//------------------------------// // 3 weeks later... // Story: Their Final Stand. // by WingzBolt45 //------------------------------// -Ponyville 3 weeks later- A Funeral was held in the newly rebuilt Ponyville after the six elements had lost their lives in the fight. During the funeral the mayor stepped up and made a short speech: "Mares and Gentle colts. I humbly appreciate you all for coming to the funeral of the six elements. We recently received a letter from Twilight sparkle before her sacrifice 3 weeks ago." The mayor cleared her throat and read the short letter: "Dear Ponyville: I should first mention I appreciate what you all have done for us. We also should apologize about not being here sooner when Metanite had started his destructive part on the town. If you are reading this now, We have either died or are still in hospital. I thank you for being there when I needed you. So goodbye and good luck. Sincerely: Twilight Sparkle" Tears had started running down every ponies eyes from Twilight's last letter and then proceeded to place roses on the six coffins. Derpy then walked up and tears rolled down here eyes. "Thanks for always being there Dash. I hope you won't stop your flyin'." Derpy then hung her head and softly cried. After the funeral every pony had walked backed to their homes to mourn. It would be like so for the rest of the month. -2 years later- 2 years had passed and the new mayor Apple Bloom had revealed the new statue dedicated to the 6 ponies: "I thank y'all for comin' to this dedication ceremony of the 3 year anniversary of the sacrifice of the elements of harmony. So it is my great privilege to reveal the new ponyville statue." 2 Pegasus then pulled the cloth off revealing a statue of a gold pony with a plaque on the base saying: "THEIR FINEST HOUR: DEDICATED TO THE SIX ELEMENTS OF HARMONY WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO SAVE US." Apple bloom then thanked the ponies for making this possible and from then on no evil had lurked in Equestria ever again. -1 year later Canterlot Palace- "Dear my second faithful student Starshine Brightglow: I thank you for taking the place of my former deceased student Twilight Sparkle. Good luck on making friends and may I be with you always. Signed: Princess Celestia" This princess then tearfully got up from her bed and sent the note to Starshine who was in ponyville, trying to reach the same goal as Twilight's, making friends. After a few minutes spike then coughed up the letter and sent it to Starshine who was in her room reading: "Twi..I mean..Starshine! A letter from the princess!" Starshine then looked at the note and levitated it to herself reading it quietly. After a few minutes she rolled up the letter and called spike over: "Spike take a letter." "Sure thing." "Dear princess Celestia: I thank you for you humble letter and I will try everything in my power to reach this goal. Your Second Faithful student: Starshine Brightglow." Spike then rolled up the letter and sent it to Celestia. Spike then turned to Starshine but was soon interrupted by a knock at the door. Spike then walked down to the door and opened. "Oh hey Pumpkin Ca.." Spike was soon interrupted by the bouncing Unicorn who was much older now: " This is your singing telegram, I hope it finds you well. You're invited to a party cause we think you're really swell! Sparkie's turning one year old, So help us celebrate-- The cake will be delicious, The festivities first-rate! There will be games and dancing, Bob for apples, cut-a-rug! And when the party's over we'll gather 'round for a group hug. No need to bring a gift, Being there will be enough... Birthdays mean having fun with friends, Not getting lots of stuff. It won't be the same without you, So we hope that you say "yes." So please, oh please, RSVP And come and be our guest!" "Wow Pumpkin. How do you know that song?" "Pinkie taught it to me before she died!" "Wow. Well thanks. I'll give this to Starshine as soon as possible. See ya." "Bye Spike!" Pumpkin then ran off towards her other friends houses: Apple bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and Butterfly. Running off towards Apple Blooms house she had run passed the statue but stopped and walked back. With a tear in her eye she had taken a rose out of her satchel and tied a nice yellow balloon to the hoof and looked up: "Thanks for teaching me everything Pinkie, If it wasn't for you I don't know what I'd do." Pumpkin then looked towards her friends house and started walking instead. In her mind she knew Pinkie was there for her always. Pumpkin then thought to herself: "This ones for you Pinkie" Pumpkin then started humming the parasprite polka song as she walked towards Apple blooms house in dedication for her sister. THE END
