As the Princess collapsed onto the stage, Boss was taken back. He had never seen such emotion being portrayed before. Watching the princess like this seemed to drain all moral from his body, leaving him feeling tired defeated. He noticed Shade must have been feeling the same thing as she had the same reaction. Boss puts on a fake smile and looks at her in an attempt to comfort her. He leans down so that they were eye to eye. "Shade, I want you to go with Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Twilight to help the princess. You could be more help than I. I'll stay here and give assistance to Diehard, Pinkie and Fluttershy. We need to get this place under control. Who knows what the citizens of Equestria must be thinking, Panic and confusion. We need to control the situation. I'll see you soon." He gives Shade a kiss on her cheek and watches as she goes with Celestia and the others. He then turns and looks over the situation. It was chaos. Panicked breeds were shouting and worrying, There was arguing and much, much confusion, He runs up to Diehard's side and taps his shoulder. "Uh... do you have a plan?" Diehard leans in and speaks his plan. Together, with the help of Pinkie and Fluttershy, slowly begin to round of the citizens and bring order back to Equestria.
Celestia lay in the medical ward, unconscious from the emotional trauma she had underwent. Panicked doctors and nurses were frantically running around. Performing all sorts of tests, attempting to figure out what had happened the the once lively, glowing princess who was now dull and tired. The elements and Shade watched as test after test was performed with the same useless results time after time. Time seemed to pass as quick as a sonic rainboom and before anyone knew it, it was dawn of the nest day. Only... no sun rose. Twilight had mustered every ounce of her magical ability to lower the sun and raise the moon, however it had left her completely drained. She lay slumped in a corner, eyes locked on Celestia. She hadn't spoken a word since the ordeal. As time continued, the sun did not rise, and Celestia did not awake. As dusk began to overtake the day, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash sighed and began to trot away from Celestia's bedside. The attempted to get Twilight to move or do something. To get some sleep as she hadn't slept since they arrived at the medical ward 2 days ago. Twilight failed to even acknowledge them, her eyes intently locked on Celestia's body. As the elements realized that Twilight would not budge, they sighed and exited the room, leaving Twilight, Celestia and a few doctors left alone in the room. As soon as the door shut, Twilight lifted her body, stretched her legs, and slowly trotted to Celestia's bedside. Her eyes never leaving Celestia as she does so. As she arrives at her bedside, she looks over the unconscious princess. Celestia's chest slowly rising and lowering at a steady pace. Twilight lifted and placed her hoof on Celestia's chest and began to rub it around. As she did so, she began to sing. She sung softly and soothingly, a loving melody that Celestia used to sing to Twilight when she was just a small foal. For 20 minutes she continued to sing to Celestia, not even sure if it was making any difference. As she finished the very last lyric to the song, she lay down beside Celestia, and snuggled in beside her. She rest her head on Celestia chest, and a tear rolled down Twilight's cheek. As it rolls underneath her chin, it drips off and lands on Celestia chest, as it does so Celestia's eyes snap open.
*** 5 YEARS LATER ***
Boss slowly lifted one eye as light beamed through the window from the early morning sun. He covered his eyes with his hoof and turned over. He arose from his bed and landed heavily on the floor. He stretched his legs and glanced at Shade, who was still sleeping and he smiled. He then continued out of the bedroom and trotted lazily down the staircase where two fillies could be seen. One staring intently at a television screen and the other playfully ramming to action figures together, He sighs and then smiles as he steps outside onto the street and took a deep breath. Peace.
Celestia sat on her throne as she attended to the day court and her royal duties. Pony after pony lined up to speak to her and she kindly greeted them all. Twilight stood faithfully at her side, beaming as she looked around the entire palace. Twilight had become Celestia's personal assistant and royal advisor. A gong rang from behind her throne signalling the end of the morning court. Celestia stood and comfortably stretched as the many ponies began to gather and exit the palace, disappointed they didn't get a chance with the princess. Celestia begins to peacefully trot towards the door and nods her had, motioning Twilight to follow. "Come Twilight. Walk with me." Twilight happily obliged and runs to Celestia's side as they saunter through the royal gardens.
