The next day, all of Equestria came together in a day of mourning. The Princess Twilight was dead...committed suicide in her own room. Found by her brother, Prince Shining Armor, only a few moments later. He refuses to leave the castle...let alone his room. The parents of the two are found crying next to Twilight's open casket. Luna and Celestia are found at the front of the enormous crowd of gatherers.

Luna: My fellow ponies...It pains me to say that our precious Twilight Sparkle has moved on. But do not just dwell on her death...remember her past...the friends she made. The adventures she had...*tears up* the one she loved...

Luna buried her face into her older sister's shoulder and weeped. Celestia nuzzled her dear sister and stood tall.

Celestia: My sister is right. Respect her by keeping the good memories in your hearts.

A few hours later, everypony went home...leaving the two princesses alone. Celestia was wandering around the castle looking for her younger sister. As she rounded the corner from the garden, she found Luna sitting alone.

Celestia: Sister?

Luna: ....

Celestia: Luna...are you alright?

Luna: No sister...I am not...She was so young...and she helped me return to you...and she was my special somepony Celestia. I loved her more than the kingdom itself. I would give up my royalty to be with her again...

Celestia: I did not know...

Luna: We had made arrangements to tell you. But then...*body shakes* Then she left us...

Luna sobbed heavily and placed her face in her hooves. Celestia sat next to her sister and wrapped a hoof around her and began to cry with her....

Shadow Blitz , captain of Luna's royal guard, looked down upon them and a tear rolled down his expressionless face. When he looked up at the sky he could have sworn he saw Twilight's face in the clouds.

Shadow: T-Twilight?...no...I'm seeing things...

Shadow Blitz returned to his post and left the two alicorns alone.

There was a loud *CRASH* and Shadow immediately turned to the source. Laying there on the ground in a bloody pool...was Shining Armor...Shadow watched as the life left his eyes.

Shadow: Prince Armor!

The guard called for help but there was no helping this...Another had died...and he witnessed it...he began to hyperventilate, not knowing what to do. A group of doctors ran up and carried the lifeless body of the once proud Prince Shining Armor to the medical ward. He turned and saw Luna in his face.

Luna: Why did you not help!?

Shadow: P-Princess...what was I to do?

Luna: You are relieved of duty!

Shadow: Princess please don't fire me! I-

Luna: LEAVE. NOW!
