Epilog: Many Happy Endings

Fluttershy took to the sky, leaving the friendship academy behind her much faster than she normally would. Even if the first stop on her mission had been a bust, she had her suspicions that her task had only been made easier by not finding her intended target.

The widely smiling pegasus gripped a still sealed scroll to her chest as she flew. The Everfree began to pass below her quickly as she went, barely able to contain her glee. She noticed the scenery she flew above turn familiar just before the gentle smoke from a small huts chimney became noticeable through the canopy. Her wings flattened against her sides as she went down in a dive bomb that would normally be way out of her comfort zone.

She flared her wings and came to a possibly harder stop on the ground than she intended. The noise of it seemed to cause a commotion in the hut as the sound of some hurried and uncoordinated movements could be heard within. Fluttershy hurried to the door and knocked enthusiastically.

A few moments and some hushed words passed in the hut before the door opened only wide enough for the owner to poke her head out.

"Ah Fluttershy my good friend, to what pleasure do I have your visit to lend?"

Fluttershy smiled knowingly. "Hey Zecora, is Morningstar here too?"

The smile Zecora made looked wrong on the normally in control mare. "Oh but my friend I live in the Everfree, why in the world would you think this is where Starry would be?"

"..... Starry?" Zecora's awkward smile went bigger at Fluttershy's implied inquiry. She just smiled smugly as she presented the scroll and spoke louder than necessary if only the mare in front of her was listening. "Spike got a message from Fizzlepop earlier."

There was another sound of uncoordinated movements from within the hut. Zecora winced before her head slumped and she pushed the door open. From within Morningstar smiled sheepishly as he stood from the floor he'd apparently just fallen to. "Heh heh, hey Shy. What's our dear commander got to say?"

Fluttershy just smiled at the situation. "I figured you two would like to read it as well, so I haven't broken the seal yet."

Zecora seemed to have recovered from her embarrassment. "A good mare in my measure, if I might have the pleasure?" She asked this while extending a hoof.

Fluttershy smiled as she passed it to her. "Sure, even if I think you already were."

Zecora seemed to not notice the jab despite the color that now came to her cheeks. Morningstar came up next to her as she opened the scroll, comfortably close if Fluttershy was the judge. Upon unrolling it another scroll rolled out.

"Another message that I see, what double joy can there be?"

Morningstar picked up the other scroll and examined it before presenting it to Fluttershy. "Another one for you."

Fluttershy checked it herself and smiled. "Me and the girls. But I imagine they wouldn't care if you two saw it." She began to open that one as well.

Morningstar and Zecora read the first note, smiles coming to their faces. Fluttershy smiled as well. Morningstar turned theirs to Fluttershy. Three words. "She said yes!"

Fluttershy smiled wider as she showed the other. "She beat me to it. I said yes!"

The group shared a collective sigh of relief. Morningstar broke the brief silence. "So, who's maid of honor have you decided to be?"

He directed it to Fluttershy, who smiled shyly. "You never know Morningstar, Fizzlepop might have used some of your advice. Maybe you'll be the maid of honor."

Zecora had to suppress a giggle as Morningstar responded. "Yeah, she probably would do that, just so she could make me wear a dress."

"If it was to help such a friend, there is no taboo you would not bend." She reached to gently stroke his chin with her hoof

Morningstar chuckled at that. "Yeah, probably. They deserve their happiness."

Fluttershy thought of her own love. She also looked at the new couple before her. "We all do."

Author's Note:

And this is, at long last, the end of this story. No idea how a little add on to my other story ended up being nearly 20k words, but I had fun with it. Yeah, actually that's probably the reason. 

I wish I had decided to publish sooner as I only just realized the dates involved. Just over a week ago was the anniversary of when I published the first chapter of this story.... three years ago! Thanks so much to anyone who has been around for all of that, you're all true friends to me and I mean that.

I don't have any plans for any follow-ups to this, I think I've officially used up all the content I came up with for this story. Minus one thing, I never did reveal how Fizzlepop learned to use Pinkie's pinkie sense to her advantage. Ah, one missed opportunity, I think I can live with it. 

Believe it or not, I have some other stories in the works right now. No idea when I'll be bringing those out though. So for now, I hope you liked this story. I don't necessarily play favorites with my own work anymore, but counting the original story with this, this is my longest story by far. So obviously I liked something about this story. As always, let me know what you think. Thank you again, so much.

Thanks so much once again. Like i said, no plans currently for any follow-ups. Sorry, more follow-ups as this is a follow-up I will say I had a little idea or two here and there, but nothing that could really sustain more than a short one short or something like that. If i get the inspiration I might make an attempt. But right now I'm happy with where the story is. Hopefully that's not too terrible of news for you Goodnight and thanks for sticking with this story for so long.

no planned follow up i.pinimg.com/originals/9a/57/85/9a5785990ff1dc2e719753ff482d008f.gif

it is a good ending
and would rather you only wrote a follow up to the story if you felt that you had something and felt inspired to write
