Twilight talks to various ponies she trusts about being immortal. Unfortunately for her, all the answers she hears aren't what she want to hear

When Pinkie brings up the importance about being an alicorn for thousands and thousand of years, Twilight realizes that her friends won't be there with her forever as she planned them to be, so she calls friends she trust dearly and asks them on what they think. Unfortunately, it's the opposite of what she want to hear.

This is my first Fanfic, please feel free to criticize

Somethings shouldn't be mentioned

The stars shined in the night sky like the sun was still outside, although nobody seems to notice the stars often, they was shining on a certain place in Ponyville.

This place was known as Sugar Cube Corner.

Twilight laughed with her friends," Okay, What do you call a pony who is dipped in harden candy?!" Each friend had thought long and hard about it, but if they didn't answer in the next 10 seconds Twilight would have won." Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five , four, three two..."

"A pony pop!" The pink pony answered, Twilight laughed at he friend response" Correct!" Then all the friends laughed at the joke. They talked for a little while until the party died down, then all of them decided to depart from the party.

"Bye, Pinkie! This was a great party that you hosted!" Rainbow yelled as she flew in the distant.

"Bye! I'll see you tomorrow! Pinkie smiled" So Twilight, what are you doing here?"

"Pinkie, I can't just let you clean up this mess all by yourself. As your friend, I will not leave until everything is organized and cleaned for the next day at Sugar Cube Corner."

"Fine, but Twilight, I clean at all my parties I have when my friends are over, and do it all by myself." Pinkie explained "Besides, you should probably go to bed, a princess should get her rest. Not to mention, that you have to sign a whole bunch of fan papers, and princess papers."

"But, what about you going to work tomorrow morning and all day probably, you must need your sleep too?" Twilight asked.

"Look Twilight, this isn't something I wouldn't say on a normal day, so listen to me when I say this..." Pinkie took a deep breath and let it all out "Twilight, you're an alicorn, this means that you will help protect Equestria for thousands of years, you would be able to provide and give friendship all over Equestria. With us and without us, but this is what make you such a awesome pony! You get to have so many pairs of best friends, and many generations of ponies who would look up you! But in order to get to that point, you need to understand how to do normal princess duties, and not clean up everything you see. So go home and get some rest."

Twilight smiled and hugged Pinkie "Ok, I see you tomorrow Pinkie!'

"Bye Twilight!"

Twilight walked down the empty roads of Ponyville, past the her old home that been burned down by Tirek. She stopped at the previous library known as Golden Oaks. Twilight sat there starring at the previous library. She often wonder would she be known as the princess of Friendship if she didn't have her castle. She also thought about what Pinkie had said about being an alicorn.

"With us and without us." Twilight whispered "I would be an alicorn for thousands of years, watch my friends get old and die, while I would look the same as I do now. But I wouldn't die with my friends like I planned to. I don't want to be immortal, but die with my friends."

"Hello Twilight." A familiar voice said.

Twilight turned around to see her draconequus friend "Well hello Twilight." Discord asked again.

"What are you doing out here so late?" Twilight questioned her friend suspiciously .

"Oh I'm just trying to get out of Celestia's wrath." Discord smiled mischievously.

Back in Canterlot

"I swear when I get him he will suffer!" An angry Princess cover in bird poop yelled

Discord giggled out loud

"What did you do?" Twilight growled

"Lets say she has a flock of poop to clean" Discord laughed " So may I ask why are you out so late?"

"Just came from Pinkie's party."

"I'm so offended." Discord rolled his eyes

"Why?" Twilight sighed

"Pinkie Pie says that I'm her friend but had never invited me to one of her parties. She never invited someone who can rip reality at the snap of his fingers, I could make her party so much better than she could ever than she could ever have. I mean I'm so ,I'm surprise she hadn't invited me yet.."

Twilight couldn't believe how big his ego was , but then again it's Discord.

"I'm just so amazing! Why wouldn't she invite me?" Discord continued "I mean I am so important! Won't you agree Twilight?"

"I can't believe you. You first prank the Princess, then come here and talk about how you could make my best friend party better. The one who earned her cutie mark by throwing a party!" Twilight thought about what Pinkie had said to her that night " Just when I was having a such a wonderful time everything goes awry! " Twilight voice shifted " And then you come to just make my night worse than it already was you talk about your overly large ego! I'm so surprised it is even that big! For someone who been defeated twice by ponies, which I may remind you don't 10 times the power you have, is babbling on and on about how they could make Pinkie's party better!" Twilight's voice changed to a whisper " So please go away."

"You aren't still mad about your old home, I mean The Golden Oaks Library was destroyed 3 and a half years ago, heck it's about to be 4 years in a few months!" Discord said.

Twilight snapped "Go Away!"

"Fine, Fine! I'm leaving, but don't think I'm gonna be happy when I come back from the castle and face Tia's wrath of poop." Discord giggled at the thought " Oh I'm gonna love the look on her face when I get there."

Then a flash blinded Twilight for the moment, she sighed and walked slowly to her home as tears slowly fell out of her eyes on the flower bloomed ground.

"Spike I'm back! " Twilight yelled.

But there was no answer back form the assistance.

"Spike!" Twilight yelled for her assistance thinking that he didn't hear her.

Still there was no answer from her number one assistance.

Twilight walked upstairs only to see spike sleeping comfortably in his bed "Yes Rarity, I will be happy to be yours." The baby dragon mumbled in his sleep.

Twilight giggled" Well I better see what Starlight doing." The sadden Princess whispered.

She walked down the enormous hallways of the castle hoping to find her student awake to help her do a certain spell that would help her feel better about life itself. But with her luck tonight Twilight was greeted with a prodigious snore.

"Is anything gonna go right this night?" The alicorn said with a hint annoyance in her voice.

Then the alicorn walked downstairs to the cutie map and sat in her throne and filled out paperwork until she couldn't bear to look at the words on the paper, she never thought this day will come but she was getting tired of reading

"Why do life hate me today!?" Twilight's voice bellowed through the castle" All I wanted was to have a peaceful night, but do I get what I want no! No I do not!" The angered princess walked on her balcony " All I wanted was a peaceful night and a peaceful day! But all I get is duties from the Mayor all day, a sort of relaxing party, then a talk about all my friends dying! I mean who talks about that?! Then visited by one of the most annoying creature of all. It's just ugh! How do my day just get so bad!" Twilight looked disconsolate or rather was "How should I feel when they die. Do I sit there and act happy or look sad, I rather be there by their side until they die. But Pinkie is right, they will die one day and leave me here to stay like this forever." Twilight sobbed " Why do I have to leave all my friends."

"Twilight, is that you?" Starlight walked on the balcony next to Twilight.

"Starlight! What are you doing up?" Twilight asked hoping that she didn't hear what she had said.

"I thought I heard somepony yell throughout the castle. Was it you Twilight?" Starlight asked completely dazed.

Twilight took note that she was really tired, " So wanna talk about my favorite book?! "

"Um, no?" Starlight hoped that she wouldn't say "to bad" like she did last time.

"Well then I need to ask you an important question. Do you think that It will be good to stay here while all of you get old and die?"

"Well yeah, but that's a good thing. You get to have many friends and live a hundred lifetimes that you never would've gotten to do stuck as an unicorn. So yeah it's a really good thing!" Starlight yawned "Well, I'm about to go back to sleep. Goodnight Twilight."

"I'm not gonna get anywhere talking with my friends." Twilight groaned. "I guess I better go to bed too."

Twilight walked through the hallways of an unfamiliar place that wasn't known to her, at least that's she what thought. "Hello. Anypony there?"

"We've been waiting..." The voice echoed.

"Been waiting for what?" The princess asked the voice.

"For you of course." Another voice replied.

"Who are you!? " Twilight asked the two voices.

"Surely you remember us? Don't you?" Another voice questioned.

"I don't know who you are." The princess said in a serious tone.

"It's ashamed you don't remember us." A new voice answered "we were really close once."

"Wow, that makes me sad that you don't remember , I could cry because of you." Another voice said.

"Yeah, I can't believe you wouldn't remember the fun we had shared." A voice that seemed a little dark .

"Who are you." Twilight's horn was well lit in the dim room.

"We're your friends. Remember Twilight." All the voices replied.

Then the light all came on reveling the castle of the two sisters, Twilight gasped when she saw what was coming.

"Hello Twilight, two thousand years really got by fast" The main 5 smiled at the alicorn.

"You're- You're..." The frightened alicorn backed away.

"Dead." The rest said, causing Twilight to fall to the floor.

Won't you please support my opinion guys

"Fluttershy?!" Twilight knocked on the mare's door.

The door opened revealing a butterscotch pony wearing a pink robe," Oh Twilight! What are you doing out this late?"

Twilight face went blank "May I come in please."

"Sure thing, but you must be quiet. I have guest in here." Fluttershy said opening the door.

Twilight and Fluttershy walked in the cottage only to find a big long bushy figure on the couch.

"What is that?" Twilight asked, backing away from the couch.

"It's my guest. I promised I won't tell anypony he was here. " Fluttershy started to hyperventilate "Oh no! I just told you it was a he! " Fluttershy's face went red "I'm sorry Twilight, it's that me and Discord was having a sleepover."

Twilight pretended that she didn't say Discord's name. It was for the better anyway.

"Do you think that it is good for me to be an alicorn for thousands of years?"

"Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it. Do you think that it will be good if I was a tree?"

"Of course not! " Twilight yelled, causing Discord to moan. "Oops."

"But if I was a tree I could grow to be over a hundred years old! But that isn't bad, Is it? "

"I never thought of it that way. But would you say it's good for me to be an alicorn?"

"Not at all Twilight, not at all."

Twilight sighed, "Well thanks for your opinion. I see you tomorrow." Twilight walked out the door.

"Well better go ask somepony else."

"...And that is why I shouldn't be an alicorn."

"Twilight. You had woken me up for something like that!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Well there is nothing better for us to do than tell each others problems." Twilight smiled " Now your turn."

"My problem is I don't have enough sleep." Rainbow answered immediately .

"Please tell me your opinion please." Twilight looked down at the floor, she knew the answer already.

"Yeah It's good. Now goodnight Twilight." Rainbow went back to her bed.

"Should I go back home? No lets go to Rarity's first."

An hour later.

"Well I guess that being an alicorn sounds frustrating, but dear I say that that is a wonderful power to have dear." Rarity smiled. "Just think about -"

Twilight was no longer at the boutique.

Twilight tried everypony she could think of in Ponyville. They all said the same thing but none gave what she wanted to hear. She wanted help and fast. So she decided that she should ask why she needs to be an alicorn. And just like that she left for Canterlot.

Author's Note

I ran out of ideas for this chapter, which is why it is so boring. But I plan to make the next chapter better!

Not you too

Twilight flew towards Canterlot, she struggled to stay awake. "I'm almost there. She would tell me the answer, she had to. After all she was the one who made me an alicorn in the first place."

Twilight landed on the balcony unaware the princess she wanted was sleep.

"Princess Celestia?!" Twilight walked inside of the princess' bedchambers. " Princess!"

"Twilight?" The princess said groggily. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry for waking princess, but I'm in a tiny problem."

"What is the problem?" Celestia asked.

Twilight took a deep breath, " I don't want to be an alicorn! I would like to be an unicorn!"

"Why would you want to be an unicorn again?"

Twilight didn't want to answer the question but she had to do what she needed to do." I guess, I'm afraid of watching my friends die."

"Why would a thought like that come to mind?"

"Lets say I had a little talk with somepony. She was not the best one to tell it to me."

Not like anypony was.

"Well, don't you want to help provide friendship around Equestria?"

Twilight nodded her head frantically.

"But you also want to be with your friends."

Twilight nodded again.

"Twilight if you couldn't handle being an Alicorn then I wouldn't have made you an alicorn." Celestia's voice sounded like silk.

Twilight nodded tears held in the corners of her eyes.

"I understand you want to be with your friends, but as a princess you must be there for your subjects. It's a difficult choice, but you don't have a choice. Once an alicorn always an alicorn."

"But there has to be somepony who can change me back?!" Twilight panicked.

"Only someone with very powerful magic but I can't-"

Twilight was gone.

"I guess she figured out what she was going to do about her problem." Celestia said, covered in silk sheets.

Closing her eyes Celestia relaxed. Then she jumped out of her bed in panic. "Unless she is going to.. Oh No." Celestia looked to the window. I must stop her for reaching him.

Author's Note

I'm really bad at writing. But at least I can say I'm trying to get better at it. Especially spelling and grammar. Also there is only one more chapter....Unless I decided to make more. I doubt you like this story anyway. I was going to cancel the story but then that would be just horible! ~~Stupid grammar I wrote decided not decide~~ Anyway I hope you like the ending, And I really glad someone read this story. And Special thanks to the people who told me that I need to work on grammar, and liked reading this story.

Have a wonderful day!:twilightblush:

The dreams Luna wouldn't save

The frighten alicorn backed away from the dead ponies walking towards her.

"Get away from me!" Twilight's horn lit " If you don't get back I will blast you!"

"Well for one darling, you really shouldn't talk to your friends like that." Rarity spoke.

"Yeah, that's not being loyal to your friends. Blasting them is wrong." Rainbow Dash said.

"May I ask why are you here?" Twilight asked the ponies.

"You put us here, remember?" Starlight said.

Twilight jumped back, "You're here too?"

"Well I can't live for two thousand years." Starlight answered.

"You really don't remember do you Twilight?" A faint voice said.

"Fluttershy, can you tell me where I am?" Twilight asked.

"Look around Twilight, look around" Fluttershy said fading into nothingness.

Twilight focused her gaze on her surroundings, " Look around"

Tattered banners hung on the dust covered wall. The banners had dust falling off of it ,showing a yellowish color and the other shown blue. It had two pictures of somepony she couldn't make out. Twilight continued to walk further until she saw something that caught her attention.

A string of hair.

Twilight levitated the string of hair and observed it carefully. It was blue just like Luna's hair.

"This is Luna's hair. The banners, the crumbling building, the dust. This is the Castle of the Two Sisters." Twilight whispered.

"Ok! I know where I am! We are at the Castle of the Two Sisters! " Twilight yelled.

There was no reply.

"I know this isn't happening again. I know you're here!" Twilight yelled clearly frustrated.

Then out of nowhere an old grey Rainbow Dash popped up on her.

"Help!" Twilight jumped back only to see her friend. "Wow! You scared me!"

Rainbow stared at Twilight not saying a word.

"Are you ok?" Twilight asked.

Rainbow took a step forward.

"Uh, ok if you want to move forward you have some room for you to move forward." Twilight said awkwardly.

Then Rainbow moved closer, and closer, and closer, closer, and closer. Until there was no room left.

"Well I guess I should go." Twilight tried to back away but she couldn't. She was surrounded by her friends.

"I guess it's ok if we could help you die." Pinkie said " You did say you wanted to die with your friends."

"Um, I think I'm good for now." Twilight said cautiously.

"Are you sure." Rarity said.

"Positive!" Twilight forced a grin on her face.

"Well, there is no turning back." Rainbow said.

Twilight backed away. "W-what."

"Get her!" Pinkie yelled.

Twilight ran as fast as she could, until she gave out. The ponies slowly circled around her.

All Twilight could do was scream.

Twilight jumped up out of her bed. " I need help now." Then Twilight teleported away.
