[Luna, with her blue mane and tail waving like her sister's, appears]
Princess Luna
[booming voice] Citizens of Ponyville! We have graced your tiny village with our presence, so that you might behold the real princess of the night! A creature of nightmares no longer, but instead a pony who desires your love and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration into a bright and glorious feast!
[lightning, thunder]
[Princess Celestia, a white alicorn with a green, blue and pink wavy mane and tail, graduates Twilight]
Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.
TTwilight
But...you told me it was all an old pony tale.
I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. 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.
[Twilight smiles at her friends]
Now if only another will as well.
[Reveal that Nightmare Moon has transformed back into Luna, a dark blue alicorn with short blue hair]
[Luna wakes up and gasps]
It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.
TSTwilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash
Sister?
Will you accept my friendship?
[Long pause.]
Luna
I’m so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister.
’’’Gaunson: yeah me too Luna though I’ll except your friendship.
Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
TTwilight
That’s just it. Just when I learn how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.
Spike, take a note, please. [Spike writes something as she dictates.] "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!"
[Twilight's friends gather around her.]
TTwilight
Oh, thank you, Princess Celestia! I’ll study harder than ever before!
[Round of applause.]
Isn’t this exciting? Are you excited? ’Cause I’m excited, I’ve never been so excited! Well, except for the time that I went— [gasps] But I mean, really...
Princess Luna? Hi, my name is-
Luna
Star Swirl the Bearded. Commendable costume! Thou even got the bells right...
Thank you, finally! Somepony who gets my costume! You kinda sound like you're yelling at me.
Luna
But this is the traditional royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak using the Royal "we", and to use [louder and echoed] This much volume when addressing our subjects!
Don't worry, Princess. Fluttershy can give you some great pointers. She's delicate and demure with the sweetest little voice. [knocks on door]
[loudly and echoed] Go away! No candy here! Visitors are not welcome on Nightmare Night!
[nervous laughter] Fluttershy, it's me, Twilight!
It is you. Oh, and Nightmare Moon. [gasp] Nightmare Moon?! Aaah! [slams the door]
[another nervous laughter] Wait right here.
[various noises]
Fluttershy... you remember Princess Luna?
Luna
[booming voice throughout the scene] Charmed.
[Fluttershy zooms away in fear, but Twilight levitates her back]
Luna
Twilight Sparkle hath spoken of the sweetness of thy voice. We ask thou teachest to us to speak as thou speakest.
Luna
Shall our lessons begin?
Luna
Shall we mimic thy voice?
Luna
How is this?
[hurriedly] Perfect, lesson over!
[Fluttershy zooms away but Twilight slams the door on her]
A little quieter, princess.
Luna
[booming voice] How is... [loud voice] this?
Better. Right, Fluttershy?
[nervous, dazed laughter] Yes...
Luna
[loud voice] How... about... now?
Luna
[normal voice] And... how about now?
Luna
[booming voice] I thank thee, deer Fluttershy! Our normal speaking voice shall surely win us the hearts of thy fellow villagers!
Princess, remember! Watch the screaming!
Luna
[Booming voice] No, Twilight Sparkle! We must use the traditional royal Canterlot voice for what we are about to say!
[Twilight looks on in disbelief.]
Luna
[Booming voice] Since you choose to fear your princess rather than love her, and dishonor her with this insulting celebration, we decree that Nightmare Night shall be canceled! FOREVER!!!
[The entire crowd is shocked, so is Twilight.]
[The Tree of Harmony sprouts a bud that blooms, revealing a mysterious crystal box with six keyholes around the side]
What's inside it? How am I supposed to open it?
Princess Luna
Six locks, six keys.
I do not know where they are, but I do know that it is a mystery you will not be solving alone.
BABaby Alicorn
[burbling]
[tired] It looks that way.
But... but... but I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!
Yeah. How can you just be born with them?
The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!
Luna
It is beyond even our understanding.
[hushed] That's not very reassuring.
Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic.
Starlight and Luna: Something is wrong!
[wind blows]
A dream? This is another dream!
Luna
[whispering] Starlight Glimmer!
Luna
Starlight Glimmer!
Princess Luna, where are you?
Luna
Starlight, there is no time! You must get help!
What? What are you talking about? This is just a dream!
Luna
Not here! In the waking world! They've taken my sister and I! It's worse than the last time! Your dream called to me, and I was able to break through! You must find help!
What are you saying?! Who's taken you?!
Luna
Be careful who you trust! You need all the help you can find! The changelings have returned and— [gasps]
Princess Luna! [panting] They're back!
ENOUGH! Because of you, I almost lost my way! But everycreature here has reminded me of the true power of friendship! There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light! [Teleports all the captives to the battleground and begins to glow; the Pillars glow as well] The Pillars knew this! That's why they created the Elements of Harmony! The Elements showed me and my friends how strong our friendship could be! Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria! [Her friends glow and float up] But there will always be more to do! Which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship! [The students glow and float up] Others who will continue our mission after we are gone! Now I truly understand! The Elements were just symbols! The real magic has always been right here! And the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be! Together!
[The three groups fire rainbow beams at Twilight, who fires a rainbow beam of her own to the sky.]
[The beams shines down on the villains, taking their powers away along.]
You think friendship will save you?! We will always return! Nothing will ever stop--!
[splat!]
[rain falling]
[electrical discharge]
Pinkie! You took Discord's magic from the bell? How do you feel?
Hmmm... Tingly. Itchy. Also like... [slam!] I COULD TRANSFORM THE COSMOS SO EVERYTHING IS MADE OF ICING!
Perhaps maybe I should...
[dizzily] Waiter! There's some chaos in my soup!
[reverbarating gong]
There isn't a punishment worthy of all you've done!
[whispering] You know what I would do if I were... [indistinct]
Princess Luna
Oh. That does seem fitting.
[zap!, boom!, crackling]
[The princesses and Discord zap the villains with their magic, turning them to stone.]
Together forever. I can't think of anything that they would want less!
[gulps] Well, at least the coronation is over.
I was just about to say the same thing. I know maybe it wasn't the coronation you planned, but it's good to see all of you laughing.
We wanted to give this to you before you left Ponyville, but things got a little hectic.
Since you're moving away, we thought if you missed any of us or Ponyville, this might help.
And we all chipped in some.
No matter how much things change, you'll always have this to look back on.
I love it. Thank you so much. But I don't want to only look back. Obviously the coronation wasn't perfect, but that doesn't matter. It's our relationships that really count, and we have to maintain them.
But now that we'll be living in different places, I'm not exactly sure how.
I am. I suggest we meet once a moon. In fact, my first royal decree as ruler of Equestria is to establish this Council of Friendship!
MSMane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike
[cheering]
And what a wonderful decree it is!
Princess Luna
We always knew that whatever adversity you faced, you and your friends would find your way through it together.
We know Equestria is in the perfect hooves with you and your friends looking out for it. And while we'll always be here if you need us, it's time for us to be on our way.
Princess Luna
We hope you'll come and visit us in Silver Shoals.
But now it's time for you to rule on your own. You're all more than capable.
Thank you. For everything. Mmmm! [chuckling]
