    Life isn't fair, in the blink of an eye you can lose all your friends. Twilight faces this dilemma, it has been roughly a year since her friends were all taken through a stroke of bad luck. Celestia sees Twilight's depression, and offers to use a spell that can only be used under the right circumstances. When the spell is successful, all of Twilight's friends return, but with a catch.

    Make sure you comment and rate! I'm always looking for compliments and constructive criticism to improve my writing!

    How is it even sadder? I've just explained the plot. It doesn't start to really get sad until the end, it's supposed to be a sort of bittersweet happiness until then!

    Ok, maybe I'm over-reacting...... but it just came off starting similar to The Magic Never Fades Away, which made me remember said fic and made me sad again. Last Party we see the events that led up to the climax, but this story will go into the painful aftermath, which always hit me hard.

    Oh well, looking forward to another epic story :twilightsmile:

    This isnt the saddest part? I'm allergic to manly tears and I had to slap myself to stop from shedding them. I really thought you should have mixed this with The Last Party to make it so Pinkie didn't die the same way all her friends did.

    This is definitely well written grammar-wise. I do like the story, but some of the descriptions of the characters' niches after they were gone were a bit almost slap-stick in my opinion. A horde of bunnies attacking the town without fluttershy? It seems facetious to me. The whole town lost the ability to party because Pinkie Pie wasn't there? I know what you are trying to do, but I hope your next chapter isn't so scientific.

    If this is as sad as everyone says, perhaps I'll have to do a cold reading once it's complete. But that means I wouldn't be able to read it for a while. Oh, the decisions!

    Efficient, evocative language.  Great grammar, always love to see that! :raritywink:  This story is so damn sad, too, by the way, because Twilight is so alone.  I would think she'd still have Spike, and he would share her loss.  Sweetie Belle should probably live at the Library before she goes into foster care, assuming her parents aren't around.  Twilight sort of knows how to be a mom since she helped "raise" Spike.  I could see Twilight befriending Apple Bloom too, in much the same type of relationship she had with Applejack.  The Apple mares are all quite clever, and Twilight respects that.  Anyway, Twilight still has friends, and they need her now more than ever.

    Beautiful.

    Is this by any chance based off of Mitch Albom's book For One More Day? The synopsis sounds very similar, not that I mind :pinkiehappy:

    Oh, very well...

    I was just curious since I did a story based on another one of his books. He writes really good stories.

    As far as grammar goes, you do a very good job. I do have a couple of suggestions:

    "She took a red rose out and laid it in front of the tombstone, on top of the pile of other, either dead or waning, flowers."

    I'm not a floriographist, but I think there are other flowers that represent death and grief better than a rose. Lily, perhaps?

    "She took out a white lily and gently placed it on top of the pile of dead or dying flowers that were already lying in front of the tombstone."

    Other than that, You did an excellent job. I would like to help edit!

    Five stars for you.

    A very promising premise. I can imagine what possibilities this story might hold in store. For captivating my interest, here's another watch. :)

    I think manly tears are going to be shed in upcoming chapters :pinkiesad2:. Noticed one slight continuity error: Sweetie Belle doesn't live with Rarity, she lives with her parents, as seen in Sisterhooves Social. Nothing really important, though. Good job!

    Sigh... Another fan-fiction that leaves me with the mindset of hating the writer to death, strictly due to the emotional gravity of it... (That's a good thing.) :fluttershysad:

    Good stuff. There are a few spots here and there that would benefit from better word-choice, but the prologue has done its job and pulled in another reader. Petty little grammatical issues can be corrected later, the story looks like it will hold up well regardless.

    I really like it so far, well written and no mistakes :pinkiehappy:

    The only real criticism I can give is you're telling sometimes instead of showing. Such as when Twilight is reflecting on the loss of her friends, I think a flashback would have added more depth to the story.

    Other then that though, a really great start! :twilightsmile:

    its already sad even ho its the prologue! :raritycry:

    Ever since Fluttershy died

    That line sends chills up my spine just thinking about it.

    this may be sad, but its nowhere compared to My Little Dashie.

    If you can make it sadder than My Little Dashie, you win all my Internets(and a tub of tears)  :fluttercry:

    >>168568 I would've done the flashback, but I didn't want to add a dark tag to this fic, which is why I only briefly mentioned how they died. Leave it to the readers sick minds to picture how it happened.
