The corrupt Celestia and the ponies who stood against her faced each other with a fierce determination, both knowing that this would be one of their last standings. Every twitch of a muscle, every stary hair in the wind or ruffled feather was noted keenly as they stood in opposition.

Celestia charged, but a flash brought her up short as Trixie Lulamoon and Twilight Sparkle appeared before the two sides. The latter was ragged and tired, her fur matted with sweat and the smell of her exertion was quite apparent. Her eyes were ringed and her features drawn tight, as if exhausted or in pain.

"ENOUGH!"

Panting slightly, Twilight turned to face her former teacher.
"Celestia, this isn't you, you don't do things like this. Look deep inside and find that love you hold for us all. Reach insides and find the love you hold for me, your family, just as I have found the love for my own new family."
Twilight sighed happily, gesturing to the girls and the Night Corps. then to a bundle she held close.
"This is my baby, Celestia, and if I am truly a daughter to you, then this is your granddaughter. Can you not find it in your heart to loves us?"

Celestia stopped for a moment, eyeing Twilight and the pup pensively.
"My granddaughter...."

Twilight nodded hopefully.

Celestia's body seemed to writhe and twist suddenly as the alicorn became rigid. Then, in an explosion of black magic, Nightmare burst forth making a beeline for the unicorn that had just destroyed her work and plans for the second time. But it never got close.

Celestia, in all her glory, latched onto the foul beast with her magic and hefted it into the air.

"Strike now with the Elements!"

With no hesitation, the Elements did just that, wiping the Nightmare from further existence. It took all of two seconds for the solar alicorn to sweep Twilight, Telvanni, and Luna into a large hug.
"I'm so very sorry, and I want you all to know I love you, and you are my family."
Turning an eye down, tears of joy and pride welled up in Celestia's eyes as she cast her gaze down on Twilight's pup.
"She is beautiful Twilight...I...I have a confession though. Twilight, you are not the daughter you think you are. I grew lonely, and bitter and I longed for somepony to call family. In my sorrow, I delved into ancient illegal magiks and birthed you myself...after all that's happened I understand that this must be a shock for you...I will repsect any of your wishes to not see me again."

Twilight promptly smacked Celestia lightly across the cheek before drawing her into a tight hug.
"You kidding me? I'm not letting you go anywhere! For what its worth, I considered you my mother anyway."

Celestia broke down crying at this revelation as her family and friends comforted her.

~^~1000 Years Later~^~

Twilight and Telvanni awoke, both stretching their legs and wings before stopping to stare at each other incredulously.

"Telv, dear, is it April first?" Twilight sighed.

The winged lycan nodded before both ponies, painted like the night sky, cried out in unison.

"LUNA!"

~^~^~^~

Luna awoke and trotted into her bathroom. Once finished she stopped to check her coat in the mirror to find herself painted with suns.

"CELLY!"

~^~^~^~

Opening her eyes to the calender, Celstia did the first thing she knew to do on this very day, she immediately looked upon her own body. Her usual pristine white coat was painted in hues to match Twilight, with her cutie mark being the sun on her flan, and the moon painted on her shoulders.

"TWILY, TELVANNI!

~^~^~^~

Trying not to laugh as she watched the trio converge on each other, the lycan alicorn hybrid known as Tia Lulamoon giggled into her paw as her family started shooting accusations as to whom painted whom that morning. It was all going good until she knocked some dust of the rafter.

The lass let out a sudden yelp as a gold, lavender, and blue aura of magic all grabbed her at once.

"Honey....what do you know of this?"

Still trying not to laugh, Tia looked at her mother innocently.
"Know what of what? I was just napping on the rafters."

Twilight was about to tell her that she knew exactly what but took a pie to the face. Turning, she was faced with Luna laughing loudly.

"That was meant for Celly."

In turn the lavender alicorn threw a pie straight back at Luna, but she ducked and it hit Telvanni.

The nobles entered the kitchen later that day, and the ocd stallion still hasn't quite recovered.

It was a good day.
