In the Crystal Empire, lived an alicorn princess named Mi Amore Cadenza (Or Cadence as everypony calls her) and her husband Prince Shining Armor. They lived a good life and had a couple of foals. The first foal is a 13 year old colt named Brave Heart. Brave is a white alicorn with a blue and yellow mane with a blue shield with red heart as his cutie mark. He wants to be a royal guard, just like his dad. The second foal is a 10 year old filly named Crystal Clear. Crystal is a white unicorn with a blue and silver mane with a couple pieces of crystal shards as her cutie mark. All she likes to is read books and study magic (Like a certain pony we know ;)). The third foal is a 3 year old filly named Skyla. Skyla is a hot pink alicorn with pink wings that fade to purple like her mom's, a purple and yellow mane. She's kind of a daddy's girl. Cadence is in the hospital about to give birth to her fourth foal. She was in a lot of pain.
"It's ok honey", assured Shining Armor "You've done this three times you can do it a fourth"
"SHUT UP SHINING", yelled Cadence
Suddenly a doctor came in and performed a pain relief spell on her. Cadence started to calm down.
"Your highness Im afraid we have some good news and bad news", explained the doctor
"Whats the bad news?", asked Cadence
"The bad news is…your in critical condition. And the foal might not be able to make it"
Cadence and Shining gasped.
"What's the good news?", asked Cadence
"The good news is...I might be able to save it", replied the doctor
Cadence had a relieved smile on her face.
"But it involves you giving up your life", added the doctor
"You mean I'll…die?", asked Cadence
"Indeed"
"Will I at least have time to say goodbye?"
"After you give birth, you'll only have an hour left to live"
Cadence thought about it for a moment.
"I'll do it", said Cadence
"What?", asked Shining
"I'll do it", replied Cadence
"I'll give you two some time to talk about it", said the doctor walking out the door
"Cady, why would you do this?", asked Shining
"Well, I can't let this little bundle of joy die after carrying it around for nine months", explained Cadence
"But I'll miss you"
"I know, but when Im up in Paradise...I will always think off you"
"Ok...If thats what you want"
The doctor walked back into the room.
"So…have you two thought of a decision?", asked the doctor
"Yes, I'll sacrifice myself for the foal", said Cadence
After a couple hours of labor, Cadence has given birth to her foal.
"It's a filly", said the doctor handing her the foal
The foal was light pink with wings that fade to purple like her mom's. Her mane was hot pink with a blue streak in it. Then, Cadence's foals came in.
"So what's the foal?", asked Brave Heart
"It's a filly", announced Shining
"What's her name?", asked Crystal Clear
"We haven't thought of a name", said Cadence "But I kinda like…Stella Nova"
"That's a great name", replied Shining
A nurse came in and took Stella Nova to the nursery.
"Kids, Im afraid I have something to tell you" said Cadence "I only have an hour left to live"
"What?", asked Brave
"It's true", said Shining
"MOM YOU CAN'T DIE", cried Crystal hugging Cadence "YOUR THE ONLY PONY I CAN GO TO FOR HELP"
"Im sorry Crystal", replied Cadence stroking her mane
"But your an alicorn", said Crystal "Alicorns are supposed to be immortal"
"They can still die from disease or critical injuries", explained Cadence "But at least you have your father"
"sure", said Crystal silently
Skyla climbed up on the bed.
"Does mommy have to go?", asked Skyla
"Yes sweetie", replied Cadence hugging her "Mommy, has to go"
"Mom, I promise that when I become a Royal Guard, I'll dedicate all my battles to you", said Brave
"Oh Brave, you make me so proud", replied Cadence hugging him
The nurse brought Stella back in.
"Would you kids mind stepping outside for a minute?", asked Shining
"Sure Dad", said Brave
The three young ponies walked out of the room.
"Well this is it", said Shining
"Yup", replied Cadence
"Wait Cadence there's something I have to tell you"
"What?"
"Remember when we were little and your diary was missing from your bag, and I told you Twilight took it?"
"Yeah"
"That was actually me"
"YOU TOOK MY DIARY?!"
"We were 13, let it go"
"Your right, I love you my Knight In Shining Armor"
"I love you too Mi Amoré Cadenza"
They shared a kiss. Cadence closed her eyes and stopped breathing.
"Cadence?…CADENCE?!", yelled Shining "NOOOOOOOOOO"
Stella woke up and started crying. Shining walked up to her and picked her up.
"It's ok Stella, Daddy's here", said Shining rocking her back and forth "And I promise to take good care of you"
"I promise"
Omg, is it okay to cry? Poor Cadence. If they never did the frickle frackle she would still be alive. Nice cover art btw. I'm waiting for more...
Well...that happened.

4533725 I would normally say something witty, or make a bad reference, but I'm too lazy.
4533739 When I revisit this stupendous story, I see you have replied to more comments on the story than the actual author.
Why?
4533768 Because I can. Also, I think the author is mad at me now.
4533739 Lazyness has consumed us all.
