Twilight used a simple levitation spell to guide the rope up to her. She was surprised that a failure such as herself could do it. At least she was good for something now. It was time to put Equestria (and herself for that matter) out of their misery of having to suffer with such a dumb and useless friend as herself.

She looked at the fan in bed room and closed both the blinds. Nopony should have to see this. It wasn't right. But maybe Pinkie would throw a big party, celebrating her death... She knew she would. She was the worlds worst friend after all.

She carefully used her levitation spell to tie the rope into a nose and then tied it around her ceiling fan. Then, standing on the edge of her bed, placed her head snugly through the hole. She had almost forgot the most important step in ending her life! Writing the letter. How careless she had been! She really was an idiot wasn't she!?

She pulled her head out and got back on the floor, gathering her quill pen and parchment. Then, after a long pause she began to write:

Dear Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Apple Jack, and Pinkie Pie,

I am sorry for being such a horrible friend. I am sorry for being such a loser egghead. I am just... sorry. I shouldn't have called you dumb Rainbow Dash... I am the real stupid one here. Pinkie, I am so sorry that I zipped your mouth closed for two days. That was such a horrible thing to do.

I know you all must hate me. And heck, I deserve it. I have never really been that good a friend anyway. But it will be better this way-

A few tears began to fall on too the parchment as she began to write her final words. She took a deep breath and continued writing: 

and now you will all be happier knowing that the worst, dumbest, and meanest pony to ever exist will finally be out of your hair. Forever. I love you all.

Best wishes,

Twilight Sparkle

She began to cry hard, unable to truly believe that she has been pushed this far. But there was no turning back now. It was now or never and she wasn't about to freak herself out from doing something the clearly needed to be done.

She got up on her bed and stuffed her head back into the rope.

This is it I guess Twilight thought. And with that, she pushed off, succumbing to the darkness that had building in her for years. She swung back and forth for a long while before the final light drifted far from her eyes and fell into the bitter embrace of death.
