History Heartwarming / Progress

** A very small one but after Derpy and The Doctor [[spoiler:Return the Abacus]] and The Doctor thanks her before running off, Derpy stops to give Luna a peck on the cheek before leaving. Daw.

* Luna having Twilight Sparkle help her [[spoiler:raise the moon.]]
* [[spoiler:Luna writing a letter to Celestia in the vein of Twilight's letters, expressing acceptance of her own flaws after seeing how flawed the Mane Six are but knowing they're still a kind, generous, friendly group that have forgiven her for her sins as Nightmare Moon.]]

** Also, Luna's story in general. That pony was so determined, never gave up even when he was injured or starving, and he finally did it, all for her. Then it comes into TearJerker territory when [[spoiler:we find out he sacrificed himself to hold back the Smooze.]]

** [[spoiler:Luna willing to enter Discord's dreamscape and presumably risk herself to ensure he will not harm another pony. Further when you realize that this action was probably undertaken when Luna learned that Sundance was pregnant.]]

* This troper personally finds the whole relationship between Hoyden, Sundance, and Luna to be equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. Hoyden and Sundance are very much the odd couple, but it's sweet how the pony-equivalent of Johnny Knoxville can get along with what can basically be referred to as a G1 pony. Luna's child-like innocence can sometimes make her seem like their own child, while other times, she's more like that goofy friend who always needs an extra hand with whatever mess he made. All-in-all, they're the textbook example of a sitcom match up.
* Luna having Twilight Sparkle help her raise the moon.

* Luna vs Storytelling. "You've still got her." Manly tears.

** Or named her daughter after the province.

* A sly one early in "Ponies in Space": Luna mentions the "Province of Epona". Back in "Luna vs. the Facts of Life", Celestia claimed Epona was one of her children. If she wasn't lying, that means she ''named part of Equestria after her daughter.''
