My name is Canvas. I remember because I wrote it in the corner of the white box. It takes twelve steps to get from the cot to the wall. And the lights hurt my eyes.

(Note: The story isn't in color because I decided to try this without the gimmick! But I still recommend reading the GDocs version.)

A short story for Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Twilight invites Rainbow over for tea, and realises how much she enjoys her rainbow-maned friend's company. With some philosophy from Celestia and Luna.

Celestia's littler sister has kept a little secret from her for over one thousand years... Tonight is the night she shares a side of herself that Celestia was never sure that she had.

Returning home from a busy day, an unexpected sight leads one mare to realize what it truly takes to be a friend, and what it really means to be “genuine”.

Rainbow Dash has just passed away and is survived by her marefriend, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight is broken by the loss of her lover, and believes that she will never smile again. Will one last message from her true love be enough to pull her from her misery?

This story is inspired by the poem "Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye. A super big thanks goes out to Tyranasaurus0.0, TheStarsGuide, Magiccolt808, and Word-Sight for pre-reading and editing this!

He says not to give him credit, well too bad. He's a talented artist and he deserves all the credit he can get.

This story is similar to another story I've written so I expect to get flack for this one.

As always thank you for reading, and I appreciate any criticisms that you give!

EDIT: A member named Dimondium created a piano concerto for this story. You can find the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4uxdzoF6sA&feature=youtu.be

The song is very beautiful and, in this author's opinion, this story does not even compare to the heart tugging power of that song. Thank you Dimondium, you have no idea how honored I am.

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."
