Five hundred years. One hundred and eighty-two thousand, six hundred and twenty days. Almost as many cutie marks.

Life certainly knows how to dull any sort of excitement into dust, especially when it grinds on forever and ever. Just ask the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They know exactly what that's like.

When one's genetic template is overwritten, there tend to be... side effects. Most of the side effects come into play immediately.

Sometimes, though, one has to live with a new biochemistry for a while before it triggers.

It's actually very well documented.

For millenia certain ponies have been tasked with a singular mission, to record the events of the time. They are the Chroniclers and they carry the gift of immortality. But one ponies mind cannot take the passing of years, so they pass on their gift.

Sunset Shimmer is the next in line and so the first action she must take is to read the final journal entry of her predecessor.

Rainbow Dash asks her friends what they might want carved on their tombstones. Her friends tell her.

Based on the August 2014 prompt from The Writeoff Association, "Famous Last Words."

Princess Celestia has been in love with Twilight Sparkle for years. The rescue of her sister had been the start, but since then Twilight has saved Celestia, Luna, and their kingdom countless times. However, Celestia's true feelings have remained hidden, even from herself.

That is, until the day her love is revealed to her through a dream. But Celestia is determined to keep her feelings to herself. She has no idea how Twilight will react, and would prefer things remain they way they are, with the two Princesses as friends.

Unfortunately, Luna immediately finds out. A small group of ponies is quickly gathered, all with one goal: to force Celestia to confess her feelings and end her thousand-year relationship drought.

This causes so much chaos that Discord goes on vacation and will not be appearing in this story.

Now she is given an offer and a challenge unlike any other: confront the gods, her past, and the future she never counted on having.

The purple alicorn had a question, though she already knew the answer.

The white alicorn had an answer, but it wasn't enough.

Twilight Sparkle has faced countless challenges since taking on the mantle of a Princess over five hundred years ago, but none have been so hard as remaining healthy and vibrant while each of her friends has grown old and died. Now, beside the fresh grave of the last of them, she wonders if it was worth it. Teen rating for dealing with death and mortality.
