Twilight my love,

I am growing older.
You will surely laugh at me, and I will deserve it. Please, take your time. I know you are laughing! But after ninety years of my subjective time, I can confess at last that I am getting older.
I’ve lost track of the years outside. I have an axiom-chronometer in my room aboard the Celestia IV. There’s many throughout the ship! It’s not… I don’t want to look at them too closely. I could know to the second what time it is for you, but I do not look.
I lost track at two thousand? Was that it? I’ve lost track of when I’ve lost track.
We’ve asked so many times, you and I, why I did this. And to be honest with you, I think all of the answers were correct, but incomplete. I got the closest when I realized I just wanted the romance of sailing the stars. It’s not complete as an explanation either, but its the most honest answer.
Of all our friends, my love, we are the last. The two of us, eternal and immortal. Well, maybe not the second one.
I’d like to come home.



Twilight







My Rarity,


Come home. 
Come home as fast as you can, dock your ship to the one I am sending to your current assignment. Brief your replacement, already picked, and let the Luna’s Charger bring you home faster than you have ever gone. It is my fastest ship. For a hundred years I perfected its design. Its service to ponykind has always been a secondary bonus to the purpose it will finally serve: bringing you home.
Come home to me. Come back to Equus. It has been so long. Ten thousand years, Rarity. A hundred for you. I know you’ve lost track. You’ve told me so many times before. I too grow old, but not as you do.
Did you know that if you cannot be unchanging? All things move. Nothing is constant. I am changed, even though you’ve said so many times I have not. I am so excited to show you how. To learn again to be together forever, all of that, I’m just so excited for it. Please. Come home.


Seeing you soon,
Twilight
