Season 9 The ending of the end rewrite

Month after the Ultimate Battle for the fate of Equestria

The most epic battle in the history - not just Equestrian, but world's history too, was over, but it began even more epic thing. Kingdoms of different creatures were more united and close than never before. That was truly beautiful thing to see - creatures that didn't care about differences and just enjoyed being together with those they like - their species wasn't the matter at all compared to the power of their friendships.

The Canterlot Castle reconstruction was almost over and almost everyone admitted it - the castle looked even more magnificent in its rebuilt form. That would make Twilight's coronation as a new ruler of Equestria even better!

Twilight was with some of her friends - Spike, Starlight and Rarity in Ponyville's Castle, preparing for her coronation (Fluttershy was training the animals for the show, Rainbow Dash was training with Wonderbolts, Applejack with her family took care of catering for the ceremony, meanwhile Pinkie Pie was getting fireworks ready and helping Applejack get the food ready).
She had a lot to do - pack her stuff since she was moving to Canterlot, organise other stuff and help her friends - mainly Rarity, because she needed a dress for the ceremony.

She was currently having a break from all the work and was talking with Starlight on the hallway.

"Twilight, believe me or not - but despite the fact this all was a month ago, I still have shivers from all that happened - my fight with Chrysalis, Cozy breaking us out from the cave..." - Starlight began, but quickly stopped - "you know what I'm talking about"

"I know, and I'm sure you're still affected by the battle's adrenaline. But the thing I'll remember the most was Cozy Glow's sudden reformation. Would you expect her to change her mind and join us in the battle? Or risking her life to save me and Fluttershy from this magic blast of King Sombra?" - Twilight said, looking deep at Starlight's eyes.

"I definately would not" - she replied with gentle smile - "besides, do you know what's up with Cozy?"

"The doctor said yesterday that she's fine and can leave the hospital soon!" - Twilight was happy

Suddenly, both mares heard knocking on the door

"Who can it be? Derpy delivers the mail to our school. And it's too late for the delivery" - Starlight was curious with sudden knocking.

"Let's see" - said Twilight before using her magic to open the door. Doorknob glowed purple and revealed their guest. It was Cozy Glow, with some bandages and scars on her body. She also had a bandage patch on her left eye.

"Cozy! What a surprise!" - Twilight said with wide smile on her face - "What are you waiting for? Come in!" - she invited

Starlight and Twilight ushered Cozy Glow inside. Then she slowly trotted hobbling, because of injuries she received during the battle. She was also greeted by Rarity, who was passing by the hallway.

"What brings you here" - Starlight asked, gazing with gentle smile at the filly

"Well, I just need an advise" - she started - "You see - I want to make amends with some 6 students of the School of Friendship I've hurt the most. I mean Yona, Gallus, Silverstream, Ocellus, Smolder and Sandbar. But I don't think they will want to see me." - Cozy described her issue

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"You see Cozy..." - Twilight said - "I kind of expected you to do so, therefore I informed them that you might confront them."

"And how did they react?" - Cozy Glow asked, full of curiosity - "they weren't happy at all, were they?"

"Actually no" - Starlight denied - "just the opposite. In fact they weren't willing to hear about it at all, but when I and Twilight told them about your sudden change of mind, joining us, then freeing me, Twilight, the princesses and pillars from Canterlot caves and when you risked your life to save Twilight and Fluttershy from that blast during the ultimate battle, they were astonished. They couldn't believe what they just heard and thought we were talking about another 'Cozy Glow'." - she giggled at the last words about their thoughts

"And...what was next?" - Cozy seemed to be calmer with that

Twilight went closer to the filly and said - "They were very eager to confront you. Believe it or not, but the first one to believe in your reformation was Smolder"

"So I can go to your school and apologize them Twilight, right?" - Cozy said

"Why don't we get there now? The school is still open, and even more they, except Sandbar, have their own dormitories, so they aren't going anywhere far away" - Twilight shared her idea of getting this done quickly, since tomorrow it's her coronation and the school is closed - "and by the way, it's of course my school, but also Starlight's - she's the new headmare, because I'm moving to Canterlot"

"Yeah, but I think I will make Sunburst a headstallion, so he can assist me. Of course I have Trixie to help me, but it's better to have one more pony to help." - Starlight said - "After all of this, I'm sure we will have more students next year" - she added with friendly smile.

"Okay, so we can go now" - Cozy proposed

"Sure, I will just inform Rarity that we are going. It shouldn't take us much time" - Twilight said and flew to Rarity

A few moments later, they both got to the School of Friendship and walked through the hallways. Cozy expected other students who were there to shoot daggers at her and say hateful things towards and about the filly, instead most of them were gazing at her with small smiles, some even greeted her.

Twilight must've told them about how I saved her and Fluttershy. So far, so good - she thought

Cozy and Twilight were inside the headmare office some time later.

"Wait here while I go to get here these 6 students, okay?" - Twilight asked when her wings were spread wide

"Okay, I'll just sit here" - she replied, sitting at the couch.

"Feel free to take some books, if you get bored" - Twilight pointed the bookshelf and Cozy nodded.

Three minutes later, office doors opened and this group of six students and close friends entered the room, then Twilight got inside and closed the door.

"Hi!" - Cozy said with awkward grin on her face, closing the book she was reading.

"Again-good pegasus back!" - Yona exclaimed with joy

"There's something important I should tell you" - Cozy's expression turned into serious frown - "you see, I feel awful for trying to get rid of all magic in Equestria and even more awful because I tricked everyone, especially you, who trusted me the most. I'm sorry for that all - I really am. I don't expect your forgiveness, let alone your friendship, but I had to tell you that"

Then, she looked down, remembering all the stuff she did.

Suddenly, she heard Gallus saying - "it's okay Cozy, I forgive you, and I'm sure my friends also do, right?" - the others nodded

"You do? Really?" - Cozy asked, her smile widening

"Cozy, look..." - he began - "You changed your mind and joined Twilight and Princesses to fight FOR Equestria, instead of fighting IT. Then, you freed them and the Pillars of Equestia from these caves underneath Canterlot. And finally - you almost died from that blast when you pushed Twilight to prevent her being hit. I think that's what I would call proving yourself worthy a second chance"

Cozy Glow's eyes got watery and tears began to flow through her cheeks - she was so moved with that.

"Thank you. I appreciate it." - Cozy said, wiping her tears with her left forehoof

"This is just amazing! You'll see Cozy - friendship is powerful magic, but this magic, like any other needs to be used responsibly. Otherwise, it can lead to a disaster" - Ocellus said with smile

"Glad to have you again on the good side" - Smolder said and put her right arm around Cozy

"Ow!" - she yelped

"What's wrong, Cozy" - Smolder asked startled

"I have painful burn there, so be careful" - Cozy explained

"Sorry for that - my bad" - Smolder said

After returning to the Ponyville's castle, Twilight was fitting the dress Rarity made for her coronation. Cozy Glow looked at it and said.

"This dress is absolutely awesome! Rarity - you're surely the best dress designer in the world" - she exclaimed, making Rarity blush pink.

"Ah shucks! It's nothing" - Rarity denied, still flushed, just a bit stronger.

"Don't be so modest. This dress is gorgeous. I knew you'd know the best what I'll need for such a ceremony" - Twilight confirmed, making Rarity blush even more - her cheeks were now crimson.

"I'm going to use special thread made from Star Spider's glowing cobweb. With it, your dress will glow during the ceremony. It won't last long though." - Rarity shared her idea of making a dress even better

"Oh Twilight, I almost forgot" - Cozy said - "Is it ok if I go to your coronation like this" - she asked pointing her bandages.

Twilight thought about it, putting her right forehoof on her cheek and finally answered

"It shouldn't be the problem with going with all these bandages and scars" - she reassured - "everyone knows about your heroic act and I'm sure they would be even glad to meet the filly, who saved their new ruler"

"Okay. So I better get ready. The ceremony's tommorow" - Cozy said and flew off. Twilight and Rarity were staring at her with small smile.

"Her future is going to be delightful" - Rarity said with smile.
