Of course... when BigMac decided to give the news to the family, they were heartbroken but understood the reasons for his decision, this happened near so right after he had told Cheerilee his plans, and during Discord's lunch with Tera. BigMac packed his items and valuables.
"Now remember, I'll still be in town, I'll just be living with Cheerilee now, call me if anything happens." They all shared a tearful goodbye not noticing a shadowy figure using some magic to hold up an unseeable object in the background.
Rainbow Dash had essentially taken some time off from the wonderbolts, as per instructed by Spitfire to reflect on her actions, she was mostly just cloudbusting and accidentally busted right into Firefly. Rainbow blushed and shook her head, but now was the time.
"Whoops, sorry Firefly."
"You're fine." Firefly said nonchalantly, dusting cloud off herself before getting ready to fly away.
"Wait-!"
"What is it," Firefly responded in a hurt tone, it wasn't even a question.
"I'm also sorry, for everything else I've done..." Rainbow paused and took a deep breath. The first thing you said was something Twilight had said to me... and after she recently sacrificed herself, I took that, unfairly, out on you."
Firefly was stunned. After Rainbow had become a Wonderbolt she was known for her slight ego and cockiness, to the point where she heard mumbles that she didn't have much emotion other than loyalty, ego, and cockiness. To hear this coming from Rainbow was a shock she'd never expected.
"Thanks... I guess we can start on a new hoof."
Rainbow gave an awkward smile and shook her extended hoof and neither of them noticed the shadowy figure dash by them.
Fluttershy was feeling a little better about herself and decided to head out and water her flowers. Some of her neighbors took notice and waved her, hello, and some even came up to tell her that they were glad that she was ok. But... Fluttershy knew she needed to go somewhere... Somewhere to give her closure.
Fluttershy knocked on the castle door.
Fluttershy was a little surprised to see Trixie answer the door.
"Oh, one second, I'll get Starlight."
"Hey, Starlight," Trixie began to shout so Fluttershy plugged her ears with her wings. "Come look who's at the door!"
"I'm still not going to let anyone in that's pretending to be her rela- oh!"
Starlight ushered Fluttershy in and gave her a hug.
"Glad to see you out and about, I'll allow you in too..."
They all headed inside but Fluttershy noticed a certain stitching on the inside of Trixie's coat. It was an order of light blue, pink, white, pink, and lastly another stripe of light blue. Fluttershy pointed at it with just curiosity.
"Hey Trixie, what's that?"
"Oh, it's the trans flag." Trixie nodded at Starlight, who Fluttershy assumed knew and Starlight went off to do something else.
"You see, Trixie... wasn't born a mare." Trixie fumbled through her hat and pulled out a young photo of herself. A colt, who looked a little younger than Applebloom, maybe around 10. He had long hair and glittery makeup on him.
"That was you?" Fluttershy questioned "You look so adorable!"
Trixie chuckled.
"Yeah, I thought so but... looking back, I think back then I always knew I wasn't a colt or a stallion but I was teased for liking illusions, magics, and all the sparkles and glitter.
"Hahah, look who it is it's Lucian Losermoon!"
Trixie rolled her eyes in her memory and just kept walking."
"Hey, Glitters, he was talking to you!"
They shoved the former colt on to the ground.
"Lucian... can like glitter if he wants."
"Yeah, but it makes you a fucking pansy."
" "They were ragging on me until the teacher came and reprimanded them... I did always like him... until around five later when I realized and came back to him with my name and hope of his support." "
Fluttershy cocked her head.
"Oh... my, was he not supportive?"
"No..."
"Lucian, what do you mean you want to be a mare?"
"I told you, Trixie always was a mare and please don't call me that name."
"Y'know, Lucian, it is your name."
"No, my name is Trixie and I am a mare!"
" "I remember being so angry... I thought he was there."
"Come on Lucian, the only tricks I see is a fellow gay stallion trying to be... a damned mare."
"Trixie... doesn't go anywhere near him If she can help it."
"Oh, Trixie, that must've been so horrible... thank you for openening up to me."
They hugged but neither of them noticed the shadowy figure dart out of the castle.
Pinkie and Cheese were planning the "Rememberance Of Twilight Party" along with Maud.
Maud nodded and pointed at their Party Blueprints™.
"If we're going to have it at Twilight's old castle we'll have to run it by Starlight, I think I can get her to agree to it."
Cheese Sandwhich nodded in agreement.
"That'd be perfect for the ROTP."
Pinkie sighed, her natural tone was a pinkish-grey but she had basically gone grey stoned. She was gaining some colors back.
"If we're going to have food, then we should avoid quesadillas, she's afraid of them. We will want vanilla ice cream and red balloons."
"They're planning... my funeral?!"
The Pony of Twilight let out a loud wail and stomped her hoof. The smoke poured out of her eyes.
"ALSO, I'M NOT AFRAID OF QUESADILLAS!"
"Alright party ponies, soon we will bring our friendships back together and we'll all remember Twilight for the amazing leader and princess she was."
They all put their hooves together over the Party Blueprint™ and lifted them up, now that this was planned, what could go wrong?
BigMac was called to the orchards early this morning, but before that Applejack and Spike had woken up, got Applebloom up and did their morning chores before breakfast. They got breakfast prepared and when Applejak went to wake up Granny Smith, she felt cold. Applejack panicked and had checked her pulse... Granny Smith had passed on in her sleep. BigMac was called, because they felt it important.
"So Granny is-"
Applejack nodded as Applebloom sobbed into Spike's arms. Spike saw Applebloom as a little sister of his own and would be there for her.
"Our Granny... is no longer with us BigMac..."
Applejack dared not let a tear fall. She did it when her parents died but that was the last time she'd cried.
She didn't cry when Golden Delcious died.
She didn't cry when Winona had to be put down.
She didn't cry when Grandpear died.
She didn't cry when Twilight sacrificed herself.
No way could she cry now, even if she wanted to. She had to be the emotionally strong one. Her family was big, sure. But the ones she lived with all her life for the most part... They were all dead.
