//-------------------------------------------------------// 100 Years Later -by Tranquil Stone- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Here we are now //-------------------------------------------------------// Here we are now It's a hundred years after the whole 'Princess of Friendship' thing. Twilight and I had gotten married, so had Dissy and Fluttershy. We both had our adorable bundles of chaos, Emerald Glitter and Chaos Glitter. We led a happy life until the day came. We heard news that Rainbow had fallen incredibly sick. Soarin had silent tears from his eyes. I asked what had happened. He said she was gone. Twilight collapsed mentally, crying out to who knows. I tried to calm her down, but I had tears of my own. Rainbow was the only pony I understood after Twilight, and she was gone. A few days later we held a ceremony for her. We all said a few words and I put down the sneezing powder we were going to use for a prank. It turns out Rainbow had fallen from the sky, after her wing got clipped, and she fell from Cloudsdale. Soarin had tried to save her, but he was too late. Next was Pinkie Pie. After Rainbow died, she wasn't the same. She never smiled again, and she went into depression. After 6 months of Rainbow, she died. Just like that. I cried hard. She brought laughter into our lives. But she had never married or had kids, just her spreading cheer. And we'll all miss her for it. All of Ponyville attended her funeral, and she wanted a party with cake a ballons for her funeral. I found a letter for me: Dear Discord, If you're reading this I'm no longer around. No matter what anypony said, you are an amazing friend. You even made me smile when I was down. Enjoy the party and wipe your tears away, you look silly! Pinkie Pie. And I cried like I've ever cried against the headstone. Rarity was next. She was the top fashionista in all of Equestria. But of course, where there's fame, there's jealously. Applejack found her in her bedroom next to a half eaten hayburger. Somepony had poisoned it, and she was no more. It had been 3 years since our first friend left. Spike had taken it really hard, sobbing uncontrollably. Fluttershy couldn't bear the pain. She left this world on her own. Dissy and I wept by her. After Dissy left, I wrote a letter to Fluttershy, and placed it by her grave. Dear Fluttershy, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I never got to tell you how much you meant to me. You were the best friend I've ever had in my entire life. Even better than Twilight. Twilight and I had something different. But what we shared was unique. I love you Fluttershy, and always will. Love, Discord. But inside, I knew she'd never read it. One day, at Sweet Apple Acres, Applebloom was bucking apples and she saw a tree had knocked over and fallen. She frantically called Twilight and I to lift the tree. When we did, Applejack had gone. The tree had crushed her. We were with her until the end. She was strong and hadn't gone just yet. But when we came to vist her two days later, the doctors told us she had gone. Twilight screamed insanely at the loss of her last friend, and pushed past the doctors. There Applejack was lying, all equipment detatched. She looked so peaceful. Twilight cried, shaking Applejack's body. The doctors called the security to take her outside. Twilight was facing worse then death. She said a few words at her funeral, before collapsing emotionally and falling down to her knees. On AJ's grave it said, nothing, except most honset friend in Equestria. Years had passed after all our friends deaths. Twilight had started growing frail and old. I volunteered to restore her youth, but she kept saying it was unnatural. And then it came. The day Twilight left. I woke up in the middle of the night, hearing her gasps for breath. I immeaditely took her to the hospital. I kept on saying, "Let me heal you" but she just shook her head. The doctors handed me her letter, as they tried to save her. Dear Discord, If you're reading this, it's probably my final time with you. Trust me, over the years, you are the one person who I truly lived for. I love you with all of my heart, and please take care of Emerald and Chaos. Please call them with their families, I want to see them one last time. All I can say, is, I love you Discord Lots of love, Twilight Sparkle, your faithful wife The ink became smudged as my tears fell on it. Twilight was barely awake now. "Twilight, don't leave me!" I sobbed, falling to me knees. I snapped my fingers and Emerald, Chaos, and all our family was there. "Mum?" cried Emerald, leaning on Chaos. "Shh, don't cry my dear, Dad's still here" whispered Twilight. "Please Dad, do something!" wailed Chaos. "Son, your mother has forbade me, and her order first" I said, tears constantly dripping from my eyes. Our family turned around and gave there final wishes, leaving us alone. "Wipe those tears Glitter Butt!" smiled Twilight. "I love you Sparkle Butt" "Call me that one last time" "Sparkle Butt" I said, and Twilight sighed. "That's all I needed to hear" she said, closing her eyes. I screamed wildly, banging myself against her lifeless body. I didn't care. I cried so loudly, probably loudest in Equestria. I cried on and on, like there was no end to it. And here we are. 100 years after all those deaths. I feel lifeless. Death was better than what I was going through. "Dad?" Emerald and Chaos were at the door. Why are they around after 100 years? Well, they were immortal like me, and would never leave. When they saw me looking through the album, they came and hugged me tightly. "Why did she have to go?" I sobbed, letting go. I clicked my fingers and we appeared at her grave. I felt something in me. A urge. I bid my son and daughter goodbye. I stared at her grave. "I'm coming Twilight" I murmured. I lay peacefully on the ground. I left my will next to me, and like magic, I took my final breath.
