Celestia has been putting off a very important conversation for far too long. Her friends and family send her some letters telling her the truth.

Celestia is not good at the whole being in love thing.

Thanks to a good friend for helping edit my garbage writing.

Twilight Sparkle knew she was a smart filly. She was in the School of Magic after all, Celestia’s personal student even. She had a great family and baby sitter too. So why did she have to be so stupid and end up throwing it to burn.

Now all she had was Spike, she was alone, and somewhere unfamiliar.

After travelling alone for so long, she's finally coming home.

Thanks to Rego for editing, and particularly help with names.

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

With Equestria at peace and harmony reaching across all the realm, for Twilight, it was only natural she'd want to expand further. Whether it was her curiosity or her hubris, Twilight soon finds herself hanging between here and eternity.

I really gotta get better at writing descriptions. But uh, yeah. Enjoy my attempt at nihilism! That's probably never been said before, holy hecc.

Sometimes, a dream can seem so close, yet so far.

Losing your friends is hard.

Saying your farewells is harder.

But reminiscing makes the pain just a little bit more bearable.
