So Twilight created the Council of Friendship. Twilight had to return to Canterlot to take up the throne, but her friends had to stay in Ponyville to continue with their lives.

Of course, the biggest problem they had to face is one that all friends must face - to say goodbye. Before this future, Twilight and her friends had many problems to confront, like protecting Equestria from its most dangerous and evil villains (King Sombra, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow), finding the best gift ever for Hearth's Warming, bring color back to Hope Hollow, and prepare to rule over Equestria. At the same time, dictator-turned-counselor Starlight Glimmer runs Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship as the new headmare with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and half the Young Six as its teachers. Her best friends, her #1 Assistant and royal adviser Spike silly party Earth Pony and mother Pinkie Pie awesome loyal Pegasus and Captain of the Wonderbolts Rainbow Dash hardworking honest Earth Pony Applejack fabulously generous Unicorn fashionista Rarity, and shy kind Pegasus and animal caretaker Fluttershy, would rule the kingdom beside her. She had come a long way, and she is now Equestria's new ruler. Celestia knew Twilight was the one to succeed her and Luna.

:( (Sad) This was when Princesses Celestia and Luna retired from royalty and passed on the paton to Twilight Sparkle, who was once a studious Unicorn student busy reading books than making friends, and once she made friends she realized how wonderful friendship was and became the Princess of Friendship, reaching out to all, pony and non-pony alike. mlp mane 6 (hug) plz mlp mane 6 (group hug) #3 plz mlp mane 6 (group hug) #2 plz Derpy It's the third day of our pony pals and the magic of friendship! :D (Big Grin) Though today is actually the day when the greatest cartoon came to its bittersweet end on October 12, 2019.
