You have my little ponies

They take a picture of the kiss and send it off to Princess Celestia.

The Princess is mildly amused and has a nostalgic smile.

Do you know that Spike is really the best?

Fade to Black.

Laughter continued from Nightmare Moon even though absolutely nopony cared. Twilight looked around at the five mares and one filly who were surrounding her and Spike. She could smell the "Main Character" trait wafting in the air.

"You know girls, if you are that interested in being around me, I think it'd be nice that you help me with fixing this problem."

There was a collective squee from said ponies. All eight of them went to the Golden Oak Library. Twilight explained the situation.

"So, we need to find the Elements of Harmony. These are key to stopping Nightmare Moon who has returned after a now 1000 year banishing. The problem is I don't even know what these are!"

"Here ya go Twilight! A Reference Guide to the Elements of Harmony," Pinkie pulled out the correct book from the bookshelf and handed it over.

"Pinkie where did you find this?" Twilight replied surprised.

"The story must go on~" Pinkie smiled.

Twilight gave a unimpressed look at the camera, then started reading from the book.

"There are six Elements, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty."

Obvious pan across the five other mares in the room.

"The last known location of the Elements is the Castle of the Two Sisters in what is now the Everfree Forest... Hey! Would you look at that? A nice detailed map of the Everfree Forest! At least we won't have to be wandering around aimlessly," Twilight glared at the camera again.

"Well, what are we waiting for? We have a daytime to bring back!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie attempted to dash out of the library, but Twilight used her magic again to hold her back.

"Hey! What gives, Twilight?" Pinkie pouted for being magically grabbed by her for the second time.

"This gives," Twilight motioned her gaze to Apple Bloom who had puppy dog eyes, "we have to take this filly home safely."

Pinkie Pie squee'd. They took the adorable filly home to Sweet Apple Acres. The remaining seven all gave affirmative nods and departed for the Everfree Forest.

Transition to the Everfree Forest.

Following the map, the septet were able to skip going over a dangerous cliffside which would have been used had they gone with Twilight's knowledge rather than the book. They were now deep into the forest.

"Ugh, my eyes need a rest from this icky muck..." Rarity complained.

"That ancient ruin could be in front of our face and we wouldn't even know it!" Twilight exclaimed.

There was then a collective scream from Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Spike. They were not happy to see these scary faces all around them. Pinkie Pie interestingly was not laughing at the faces. Since Spike was nearby, she equipped Spike and pulled his tail causing the dragon to go into flamethrower mode. She turned to Twilight who was armed and ready with her magic. The Unicorn and party pony gave a firm nod to each other and started dousing the scary faces with fire and/or magic. The remaining four ponies all shot glances at each other and opted not to intervene in the crazy duo's antics. The two ponies finished their scary face removing and gave each other genuine smiles.

"That was fun wasn't it Pinkie Pie?" Twilight shot a wink at Pinkie Pie.

"Mmhmm~" Pinkie returned the wink.

Transition to a raging river.

The septet approached the raging river caused by a Sea Serpent who had one side of his mustache cut off. Rarity would not have any of this.

"It is a tragedy indeed Mr. Sea Serpent! We can't let you have this fashionable tragedy any longer!" Rarity exclaimed, "Spike, cut off my tail."

"Isn't that a bit... sensitive? There is a reason your tail covers your..."

"Just do it Spike!!!"

Spike, flustered, complied. He got a claw out and sliced Rarity's tail short. Rarity fixed up the Sea Serpent's mustache using her tail hairs. He thanked them then made a bridge across the river out of his body, appreciative of the generosity shown. As they continued trotting in the forest, Twilight was perturbed at Rarity's short tail since reasons.

"Rarity, I just happen to know a spell to regrow that tail of yours." Twilight spoke.

"Oh darling, would you be so kind as to use it on me? Spike seems flustered."

Twilight used the spell and Rarity's tail was good in no time.

Transition to just outside the Castle of the Two Sisters.

"There it is! The ruins that hold the Elements of Harmony! Now we just... cross this... bridge?" Twilight questioned, "How do we get across this?"

"Duh~" Rainbow Dash pointed out Fluttershy and her own wings.

They went down, grabbed the rope of the fallen bridge, and flew to the other side to tie it. At that moment, the Shadowbolts appeared and clouded up the scene so the rest of them couldn't see. The Pegasi duo wouldn't have any of it. The hostility shown was enough to make them go into fight mode. Simply put, the Shadowbolts were beaten to a pulp by the two of them. They ran off while they tied the other end of the bridge to the posts. They then flew back and gave each other a hoof bump.

"All fixed!" Rainbow Dash reaffirmed.

They trotted into the ruins and eventually up a fifteen story tower where they found five of the Elements.

"Alright. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, bring them down."

They did so.

"1, 2, 3, 4... 5? Where is the last one?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Apparently, a spark is supposed to reveal the last Element," Twilight answered matter-of-factly.

Nightmare Moon suddenly appeared in the middle of the Elements.

"You think you can beat me?" She taunted.

"I don't think so, I know so. Just try destroy the Elements," Twilight mocked.

Nightmare Moon stomped which caused the Elements to shatter.

"Say farewell to the daylight, the night shall last forever!!!" Nightmare Moon triumphantly exclaimed, thinking that she had won.

"Bruh, you fail. The Elements are right over here," Twilight pointed out the five of her now friends.

"Applejack is the Element of Honesty; Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness; Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter; Rarity is the Element of Generosity; Lastly, Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty."

The shards of the Elements all circled their respective character.

"The spark of friendship creates the final Element! Magic!"

The last Element appeared and then the Mane 6 proceeded to Rainbow Blast Nightmare Moon. When everything settled down, Twilight's friends all realized they had a necklace that each looks like their cutie mark while Twilight herself had a crown with her cutie mark on it. Nightmare Moon was no more than a blue alicorn. They didn't have much time as the tower was destabilized from the stomp earlier and started collapsing. Twilight acted fast, summoned up all her magic to grab all of them, then jumped out of a hole in the tower dragging everypony along. She realized her recklessness, and took action to fix it. She reached out and grabbed a whole bunch of leaves from trees nearby then piled it all below the eight of them. The landing was nice and soft.

"Oooo! I bet in some other boring universe this didn't happen!" Pinkie Pie spoke with excitement.

There was some initial confusion from that statement. After they dusted off, Twilight spoke up.

"Thank you girls, I'm very sure we do represent the Elements of Harmony."

"Indeed you do," Princess Celestia approached.

"Princess Celestia!" all of the seven exclaimed and bowed down.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student, I knew you could do it."

"But, you told me you got it," Twilight spoke.

"I did. I sent you to Ponyville. But now for more serious matters. Princess Luna!" Princess Celestia turned to Luna.

Princess Luna gasped.

"It's been 1000 years since I have last seen you like this. It is time to put our differences aside. We were meant to rule together little sister," Celestia continued.

"Sister?!" All but Twilight and Spike (who read the book) exclaimed.

"Will you accept my friendship?"

"I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!" Luna gave her older sister a tight hug.

"I missed you too."

Pinkie Pie blew her nose, sobbed, then spoke, "You know what this calls for?"

Transition to Ponyville.

"A party!" Pinkie finished.

There was much celebrating as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna arrived on a chariot pulled by Pegasi guards. The septet were watching from the front of the crowd. Spike was next to Twilight as she gave him a loving nuzzle. Princess Luna got a flower lei from some Pegasus fillies and smiled at that. Princess Celestia then noticed Twilight was glum.

"Why so glum Twilight?" Celestia asked.

"I like it here in Ponyville. I feel like this might be my place," Twilight sadly replied.

"Spike, take a note please. I, Princess Celestia hereby decree that the Unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall continue her studies from her new home in Ponyville."

There was much cheering from her new friends.

"Oh thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than before!"

The cheering continued as the ponies partied. Just after noon, when all the partying finished, the purple duo was finally able to settle down into their new home in the Golden Oak Library.

"Spike, that was fun wasn't it? Getting to take a look at the Everfree Forest and get a move on to Ponyville, I'd say that your guess of us going on a big adventure was right."

"Mmhmm. I must say though, a lot of these events were convenient. You reading a book about the Elements of Harmony right when Nightmare Moon returns, being put in the Golden Oak Library, meeting five ponies who are now the Element bearers. Too convenient don't you think?"

"I understand what you're saying... Wait, hold on a second... Speaking about the Elements of Harmony, didn't Princess Celestia use the Elements of Harmony to banish Nightmare Moon? How come when the Princess used it, the result was banishing? Shouldn't have the friendship of a sister be enough to bring Princess Luna back? Why was it us that brought her back?"

"Whoa whoa whoa Twilight! Now is not the time to be deeply pondering the Season 1 Premiere! There will be many more Episodes to deeply interpret in the future. For now, let's get to the end of this Episode then we can discuss this... unless some other author wants to type up a story about this?" Spike winked at the camera.

"Agreed."

As they were doing some house cleaning, Twilight remembered to pen a letter to Moon Dancer, the Unicorn whose get together she was unabled to attend, but was on very good terms with ever since fillyhood:

"Dear Moon Dancer, we deeply apologize for being unable to attend your get together. From the recent extended night, we know you understand. Apparently, Nightmare Moon is a real story. For some reason Princess Celestia thought it would be a good idea to send us to Ponyville. It worked out: Twilight caught up with an old friend, made new friends along the way, and of course fixed the problem of eternal night. Can you believe that Princess Luna is back? But we digress, we should still make it up to you. You're our best friend after all. So! Enclosed in this letter is the key to Twilight's tower study room in Canterlot. Yes! Twilight is giving you her house. You deserve the best after all. Where are we living? We're in the Golden Oak Library in Ponyville. It's an hollowed out tree, quite impressed with the architecture. You should visit sometime~ We would like your company. Well, thank you for understanding and we look forward to crossing paths again~ Lots of Love, Twilight Sparkle and Spike."

Spike sent the letter on its way.

Transition to Moon Dancer's home in Canterlot.

Moon Dancer was a bit down from Twilight not showing up to her get together. It was unlike Twilight to forget about her. It was now that the letter Twilight and Spike wrote materialized in front of her. As she read it, she felt so much better that Twilight didn't just ignore her for no particular reason. She was intrigued as she read over Princess Luna's return. She continued reading until she read over that she was being given Twilight's old home. There was a moment of double take. She made sure she wasn't seeing things. The key appeared right into her magical grasp.

The internal squealing intensified to the point it was audible. In the time for the sun to go from afternoon to sunset: she packed up everything in her home, sold her house, and moved over to her new place. She had never been happier in her life. Being raised in the lower classes, being given one of the high class houses is something she appreciated. In her content nature, she made sure to thank Twilight by sending a "thank you" note with all the bits she made from the selling of her old home. She knew it would never really make up for the fact that she has been given a million bit property, but she knew that Twilight knows an appreciative mare by appearance.

After sending the letter, she had her dinner and went to bed with a smile on her face.

Transition back to Golden Oak Library.

It was finally time for the thing Twilight was looking most forward to. She and Spike were in the bedroom.

"Spike~ It's time for the cuddles!"

Twilight was patting the space next to her on the bed. Spike had no objections to that. He jumped into Twilight's embrace. The duo then dozed off to sleep, the grand adventure having begun.

End Theme with Credits.

Transition to the Castle of the Two Sisters in the Everfree Forest.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were searching through the vines nearby the castle. They eventually found what they were looking for.

"Sister, is this what we think it is?" Yanking off some overgrown vines, Luna inquires.

"Mmhmm, I think that this might be one of the best ways to thank them for saving you," Celestia suggests.

"The Stardust Speedway? This thing is designed for ponies living thousands of years ago! Not to mention it starts here in what is now the Everfree Forest."

"Who said it had to start in the Everfree Forest? I think with some remodeling, fine tuning and reroute to start in Canterlot, we can bring this creation of yours into the modern era!"

There was a shot of magic that destroyed a section of the old Stardust Speedway.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to it! They earned it after all."

Princess Celestia just smiled. It was great to be reunited with her sister and already be bonding over something of old.

Fade to Black.
