It had been some time since he had spoken with the young mare known as Starlight Glimmer, who had been working her hardest to change, to unbind the shackles of hatred that once bound so tightly around her heart.

To step forward to her former enemy and apologize for what had happened? It was a big choice to make, and one that was not to easy to do.The old sphinx would nod to her words, having sat at her side the while.

“It is not to easy to forgive someone who once scarred you in your past - especially with one such as your tale.” V’rede mused, his voice low yet comforting. In the moment with the mare, he began to speak as he once did to Gordon: each sentence drawn out, pausing for a second before continuing on.

“Oh, hello there.” The unicorn’s greeting was nothing new to him nowadays, his walk through towns has been filled with questions like these, though he always had to dismiss his connection to royalty whenever it was brought up, as he had no idea if he was even royalty to begin with.

“As far as I know, I am apparently an Alicorn. One of the Princesses I met... Uh... Celestia? They were quite surprised to see me as well.” His wings spread to stretch, a giant wingspan shown. If he wasn’t an alicorn, he most certainly would’ve been a Pegasus with how large his wings were. “With how many ponies have showed interest in me, I can take that... male alicorns are quite rare. So far... I seem to be the only one.”

“Aw, thank you Starlight, that’s sweet of yo-”

Twilight hadn’t even finished her sentence by the time she unwrapped the present. Once she did, however, her words died in her mouth.

There are no words to describe how Twilight felt upon seeing the inscription and picture on the cup. It was silly, but this was something that made her incredibly happy. It’s the kind of gift she always wanted. A nerdy sort of teacher-wish-fulfillment.

With a smile, she leaned forward and wrapped a hoof around Starlight in a tight hug.

✰ ━ Trixie’s ears perk up, and as soon as she pokes her head outside she’s bombarded with affection by her bestie. She grins stupidly.

It was the middle of the night and Twilight Sparkle had just slipped inside the castle in Ponyville.  This wasn’t the Princess Twilight everypony knew, however.  This Twilight was cold and hardened by ambitions of pure malice.  Having traverse through time and space from the future, this Twilight had her eyes set on complete domination over all of Equestria. 

Of course, such goals take time and preparation.  That was why she was here.  Her more benevolent incarnation had a massive library filled with a vast amount of magical knowledge.  Much of it having been transferred from the restricted section of the Canterlot Library.  All she needed to do was acquire those tomes without being detected and her plans would have a foundation.

⋆☆:: Bright green eyes went wide when Starlight moved to stand on her hind legs.. on a table. Oh man, ponies really were short, which was something he tended to forget when one of them seemed to want to get on his level. But the kiss itself was the most shocking.

Needless to say, Capper wasn’t about to let an opportunity like this go to waste.

Before Starlight had the chance to get down, the feline reached to hold her in place; a soft purr rumbling from his throat. ::☆⋆  

⋆☆:: “That was nice and all, but you missed~,” he teased.
