CHAPTER FOUR: REUNION OF THE SISTERS

When the light faded, the seven ponies were sprawled on the stone floor, unconscious. After several minutes, they began regaining consciousness one-by-one.

Rainbow Dash groaned and rubbed her head with one hoof since it was aching. "Ugh, my head."

"Everypony okay?" Applejack inquired as they all worked on getting back on their hooves, and got confirming responses.

Rarity checked herself over and saw that her tail had grown back. "Oh, thank goodness."

"Why Rarity, it's so lovely," Fluttershy complimented.

"I know!" Rarity agreed, waving her tail about before nuzzling it. "I'll never part with it again."

Fluttershy shook her head. "No. Your necklace," she said, nodding to the gold necklace around the white unicorn's neck, which had a diamond-shaped purple gem in the center. "It looks just like your cutie mark."

"What?" Rarity looked at the necklace and then at her own cutie mark and saw that she was right. "Ooh. So does yours," she added, pointing to the yellow pegasus' own necklace, which had a butterfly-shaped pink gem in the center, and Fluttershy gasped with surprised delight.

Applejack was admiring her necklace, which had an apple-shaped orange gem on it, and Pinkie Pie was bouncing around with her necklace and its balloon-shaped blue gem on it. "Look at mine! Look at mine!"

"Aw yeah," said Rainbow Dash, grinning at her necklace and its' thunderbolt-shaped red gem.

Sunrise Blossom noted that she and Twilight Sparkle were wearing gold crowns with their cutie marks on them, but they were different: although both were gold, Sunrise Blossom's gem was green while Twilight Sparkle's was purple, and both were also inland with blue opals. "Odd, we got crowns instead of necklaces."

"It is a little odd," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "But we did, and we have the Elements of Harmony."

"Gee, Twilight!" Applejack exclaimed. "I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship."

`"Indeed you do,"` said a female voice and the ponies turned to one of the windows, just as an orb of bright light rose like the sun, flew through the broken window, and landed before them, disappearing to reveal Princess Celestia.

While the five ponies all bowed, Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom ran to greet their teacher. "Princess Celestia!"

"Twilight Sparkle, and Sunrise Blossom, my faithful students," said the Princess, hugging them both with one foreleg. "I knew you both could do it."

"But… you told me it was all an old pony tale," Twilight Sparkle reminded her.

"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more," Princess Celestia corrected her gently. "I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well. Princess Luna!"

Confused, the ponies turned to the thrones and their jaws dropped in amazement when they saw, sprawled among the remains of the armor that Nightmare Moon had wore, a Alicorn with dark blue skin, dark blue wings, cyan-colored eyes, and sapphire blue mane and tail.

Princess Luna blinked and when she saw both Princess Celestia and the seven ponies, she gasped fearfully.

"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this," Princess Celestia said sternly as she approached the dark blue Alicorn. "Time to put our differences behind us," she added in a gentle tone as she knelt before her. "We were meant to rule together, little sister."

"Sister?" the seven ponies exclaimed, exchanging shocked looks. The former Nightmare Moon was Princess Celestia's sister?!

"Will you accept my friendship?" Princess Celestia offered, keenly aware that the seven ponies were leaning in close to hear the answer and did hear Pinkie Pie fall over.

Princess Luna stared at her sister for a long moment before she gave her answer. "I'm so sorry!" she wailed, clinging to her older sister. "I missed you so much, big sister!"

"I've missed you, too," Princess Celestia agreed, hugging her little sister close for the first time in a thousand years.

Pinkie Pie blew her nose in a cloth as she started crying. "Hey, you know what this calls for?" she asked, no longer said. "A party!"

Soon enough they were all back in Ponyville, where the ponies were celebrating both the raising of the summer sun and the defeat of Nightmare Moon, and Princess Luna, who was expecting the ponies to keep far away from her, was pleasantly surprised when two pegasus fillies hung a wreath of red/white roses around her neck.

Happy to have her sister back, Princess Celestia noted that Twilight Sparkle was looking downcast, despite everything she'd done to help save them all. "Why so glum, my faithful student?" she inquired, going over to her. "Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?"

"That's just it," Twilight Sparkle confessed, looking over at her sister and their friends. "Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them."

Princess Celestia smiled, realizing that her student had indeed learned something quite valuable and that she didn't want to give it up. "Spike, take a note, please," she requested and Spike, who'd been thrilled to see them all alive and safe, got out a piece of parchment and a quill. "I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville." And the ponies all cheered.

"Oh thank you, Princess Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed as she was hugged by her friends and her twin sister. "I'll study harder than ever before."

Pinkie Pie broke off the hug and began bouncing around excitedly. "Isn't this exciting?" she asked them. "Are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I went" she did the deep gasp "but I mean really-" And was cut off when Sunrise Blossom stuffed a cupcake into her mouth.

"Yes, we get it that you're excited, Pinkie," said Sunrise Blossom with a chuckle. "Come on, let's celebrate!"

And for the rest of the day, the seven ponies, or Mane 7 as they would be forever known as, celebrated with the rest of Ponyville.
