Shining Armor sighed as he looked at his little sister's grave marker in the family graveyard.

"Hey Twiliy. Sorry I haven't been around lately, school has been pretty rough on me with all the studying we're doing." He said smiling down at her.

"I got some pretty big news sis, your big brother just got accepted for the Royal Guard once I'm done with school. Hard to believe it's been 13 years since, well you already know." He sighed.

"I say this every time I come here but I mean it everytime. I think you would have been something special Twilight, it may have been just me being a big brother but I just have this weird feeling that you would have made all of us so proud. Not that I'm you would have done anything to not be." He smiled a little.

"Listen to me ramble on like an old stallion." He said as a tear came down the side of his face.

"I see you've come again young colt." Shining turned to see a strange stallion walking up to him.

"What?"

"I see you come here everyday to this grave. Who was she to you if you don't mind me asking?" He asked as Shining looked back at the little sister he never got to know.

"She's my baby sister." He stated wiping his face as the stallion came and sat by his side.

"Ah, I'm very sorry for your loss then. Such a tragedy at the loss of one so young before their life can even begin." He sighed as the colt fell silent.

"But, with her I wouldn't count her out just yet. She still has a future after all." He said.

"What do you mean?" Shining asked turning to find the stallion gone.

"What did he mean by that?"

"What did who mean?" Shining spun around with his eyes widened to see Princess Celestia looking down at him while he quickly bowed.

"Princess Celestia!" He cried bowing as she gave a gentle smile.

"Rise young stallion, this is after all a private matter." She said coming and sitting next to him looking down at the grave.

"I'm so-

"Please princess, I think you apologized enough. There was nothing you could have done that day." He sighed as they both fell silent.

"Why are you here princess?" He asked after a while as she continued to look at the grave.

"I don't know to tell you honestly. I just felt drawn to her for some reason." She said as they fell silent again.

"Well I better go before mom and dad get worried." He stated getting a nod from Celestia as he left.

'What was that sage doing here with him?' She thought looking down at the grave.

'I should have been faster and none of this would have happened. But things will be better I promise you that when you finally come home.' She thought giving a nod to the small grave reading it.

[Here lies Twilight Sparkle. A filly taken from this world far before her time, may she find peace in Celestia's warm embrace.]
