//------------------------------// // Alone - YourBronyGod // Story: The Twinkie Group Collab! // by Drizzle Quill //------------------------------// Author: YourBronyGod Prompt: Alone They all said she would get over it. That is was something she could get past. Loneliness isn’t something like a phase. With the days that pass the pain feels worse. Twilight was alone. She felt as though there was nopony around her. Though there were the other princesses and the many overly fawning nobles, she still felt alone. Laughter is said to be the best medicine. To Twilight, it feels like a stab to the heart to hear it. The memories that are brought to the forefront make her wish for release. But, she knew that would make her sad, if not angry. Those were two things she never wanted to do to such a wonderful mare. So, she went on. Doing this and that. Doing anything that didn’t remind her of anything to do with that mare. Such a thing proved to be a heavy challenge. That mare could laugh at anything after all. Even in death Pinkie Pie was laughing, telling Twilight to smile. She said that this was her chance to tell all of her family just how amazing, a mare she had married. Twilight chuckled at the memory. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt. It felt good. It felt warm. It felt as though that mare she had loved so very many years ago was right with her. Twilight gave a tear filled smile to the gravestone in front of her. The first real smile she had worn in over two hundred years. She made a decision then and there. With tears in her eyes, she nuzzled the cold stone. “I love you. I’ll try to stop being all sad, alright?” With that, Twilight left. She may feel alone but she would make sure the world knew of the smiles that her love could bring. She would make the world smile the way that only that mad mare of hers could, even if she never would.
