"Care to join me?"

Twilight's thoughts battled each other as the seconds seemed to go agonizingly slow. She had never expected this outcome to her plans, and cursed herself for ever trying to negotiate with Nightmare. However, what was done was done, and there was no way she could fix them now. The only solution for this huge problem was to wing it: no future knowledge to help her get out of this sticky situation.

"Well?"

Twilight began to panic just a bit more at that expectant question.

WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO?!?! ..... Focus, Twilight! Panicking won't help you at all. Twilight looked over to her friends, who still looked nervously in hers and Nightmare's direction unseeingly. It won't help them, either. I'm so sorry, girls. I've doomed you to a shorter life, one shrouded in darkness. We'll never get to experience those happy moments with you, the ones where we cried, or even the ones where we fought with each other. You'll never fulfill your dreams, overcome your fears, your doubts, and never be happy... Twilight began to feel hot tears streak down her face. Today, I've only brought despair to your lives. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry... She could feel the tears dropping off of her face, landing on the shards of the broken stone.

Twilight never noticed the sparkle come off of five shards.

"Make a decision!"

There's no other option left. If I'm going to die sooner or later, She didn't finish the thought. She breathed in deeply, trying to calm herself. She wiped the tears off of her face, and then looked up into Nightmare's face. She uttered a single word.

"No."
