It had been a year since Twilight had heard of anything from Trixie after the Alicorn Amulet incident. Unexpectedly, she receives a letter saying that her so called "rival" has tragically died and is requested to be at her funeral.

Equinox writes to his best friend, Nocti. But why doesn't she write back? He's really, really sorry that she had that accident. But it wasn't his fault... was it?

In the aftermath of a violent confrontation with a dark villain, Celestia finds herself staring down at her own bloody remains, and is soon after visited by the Reaper, who tells Celestia that her destiny does not allow him to take her into the peace of Elysium.

It was not the last time Celestia would meet Death.

A/N: Rated teen for mild gore. Because death isn't pretty sometimes. This is a one-shot. No more. I can't handle the feels.

There once was a filly. She looked for her special talent with her friends in the form of crusading.

Then came a horrible, disgusting demon.

Time, is something that I do not have to spare. The waters of my life is slowly dripping away before me. I cannot stop my inevitable death. It approaches me like an old friend. Patiently waiting as my life ebbs away. I do not fear death. I welcome it, with open hooves. But... Before I die, there is one wish that I hope to see fulfilled. It might prove difficult, even impossible. However... I no longer have anything to lose. And I hope to at least find some form of comfort before I leave this world, forgotten and swept under the drain.

I wish to meet my love, Princess Luna.

What if Applejack and Rainbow Dash had been too late to save Twilight from her fall in the Everfree forest?

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.
