//------------------------------// // Laughter // Story: Our Dying Days // by Crystal Draco //------------------------------// I sat in my chair, slowly rocking back and forth. the room was completely empty, save for a few pieces of furniture. I thought back to the day I moved to ponyville. Everyone was always so serious. That changed really fast as I spread smiles all around town. I did that for year. I started thinking about the day Twilight arrived. It was so cool to meet somepony new, especially if they're from out of town. I'm glad she came, things wouldn't have been the same if she didn't. Then I thought back to the day Sweetie Belle came to get me. She was crying and said something terrible had happened. We rushed over to Carousel Boutique to find rarity dead. I cried my eyes out. I thought back to when Twilight came for me. She was also crying when she got there, and I had a good idea of what happened. We went to Fluttershy's cottage, and sure enough, she was gone too. I cried again, losing another friend. When Applebloom came to my door with red eyes, I immediately knew what happened. I ran over to find Applejack dead. I cried again, now having lost three of my friends. There's one thing that stood out to me though. When I got there, they all had smiles on their faces. When they passed, they passed while they were happy. If they were happy, then that's all that matters to me. If they're happy, I'm happy. By now I had stopped rocking. I smiled and shut my eyes. I let death take me, just as there was a knock on the door.
