Behind the Corner

Epilogue

Back in Ponyville, three mares were trotting towards the Sugarcube Corner. The bakery hadn't changed at all. It was still a house made of candy, where friends could meet and talk about their daily life.

Twilight Sparkle was a detective working at a nearby station. After seeing that her knowledge could greatly help investigations she had undergone extreme training to prepare for any situation, where her life could be endangered. As a result her physique had greatly improved - her legs had become firmer, longer and more muscular during the years. Twilight could even keep up with Applejack and Rainbow Dash in the annual marathons. On the other hoof, she hadn't changed her visual appearance much. The only different thing was her favourite old-school detective's hat.

The young mare walking beside her was barely recognizable - a redhead in sunglasses with a loose mane, which would always get messy in strong wind. She was respected by all - Apple Bloom had found herself in lab work. She was usually wearing a white coat and glasses, sometimes even a yellow suit in case dangerous chemicals were involved, but those all were her work clothes.

Pinkie Pie was still a party animal at heart, but her general appearance had changed greatly, because she often needed to meet business partners. Pink, wavy, random mane was just not an option. Pinkie Pie now had a straight mane, which had one black line dyed in it. Usually seen in a suit she was able to get the best deals in all of Equestria.

The three sat at a table.

"The usual please," Pinkie asked a young filly who was now working at Sugarcube Corner.

"Yes, mam," the filly trotted away.

"Pinkie?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, how where you able to get so many deals for sweets? I mean, you could barely cook back in the day."

"That's easy just work hard and never give up."

"Everypony could say, you must know some secret for success," Apple Bloom wasn't satisfied with the answer.

"It's all about trying."

"Same thing."

"No, I mean that you should always try out different kinds of stuff even those that look scary, hard or even impossible."

"That usually doesn't end up well anyway."

"You have a point, ponies are not good at everything, but that's not what I meant."

"I am listening," Apple Bloom was rather sceptical.

"Possibilities are around every corner you only need to open your mind and reach them."
