- Twilight Sparkle: A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends, thank you, everypony.
- Twilight Sparkle: [after the Elements of Harmony transport her to an astral plane] Hello? Where am I? What is this place?
- Princess Celestia: Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it.
- Twilight Sparkle: Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?
- Princess Celestia: You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do.
- [Shows the completed spell]
- Princess Celestia: The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight.
- Twilight Sparkle: Ready? Ready for what?
- [Celestia shows flashbacks of all her adventures]
- Princess Celestia: [singing] You've come such a long, long way./And I've watched you from that very first day./To see how you might grow/To see what you might do/To see what you've been through/And all the ways you've made me proud of you./It's time now for a new change to come./You've grown up and your new life has begun,/To go where you will go,/To see what you will see./To find what you will be./For it's time for you to fulfill your destiny!
- Applejack: Twilight? Is that you?
- [Twilight stands and extends her newly grown alicorn wings; the others gasp]
- Applejack: Wha... I-I've never seen anythin' like it!
- Rainbow Dash: Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!
- Rarity: Why, you've become an Alicorn! I didn't even know that was possible.
- Pinkie Pie: ALICORN PARTY!
- [Swings back and forth wearing fake wings and blows a party horn]
- Fluttershy: Wow, you look just like a princess!
- Princess Celestia: [Coasts on the ground] That's because she *is* a princess.
- Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash: HUH?
- Pinkie Pie: Hold on a second!
- [Drinks water and does a spit-take]
- Twilight Sparkle: A... A princess?
- Princess Celestia: Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess.
- Twilight Sparkle: But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?
- Princess Celestia: Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all *your* students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight.
- [She and the other ponies bow to her]
- Twilight Sparkle: But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?
- Princess Celestia: There will be time for all of that later.
