The News

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, clear skies with all the birds flying gracefully in the big blue sky. It was indeed a wonderful day. All the townsfolk were doing their usual stuff. Pinkie working at Sugar Cube Corner, Rarity making new flawless dresses, Applejack picking apples getting ready to sell them across the town, Rainbow Dash chilling upon the clouds being lazy, Fluttershy playing with her animals in her lovely garden full of dazzling flowers, and Twilight studying in her library like a good student. Everyone was happy with their joyful lives, but none of them knew that their perfect world was coming to an end.

"What a  beautiful day isn't Spike?" said Twilight with a joyful smile.

"Sure is Twilight. Heh, I wish everyday was like this." replied Spike.

"Me too." Twilight was getting ready to go see the princess to give her report on what she learned about friendship. She was about to leave when she received a letter from the princess.

"It's a letter from the princess."

"What does it say?"

"To my faithful student Twilight, I would like for you to please visit me here in Canterlot for an important and tragic news. Please hurry!"

"The princess is in the trouble, come Spike we must go!"

"Right!" Twilight bolted right out of her house and caught the fastest train to Canterlot.

She arrived at Canterlot,  and ran towards the castle quickly. As she was running towards the castle, many things were running through her mind. She made it to the castle and dashed towards the throne room. There was Princess Celestia sitting upon her throne with a depressed and worried expression.

"Princess! What' wrong?" Celestia looked upon Twilight with tearful eyes

"Come here Twilight." sobbed Celestia

"What's wrong princess?" replied Twilight with a worried tone. Celestia arose from her throne and walked towards Twilight and embraced her lovingly. Twilight could feel the wetness of her cheeks from the tears. Celestia looked upon Twilight, "I have tragic news Twilight, this day I hoped would have never come is coming. This world is going to end."

"What?!" yelled Twilight shocked. "But how do you know?"

"I knew that one day this would happen, but i didn't suspect it to happen this soon. There's a prophecy that spoke of this day, as well of what sighs that will appear before the end of days. I have recently been seeing these sighs for the past few days now. Now I know for sure it is time." Upon hearing this, Twilight began to cry knowing that all her friends and family were going to die. "I called you here Twilight so that you may go back to Ponyville and give everyone the news, so they can live their final moments with the ponies they love. I will go around the rest of Equestria to give the news." She placed her hoof on Twilight's shoulder and wrapped her wings around her. "You were my greatest student Twilight, and I'm so glad to have met you on that day. I love you Twilight." Twilight began to weep more and embraced Celestia tightly.

"I love you too."

"Now go, give the news so that they too may say their last words to those they love." Celestia then gave Dawn a tight hug, tears flowing down her cheeks, then she gave her a final kiss upon her forehead. "Farewell my student."

"Farewell." replied Twilight. She then took off to catch the fastest train back to Ponyville. "How am I going to break the news to everyone Spike?" Sobbed Twilight.

"I...I don't know," replied Spike with a worried tone. Twilight sat there in the booth gazing out the window, wondering how to the break the news, and how she has to tell her friends goodbye. This once beautiful day has turned into the worst day in Twilight's life.

Giving the News

Finally arriving at Ponyville, Twilight took off to find all her friends so she may give them the news before telling everyone else. She gathers them all to her library.

"What is it Twilight? Why did you brings us here?" asked Applejack.

"Yeah, what's up with that?" asked Rainbow

"I-I have some bad news," said Twilight as she began to tear up. "The world we all love is going to end."

"What?!' yelled everyone

"What do you by that darling?"

"I mean that we're all going to die."  Hearing this tragic news made everyone look at one another with utter sadness. "I wanted to you all first so you all could help me gather everyone in Ponyville so i can tell them the news as well, so they may spend time with their loved ones."

"We'll help you sugarcube."

"Thanks girls, I knew I could count on you all. Tell everyone to meet at town hall; I'll give the news to the mayor."

"You can count on us." They soon headed out to gather everyone while Twilight headed towards the town hall.

"Is that so?" said the mayor looking down in sadness.

"I'm afraid it is mayor. I have asked my friends to gather the townsfolk, so I can give them the news as well."

"Well then, lets get everything ready so you can give your speech. We don't want to waste any time." They soon start preparing  everything.

Finally, it was time to give the news to the town, and thanks to the efforts of Twilight's friends, everyone was at town hall within a matter of minutes.

"Hello everypony, thank you all for coming on such short notice." said Twilight

"What are we doing here?!" yelled one random citizen.

"I have gathered you all here to give you all some tragic news."

"What news?!"

"Well if you let me finish I shall tell you all. The world as we know it is coming to an end." There was a big gasp from the crowd, and everyone started to panic and everything went into chaos. "Please everyone, please calm down!" But no matter what Twilight did the crowd was still in chaos, so Rainbow got a cloud and made a bright flash of lightning. Luckily, that worked out great, and the townsfolk calmed down. "Thanks Rainbow."

"Sure thing Twilight."

"Listen everyone, this is not the time to panic and go crazy. The reason I wanted to tell you all this news is so you all can spend time with your loved ones, because this is the only time you can before the world ends." The crowd then started to find their loved ones. "That could've went a little better," joked Twilight trying to keep some joy. "Alright girls, you all should go with your families and spend time with them. I'm going back to Canterlot to see my family." They nodded and went their ways.
