Celestia: There you are, Twilight. I swear, you've been avoiding me all week.
Twilight: A-avoiding, what makes you say that?
Celestia: Well, for one, you're tapping your hooves together and decidedly not meeting my eyes. We both know you can't keep a secret, and we both know I can read you well enough to figure out what that secret is.
Twilight: It's my oldest secret and my least-secret-secret, but...We've been winning every battle we've fought. Between these new wings and my place on the throne, I don't feel like there's anything left that I'm afraid of anymore. Except one thing.
Celestia: And am I right to imagine this one thing is something very personal to you?
Twilight: I tried to overcome it with magic--tried to get rid of the...unhealthy feelings I'd built up and the ugly barrier it was building...and I failed. I couldn't get rid of it. I guess Cadance would tell me normal magic can't overcome feelings like what I've been hiding, so...So I ran.
Celestia: ...Me? You've been afraid of...me?
Twilight: For years now. I wish I could say otherwise, but, more specifically...I never told you because--because I never wanted it to hurt you. But yes, you've always scared me.
Celestia: Because of my title? Because I was your teacher? And you say these feelings have...stayed? Even after everything we've done, all the distance we've travelled to become equals...friends? Twilight, I can't help but be more than a little hurt, I'm afraid. I consider you the greatest of my companions, and I--
Twilight: Please!...You're not making this easy. No, I wasn't afraid of any of that. You were a wonderful teacher and it wasn't ever you being angry or cruel that I feared. Not really. Those were lies I told myself to hide the truth. But we've come so far, and you've already told me so much, so I might as well open up my last real secret to you. I've always been afraid of you because I've never thought that you could never love me as much as I love you. *sniff* Any reminder of that awful truth--that you simply didn't hold half the love I held for you--was something that terrified me more than any monster or tyrant I've ever faced.
Celestia: *blush*. You don't mean to say...
Twilight: You mean the world to me, Celestia. My dream was always to become more like the thing I loved more than anything else in the world. Learning magic, leading ponies, stopping evil in the world. I wanted to be calm and powerful and kind and...I wanted to be more like you. So that I could be as lovely as you. And now, we stand as equals, except in love. So I bought these...
Celestia: Is that...Twilight? Is that a ring?
Twilight: Yes, but, well, it's not for you. It's more of...a..a reminder, say. Of something I can never have. To keep me going. So that maybe we could...stay friends, at least? It'll be hard for me. But I love you. So let me slip this on, as a reminder that even if you can never give yours, my heart will always belong to you.
Celestia: But of course I do, Twilight! I've always cared about you...so much more than you will ever know. Ever since you gave me back my sister. Gods, you saved my subjects and my life personally half a dozen times at least. You are the greatest thing in my life, Twilight. So please. Don't martyr yourself for me. Now put those rings away. Marrying yourself to unrequited love is hardly the proper way to court a lady. We're going to do this the old fashioned way. *hug* And we're going to do it together.
Twilight: I...what?
Celestia: Yes, Twilight. I love you, too. I want you to stay by my side forever. And if I can't do that, I want to put on one of those rings, because I'll have to marry myself to your unrequited love.
Twilight: *sniff* Princess...
Celestia: Come on, Twilight. Dry your eyes, and let's take our first step on this new journey you've started us on.
