Why Did you have to Leave?

Princess Celestia quietly walked on the familiar path, having been the dozenth time she visited the Canterlot City Graveyard. Memories came flashing back of tears splashing against the gravel below, as she would unsussecifly try and keep her calm composure. She remembered the paths here expertly, having be a frequent visitor. She still remembered the day clearly, despite being quit a while in the past.

"Hahahah," Chrsalis laughed manically,"And just how do you plan on defeating me?"

"With the magic of friendship!" Shouted Sunset.

The six friends joined hands, and rainbows radiated from the creating a heart shape around them, however Chrysalis had her own plans.

Without a seconds warning a beam of green light was fired at Sunset and Twilight, the two dogdeing the beam.

"GIRLS, RUN!!!" Screamed Sunset, already in motion.

But it was too late, the second beam was fired directly at Sunset, leaving a gaping hole in the concrete, and in that hole was Sunset mutilated body, lying limp against the dirt.

Everyone was gathered, dressed in suits and dresses of black, all here for their fellow classmate and friend. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak.

"Now as you all-" Rainbow choked. She was one of people who were most torn up about this, understandably, considering how great friends they were.

Rainbow inhaled a slow breath and continued, "We're here to honor Sunset, who was a dear friend of mine. She used to be the most hated student in all of CHS history along with probably the meanest, but she changed, thanks to certain pony princess." Rainbow nodded toward Princess Twilight, who sat next to human Twilight, she was silently crying.

"She, was-was..." Rainbow choked a second time, after composing herself and wiping of a few tears, she continued,"There isn't much to say, she became our leader almost, always there to help and what not. She was also super smart, she once tried to conduct experiments on us to try and figure out how our magic works. But, sadly she died while fighting the. Our most recent evil entity. The point is, I'm not good with words and the best way I can sum a three hour speech up, is to say, goodbye, Sunset, I'll never forget you."

Next was Fluttershy who said her own speech, all the while crying openly.

Then Applejack.

Then Rarity.

Then Pinkie.

Then human Twilight.

Then Princess Twilight,"The first day I came here, Sunset was a raging she-demon, but I along with the elements wielders," She gestured toward Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and finally, Fluttershy, who still sobbed.

"Then she was my best friend and she contacted me with this book whenever she and her friends needed help," Twilight said as she held up the familiar book with Sunsets cutiemark on it,"She worked on reforming herself into not the villain she once was, but a great hero. She helped defeat the Sirens, and even noticed they were trying to get us at each other throats, something I did not, so now I think it's finally appropriate I say, goodbye Sunset.

Twilight walked off the stage, signaling the funeral service was over. One by one people left, after they payed their respects.

Celestia didn't speak during the funeral. In fact she didn't even attend, she stayed at home crying. Sunset was like a daughter to her, even throughout the time when she was one of the most feared students in CHS, she cared for her, gave her food, a place to rest, and most of all... Guidance

There it was...

Sunset's grave was the same as any other grave, but the fact that Celestia knew her personally, made it seem much gloomier than the ones she passed.
