"What will happen once we are all gone? Will the future know who we were or will we be forgotten and erased from history?"

Having recently saved Equestria from the most powerful enemies it had ever seen, a victory bought with the strongest fighters of the kingdom, Twilight can't stop thinking about these questions and what the answers might be.
After several sleepless nights and still without any answers on the questions that plague her mind, Twilight decides that the ponies and creatures of Equestria have to take historical matters into their own hooves and claws.
No one knows what the future will bring, but what if they would bring themselves to the future?
The friendships of Equestria are worth fighting for and they are worthy of being preserved. Ponies and creatures die and make room for new generations, but ideas, experiences and stories live forever.
All she needed to do was to ensure that Equestria's future generations can learn about their friendships and what made them special. And Twilight had just the plan for that.

A love letter to all the ponies and creatures of Equestria and to the show, comics and books that gave me the chance to learn who I truly am.
We don't know what the future holds, but as long as we don't forget and don't stop to care about the ponies and creatures we've met, the friendships forged in Equestria will never leave us.

Hey so the G5 movie has come out! I've made this short little story as a tribute to its release. I liked the movie overall. I had a few problems with it, but I really liked it none the less. I definitely like it more than than the MLP FIM G4 movie (I liked that one too, but I like the G5 movie better). I hope all of you liked it too, and I hope you like my story! Would love to hear your opinions on the movie and my story in the comments.

Story challenge by MissKoiFishPony

Based on the Disney movie Tangled. Pinkie Pie was a princess, the only daughter of Queen Celestia and King Sombra. She had magical glowing hair that could cure the sick and heal the wounded. In honor of her birth, the king and queen released a floating lantern into the sky, and a thousand on her birthday each year.

One night the evil Mother Adagio stole the princess from the palace and raised her as her own daughter. Pinkie had always dreamed of leaving the tall tower that Adagio had never let her leave. Every night on her birthday Pinkie could see the glowing lights in the sky that she could never explain. Then started the inexplicable urge to see them up close.

When the wanted thief Mozzarella Jack comes to the tower, they make a deal. Now Pinkie is on a journey with Jack and her pet alligator, Gummy, to see the lanterns, and for Jack to get his fame and glory. Little do they know that their adventure will take a slight detour.

It’s one misadventure after another for Pinkie Pie and Rarity as they hoof it home. They'll throw down with angry locals, empty stomachs, tourist traps and the largest confection this side of Equestria. It's not just a question of can make it home. Can they do it together?

Inspired by classic comedy duos, you'll find a bit of Laurel & Hardy, a smidgen of Abbott & Costello, a dose of Martin & Lewis and a well-timed dash of Hope & Crosby.

Gummy is the best pet in the world! He always listens to me, never moans or complains when I talk too much, and always comes along with me without any resistance. Sure, he isn't much of a talker, but he's a really swell listener. Every day I spend with him is super fantastic!

Yet, Mr. and Mrs. Cake always look sad every time I play with Gummy. Those sillies! Don't they know that Gummy couldn't hurt me even if he wanted to? He's all gums! Duh! Even my friends have been showing "concerns" about my relationship with Gummy.

I don't know why they're being such party poopers all of a sudden!
