In an alternate timeline, Twilight Sparkle never became an alicorn princess. Instead, Star-Swirl the Bearded's spell and the Elements of Harmony brought about the end of her life. Two months later, her friends and loved ones are still in mourning from her passing. But just because Twilight's dead it doesn't mean her friends don't see her anymore...

Applejack wakes up one morning after a Pinkie Pie party to discover that there's something stopping her from saying her namesake. Can she discover how to stop it before it starts causing more trouble than it already has?

This story was originally intended to be entered in the MLPChan Thanksgiving contest, but I ended up finishing it twenty minutes late. I decided to upload it here anyway, but first sent it to a couple friends and made changes based on their recommendations.

Twilight Sparkle is dead. She died in battle, fighting to preserve the uneasy union on United Equestria between the pony races of old Equestria and the space ponies of Unicornicopia.

But in the wake of Twilight's death, the harmony she strove for has not endured. Using their control of the might armed organisation Starfleet, the Unicornicopian grip upon the land has only gotten tighter. Celestia is isolated, Twilight's friends are scattered, across the stars millions live or die at the whim of the Grand Ruler and his proconsuls.

Project Sentinel is the next step in the evolution of Starfleet, a perfect defence against a hostile universe: clone soldiers created from the DNA of the very best that ponykind has to offer. One such clone, Eve, is a physical copy of Twilight, with enhanced strength and none of the pesky moral qualms that made the real Twilight so annoying for Starfleet to deal with. When Eve, together with a small group of fellow clones, breaks free to search for deeper meaning in her existence, she sets off a chain of events that may allow all of Equestria to break free from tyranny, and all ponies to choose their own destinies once more.

Once Applejack's job is done, however, she has a chance encounter with the store's owners, and it's one that opens the android's world up just a little bit more....

But he's getting the nagging feeling there's something she's not telling him.

Check out the sequel: Here!

This story was featured!? Wow! Thank you all so much!

Starlight Glimmer had heard of the rumors. She thought it couldn't be possible, she had finished off those mares decades ago. But she had to come see it for herself...confirm those little rumors and put them to rest for good.

Unfortunately for Starlight, her return is exactly what they've been hoping for.

Inspired by the ending of FNAF 3.
