Chapter 23 The End
Much time had passed since the heroes fought Yetson and his army. Not much damage was shown at Canterlot nor any loss of life, except Walden of course. Princeton admitted his crimes against Equestria in front of the Princess Celestia and wanted to take full responsibility; however, she forgave him because Yetson controlled him after all this time. Thus, the unicorn was a free pony.
As of Walden, his funeral took place at the Canterlot’s Memorial Garden. Many ponies went to say their respects to the fallen human who sacrificed his life for John. For John himself, he felt at ease, in spite of what he had been told. He didn’t care that his family kept a secret from him after all these years, all he cared about was that they shared wonderful moments and bonded like a family. As much as the ponies who attended the funeral, John paid his final respect to Walden, “A care giving brother with dignity and kindness.” (This is what the tombstone said)
After the funeral, things began turn for the good for the gang. The Cutie Mark Crusaders finally had their cutsenera at Manehattan, as it was planned. John’s friends began to finally settle down at Ponyville, and Zerj began to spend time with his daughter Jessica as well as Princeton with John. The relationship between the pair began to grow stronger by the day. Not only that, Twilight finally became an Alicorn princess after she finished a spellbook that Starswirl the Bearded didn’t do long ago. They all cheered for her for the achievement that it was once in a lifetime opportunity. Last, but not least, John and Jessica started to go out. The mane six were surprised that the two were going out, but on the contrary, the guys already knew that they should’ve dated awhile back. There were signs that the two would be together; yet, neither had noticed at all. Overall, John and Jessica were together. It was a matter of time before things get even better.
Or perhaps it does…

On a nice summer afternoon, Spike ran through the halls of the Canterlot Palace to arrive at a room, second door to the right. He reached at his destination and knocked on the door, hoping somepony would answer.
“Come in,” John said through the door.
“Dude,” Spike spoke as he opened the door, “The ballroom is packed,”
“I know it is.”
“Just imagine if this event was taking place at the Crystal Empire stadium. The place will packed with ponies all around Equestria.”
“Are you going to brag about saving the Crystal Empire twice again?” John rolled his eyes.
“With all due respect” the baby dragon crossed his arms, “I stopped bragging about that long ago.”
“Long ago as in on our way here to Canterlot last night.”
Spike chuckled in embarrassment as John sighed calmly as he grabbed a bowtie.
“You know, this feels like just yesterday you two were going out and the next day, both of you are getting married.”
“I know that feeling.” John chuckled.
“To top things off, you and Jessica are Alicorns! All thanks to Twilight for putting you two back into your original forms.”
“Well Spike. It was obvious that me and Jessica are alicorns. I mean, I had my wings and magic way before Jessica got hers.” The alicorn nodded as he finished tying his bow.
“That’s true.”
“And, because of this, not only this is my wedding day, it’s also our coronation day. It’s rare that this happens here in Equestria. After all, we’ve waited a while for this because of unexpected events kept on appearing.”
“Like that one time you and the girls defeated that sea witch to save the seaponies.” Spike spoke with excitement.
“And the time that Sombra returned to the Crystal Empire and tried to take over again.”
“Eeyup. Those were the days.”
The two headed out of the room and began to walked towards the ballroom. John knew this day was happening. After he popped the question after a year of dating Jessica, she agreed to marry him. News spread across Equestria about the proposal and because of it, Princess Celestia offered to have the matrimony held at the palace. Within the year, both of them planned how the event would go as they chose the bridesmaids, the groomsmaids, and every other typical things that a matrimony would have. The day grew closer as John himself became nervous about the event, but soon resolved it when the day finally arrived.
Spike and John arrived at the ballroom and set themselves in their positions. Right aside the groom was his friends as the bridesmaids were Twilight and her friends. Among the crowd, Princeton and Zerj sat next to each other, grinned at the fact that their foals were getting married after the years being gone from their birthplace. Overall, the place was packed with smiles.
Then, the music began to play as everypony looked at the door. The Cutie Mark Crusaders walked down the aisle and dropped flower petals along the way. As they were halfway through, Jessica entered the room and walked down the middle path. She wore a white dress that was designed by Rarity as well for the outfits for the bridesmaids and the groomsmaid. For a mare like her, she was the most beautiful pony in the room. Everypony had their eyes locked at her including John, but as for the bride, the only contact she made was at the groom himself.
Jessica finally reached her place where she was next to her groom as music began to die down.
"Mares and gentlecolts," said Princess Celestia, "We are here today to celebrate not only the birth of a matrimony of these two young ponies, but also the coronation that will bring forth a new royal couple. The two shared many adventures and saved Equestria from time to time along with their friends who helped them along the way. Here, John and Jessica, proved themselves that no matter how much struggle or pain that a love one had passed on, a small portion of hope and happiness can restore tremendous amount of scars.”
“May I have the rings?” the princess asked.
Spike came over and give her the rings.
“I pronounce you, mare and stallion.” Celestia put the rings on the wedded couple’s horns. “And prince and princess of Equestria.”
The crowd began to applaud for them. The music played as the couple walked down the aisle where everypony was watching them from the sidelines. The ponies cheered for them because they were finally married and hope that they would have a happy marriage.
The wedded couple reached at the balcony where thousands of ponies cheered and chanted with excitement. They were surprised how many ponies came to this event. John was mind blown by the fact that his dreams came true in the way that he didn’t expected. After a year and a half being with her, he was able to proposed to her at Ponyville. This day was expected to be remembered for a lifetime.
“Hello everypony.” John spoke as the cheer began to fade, “I know you all are happy that we are officially married and we are crowned prince and princess of Equestria.”
The crowd applauded in agreement.
“Well, we are as well happy that this happened to us. But, this isn’t just happiness that covers the case. I am glad that I let this wonderful pony, who is my wife, to enter my life and open a new chapter for the both of us.”
“Perhaps a new chapter for all of us, in Equestria.” Jessica spoke, “We went through tough times in such short notice, but in the end, we were able to conquer the corruption of any evil in this world. And today is a better day to celebrate what matters most. Our friends…”
“Our family” said John. “Joining us on this glorious day.”
“To celebrate.”
“Our moment.”
“In history.” the couple yelled.
The crowd began to cheer once more in glee as John looked at Jessica.
“And you will be by my side.”
He leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth.
I know you will, John thought.
So forth, John and Jessica were married and became prince and princess of Equestria. The two had fun in their honeymoon and are expected to have kids in the near future. As of his buddies, they too became ponies and settled down with mares of their interest and everypony lived happily ever after.
