The Living {FIRST STORY, BAD ALSO DON'T READ IF YOU WANT}

The memories are somewhere there, most ponies cant even remember the good times, most born in the new times, become dull, black tears in there eyes, sparks of joy only in the elders, maybe it can be fixed, doubt it.

A old applejack walks down the stairs in her farmhouse, she sits down on the table and remembers her time with rainbow dash, enduring the memories is hard, she remembers her death, targeted because of homosexuality, the stallion was never found until years later, found raping a young filly, Diamond Tiara, who had been missing for almost a year before he was found, she never forgot that place, he been found of murdering and kidnapping multiple young mares in his time.

The part always kills applejack, she doesn't want to remember that time, but her mind makes her remember, out of fear?

Mind like a sadist

let all those emotions flow over like running water

The good times wasn't it?

Suppose so

meanwhile in canterlot, a band is marching through the city, while most ponies seem happy, not many are. most are just watching as Celestia and the Princesses get carried through the town

At a barber shop down the street, a stallion is getting his hair cut by a mare

"good day isn't it?" The stallion getting his hair cut asks the mare cutting his hair

"Might be" she says in a depressed tone, almost sobbing

"um, Alright?" The stallion responds and thinks about how boring and forgetting time has become by now

Back in ponyville, in Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie is sitting tearing up as her husband, Cheese sandwich just died a week ago

"Good times" she says in a whisper to herself

"The good times worse, but they were better" Pinkie takes the knife and thinks about wether she should do it to not, but then she remembers life is precious, even in the bad times... Right?

Back at the bar, Cloud Kicker, Octavia, Vinyl, And Cherry Fizzy are all there drinking and talking

outside the bar, its pouring raining. rumble is dancing in the rain happily, seeing his joy for the first time

Octavia plays her violin trying to make the ponies happy, as everypony starts to smile as they all recognize the tone, of when it was the nice times, as Octavia remembers the good days of this life, not this joke, this parody that it has come to at the longest point, and the ponies start having fun as they Dance along slowly to the music, swaying back and forth, and remembering.

Twilight flys over a float over a once-prosperous, beautiful city, she remembers being crowned the princess, and getting her wings for the first time and all her friends

Apartments start flying and houses as they start floating into the air, ponies grab on and get on as they start to smile
Celestia and luna look out the window and see this happening as the castle starts to float

Twilight sees her friends, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, And Fluttershy all elders now, and Twilight is a a much bugger Alicorn, and they all smile.

"I love you all" as she begins to sob and cry, they all hug each-other in a group, and cry to themselves letting all the bad come out, and cherish there time together.

The Princesses all do the same, as Celestia remembers banishing her own sister as they all cry into there hooves, even the guards outside start tearing up

Applejack sees that the farmhouse is floating up into the air as every house and every building starts lifting into the air

many other ponies start flying without wings, as they all smile and laugh, as it rains slightly

Fluttershy sits on the grass watching the buildings float as her cottage starts flying into the air also, she remembers the animals she took care of, she remembers the bunnies, the bear, the frogs, as she outstretches her wings and flys into the air too

multiple creatures, dragons, changelings, and more look into the skies, seeing everything floating. they all start smiling one by one, slowly but surely, everything starts coming together like a puzzle that's been broken for so many years, a piece that fell into the right place, a game of chess, victory

Love

Friends

Memories

What would it be without?
