I walked over to my desk looking down at the arrangement of Flowers I had bought so I picked them up as well as a card and I slowly walked over to the front door. My hooves were shaking as I reached for the door knob “I can always do it some other time… ya” I said in a shaky voice and turn around “NO That is the same thing I said last year I HAVE to do this” and so I turned around and walked to the door but stopped and looked at myself in the mirror both my dark blue coat and my dark brown mane were shining having been given a extra attention my horn was also in tip top shape, everything was set to go and with that I walked out the door.

“Spike could you bring me that herb” she said as she stared over a cauldron of a unknown substance, she had recently found a book with a lot of faded wording and missing pages in it along with the recipe for a potion so she had decided to find out what it does. “Spike?” she turned around to see spike running around wildly “oh I hope I haven’t forgot anything” he said as he quickly checked through his bag “never mind I will get it she said as she trotted over to a small table picked up the object in question and dropped it into the potion. 

There was a knock at the door “that must be them” Spike said grabbed his bag and walked over to the door “have a nice trip to Canterlot tell Celestia I said hi” Twilight said and she continued to stare at eh potion before her. Spike opened the door to see 2 royal guards “I’m ready” he said as he walked to the carriage and jumped in “Bye twilight” he said as they flew off. Twilight waved as they flew off once they were out of sight he turned around picked up a spoon and top a sip from her potion…. and nothing happened taking a few notes down she put the spoon down and began to clean up.

So she decided she would start with the cauldron but while was emptying it she felt something nagging at the back of her brain annoying her to the point where she lost focus and spilt some of the concoction on the floor. She swore, and kicked the side of the sink with a loud thud she stopped, she had never sworn before but now that she thought about it the act was entire justified so she sworn was more getting quite angry from the fact that she now had a new mess to clean up.
After she had finally cleaned the mess of the caldron up see was much angrier than when she had started she couldn’t explain the anger that she was faced with but really she didn’t care. She looked at the herbs and bottles that she still had to clean up and gave a annoyed grunt, as she levitated them sorting them back to their original spot but at this time she was to angry to concentrate and ended up dropping a vile of a very precious herb of the floor ruining it. She swore once again and as she threw a chair at the book shelf causing the books to tumble off this caused Twilight to get even angrier as she realized that she had an even bigger mess to clean up when she started so absolutely sheathing see got to work in silence.

Scattered throughout the pile of books she found pages the made her think that she had a damaged book which didn’t help her temper so she gathered up the paper and set it on her desk so she began to pile up the books before putting them away and she searched each one to see if it was damaged in anyway. After seeing that none of them had any sign of harm she walked over and examined the pages to see if they had any clues as to what book the belonged to and upon closer inspection she found they were apart of the book that she had been reading earlier and of the potion she had made earlier. Diving into the she was able to find out the side potions effects on whatever pony drinks them. “this potion was discovered by a pony who was seeking revenge on one who had wrong him and used it to cause the pony to get in trouble with the royal leader at the time and was imprisoned for a short while. The point of this potion is to aggravate the drinker and create feelings of hate and anger the potion lasts for several hours or until the pony next goes to sleep”. Twilight set the pages down now knowing what the cause of her anger was, but she still didn’t seem to care all she felt was anger that such a stupid and useless potion had ruined her day.
There was a knock at the door
*******
I put my hoof down after I had knocked on the door heating up as I began to get nervous. Twilight opened the door with a less then welcoming “what”.  “um Twilight, I, um, will you be my special someone for hearts and hooves day” I blurted out “It’s just your so smart and from the first moment I saw you I fell in love, every time I look at you, you fill my heart up with joy, and you can always cheer up a day of sadness for me, so will you be my special someone” I said as I placed the card and flowers in front of her. Twilight stared down at the items in front of her than looked at the pony still angry and said “oh what a pathetic gift from a pathetic pony” she said as I stared back in shock “who would have thought that a pony like you could think that I would like you, in fact I don’t see any pony liking you, you should go back to your house lock the door and never come out and in fact about your little gifts” Twilight reared back and stomped on the items multiple times and with that she slammed the door shut. 

I stood there my mouth agape as my body tremble and I turned around and I ran back to my house locked the door and silently walked over to my desk. Levitating a small note pad and pencil I collapsed on the floor and began to write something down. As I wrote It became increasingly hard to write with each letter when finally I screamed and ripped all the pages from the book and began to cry on the floor “WHY, WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE AND CHARESH RIPPED AWAY FROM ME” I screamed as I bawled on the floor and after what seemed like hours and I could no longer cry I stood up and walked outside to a place that I sometimes went to when I was feeling sad.

Meanwhile….
Twilight after slamming the door in my face and feeling satisfied surveyed the room and got angry when she remembered that she still had a huge mess to clean up, giving a very annoyed grunt she kick over a pile of books which in turn started an avalanche burring and knocking out Ywilight sparkle. 

Later (after the potion had worn off) Twilight awoke under what was a immense pile of books she lifted the pile up with magic and stretched out her sore limbs “uuggg why is it such a mess in here, no matter” she said and because she could now think clearly she was able to make quick work of the library and had everything back in its place. Glancing at the clock and realizing what time it was “OH SHOOT, I’m late to meet the girls at the spa” galloping towards the door she opened it and was about to gallop off when she stepped on something at her door step a mashed up pile of flowers and a small letter I wonder what these are doing here she said picking them up. Suddenly all of her memories came back from when she had first taken the potion and when she had been knocked out, she could barely breathe at first as she sat there in horror at everything she had said and done forgetting about everything she galloped off towards my house

“ED!!!” she scream as she barreled through the door she ran through the house searching for me once realizing that I wasn’t  there she trotted back into the main room and looked at all of the pages  on the floor with a quick spell she was able to determine what the pages numbers where and quickly arranged the accordingly. Her heart filled with sadness as she skimmed through the pages and when she read the last entre she began to fill with a mixture of dread, terror, sadness and the general oh my god wtf have I done felling.
And with this she burst out of my house and headed to the spa
*********
“OH this is the life” rarity said as laid her head back against the side of the spa tub. Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack and pinkie were also in the tub, “OH this bath is so amazing it’s so quiet and….” “GIRLS” Twilight screamed as she ran in. everypony jumped in surprise as she yelled ad turned to face “what is it sugarcube” apple jack said immediately upon hearing her stressed voice, Twilight took a deep breath in as she explained everything that had happened in the past little bit and with in seconds they were searching everywhere.

With no success they all met in town square “where is he oh where is he twilight said as she search around and stopped and charged back to the group “found him yet” twilight blurted out when she reached them and was disappointed when all she heard was no’s from them. “hey what are you grils up to” the cutie mark crusaders said as they approached the group “HAVE YOU SEEN ED” twilight screamed a them. All startled but twilight “um ya he was up at sunset hill” sweetie belle said as she realized she was talking to a dust cloud of where twilight had been before taking off to where I was.
*********
Sunset hill is a steep slope on one side and a cliff on the other. It has its name because it gives a excellent view of the sunset.

I sat on the hill head down on the grass as I though over everything that had happened to me, was I really always going to be alone? Yes, there was no question about it there is nothing for me but just sadness and I can’t take it any more so I looked across and saw the sun going down as rays of light and darkness shot across the shy seemingly battling each other for victory. Standing up I walked over to the edge of the cliff looking one last time I jumped off and began to plummet to the ground below.

Was this it? Is this were my life is supposed to flash before my eyes? Well even though that wasn’t happening I looked at the sunset on the way down it truly was a beautiful sunset and I was glad as this was my final sunset that it was such a beautiful one. The rays of yellow orange and red yielded to the rays of purple, blue, and black as the sun crept down. I held my hoof up to my face looking one last time at myself before I started to glow a light purple but before I could find out why all there was, was pain and darkness.
