What if....

Twilight Sparkle flew towards the grand city of Canterlot. She had in tow a bunch of flowers, all chosen out and bought by each of her friends. She soon arrived at the capital, but was soon stopped by two guards.

“Halt, who goes there!?” They pointed their staves at the intruder, but soon lifted their weapons as soon as they realized who it was.

“Our apologies Princess Twilight Sparkle, we are just on the lookout, you can’t be too careful after all these attacks on the city.”

Twilight smiled.

“How can you be so sure that I am Twilight, hmm?”

“We, uhh.”

The guards looked at each other for a minute, then dropped their staves once more.

“Halt, under the name of Princess Celestia. You are under arrest for the…”

Twilight Sparkle dropped her smile.

“Oh, don’t worry, it’s really me, Twilight Sparkle.”

“How can we be so sure that you are Twilight Sparkle?”

“Could a changling do this?”

Twilight’s horned began to glow as a spell came up in her mind. Her horn flashed as she shot two beams at the guards. The beams were immediately absorbed by the guard’s energy shields. Twilight let out a sheepish laugh.

“Uh… oops.”

The guards frowned, then began to power up their staves.

“Hold on!”

The guards lifted up their staves, then turned around to who was addressing them.

“Your majesty.”

“What is going on here?” Princess Celestia asked in a soft tone.

“This changling is attempting to enter the city, your majesty.”

“That’s not a changling, that’s Twilight Sparkle.” The Princess smiled.

“But how do you know that?” The guards questioned.

“I know Twilight Sparkle.”

“But how?”

The Princess sighed.

“Twilight, please take off your shield apparatus.”

Twilight nodded, then took off the large crystal on her chest.

“There. What are you going to do Princess?” Twilight asked.

“This.” Princess Celestia then shot a beam of light at Twilight Sparkle, who flinched, but the beam of light didn’t do anything.

“There, see, she isn’t a changling.”

“Huh, very well, you may pass Princess Twilight Sparkle.”

Twilight Sparkle thanked the guards, then placed the crystal back on her chest. She then walked back up to the Princess.

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight ran up to the princess and gave her a hug.

“Twilight, my dear. What brings you here?”

“I was told they finally finished the statue.

“You were told correct, Twilight. They did finish the statue. Why don’t we go see it right now?”

Twilight nodded.

“Lead the way, princess.”

Twilight, with her flowers in tow, followed the princess. Princess Celestia led Twilight through the castle and into the princess’ personal indoor garden.

Memories of the revival of Charlie came back into her mind, bringing a few tears to her eyes. They then walked towards the middle of the garden, where a large statue sat in it. It was a statue of Charlie. He had his right hand sticking out, as if he were motioning to stop. Twilight and the princess walked up in front of the statue, where they stopped. Twilight decided to look at the statue some more. In his left arm was a filly, who Twilight recognized as…

“Hey Princess, isn’t that me?”

“Yes it is, Twilight. Why don’t you look at the bottom of the statue as well?”

Twilight focused her attention at the bottom, where she noticed 7 other fillies, and a dragon.

“Hey, it’s my friends, and that’s Spike! But wait, who’s that?” She pointed at the other two fillies.

“That’s me and Luna, Twilight. So, what do you think of it.” The princess asked, smiling.

“I think it’s beautiful, Princess.” Twilight smiled back.

“I agree. I also placed the original crystal where his heart would be, so it looks like his heart is glowing.”

Twilight then turned around, and grabbed the flowers she chose out. She walked up to the statue, where she placed the flowers next to a plaque, which she looked at and read out loud.

“Happiness is Friendship

Friendship is Forever.”

The End.
