Shortly after Future Cozy Glow went to the past...

"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! I'LL FIND A WAY TO STOP YOU, COZY GLOW, AND WHEN I DO, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Future Zero yelled out.

"It's over Zero. You've lost." A female voice called out from the now dark room.

"That voice; it can't be!" Future Zero said, gulping as he turned to the voice. The owner of the voice was none other than Future Flurry Heart. "You can't be alive; you fell backwards to your death!" Future Zero said.

"That's what I wanted you to believe Zero. It's your own fault for not making sure I was dead. Because of that, I was able to continuously encourage Cozy Glow to never give up in secret. She always played it off as her mind reminding her that I would have become disappointed in her, if she ever gave up on hope and submitted herself to you." Future Flurry Heart said.

"I may not have killed you before, but I'll be sure to rectify that mistake." Future Zero said.

"Oh, really now? Because it seems to me that ruling through fear was never the way to go." Future Flurry Heart said before taking out the crystal heart.

Future Zero turned to his two guards, only to noticing them bowing to Future Flurry Heart. "What you two doing? I'm in charge here, not her!" Future Zero said.

"You don't get it, do you Zero? I am the only remaining benevolent alicorn left in existence thanks to your actions, and now that they know I'm alive, with the little magic you gave them, they have no doubt told every pony that your reign has come to an end." Future Flurry Heart said as the crystal heart began to glow.

"Lot of good that will do you, I--" Future Zero said before a time portal opened up above Future Flurry Heart. "What?! BUT THE SPELL IS IN PIECES!" Future Zero exclaimed.

"I know the spell by heart Zero. After all, my aunt was Princess Twilight, the rightful ruler of Equestria. NOT YOU!" Future Flurry Heart said. "Soon, this entire timeline will disappear, alongside those that reside within it. The key word here is that they have to reside in this timeline. And the ponies all know that, and don't care. All they care about is that the crisis that caused everything to happen has been averted." She added.

As Future Flurry Heart started to fly into the portal, Future Zero was in disbelief. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I WAS THIS CLOSE TO HAVING ABOSLUTE CONTROL FOREVER! HOW COULD I LOSE TO TWO LESBIAN BRATS?!" He exclaimed.

"That's easy: You may have absorbed all the world's magic, but there is one magic you were unable to absorb. And that is the magic of friendship!" Future Flurry Heart said before flying through the portal which closed behind her.

Being held back by the Crystal Heart, Future Zero could only watch as his empire slowly faded away, replaced by what he had preventing from happening. "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! THIS SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD I LOSE LIKE THIS!?" Future Zero called out as he too began fading away with all the ponies left in the future.


Present time...

"...You were always the better politician then me." Future Cozy Glow said once Future Flurry Heart finished her tale and then stood down.

"You and I are not like him. We should not have to stoop to his level to stop him. Besides, he's lost. He can never try this sort of act again." Future Flurry Heart said.

"Your right Flurry. All that's left for him, is a one-way ticket to Tartarus. Preferably a cell far away from Tirek." Future Cozy Glow said.

"So, I'm guessing the two of you are stuck here in the past now permanently?" Ocellus asked.

"That's correct. Though I do have one last question for Future Flurry Heart here." Future Cozy Glow said.

"Oh? And what have I not already made clear?" Future Flurry Heart asked.

"I was just wondering that, for how long you made me wait, we go somewhere private so you can make up for lost time." Future Cozy Glow said. "What do you say to that, Flurry?" She asked, circling a hoof on Future Flurry Heart's chest.

FWOMP! Future Flurry Heart's wings suddenly shot up. "...You were always the better tactician than me. And you always know just which button to push." The future alicorn said. "I suppose I do owe you quite a bit. I'm sure my Auntie Twilight won't mind letting us have some privacy." She added before the pair of future lesbian lovers then flew off.

"...Dang. That's just all kind of wow. How'd I end up with a super genius kid?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Beats me. And ah thought my sister coming out and telling me she's gay was the only thing ah thought would surprise me. Guess that was wrong." Applejack said.

"Oh really? Whose Apple Bloom even gay for?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Think you know. Did ya really think I wouldn't catch onto your advances, Deets?" Apple Bloom asked.

"...Oh boy. Not here Apps." Diamond Tiara said.

"...And I say Apple Bloom is no longer oblivious." Silver Spoon said.

"Too right." Scootaloo said.

...I had to link that because of how many times I wrote the word future in this chapter. Can you blame me?
