Pre-reading by the brilliant Ceffyl Dwr once again, I cannot thank you enough man!

Entry for Oroboro’s Sunset Shipping contest

The Rainbooms decide to take a day trip to the local zoo.

(My entry into Aragon's Comedy Is Serious Business Contest.)

What's a tontine? It's a new kind of investment. You buy non-refundable shares in a common pot and collect the interest for the rest of your life. In fact, tontines are all about living -- and that's why the creator feels it's an idea which can't possibly fail.

There's just one minor flaw...

Sunset waited outside the assembly hall, gazing down at her hands. Her mind was going over the spell again and again, remembering what the Princess had said, so long ago.
Behind the doors she could hear, even feel, the rumble of conversations inside the large room. No doubt everyone there knew what they wanted to say and do to her.

Twilight comes up with an idea to revolutionize Equestrian society.

Equestrian society does not approve of her idea.

It is a tale well known to all: Twilight Sparkle, immortal alicorn, forced to face the world without her friends. Time having separated them, never to meet again, leaving only one Princess all alone, the last to remember those happy times. Alone in her castle, mourning all she has lost.

...too bad certain ponies have no sense of the dramatic and are too inconsiderate to actually be dead.
