Twilight's life: A race against time

by Serenity Darkmoon Raven


Chapter 4- Final day

The next few days went by very fast, Twilight didn't like how fast the week was going and how she'll die in a week. But the final day arrived, the last few days were days to remember. She ruled Equestria for a day because she wished to rule Equestria after Princess Celestia died. She was a fair ruler, she made prisons less violent and more rehabilitative. She made Meth legal just for a day. Then, the next day she went to the Ponyville prison, she then walked through the dark, narrow hallway. There was a flickering light in the middle of the hall. She looked for the cell that holds her ex-colt friend, Green Tea. She, after a few minutes which felt like hours reached his cell. She saw Green Tea sitting in bed. He had a grin, his head resting against a fluffy and white pillow. She said, "Green Tea, remember me?"

Green Tea's eyes opened and he sat up and saw Twilight, his smile faded and said in a mean tone, "Oh hey Twilight...it's nice to see you after all these years.."

Twilight said, "Well, I have a disease... I will die... this Saturday.. I came and asked if you wanted to get back together... again... I think you learned your lesson and.. in my heart, I still love you.. I just want a... short term relationship"

There was a silence before Green Tea said, "No... and also I found a few filly friend, her name is Lemon Cakes. She is so cute, nice, and also she tried to bail me out.. unlike you..."

Twilight's grin dissolved when she heard those words. She then took a deep breath and said, "Okay." and walked away. Green Tea had an evil smirk on her face. Then she watch TV played video games, and even took a nap. The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift.

Then the next day, Thursday, she decided to give back to the community. She picked up garbage that was left behind by lazy ponies. She wears an orange vest and picks up trash with her hooves. She said in a sad tone, "I only.. have a few days left to live... so why not help the community.. it's a nice thing to do." She picks up trash and puts it in green garbage bags.

The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift. Then it was Friday, two days left before Twilight's doomed fate. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had an announcement so they told the other Mane 6 characters and told them to go to Twilight's home. They had a sad look on their face, a few tears escape their eyes.

Rainbow Dash said to the other four mares sitting in the purple couch, "I have Everfree Weave Syndrome.. too..." there was silence in the room, Rainbow Dash's eyes started flooding with water, tears run through her face. Then, Fluttershy walked forward to the group of mares, who could be heard crying and weeping. A puddle of tears were under them. Twilight ran and hugged Rainbow Dash.


After a few moments, Fluttershy said, "I have.. it too... " Then, Fluttershy's eyes started changing color, she could be heard sneezing three times. Also, she had massive rashes all over her body, head, and even on her wings. Rainbow Dash then let go of Twilight then started itching her body.

After a few minutes of Rainbow Dash itching, she groaned in angry tone, "Stupid itch." she continued itching her body like crazy. She groaning, she even using her mouth to stop the itch.

Then all of a sudden, Rainbow Dash's eyes started changing color too. She yelled, "Stupid symptoms.."

She then yelled, "I wish there was a bucking cure!" as she itch the itch and felt heat on her forehead.

Apple Jack then said in a sad tone, "I thought losing one friend was bad... but now we are about to lose... three friends.. my best friends.. that is even worst!"

Pinkie Pie said, "Not my Dashie.. why is she going to die?" She then started crying a huge stream of tears, creating a huge puddle of tears on the ground.

It was a sad day, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy not wanting to infect any pony decided to stay in their houses until they die. They can't wait to see Twilight on the other side. They were also heard crying, they will miss their other friends and if a villain comes and attacks Ponyville the other three won't be able to stop them with the elements of harmony. They knew that when Spike wore the Element of Loyalty instead of Rainbow Dash, they weren't able to stop Discord so how are they able to stop any villain with only three of the elements of harmony.


Then, The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift. Then, it was Saturday or to Twilight, the final day, of Twilight's life. She woke up, she was sleeping on the purple couch. She let her friend sleep on her bed, she wanted to spend her final days with Twilight before she died.

Twilight's eyes changed color, and she then felt something in her mouth, she rushed to the bathroom and could be heard vomiting. She was also crying and wheezing. After a few minutes, the toilet can be heard flushing the water ran. Then, Twilight left the bathroom.

Pinkie Pie then walked down the stairs, she had a happy look on her face and said, "Twilight, we have a surprise for you!"

Twilight said, "What is it, Pinkie?"

Pinkie turned around and said, "Follow me!" She and Twilight walk together, upstairs then they saw a huge banner written in purple, "We will miss you, Twilight!" There was a brown table and on top of the table there was a big, two layered cake, topped with pink frosting and sprinkles. There was confetti all over the place, there were gifts on the ground, Twilight's smile got wider and wider. Her eyes twinkle.

Then, Apple Jack, and Rarity yelled, "SURPRISE!" They jump out of the hiding places. Apple Jack hid behind Twilight's Bed and Rarity chose to open the bathroom door that is in her bedroom. They both had a smile on their face.


Twilight said in a shocked tone, "Wow.. thanks.. I don't know what to say..... thank you!"

Apple Jack then said, "That is what friends are for!" She said walking from her hiding spot.

Then, Twilight said, "You ponies even got me... gifts.. thanks," She then yelled, "OUCH!" when she felt a zap pain on her chest. She walked over and opened the first gift wrapped in blue and purple stripe wrapping paper. It was an astrology book. It was yellow, had the twelve zodiac signs on the cover and written in red text, "Astrology"

Apple Jack said proudly, "Ay got ya that.. ya know how much you love books.. ya don't give a hoot about Astrology but ya know ya might like it.." She had a smile on her face.


She then said, "Wow, I love it.. thank you, AJ!" She had a happy look on her face, she then opened the next gift in pink wrapping paper wit blue polka dots. It was a purple scarf.

Twilight said, "Amazing gift.. I lost my old scarf..."

Rarity said, "I got you the scarf, it goes great with your coat.."

Twilight then said, "Thank Rarity.. so thoughtful!"

Then Pinkie yelled in a happy tone, "Open mine, Open mine!" She had an exciting tone on her face.

Twilight said, "Okay, Pinkie.." she then opened Pinkie's gift wrapped in yellow wrapping paper, she had a giant smile on her face when she saw what it was, it was a jaguar plushie.

Pinkie then said, "You love jaguars, you said it when we were at the zoo!" She had a smile on her face.

Twilight chuckled and said, "You got that right Pinkie!"

Then they grabbed plates and cut the cake. Everypony in that room was happy but were also reminded of Twilight's fate in a couple hours. They ate cake, played video games and even napped.


Then, after several hours, Twilight woke up. She had a peaceful look on her face. She looked out the window and saw the sun slowly leaving the sky, the moon slowly moving up the sky. Her face turned into a frown quickly, dissolving her once, beautiful smile. She then said, "Oh... no.. it's almost the end of the day.."

Twilight said, "Apple Jack, Pinkie, Rarity... it's almost the end of the day... I will die soon.. I will be gone.."

Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie woke up and then had a distressed look on their faces. Twilight said, "I love you... you were the greatest friends ever..."

Twilight then yelled, "That spider that gave me the disease is a cunt!"

She then felt dizzy, she then ran over to the couch, she laid on the couch, she said in a weak and sad tone, "This... is it... I'm sorry but I got to go.. I love you... please don't forget me.." She had tears running through her face, her eyes are filled with water, along with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Apple Jack.. There was silence in the room.. Then Twilight slowly closed her eyes, she laid her head against the purple, fuzzy couch. Her heart is no longer beating, her eyes are closed permanently, her grin is upside down.

Pinkie Pie's mane deflated again, she then laid on the ground and started sobbing a huge amount of tears, the ground under them was flooded with tears, Rarity and Apple Jack also cried. There was a silence, Then, all of a sudden, Twilight's body started to rot.

Apple Jack asked, "Hey, what's that smell!?"
