Realization Edited Version

Midnight Story woke up to a knock on her front door. She knew that whoever it was wouldn’t leave because they have been knocking for the past ten minutes. Midnight before heading downstairs cast an illusion spell on himself to make him look as he did before he ascended to alicorn hood. Once the spell was complete he headed downstairs and opens the door to see two-night guards from Canterlot standing there. He looks at the guards and said “Hello there. Can I help you with something?”

One of the guards looked at Midnight and said “I was told there was a Midnight Story here. Is that true?” after receiving a nod from Midnight he continued “That is great news. May you please retrieve him for us? We were sent by Princess Luna to bring him to the castle. We don’t understand why but she said it was very important.”

“Very well. Give me a few minutes to get ready and I’ll be right out. I can see the confusion on your faces but let me clarify. I am the one Luna sent you to get. My name is Midnight Story and I just have to grab a couple things and I’ll be right out,” said Midnight closing the door.

Fifteen minutes later Midnight exited his house with his saddlebag. Before he left his house he packed a few hundred bits and two copies of his newest romance story. As Midnight and the guards left he cast a lockdown spell on his house so that the only ponies able to enter the property are those he gives permission to. As of right now, there are only one company and five ponies able to and they are Luna, Celestia, Cadance, Twilight and though they have never met Luna’s daughter Lucky Rose. The only company that can enter the property is the post office.

After two hours on the train to Canterlot, they arrive at the castle as the moon had risen ten minutes ago as they entered the castle and the night guards lead Midnight to the throne room. As they approach the throne room doors two other guards said “The princesses would like to speak to him alone. Nopony, not even the guards, are allowed in till they say so. Sir Midnight you may enter and I hope all goes well.”

Midnight just looked at the guards nodded and entered the room. Midnight got three-quarters of the way to the throne when he bowed. As he stood back up he saw the two alicorns of Celestia and Luna but didn’t recognize the third. Midnight looked at the princesses and noticed that they had cast a soundproof spell on the room. Curious as to why they would cast the spell on the room he said “Your highnesses I don’t mean to be rude but what the world did you call me here for?”

Luna chuckled and said “Midnight Story allow me to introduce you to my daughter. This is Lucky Rose and she is your biggest fan. However, there is something important we need to talk about and for that, we need you to release your spell.”

Midnight, worried that she knew he cast a spell on himself said “What spell are you talking about your highness? There is no spell cast on me at all. I have no idea what you are talking about so I will leave now.” Midnight Story turned to leave. Before Midnight Story could take a single step Celestia said “Midnight Story we are talking about the illusion spell you cast on yourself before you answered your door.”

Midnight stopped half a hoof away from where he was and said “How did you know I cast a spell on myself? I need to know so that I can fix whatever I did wrong so nopony knows.” Midnight looked at each princess as he spoke. However, when his eyes fell upon Lucky Rose’s eyes he felt a powerful surge of magic in his body. It was stronger than anything he had ever felt before even when he ascended he never felt this much magic. He felt so scared of the magic that he froze in place and whimpered in fear. Lucky Rose saw that Midnight looked right at her and the moment their eyes met she felt more powerful than ever before and it worried her. She was so worried she curled up into a ball and whimpered.

Luna hearing her daughter and Midnight whimper leaned into Celestia’s ears and whispered “Sister do you feel the magic coming off our niece and Midnight? Do you realize why this feels familiar?”

Celestia looked at Luna and whispered “I do Luna. The last time I felt this magic was two thousand years ago when our parents died saving us. Before they died they told us the name of this magic and the requirements for it to activate. Do you remember what they said to us?”

Luna looking worried said in a whisper “I do. They called it The Essence of Love and it can be activated at will when two ponies who are destined to be together forever, look into each other's eyes. However, since they told us that nopony in the last two thousand years have activated this power and if we don’t calm them down right know they will die. Sister, you calm Midnight Story down and explain what happened to him while I do the same for Lucky.” with everything said Luna went over to her daughter while Celestia went to Midnight.

Midnight was starting to hurt when he felt a wing being placed over his back. Midnight immediately started to calm down however he was still scared. He looked up and saw Celestia sitting over him in a protective manner. Upon seeing her he asked “Celestia? wh-wh-what is going on? I am scared and have never felt this much magic before and it hurts. Please help me.”

Celestia looked down at Midnight and said “It’s alright Midnight. The magic you are feeling is called The Essence of Love. The last time this magic was used was over two thousand years ago. At the time it was used by my mother and father before they died. They also told me and Luna what it was and the requirements for it to awaken. For this power to awaken two ponies who are meant to be together forever must look into each other’s eyes. You see you and Lucky Rose were meant to be together. Please calm down if you do the magic will merge with your body, but if you don’t you will die.”

Midnight upon hearing Celestia’s words calmed down. As soon as Midnight was calm there was a flash of magic. Once he could see again he notices that the magic undid his illusion spell. Realizing this Midnight looked up into Celestia’s face in fear of her judging her. However what she saw was love in her eyes and a welcome to the family smile.

Meanwhile, Luna walked over to Lucky Rose and put her wing around her to calm her. As soon as Lucky was calm Luna asked “Are you okay my daughter?”

Lucky Rose looked up at her mother and asked “Yes mother I am alright. However, I felt a surge of magic stronger than anything I have felt before and that includes when Twilight had all our magic. Please, mother, tell me what’s going on. I’m scared.”

Luna takes a deep breath and asked “My dearest daughter when you looked at Midnight what did you feel in your heart? I’m not talking about the fear but right before that.”

Lucky Rose thought for a minute and said “At first I thought it was excitement and happiness at seeing my favorite author. However, when he looked me in the eyes I felt love for him. However, it wasn’t the type of love I feel for you. It was different and stronger. Why do you ask mother?”

Luna looked her daughter in the eyes and said “Lucky Rose, the magic you felt was last used by your grandparents before they died. Right before they died they told me and Tia that it was called The Essence of Love and only awakens when two ponies who are destined to be together forever, look into each other’s eyes. They also said that unless the ponies who awaken it calm down the magic will kill them.”

Lucky Rose upon hearing about the magic calms down as the magic merges with her body. Once she was calm she looked at her mother and asked: “Mother do you think you can summon the royal jewelry maker and ask him to make a pair of royal wedding rings? One for me and one for Midnight?”

As soon as Lucky Rose finished speaking they saw a flash of magic behind them. When they turned to look they saw where Midnight stood was an alicorn princess. They both looked on in shock as they went over and asked: “Midnight, what happened to you?”

Midnight looking sheepish said “Nothing happened except that the illusion spell I had cast on me was removed. All my life I have wanted to be a mare so when I turned seven I started to work on creating a spell to do just that. Six years ago when I was thirteen I cast the spell I created so I could be myself. I passed out and when I came to I realized that I had become an alicorn. I didn’t want to cause any trouble so I hid the fact that I was an alicorn from everypony. I am sorry.”

Lucky Rose goes over to Midnight and asked “Midnight, I love you. Will you do me the incredible honor of marrying me? I don’t have the rings yet but I will in the next hour.”

Midnight was shocked but knew in her heart that she wanted to marry Lucky Rose. Midnight looked at Lucky Rose and said in a quiet tone of voice “My name is actually Morning Rose. I have two Cutie-Marks. The first is a rose inside the morning sun. it symbolizes my talent for gardening and protecting those I love in the morning. The second is a full moon with a quill inside it. It symbolizes my talent for writing while the moon is out. As for if I will marry you, Lucky Rose, I would be honored. However, what are you going to do about me being an alicorn?”

Celestia chuckled and said “I already knew you were an alicorn Morning rose, which is why I summoned you here. Your coronation is in about ten minutes and I had a dress made for you and it matches your coat. Are you ready Morning Rose?”

“Of course Celestia. I’m ready as long as Lucky Rose is by my side. After all the moment I looked into her eyes I knew that she was the one my eternal soul belongs to. Should she feel the same I would be honored to always have her by my side,” said Rose looking at Lucky.

“Rose, I would be honored to be by your side for all eternity. For as the sun rises and sets and the moon fills the darkness with light you are the reason for my life. I love you with all my heart and soul my lovely Rose. No matter what may come our way I know with you by my side we will be able to face it,” Lucky said looking at Rose with a love that was deeper than the ocean.

Ten minutes later Rose walked down the aisle where the nobles were gathered to welcome the newest princess. As Rose approached the area she was supposed to be she heard Celestia say “Everypony may I introduce the newest princess of Equestria Morning Rose. I now crown thee the princess of spells. Now I believe you and Lucky Rose have an announcement to make.”

Rose stood up with her crown on her head as Lucky Rose steps to her side. Rose looked out at everypony and together they said “Everypony we are proud to announce that we are to be wed in a month’s time. I know most of you will say that it is too early in the relationship for that. However earlier tonight me and Lucky Rose looked into each other’s eyes and a magic power was awakened in us that hasn’t happened in over two thousand years. The requirements for it to unlock are simple but extremely rare. For this magic to awaken two ponies who are destined to be together forever must look each other in the eyes. Tonight when I looked Lucky Rose in the eyes and she looked me in mine the magic awakened. It was so strong it scared us. However, when we calmed down we agreed to get married. I hope you understand”

A month later

Rose and Lucky walked down the aisle. As they approached Celestia they said the traditional wedding vows before starting the wedding reception. During the reception, everypony came up and congratulated them. Finally, when Celestia and Luna came up they congratulated them and officially welcomed Rose to the family. They lived happily ever after for the rest of their days.
