Prism and Glimmer

       A young alicorn mare squirmed as an older alabaster unicorn mare took measurements and wrote them down.  Once that was down, she brought over multiple fabrics and held them to her dark blue body.  The alicorn blew a strand of rainbow mane out of her eyes and sighed.  Her sister sat on the other side of the room and giggled.  The white alicorn had a large grin on her face as she watched her sister sit still for the designer.

     "Seriously, Prism.  You're even harder to get a dress on then your mother was." said Rarity as she held up a few pre-maid dresses.  Rarity noticed the distant look in Prism's eyes and mentally scolded herself.  "Oh, I'm sorry dear.  I keep forgetting how much you don't remember of them."  Prism smiled at her.

    "No, it's okay, Mrs. Rarity.  Seeing as what I'm about to learn from my grandparents after the coronation, I'm sure we will learn more."  Rarity smiled.  Prism and Glimmer, who are now 28 and young alicorns themselves, were about to be coronated as princesses and, quiet possibly, fill in Celestia and Luna's horse shoes when they step down.  It was only a rumor, but she wouldn't be surprised.

     "Yeah, besides, we still have Tia and Lulu to go to if we want to know more, as well as you four girls." said Glimmer, giving Rarity a huge smile.  "Oh, do you think Fluttershy is ready with the music?"  Rarity smiled

     "My wife is more then ready and she promised it would be great.  You two have nothing to worry about, deary."  Prism looked distant again and gave a sad smile.

     "Do you think our moms will be proud of us." she asked, looking out the window and into the day sky.

     "Of course they wold.  Twilight and Rainbow would feel like the happiest parents in the world if they saw their daughters become princesses themselves."  Prism smiled and kept gazing out the window.

      "So, how was Morpha's coronation, Chryssy?" asked Celestia as she held her wife in her hooves.  Chrysalis chosen a successor and stepped down a few days ago.  She still lived in the castle and held power, just not as she used to.

     "It was alright.  The poor dear as shaken up and is still trying to get used to her new alicorn form."  Luna chuckled.  She was single again.  Twilight was not the only one to lose her wife that day.  Luna found Trixie's body in her room when she was finally able to get to it.  Her sister provided the same comfort she had after Twilight's death.

    "Yes, I remember having to teach Glimmer how to fly and Tia didn't fair better in her teachings of magic with Prism.  Thankfully, they are now both well trained that I feel safe leaving things to them."  Celestia nodded.

    "It only took us this long to find someone to take our places." joked Celestia.  The three alicorns chuckled.  Once they stopped silence elapsed over them.  Luna finally broke the silence.

    "Do you think we should wait before leaving?"  The others looked at her for a second before going into thought.  Celestia looked up at her.

     "I think, it's for the best they learn on their own.  We already left hints and tips for them so they should be set."  She looked out the window and smiled.  Tonight, she would lower the sun for the last time, and tomorrow, she will raise it for the last.  "I will see you soon my daughters."

       Prism stood next to her sister in her light blue dress.  She wore crystal hoof guards and her hair was tied back.  Rarity mumbled how difficult rainbow hair was to work with when she was doing her mane.  Glimmer stood next to her in a light pink dress with her dark purple hair tied in a bun.  Glimmer looked over at her sister and giggled.

       "Your mane looks funny, you know that?"  Prism glared at her.

      "Hey, it's not my fault I have a rainbow mane!" she fired back.

       "Well, you better get a liking to that mane knowing who gave it to you."  Prism and Glimmer turned around to see their sister walk up to them.  The fifty year old Pegasus still wore the same cocky grin as she always had.

      "I thought you were going to be with the Wonderbolts tonight.  They are doing a show tomorrow in honor of the coronation today." said Glimmer, walking up to the orange mare.  Scootaloo shook her head.

     "I'm in my fifties.  Try to break me some other time."  Glimmer giggled and hugged her older sister.  Prism came in from behind and tackled the two to the ground in a bear hug.  They slowly got up and brushed themselves off.  Scootaloo looked at the clock and sighed.

     "Well, I better get in the crowd.  You two need to get ready to go out there."  She turned around and started to leave.  "Oh, and your mane looks funny, Pris."  Prism stuck out her younger at the older mare as she exited the room.  She sighed and turned to her twin.

     "You ready for this?"  Glimmer laughed.

     "Nope but we got no choice."  Prism chuckled and hugged her sister.

     "Well, it can't be that bad."

       "I can't believe you actually stepped down!" shouted Glimmer.  The coronation was over and they were currently relaxing in one of the rooms I the castle.  Celestia sighed and shook her head at her.  Both Prism and Glimmer were not exactly keen on the idea of the two stepping down.

       "Like I said, our time is over and we need someone to take our spot.  That's why I taught you how to raise the sun." she said pointing her horn at Glimmer.  "And Luna taught you how to raise the moon, paint the sky, and enter and change dreams." she said pointing her horn at Prism.  "You two are to take over for us."

      "But what will you do now?" asked Prism.  The three elder alicorns smiled sadly.

     "Now we pass." said Chrysalis as she nuzzled into Celestia.  Celestia stroked the changeling's mane gently.

     "Pass?" repeated Glimmer.  Luna nodded.

     "Pass on."  The twins eyes grew wide as they realized what they meant.

     "But you can't leave us to rule Equestria by ourselves!" yelled Prism.  Celestia put a hoof on the mare's shoulder.  She gave her a warm smile.

     "The three of us have lived over a thousand years.  We have seen many go by, including my daughters, and its our time to pass.  It's something we want to do."  Glimmer tackled Celestia in a bear hug, Prism did the same to Luna.

    "We will miss you." said Glimmer.  Celestia stroked her mane.

    "You have the ability to enter the dream realm and meet us there.  Non will be completely lost." said Luna as she stroked Prism's rainbow mane.  She lifted the dark alicorn off of her while Celestia did the same to Glimmer.  The three elder alicorns stood.

     "I think it's time." said Celestia.  She gave the younger alicorns a final hug, Luna did the same.  With that, the three alicorns glowed in their aura.  The light grew to the point where it was nothing but.   The light dispersed and three colored wisps flew out of the window and towards the darkening sky.  Yellow, indigo, and green.  The color of the three former princesses.  Later that year, three memorials would be placed by the two existing ones in the memorial gardens.
