This Day Has Been Just Perfect

The entrance light was nothing but a little white speck now. They had been walking for what felt like forever. Fortunately, the labyrinth spell had not yet taken place on them yet. Allowing them to move on without getting lost. For now.

“Wait y’all. Do ya feel that?”  Applejack asked. The tan mare felt like something was coming.

“The spell is making its way towards us now. Come and stay close to me while I break the spell.” Princess Celestia ordered. The rest followed immediately.

Princess Celestia raised her horn as it began to glow with magic. She released the spell and it shot up into the ceiling. A yellow, magic ripple went through out the caves. Sooner or later would make its way to Twilight and Cadance.

They both felt it. The moving of the walls. But it didn't seem that the walls in their area had moved a bit. They looked around, to see that nothing has changed.

The lavender unicorn looked at the pink alicorn in confusion. They were both thinking the same thing. ‘What was that?’

But soon more confusion came as a rush of magic energy went through them knocking them out.

The walls moved to their original tunnel placements. The white alicorn took a long deep breath to slow her breathing. That spell was a very strong one and almost knocked her out. But she stayed focused and determined. That is what always keeps her in the form she is. Wise and powerful.

“Princess? Ya okay?” Applejack asked.

“Yes, Applejack, I’m fine. I just had to use a lot of magic to break the spell through the entire Canterlot Caves. Thank you for your concern, though.” She smiled at the concerned crowd to show she was alright.

“Ugh, we're on the clock here!” Rainbow yelled to make them hurry up. She didn't want her friend to die. No pony wanted Princess Cadance and Twilight to die.

“Yer right, Rainbow. C’mon!” With a race against time that ran as fast as they could to find their dear friends.

Cadance woke up to see a sleeping, lavender unicorn. She looked around to see the walls had moved but they were back to normal. If that is what the Canterlot Caves’ pathways usually looked like.

“Twilight?” Twilight didn't budge or move a single muscle. “Twilight?!”

Twilight just wouldn't wake up.

Cadance thought the worst thing possible. ‘Oh no! From her body shutting down from no water and food to the high magic energy wave, her body much have gone into a coma or something. This is not good!’

She had no alternative at this point. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she let this pony die. So she used her magic to pick up the half dead pony. Though her heart beat was stable, she would die so soon, it was scary.

Though the pony must have weighed only a small handful. It felt like sixty pounds on Cadance’s back. But she kept pushing forward.

Soon she saw light come into view. As things started to get blurry from exhaustion, she saw six ponies come into view. They were rushing, but they were also a good ten meters away. That is when everything went black.

They thought they were seeing things. There was a pink, limping alicorn walking towards them with what looked like a purple unicorn on the back of the alicorn. The happy moment turned to sheer worry in a matter of seconds, as the alicorn dropped to the ground.The unicorn laying right next to her.

They picked up their speed and rushed to the two fallen mares. There they lay. Both in a deep sleep. For, though, one seems to be worse than the other.

‘My dear Twilight and Cadance.’ Celestia thought. This broke her heart. Twilight was stable, but she wouldn't be for long. She needed to get out of there and quick.

“Here, I’ll get Cadance you five get Twilight.” Celestia ordered as she carried Cadance onto her back with her magical grip.

The rest did as they were told. Rainbow and Fluttershy took to the side to keep Twilight from falling off the backs of Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack. They ran at even pace with the princess. And made it out of the caves.

Luckily, the queen allowed some ponies to work in a hospital for those who are sick. So when the queen heard of Twilight and Cadance being brought in. She was okay with it though she was fairly angry that they couldn't have stayed for a bit longer. She knew Twilight wouldn't wake up in time to say a word or eat and neither would Cadance. This enjoyed her the most. They would die and Celestia would not be fit to rule due to her niece and student’s death.

‘Ha! Ha! This was so easy. I believe they are going to leave their pitiful lives. I will cherish in the moment they do.’ The queen thought as her victory was taking place.

They brought Twilight and Cadance in and the doctors rushed to Twilight and Cadance’s side. At this point Twilight’s pulse and heart rate were slowing and the doctors were trying to wake her of her coma so she could eat, drink and  get better. But all they could do is put an I.V. in her arm. This helped her a bit and made her stable but for how long they didn't know.

Cadance moans and grumbles as she wakes up. She looks around her surroundings to find herself in the hospital. AS she remembered the most recent events, she bolted up to see Princess Celestia walk through the door.

    “Welcome back to Canterlot, Cadance. Glad to see you alive and and well,” Princess Celestia welcomed.

    “Where’s Twilight? What about Queen Chrysalis?” Cadance rushed.

    “Chrysalis and I have made truce. She leaves us alone, we give her offspring a place to stay without them hurting us or us hurting them. While Twilight on the other hoof is well... um... well...” Celestia stuttered.

    “What? Is she...” Cadance couldn’t think of it. Twilight couldn’t be, could she? “I have to see her!”

    “You see well enough to be able to move with a supervisor. Very well, I will take you to her,” Celestia responded reluctant to say the rest. “Though I don’t think you will enjoy what you see.”

    Cadance hops out of bed and follows Celestia through the hallways. When they reach Twilight Sparkle’s room, Princess Cadance gasped and ran to the bedside.

    “Cadance!” Shining Armor unwillingly yelled in shock. “What are you doing up?” He looked straight at Celestia.

    “She is better almost full health. In which is faster than what I expected.” Celestia stated.

    “Really?” Shining Armor looked back at the sobbing Alicorn who sat next to the unawaking Unicorn.

    Everyone in the room was either in shock at the speed Cadance healed or scared of what was to come of Twilight. They stared at the two ponies that were next to each other. From the Mane Six to the weeping family. They were all worried of the health of both mares.

    Twilight gave a slight whimper of pain. Though no one knew how someone in a coma could give a whimper of pain, she did. Cadance, being the princess of emotions, could feel many emotions. Though she didn’t know much about medical magic, she was able to do pain killing magic.

    Twilight gave a breath of relief as Cadance gave a small dosage of pain killer magic into Twilight’s body. For the first time in what felt like weeks, Twilight’s eyes fluttered open. She looked around to see she was in the hospital surrounded by her friends, family, and mentor.

    She whispers, "I'm glad I knew you all... and before I leave this world... promise me that you will move on. That you will not mourn over my loss for all your lives.”

    They all gasped as what she said sunk in. Could she really be giving up?

    Applejack stepped forward, “Ah cannot promise something that ah do not know ah can keep. But ah will promise one thing. That ah will try my hardest, to not mourn over you for all of time.”

    “What Applejack said.” Rainbow Dash stated.

    “We all do.” Twilight Velvet said.

    With a smile Twilight closed her eyes and her pulse meter went from weak to flat in a matter of seconds.

Celestia however stepped forward and placed her horn over Twilight heart. Her horn glowed brightly as she casted a spell over Twilight’s body. When she backed away Twilight body radiated brighter than anything anyone has ever seen.

The pulse meter started to move and beep once again and Twilight began to come back to life and once again breathe. They all stared at Celestia. They had noticed bumps where the wings of a pegasus would be. Twilight started to wake.

“What happened?” Twilight mumbled and started to sit up.

As she did so, she revealed the bumps under the blankets. She looked down to see them herself. They were wings. She was an Alicorn! She looked at Celestia concerned and curious for an answer.

Celestia said, "You are now immortal and a princess."

Twilight asks, “Why, Princess?”

Celestia responds calmly, "It was the only way to save your life.You have also showed the things a princess needs to be a princess. You showed everything that you needed and more. You deserve to be a princess, Twilight.”

“Thank you, I think,” Twilight says nervously. She looked around at the rest of her friends and family. “And thank you. If it wasn’t for you, we would have never gotten out of those caves.’ Twilight says and smiles at Cadance.

“You’re our friend Twilight, and friends do anything for each other.” R.D. said.
