The Sacrifices We Make

Rainbow Dash slammed open her door. The inside of her house was dark and messy, and she wasn't in any mood to fix that. She walked in, and bucked the door shut. It slammed, and the cracked. Rainbow trudged up to her room, destroying the small vase that was sitting on her counter. When she got in her room, the first thing she did was get out her photo album. She had pictures of all of her friends in there. She skipped the Pinkie section, the Rarity section, and the Applejack section before she finally got to the Fluttershy section. She stared at the pictures of cute little Fluttershy, and began to blush. She looked through a couple more, then closed the book. She knew if she looked at one more picture she would burst into tears. Rainbow had nothing more to do, so she decided to just go to bed.

When Dash woke up the next morning, she almost forgot about Fluttershy. She was actually in a decent mood until she remembered. Then she smashed a framed picture of her when she was a filly. Rainbow trudged into the kitchen and made some toast. When the toast was done, she sat at the counter to eat. The house was so quiet that all you could hear was the crunching on the toast. When she finished, she went into the bathroom. She was looking for something. She rummaged through her closet until she finally found it. A rope. She went upstairs and began tying the rope to her fan. "Goodbye cruel world. I'll miss you, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity. Please don't miss me too much." And with that, Dash put her head in the knot.

Twilight walked silently through the forest, watching her surroundings. She had decided that a walk to The Castle Of The Two Pony Sisters was just what she needed to relax. "I hope the girls are doing okay." She thought. She was actually nervous for her friends. She knew that death had a powerful effect on ponies, and could make them do terrible things. soon twilight had arrived. She trotted through the spooky castle until she reached the library. She used her magic to levitate a stack of books, then she went upstairs to go read them.

Twilight had gotten about half-way through the stack when she reached an odd looking book. It was extremely dusty, and had an odd picture on the cover. It looked like a small, glowing pearl. twilight opened up the book and began to read:

The Orb of reincarnation is a very mysterious object. It appears to be a pearl, but in truth, can bring back the dead. it is found at the end of Equestria, in a ancient ruin. twilight gasped. This was what what she needed. She could bring back Fluttershy.
