Sunset nearly loses everything to one of the stupidest things that's ever happened to her. However, in spite of how dumb all of it was, it continues to eat away at her. She knows it shouldn't, but she can't stop the feeling on her own.

Thankfully, she doesn't have to do it on her own.

This is the only thing I will ever write referencing anon-a-miss. No relation to any of my other canon.

The world below her is burning, and all Nightmare Moon can do is watch.
What do you do when all you've ever known ends? Not by your hooves, but by those of another.

Written for Everfree NW Writing Contest

Alicorns are immortal. Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi are not.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has no intention of going through life without her dearest friends...

Even if she has to do something extremely questionable to make that happen.

Princess Luna has had a...difficult life. The rift that separated her from her sister, the advent of Nightmare Moon, and the Tantabus are all chapters of her life's story she wishes had never happened. The torment of memories such as these has resulted in a never-ending struggle to come to terms with her checkered past.

Tonight, Luna's struggle is especially difficult. Will she be able to endure the emotional onslaught of her grief and regrets? Or will she crumble under its weight, her heart torn asunder by the burden of self-condemnation?

They all idolized Celestia, and she could never understand why.

Why would they praise her, why would they shower her with such adoration and glory? Celestia knew she didn't deserve it. But still, she could never bring herself to tell them the truth. She was far too selfish, far too cowardly to ever let them see who she really was--

Just a pony. A pony who made lifetimes of mistakes that still weigh heavy on her shoulders. Would her subjects accept her that way?

Maybe, just maybe, Luna can help the sun princess see the light.

When Rainbow Dash gets a letter that tells her about an accident, she suddenly finds herself flying home for the first time in many years, with her thoughts boggled and her heart racing, only hoping to discover the best, where as her mind can only consider the worst.

Far ahead in the future, Twilight wakes with a start - she had a dream. The dream was that of the old days, when the mane six were still together, the days that are now just a smudge in the history books, long gone and long forgotten. As Twilight prepares for her royal duties, the memories of her past eat away at her, remembering it piece by piece. How does the newest alicorn reflect upon those lives which she drastically diverged from - all part of her 'destiny'?

There had never been six greater ponies. There had never been six greater friends. Their lives took them many places, but not always together. They came together in the end though. Not even death could keep them apart for long.
