Hearth's Warming Eve (Epilogue)
1.5 Earth Years later, UNSC presence established on Equinia, Human civilian immigrant count: 1.56 million
Twilight's Library, Ponyville, Equestria.
Gunnar was looking at photos, thinking back to some fond memories. He first looked at one particular photo that always touched his heart and made him smile. Majestic was out of their armor, in civilian outfits, posing for a picture with him, Twilight, Rainbow, AJ, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, Spike, and Patchy. That was during the party Pinkie had thrown three weeks after the fighting stopped and the Covenant retreated from the system for good.
There was another photo of him, standing on stage with Celestia, Luna, Captain Thomas Lasky, Commander Sarah Palmer, Thel Vadamee, and R'tas Vadamee. He missed the last for beings on that list. They had become amazing friends. In that same picture, Gunnar was standing in front holding a medal. That same medal sat in a case next to the photo at this moment. It was the UNSC's Colonial Cross. He would cherish that gift for the rest of his days.
The last picture he looked at was his favorite. Him and Twilight with a little foal: their son. That picture had been taken on the wedding day six months ago. It saddened him that Lasky, Majestic, and their other human friends couldn't attend that memorable ceremony. But, they were there in heart and memory at least. Somewhere off in the galaxy, the crew of the Infinity was at it again, fighting off evil so peace and harmony could endure. Gunnar smiled as he studied the picture further. He saw his right hoof stallion and best colt Oakleaf and his marefriend Mystic in the picture. He saw Spike getting in trouble off in the background, which made him laugh. He saw Celestia and Luna smiling in the background too. There was Shining Armor and Cadence smiling proudly too. Plus, off to the right, a little off behind the newlyweds, was the one crew member of Infinity that had stayed behind because he could not leave the new friends he had made behind: Patchy.
"Taking a stroll down memory lane?" a certain mare said with a gentle giggle as she trotted up from somewhere behind him and leaned against him.
He wrapped his foreleg around Twilight's shoulders and held her close, smiling. He kissed her cheek before answering. "Yeah. That's exactly what I'm doing," he chuckled.
She looked at him and frowned a bit. "You miss them sometimes don't you?" she asked, referring to their human and sangheili friends.
Gunnar let out a small sigh and nodded.
"Well they'll always be around," she said as she rested a hoof on his chest where his heart is, "In here." She smiled warmly at him.
Gunnar smiled back at her before kissing her. They held the kiss for a couple minutes before slowly separating and smiling at each other.
"Come on, let's go back and join the others. Hearth's Warming Eve is best spent with the whole family," she giggled.
Gunnar nodded happily and they returned to the main room. Pinkie and the whole Cake family was there managing the deserts, except for the little foals. Those two were hanging out with Twilight's and Gunnar's son. Patchy was watching over the littluns, playing with them and making them laugh. Fluttershy and Rarity were chatting about different things off to the right. Rainbow was dancing to the music and having a good time. AJ had brought her family: her brother Big Macintosh, her little sister Applebloom, and of course, Granny Smith. They were chatting with Shining Armor and Cadence. Twilight was especially glad that Celestia and Luna could make it this year. They were chatting about royal duties and what not here and there no doubt, but they were still smiling and having a good time. Applebloom had also brought her friends Scootaloo and Rarity's little sister, Sweetie Belle. The three of them were commonly known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They were having fun playing games.
Twilight called everypony together for a photo. They got together. The camera clicked. There they all were, in the photo, one big happy family, their bond forged stronger than steel.

HUUUH!?
okay
one: WORT WORT WORT!? wut u mean by that?
two: Of course Twilight doesn't have a spell that goes spartan laser strength, she's never even used that kind of spell. Tryin' to keep it somewhat canon at least bro.
3424511 you know...
standerd Elite battle cry
3426497
*facehoof* in this case a "Wort wort wort" would have ruined the story. It would have sounded too silly.
3442693
Yeah only cause i mentioned your character like you wanted
Hello hey don't you find it odd that you guys are they only people who are in the comments oh and rainbowpootis funniest dam profile pic
What exactly is the link to the next Halo trailer supposed to mean?
3813301
It means the events here occurred before the events of the next halo in this little spinoff. And it tells folks to look forward to the approaching awesomeness of Halo on Xbox One LOL I understand that there may be a few NEEEIGH sayers in the crowd who believe Halo on Xbox One is NOT awesome but come on guys, let us have our moment XD
3816367
Well, we will have to wait for the next Halo a few more months (approx. a whole year).
But hey! We got Halo Spartan Assault which is sure as fuck the thing that all the Halo fans
wanted!
Said no one ever.
P.S.:NEIGHSAYERS GONNA NEIGHSAY!!!
Guys, no fighting on this comment page please
4101369 There was a pun in there sorry had to point it out XD I'll see about fixing it soon as I can.

Okay, Season 4 Finale has me sitting corrected..... Twilight managed to use magic that had the strength of a nuclear detonation..... How Tirek was able to survive that even with all the magic he had absorbed..... I will never know.....
6183969 http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Long_Night_of_Solace guess again. CSO class Supercarrier was an uncommon sight but not experimental. It was a mainline carrier.
6183969 Please make sure to look things up and get your facts straight. Don't go on straight up assumptions and guesses. Back up your supposed "facts" with evidence.
6819829 If I'm guessing correctly, about 10,000 counting crew, engineers, and assorted personnel
6892159 it is gray + cloaking?
I have one thing to say: amazing story ever! I take my helmet off to you
7199355 This was before Halo 5 Guardians came out and the full story of Buck was known to me. It's a spinoff, not a canon continuation.
9805863
Yep that was what I was looking for.
My opinion on this story?...
Yes
This is a pretty good story! Although I fell as if things were rushed too much. For example the UNSC the princesses becomes allys to fast. Plus there were barely and political talk between them. Also if the Infinity crashed landed I would have expected more damage to the point there need some time before helping Equestria. I also feel as if the whole Gunnar x Twi thing gets in the way of other stuff. eh well just some feedback
