"Twilight..... She can't be." Rarity said, trailing off.
"She- she is SugarCube." Applejack said, chocking up her words, tears starting to form from her eyes.
"No.... No.... It's all some sort of sick prank that you're pulling on me isn't it?" Spike said, backing away from Applejack.
"No Spike, it's true. Besides, would I lie to you about this?" Applejack said. Spike backed away slowly, his eyes widening in shock.
"It... C-c-can't be.....!" Spike wailed, tears flowing from his eyes. He then ran inside and slammed the door, much to the concern of the others.
"Somepony needs to go calm him down. There's much more danger if his rage gets out of hand." Rainbow Dash said.
"I'll go. I'm the best with at talking with animals, maybe I can reason with Spike." Fluttershy said.
"All right SugerCube. We'll be out here just incase things go south." Applejack said. Fluttershy opened the door, only to find no Spike. She searched the house, Turing over tables and checking drawers, when she heard a scream from the second floor. She rushed up the stairs, tripping once, and rammed through the door.
"Spike! Where are you?" Fluttershy said hurriedly. She darted from corner to corner in the room, running out of breath. She then turned over to the closet, and slowly opened the door, and flew back in horror. Opening the window, Fluttershy called over the others. "Girls, come quick! It's Spike!" The others came over as fast as they could, often tripping over each other. When they got to the room, they all looked over at the closet in shock.
"Wha-what......" Pinkie said, frozen in pure shock.
"Spike no...." Rarity said, fainting. Rainbow Dash and Applejack saved her before she hit the ground and laid her on Spike's bed. Fluttershy ran out of the room crying.
"AJ, you take care of Rarity, and I'll go find Fluttershy. Pinkie, try to help console Rarity with AJ." Rainbow Dash said, running out chasing after Fluttershy.
"Please Celestia! Come here, help us revive Spike!" Fluttershy yelled to the sky, with Rainbow close behind.
"Get a hold of yourself! Not even Celestia can bring back Spike, nor Twilight. They're gone- Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said, rushing over to her, and giving her a comforting hug.
"I-it's fine Rainbow. You just got caught up in the moment, that's all. I guess it was too much for Spike to handle." Fluttershy said. "Maybe we shouldn't have broke the news to Spike."
"What are you insane? Prevent him from learning knowledge that he would end up knowing any way, most likely from Celestia." Rainbow said, stomping her hoof down.
"But that still doesn't excuse the fact that he killed himself! And it's all our fault too!" Fluttershy said, beginning to cry.
"Aw Fluttershy, don't cry now. It's not our fault that Spike did that to himself, it's his own fault. We did nothing wrong!" Rainbow said, getting into Fluttershy's face.
"Rainbow, don't you have any empathy!?" Fluttershy screamed at her. "His mother figure, his best friend, had just died. How would you like it if one of your Wonderbolt friends were to die in a horrible accident, or even suicide? You would be feeling differently than you are now!" Fluttershy said, defending herself and getting in Rainbow's face.
"That doesn't even address the current situation! You're emotions are getting the best of you Fluttershy! You need to- oh my gosh. I really didn't mean to-". Rainbow said, before seeing Fluttershy in tears.
"You don't know what he's been through! Don't judge someone unless you've walked a mile in their hoofs! Isn't that what Twilight has always told us?!" Fluttershy said, tears flowing down her cheeks like a waterfall.
"Yes, it was. Though in this case, Spike did this to himself, and we've all walked a mile in his feet with the loss of our best friend and leader!" Rainbow Dash yelled, sending Fluttershy into fits of hysteria.
"You can't say that! How would Twilight feel about this!?" Fluttershy said, making Rainbow Dash speechless. She realized that what she was saying to Fluttershy was contradicting to what Twilight had been teaching not only them, but everypony in Equestria.
"I didn't mean to sound like I did Fluttershy, but I do stand by my decision. Though I'll put this aside for now, if only to see how Rarity is doing." Rainbow Dash said.
"Let's agree to never speak of this again for the sake of our friendship. Now let's go see how Rarity's doing." Fluttershy said, with Rainbow nodding in agreement.
"Oh come on, wake up Rarity!" Pinkie said, bouncing from side to side.
"You need to calm down Pinkie. She needs to take time to recover." Applejack said, calming her down.
"I know, but I'm so worried about her! We need to council her right away!" Pinkie said, still pacing around the room.
"Hey guys has Rarity came to yet?" Rainbow Dash asked, as her and Fluttershy entered the room.
"Not yet. She still got a lot of recoverin to do after herself fainting from shock." Applejack said.
"Can't we just throw water on her or something! Oh, I really want to see her well again!" Pinkie said.
"It's not that easy Pinkie. Throwing water on her could put her into more shock, as it lowers the body temperature, or something like that which Twilight told me." Rainbow Dash said.
"Alright. I guess I can wa- wait! Guys, she's coming to!" Pinkie said, gleefully. The others quickly gathered around the bed to see Rarity wake.
"Guys... This has not been the best day." Rarity said, rousing from her sleep.
"No kiddin SugerCube. We've had one hell of a day." Applejack said.
"Hey guys, come check this out! I think we can finally know why Spike did what he just did." Rainbow Dash said, picking up the two pieces of parchment.
[Spike's Letter] If anyone, specifically Twilights friends find this, I want to let them know why I decided to do this. I wanted to be with Twilight, my mother figure again. All through my life Twilight had been through my side, and I never once dared to imagine what life would be without her. She had been my mother, my guardian. I can't live in the world alone, knowing what my fate will be when I grow up into an adult dragon without her controlling me. So, I leave this letter, and a letter from Princess Celestia detailing Twilights funeral, which all of you have major roles in, as her best friends. So good by world, I can't wait to be with my mother soon.
-Spike Sparkle.
"Guys... It looks like we have to go to Canterlot right now." Rainbow Dash said, with the others nodding in agreement. As Rainbow Dash exited the library, she made a silent blessing to Twilight.
'By Celestia Twilight, I will carry on your legacy as I become the new leader of the Elements of Harmony, and I will find the murderer and bring him accountable to his crimes, even if that means death.'
