Epilogue


... to Z



To my faithful student Twilight Sparkle,

Your quick thinking and skill at magic have saved us all from a terrible catastrophe. I couldn't be more proud of you. I'm so glad everypony in Ponyville is once again well, and you'll be happy to hear that the cure was also a complete success here in Canterlot.

The magical plaques have been restored to the library, and Star Swirl's old spells again reside within them. The library is once more safe from the terrible scourge of plums!

Good luck on your new studies, Twilight. I'm sure you'll do well.


Princess Celestia



"Plums!?" asked a confused Rainbow Dash as Spike finished reading the letter to the group.

Twilight laughed. "I'll get to that part in a moment."

She had presented the basic story of what had happened to the crowds at the celebration held in her honor earlier that day, but now her friends had all gathered in the library to hear it again in greater detail—and to tell their own tales of what had happened to them. The arrival of Princess Celestia's letter had interrupted them.

"What 'new studies' was she referrin' to?" asked Applejack, tipping her head to one side.

"Ah yes," said Twilight in a more serious tone. "Spike, I need you to fetch me a book."

Spike leapt to his feet. "Sure thing! Malevolent Maledictions and Misspells again?"

"No!" Twilight shuddered at the mention of the book. She then chuckled and said, "No, Spike. I need... Auntie Albatross's ABC's."

She turned to her friends with a smile, rubbing her hooves together with happy anticipation.

"I have a lot of reading to catch up on."
