The kingdom of Canterlot was celebrating, not only because they had won the battle against King Sombra, but because a new ruler had been born, although he wasn't of their world.

Littlefoot was right now inside a room looking at himself in the mirror, he was wearing a gala suit, it was a little difficult for him to get used to wearing clothes, but that wasn't what worried him, in his head there were still many questions about what he would do now that he was the prince of dinosaurs, he couldn't ask for help from his grandparents or his friends, since, surely, they wouldn't know anything about the situation.

His train of thought stopped when someone knocked on the door. Littlefoot looked at the door.

"Go ahead." said Littlefoot.

The door opened, revealing that the caller was Twilight in a gala dress.

"Littlefoot, are you ready? You'll be out soon." Twilight said with a smile, but left when she saw her friend's worried expression. "What are you worried about?" she asked.

Littlefoot thought for a moment, Twilight before was a unicorn who became a princess without realizing it, surely had the same doubts as him. So, if there was anyone who could help him with his doubts, it would be her.

"Twilight, can I tell you something?" asked Littlefoot.

"Of course, I can. You can tell me anything." Twilight said confidently.

"The thing is... I don't know if I'm ready to be a prince." Littlefoot began, making Twilight look at him confused. "I'm still a kid, I don't know how to be a leader of a herd and it turns out I'm now the leader of all dinosaurs." he continued before taking a long sigh. "I'm very confused and nervous. This is all new to me."

Twilight looked at him with great sorrow. It was true. Unlike her, he was still very young and didn't have much knowledge about being a prince. I didn't know how to help him with that, but she could give him some advice.

"You know? I felt the same way when I became a princess." Twilight started getting Littlefoot's attention. "When I became a princess, I was very confused, I didn't know how to act. At first I was between being Twilight Sparkle or the princess of Equestria, but I realized that I can be both with the help of my friends. One day I even questioned my role in Equestria, but thanks to my friends and many other ponies, I understood that my role was to be the princess of friendship." Twilight said, recounting her past experiences as a novice princess.

"But in my world there have never been princes or princesses, I wouldn't know what to do and I don't know if the other dinosaurs would agree with it." said Littlefoot still nervous.

"Just because there are no princes, doesn't mean there aren't any more. Yes, you are a prince, but as such, you can make decisions that work for all your subjects. If, according to you, it's okay that there are no princes in your world, then don't act like one, it's still the good, funny longneck I knew and am lucky enough to call a friend." Twilight said, expressing her opinion in the best way.

Littlefoot thought about it for a moment. It was true. In his world there were never princes or princesses, the dinosaurs lived in several herds quietly, without all following a single leader. Why start now when I could follow everything as it was before?

"You're right, my world doesn't need princes. A prince must make decisions for the sake of his subjects, don't he? I think the best thing for dinosaurs is that there is no prince to rule them. I may be a prince, but I will always be Littlefoot, a longneck of the Great Valley." Littlefoot said with a big smile on his face.

"That's what I expected to hear from you." Twilight said with a smile. "Come on, the others are waiting for us."

"Well, let's not make them wait any longer." said Littlefoot, his spirits up.

"Oh, before we go." Twilight began before punching him in the paw, for Littlefoot's pain. "This is for scaring me." she said as Littlefoot shook his sore leg, surprised when Twilight kissed him on the cheek. "And this is to save me." Twilight quickly left the room before Littlefoot said anything.

The longneck was a little surprised by the act, but he set it aside to follow it to where the celebration was happening.

Meanwhile, at the door leading into the celebration hall was the Mane 6 with the gang, all of them wearing elegant costumes and dresses.

"Why do we have to wear these things?" asked Cera, scratching her dress a little due to the discomfort of wearing clothes.

"Don't worry, it won't be for long." Applejack said, agreeing with her that she wasn't comfortable with that style of clothing.

"It's a celebration for your friend, you have to be dazzling." Rarity said.

"I love these dresses. Yep, yep, yep." said Ducky looking at her and Ruby's dress.

"Well, me not be convinced to wear clothes." Petrie said.

"It's the first time you've worn clothes, you'll get used to it over time." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah, we don't wear clothes all the time either." Spike said.

Spike looked curiously at his suit, even intending to bite him to see if it was food, but Fluttershy stopped him.

"Hey, girls! Here they come." said Pinkie Pie pointing to the end of the aisle where Littlefoot and Twilight were approaching.

"How does it feel to be a prince?" asked Chomper.

"It feels different, but it's not bad." Littlefoot said.

"Do we have to follow your orders now?" asked Ruby.

"No need. Even if I'm a prince, I'll always be your friend." said Littlefoot, calm with the situation. That made the gang smile at the idea of not treating their friend differently.

"It's time." said Twilight.

When everyone walked through the door, they found hundreds of ponies sitting, leaving a corridor for them to pass through. Among the crowd were ponies that the gang didn't recognize, but half were ponies they met in their time in Ponyville. In front of the crowd was a platform where the princesses of Equestria met.

The gang and the Mane 6 walked quietly down the aisle to the platform where they turned in the direction of the crowd.

"Today, we are all gathered here to celebrate, not only the victory against King Sombra for the Crystal Empire, but also for the appointment of the prince of dinosaurs, Littlefoot." Celestia began. "This is a day in which two completely different worlds will be united, not by a portal or by someone, but by something much more powerful; friendship.

When she finished that speech, with her magic, she uncovered a window, revealing a new image in which, at the bottom, the gang was seen in ring formation, with Littlefoot, in his new form, in the center, all of them carrying their elements and Mane 6 on both sides of the formation; and, at the top, King Sombra was seen being struck by the multicolored ray that Littlefoot shot from his horn.

All the ponies gave a lot of applause and cheers before the new prince and the victory they had over the enemy. The Mane 6 was proud of their friends, at first they wanted them on the sidelines because they considered the situation too dangerous for them, but the opposite was proved when they fought together against the shadow ponies (who were freed from the control of King Sombra after his defeat) and when they were the ones who defeated the dark unicorn with their new power.

The gang was happy to receive praise, they had done many things for the Great Valley, but they never expected to receive as much praise as they were receiving now. No doubt that would be a day they would never forget, the day they were recognized as...heroes.

Later, the celebration party was happening. It was bigger than when the gang arrived in Ponyville, for there were ponies from there, from Canterlot and from the Crystal Empire. All of them were having fun with each other, even those who were from different kingdoms, just like them, the gang was having fun in their own way.

Cera was hanging out with Fluppy Heart playing as if they were both sisters, even when the little alicorn was casting a spell by accident, both were still having fun. Ducky, Spike, Chomper and Ruby were having fun, playing with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, running all over the area. Petrie was flying through the area along with Rainbow Dash and other pegasos that Rainbow Dash presented as the Wonderbolts, together, were performing acrobatics that caught the attention of some, the pegasos had to slow down for Petrie to follow the rhythm, but they didn't care, because he was a great friend. Littlefoot was sitting at a table with the princesses of Equestria, telling each other several stories about adventures lived in the past, recent events, etc..

Undoubtedly, that party demonstrated the strong union that the dinosaurs formed with the ponies, a union that would be maintained for a long time and that could be carried out thanks to a certain longneck.

The next day, it was the moment, the most awaited moment since the party night, the moment when the gang returned to their world. As Celestia told them shortly before the ceremony, Littlefoot was now a high-level magic user and, being from another world, could use his magic to open a portal to his world. The gang burst into euphoria when they learned they could return home to their families, the Mane 6 was happy for them, but both groups mentally knew that meant they would have to say goodbye again.

In the entrance courtyard of the palace was the gang on one side and the Mane 6 on the other. Each of them said goodbye to the other.

"Take Rarity, I'll give it back to you," said Ruby handing to the fashion pony the dress she made over.

"Normally I would refuse someone to give me back something I gave away, but when it comes to you, I can make an exception." said Rarity taking the dress with her magic.

"I told you before that dinosaurs don't wear clothes, like I told you before." said Ruby.

"I know, but I'll keep them for future cases. You never know. I'll even have some new clothes for you." Rarity said.

"Thank you, Rarity. Rarity, thank you." Ruby said.

"So how does it feel to know you can use magic?" Spike asked his reptilian friend.

"The usual, although I don't know how to cast spells." said Chomper.

"Don't worry, now that Littlefoot is a powerful magician, you can learn a lot from him and if you have any doubts, you can come here and ask Twilight." Spike said.

"That's right." Chomper said.

Spike was getting a big hug from Pinkie Pie, which released tears like a fountain.

"Ohhhh! I don't want you to go, Spike! I know we'll see each other again, but it's still so sad!" screamed Pinkie Pie.

Spike said nothing and gave her a lick, interrupting Pinkie's torrent of tears.

"Oh, I'll miss you too!" Pinkie Pie said as she suffocated the spiketail.

"You know what, Petrie? You don't fight so badly for being so small." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes, me know how to fight." Petrie said as he waved his arm with his fist closed in a circle, only to end up hitting his own chin, falling on Rainbow Dash's leg.

"Good hook, but next time, aim for the opponent." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes." Petrie said, laughing nervously at the shame of that.

"I'm going to miss you, Ducky." Fluttershy said as she hugged Ducky gently.

"Don't be sad, Fluttershy. We are friends and friends stay together. Yep, yep, yep." said Ducky.

"You're right." Fluttershy said.

"Who knew you'd carry the element of sincerity." Applejack said.

"You see, surprise is something we threehorns know how to do." Cera said with a proud attitude.

"Are you sure about that?" Applejack asked with a mischievous smile.

"I've done it, haven't I?" Cera said, causing a laugh between the two of them.

"Then, again, this is goodbye." said Littlefoot sadly at this farewell.

"Maybe, but if Celestia is right, you can use your magic to come back here whenever you want." Twilight said, recalling what Celestia mentioned.

"Yeah. Plus, I need you to show me some spells." said Littlefoot.

"I'll be happy to show you, and Chomper too, of course." said Twilight.

"But what do I do with this." said Littlefoot pointing to his horn and wings. "I'm not sure the valley dinosaurs will accept this new look."

Twilight looked at him for a moment and realized it was true, surely the other dinosaurs would see him as a freak, and that would be bad for the young longneck. However, she came up with something that might help him.

"I have an idea. For your first magic lesson, try modifying your look." Twilight said.

"How do I do that?" Littlefoot asked.

"Just focus on your original look, the one you had before you transformed." Twilight said, ending the magic class.

Littlefoot listened to what she said and closed his eyes to concentrate on what he looked like, a simple form of a longneck with no horn and no wings. A few seconds passed before a glow covered Littlefoot and, when it faded, he had returned to his previous appearance, with no horn on his head and no wings on his back.

"Incredible! It worked!" said Littlefoot joyfully as he regained his old look.

"I knew you'd make it." Twilight said happily for her friend.

After a few more minutes of farewell, the gang prepared to return to their world. Concentrating, Littlefoot threw a magic beam that opened a portal through which one could see the cave they were in before reaching that world.

Both groups took a last look at each other before the gang began to cross the portal. When the last of them crossed it, the portal closed. It was a sad moment because they had said goodbye to their friends, but inside they knew they would see each other again someday and, thanks to the magic of Littlefoot, that 'someday' could come sooner than expected. Without a doubt, this would be an adventure that neither the gang nor the Mane 6 would ever forget.

AN: Thank you all very much for reading and following this story. Again, thanks to 'Laci The Hunter' for writing the first part and allowing me to rewrite the second part. The gang will have more adventures apart from this one, stay tuned and you'll see what they will be.
