Heartwarming / The Tears of Gaia

• The ponies leaving Canterlot to go off on their adventure, with Pinkie leading them in a travelling-song.
• Rarity slowly earning the respect of Gellert, culminating in him actually congratulating her for her progress in the two previous challenges, and wishing her 'good luck' before the Fight.
• Yarrow and Fluttershy spending their time alone together at the end of chapter 17.
• Even sweeter, when Fluttershy manages to pluck up the courage to kiss Yarrow the night before the final attack on Burzkala in chapter 23.
  • Hell, pretty much the whole relationship between Fluttershy and Yarrow is adorable from start to finish. Especially when he moves in with her in the epilogue!
