I remember what happened after TD drank the antidote. Or rather, what didn't happen. He didn't show any signs of anger. No surprise, no resentment. Maybe it was because the poison took a passive effect on TD because it was different from the original. Maybe TD did a good job in hiding his emotions. I honestly don't know. We chatted some more after that and he left for his hotel to pack up and leave for the train station.

Six Months Later
“Sister, art thou ready for the Gala?” Luna asked as she walked into my room.
“Yes Luna, I am ready,” I replied.
“Is everything alright? Dost thou need anything?”
“No Luna, I am fine. Thank you.”
Seeing I had nothing to ask for, Luna walked out of the room. It had been half a year since our break up yet she was still looking over me as if I was heartbroken. True, even though my relationship with TD ended on a splendid note, I still cried that night after he left the castle. Getting over him took months, but eventually I was back to myself.
A while later, I was at the Gala hall, watching ponies walk in side where I greeted them. The Elements of Harmony were already here, and Twilight was by my side as we greeted each guest. The process of greeting ponies was repetitive and boring. I soon found my mind drifting off to other places. I remembered the time I spent with TD, the dates we went to and the laughs we shared. I was snapped back into reality by a familiar voice.
“Hello? Earth to Celestia. Anybody home?”
TD was in front of me in a suit. The guests stared at him in shock remembering the stunt he pulled in the last Gala. Even the Elements of Harmony were surprised by his unsuspected appearance. Before anypony could interject, I smiled brightly at TD trying to hold my inner filly from running loose. “Welcome to the Gala, TD.” I said in my rehearsed tone.
“So you’re probably busy now,” he said, “but maybe we can catch up later?”
“I will be looking forward to it.”
“Great. Catch you later.” And he walked to the bar wearing that same cheerful yet contagious smile on his face.
