All The Memories...
Goodnight... Glow...
"I get to go to school this year!?"
"Yep. I arranged to get you in early, seeing as you’re obviously smart enough, thanks to me."
“Thank you mommy! I love you so much!”
“I love you too, and you’re welcome...”
A tear was running down the lavender mare's cheek, Octavia running the orchestra under a mat to avoid the rain, and all of Twilight's friends sitting respectfully behind her, dressed in black. Even Rarity kept to the normal mourning dress code, for her friend's sake...
"Tell me again how you and daddy met."
"Alright, but just once more. I was making my way through Manehatten when the most kindest of stallions bumped into me."
"Daddy right?"
"Hmm... yes. Not only was he kind though, but he was also quite the looker."
"Mommy!"
Twilight started to weep in front of the grave, her friends behind unsure of how to comfort her as they just sat there, silent. Softly, Twilight whispered to herself, feeling as though she was still talking to Glow, even though she knew that she wasn't...
"If only I was there... If only I didn't let you go... If only I had waited until next year like he said..."
Pinkie Pie, being the first to find the courage to do so, stood from her seat as the rain continued to pour, the band finishing one more song before packing up. When she reached her friend's side, she said nothing. The pink pony wasn't sure how to help, and she certainly didn't want to say anything wrong. With hesitation, she placed her hoof on Twi's shoulder, just to let her friend know she was there for her while the mare continued crying, her tears blended with the rain...
"Hold on! I'm coming. Yes? Can I help you?"
"Mrs. Twilight Sparkle?"
"Yes..."
"There's... been an accident..."
"An accident? What do you mean?
"There was a fight at your daughter's school... and she tried to step in and stop it..."
"Is she hurt!?"
"Not anymore..."
There was no controlling the flow of tears coming from her eyes now, the rest of her friends around her, feeling her pain as they sat in silence...
"No! That can't be her! It just can't be!"
"Somepony restrain this mare!"
"Twilight! There's nothing you can do..."
"It just can't be her! I refuse to believe it!"
"Twi..."
"No! Don't try to make me believe it!"
"Twi..."
"I said NO!"
The unicorn had her head buried in her hooves now, basically digging her snout into the ground. She felt she couldn't get low enough, so far down that the feeling in her heart would just at least be at even hight. The band had left, and the rain hadn't let up since the start of the service...
"I don't need your pity! Get out of my house!"
"Twilight! We are your friends! We are just trying to help you!"
"I don't need help from the likes of you! I don't need nopony's help!"
"Please Twilight, let us help!"
"NO! GET OUT!"
"Fine! Have it your way..."
"But... Rainbow Dash..."
"Come on Fluttershy... we aren't welcome here..."
Nopony could understand her. Never has a life been lost at such a young age in Equestria, and everypony knew that. The only ponies to show up were her closest friends, and she was glad they were there, even after how bad she had treated them. Everypony else was scared to show, fearing what hurtful words the intellectual mare might spew if they showed...
"What do you mean!? You're saying our little filly is..."
"Yes..."
"How could you let this happen!?"
"It wasn't my fault!"
"Then who's responsible!"
"I don't know! Nopony would confess!"
"So you're gonna just sit there and let them get away with it!?"
"What else can I do!?"
Twilight's body shook a bit as she was trying to breath, the sorrow and pain leaving her breathless as she cried. Evey moment her friends hooves were on her back or shoulder, the harder it was not to sob. No matter what anypony would tell her, she would always feel like it was her fault, and the love of a mother is a stronger love than anypony will ever know...
"Where are you going!?"
"To Manehatten! I need to get away from... from all of this!"
"Fine! I don't need you!"
"And I don't need you either! Goodbye!"
"Hmph! I don't need anypony! Nopony... at all..."
Twilight just laid there on the ground, wallowing in sorrow. Applejack was the first to speak with her since the start of the service, and her words did little to help. AJ had not been around her friend in her anger, and only just heard about the accident yesterday...
"Ah'm... sorry fer yer loss..."
The mare just glared blankly at her honest friend, faking a thankful smile as she nodded. Never had she needed her friends more than she needed them now, and they all knew that...
"Isn't there a spell I could use to bring her back!?"
"Twilight, my faithful student, you know that kind of magic is forbidden..."
"I know... but what if I-"
"I know it must be hard for you, but there isn't any way I can help you. I'm sorry..."
A few hours passed, the last of her friends to leave being Rainbow Dash. With a heavy heart, she sat there, staring at the newly marked gravestone. She didn't want to leave. She didn't want to leave her filly again. She only wanted to hold her again, hold her close and to never let go, but she knew that would never happen. Not now... not ever...
"Starlight Glow! It's time for bed!"
"Do I have to? I can still see the sun going down though..."
"Yes, silly. You want to get up early for your first day of school tomorrow, don't you?"
"Yes! I can't wait to make all kinds of new friends!"
"And I can't wait to meet them when you do..."
"Hey... mommy..."
"Yes Glow? What is it?"
"Goodnight, I love you..."
Twilight stood up from the grave, the rain clearing up as a beam of light dimly shines behind the dark thicket of cloud above. With half a smile, and with hurt within her that she never imagined possible, she whispered...
"Goodnight Glow, I love you too..."

So I decided to try my hoof at something JUST sad, and thus, this was born into exsistence.
Let me know what you think!
Well, I think it's far too short. At least it's too short for me, in my eyes just a nameless pony died.
I don't know more than her name, don't know her father, how she grew up, character trait's, anything really. The story boils down to "Twilight had a child that died on the first school day". That in itself isn't bad, many great story's can be reduced to a single sentence but your story lacks all the description.
Btw, today is the first school day here and the first for my nephew
Right in the heart area, would be the heart if I had one
Anyway you did well. Good job.
it was very good and sad and the name song i do beleve is lucy right?
This caught my attention... But I'll read it tomorrow... I hope you give me the goosebumps~
"Not anymore..."
That's just terrible...
Aww, no cookies for me...?
Well, I think I already told you this, but this story actually made me go 'why can't I hold all these feels'. There's something, something I can't really explain, in it...
But anyway, Ilike this~ And I'm guessing most folks read it will as well...
(Don't prove me wrong...)
And again, no cookies?
I liked this story and its going on my favorite list. As someone said its kinda short and we don't know much about her daughter. But seeing as im the emotional type i still found myself having a hard time keeping back a few tears.
Aww. The only thing is that we don't know this character, Starlight Glow, well enough to feel sympathy or dread for her horrid demise at school. All that we know is that she is Twilight's daughter. Though perhaps this is not about her but about Twilight, I cannot feel sympathy for Twilight because we, as readers, did not get enough time with her daughter well, or better yet, her moments being with her daughter; we got some, but they were short and only had dialogue. So it's hard to have any emotion, but I did feel bad for Twilight, losing her kid who was so young.
1078363>>1079556>>1079744 I know the story in itself is VERY short, but this is just something I kinda threw together in an hour or so.
Which I didn't think it was too bad for such a short amount of time.
BUT I will keep your comments to heart if I decide to write something truly sad.
1079324 No Venka... no cookie for you...
1079000
I'm awful aren't I?
1078374 Correct! Great... now I gotta go bake you a cookie... or buy you one... or whatever...
Thanks for the comments! Really, you don't know how much of a confidence booster that is for me...
Ah, this was a nice story. While I somewhat agree with Langly and DarkAngelx, I liked this story a lot. It was fun to have a short little read, and it did bring tears to my eyes.
1079991
that it's funny.
That line was the sole reason I faved this story. Because it's so
1080195
I know what you mean.

Well see, I wanted to write something with impact, but with as little words as possible. Main reason it's JUST over 1,000 words.
While I normally despise OC's, this fic was good.
I cried. Well, I would have cried, since I can't cry, but it was good. You read my stories, now I read yours. Thank you. Thank you for writing this.
1664891
Glad you enjoyed it so. 
Giving your second story a look at now.
Thanks for the comment.
That final line is what did it, I’m to emotional to be a rebel
