The streets that once thronged with life stood empty. The Sun seemed to spit yellow venom on the tenebrific land where a broody mist and an atrabilious semblance always hung. Seven Ponies sat in a crystalline building, it looked almost untouched. It was far into the Everfree. Once feared by many, it still is feared by mares and colts alike except the fact the forest has gotten out of hand. Without StarSwirl's spell, the forest had infected Ponyville with it's enormous, regenerative vines. The vines were like hydras if the head gets chopped off, it grows back. The seven ponies could feel as if something was gnawing at there stomachs. They all groaned as they sat down on the chilling clear floors. The cold floor sent shivers up their spines. One pony was fastly pacing the room mumbling to herself. All the other ponies looked at her in concern but went back staring at their reflections. One of the seven ponies felt extremely guilty, her eyes were welling up with tears. She didn't want to cry in front of the especially the pony pacing back and forth. She forced her tears back but felt ashamed to hide her feelings, but it had to be done.

It had been a solid four days since they've seen any other creature. The had finally failed or at least that's what one of the ponies had thought. That pony was the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle. She was accompanied by a silly pink earth pony named Pinkie Pie, a down to earth honest orange earth pony named Applejack, a loyal yet cocky blue pegasus named Rainbow Dash, a generous elegant white unicorn named Rarity, a kind loving yellow pegasi named Fluttershy and an emphatic smart passionate lilac unicorn named Starlight Glimmer. The Sun was high up in the sky gleaming its powerful rays. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were still controlling the Sun and Moon but they as well fell victim to Grogar's trap. They were locked in cells and the only magic they were allowed to use is the magic they use to rise and set the Sun and Moon. They were all so famished and dehydrated. Starlight Glimmer looked at Twilight with worry and fear. Adrenaline flooded her system, It pumped like it was trying to escape. She felt like her heart would explode.

"Hey y'all things will get better I promise," said Applejack, not even the element of honesty believed a word she said. The rest of the group looked at Applejack knowing she had lied. But not a word was said.

As night fell the blue haze of day lifted to reveal the stars. It was getting late and the moon began to slowly appear over the horizon. The once bright blue sky became as dark as a black hole sucking the very essence of the once blue sky. The ponies got up and went there separate ways for they were exhausted and wanted to escape to the dream realm knowing princess Luna would not be there to guide or help them. As the ponies consciousness ebbed, their mind went into free fall, swirling with the beautiful chaos of a new dream. Starlight Glimmer was the only pony who was awaked in the desolate treehouse. Each of the ponies dreams was their worst fears. Their minds were being plagued with despair and hopelessness. It slowly started to rain, the pitter patter of the droplets hitting the windows bothered Starlight. Seconds became minutes and minutes became hours. Starlight laid on her bed with her eyes wide open.

"Ugh," she moaned as she put her hooves over her face. "Why can't I sleep?" thought Starlight as she stared into the glass window watching the rain droplets slowly glazed off the window. A small picture sat on her nightstand. She glanced over at it. In the picture, Twilight had wrapped her wing around Starlight. Starlight levitated the picture over to her, she smiled, small forms of tears filled her eyes. Starlight had recently had some feelings for the princess, but she would never tell her, at least not right now. With Grogar taking over Equestria Starlight became more fragile with Twilight. She was worried about the mare. Twilight had spent her nights lost in her own thoughts. "It's not your fault Twilight," thought Starlight. When The Legion of Doom attacked Equestria Spike.... well Spike couldn't make it....there was an enormous explosion. It was as though a fist of orange flame had decided to punch its way out of the main complex. Windows shattered. Smoke and fire rushed out. Thousands of pieces of glass and steel, a deadly rainfall, showered down. The impact of the explosion had knocked every wisp of air from Twilights lungs, and she laid there struggling to inhale, to exhale, to do anything. Starlight rushed over to Twilight limping hugging her. Twilight was as pale as chalk. She lost everything....again but this time she lost Spike. Memories flooded her mind of her and Spike. Twilight's eyes formed tears, rushing down like a waterfall. She shoved her head into Starlight's shoulder. The rest of the Mane 6 ran to Twilight, they all looked at Starlight and she looked back and began to weep.

"It's going to be okay Twilight," whispered Starlight and she stroked Twilight's mane.

The scene was quite unbelievable, shocking really. Starlight's mind was sent reeling, unable to comprehend or process the images it was being sent by her eyes. Pieces of ash and rubble flew through the air clogging Starlight's throat causing her to choke. She held in her cough for a couple of seconds but began to cough, now this wasn't a good cough it was a harsh cough as if she was coughing up blood or vomiting. The rest of the Mane 6 ran over to what was left of the castle. Photographs littered the floor burnt up and ripped. One photo laid there barely untouched. It was a picture of Twilight wrapping her wing around Starlight.

"Starlight..... this is all that's really left, well this is the only thing that is barely untouched," said Rarity levitating it over to Starlight who was still comforting a weeping Twilight.

"Thank you, Rarity," said Starlight in a raspy voice. She looked at the photo, her eyes began to swell up with silvery tears. Starlight's brain was jumbled with thoughts but the only thing she was worried about was Twilight's well being. "I love you Twilight...." mumbled Starlight.
