Twilight is an alicorn- but what does it really mean?

Eternity's End

Lifting the multicolored flowers, I trotted to the graveyard. I know I could have flown, but I don't fly much anymore, not since...

I don't like to think about it. Reluctantly, I go to the saddest area of the graveyard, the area that caused me this depression.

Slowly, I separate most of the red flowers and put on the ground of the first grave. Then, I read it: "Applejack, you were the most honest friend I ever had." Every word caused me pain as I relived the horror, as if it were yesterday....

***

" 'Kay, Twi, ah want you to pull on this rope when ah tell you, 'kay?" Nodding, I waited while she gave everyone else their instructions. " 'Kay, pull!" Everyone started pulling the ropes to pull up the walls, just as a cold, strong wind came up. "Tornado!" I yelled as I saw the spiral reach the ground. Everyone galloped into the barn: Well, everyone but AJ.

"A.J?" Fluttershy asked timidly. That's when we realized A.J was still outside. I galloped to the window, calling her name.

She ran by, and that's when I saw the cuts on her eyes:

She was blinded.

Then the wind pulled her up, higher than even Rainbow had ever been. then, suddenly, it stopped, and AJ went crashing into the ground. we ran outside, and I saw her eyes weren't open. I put my ear to her chest, hoping to hear her steady heartbeat.

Instead, I heard nothing.

***

Shaking off some of the horror, I picked out most of the pink flowers and put them on the next grave. " Pinkie, you were the friend that made me laugh when i was ready to cry." Well, those days were over....

***

"Who's ready to SMILE!!!" She yelled happily, hearing the crowd yell her name. She was organizing a parade,to be held the next day, in AJ's memory. As she jumped down, Rainbow Dash drunkenly yelled, "Good job, Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash had gotten drunk a lot more, since AJ had died. " Thanks Dashie, I'll see you guys tomorrow!" She added as she trotted away.

*

The next day we trotted to Sugar Cube Corner, asking to see Pinkie. As We walked upstairs, I got the sense something was wrong. As we saw Pinkie, I knew my suspicions were right: She was barely breathing. I galloped to her as she said, "Goodbye, you were my best friends..." Then, Just as I realized she had caught a deadly virus that went to her heart, her breathing stopped.

***

As the memory stopped, I realized I was shivering. Ignoring it, I picked out the purple flowers and put them on the next grave, fear shooting through me as I recall Rarity's death...

***

"Twi, I'll drive." Rarity said to me. " But I'm the designated driver...." I said. but Rarity was obviously ignoring me, as she was getting in the car. I decided to fly, as did Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The next thing I knew, I heard a shriek and a crash. and I knew what had happened:

Rarity had crashed.

***

"You were the most generous friend ever." Deciding not to reflect on that memory, I grab one of each of the colors and put it on the next grave
