	"Mommy!" I yelled as I lunged forward. Her sparkles floated out the window and into the vast space outside. I cried in her room until the guards came in. The comforted me and escorted me back to my room. I cried myself to sleep, and dreamed about being alone.
The following week, thousands of ponies gathered in the plaza outside the castle. I stepped out onto the balcony and the crowd fell silent. "One Week ago, my mother Princess Twilight Sparkle, passed away. She was a great mother, wife and ruler. She was always kind, making sure others were happy before she was. Nopony was a good a pony as her. She has touched the lives of us all, and will be missed. As of today, I shall be the new ruler of Equestria, and will follow Princess Twilight's example." I went back into the castle, tears streaming down my face.



I opened my eyes and stared out into the nothingness. I looked left and right, and all I saw was black. I was about to start walking forward when I heard a familiar voice call out behind me, "Twilight!" I turned around to see all my friends and family standing there.
I ran over to them and grabbed Princess Celestia in a big hug. I let her go and said, "Guys! oh my gosh I've missed you so much!"
"We missed you too Twilight," Rainbow Dash said. We all gathered into a group hug, knowing we'd never be separated again.
"So, looks like we've got a lot of catching up to do," rarity said.
"Yes we do." everyone sat around me as I told my story.
