//------------------------------// // 6. Dear diary. (A few excerpts from the journal of her majesty Princess Twilight Sparkle) // Story: Chasing Eternity. // by the frank //------------------------------// Year 324 A.N.R. Entry #15-6 Usual routine. Sunset still don't think Brinner is a good name. Tomorrow it will be 263 years, two months and three days since... *teardrop stain* Entry #17-6 Usual routine. I also want to forget about yesterday. It is still impossible to make a spell to make a memory disappear. D probably could help, but it is not worth the risk. Yet. It has only been 200 years. I can survive a few more. Entry #21-6 Unusual routine. Blackcurrant. Refreshing. I needed some change today. Entry # 22-6 Usual routine. Parsnips was down with the flu today. His replacement apparantly sports a russian accent. Why? Well, not why they do, apparently they're from Stalliongrad. Why do I have a prussian secretary? They would be more efficient as a conductor to the royal chamber orchestra. I may need to send them to the conservatory. Entry #23-6 Usual routine. Night court got a few of 'those' cases. When did I grant a stallion to marry a haycart? I dismissed him, refering to not having a proper license for marriage, just for driving in the old town. He claimed that was the same. I don't want to know what he meant. That stallion was weird. And he still managed to find love. *teardrop stain* Entry #24-6 No. Just... No. *teardrop stain* Entry #25-6 Entry #26-6 Entry #27-6 Entry #28-6 Entry #29-6 Entry #30-6 Entry #1-7 Entry #2-7 Entry #3-7 Entry #4-7 Usual routine all these days. I didn't have the energy to write anything detailed, and if I want to know what I have done, there's still the royal archives. They have everything stored, including what I had for brinner. I... The royal Equinox ball is coming up. I don't want to. I really don't want to. I am considering asking Griffonia for a small war. But I don't think I will. That's more of Sunset's thing anyway. Entry #7-7 Ball is tonight. Adagio came yesterday. I took Sunset's duties for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. They don't get even half the time together that they deserve these days. That was many T's... I want some tea. I will get it. Strawberry, with honey. Perfect. Celestia's special for rainy days. I need to write to her. The moons are soon in the right place... Perhaps we can even go visit? It's been a few years though... can I still use legs? My chambermaid is insiting on me getting dressed. Why. I don't want to. I am royalty, why can't I just... skip it. Why can't she be her, with me. Rarity. How she would have enjoyed herself, trotting up and down the corridors, dissecting her dress with a doctor's eye for details, reading through all the tabloids, believing as gospel truth all that happened in Lady Windjammer's pavilion last Heart's warming. And here I am, alone. Not enjoying it at all. I miss her. Entry #8-7 Journal... I have met somepony.
