Author's Note

Welcome! There are two things I'd like to say.

One, I want to apologize for the stupidly long break between the last 2 chapters and the rest. I've had this largely finished for a while, and it's not like I wasn't writing at the time, either... I've actually been writing a lot for my standards. Just... not on this story. Needless to say I'm really not happy with it, but that's hardly an excuse, or at least not a good one.

Secondly – I realize that with the way this story turned out, it seems to have the moral of "you can't wish for love, you have to let it happen the natural way." That was absolutely not the intent. In fact, if I had to choose, I'd rather go for the opposite moral. I don't believe there is something supernatural about love, I think it's chemical process that exists because it's been rewarded by evolution, and if you could do magic, I don't see why it couldn't be recreated.

The reason why it didn't happen is just the way this story turned out. I'm of the rare opinion that it is often good not to know where your story is going – it's a foolproof way to avoid contrivances – and that was certainly the case here. When I got a bit in, I thought Rarity would be objected to the idea of inflicting love artificially, so I made her argue against it, and then it just so happened that she had really good points, and I realized that I thought she was right, not on principle, but in this case, and well Twilight thought so too, and in the end it all worked out! Gotta love Rarity.

I guess it also has the implication that a relationship can work out even if one of its members hasn't fallen in love. That's something which I believe is true.

Also, I friggin' love dreams. Dreams are amazing.
