Twilight decided to read a book. She reads many books, but this one was special. It was a special book that she read. And what it tells her is quite a surprise to exactly no one but her. It's up to Spike, Thorax, and Pinkie to help her through these difficult times.
Of course, if she was better at listening, none of this would have ever happened and I could have saved about 2,000 words.

I honestly hate the kind of stories where all of Twilight's friends die.

SOOOOOOOO
FUNNY!!!
7512100 THANK
YOU!!!
Oh Twilight
Huh. That was actually kind of fun.
Although, I think you missed a bit of potential comedy-with Rainbow supposedly living the longest in Twilight's eyes, it would have been funnier for her to crash through the window and snap her neck, prompting a horrified response from Twilight and nonchalance from everyone else before Spike mentions the Tree of Harmony keeping them alive and then Rainbow getting back up.
7512226 Aw, dang it! That's a fantastic idea. Wish I thought of that.
Welp, glad you enjoyed!
Yay. *giggles* There's my cheer.
Yay!

I was confused for a bit until I remembered the author's note.
she didnt think shes immortal after falling into boiling acid?
7513575 Well, she did get pretty bad heartburn.

So you hate stories where Twilight's friends die?, yeah i agree with you there, but i do love parody stories of that like this one, you ever read "Who wants to live forever?" by "Ri2", the idea behind it is similar to this but it is done rather differently.
7515815 I'll have to check it out! Thanks for reading.
EDIT: Just realized we both used the same based image for the cover.
Wait, when you say everypony connected to the elements, does that mean only the elements or all their friends and family too? just a touch confused there. If not the latter, then don't tell Twilight. All her family and other friends would still die before her. And don't forget about the other element's friends and family.
The plus side is: having the same friends for all eternity and not worrying about them dying. The downside is having to be with the same people for all eternity.
7516764 What I meant is that since the Mane6 wield the Elements, the tree keeps them alive. It was sort of supposed to darkly imply that when the Elements are placed back in the tree, the Mane6 become mortal since they are no longer connected by them.
Honestly, I was on drugs when I wrote this, so the time it takes place in was all over the place. The beginning is shortly after The Times They Are a Changeling and the flashback is right after the season 3 finale. The rest, though, takes place in some weird limbo before the elements are put in the tree, but after the Mane6 know about it and Thorax is there. The last part is also the section of the story I wrote on drugs. I suppose the story, as a whole, is taking place after The Times They Are a Changeling, but noone realizes that the Mane5 are no longer immortal and they will die.
Sorry for the overcomplicated explanation for a simple question, but in my mind, only the Mane6 are immortal except Twilight might be the only one.

Well, won't that be a pleasant surprise for Twilight. Now that you've explained it, it becomes darkly humorous.
7516160 I hope you enjoy it i know i did, and your welcome.
Yeah it was one of the reason't i noticed this story really was the cover picture.
....Juggling too many apples. Core idea is pretty funny. Just stick to one MAIN joke at first for these kinda fics.
This is a Twilight's Reviews review.
This story was pretty funny and random, it gave me a good laugh! I love how you wrote the beginning part where Twilight and Thorax were having a conversation. Also, I couldn't spot any grammar mistakes in your writing, so that's pretty good. But the thing that confused me was that Twilight was making negative comments about a book, and she loved books, especially the very long, thick kinds. For a random one-shot, this is pretty good!
Even if Twilight's friends will die, Pinkie Pie will not. She defies all logic and sense. If anything, her ghost will haunt Twilight so much that Twilight will WISH she were dead. That Pinkie Pie.
The alliteration, dude...it killed me.
Rainbow Dash as the longest survivor??? After all her crashes and reckless behaviour???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH....
.....No. I doubt it. I seriously doubt it....
Great story! I loved it!!!!
Mmm
many birthday. such planned. very surprise. wow

Whoops!
And then season 9 happened. Funny how that works out, isn't it? Then again, we already knew that Luna and Celestia were connected to the elements. So who knows, alicorns might not even be immortal and Celestia's 1000 year rule could just be the elements keeping her alive.
