EPILOGUE: THE AFTERMATH
Having decided not to attend the Gala, Spike went to his favorite donut shop, and he'd eaten a large number of donuts by this point. Having just finished his current donut and waved to the owner, a light yellow unicorn named Pony Joe.
"Hey, Pony Joe," he called out, banging his hot chocolate on the counter. "Another donut."
Pony Joe walked over with an uncertain expression on his face. "Don't you think you've had enough?" he asked.
"Another donut!" the baby dragon snapped, banging his hot chocolate again. "Extra sprinkles!" And he rested his elbows on the counter, a glum expression on his face.
Just then, the door to the shop opened, ringing the bell, and Pony Joe brightened when he saw the Mane Seven entered, recognizing the twins instantly. "Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom!" he exclaimed. "Ha, ha. Long time no see."
Spike hopped off the stool and hurried over to the ponies, who were all looking the worst for wear. "Hey, how was the Gala?" he asked eagerly. "How was your best night ever?"
A few hours later, the ponies were gathered around a table, having eaten donuts, and they were just finished up telling the baby dragon about what had happen at the Gala.
"That sounds like the worst night ever!" Spike exclaimed, shocked.
"It was!" the Mane Seven agreed and then they burst out laughing, already feeling better, and finding the humor in the chaos that had occurred.
Twilight Sparkle calmed down and her expression turned from happy to concern. "I just hope Princess Celestia isn't upset with us for ruining the Gala."
Just then, Princess Celestia entered the donut shop. "That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!" she declared, surprising them.
"Princess Celestia!" the group exclaimed, surprised to see her there.
"Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful," Twilight Sparkle pointed out.
"And we left your castle in chaos," Sunrise Blossom added, exchanging a confused look with her twin.
Still smiling, Princess Celestia walked over to the table. "Oh, Twilight, Sunrise," she said kindly. "The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful."
The twins blinked. "It is?"
"That is why I was thrilled you were all attending," Princess Celestia explained. "I was hoping you could liven things up a bit. And while the evening may not have gone as you planned, I'm sure you'll agree that in the end it didn't turn out so bad for this group of friends."
"You're right, Princess," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "Friends have a way of making even the worst of times into something pretty great."
"And that we all ended up here is pretty great," Sunrise Blossom agreed.
Rainbow Dash grinned. "Yeah! Hanging out with friends!"
"Talking!" said Fluttershy happily.
"Laughing!" Pinkie Pie cheered, waving her forelegs in the air.
"You mean doing exactly what I wanted to do the whole time?" Spike guessed with a sly look.
"Yes, Spike," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "You were right."
Applejack nodded. "As horrible as our night was…" she began.
"…being together here has made it all better," Rarity concluded.
"In fact, it's made it…" Pinkie Pie began and her friends joined in "…the best night ever!" And they all laughed, including Princess Celestia.
After having more donuts with the group before seeing them off in their carriage back to Ponyville, Princess Celestia returned to the castle to supervise the clean up and repairs needed while the frazzled ponies all headed back to their respective homes throughout Equestria. Once the cleaning and repairs were underway, she checked on her nephew, who was curled up on his bed, whimpering about how horrible the night had been, and she just shook her head.
'Hopefully, Blueblood will have learned an important lesson from tonight's events,' Princess Celestia thought, entering her study, 'but I doubt it somehow.' She had done everything she could to ensure that her and Princess Luna's nephew grew up to be a strong and well-behaved stallion, but despite her best efforts, he turned out a snob instead.
Pushing the thoughts about her snobbish nephew aside, Princess Celestia turned her attention to some paperwork that she needed to finish while glancing out the window toward the garden maze, which had been off-limit for the party, and to the collection of statues on the other side of the maze. She knew that not all of the statues were statues, and that one of them was actually a dangerous creature that she and her sister had defeated thousands of year ago.
'I don't know why I'm thinking of that creature, but it's locked away, and it won't ever be freed,' Princess Celestia thought as she finished the paperwork and headed off to bed.
A/N: Well, she thought that the Mane Seven were heading back to Ponyville, but they're gonna end up on an unexpected adventure instead as it turns out.
R&R everyone!
