I'll Be Waiting

Entry #1:

Hey Twilight, it's me Spike. I did what you told me to do, and I'm recording the effects of that new spell you were working on. I can't remember what it was suppose to do exactly, but I assumed it was a teleportation spell, since you suddenly vanished like that. It must have been, a more advanced spell since it's been a day when you last performed that spell. I'm pretty confident that you won't be gone for too long, you always find a way. I'll keep recording these entries, and their effects in the meantime. I'll also keep writing these entries down every few days, until you come back. Hope to see you soon.

Entry #2:

We are now on day four, and still you're not home yet. Though I know you will come home soon, I had to tell your friends a little white lie about where you've been. Don't worry, I just told them that you went on a trip to Canterlot, to meet up with your family. I know you would scold me harshly for lying, but I had to. If I told them what really happened, then they jump to the conclusion that you be lost in time, or something over the top. Besides, you'll probably be back soon anyways, and you can explain what really happened. Anyway, there seems to be no noticeable effects from that "teleportation" spell. Except for a huge burn mark on the floor from where you were standing. I'll find some way to clean that up, eventually. Though I know you can handle yourself, but still be careful where ever you are.

Entry #3:

Sadly the inevitable has happened, I eventually had to tell the others what really happened. Although I didn't want to, you were gone for too long to keep hiding the truth. It's been exactly over a week since the incident, and the others were getting curious. So I ended up telling them, and they did what I knew what they were going to do. They started to freak out, even though I tried calming them down, they ran off before I could say anything.

Later that day, Celestia, and the royal guards came to the library, to ask me questions about what happened that day. I did just that, and I answered their questions. Though before they left, Celestia told me to let them know if you come back. She had a nervous look on her face, though I don't understand. You would think that she would have more faith in her "Most Faithful Student" Oh well. I guess even royalty can get worried sometimes. Anyway, still can't get that burn mark out of that darn floor. Hopefully this mess will get resolved soon, but I still believe you'll be back on your own. No matter what

Entry #4

This entry took longer than expected to write, due to the fact that our friends had me take part in a search party looking for you. After the search, (which lasted two weeks), I told them not to worry. They gave me weird looks when I told them this. Rarity was the first to respond to my attitude, "How can be so calm about this whole situation?" And to that I responded saying how I know you never actually leave your friends. That you would never fail at trying to see your friends again. But of course they acted like I was in denial or as if I was stupid. Which got me extremely offended.

I then let out my frustration towards the group. "Do you really think that Twilight isn't capable of fixing this problem? You're her friends for pony's sake! Have some faith in her!" I then turned around, prepared to walk away, until Rarity put her hoof on my shoulder, and spoke.

"It's not like that at all." She said in a soothing tone. "It's just that we're her friends, and we're just worried about her." I understood what she was getting at, this whole thing is getting every pony immensely stressed. Still, I removed her hoof off my shoulder, and walked off. Now finally I am able get this entry written down, after an unnecessarily long hiatus. Your friends may not understand how truly capable you are, but don't worry Twilight, I do. And I always will.

Entry #5

It has now been about three months since the last entry, but I have been just too busy trying to manage the library. The girls are still behaving a little bit frantic trying some way to find you. Although even with them preoccupied with trying to find you, out of all of them, Rarity seems more worried about me. She'd come by every other day to see if I'm okay, and I would always answer "Yes." Though she would try to talk about the whole incident, though I always change the subject when she did.She never seemed to want to press on the subject, and would usually leave after the subject changing.

As time seems to be moving on, there have been times where I've been skeptic about you ever coming back. That you might actually be gone for good, but I'm still hoping you'll be back at anytime. It's just that my skepticism is seemingly rising, by each day that you don't show up. Maybe you won't come back, and I might have to get over it. I just don't know what to think.

Entry # 6

I... I did something I'm not proud of, something that makes me feel absolutely sick. It all started this morning, exactly two weeks since the last entry. Rarity came over as usual, and once again asked me about the whole incident. Just like the other times, I tried to change the subject. Yet, this time she didn't give up, instead she kept bringing it up. I kept telling her that I didn't want to talk about it. She kept persisting though, not wanting to just let it go. Rarity wanted me to stop living in a world of denial, saying that it wasn't right to lie to myself. All she wanted to do was help me, and the only true way to do that was for her to bluntly state that Twilight wasn't coming back, that she was gone. Over the past two weeks, I was starting to think the same thing too, but I couldn't bring myself to admit that. Then hearing one of my own friends say it, makes it even harder to admit.

So, I did something irrational, I lost my temper with her. Since I wasn't strong enough to admit what she said to me was true, I took out all of my rage out on her. I accused her of not knowing who her own friend was, telling that "I hated her", and repeatedly telling her to "get out" All because I didn't have the strength to admit that she was right, and I was wrong.

The look in her eyes was completely heart-broken, and she didn't hesitate to open the door, and leave. What have I done, Rarity only wanted to help, and I lashed out at her for it. I'm a monster, not caring about any pony else, except for me. I deserve to be alone, I just wish I can take back those words, but I can't.

Entry #7

I had a dream about you last night, that you came back from out of nowhere. I would then run towards you, and just give you a big hug. It was truly perfect, only for Celestia's sun to wake me up from the dream. I'm not really sure why I'm still calling these entries, they've become more like letters. Letters that will never be sent out to you. I don't even really know why I'm still even writing these still, they have absolutely no purpose.

Remember that time when we were in King Sombra's castle, and that door got control of my worst fears? Which was you leaving me forever, and you told me that would never happen. That's solely the reason why I did not want to believe that you were really gone. You were a big sister to me, some pony who took care of since day one. I looked out for you, and you looked out for me. I just don't want accept the fact that someone who is the closest family I have is gone.

But I have to, whether I like it or not. I just hope you're safe where ever you are, and that we all miss you. Even if you don't come back until thirty years from now, I'll still be right here waiting for you.

Need to work in editing, but an effectively sad story, reminds me of that one episode of futurama to.

This a sad story...I love it!

MY GOD....What have you done to me?! Now i can't get over another thing...another super sad thing!
:fluttershysad::pinkiesad2::raritycry: but still, great story

Not a bad idea for a story. My only criticism is that we aren't really given an idea on what happened. "Messing up a spell" doesn't really say it and just leaves me a bit annoyed we aren't given the answer. I'm sure Celestia or such would figure it out and tell Spike, leading to Spike eventually writing down what it was.

Also for the idea you were going for, a few more entries, dragging it out just slightly longer might have been good.

YB

Nice. It could use a bit more of content, but I guess with the "journal entries" approach, you couldn't actually do much more.
It worked. Take an upvote. :twilightsmile:

Have a background music, somewhat related -- doesn't fit perfectly, but still good enough

Let there be a sequel:fluttercry::ajsleepy::raritydespair::pinkiesad2:

The feels! It makes me want to cry like a man.

the story was a good read. the rhythm and pacing was pretty even, though you would have to take into effect the periods between each posting. some people might complain about that, but it helps with the overall feel.

Hmph, well, that was certainly very sad, nicely paced and such... not much to say honestly, it was just genuinely sad.

I'm honestly surprised on how much positive feedback this story getting, thank you for the support.:twilightblush:

Please let there be a happy ending :pinkiesad2:

This has to have a sequel. We need to know what happens!

4557927 I'm leaving the story to have an open ending, so people can come up with their own ending. People have my permission to write their own ending for this story.

Ya know this should be in every fic that features about Twilight mess up a teleport spell and later came back as different person.

Which this fic allow us to do our own ending :trollestia: Like Twilight return as an Empress of Twilight :trollestia:

4560540 Intriguing idea, I'd read it!:twilightsmile:

If I wasn't already working on a couple different stories, I'd be tempted to write a sequel.
Who knows, maybe I will 10 years from now.

4558396 if one is good enough will you post a link to it?

4561234 Of course I will! :twilightsmile:

For a more sad effect, listen to "Take My True Love By The Hand" while reading the story.:fluttercry:

"Goodbye to everyone...."
BTW, TheWriter7, you're a great writer. I have yet to write a fanfic of my own.

4562173 I did exactly that, and it was surprisingly effective.:rainbowderp: Pretty awesome song too, thanks for the advice!

4563022 Don't mention it, man. I thought you might enjoy that! Thanks for the reply. Keep on writing! Meanwhile, I'll have to write a story of my own. Wish me luck!

From,
Heisenbrony
The One Who Trots

4563091 Whenever you do write one, let me know! I'm quite curious to read it, good luck!

4563107 I will! BTW, I followed you on fimfic. Ryder is an interesting character. I will let you know about MY character so I can get a second opinion. I call him Lightning Storm, and he's half alicorn, half dragon. What do you think?:scootangel:

4563134 Sounds like an interesting character choice, definitely want to see how it plays out.

4563171 Thanks for your second opinion. Now, to get to writing!:pinkiehappy:

Did this remind anybody else of the Futurama episode with Fry's dog waiting for him in the 20th Century? :applecry:

Hey, TheWriter7! I finished the first chapter of my first story! Go check it out!

4567525 The premise seems like a neat idea, but it could use some work with the pacing. Though it has a great deal of potential, I'm interested.

MAKE SEQUEL NOW please

I....am WOUNDED.

:raritydespair: Man down! Man fucking down!!:raritycry:

I came here from reading a clopfic. I was only reading it.
This story killed my arousal with feels.
Good.job.

4629786 I killed someone's arousal today... that's a first. :rainbowderp:

4629962 the twelfth doctor said man down.
Guess who else arousal you killed?

Am I aloud to advertise my reading of this on here?

4927366 Really good! I appreciate the fact that this story is getting so much support! Thank you so much for this!

Why is this under death ? I don't believe that twight is dead.

Always waiting, through anything, heaven and hell, he'll be waiting

wish there was second part where twilight comes in through the spell 1000 years later

Didn't really liked the story cuz of the ending...don't get me wrong...it was good and I'm sure you had good intentions but...it was kinda dark and deep. So Spike will be waiting forever? Where is twilight? What was the spell? Is Twilight dead? Are the Mane six gonna be dead before Twilight comes back?

Questions that will never be answered as you don't intend on making a sequel. You said that people are free to do a sequel on this story but it would still be incomplete as the original writer of the story didn't make the sequel...just like My Little Dashie...

:facehoof: :fluttershysad: :raritydespair:

I'm guessing that the spell really was some sort of teleportation spell, but something went wrong and she got disconnected from their dimension. Like, maybe now she isn't connected via the space and/or time dimensions and she's still "there", but she can't interact with anything and nobody can see/hear her.

If this is the case, then it's likely Spike will wait until he dies and the rest of the Mane 6 will die before she gets back, if she ever gets back at all. And if Twilight is an alicorn in this story (and I'm thinking she is) then she'll be stuck there until the end of the universe. Y'know, since she's immortal and all.

6880825 Knife's deep
Threats solid

Cut me deep
Suicide, is what you called it

Only he, and he alone...
Knows the pain, of her not being home

What's did is done
And what's done is did.

Will there be a sequel to this where Twilight comes back?
