Epilogue


Fluttershy, angry and upset, turned to where Cliff and the original Berry Punch were sat, shrieking, “How could yo-”

The pair were gone. Nopony knew what to think from this. Nopony except Rainbow Dash.

“Those rat BASTARDS!” she yelled, taking off out of the library.

Spike came to, and looked around at the crying mares.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Twilight rushed over to him and hugged him.

“Oh, Spike… AJ… Applejack’s dead…”

“What!?”

The dragon tried to look over Twilight’s shoulder, but she wouldn’t let him see the body. He gave up shortly, and just joined in with the mourning. But then, all of a sudden, he burped, and a scroll with the royal seal fell to the floor. Maintaining the embrace, Twilight magically lifted the message and opened it up.

‘To My Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.

‘If I am correct, I have just sensed you barbecuing Berry Punch after she killed your dear friend Applejack. I am sorry to say that I knew this day was coming. I shall be with you momentarily, and all will be explained.

‘Princess Celestia’

“Th-The P-P-Princess knew?” Fluttershy sobbed.

A flash of light and Celestia’s glow filled the Library.

“I am afraid I did, Fluttershy.”

Rainbow Dash returned, still furious.

“They just vanished right in fr- Princess?!”

“Hello, Rainbow Dash. It appears Cliff and Berry have begun their adventure. Would someone kindly wake Rarity? I must tell you all another tale not unlike the ones you have been recounting lately.”

While Spike and Fluttershy slowly brought Rarity back to consciousness, Twilight cautiously approached her teacher.

“What’s going on? How could all this have happened?”

“I’m afraid the only ones who could have told us everything were Applejack and Berry Punch.”

“And they’re both dead…”

Twilight hung her head, upset over Applejack, and guilt ridden after her actions against Berry. Celestia rested a hoof on Twilight’s back.

“Ah, but that is where you are wrong, Twilight Sparkle. You did not kill Berry Punch.”

“I didn’t!?”

“She is very much alive.”

“As am I,” said Applejack.

Much to the chagrin of Spike and Fluttershy, Rarity gasped and fainted. Again.
