While your transformation yet remains a mystery, you decide that it is one for your future self to solve. For now, the time has come to wrap up the day with one last activity. You ask your companions if they are still up for some extra stargazing, as per Moonflower's suggestion.

Moonflower: "Oh yeah! I know just the spot!"

Apple Basket: "I still got some sugar left in me. Where we goin'?"

You unequip Star Hairpin.

After dropping everything off at your house, you set forth southward, and leave the town's beaten dirt paths far behind. Warm lamplight fades in the distance behind moonlit hills, and soon enough, you are alone together.

Apple Basket: "So, what's this place you found like?"

Moonflower: "You'll see! It's not super far."

Apple Basket: "One of those hills, I reckon? They sure look different at night."

You can't help but agree. Under the shroud of night, vibrant fields of green and yellow have become shaded in dark blue, the soft grass ever waving in the cool gentle breeze. Trees and mountains, once distinct landmarks, now come together and blend into the obscured skyline, leaving but the moon and stars to guide you.

Fortunately, the bat pony has taken the lead, and you continue to follow her while chatting with your friends over the songs of crickets and grasshoppers. Before long, you cross one last valley, and arrive at the foot of a large grassy hill.

Moonflower: "We're here!"

Moonflower excitedly canters up the hill, and you follow after her. As you begin to climb, surrounding heights slowly sink below your own level to reveal those behind them, and then those behind them, the horizon stretching further and further away, until finally, you reach the top.

Apple Basket: "Well, I'll be..."

The sight that greets you takes your breath away; from up here, nothing — not a tree, nor a mountain — stands in the view of the clear night sky. It is as through the land itself had lied down to sleep, save for the small glimmer of a town far to the north.

Moonflower: "Heehee! Ya like it?"

Apple Basket: "It's real nice! Phew... and comfy, too."

You take a seat atop the hill, and look up at the starfields a world away, huddled together warmly under leathered and feathered wings.

Apple Basket: "First an oracle, and now an alicorn. Y'all sure know how to make a humble farmpony feel real special."

You nudge Apple Basket, and playfully tell him that his first adventure didn't end so badly after all.

Apple Basket: "Heh. You can say that again. Don't think I could'a wished for a better ending."

Moonflower: "Oooh, I can think of a way to make it better! Heeheehee..."

You share a giggle, but decide to play along nonetheless. With some increasingly intimate kisses and nuzzles being passed around, the crisp autumn air seemingly grows warmer, each tender caress chasing away the shivers of the night.

And as the flames of love ignite within your hearts once more, you partake in a beautiful heated moment of passion. Then, it calms down. A break. You catch your breath, and gaze upon the ocean of twinkling stars above. And before you know it: a joke, a flattery, and it starts all over again...

By the time you make it home for a much needed bath and a calling bed, the twilight of dawn has begun to glow on the edge of the firmament. You fall fast asleep with a smile on your face, and your friends in embrace...
