Denial

                  As Twilight walked through the portal, memories flashed by her. Her exam, her first friend, and the downfall of Celestia.

She grimaced at what she done. Midnight encouraged her to keep going, even at bad memories. Then she stopped. It was a carriage spiraling down a cliff.

                "Do you remember this?" the negative colored pony asked. Twilight refused to tell her. Midnight, in a bout of annoyance, shoved Twilight through the memory. There was nothing at first, then a flash of light appeared. It was night, and a young Twilight was tucked in, her mother by her side.

                   "But mommy, I don't wanna go to Manehattan for a vacation! I wanna be with Celestia!" the filly whined. The mother shushed her quickly, then pulled out a jewelery box. It played a tune, and at some point the older pony started to sing,

              "Hold me, hold me, in your hooves, I shall never leave you.

Hold me, hold me, I will protect you. And if you love me a lot, I will forever be with you...." When the tune ended, there was another flash of light. It showed a carriage driving down the mountain of Canterlot.  The fillies were complaining about being hungry, being bored, being tired, and other things. Then, the argument began. They were fighting about stuff that does not need to be argued about.

                   "Star Trot is better than Axes and Alicorns! Sci-fi rules!"

              "Mommy is better than Daddy!"

                   "I hate you, Shining Armor!"

                 "I hate you, Twilight Sparkle!"

And then, a fight began. It was just biting and punching, but it got worse. It got out of hand, and Twilight accidentally kicked her mom's face, who ended up bumping into her father, who was driving the carriage, and lost control. The carriage spiraled the very, very narrrow road they were on. And when things could not get any worse, it fell off the edge! It spiraled down the mountain. Twilight hid in a suitcase, and survived the crash. But when she got out, she could not see her mom or dad anywhere. She searched the site, afraid she was alone.   But when Twilight found her parents, it was not what she expected. They were dead. Sobbing quietly, she sang,

               "Hold me, hold me, in your hooves, I shall never leave you.

Hold me, hold me, I will protect you. And if you love me a lot, I will forever be with you...."

                     The memory ended. Twilight exited out of the memory. Midnight walked up to her.

                  "I killed...my parents." Twilight said solemnly. "But I never gave in to the past. Not yet." But Twilight had a little tangle in her mane. Midnight knew that.

Good... Midnight thought. Soon she will die, and her friend's dreams shall be diminished...
