Finally the day was here everypony had waited for: THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA!

The six mares stood in their dresses at the entrance to the Grand Galloping Gala; eyes and mouths wide in exceptional joy and excited happiness. Rarity had given the dresses of both Twilight and Rainbow a few revisions to determine if there was any way to give them a more “partner'y” look. Then she had the idea of using the simplest means for the greatest impression, and asked Rainbow for two of her feathers. Now both Twilight and Rainbow carried a feather around their necks just above their hearts on a necklace; Twilight a blue, and Rainbow a purple feather.

Rainbow had grown used to having purple feathers in her wings and Twilight to having a blue streak instead of a pink one in her hair, as had everypony else. Compared to where they were now, it wasn't anything important or worthy of mention. Right now, the ponies were all shaking in impatient anticipation. Twilight couldn't wait to speak with the princess again as she had much to talk about her friendship and love with Rainbow and the others. Rainbow felt her wings tingle at the thought of speaking with the Wonderbolts, letting them admire her unique wings and awesome abilities.

The others had their plans for this evening as well: Rarity wanted to go and find her prince Charming, Fluttershy wanted to befriend Celestia's animals in the park, Applejack wanted to make money by selling her apple products, and Pinkie Pie just wanted to party and have fun. Only Spike's plan was a bit different from theirs, and he was about to find out why it was never a good idea to have seven plans for one party.

"Yeah! This is gonna be the best night ever. You know why? Cause we're all gonna spend time at the Gala to... gether." Spike looked behind him to see the girls gone. Dejected, he looked to the ground. "Or not. Well, guess that means it's just me and some donuts at Pony Joe's place. With extra sprinkles!"

While Spike was pouting about the girls each spending their evening alone, Twilight and Rainbow had found a place for them to be alone for a quick exchange for some sensual kisses.

"Hmm, do you want to meet up somewhere private when you’ve finished talking with the Princess?"

"I'd love to, Rainbow. Aw, but what about the Wonderbolts?"

"Eh, while you talk to the Princess, I'll use my awesome social skills to make the Wonderbolts ask me to spend the entire evening with them. And then I will say that I have to go 'cause my beautiful girlfriend is waiting for some Dash time. Oh yeah, that will be so cool~"

"Dash time, really?" deadpanned Twilight, though her grin betrayed her thoughts. Rainbow responded with a smirk and nuzzled Twilight's cheek, whispering into her twitching ear.

"Well, it will be the most exciting time at the party, just with the two of us. Mostly because it's not like anything great will happen tonight anyway. Except with the Wonderbolts begging me to join their team, that is."

Twi chuckled and agreed, even the time spent talking with Princess Celestia would pale compared to what she and Rainbow would do in one of the royal closets. After another short kiss they left for their meetings with the Wonderbolts and Princess, thinking one thought together, also sharing it; unbeknownst to them, as their four friends were separated around the party:

This gonna be the best night ever!

They had no idea what kind of evening, and new lesson in friendship, they were in for.

Author's Note

Many thanks to Neuromancer65 for proofreading this epilogue, my shortest chapter so far. Also many thanks for Ody to always be there to jump into the breach and to proofread everything that needed proofreading. You two are awesome editorsalves and your master is very pleasend with you! ;3
Big thanks goes to Oddheart as well for always proofreading my descriptions and explaining me why what is not right or change the weird sentences into better worded ones to make more sense. :)

This must by my shortest chapter I ever wrote. And I like it. I wrote as a short apologize to Dashie98 so that he got at least a couple more hundred words to read. Sorry it wasn't more than that, maybe in the future I'll have the time to write a 50k+ or 100k+ fic and then you can read it and criticize it for all you like. :D

And this chapter was also important to link back to the first chapter with the first mention of the GGG as well as to give it a conclusive ending since the GGG was also the timelimit during the chapters. Plus this chapter acts as a transition back to the MLP series. Sure, with RD having purple feathers in her usually full blue wings and Twi having a cerulean (RD's coat color btw if you didn't guessed it already) streak in her mane and tail instead of a pink one. Oh and the two are a couple now. XD
But all in all they will go back to the adventures and happenings of S2 and S3 and the incoming S4. I liked the thought that I could begin and end the fic with references to an episode of S1 and the GGG was just a perfect fit for that.

Now I want to thank everyone who readed this fic, favorite this fic, liked this fic, disliked this fic, commented on this fic and hopefully enjoyed this fic. This was my first fic where I got a vast response from my readers (at least much bigger than in my other stories so far^^) and I was really happy to see that there were people who gave it some thoughts what might happen next or who told me to hurry the **** up and write the next chapter or who just told me that they loved this fic/chapter. XD

I hope that I can write more stories in the future you can enjoy reading and that I improve my talents as author to give you better and more interesting stories. Thank you very much for reading. :)
