A Tale of Two

In the middle of a forest on the island, the two were sleeping ever so soundly as the magic placed them down on the ground. Then, Astell woke up for the first time in years.

'(Groans) Where... Where am I?' She scratched her eyes.

She heard Lunar snoring very peacefully on the other side of the area, and realised what happened.

'(Gasps) Lunar Sparkle? Is that you over there?' She cried.

As soon she said that Lunar woke up. He was confused to what happened before he woke up. Then, he saw his friend.

'What have I been-' He stuttered as he saw her.

In disbelief and surprise, they saw each other for the first time in years. As a smile climbed up their faces, tears were also coming out as well.

'(Gasps) Astell!' Lunar got up and ran to her.

She was overjoyed. 'Lunar!'

They both ran to each other and embraced tightly, crying tears of joy.

'(Cries) I'm so sorry, Lunar... I miss you so much...' Astell cried.

'Astell... I never want to leave you again!' Lunar replied.

She dried her tears. 'But we kept fighting and arguing with each other... And I-'

Lunar smiled and covered her mouth gently. 'I'm so sorry about it. I never wanted it to go like this. I never hated you, why would I ever feel like that? I... I really love you, Astell. Look, I have no idea what happened to us, but... I know we have done something very wrong. Right now, war is still going on between our people. I can't... (sobs) I can't turn back anymore...'

Astell smiled as well, and held his hands. 'It's okay. I love you too, my best friend. We can still fix this madness... If you are willing to give me a chance. And don't worry, I will give you that chance as well.'

He was still sobbing really badly. 'Of course I will forgive you. You're my best friend, as always.'

Astell laughed. '(Chuckles) Do you mind if... We jump back into our relationship now?'

He shook his head, and then got tackled by her. 'Oh my, Astell, stop it! That's so ticklish!'

Both of them giggled as they lied down, having each other close to their heart after so long.

'Guys! Children, where are you!?' Frisk called out.

'We're not mad at you guys, come out!' Twilight followed.

Suddenly, when they were passing by, Nathan was giggling as he hid behind a bush.

'What's so funny, Nathan?' Asriel asked.

'Oh my gosh... Uhm, look away if you really can't watch.' Nathan giggled.

When they revealed what's behind the bush, they saw what Nathan was seeing. The girls both gasped.

'Oh my Celestia, what are those two doing!?' Twilight asked.

'Oh, nope nope nope nope nope nope nope! I am so done!' Frisk giggled, taking pictures of the scene.

They were in complete shock and burst into laughter when they saw their children were cuddling and rolling around and even kissing each other continuously. Don't worry, they are not (You get it), they are way too young to know about it.

In the midst of them having so much fun, Frisk accidentally used flash on her phone camera. Astell was about to kiss Lunar again.

'Whoa whoa whoa! Oh my gosh, no no no no no!' Astell cried.

Everyone bursted into huge laughter again.

'Lunar get up! Get up! (Giggling)' She laughed.

'Uh... We can explain...' Lunar giggled.

Frisk laughed. 'Oh, Astell... bring it in, girl.'

'Lunar, you too! Come over here!' Twilight said, smooching.

Both children went back to their parents, and they hugged them closely and kissed them.

'My child... I have finally came to free you guys.' Frisk comforted.

The two let go, and hugged each other again.

'So, I see you guys have made up?' Asriel asked.

They both nodded.

'(Sigh of relief) Yay! You guys are a happy pair of friends again!' Twilight squeaked happily.

'But... We're not exactly sure what happened to us, though. Can you tell us anything?' Lunar asked.

'If you want to understand all of this... We'll have to start from the very, very beginning.' Frisk replied.

'Geez, a wizard cursed us? No wonder we were suffering from something that night!' Astell cried.

'I know!' Lunar answered. 'And you guys once defeated him? Whoa... I want to be like you guys one day!'

Nathan chuckled. 'You might get your chance now...'

'Really?'

Frisk had an idea. 'Yeah! Now that your curses have been broken, the brainwashing spell you gave to the other people should be broken as well! So now, everyone is awake and they feel free again, under no one's control!'

Lunar was pleased. 'That's great! Let's go and save everyone then!'

'But... One more thing to ask...' Astell said, feeling guilty and shy. 'Will you guys forgive us for what we did? We harmed so many of you... I even tried to kill you and your friends, mom!'

Twilight patted her head lightly. 'We already forgave you guys. That wasn't you, it was him controlling your minds.'

'So, what are we waiting for?' Nathan asked. 'Lunar, Astell, do you want to have a ride, or do you guys want to team up?'

They both looked at each other, smiling.

'I haven't got used to being back to this form, I was much younger before the curse hit me.' Lunar said.

Astell chuckled. 'Come on, we're friends again! We haven't done this in a while!'

So, Frisk and Lunar turned into a pony again, and Asriel, Nathan and Astell climbed up to ride on Frisk, Twilight and Lunar.

'Let's go save the world!' Astell said with passion, and they all took off.

Meanwhile, everyone was returning back to normal again.

'Huh? What's this feeling?' Stacy asked Mark.

He gasped in excitement. 'They broke the spell! They did it!'

Celestia just had her spell worn off. 'Oh my, it feels so good to back to my royal self again!'

'I know, Tia! We have been controlled for years now!' Luna replied to her.

As the spell faded away across the world, people of both kinds rejoice as they were finally free. Soon after, leaders and people of countries around the world started to be filled with anger towards the person who did all of this. The war was over, but disorder remained as the wizard acknowledged this, and had to spawn out different beasts to buy himself more time to live.

Meetings were held, decisions were made, collaborations were established and repaired once again between the humans and the ponies.

'This is an absolute outrage!' One leader exclaimed.

'We believe the ponies are treated as friends, not as enemies!' Another said.

'That mastermind behind all of this will pay!'

As those kinds of comments were made, Celestia had a brilliant idea.

'Well, there is only one solution to this, and we two tribes need to work together.' She said.

'Only if your kind promises peace with us.'

'Deal is a deal, then.' She replied.

Soon, Astell and Lunar will persuade both kinds to join in the fight against king Gromiz, who was hiding somewhere in the pony world. They had a speech to give.

'If I can get everyone's attention, please?' Frisk stepped up to the stage. 'Excellent, now please welcome the leaders of this battle: Astell Dreemur and Lunar Sparkle!'

As the two came up, everyone was cheering loudly for them.

'Thank you all so much for hoping to bring peace back to both kinds.' Astell said. 'This is crucially important. That king who has controlled me, my friends, and all of you has gone too far. As you all know, my legendary mother, Frisk Dreemur, has defeated him many years ago. He vows for a rematch, and this time we will show no mercy against him!'

The crowd cheered loudly as one.

'You all realise the bond between we two races is strong and powerful. No war will ever break it again.' Lunar swore. 'We have fought each other twice, and enough is enough! From all of us up here, we vote that he shall be killed for good!'

'Kill him dead! We want peace!' The crowd chanted.

Twilight came over. 'This battle will be the ultimate clash, and together, we will stand till the very end!'

The crowd continued chanting as the group hopped off the stage, guiding them and showing the evil king who's the real boss.
