	The Silver Pony Slippers

Chapter 13: Epilogue

And she was. High above Canterlot, in a cave at the top of Mount Canterhorn, Lady Lauren watched Twilight and her friends leaving Canterlot through her magic ice pond. Through this pond she could see everypony, and everything that happened in Equestira. This was where she lived. Although she had seen her beloved daughters, whom she was proud of, restored to their rightful thrones as Princesses of Equestria, and they had restored her to her Ladyship, she had chosen to take residence here so she could find peace, and watch over her daughters and everypony else in her retirement. After a long live of five thousand years, age was beginning to show in her, but she was still beautiful on the outside and inside. Lady Lauren couldn’t help but laugh to herself as she saw Twilight and her friends make up and learn another friendship lesson. She had watch Twilight and her friends grow and learn from each other, and she was proud of them. From here, She had watched them rescue Princess Luna, defeat Nightmare Moon, defeat and reform Discord, learn the meaning of true friendship, and, as to be expected, she had watched their latest adventure which involved her daughter’s slippers. 
Lady Lauren’s horn glowed and in a moment the picture in her ice pond changed so that she now saw her daughters Celestia and Luna standing together on the balcony of Luna’s bedroom in Canterlot Castle. Lady Lauren left her pond and walked to the entrance of the cave and outside to the edge of the Mountain. Far below she could see Canterlot and the castle, and sure enough, she could see her two daughters standing together on the balcony she had seen.

Far below in Canterlot Castle Princess Luna walked out on to her bedroom balcony. She was still wearing her magic silver pony slippers which sparkled and gleamed in the moonlight. On her back was Tiberius, or Tibbles for short, her pet opossum. She had found him several months ago, or rather he had found her. The cute opossum was a loyal friend to Princess Luna and loved her. 
Luna heard a noise and looked behind her. Her sister, Princess Celestia, joined her on the balcony and stood beside her. On her back was Philomena, her pet phoenix. The Princesses smiled at each other and nuzzled each other’s cheek in sisterly love. Luna looked down at her silver pony slippers and then back at Tibbles. She couldn’t have been happier. She was herself, she had her loving sister Celestia, she had friends that cared about her, she had a wonderful pet, she had her mother who watched over her and her sister, and she even got her magic, silver pony slippers back. Luna and Celestia looked at each other again, and then they looked high up toward the cave at the top of Mount Canterhorn, and in the distance, they could see their loving mother looking back down at them. 
“Thanks Mother,” said Princess Luna, “You were right about everything. I love you Mother.”
“I love you too Mother,” said Princess Celestia as she and Luna leaned against each other and each waved up at her with one of their wings.”
High on Mount Canterhorn, Lady Lauren saw her daughters’ wave and she waved back with her wing. She knew what they were saying. She smiled.
“I love you too.” Said Lady Lauren, “and always will, my little fillies.”
