Hi! Hyena King here! What can I say? This is going to wrap up the story, which is basically the same way in the episode except with a surprise ending, sort of. So, without further ado, here's chapter 10!

And so, peace was restored. The buffalo let the settler ponies keep their trees in exchange for a share in their apple pies. At the same time, The settler ponies cleared enough of the land for the buffalo to run through on their traditional stampeding grounds. Thunder watched these proceedings alongside Twilight.

"I wonder why they didn't just think of this in the first place?" Thunder said after a bit. "I,m not sure, but I learned something from this," Twilight replied. "I,m going to put it in a letter to Princess Celestia. Want to hear it."

"I would be honored." Thunder said with a smile. Twilight cleared her throat, then proceeded to present her lesson.

"Dear Princess Celestia. Friendship is a wondrous and powerful thing. Even the worst of enemies can become friends. You need understanding and compromise. You've got to share; you've got to care."

At the conclusion of this, Pinkie suddenly appeared in front of them. "Hey! That's what I said!" Pinkie said angrily. "Yes, you did." Thunder said in a gentle voice. "Only difference is, you said it through a horrible performance that caused a war that could have destroyed both sides." Pinkie didn't respond, unsure of what to say.

Meanwhile, Applejack, Rainbow, and Lightning stood beholding Bloomburg, who had been returned and planted in the orchard. "Well, this is your big moment Bloomburg." Applejack said with happiness radiating off her. "Ma and Pa are so proud of you." At this, tears suddenly started to stream down Lightning's face as he looked upon the tree he had help grow. Rainbow looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you crying?" She asked, a bit of laughter in her voice. "No," Lightning responded, "I just ate a bunch of onions earlier." Lightning continued to cry, Applejack putting her leg around his shoulders in support.

Later, Thunder and Lightning where heading towards the end of the orchard, a place where they planned to meet Braeburn and Strongheart. Their intention, at the behest of Rainbow and Applejack, was to apologize to them for trying to hook them up to ensure peace.

"You think that they'll accept our apology after what we did?" Lightning asked as they rounded a bend to reach their chosen destination. "Don't worry I,m sure-" Whatever he was about to say was lost as he looked forward, his eyes wide, his mouth agape in shock. Lightning looked at him with a raised eyebrow, then adopted the same look when he followed his brother's gaze.

There, right where they agreed to meet, were Braeburn and Strongheart. Only, they were embraced in a passionate kiss. They broke off when they noticed the pegasi gawking at them. They then smiled at each other and walked up to the brothers. "Apology accepted." The pair said to the stunned pegasi. Then, sharing a wink, Braeburn and Strongheart walked away together, leaving Thunder and Lightning gawking at them the whole while.

So, there you have it. I told you that this would have eventual BraeburnxStrongheart, though probably not the way you wanted it. Just a little announcement, I'll no longer accept requests for season one episode story ideas as I have two more already thought of. They will be "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" and "The best night ever." I will also be attempting my first crossover. All these stories will all feature Thunder and Lightning, as you already know. So, stay tuned for more stories later on. R&R please!
