Letters to Sunset

by SurprisePinkiePinkiePie

Ending

Moonrise barked loudly, licked her paw, and pounded through the open door. She could smell another dog, that older one called Spike that sometimes came and talked to the humans, but she ignored him. She noticed a book and a pen lying on the floor. She did what all dogs do: chewed the pen for a bit, then left.

Then she came back in. She used her paw to lift the book. Somehow she could read the words almost perfectly.

...I don't say this often, because I don't like to, but.....I'm sorry. It was because I was angry at you, wasn't it? Dammit Sunset, I was just mad at you that one time! I don't hate you! You didn't have to go and kill yourself! ...

...Sunset? Sunset! Are you reading this? I hope you're reading this. I don't understand why you killed yourself. Did you actually kill yourself? Why would you do that, Sunset? I mean, I know you were upset before because you thought we were treating you differently, but that wasn't why, was it? Was it?...

...I just want to say that I'm sorry. I should have offered to take you back to Equestria after the incident during the Fall Formal. I should have known that the school wouldn't forgive you right away after you bullied them for so long and turned into a demon. I didn't realize humans weren't as forgiving as ponies. In Equestria they would be able to see that you really did want to change for the better...

Moonrise felt the tears coming out of her eyes. She didn't know why this was making her sad, but it was. It brought a sense of deja vu to her mind. She nuzzled the book closed and curled up on top of it to sleep.

The problem with life after death is that anyone who has been dead for long enough to see the afterlife is, well, dead. As such there have been many interpretations on what happens after you die. Some believe that you simply cease to be; some believe you go to Heaven or Hell; and some believe in reincarnation.

Reincarnation, to put it simply, is the idea that after you die, your soul gets to live on in someone else's body, with no memories of your past life. You might be reincarnated as another person, or maybe an animal, such as a dog.

Well, that's certainly different. Sunset has returned but completely changed. Almost have to wonder if that's good or bad. Like everything in life, there are pros and cons. Just have to hope things go well for her.

And so it ends. Definitely a fitting name for Sunset's spirit.

...Well...I was kinda hoping we'd get a little more chapters before this.

Don't get me wrong, I like the ending. But there's some things I want resolved!

How are the HuMane 5 coping, physically/mentally?

Does Twilight still consider the girls her friends? Or did she cut ties with them after now knowing how they treated Sunset?

Is Rainbow gonna be more tactful when it comes to people? Or will she just lash out at anyone that'll try talking to her about it?

Is Rarity acting like she is in her letters? If so, how are the others dealing with it?

How is Pinkie holding up? Does she deem herself as some monster and is avoiding everyone and anyone in fear of hurting them the same way she hurt Sunset?

Is anyone doing anything about Fluttershy!? She's cutting herself now, but how long will it be until she tries to attempt suicide as well?

How is Aj dealing with all the drama? She's trying to be the groups rock but, so far, she's not really doing anything but observing the rest of her friends, dreading what they might be/are doing to themselves and not doing anything about it.

I planned to make the whole thing as ambiguous as possible so that everyone would be left hanging. Not to mention if I kept adding more chapters then there would be no clear ending point and I would just end up cancelling it to work on something else like I always do, at least this has an ending.
