The Funeral Part One

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After a few days, Capper, Skystar, and the Pirates stayed in Twilight’s castle since there was some room for them, and Celestia messaged Queen Novo where her daughter was so she would not worry but she requested her to show up to Equestria later.
The funeral was at the Canterlot Castle and the Mane 5 had some moral support there with them. Skystar mostly talked to Pinkie Pie, The Pirates hung out with Rainbow Dash, and Capper was there for Rarity. Applejack had the Apple family there for her in this rough time, and Fluttershy has Discord with her. They all showed up to the funeral to be there for their friends.

Starlight walked inside the castle where the funeral was, she has been feeling guilty for the past few days ever since Tempest got locked up, it didn’t help Spike stopped talking to her, he even claimed Starlight spat on Twilight’s grave which hurt Starlight but once Spike explained that Twilight wanted Tempest to be redeemed, she saw why Spike was mad at her.

She was the reason Tempest was arrested, she could’ve given Tempest a chance but no she had to act on grief.

When Starlight was walking in the hallway, she noticed someone touching her back, she was shocked to find out Spike was the one there.

“Hey, I know that I said some pretty mean things and I’m sorry, you never meant to spit on Twilight’s grave, I probably should’ve told you about Twilight’s request to reform Tempest but I thought you knew.” Spike apologized.

“Why did you think I knew what Twilight wanted?” Starlight asked softly.

“I thought one of our friends told you, and I found you didn’t know this because when I told Trixie, she made it aware you didn’t know what I was talking about until I told you.” Spike explained in regret.

“Well I’m sorry I acted so harsh and cruel.” Starlight apologized.

“You has every right to be mad, but you handled it wrong, I forgive you and to be honest, we both need each other more than ever.” Spike responded.

“I guess we do.” Starlight said with a smile.

“Are you two finally friends again? Come on we need to get to our seats.” Discord said annoyed before teleporting the Spike, Starlight, and himself to the room where the funeral was.

Every pony saw Twilight’s body and began to cry but they were holding their tears in respect.

Celestia walked up to the podium and began to speak.

“My subjects, we have gathered here to honor the life of Twilight Sparkle, she was a friend, a princess, to some a potential lover, but most of all she was family.” Celestia stated.

“If any pony would like to speak to Twilight Sparkle they may do so.” Luna said.

Trixie walked up first and made her speech.

“When I first met you Twilight, I saw you as a menace, and a nuisance but today I now realize that I have grown to respect you as a friend and I am horribly upset by this loss.” Trixie announces.

Discord goes up next and he made his speech.

“Hey Twilight, it’s me Discord, I just wanna thank you for all that you’ve done for me in these past 3 years, even when I faked sickness you still traveled to the ends of Equestria for me and after I betrayed Equestria you still gave me another chance, I am grateful for that, and I’m so sorry that I was such a jerk to you in the past.” Discord apologizes.

Rainbow Dash then flies over and gives her goodbye speech.

“Twilight, what you did to save all of us is beyond brave and you showed true loyalty. You really are gutsier than I probably will ever be. I know I sometimes I pick on you, but everytime, you've proven me wrong and you don't even gloat about it. I’m so sorry for what I did back at the beach by abandoning you, you were stressed and all we did was screw up and treat this mission like it was a field trip. I’m so sorry Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy went up next and began her speech.

"Twilight, you truly are the kindest pony I've ever met. You've always set aside your needs to help someone else, even at the expense of your own joy or pleasure. You gave every creature the benefit of the doubt and even reformed some villains. Before I met you I was very shy and while I still am shy, I’m more brave than I used to be and I’m so sorry for how I acted as well.” Fluttershy spoke in tears.

Rarity went up next and began speaking.

“Twilight you are the most generous pony in all Equestria, you give many ponies and creatures a lot more than I ever have, all I have ever done was take you for granted and I’m so sorry for every horrible thing I have ever done.” Rarity cried out.

Applejack went up next and began speaking.

“Twilight, you’re a very honest pony, and I am so sorry for what happened at the beach, what we did was beyond silly and we should’ve worked things out instead of walking away like that, maybe things would’ve ended differently but in the end we can’t change the past, and I’m gonna miss you Twilight.” Applejack said.

Spike went up but he wasn’t going up to say goodbye he went up to introduce some pony.

“I’ve already said my good bye to Twilight but I brought a certain some pony here to speak.” Spike said.

The doors opened and in came a surprising visitor.

“Sunset Shimmer.” Celestia spoke in shock.
