Princess Twilight Sparkle will never truly die, and never know what happens to those she loves once they pass beyond the veil.
But then, one day, she comes up with an idea of how she might find out what lies beyond death.
What price will she pay for this knowledge?
That is all I have to say.
Before reading, list of things that won't end well, this.
I was correct.
Oh man. That ending was perfect.
Lol!
Nicely written. Anyone could've told Twilight that dead people are jerks. Most of them completely ignore you.
That line right there would've made me laugh if you had instead written:
You also probably should've given a quick mention that Spike was at Applejack's deathbed with the others. Why wouldn't AJ want one of her last remaining closest friends there?
SCANDAL
How does she know these things?
Do you just go blabbing these things to everypony, Twilight?
I wonder how she escaped the [redacted] party. Clearly, it took a while.
Great story, upvoted, favorited, deserves a feature.

Ha. That does emphasize the absurdity a bit more, yes.
Spike was at her deathbed a few months ago when everypony thought that she was surely going to die any day now, but her wish to Twilight was to live as long as possible so she lived a little longer than they were willing to wait around. Twilight was there because she cheated.

She is the princess of scandal!
I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you. First. And myself. Since the relevant concepts cannot be explained to the living.
Dammit, Applejack
I cannot emphaze enough how I love this fic.
It deconstructs banal horseapple fics SO WELL.
Loved it.
Aww, everypony ends up in indescribable-land as jerks? That's no fun.
2708438 Well, it's no fun for would-be necromancers. It's impossible to say whether or not it's fun for everypony else.
Twilights dead no what she said the dead are...... what happend to twilight next is she looked dead and celestia beried her.
Good story i like but where is the fluttershy? I tell fluttershy her comment.
My comment.

The afterlife is literally beyond words. So Pinkie Pie invented some new ones.
Hilarious story. Especially since it also addresses a question few people seem to have considered: what is Twilight the princess of? Fate is certainly a good choice.
In any case, thank you for a fantastic counterpoint to the immortality blues.
By the way -- the thing I liked most about this is how confident Celestia is about living forever and how the other alicorns all know -- naw it isn't happening -- and are like yeah um lets change the topic.
Not Lyra (Heartstrings) and Bon Bon
You trying to start shit, mate?
Really fun story, I had a blast reading this thing. The scene in the afterlife, with all the dead ponies tugging those strings, that was actually pretty awesome.
I kinda wish Twilight had stayed dead...
Last paragraph. People.
There are no people in Equestria.
*looks through the comments and confirms that she did indeed read this before*
Twilight making Applejack's head nod after death is extremely Twilight. :D
Dang, Princess Twilight is the Princess of Scandal. A pity that she wasn't able to learn too much about the afterlife, although one must what it does to you to make you such a jerk.
Keep up the good work!
