-"

Rarity became quite perplexed. The feeling then shifted to amazement. "You mean to tell me that you did chores? And all of Ponyville is still intact? B-but, how?" 

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes at her sister's sentences. Sweetie knew she typically messed chores up, but Rarity did not have to rub it in. "It's alright, no worries, I wasn't alone." Sweetie rejected in her mind mentioning that she was not alone. Rarity, however, picked up on it.

Rarity raised an eyebrow. "Who were you with? Your crusader friends?"

Sweetie Belle did not want to risk saying that Apple Bloom or Scootaloo accompanied her because there was a chance that Rarity could find out that they were elsewhere. "Oh, um, nopony."

"You just said that you had a partner!"

"Spike is not my 'partner'!", Sweetie Belle stammered. After a couple seconds, Sweetie's and Rarity's eyes both popped open. Sweetie's instincts told her to deny any idea of her spending the day with Spike, but there were too many other ponies who saw them that had evidence to prove otherwise.

Thoughts of the other night came back to Rarity once Spike's name was brought up. Several assumptions processed through her head. "Was Spike so happy because he got to spend the day with Sweetie Belle, or otherwise? Why's Sweetie so upset? Ugh, confusion strikes again!", she thought. She then asked aloud, "You spent the day with… Spike?"

Sweetie hesitated to respond at first, but eventually did. She tried to stick with the thought that they were only friends. "Yeah, I did."

After thinking the whole time, Rarity jumped to a conclusion. "Oh, I see now! Spike was morose over my response to his proposal and Sweetie in some way or another cheered him up, uh, sometime between my 'no' and when I laid eyes on him this morning! That's why Spike was happy! Wow. I can't actually believe that Sweetie was powerful enough to change Spike's thoughts. Well, I don't know for sure anyways. But why's Sweetie so upset?" Rarity prided herself inside for her conclusion. She then turned to her sister. Rarity just could not leave Sweetie Belle how she was. As the good sister she believed she was, Rarity decided to attempt at comforting her sister. "Sweetums, did Spike do anything to you?"

"No! No, um, really, um, no. My friend , Spike, did nothing to me!"

"Sweetie." Rarity did not plan on nor want to bring this up to her sister, who she thought was still upset over Rarity not liking Spike back. "Can I tell you something?"

"What?"

"I wanted to refrain from telling you this but, (sigh), Spike did ask me to be his special-some-pony."

"I know."

Rarity became surprised. "You do? Huh? Did Spike tell you, dear?"

"Yes. Spike told me everything."

Rarity walked up to Sweetie and wrapped her forelegs around her in a hug. "I know that it is exactly what you didn't want for Spike. I'm so sorry it had to be done so soon."

Although her sorrow for Spike not getting any love back from Rarity was long gone, Sweetie was still upset about what she just went through with him on the park bench. Eyes watering up, she returned the hug. The filly never thought that she'd someday be hugging her sister because of Twilight Sparkle's dragon assistant. When Rarity released her sister, Sweetie felt uneasy. The last two days were making life complicated for her. Bereft of things to say, Sweetie just turned to go up to her room.

"Sweetie Belle."

Rarity's words stopped the unicorn filly's walking. "Y-yes, Rarity?"

"Is that, um, why you're so down tonight?"

Sweetie wanted to avoid letting the real reason slip at all costs, but she felt dazed and the walls of the boutique spun around in her head and the room seemed to be shrinking. "I-", she started, "I don't wanna talk about it!". She then ran up the stairs, leaving Rarity almost as befuddled as Twilight. 

"I can't leave my sister in the condition that she is in now, but if she refrains from telling me anything she won't get the necessary help! (Sigh), Just give it time, Rarity, and it will work!", she said to herself. 

Meanwhile upstairs in the guest bedroom, Sweetie was crying into a pillow all by herself. She felt so lonely and distant from the present as she was going through something that she never had been through. Yesterday was her first experience with love with a boy, but the next was her first break up experience. It was too intense for her to handle. She's been through different kinds of love before, of course. She's loved her past pets, she loves her family, and she somewhat loves her cooking, but this was a different kind of love. It was for a boy. Sweetie always needed help when it came to love, everypony needed help. If she needed help with when to feed her goldfish, she'd simply ask her parents or a pet store owner. If she needed help with her cooking, she'd turn to her mother or another pony that cooks. There was always somepony that she could resort to for assistance and guidance. This case was different. If the boy that she loved was a pony, she could turn to a mare that had been through a boy or two for help. However, nopony Sweetie knew or ever met had ever fallen in love with a dragon before. And that, respectively, is who Sweetie Belle loved. She had nopony for help. This left her feeling more alone than she had ever felt before. She wasn't sure of what to do besides treat Spike as a mere friend. She wanted Spike. Just looking into his reptile eyes would make Sweetie Belle happier than if she were to get a cutie mark on her flank. "Why, why, why, why, why? Why does Spike have to be a dragon? He deserves more rights to be a pony than, than- oh who cares who? And now Rarity could find out about this! He is not a monster! (Sniff)", she was barely able to make out between sobs. "He's a forever-lost dream."

"Okay, steady now, Twilight, steeaady…"

The alicorn was attempting a new spell from the book. This one was turning a leaf into a raccoon. With a colorful orb of magic surrounding her horn and lots of confidence, she slowly pointed her horn towards the brown leaf that she had set in front of her. With all the power surging through her horn, sparks bristled out and immediately shot towards the leaf. As the magical glow surrounded the leaf, only it's silhouette could be made out. Twilight saw the silhouette shift from a leaf shape and slowly evolve into that of a raccoon. The spell had finished by the time her unicorn horn lost it's mystical glow. Feeling a tad dizzy from the spell, she shook her head and cleared her vision. What she saw before her was her regular library but with a raccoon running around. The leaf clearly was not used to its new body and was having difficulty getting accustomed to it. He looked almost drunk trying to walk. 

"Poor thing! As much as I hate to waste my magic, I just can't let a leaf be a raccoon for the rest of his life! Hmm, I never thought I'd ever say that.", said Twilight as she had her magic spoil up again to reverse what she did. After putting the leaf out of its misery, Twilight turned to the potion section of the book. Although she did not often make or work with potions, Twilight was still eager to try some out. 

"Let's take a look, now. Um, let's see here, potion number 63 will transform a mare into a stallion? And vice versa? I-I don't really wanna try that one out! Well let's see what else Mr. Book here has in store for me!", she said to herself. "Potions to turn corn into carrots, dirt into water, pegasi into trees, hmm, potions to turn dragons into armadillos? Wow, this dragon section is a lot larger than I expected! I guess I could try one or more on Spike when he wakes up and possibly lightens up. Let's see, I could turn Spike into a dog, a mule, hmm, a pony?" 

Twilight thought for a moment and then broke into a little laughter. 

"Why in Equestria would Spike ever want to be a pony? I bet he's happier than Pinkie Pie since he's a dragon! Let's see what I need, uhh… wow! All the ingredients for the  dragon potions are accessible here in the library! I barely even have to lift a hoof for this one! Well, as long as I have all the necessary materials here, I'll make the pony one to try on him. I don't know if it will help him at all with his little 'case' but royal duties are always more important than Spike's childish, um, whatever." 

Twilight went around her home to get everything she needed. 

"Okay, I think that rounds off the list! Dandelions, sourdough bread crumbs, rainbow precipitation I have from Rainbow Dash, a pint of Diet Cola, sparkle dust, herbs and magical whatnot I got from Zecora, and one sprinkle! Mixing time!" 

Twilight put all these materials in a bowl and worked her magic to start mixing. After a while of mixing everything up, Twilight had a legitimate potion that possessed the ability to transform a dragon into a pony. 

"Let's see, how do I save this potion for the morning… um, the book says to leave it outside for it to stay active. No problem, I'll just put it on my windowsill up in the room." 

Twilight used her unicorn magic to lift the bowl up to her and Spike's room up the stairs. When she got there, she couldn't see Spike since he was cozily wrapped up in his blanket. Twilight also really had no interest in looking for him at the moment. She was cautiously walking across the room with the bowl. However as Twilight was halfway across the room, Spike let out a loud snore and sleepily pulled his blanket off, causing Twilight to rapidly turn around in surprise. 

"Hello, who's there?", she quickly asked. 

She was so worried that she was unaware that half of her potion flew out of the bowl towards Spike. There was nothing Twilight could do to stop it. 

"NOOOO!", she yelled. 

It was too late. The potion doused Spike. If the author of the spell book wasn't lying, Spike would be a pony by morning. 

"Yaaaawn." It looked as if Spike was about to wake up. Twilight cringed in terror as to how he'd react to becoming a pony. Spike fell right back asleep, causing Twilight to sigh in relief. But then what she had done to him just dawned on her.

"Oh no, this is bad, this is very very bad! Spike just can't be a pony, he'll be more heartbroken than he already is! (Sigh) I wish I knew what was making him so down. Gosh, I really need to improve on being a good owner, I don't know about anything going on with him! And I know he probably hates me for it. (Sigh) Well, Twi, prepare for more hatred. Spike won't want to ever talk to me again!", she guiltily said to herself. Twilight fell onto her bed as her self-frustration put her to sleep. 

~

Shapes started forming in Spike's eyes as they opened for the first time since he fell asleep. Blinking a couple of times, the shapes Spike saw became the familiar sights of the bedroom that he shared with Twilight Sparkle.

"Eesh, oh, man, I think I slept funny, I don't really feel like-"

Spike stopped speaking as he moved his muscles for the first time since he woke up. He realized that something was very odd and different. 

"Ouch, what in the, wa-, why do my arms feel so, um, misplaced an- AAAAHHHH WHERE IN EQUESTRIA ARE MY FINGERS!?!? My (sniff) precious, beautiful fingers! I-I never even got to name them! We've been through so much! I have (gasp), hooves! I gotta get Twilight!"

Spike found it struggling to get out of bed like how he usually got up every morning. His body oddly felt very foreign to him. He spent a good two minutes just trying to get on his back. When he slid off, he couldn't even stand on his legs. He fell right on his face and rapidly tried to get up. When finally on four hooves, Spike found it much more comfortable and almost more natural standing on four than on his usual two legs. He attempted walking on all fours, but found it much harder than crawling when he imitated ponies as a dragon. He realized that he no longer had his short stubby dragon legs but had much longer ones in their place with hooves. He felt a tail alright, but it was very different that his scaly dragon tail. Spike used his right foreleg to feel his body, but felt soft fur rather than the sharp scales he was used to. His eyes started to water up. 

"What's happened to me!"

He looked up and saw Twilight sitting at the desk in their room in sorrow. She looked over and saw her dragon assistant, but he looked very different than how long she had owned him. 

"Oh, good, you're okay! The potion actually worked.", she said.

"What worked? Why am I so… different? Why would you do this to me? Especially with no warning!"

"Oh, Spike, I'm so sorry, but I accidentally spilled a potion that I had brewed last night on you while you slept. If it made contact with a dragon, it would (gulp), turn them into…"

"Into what? What am I?"

"(Sigh) … a pony."

Spike's eyes shot open. He limped over to the mirror that he usually passed every morning and looked into it. The alicorn wasn't kidding. The dragon that Spike always saw staring back at him in the mirror was not there. A pony was standing in its place. Spike saw a small colt that looked like it belonged in Cheerilee's class in the dragon's place. It had purple fur that matched his old scales and a lime green mane that matched his old spikes. His eyes no longer looked like those of a reptile but those of a pony. He had no cutie mark and was an earth pony. Spike blinked a couple of times, and slapped himself with his hoof to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Having an unstable balance from holding one of his hooves up to slap himself, Spike realized that he actually was transformed into a pony. Twilight put her fore hooves to her face and sighed in remorse. 

"I am so sorry, Spike, and I just can't imagine what you're going through. Just, (sigh), go ahead and hate me. I understand completely."
As Twilight hung her head in guilt, Spike looked into his reflection and smiled. His eyes started to dispense tears of joy and he started laughing in relief. Twilight looked towards her assistant, confused, as he started hopping up and down and then running in circles. He quickly tried to walk to Twilight. Walking better and more naturally than when he first had gotten up, Spike hugged the princess. 

"Um, Spike? You-you mean you aren't mad?"

"No, no no of course not! Thank you thank you thank you sooo much, Twilight! Woo-hoo, I'm happy as an oak!"

"That's not even an expression!"

"I don't care, oh boy, I gotta go!"

Spike attempted walking towards the stairs, fell, but was too excited to give up. He started to limp down the stairs, hardly able to catch his breath. However, Twilight looked away as Spike slipped. She heard a thud from every step he slipped on as he fell down the stairs. He quickly hopped back up and walked towards the door.

"I thought you'd be angry with me, or at least still angry at whatever you were at earlier."

"Nope! Not today! Definitely not! Yes! No more letters, no more flames, no more sharpness, haha, no more barriers! I'm free! Freedom!"

As Twilight heard the door close shut as Spike yelled "FREEEEEDOM", she stayed put sitting at her desk, amazed at what she had saw. With what Twilight thought would ruin Spike's life for good just made him the happiest dragon alive. She barely even had to try for that one. Twilight Sparkle was very nervous-cited, as Pinkie Pie would put it. She was glad and relieved to finally see him so happy. It was almost unnatural to see him like that. Spike was never that excited. She was also quite perplexed that he had so many flaws with being the dragon that he was. He never complained about his species.

"Wait a minute, Spike never liked being a dragon? Gosh, Twi, if you want to improve on being a good owner, you HAVE to know about what Spike wants and whatnot. I didn't know he wanted to be a pony. Errrg, Twilight! Still, I mean, it's nice to see him so happy. Quite a significant change in behavior if you ask me! Owlicious, did you know that Spike wanted to be a pony?"

"Who."

"Spike! (Sigh) Oh, yeah. I guess I should return to my studies now, and- wow! A potion to turn an owl into a music disc? I guess I could try that one. How does that sound, Owlicious? Um, Owlicious?"

Twilight looked to where her pet owl once stood and saw nothing but brown feathers swaying through the air, slowly falling towards the ground. Twilight chuckled.

"Oh boy, this will be harder than it looks."

~

Running through the streets of Ponyville, Spike the pony had the biggest smile he's had in all these last three days. He had an exciting glow in his eyes as he ran along. Ponies passing by looked at him run about with a grin, and they smiled at the sight. Spike said "hi" to every pony he saw.

"Hey, Lemon Hearts! Hey Merry May! Wonderful day, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it sure is!", replied Merry May. When Spike was out of reach, she turned to Lemon Hearts. "Who was that colt?"

"I have no idea, but it's wonderful to see that he's so glad!", replied Lemon Hearts.

Spike continued by walking through the market. "Hey Applejack! Hey Big Mac! Those apples look great!"

"Well, thank you very much, young stallion!", the element of honesty replied. "Plucked fast and fresh from Sweet Apple Acres!"

"I'd love some, but I have something I need to attend to! Catch you later, A.J.!"

"See ya real soon, youngin!". When Spike was away, Applejack turned towards Big Macintosh. "Did, um, that colt sound just like Spike?"

"Eeyup.", he replied to his sister.

"Eerie, if ya ask me.", Applejack added.

Spike was now skipping with glee through Ponyville. Skipping with glee next to him was Pinkie Pie, who was, as usual, just as happy as Spike.

"Hey, there! You're new here aren't you?", she asked.

"Hey Pinkie Pie! I-"

"You know my name?!?! I guess I'm somehow known all over Equestira! Is it because of Twilight and her princessyhood or because of my puffy mane that I've never seen anypony else with?"

"Oh quit messing around, Pinkie, it's me!"

"Oh, okay, hi me! How is me doing on this fantabuloso day? Hmm, it sounds an awful lot like I'm talking to myself."

Pinkie paused to ponder about this as Spike hopped further through the town. Spike wanted badly to try some of the pony activities he couldn't do as a dragon, but he could not do them just yet. There was somepony Spike had to get to. Somepony that he simply could not get his mind off of for the past two days. It was also somepony that he just bumped into as soon as he hopped away from Pinkie, causing both of them to fall. Spike looked up and saw the unicorn he was searching for. Sweetie Belle was standing before him. 
Sweetie saw Spike as a pony for a first time when she looked up. She was clueless to the fact that it was Spike in a pony package. Seeing him struggling to get up, she immediately came to his assistance. 

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry about that! Here, I'll help you up." Sweetie just couldn't leave the colt fallen there. She hated seeing others upset like that. She was the sister of the element of generosity, after all. There was also something about this pony that reminded her of a special dragon that she couldn't avoid thinking of. 

"Sorry, Sweetie Belle!"

Sweetie Belle froze still. Goosebumps rushed down her spine as her eyes widened. This pony sounded just like Spike. Was it Spike? 

"Sp-Spike?"

"Sweetie, don't worry! Twilight accidentally turned me into a pony last night, and, and I just can't believe it! Heh, you know her and her magic mishaps. You know what this means, right?"

Sweetie looked down to the ground, astonished. Finding it hard to make eye contact with the colt that stood before her, she just could not believe what was happening. The boy of her dreams seemed to finally be a pony. No more hiding, no more secrets, no chance of having a freaky reputation amongst her fellow ponies, and no more stress. Sweetie felt as if all the weight in the world was lifted off of her chest. Her most desired dreams have come true. Slapping herself to confirm she wasn't dreaming, she shook her head rapidly and finally grasped that everything happening was reality. She looked up to Spike, tears of joy in her eyes, and smiled. She had the biggest smile Spike had ever seen on her. She then squealed and started hopping up and down and Spike joined her. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! You're a pony! I don't believe it!"

"I can't believe it, either! This is the best thing that's ever happened to me!"

"To you? This is the best thing that's ever happened to me!"

"So, what's the big word? Are we back together?"

Sweetie leapt towards Spike and wrapped her fore hooves around him. Spike found Sweetie simply adorable when she was so overjoyed like this.

"Of course of course yes yes yes yes! I love you so much! Oh my gosh, we can say that in public now! I love you I love you I love you!"

"I love you I love you I love you more!"

The two ran all around town square together, laughing the entire time. Everything was perfect for them. She was finally happy and he was finally happy, and that's all that mattered to them. Seeing the two fillies running around and having a good time made the citizens of Ponyville twice as glad as they already were. When the young couple ceased their running, they found themselves next to town hall. Staring into each other's eyes, the two smiling ponies moved their heads closer and kissed for the first time in public. They had no fear this time around. They were both on top of the world at that moment. It was the happiest moment in all their lives. They then shared a tight hug. Shortly after, Sweetie darted her head up towards a nearby clock.

"Oh my, the time! I have to get to school!"

"Aww, well, I guess I'll see you afterwards."

"Well, what are you planning on doing while I'm at school?"

"Um, (sigh), I have no clue. If I go back to the library, though, I'll have to deal with Twilight. She'll probably just try to reverse the spell!"

"Well then, umm, hey! How about you come to school with me!"

"Well, I don't know. I'm not even in Cheerilee's class."

"Um, how about you help me present my project! I'll just tell Miss Cheerilee that you are only there to help me!"

Sweetie Belle pulled a poster she had made about the history of pegasus aviation that she was assigned to present in front of her class out of her saddle bag. Spike was impressed with Sweetie's efforts on her project.

"Wow, unbelievable, Sweetie Belle! I'd be glad to help you present it!"

"Sounds like a plan! I've been working on it all last week!"

The two started hopping towards the schoolhouse together.

"Say, Sweetie, what do you need help with exactly to present that?"

"Oh, yeah, I need somepony to hold the poster up for me as I read it!"

"Oh boy, well, anything for you, Sweetie."

The two were still in shock as to how their wildest dream just became a reality. They were eager to see what their relationship had in store for them and how other ponies would interpret their love for each other. They were finally both the same species. They were finally both properly showing love for each other. They were finally both relieved and excited. The were finally both happy. And that's all that they ever wanted.
