Starlight and Trixie started moving packages into a house marked as "sold" as Celestia was acting all giddy like a school girl while looking at Sombra and Radiant Hope.

"I can't believe I'm meeting with Radiant Hope! Your known for being the only true immortal unicorn in Equestria!" Celestia said.

"Actually my life-span is tied to my husbands. But not thanks to Twilight Sparkle." Radiant Hope said.

"Wait what? Then how did your life-span get tied to your husband?" Luna asked, genially curious.

"It was my doing using Dark Magic. I have become the certified mage on the matter in fact." Sombra said.

"Isn't Dark Magic restricted to Alicorns like the princesses?" Buttercup asked.

"It is Buttercup. Because it can corrupt one's own mind. Makes a unicorn become nearly identical in strength to an Alicorn but the mind of an evil tyrant." Cooke Crumbles said.

"Somebody tell Sombra that; because he seems normal to me." Spitfire said.

"That's because I'm a crossbreed between a normal pony and an umbra. Umbra used to be normal ponies who lived in the crystal empire until the tyrant Queen Amore cursed them into shadow beings. But before they were sealed away, one Umbra Male had sex with a Crystal Pony mare. That mare was my biological mother who was killed by the Queen, but not before hiding me away and hiding me in plain sight amongst the foals. That's where I met Radiant Hope. And thanks to my powers, I shielded her from Queen Amore's massive brainwashing of the other crystal ponies." Sombra said. "Because of that, I am the only unicorn who bypasses the law on authority of Princess Twilight Sparkle." He added.

"So because they were made into shadow beings, Umbra are immune to the normal corrupting effects of dark magic." Celestia confirmed to which Sombra nodded.

"And being half Umbra gives me the same immunities." Sombra said.

"What's more, is that I happen to be pregnant with Sombra's child. It won't be long until I deliever at that." Radiant Hope said.

"A FOAL?! WE'RE GOING TO WITNESS THE BIRTH OF A FOAL?!" Buttercup exclaimed, dumbstruck.

"That's correct. Your very welcome to come meet the little bundle of joy when it's time." Radiant Hope said.

"It is my belief that our child will grow in a caring neighborhood. I want him or her to grow up in a place where friendship shines bright." Sombra said.

"Well not to worry Sombra; you won't find a friendlier place then Ponyville." Celestia said.

"Things are all moved in." Starlight said.

"We gotta head back. Catch you six another time." Trixie said waving off as she and Starlight left.

"Well ah reckon the two of you must be hungry; Radiant Hope included. Come on you two, we're taking you to Sugarcube corner for a welcome to ponyville party and a banquet." Buttercup said.

"Oh that sounds delightful. A very good way to get to know the locals, don't you agree, Sombra?" Radiant Hope asked.

"Indeed it does Hope; indeed it does." Sombra said.

The party was very jam packed, but many ponies gave their wellwishes and were all very receptive of both Sombra and Radiant Hope alike. Soon, the sun began to set on what seemed to be a day that went on forever.

"Well this was a very good party. We only wish we could stay longer." Radiant Hope said.

"That's right. But consider us your friends." Sombra said.

"Really? Even though we didn't talk much at the party?" Celestia asked.

"But of course. After all, good people make good friends, don't you agree, Celestia?" Sombra asked.

Celestia smiled. "You know...I think you're on to something." She said.

Dear Princess Twilight

Today me and my friends welcomed Sombra and Radiant Hope to the town of Ponyville. They are both really good folk who really could use a friendly environment like Ponyville. And I hope me and my friends can help them feel welcome here. Sombra mentioned that good people make good friends, and I can't help but think he was onto something with that.

And he and Radiant Hope taught me something about friendship that I could never expect: Even the most unlikely of friendships can turn out for the best, and nothing will prove that better then the foal Radiant Hope will give birth to: One with the blood of a pony and an umbra just like his or her father. I honestly can't say for sure if it'll be a filly or a colt. And I honestly can't wait.

No matter which way the foal will turn out, he or she will be the perfect capsize to a tale of friendship from the most unlikely Crystal Couple in the history of anything that turned into something far, far greater. And perhaps, one day that same kind of ultimate fulfillment awaits me and my friends with somepony special too. Only time can really tell. A foal of your own with somepony special...it's the ultimate result of a friendship turned into something more. And now, Sombra and Radiant Hope are going to fulfill that for themselves.

As always your student, Celestia.

P.S.: I can't believe I'm thinking about foals at my age. Guess the, whole thing with Sombra and Hope really gets to me. I couldn't be happier for them.

A tear escapes Twilight's eye as she looks over a photo of a young orange filly. "Trust me, my student..." Twilight said. "I know exactly how that feels. It was something I had before Discord did his thing." She added. Next to Twilight in the photo was a stallion; both ponies holding the orange filly in their hooves. "...I just hope nothing happens that threatens the child of Hope and Sombra like it did with my own, provided by former captain Flash Sentry." Twilight said. "The accident didn't just claim the lives of my parents, it claimed the lives of my daughter and her father too." She added before putting the photo away and turning off the lights to the room.

Author's Note

Brief Flashlight mention, where it's implied that Flash Sentry was Twilight's special somepony before Sunset before he and the daughter he had with Twilight were killed in the same accident that killed the Twilight Velvet and Night Light of this universe. Regardless, after this, got one last episode to close out the season, and considering I've mentioned everything about it briefly before, now I go in depth and show you just how this universe's Cozy Glow became an alicorn.
