With Maud settling down in Ponyville, Marble studying in the Crystal Empire, and her parents finally deciding to retire, Pinkie Pie wonders if Limestone is going to be okay running the Pie Family Farm all by herself. She's never done well on her own, and her cold demeanor probably isn't going to get her a boyfriend anytime soon.

Luckily, she knows an equally lonely human who is perfect for the job!

Sunset drags you through the portal for another weekend escapade, but once you're through you realize this isn't the usual trip. Twilight has a new spell to try and you get to see just how much ponies enjoy pets.

Sunset Shimmer has been trying to prove she’s changed but seemingly no one was willing to put the past in the past except for her friends. These five girls seemed to forgive Sunset for her past “boo-boo’s” but now in the semi-finals of the Battle of the Bands Competition Sunset made a mistake and is reminded once again of Canterlot High’s opinion of her. The irony is she could’ve dealt with that, if not for the lecture from her friends but she could’ve dealt with that as well if there was any reason to believe she did what she did for selfish reasons but there isn’t. Sunset makes a bold move when she asks her friends “what if it had been one of them?” she gets an answer that sends her off and in a time of need someone reaches out a hand to help her but who that hand belongs to could lead to trouble.

A journal was found. Old and weathered with years untold. The first entry was dated yesterday:

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and for the last 33 days I've been stuck in a time-loop, repeating the 23^rd of March, 2 A.R. It is still unknown how the loop started, nor how I can end it. All I can say with any amount of certainty is that time for the rest of the world resets every night, and every morning I wake up it is the morning of the 23^rd.

Now with a reading by ObabScribbler. Link!

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...

Comments have Spoiler for the plot of the Story!!!

Yes it has both "Death" AND "Comedy" as Tags and that´s intended before you might ask. If you read the Story you will know why!

What exactly is this Story about you might ask? Well here you go:

As you might have already guessed, it' s my personal rewrite of the second last episode of the series we all love so much. Some parts of the script is the same and in general the story follows the flow of the original episode - just with my own ideas and quirks.

Stuff like not expected and unnatural twists, way too powerful characters and all the rest as to be expected from me, for sure.

Oh and we don´t want to forget I might be crazy and write stuff that kind of only makes sense to me. BUT I´m a very happy person and can´t by any means stand sad or horrifying stuff. So no, not from me!

Disclaimer:

Rated Teen to be on the safe side

I would like to point out that this story contains some figurative descriptions of more serious injuries and violence. (I may have even gone over to the graphic part, I'm not familiar with the difference. So I honestly don´t have a clue). However, in my opinion, still not enough to justify "Violence" or "Gore". As there is no Blood involved so I think it´s fine. If you disagree let me know, thanks.
-> there is also a slight mentioning of a petrification sequenze as you probably can guess. Just so you know

There are also quite a few swearing words, though in a way one would probably use them themself when angry or pissed and not excessively.

--> While at work, I suddenly had the idea to rewrite my own ending for "The Ending of the End - Part 2".

- Will it make sense? - Most likely not.
- Will it be random and crazy? - Oh yes it will! xD
- Will it be 10 times longer than I had though and intended? - Absolutely!

The chapters are too long, even for my sake. Yet thanks to my idea of having it spell out a full sentence and the fact I spend half an hour even separating it into these three chapters...It will stay this way.

Otherwise have fun reading.

Comments and Suggestions are welcome. But pls don´t ask me about logic. I dont know that one either :p

Sunset was very hurt and betrayed by her so-called friends after they callously dumped her during the Anon-A-Miss incident. However, she can't bring herself to leave; she can't go back to being the person she was - aloof, cold, and alone.

And so she buries it. Tries to forget it. Easier said than done.

In the episode "A Canterlot Wedding", we see everyone treat Twilight Sparkle rather shabbily, and when she's proven to be right, no one apologizes to her - not even Princess Celestia. How might this have affected Twilight?

Celestia has never used her full power.

Ever.

But that might be about to change. Chrysalis has contacted her and requested a meeting out in the middle of nowhere. Celestia expects a trap. In fact, she's hoping for it.
