//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: The Coronation - Carpe Diem. // Story: Memento Mori: The Last Days on Equestria // by Bronie312 //------------------------------// Finally, the most important day in recent years had arrived, the coronation of Twilight had arrived and we were going to take care of making this the best coronation in the entire Equestria's history. It had been a couple of hours since I woke up, but it was not the cough that woke me up, it was the fact of knowing that it was going to be one of my last days in life that woke me up. It's easy to ignore certain things, but knowing that you're going to die doesn't let you sleep peacefully, it never does. Instead of heading back to bed or making myself a nice cup of coffee, I walked slowly towards the living room, where I could find my guitar; so, I went to it and grabbed it, then I sat in one of the armchairs and there I stood, in silence. It was obvious that I accepted my fate, but… I still couldn't understand the simple fact that I was going to die. I didn't know how to feel, on one hand, I felt calm, but I could also feel devastated by the simple fact that my death was quickly approaching and that day was the one I had to end mending my past actions. While reflecting on my life, I heard someone knocking on the door, I was surprised by this since I didn't expect anyone visiting me at 4:30 am. I decided to get up and open the door, so I leaned my guitar on the armchair next to me and got up. Later, I walked towards the door and opened it; I was shocked to see the Doctor standing in front of me as he was supposed to be sleeping in his house. Seeing me in front of him, the Doctor spoke... "Oh. Hi, Frank. I- *Ahem* ...I hope I'm not bothering you at such an early hour. May I come in?" He asked, to what I said... "Yeah. Sure. Oh... And, doc, don't worry... I was already awake; please come in." The Doctor was slightly surprised, but nodded in response and entered the house. I closed the door behind me and sat in one of the armchairs, next to the Doctor, then I spoke... "So, why did you came to visit me so early? It's almost 4:40 am. Is there something wrong?" I asked he shook his head. "No, of course not- ...Well, something is happening. You see, I... *Sigh * ...I was thinking that maybe I could propose to Derpy.” The Doctor replied, to what I said... "Really? Doctor, those are great-! ...Wait, what's stopping you from doing it?” I asked by realizing that, the Doctor sighed and said... "There are two reasons." He commented. "And... which are?" I asked, he answered... "Your current situation..." "Oh... I see." I said while realizing what he meant by that. He sighed again and kept saying. "I don't blame you, Frank. These things happen to all of us, but... life throwing in my face a delicate situation like this, now that I want to make my love the happiest pony in the universe?... *Sigh* ...It makes me feel useless. And that's the second issue.” After he said that, I turned to look at him and he kept saying... “I no longer feel like the brave and smart pony that everypony knew 7 or 8 years ago. Now... *Sigh* ...I'm somepony who only clings to his closest ones and is afraid of losing them- *Sniff* ...that's what happens to me with you and Derpy.” The Doctor commented, to which I nodded, understanding what he was saying. "And now that you're in this condition, I'm dreading the same thing happening to Derpy... that would be something I couldn't bear to witness with my eyes... *Sniff* ...I don't know what to do, Frank. *Sniff* ...I'm scared and I don't know what to do." He ended saying while letting a few tears fall. "I'm scared too." I said in a muffled tone of voice, as I watched the fire emanating from the fireplace. I was silent for a few seconds until I continued... "...I'm not afraid of dying, I already accepted that. However, my greatest fear now is… to see you all, shattered by the fact I have to leave this world. Also, I can't stop thinking about the people I've hurt, emotionally... especially to Luna; I was a jerk and I said the wrong words at the wrong time and that hurt her, consequently... *Sniff* ...it hurt me too. Now I'll die knowing that I couldn't amend that gigantic mistake in my life.” I said, already with a tear running down my right cheek. "...And I have no intention to allow myself be the one who causes an unwanted change in the people I love. No, I won't... *Sniff* ...Doctor, you just... stop thinking about the negative stuff and allow yourself to explore the good things in life. *Sniff* ...When you feel ready to do it, go to your beloved Derpy and tell her what you have to say... at least, you still have the opportunity to do it, take full advantage of it.” I advised him after telling him everything he had to say; the Doctor looked at me with a surprised face, to which I smiled and said... "Doctor... if you don't want to, don't listen to me. But, if you want an advice… pay attention to your heart for a moment and reflect on it.” I ended up saying as I got up from the armchair and walked towards my room; although, I left the Doctor there alone, thinking about what I said... A couple of minutes passed, then I left my room with my formal suit and the Sicilian beret on, I walked towards the Doctor and said with a smile... “Doctor, you better go get ready. Because, in a matter of time, we will make history… My friend." About 4 hours had passed since I woke up and talked with the Doctor, we were already on board a train heading to Canterlot; the whole band was gathered in the same car, what's more, we had a whole train car for ourselves and this one had a minibar, of which we took advantage the most of. During the long 2-hour journey of the train trip to Canterlot, we kept talking and laughing constantly as we remembered the old days in the band; I really missed these meetings with friends and people that I considered as my family after so many things we went through together for 7 years. Harmony and joy that were felt in the environment were incredible and made me feel happy to be there since spending time with my friends and family was the only thing that mattered more than life itself. Also, during the journey, we told our lives that belonged to all of us after the dissolution of our band; however, what made us the happiest was having played one of our old songs together, again. At that time, we were the happiest and most joyous people in whole Equestria; the current occasion warranted a toast and that's what we did. We all drank a glass of the best wine that the bartender was able to offer us, being a wine from more than 40 years old. Between all of us, we were already celebrating our meeting and the fact that we were going to perform at Twilight's coronation, in front of a huge number of people. It wasn't long before we realized we were close to reaching Canterlot, so we all stopped partying, thanked the bartender for the exquisite wine, and prepared our instruments to get off the train as soon as we could. As soon as the train stopped, we got off as fast as we could so we could get to the taxi carriage office first; surprisingly, we ran into Shining Armor, who turned out to be accompanying us to the castle, we did not expect this, but we agreed to be taken by the Royal Guard. Then, he guided us to one side of the train station, where he showed us 5 carriages, in which the Royal Guard would take us to our destination, the castle. Soon after boarding the carriages, we began our last trip to the castle. Upon arrival, we got off the carriages and headed towards the place where we were going to perform during Twilight's coronation. Although, unexpectedly, our assigned place to perform was one of the balconies overlooking the large area where the guests were going to be. Despite the bewilderment of some, we managed to accommodate the place perfectly, thanks to the fact that the balcony was large enough so we could all fit together with our instruments. While Vinyl and Bon-Bon carried electric guitars, Derpy and Lyra were going to use basses, Starlight was going to use the drums, Octavia and Dr. Whooves had violins and cellos, and I owned an acoustic guitar and a piano for certain songs in which these would be needed. Having prepared for the presentation we were to have, I told the others that we could visit some parts of the castle while the final preparations for the coronation were taking place; then, most of us had decided to go see some places and explore the castle, although me and Spike had to see a certain group of ponies and talk to them about the coronation. As we walked towards the Throne Room, Spike and I ended up talking about many things regarding what had happened to us and how our lives had been in the last days; despite the fact that Spike and I had always talked about it for about 5 or 6 years, we liked having someone with whom to share our thoughts without fear that the other would give his refusal about it. Spike was, for me, not only a friend, but I treated him like a son; Spike represented what I needed in life, a son to give advice from life and teach him new things, so he knew how to act in a specific situation. He was the most precious person/dragon in this world, along with my beloved Luna and my friends, and I loved him as the son I never had. Shortly after been chatting with him, Spike and I finally arrived at the Throne Room, we entered in it and we could see Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Twilight chatting; when we got a little closer, they all noticed our presence and walked towards where Spike and I were. Twilight, as she has been doing lately, welcomed us to what would be her castle from that day on. I giggled a little at the irony that this meant, as she used to be one of the most nervous and restless ponies in all of Equestria and was now within hours of being crowned as the monarch of Equestria. Each and every one of my friends gave me a hug and spoke to me for a few moments about how I was at the time; everything went well until it was time to talk to Pinkie and Fluttershy, who still looked sad because of my health condition, but I still wanted to try to cheer them up a bit by showing them that day I wouldn't be coughing and spitting blood. Today I was going to be fine. It was difficult, but after a lot of effort, I managed to calm them both and make them see that I, at least for that day, was not going to suffer anymore. On that day, I was going to take advantage as much time as possible to have a great time with my family. Both expressed their sadness and concern for me, but I reassured them, assuring them that they would never see me coughing and spitting blood again. Hearing me comforting them and trying to reassure them, they decided to do what was best for everyone. After a half-hour of conversation between us, Twilight and Spike asked me to go talk with them privately, to which I agreed and we left the others talking to each other; the 3 of us walked down the hallway that led to the Throne Room, heading towards the royal balcony where Twilight would be crowned as monarch of Equestria. As we walked towards there, I spoke... "So... why do you want to talk to me?" I asked, to which Spike commented... “To be honest, it's Twilight who wanted to talk to you. I'm only accompanying you.” I nodded, understanding what he was saying... "I would like to ask you for advice." Twilight replied, to what I said... "About what?" I asked, then Twilight turned to look at me and spoke... "About a few issues, I'll tell you later." After saying that, we were silent and kept walking until we reached the royal balcony; when we stepped out onto the balcony, Spike said goodbye and returned to the Throne Room. She sighed. "I need advice. What can I do?" She asked, I said... "What do you mean?" I asked her in confusion, she replied. "I feel nervous and somewhat anxious because of the coronation, my nerves have invaded my body in the last days... And I don't know what to do about it." Twilight commented, who already looked worried about what would happen in the future. I smiled and laughed a few... "That is a very common feeling. But, if you want some advice, I'll give you some... *Ahem* ...don't think about it and never feel like everything will go wrong. Thinking and caring about something or someone only drives you to make a silly move that could turn out things even worse.” She turned to look at me as she processed what I had said. "But- ...I don't know how to stop worrying." She admitted, I laughed a little and said... "You really need a therapist." I joked, which bothered her a bit, although I kept talking... “You must be calm and at peace with yourself. Never think about the bad things that may happen, just act normal and be calm… That's my advice.” I concluded, to which she was silent, reflecting on what I told her. "I understand that and I will heed your advice, but... That is not the only reason I wanted to talk to you. *Ahem* ...You see, I-” Twilight commented, but I stopped her… I sighed. "Twilight, don't worry about me and my health, I'll be fine." I tried to comfort her, but she didn't want to accept the simple fact that I was going to die... "No! Of course you're NOT okay!... I-In a few hours you'll be dead! How dare you say don't worry- *Sniff* ...You are my friend- OUR friend, for Celestia! Aren't you afraid of dying?!” She exclaimed with great anger and confusion in her voice, I replied... "No. Death doesn't scare me, after all... it is part of the cycle of life. But… I should admit that I am afraid of the possibility that my death will affect the lives of others.” I commented, to which she exclaimed again. "But of course your death will affect us all!... *Sniff* ...You are our friend, Frank. You've supported and helped us in any way possible... *Sniff* ...You're like a brother to me, that's why I visited you during the last few weeks.” She commented, understanding her emotional state, I hugged and comforted her. “It doesn't matter if I die, you still have long lives ahead… And you shouldn't allow my destiny to influence yours; I already accepted the fact that I will die, now it is your turn to accept my destiny and let me go when I'm no longer with you, physically.” I smiled when I saw her reciprocating the hug since she understood what I wanted to say, but still couldn't fully accept it. "Twilight... You must accept the fact that not every one of us will be here for you, some of us will be gone in a matter of years. As the princess and monarch of Equestria, it is your duty to be an example for others to follow. As the saying goes: even if life throws a train in your face, smile.” I said, to which she tearfully commented. "So- *Sniff* ...what will you do now, Frank?" She asked, I responded with... "Carpe Diem... what I mean by this? Well, I'll take advantage of the day… even if this is the last one I live in.” It was almost 6:30 in the afternoon and the coronation was about to begin as the start time got closer and closer; the schedule in which the coronation was planned was about 4 hours long, so it would start at 7 in the afternoon and end at 11 at night. Knowing that we were going to be the ones to entertain the guests, we had to do our best to give a spectacular performance to keep the guests happy. I won't lie, we were all nervous, this was going to be our first and only performance after 3 years separated. Shortly before the ceremony prior to Twilight's coronation as monarch of Equestria began, I gathered the entire band to deliver a speech that, I hoped, would motivate them and help them not be nervous. "Hey everyone, please allow me a minute of your attention." I said as I saw the band gathering around me and sitting on the floor to be more comfortable. Looking at them, gathered around me as we did in the old times, I sighed and spoke... “As you may know, this is going to be our last performance as a united group… but it will also be the greatest of all our performances on stage; we will enter that balcony and perform as a band, but we will leave there as a family. And most importantly, don't worry about a thing… just have fun and enjoy the occasion.” I commented with determination while putting my hand in the middle of everyone, inviting them to do the same. Having motivated those whom I considered my great and only family, we prepared ourselves for the beginning of the coronation; meanwhile, Dr. Whooves and Octavia rushed to the royal balcony to play a melody that kicked off Twilight's coronation ceremony. It was a soft and sweet melody, with melancholic touches printed on it. This song was capable of relaxing even the angriest and grumpiest pony in all of Equestria, as well as making you remain in harmony with yourself. Shortly after, the song ended and we heard from the inside how the Doctor and Octavia received applause from the guests. After this, they both went back inside and received praise from us while they blushed for that. Immediately, the applauses of the guests were heard as the coronation began; we heard the speech that Princess Celestia and Luna gave, these sounded totally happy. I smiled a little when I heard them and warned the band that we should be ready for our first performances on the balcony. After it became clear that the coronation had some complications, finally a speech from Twilight began to take place. In it, she appreciated the support from her friends and that she was very honored to become the new monarch of Equestria. Finally, she added a sentence that gave us the signal it was our time to shine. "Now, I'm honored to present you the return of a great band. With you... The Equestrians!" One by one, everyone that was going to perform on the balcony, began to go out to the balcony while Twilight was introducing us to the guests; when Vinyl and Spike came out onto the balcony, the applause began to be heard, this made it evident that the guests could realize it was happening. However, when they named me and I stepped out onto the balcony, all the guests gave a great deal of applause and whistles of excitement and euphoria; the excitement, euphoria and the passion, as well as the extraordinary joy within me, were present as I watched our audience applauding euphorically as it stood up and some shouted with happiness to see all of us reunited once again. From one moment to the next, Spike and Octavia turned on their microphones and spoke through them to calm our audience; after this, everyone else turned on our microphones and I spoke through mine… "Good evening, ladies and gentleponies! I hope you're doing fine because we are doing great! Today, and only today, we are going to perform in front of all of you! Enjoy it!" I exclaimed, then I told the others... "Very well, you know how it is. Let's make this an extraordinary show… 1 and 2. 1. 2. 3. and 4." (Back Off Boogaloo - Ringo Starr) At the end of “Back Off Boogaloo”, Spike and I immediately switched roles since now he was going to be the main singer (Freddie Mercury) and I was his companion (David Bowie) in the next song. He prepared his voice and spoke through the microphone... "I hope you loved our previous song because now we are playing a classic!" (Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie) When "Under Pressure" ended, the guests went crazy as they kept clapping and shouting the band's name, "The Equestrians." I couldn't believe it, we were back and people loved seeing us again, even the Changelings, Dragons, Kirins, Hippogriffs, Griffins and Yaks were applauding after hearing us play two of our songs. We knew that the next song was going to bring back memories to people who were fans of our music, so we announced that the song to come was "I am Octavia" and we let Octavia speak through the microphone... "*Ahem ...Well, ladies and gentlemen, I hope and 'I am Octavia' will bring you good old memories from the past." Octavia commented calmly and politely. (I Am Octavia - Elie Monty) The euphoria of the audience was abysmal, each and every one of us could hear each and every scream the guests made; there was a moment when the screaming was so loud that we had to cover our ears for a few seconds to avoid getting deaf. Fortunately, the princesses managed to calm the crowd and we announced that we would perform two other songs before resting for an hour. "Okay, dear audience. We will play 2 other songs and have a little one hour break… *Ahem*…the next songs are: Johnny B. Goode and Rocky Mountain High." While announcing the role of the lead singer to the Doctor, he would also use the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar, respectively. "And 1. 2... 1. 2. 3. and 4." (Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry) (Rocky Mountain High - John Denver) "Okay, dearest audience. We'll be back soon, enjoy dinner." Lyra announced happily as we all retired from the balcony and entered the castle again, upon entering, we met the princesses, except for Luna, who approached us and congratulated and praised us for the good music we had performed. While Lyra, Bon-Bon, and Octavia chatted with Princess Cadance, and the others chatted with Princess Celestia, I decided to take a little walk through the castle hallways and reflect a little on what just happened. I was happy to have returned to act together with my family and amend that mistake in my life, but... there was still another mistake that had to be amended in some way, I still did not know how to correct my mistake by having hurt my beloved Luna. However, luck was on my side at that time since I ran into Luna in one of the hallways, it seemed she had also decided to take a solo walk. For a moment, I thought about talking to her and trying to resolve my mistake, but a feeling stopped me. I wasn't sure if she would want to talk to me after what happened in the hospital, so I was about to turn around and go back to the others, but a sweet voice stopped me... "Frank, I know you're behind me." Luna said as she turned around to look at me in the eyes, then I said... "Oh, Luna... I- *Ahem* ...Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I was going to leave, if that's what you want." I commented, although she shook her head... "No, Frank... I would like to speak to you. If it is possible, of course." She asked, I nodded immediately. "Of course Luna... Do you want us to talk here in the hallway?" I asked confused, she laughed a little at the nonsense I said and spoke... "No. Nearby there's a balcony, we can talk quietly being interrupted.” Luna commented, then she went to a door, opened it, and went out onto the balcony. I closed the door behind me, I didn't want anyone else to listen to our conversation and surely neither Luna did. So, I turned around and looked at Luna, who was sitting on the balcony, looking at the stars. I walked towards her and stopped next to her, I looked up at the stars; as we watched the beautiful young night, Luna spoke... "How... are you, Frank?" She asked, I turned to look at her and sighed... "Being honest with you... bad, very bad." I admitted, to what she said... "Why?" "...I was an idiot. I said the wrong words at the most inappropriate time; and, despite not having been my intention, I hurt you and that bothers me a lot." I said sadly, she commented... "That's in the past, now." "Well, it turns out my past haunts me every day and night." I looked directly at her face and she did the same, although with a bit of anger on her face. "*Sigh* ...What I said back there, in the hospital... It wasn't my intention to hurt you, but, as I said before... I was an idiot. And that's something I can't forgive myself for. Never." I said with a deep sadness in my voice, which Luna noticed immediately and replied... "Then why did you leave me? ...I loved you, I still do. However, I don't know whether to express that love to you again… Since you hurt me, twice.” Luna commented with anger and sadness, I replied ... "In that case, I was a big asshole… twice. First, I abandoned you only because I was afraid; now, I hurt you and I don't know how to amend my mistakes." I admitted at the same time I let out a couple of tears of misfortune and deep sadness. Luna, on the other hand, seemed to have become somewhat melancholic as she kept looking at the floor while remaining silent. However, unexpectedly, he pounced on me and hugged me while sobbing heavily; I was surprised by this, but I also hugged her and we both ended up crying together for a couple of minutes. We could feel the tears of the other falling on our shoulders, but neither of us cared, all we wanted was to let off steam on the other's shoulder. At one point, we broke the hug and looked at each other, but we still kept sobbing and shedding tears; we were silent for another couple of minutes, although, Luna spoke... "Frank, I -... *Sniff* ...forgive you. *Sniff* ...It was also my fault by being mad at you- *Sniff* ...you were just trying to explain something to me and I misinterpreted your words- *Sniff* ...I-I'm so sorry." She explained while was constantly cut by sobs, I spoke... "Luna, I-" I tried to say, but Luna had interrupted me with a kiss. About 20 minutes had passed since Luna and I had reconciled, however, by then, the band's break time would have almost ended and that meant I must return with the others and keep performing on the balcony for another hour. It was then that I quickly said goodbye to Luna and returned to the place where the others were. Upon arrival, we all prepared ourselves to continue performing until the coronation and all the celebration that it entailed ended; we had reorganized and decided that we would play even more songs than we previously planned before ending with one last song. When the echoes of people shouting the name of the band were present, we knew that it was our time to go back out onto the balcony and best in the best way possible, in our way. One by one, we went on stage as the euphoria and excitement became more and more present, we also felt how the environment had changed to one that made us feel sure of ourselves. So we started singing... "1. And 2. 1. 2. 3. And 4." (Take Me Home, Country Roads - John Denver) Sung by Dr. Whooves and Derpy (as the companion). (Keep Yourself Alive - Queen) Sung by Spike.

We stopped performing for a moment, as we got relaxed inside the castle, we kept talking about how much the audience seemed to love our performance. As we laughed and told jokes, the Princesses came to where we were to congratulate us for such a spectacular performance; although, I immediately stopped them to tell them that we had more songs to perform and that these were the last ones. In the middle of the talking, we heard the audience calling for us to come back, I turned to look at the Princesses, who nodded in response. We all gathered one more time and I motivated all the band one last time before getting back to the balcony. I turned on my microphone and spoke through it. "*Ahem* ...As you may know, this band has been for you during 7 long years and that's why we want to perform the last songs with all the enthusiasm we have left. And, as everypony should know, we even wrote a song in honor of our newest member of 'The Equestrians', in those times... Spike The Dragon... Ladies and gentleponies, Hey Spike."

This is going to be the last song of the night... I hope you'll enjoy it." I said through the microphone, then the last song began to be played. (Luna - Alessandro Safina) Sung by Frank and Spike (as a companion). And this is how we ended a unique and spectacular performance in front hundreds and hundreds of spectators, who rose from their chairs and clapped loudly until the echo could be heard from miles away. All this made us realize something... "We did it..." I whispered as I smiled. After so much effort, after a long journey that we had traveled, after so many pains and the intense pain that many of us had... Finally, The Equestrians, we... had become legends. To Be Concluded...
