It's the aftermath of what could have been a cataclysmic event. The Sun, however, was defeated successful, and now slowly sinks beyond the distant skyline, never to be seen again. Moving forward, Equestria will be powered by artificial light. Surveying the aftermath, Twilight, Celestia, and Sunset have a short conversation about it.
Of course, since these ponies already know what happened, no further context is necessary.

This story sounds like it needs to be expanded on. Will you do that?

Absolutely not haha
Who knows when the sun will rise again.

Complicated only because this is not how this works. It would be the planet that's being pushed away by the star. They're called orphan worlds. Planets thrown out of their solar system, and left abandoned in the void.

i 100% knew this when writing this section (to be clear - i didnt know the specifics, i knew someone would correct me cause i knew i was wrong lol), so thanks! if im feeling spicy ill go back and write this part to be more accurate...i didnt even make it 24 hrs before the correction haha
It a interesting premise, make for a longer story, the problems from losing the sun are more then light, heat, no tidal shift, no wind, the rain cycle would stop, the massive effort needed to prevent global extinction would take everything twlight and the world working together, but hey I'm looking too deeply
Wow, I can certainly say I did not expect that ending. As a fan of astronomy, that was pretty cool to randomly see in a story here. The idea of Equestria living in an eternal mix of artificial sunlight and moonlight also doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. I know some of the other comments have mentioned scientific facts such as the loss of tidal forces, wind, photosynthesis and such. But honestly, this is a world where the Sun is raised by a pony, which means that the Sun and Moon both revolve around the planet, not just the Moon. This is factual since we see the Sun raise ultra quick sometimes, and if that were the planet rotating, the winds would devastate it and kill everyone.
Anyways, cool story!
