Chapter 12: Ending to a Friendship Story
After days of refixing the Festival of Friendship, everypony from all over Equestria, and creatures from other cities join in for the celebration
Spike is wearing sunglasses and is holding a microphone.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, get ready for a little…" spike announces through the microphone, slide on the floor and stands up.
Then with light shining on the stage, Spike happily announces, "Songbird Serenade!"
Songbird Serenade spread her wings revealing herself as the crowd cheer for her.
Songbird loudly announces, "And now, to celebrate the fact that we're all still here in one piece, give it up for Princess Twilight, Princess Sun, and all of their friends!"
Everyone begin to clap and cheer with smiles on their faces.
A stallion shouts, "All right! Way to go, guys!"
"Yeah! Ha ha ha ha!" Bulk shouts, strong and loud.
Just then, the light dim, and Songbird has her tail facing the audience.
Songbird Serenade:
I know you, you're a special one
She then turns around to face the audience.
Songbird Serenade:
Some see crazy where I see love
Songbird begins to walk on the stage.
Songbird Serenade:
You fall so low but shoot so high
Big dreamers shoot for open sky
Just then, the light turn on with multiple colors and six ponies with her hair style and colors dance on the stage as Songbird slowly opens her wing one at a time to the music.
Songbird Serenade:
So much life in those open eyes
So much depth, you look for the light
Celaeno and Rainbow give each other hoof/claw bump.
Rarity makes a black cape with matching top hat.
"Ooh!" Capper says, pleased with the work
Rarity puts the hat on, and says, "And perfection!"
Songbird Serenade:
But when your wounds open, you will cry
Pinkie, Sonata, and Pinkie laugh together with smiles on their faces. Skystar turns to see her mother, Queen Novo walking towards them.
Songbird Serenade:
You'll cry out now and you'll question why
Skystar happily says, "Hi mom!"
Skystar and Novo hug each other.
With a grin, Novo says, "You are still so grounded. Then laughs as Skystar opens her eyes in shock.
Songbird Serenade:
I can see a rainbow
A platform of hearts rise up with Songbird on it, and is on a perch. The dancer continues to dance as ponies carrying different color banners flying by.
Songbird Serenade:
In your tears as they fall on down
I can see your soul grow
Through the pain as they hit the ground
Songbird Serenade flies up in the air as sparkles follows behind. Soon, Songbird begins to fly over the audience.
Songbird Serenade:
I can see a rainbow
In your tears as the sun comes out
As the sun comes out
Songbird then flies close to where sun and Princess Twilight are. Then flies away. The two look to see the singer flying around, but something catch their attention. Far behind the crowd is Tempest, she stares at the crowd as everypony else listen to the music. Then walks away a little.
Tempest looks at the night sky and the celebration. Princess Twilight lands on the ground by her while Sun walks to her on her human legs.
Tempest speaks up, "Well, that's one thing that never changes around here. The party."
"Well, I hope you'll stay. More friends are definitely merrier," Princess Twilight says.
Tempest is surprised to hear Princess Twilight saying that.
But Tempest nervously says, looking at her horn, "But, um... my horn."
Princess Twilight calmly says, "You know."
Tempest shuts her eyes, and slowly turns to the princesses.
"Your horn is pretty powerful, just like the pony it belongs to," Princess Twilight complements.
Sun smiles, and says, "She's right, it's not the horn that makes the pony. After all, you were able to do many things with and without it."
Tempest smiles, and says, "I did tell you two I wanted to show everypony in Equestria what I could do, right?"
"I did remember," Sun answers.
Tempest walks ahead of the two, then lights up her horn. She then releases her magic sparks up into the sky. Just then, they exploded into a ball of magical sparks and changes colors.
Songbird Serenade:
I can see a rainbow
In your tears as they fall on down
Then the magic zooms across the sky, exploding to different colors at different locations.
Songbird Serenade:
I can see your soul grow
Through the pain as they hit the ground
The three smile too see the magical fireworks. Tempest is feeling a bit blush, but is happy all the same.
Pinkie comes up from the audience, and happily says, "Nice touch, Tempest!"
"Actually, that's not my real name," Tempest admits.
Happily curious, Pinkie comes up to Tempest, and asks, "Oooh! What is it?!"
Tempest is rather embarrassed about it.
Sonata happily urge, "Come on girl, spill it!"
"I'm curious to know what it is too," Adagio adds.
The girls lean close to Tempest waiting for an answers.
Tempest then whispers to Pinkie, "It's Fizzlepop Berrytwist."
Pinkie gasp with a big smile and stars coming from her eyes.
Pinkie wrap Tempest with her hooves, and happily shouts to the world, "Okay! That is the most awesome name ever!"
Soon the girls start laughing.
Sun voice narrates, "After the party, Tempest and Grubber decided to spread the news about the Storm King's defeat to everyone so no one will live in fear. Everything return to normal in a magical way. And I'm happy to say that the Magic of Friendship is what happend us in the end."
In the living room at Sun's house having some lunch, the human version of the mane six, Wire Wolf, Screwball, and baby Regana clap as sun and the Dazzlings finish the story.
"Great story sis," Screwball complements.
"I like the part when you guys fight alongside with pirates," Rainbow says.
"I like all the music you guys sang," Pinkie adds.
"I definitely like to go underwater as a mermaid. I definitely like to know what it's like to have shimmering fins," Rarity says.
"I like to study marine biology without having to go up to the surface and being a mermaid," Twilight says.
"And see the sea creatures," Fluttershy adds with a smile.
Wire Wolf says, "I have to admit, you and your friends from both worlds have a lot adventures."
"We sure do. And that's just one of the many stories we have," Applejack says.
Twilight asks, "Just curious, is Queen Novo still… a little upset with the other me?"
"Nah. she's over it now. In fact, she allowed all of us to come back anytime. But first, they want to fix up their city after being gone for so long," Aria answers.
Sonata wonders, "I wonder if there's a Queen Novo and Princess Skystar in this world."
"Probably, but they might not be royalty in this world," Adagio answers.
Pinkie sadly says, "I kind of feel bad for Tempest. Losing friends is no fun."
"Yeah. But we agreed to be her friends, and we hope she'll come back for a visit," Sun says.
Then Screwball asks, "Think we can hear another story. I want to hear about the time you had to battle the Pony of Shadows."
Sun giggles, "Again?"
"What? I like that story," Screwball replies.
Suddenly, Pinkie points at the window, "Look! The rain has stopped!"
The gang look out the window to see the rain has stopped, and it's sunny outside.
"Wow! It has stopped raining!" Rainbow surprisingly says.
"And it took a day long story to pass the time," Applejack replies.
Then Screwball asks, "Can we still hear the story?"
"I think it's a good idea. After days of raining, the place is soak and wet," Twilight say.
"I'm alright with another story," Wire Wolf replies.
"Us too," Everyone reply.
Sun giggles, "Alright, I can tell you another story."
Then she begins to tell the story, "On a hot day in Canterlot City…"
