Five weeks later

Twilight exited her castle and looked out into Ponyville to see how things have changed and the changes to come.

Ever since the cure was found ponykind has gradually returned and Equestria has been rebuilt, Discord has been hard at work restoring everything.

Some surprising ponies chose to stay dragons though.

Like Granny Smith, though it makes sense in some ways, she’ll live longer as a dragon.

Or the CMC, after learning her sister was staying a dragon to be with Spike, Sweetie opted to request to turn back into a dragon as well, with Starlight's help, Scootaloo wanted to as well because she likes the idea her wings may grow out more as a dragoness than as a mare.

And Apple Bloom simply because she didn’t want to be the odd one out.

Starlight and Sunburst chose to stay dragons as well and some ponies can clearly see they like eachother.

Shining Armor and Cadance wanted to stay dragons as well, surprisingly enough, they found ways to make new experiences as dragons.

And more, Twilight could go on and on about it, if Ignia did one good thing, she brought ponies and dragons closer to understanding each other. Celestia and Luna have made sure to integrate dragons and has performed peace conferences with Ember with Spike at her side to ease any tensions between dragons and ponies that existed before.

Each day just seems more exciting than the last.

And yet as she walked out of the castle and to a familiar building she had a good idea of what was going on today.

A wedding, and not just any wedding, a double wedding for two of her friends.

Twilight flew over the wedding set-up, and she smiled as she saw dragons amidst the ponies, it took effort on Discord’s part to set up Ponyville as the first of many towns to have both dragons and ponies living in it.

As Twilight landed she saw the two brides getting ready.

Rarity and Fluttershy.

They were wearing outfits designed by Rarity and aided by Discord.

And while Rarity was humming and getting her make-up done on a large make-up counter, Fluttershy was flustered and looking scared.

“It’s too soon… it’s too soon…” Fluttershy was hyperventilating.

“Hey heeey, Fluttershy, calm down, I get your worried, but Razer is a nice guy, I’m certain you both will be happy,” Twilight said, remembering when Fluttershy came back a week after she ran off to the dragonlands, she remembered the awkward talk when she announced they… sealed the deal, and he proposed to her.

She’s been worried ever since if she’s ready for this.

“Fluttershy dearie, if anything should happen I am here,” Rarity assured her shaking friend.

“I just never imagined I’d be married so soon, I’m scared,” Fluttershy said.

“It’s alright, just follow my lead,” Rarity said, ushering Twilight out.

“Alright, have fun,” Twilight said as she went out into the crowd and saw Celestia and Luna, both ponies again.

“Hello princesses,” Twilight said.

“Hello Twilight, I admit this is the first dragon wedding I’ve ever attended,” Luna said.

“It will be exciting,” Celestia said.

“I agree, Fluttershy is nervous but I reassured her,” Twilight said.

“Then we wait and see how it works out,” Celestia said.

Spike and Razer were getting ready to stand at the altair.

“To think my day finally came… hey, why are you crying?” Spike asked, turning to Razer who was crying.

“I’m just so happy, so very happy!” Razer cried.

“Dude, dry the tears before you go up there, you don’t want Fluttershy thinking you're sad about this whole thing,” Spike said.

“Yeah, ok,” Razer wiped his eyes and peeked out from behind the curtain.

“Alright, it’s almost time,” Spike said.

“Do my spines look ok? Did I get my scales shined enough?” Razer asked

“You look great, now come on,” Spike said as they exited onto the altar.

The wedding began and the CMC ran down the aisle, their claws clacking on the floor of the church and they giggled as they threw petals into the air.

Meanwhile The citizens of Ponyville watched on and Discord was playing wedding music.

As they ran past the others saw the bride dragons in their dresses and veils making their way.

In front of them were Fluttershy’s and Rarity’s fathers, making sure to stay ahead of them so they don’t get stepped on and when they got to the altar they stood off to the side as their dragon daughters stood there with their husbands to be.

Their wedding vows were read aloud, what was different was that Ember came personally to be the officiant.

And she seemed to be a tad uncomfortable doing it the pony way but Celestia insisted.

As the two dragonesses made their way to the altar and joined hands with their husbands to be, all was perfect.

“For the first time, a dragon ceremony in Equestria, let us give thanks to Celestia and Luna, for helping in this,” Ember read out the lines but pretended she came up with them.

“Hey…” Razer said.

“Hi…” Fluttershy said.

“You look beautiful,” Razer said.

“And you're a handsome drake,” Fluttershy said.

“Ahem!” Ember not so subtly cleared her throat and the two jumped.

“Sorry,” They said.

“Anyways, since dragons mostly just get right to living with eachother, let’s speed past the other parts and get right to it," Ember said flipping through some pages.

"That wasn't in the script..." Luna sighed, knowing she was going to do this.

"It is fine, as long as the wedding proceeds as planned," Celestia chuckled.

Ember cleared her throat a little before resuming "do you take these drakes to love and to bear whelps with?” Ember asked.

“Yes,” Rarity and Fluttershy said.

“And do you drakes take these dragonesses, to build for them a mighty hoard with and guard it from now until the day you die?” Ember asked.

“I do,” Spike and Razer said.

“Then by the power of the dragonlord, and the flames of the dragonlands I bind you all as mates, you may kiss the brides,” Ember said.

And they proceeded to bring their brides in for a deep kiss.

Shining Armor wiped a tear as Twilight sat on his shoulder.

“I love happy endings, right Twiley,” Shining said.

“Always,” Twilight said.

Two in a half years later

Twilight hurried through the air alongside Rainbow.

“I told you not to oversleep!” Twilight scolded.

“Sorry! I got a little tipsy from last night's party!” Rainbow defended.

“We have to get there,” Twilight said as they flew up the mountainside next to Ponyville.

Finally, they made it to the caveside and approached the entrance where most of Ponyville and all of Fluttershy’s animals had gathered to witness.

As they made their way to the entrance they relaxed when then saw they didn’t miss it, even though they had to duck several blasts of fire from within the cave...

Fluttershy was laying on her and her husband's hoard of gems, breathing gouts of flames as she was giving birth to a clutch of eggs.

“IT HURTS!” Fluttershy cried.

“It’s alright dear, just push through it,” Rarity said, sporting her own pregnant belly but she is focused on Fluttershy’s birthing.

“It’s crazy to think she got pregnant the day after the wedding, and she’s already giving birth,” Rainbow said.

“Celestia theorizes it could be because she used to be a pony that the draconic gestation period was shortened, remember?” Twilight said.

“Guess so,” Rainbow said.

“Come on, almost there,” A black drake said as he aided her.

“You got this Shy,” Spike said and Razer was by her side, holding her claw.

Fluttershy gave another push and then relaxed panting heavily.

“Good, that’s egg number three, you're done,” The drake said as he held up a few eggs.

“Let me see them,” Fluttershy begged and the drake carefully handed the freshly laid eggs, one was red with blue stripes, one was pink with yellow dots, and the last was oddly green with brown spots.

“Our kids are in there,” Razer said happily.

“Our beautiful babies,” Fluttershy said tearfully.

“We’d like some private time with our eggs,” Razer requested and the others nodded and left.

“Whew, that was stressful, and I wasn’t even the one giving birth,” Spike chuckled.

“Don’t get too comfortable darling, I’m not far off myself,” Rarity said lovingly.

“And I look forward to it dear,” Spike said as the two made their way back to the others.

“I’m so happy for them,” Twilight said.

“I am too,” Pinkie said.

“Let’s get going,” Rarity ushered the crowd on as she glanced back at Fluttershy rocking the eggs in her arms and cooing to them.

As the ponies and dragons made it back home Twilight trotted on home, looking around she smiled.

Dragons helping ponies with their daily tasks, and ponies are not afraid of dragons anymore.

Ironically Ignia made a utopia alright, one where everypony and dragon is a little closer, much different then what she intended and that made it all the more ironic.

Looking at Carosel Boutique, she saw Spike helping a pregnant Rarity inside with Sweetie Belle following them.

She saw a draconic Pinkie Pie working at Sugarcube Corner.

She saw Granny Smith taking a walk without any need for support.

There have been talks between royals and the idea of dragons integrating into Equestria has been discussed.

All in all there has been talks of a new name for the nation that would result from The Dragon lands and Equestria uniting, Serpentina.

Not an ideal name for a nations of both ponies and dragons but it may work one day.

And so Twilight moved on, into her castle to begin another great day.

In Serpentina.

Epilogue

One year ago

A figure entered Tartarus, showing credentials the two guards, one a dragon and the other a pony stepped aside and the figure went in.

The figure walked past Cerberus, and made his way down into the darkest depths of Tartarus.

And approached Ignia, who looked almost emaciated in comparison to how she originally looked.

“Hello,” The figure said.

“Hello… I suppose you're here to gloat about finding the cure, it seems my plans had the opposite effect from what I intended, instead of dragonkind ruling the world, now dragons and ponies have never been closer…. I am disgusted with the world I accidentally made…” Ignia spat.

“I’m not here to listen to you lament your failures, you and I need to talk,” The figure said.

“Ah… I figured this was coming, what is it?” Ignia asked.

“What you told me… in the forest, was it true?” the figure revealed to be Spike demanded.

“Of course, of anything I’ve ever said, that was true,” Ignia said looking him in the eye.

“I always wondered…. And now that I know, i’m disgusted,” Spike said.

“I heard your marrying a pony… to think… my bloodline would become so tainted,” Ignia said with a disappointed look in her eyes.

“You don’t have to worry, I have no intention of ever letting you see them, in fact, after this talk, your dead to me, I just need to know one thing,” Spike said walking up to her and looking her dead in the eye “What happened to my dad? Because I know he wasn’t Magmus,” Spike demanded.

“How do you know?” Ignia asked.

“Torch knew Magmus, and he was steril, which means I still have a father I can turn to, where. Is. he?” Spike demanded.

“Heheheh… he’s long dead, I needed an heir and he was useful for that much, and that much alone…” Ignia chuckled.

“I don’t believe you,” Spike said.

“Why?” Ignia asked with a sick sweetness.

“Because, I know you, and with your help or not, I’ll find him one day,” Spike said before turning to leave.

“See you again one day… son,” Ignia said before laughing.

“Goodbye,” Spike said before heading back up the path out of there.
