Equestria. A land of Tolerance and Love.
Disputes between ponies are resolved quickly by them in order to maintain peace and friendship. And social taboos are something unheard of in this land.
Except for one thing.
When a dark secret about Scootaloo leaks out of Pinkie Pie's party cave, the young filly sees herself confronted with a reality so harsh, that she would have never thought of it as possible, not even in her darkest nightmares.
Scootaloo's life has changed. Forever.

Written for the Writer's Training Grounds of Equestria Daily for "Party Pooped".

Twilight faces the thought of immortality with her usual aplomb: falling down into a ball of misery and confusion about her role, and what she will do in the eventual absence of her friends and family.

That is, until a much older Twilight Sparkle takes the time to talk to her.
