All it would take is one last sacrifice.

On the eve of Twilight Sparkles wedding, Princess Celestia has some things to get off her chest. So she pens one last letter to her faithful student.

On the one year anniversary of Luna's banishment, Celestia has an honest and open talk with her sister about what went wrong, how it happened, and what she's going to do to fix it.

And hopefully Luna can hear, because Celestia's question will reveal just how much she loves her sister.

Twilight finds a book written by Celestia hidden in her castle, and plans to publish it. But as she tries to unravel its mysteries, she wonders who it was written for, and why.

Late one evening, a troubled Pinkie Pie is forced to think about the situation in which she finds herself. Yet, after weeks of tiredness, nausea and other strange feelings, it takes a pony she knows all too well to finally make her realise what she's done. Only then can she face the fact that her life is about to change forever, and she's far from the only one who will suffer for it.

I never stopped thinking about you. Not once. Every day, I remembered your voice, your smile, your eyes. And every time it hurt worse than I could have ever imagined. And each day was worse than the last. I love you. More than anything in Equestria. More than flying, more than the Wonderbolts, more than my wings, I love you, Twilight. Goodbye.

Happy Hearts and Hooves day?
