The time has come for the funeral of Twilight Sparkle.

Princess Cadance is grateful she doesn't have to attend alone.

Featured from June 15th to June 17th, peaking at #1. Thanks, everypony!

After becoming one of the few A.I.’s that didn’t immediately turn into a robotic racist after being uploaded to the internet, Sweetie-Bot-Says is invited to a special event to give a personal interview with the world.

They weren’t prepared for what she’d have to say.

An entry for the Science Fiction Contest based off of A.I. like TayTweets. The contest lasts until January 6, 2022, so feel free to enter. There’s cash prizes for the top 3, and for creativity and execution. All you need is a sci-fi tag and you’re eligible. (Unless it breaks some weird rules in Australia.)

A normal end to a normal day -- at least, that's what it was supposed to be.

But it wasn't.

Luna went to raise the moon as usual, but something went wrong. Terribly wrong. She felt it, but she couldn't stop it.

None of us could.

It appeared too suddenly -- acted too quickly.

The only warning we received was a roar and a bright flash of light, then everything was gone. No more Canterlot, no more ponies, no more anything.

Nothing survived.

Nothing... except for us and whatever 'it' is.

We may be immortal beings, but that doesn't make things any better -- if anything, it makes the pain all that much worse. The only thing we can really do now is try to avenge those dear to us. Our subjects... our families... my friends...

Everything.

I don't care how long it takes, and I don't care if it's a pointless battle. All I care about now is making sure we put that thing down for good.

After that?

Well...

Equestria died long ago, but Princess Twilight wouldn't give up. She made her own star, and built a small planet alongside it.

For a time, these new worlds knew harmony, and learned to prosper in a dance of friendship and magic. But even these worlds would eventually die, and the ones that replaced them.

Finally, the universe itself began to die, as all remaining matter evaporated into radiation or was sucked into infinitely dense singularities.

That didn't stop Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Extinction. Such a terrible word. Earth experiences an extinction level event and the human race will not survive.

Until a tear in the ashen gray sky appeared, giving mankind hope...

In a shared dreamscape, Twilight asks her fellow immortals: what gives meaning to an endless life?

Celestia is the very image of beauty and perfection, and has been for over a thousand years. Inevitably, she receives a large number of letters every Hearts and Hooves Day. Luna is not amused, especially when they interfere with politics.

Now with audio reading! Generously provided by Quinch of the Golden Oaks Memorial Library.

Rumor has it that if a pony says Discord's name five times in front of a mirror, he's forced to appear there.

So who thought something like that could actually be true?

As well as annoying.

Chrysalis has a pirate ship now. Unfortunately, most of Equestria is landlocked, but that won't stop her.

If my timing is correct, this story will come out immediately after a sad story about a suicidal Sunburst from someone else on the new stories page. I just thought that was funny. Still, it doesn't seem bad, so maybe go read it

EDIT: YES! THANK YOU POST QUEUE, YOU TIMED IT PERFECTLY!

After fighting off the alien fleet that menaced Earth, XCOM turns their focus to warning other worlds of the possible threat. When Doctor Moira Vahlen is accidentally sent to one of those worlds, she learns that the the invaders have attacked Equestria. Who will protect them from the horrors they're about to face?

Sorry, I should clarify that last bit. Who will protect the aliens from what they've just gotten themselves into?
