   It was two months since the war, and Two Pie was elected Prince of equestria. he decided, that when the time was right, he would allow another election, when he wanted to join his friends after their deaths.

"sir, would you like us to make sugar cube corner a land mark of great foods?" asked an architect pony. (if you want, and this is from an everything wrong with episode. you cant think of it as littleshyFIM)

"yes, and the library that Princess Twilight lived in. she was always a great pony." He said, with a now deeper voice, and a beard! He wore a royal blue coat, with red linings, and golden couplets. he still wore his old chucks, but this time, they were somewhat the color of sand, not bright yellow sand, but white-yellow sand. he wore a crown that had only gems the color of the elements of harmony on them. his eyes, were slate blue now, and his hair was as blue as ever, along with his beard. his scales were no longer golden, but were that rusty-red look, with small hints of brown. he had his striking good looks, but now a days, he was just a bit nostalgic of his friends.

"Two months... it is time." he said, confusing the work pony, that was holding the schematics for a new sugar cube corner. Prince Two Pie then got off of his throne, walked down the many steps to the ground, then walked outside to be greeted by hundreds of ponies all ready for a funeral. This funeral was the funeral of 12. His mom, his old friend's parents, his old friends and spike. The grave stones of the main six elements of harmony, had the elements of harmony on them, while spike's had Two Pie's old coat on it. His friends' grave stones had gems on them, that were their cutie marks. 

The funeral went on for hours, long and sad, everypony was crying except for Two Pie, which was puting them to peace, all until he remembered what was in his pocket. "wait. no, this isn't the end of their lives." he said, confusing the crowd. "in fact..." Cadence was at the funeral as well, she was with Shining Armor, and they were both morning the 12 losses. "Cadence... you must have the crystal heart with you, don't you?" The rusty-red prince asked.

"y- yes... i do." she said, taking it out of her saddle bag. "can't ever be to prepared"

"good, can i see it?' Two Pie asked, getting to the crowd.

"yes, you can..." she replied, giving it to him, while looking confused.

Two Pie, then touched his quite unusually patterned horn to the heart, and then started speaking about his friends, family, and mentor, spike. no pony could understand his whispering, then... it wasn't a sonic rainboom of rusty-red and royal blue. it was more or less an explosion from the heart, which shook the graves, and startled the crowd. "Alons-y!" he said, then charging his horn with something to take the dirt off of the graves. he then shot his beam, but instead of lightly taking the dirt off of the dirt, it flung the dirt off, and behind Two Pie. what was there, was 12 caskets, that were opening all at different times and being left empty when the pony inside got out. "Two Pie?" Pinkie said getting out, looking at The prince. "is that you?" she asked.

"mom! guys! you all are ok!" he said, throwing hims hoofs around each one of them, at different times. "ah, i knew this story would come to a happy ending!"

"Story?" asked Twilight. she was getting up, and dusting her wings off. "wait, you're an alicorn now?!" she said, looking at him. they were all in shock when they saw his new body, huge wings and horn, and his blue beard. the beard was just something he wanted though. 

"There is somepony missing though" he said, then looking down. For once, he felt a full stock of and remorse for somepony before. Yes, he had the feelings for Aurora before, but this was unbearable. this was just like a piece of him was missing. 

"i... i think its time i give the throne to a more rightful princess." He said, taking off his crown, and giving it to Twilight.

"wait, dont you think i should? im the princess though! i should get the crown!" Aurora protested, as she watched Two Pie put the rightful crown on the mother of a spoiled brat.

"Aurora, your mother has done everything for equestria that she can and could in her life. she has saved billions, while you? you have only save... none." he said, then looking into her eyes.

"But I-" 

"Aurora. as not king of equestria, but a higher authority of equestria, i would ask you to stop your useless blabbering on about selfishness and actually give somepony else the spot light. Your mother has much better morals than you do as well, so shut your bloody pie hole up, and give somepony else a chance first." After Two Pie said this, everypony except Spike, was astonished at Two Pie's not rude, but... well, correct statement towards Aurora's selfishness.

"thank you Two Pie" said Twilight. she then turned, and walked towards the throne room, which was only a 2 minute walk. "Two Pie, what would you say if you were made a king, instead of a prince?" she asked, looking at him with the glint of generosity in her eyes.

"well, i would say no, but i think that equestria will have many enemies in the future that future Drakos will face against. and when they do, i MIGHT just need to be there to help, but i think they might get it." he said, looking straight forwards smiling as the guards opened the doors. "i might take you up on the offer. but i might just stay as my old self and let the leader ship to you, Princess."

"ah, you're too kind Two Pie, but im serious. i want you to be king."

"last time there was a king, stairs were the antagonist to you Twilight and you know that." he said jokingly, knowing it all ready after his fall from the canterlot tower, becoming Drako Pie. She let out a giggle, but then got a serious face on as if it were a mask.

"you know? you must be using that sixth sense that you inherited on your 12th birthday."

After that, Two Pie remembered somepony that he had forgotten from 4 years or so, of coming back home. "Zeru!" he said, then running back to the grave yard. he jumped over some little ponies, and slid under a fence which was still being built. 

He got to the grave yard with his horn charging, ready to bring back Zeru. luckily, the crystal heart was still there. he then touched his horn to the heart, and it shot a beam out uncovering a grave covered in vines and moss.

"ello?" said the old and weakened zebra. "am I alive?!' he said, realizing that he had a body again.

"Zeru!" it was the pony that didn't start it all, but influenced him to do things that would never be regretted. Two Pie, threw himself around zeru like a warm rusty-red blanket with white and royal blue features on it. "how are you buddy?" he said, getting off of the startled zebra.

"fine, but why in the bloody hell are you an alicorn?" he was still speaking in an accent, yet spoke clearly. was it the alicorn ears that were doing it?
