Music is beautiful. It is one of two things which can express the inexpressible. But when you do not have music what is the other method of expression?

Night and day. Fire and ice. Creation and destruction. Everything has an opposite, and Chaos is no exception. Princess Celestia tells Twilight the true history of Discord's rise, the Alicorns' fall, and the creation of the Elements of Harmony.

She tells her student the story of Order and Chaos.

When you've lost all your friends, you just have to make new ones.

All good things must end.

Twilight knows this, but she's not prepared for the loss that shakes her heart.

But when her world is full of storm, there just might be a rainbow in the end.

A choice. A choice made eons ago... and the consequences still eons ahead. Comforted by the presence of Princess Celestia, Spike reflects on the bittersweet memories of his friends, their lives and their passing. As he recalls the decision he made in countless ages past, the gentle dragon can't help but wonder... "Might I have been better off?"

Each has had their own hardship to face. Each has an attachment they need to keep. And each has only one night left to make sure their feelings are known.

Twilight Sparkle is leaving for a year, to travel throughout the world and study with masters of magic scattered across Equestria. Spike, after an accident that put him in a strange position, has had to choose between his oldest friends, or the ones he's made over the years. Pinkie Pie is reacting more violently than any of her friends thought she would. And Rarity, all the while, is trying to deal with reemerging feelings that she thought she'd not needed.

With one night before Twilight's departure, the four try to make their last night together matter, each in their own way. And in the end, they will come out of it changed for the rest of their lives.

My one shot at a one-shot (oh god the puns!). I hope this is as good as I want it to be, which is selfish, but that's what this is about.

I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, yada yada yada, etcetera etcetera. I think you get the point, so I'll stop wasting your time and let you move on to the story.

Today isn't just an ordinary day. At least, not for Scootaloo. She has everything planned out perfectly. She'll play with her friends, they'll laugh, they'll have adventures, and it will be the best day ever!

Won't it?

(Written before Season 4, so some parts of the fic have and will be made non-canon. Not going to tag AU, since the fic was complete before this information was available.)

In the wake of a massive storm, time and patience will heal the physical damage to Ponyville and its residents. But how do you treat an injury that you can't see?
