Twilight Sparkle, daughter of Night Light and Twilight Velvet, sister and half-sister to former Guard Captain Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza(Cadence), surrogate sister to Spike the dragon, student and unknowing surrogate daughter to Princess Celestia of Equestria...

Was crying...

She was crying because what just happened had shattered her heart like a delicate glassworks ballerina bumped off a table by a child, and had crushed her soul as a hoof crushes a pebble.

What she had been told just a bit ago shocked her to her core.

She was in shock, it would be hard not to be after what she had just been told, her world was now ripped to pieces, turned upside down and assembled like an attempt to solve a jigsaw puzzle in a pitch-black room.

The pony who told her knew she was in shock, they tried to console her but, she couldn't hear them... Her mind was still repeating those last few words...

Mumbling speech"- I am sorry Miss Sparkle but she is dead." those few simple words cracked her world like a mirror, now all she could see was disjointed and broken, uneven and jagged. To Twilight the world was now grey, stony, and cold.

Twilight sat there not moving, not blinking, barely breathing. Four minutes she sat staring at the void, killing time with her unmoving gaze. The pony who told her the horrible news was growing concerned. Sure they were used to shocked victims of bad news but this was like nothing they had experienced before. The pony slowly moved foreword, careful in their movements, as not to scare the mare in front of them.

The pony was in hoofs reach, slowly they reached out, anticipating a loud rebuke stating the news was a lie or maybe even getting hit for joking about something so cruel.

What happened was not what they expected... Twilight broke down crying, groveling at their hooves to say it wasn't true, to say it WAS a cruel joke so she could go about her day. Twilight stumbled foreword, getting close to the news-bringer.

"Please, please tell me it's a lie, that this is all some cruel joke. Because without her I don't know what I'll do..." "What do I do if she is gone?... What do I do about losing her? She's not dead she can't be!" Her fear and anxiety quickly turn to anger, "tell me it's not true! Tell me!!" She shouted as she shook the pony."Please just tell me she's ok, that she just playing a cruel joke on me, please!" Her voice cracked as she broke into tear filled hysterics.

"I am sorry Miss Sparkle, but it's the truth." The pony said in a monotone voice."I am sorry for your loss, we send our condolences and we will be contacting you within the next few days to work out the funeral and the burial place." "We also offer our sympathy to your family as well, we will notify their workplaces of their loss and acquire lodging for them in the nearest hotel." The pony continued, not heard by Twilight, who was in shock after the first response out of the monotonous pony.

"But... B-but... How did she... How did she die...?" She asked quietly.

It was a simple question, but it was a question Twilight didn't want to know the answer to."she died by asphyxiation. It was a daffodil sandwich"The pony said with a hint of sadness.

"Oh Faust."She broke down again as she heard how she died.

"I understand that that was her favorite meal, I'm sorry that this happened." The pony said. They bowed their head and exited the room.

"Wait! Gentle Soul, please, tell me... Tell me she how she looked when she died?" she pleaded.

"The coroner told me she had a smile on her face and what looked like tear marks on her face." Gentle Soul said as the pony walked toward the door once more."She died happy, no doubt about that." With that the pony with the ash grey coat, the Snow White mane, and sky blue eyes walked out the door.

Twilight smiled a hollow smile, she was glad that she died happy, but she was infinitely more sad that the thing that had been their favorite meal in the world and Her first meal had also been the one that had taken Her out of it.

Twilight walked to her bed, laid down, and sobbed into her pillow for all she was worth, which was to her, half of what she used to be when She was still alive. She was half of a set, without her other half, she was useless, broken and hurt, twilight cried herself to sleep.

Twilight awoke to the sound of hooting, next to her head.

She turned to see Owlowiscious perched on her headboard. "Hey there, what are you doing here?" She asked with mock happiness. She looked to the corner of her room, Spikes basket was empty... "Spikes still not back from Canterlot huh?" She states seeing the empty basket.

Owlowiscious hooted and pointed next to twilight, where an extra pillow and small blue fleece blanket with moons and stars lay next to her."Hoo...?" He said in a questioning tone.

Twilight cringed upon seeing the smaller blanket and pillow,"she's not living here anymore Owlowicious..." She said with a sob."she left after eating a sandwich." Twilight started to openly cry now, thinking about the loss of Her was to hard, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore than she could change the tide.

The round owl flapped down to twilight head and nuzzled her and hugged her neck in a feathery embrace, making cooing noises on an effort to calm his friend.

It was no use, the tears flowed down Twilights muzzle and dropped the owls head, gleaming like crystals as they fell.

"Nyx!! Why!? Why you...! Nyx why did it have to be you...!?" Her voice cracked from the anguish of a mother losing her child.

Twilight cried out the agony in her soul the entire night, for those who watched the moon they would have noticed it drop a few tears of moonlight, appearing to cry. The timberwolves howled with Twilights anguished cries creating a sorrowful symphony as Luna cried in her room as she watched from the moons perspective, as she learned of this news, she ended her spell and got up.

Author's Note

This just popped into my head, and I wrote it without hesitation.

It's kinda similar to what recently happened to my cousin and her son.
