Smile

Cheese Sandwich stared at the abandoned shell of a pony that used to be Pinkie Pie… She was so… beautiful. Even then, her mane was still perfect. Everything she stood for was perfect. She was an amazing friend, and seeing her so cold…so lifeless was depressing.

The funeral service had ended nearly an hour before that. The stallion, however, needed some private time to come to terms with the sudden death. Nothing could ever replace the beauty that was Pinkamena Diane Pie. Generations would pass, and there would still never be another pony like her. Nopony could ever be born with her natural determination and free spirit. Nopony could even be close to her light-spirited and gleeful attitude. She truly was the most amazing mare he’d ever met… She was his inspiration for everything he turned out to be in life… Nothing would be able to replace the gorgeous mare.

Slowly, two trickling tears fell down the stallion’s face, hugged his chin, and fell to the ground below. His trembling hooves reached out and help the mare’s upper body in his arms. She was cold, not warm and soft like he’d remembered. Still, she was still Pinkie, and that’s all that mattered. Slowly, he took the corpse into his embrace and sung a familiar tone at a much slower tempo than it had ever been sang.

“I really am so happy…

Your smile fills me with glee….”

The stallion chocked back on his own tears as he continued singing.

“I give a smile,

I get a smile…

And that’s so special to me….”

Cheese trembled as he heard the mare’s voice echo the song in his mind. Slowly, he set down the previously inhabited body. He rested her back against the coffin in the most comfortable position he could. Slowly, he sighed and felt tears in his eyes.

It was at that moment high winds picked up. Branches in the trees above swayed back and forth and rustled.

Looks like a storm’s coming… better get back home before I get caught in it…

Slowly, the stallion closed the casket and walked away. He fought against the wind as he tried to head in the direction of home. The whirling wind whipped through hid wild mane. It was then a white piece of paper hit the stallion in the face. He let out a grunt before removing it. Suddenly, the wind died. The stallion stared at the paper and silently read it to himself.

Dear Cheese Sandwich,

I know I told you to plan my funeral, and I know it was a lot of work. I know getting ponies to smile would be hard, and I didn’t expect you to get everypony to smile. I know Pumpkin’s still down in the gutters, but I’m sure she’ll get over it as time passes… I really hate seeing her sad like that…

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you tried hard to get my friend’s spirits up. I know it was hard to do without telling jokes or being your cute, goofy, self, but I’m sure you did everything you could to make things work out. Please carry on smiling, and never lose your hope. Please tell Dashie I forgive her for whatever she’s upset about. Tell my sister I’ll be looking over her. Tell Pound and Pumpkin that I still love them, even if I now have no way of showing it. Tell all of my friends to prosper and live their lives to the fullest.

Love,

Pinkie Pie

I could swear I've seen this... somewhere before. :rainbowderp: Did you post this before, then take it down for editing or something?

P.S.: It’s really hard to write when you’re disembodied.

How do you like that? Even death can't stop Pinkie Pie from defying the laws of reality. :pinkiesmile:

MY GOD, THE FEELS!!! THEY HURT SO MUCH!!!! :raritycry::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritycry::raritycry::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritycry::raritycry::raritydespair::raritydespair::raritycry:

4026438 Even manly men feel feels.

4026245 I mentioned it in a blog about future short story ideas a little over a week ago, but I was originally going to call it The Final Party

4026427 I didn't make her "immortal". I don't believe alicorns are immortal. I simply believe they age much, much slower than the majority of ponies.

Oh yeah! I voted on this story! :rainbowlaugh: That's why I love the premise so much.

Thanks for that. My memory isn't what it used to be. Us 22-year-old grandpas have trouble remembering what stories we voted on in blog posts. :raritywink:

4027595 It's okay. My memory's awful, too, and I'm only 15. Also, I'm increasingly confused on why this was added to like, a million groups. :rainbowhuh:
Thanks, and I hope I didn't disappoint you or poorly execute the premise you loved so much. :twilightsmile:

I'll probably let you know when I read it tomorrow. :raritywink: I also added it to another group, just for good measure.

I... W-when I read the thingy before story...
I-I thought he was going to plan a b-baby shower...
Not a.... A funeral...! :raritycry:
I'm left in tears, so i guess this is a really good fanfic... :fluttercry:

4026245 Another Pinkie Pie/Cheese Sandwich funeral fic? Or maybe it was Bittersweet? I think it's a sort of irresistible premise. I actually wrote a CheesePie funeral fic two weeks ago, but it's really different, and Pizzy absolutely couldn't have known, and there's always room for more.

Pizzy, I think anything Cheesy automatically goes to a gazillion Cheese Sandwich groups. A lot of us want to read them :)

Oh, no, the exact description he put here was a description I'd read somewhere else, and I couldn't put my finger (or hoof, as it were) on where. He mentioned that he'd said this in a blog post, and I realized that I'd even voted on it in the blog post, which is why I recognized it so strongly. :raritywink:

4029662 Oh, I see! Yes, I see the blog post, now that you mention it. I just thought somehow you might have read mine and forgotten about it, and wondered if it were that forgettable, but I suppose that was too egotistical. I am filled with shame. :fluttershysad:

Okay, I totally lost it at the end. :raritycry: This was so sad, but so beautiful at the same time. Thank you so much for writing and for the feels.

ok BEST ENDING EVAHHHHH:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::yay:

I've never cried so much over a story before and when cheese started to sing I balled my eyes out then sang along with him
Pinkie pie I love you but if u ever die again I will join by my own choice

I think I'm going to cry... :fluttercry: You've killed all my feelings with that story. I'm not going to hate it, only because you decided to make my favourite character dead. It was beautiful and well written but still sad and heartbreaking! Good job here anyway. Keep up the good work! :twilightsmile:

Am I allowed to hate you?? :raritycry: :raritydespair:

(I don't really hate you but oh my god :fluttercry: ))

Well done!! I hate/love it !? :heart::heart:
