To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

1 hour later

After getting helped to escape from Discord's cage, the crew meets up to discuss plans. The Descendants have returned to their village.

"I am really sorry, Arthur. I didn't mean those things I said earlier." Twilight says.

"It really is my fault." I say.

"Hello, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Says a voice coming from behind us.

We look behind us, Starspiral is standing there.

"I'll let you guys introduce yourselves." I say.

I walk away.

I walk towards an open window.

It's night time, so most ponies are sleeping.

The stars are shining bright tonight, with the full moon.

"This whole place will be destroyed, if I don't stop Nexus." I say to myself.

I take a deep breath and sigh.

"If I can't stop him with the Elements, then I'll have to stop him with magic. But I don't know any magic, I'll have to ask Twilight if she can teach me." I say to myself.

Twilight walks up to me and says "You'll never guess who I just met."

"Who did you meet?" I ask.

"Starswirl's fifth great-grandson." Twilight says.

"I've met him, he is interesting." I say.

"You've met him, and you didn't bother to tell me?" Twilight says.

"I guess, there wasn't a good time to bring it up." I say.

"Yeah. Maybe you're right." Twilight says.

"Hey Twilight, do you think you can teach me magic?" I ask.

"There couldn't be a more perfect time for you to ask me. Starspiral gave me some of Starswirl's unreleased spells." Twilight says.

"So, can we start now?" I say.

"Well, I do need somepony to test these spells, to see if they are unstable." Twilight says.

I look at Twilight with a worried look on my face.

"I'm joking. But are you sure you can do magic?" Twilight says.

"It doesn't hurt to try." I say.

58 minutes later

"Wow. It really does hurt to try." I say.

"It's no use. We tried everything I know." Twilight says.

"So you're going to give up on me again?" I say.

"Oh, you are going to bring that up." Twilight says.

"Well, we do need to address the elephant in the room." I say.

Twilight looks around the room, then says "There is no elephant in the room."

"It's just an expression. People use it to say that they need to talk about something that should be addressed; like an elephant in the room." I say.

"Oh! I know what you mean. Kind of like exploding at somepony." Twilight says.

"Well that could get somepony's attention. Hey! Quit trying to change the subject. So why did you really want to break up?" I say.

Twilight sighs, then says "I thought about the future, and because, since i’m an alicorn, i’m going to live forever.

And you, you will eventually die.

I’m just going to keep on living, while all of my friends and family die."

Twilight starts crying.

I say "Wow. I don't know how to respond to that.".

Spike comes through to door then says "I think you should see this, Arthur."

Twilight stops crying.

Me and Twilight follow Spike, out of the castle.

There is a package outside the door. It says "To Arthur”
