Twilight is beyond the title protege. Prodigies are merely brilliant. Twilight has surpassed most of the greatest mages in history before the age of thirty. Twilight's research has changed the landscape itself. She is a living legend who some whisper may be the greatest user of magic to ever exist... perhaps even an equal one day to the semi-divine princesses.

But Twilight's knowledge is not infinite. She has one final lesson to learn. Twilight must learn the Final Law of Magic.

Twilight insists she's not the one destroying the world. Rarity knows she's lying, but she has a dress to finish.

Not an official part of Monochromatic's RariTwi Bomb, but inspired by it nonetheless.

Two lovers pass along the same path with the same problem. Rarity and Twilight are in the doldrums of life, and find that answers are few, far between, and sometimes wordless.

When Rarity gives Twilight a present, the alicorn learns that simple gestures often hold greater meaning.

No matter what it may seem, or what is presented, or what you may read, please know this is a happy story.

Rarity hopes you'll remember that.

She'll try to remember, too.

Entry to the Quill and Sofa's Speedwriting's #34th contest - "Going Home". Originally ~700 words, but expanded so it could be posted as a stand alone story.

In a dimly lit tavern, Rarity tells Twilight a tale of loss, heartbreak, and how you haven't lived life until you've sobbed in a bar.

Busy as they all are, Twilight Sparkle always makes sure to carve out a bit of time from her week to spend with each of her friends, and they all do the same. That's what friends do: make time for each other.

So why do her evenings and early mornings with Rarity feel so much different?
