Chapter 49 (Magical Mystery Cure)
The next Summer Sun Celebration was around the corner. That could only mean one thing: the Twilicorn was approaching us.
While I didn’t want to prevent it, I was still up in the air about what I should change. I didn’t want to throw Celestia’s plans out the window, but I didn’t want to have the girls suffer through their switched cutie marks. I had to think of something.
One evening, as the sun was setting, I was preparing to take a bath. That’s when I noticed Twilight receiving a package.
“What is it, Twilight?” I asked. I kept an eye on the display case that contained the Elements of Harmony. I didn’t know why she decided to choose now of all days to display it.
“It’s a package from Princess Celestia!” Twilight explained. She opened the package to reveal a book and a letter.
“Dear Twilight Sparkle,
The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece. He was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it.
Princess Celestia”
Oh, no! I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would come so soon!
Twilight pulled out the book and flipped through the last page.
“‘From one to another, another to one,’” Twilight read. “‘A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.’ That doesn’t even rhyme. Oh, well. Might as well...”
“TWILIGHT! NO!!”
Using both hands, I grabbed Twilight’s horn as hard as I could! The magic aura made an audible zap as it was canceled out by my scaly palms. I quickly released them as they tingled. It felt like I tried to grip an electric fence.
“Ah-ha-ha-ha-haow!!” I shouted in pain. “That hurt like Tartarus!”
“Spike, why did you do that?!” Twilight barked. “You know better than to grab a unicorn’s horn while they’re casting magic!”
I looked at the elements and noticed they retained their original color. Part of me was relieved.
“You should know better than to cast a spell you never heard of or even know what it does,” I said as I kissed my palms. “I didn’t want you to end up ruining everything. What if it was a destruction spell? What if it does something drastic, like...ruin the Elements of Harmony for example?”
Twilight looked at the display case behind her.
“I know Celestia casted a spell to make sure Discord doesn't take them away, but she didn’t say anything about a spell preventing certain modifications.” I shook my hands.
“Do you really think the spell can do something like that?” Twilight asked.
“It's a spell from a book given by the princess herself. There’s no telling what it might do. If you’re still thinking about casting it, then maybe you should bring the girls in here first. That way, if anything goes wrong, the girls will be around to help you.”
“It’s late right now, Spike. We’ll just have to do it tomorrow. Say, shouldn’t you be taking a bath right now?”
“Oh, right! Thanks, Twilight.”
I quickly went to take my bath. As I washed up, I wondered how I could get Twilight to finish the spell. I stopped her spellcasting, but that would only go so far. I didn’t want Celestia to get suspicious, though I think I may have already done so given my actions.
The next morning, Twilight and I woke up a bit earlier than usual. After doing our morning activities, we headed out to find the other girls.
“Maybe the spell didn’t rhyme because it was unfinished,” Twilight said. “So maybe we need to figure out something that rhymes in order to complete it.”
“‘Something, something, fulfilled…’” I said. “‘Such an accomplishment leaves other ponies thrilled’?”
“I don’t think it’s that.”
That’s when Twilight and I spotted Rarity on the bridge staring at the sky. I gulped as we approached her.
“Hey, Rarity,” Twilight called out.
“Oh, hello darlings,” Rarity said.
I looked at her cutie mark and discovered that my casting-prevention method worked. Her cutie mark remained on her flank, just like it was supposed to. I sighed with relief.
“Please do not stare, Spikey,” Rarity said as she covered her flank with her tail. “It’s rude to gaze at a lady’s posterior. You do realize that the gems on my cutie mark aren’t real, don’t you?”
“S-sorry.” I blinked. “I just really admire the design of your cutie mark. That’s all.”
“Well, I do appreciate the compliment, but the design wasn’t my idea. It just happened to be like that when I got it.”
“Anyway, I was hoping you weren’t too busy with anything,” Twilight said. “I need help with a spell, and I want all the girls to come to the library.”
“I would be delighted to come, but why do you need us? We aren’t as talented with magic as you are.”
“Well, the spell is a bit...unfinished, and I want you to be by my side in case something goes awry.”
“I suppose you can count me in, darling.”
“Great! Now we just need to find the others. We’ll head to Fluttershy’s cottage next.”
Twilight trotted over to Fluttershy’s place with Rarity and me following close behind.
“You know, I’ve been thinking,” Rarity said. “The Summer Sun Celebration is coming soon, which means that it has been almost a whole year since we’ve been together.”
“That’s true,” Twilight said. “I can’t believe it.”
“We’ve come such a long way. I’ve been speculating what would’ve happened if we never became such close friends.”
“Well, I hope you’d like the idea of designing dark clothing,” I said. “That and Equestria having a sudden change in leadership.”
“I wouldn’t actually recommend wearing dark colors at night, eternal or not,” Rarity said. “Perhaps I could’ve attempted to bring neon colors back.”
The three of us arrived at Fluttershy’s cottage. Once we entered, we found Fluttershy feeding her animals. Just like Rarity, Fluttershy still had her original cutie mark.
“Oh, hey girls and Spike,” Fluttershy greeted. “I was just finishing feeding my animals. Did you need me for something?”
“We were wondering if you could come with us to the library,” Twilight said. “I’ve been working on a new spell, and I would like it if the rest of the girls could come and watch.”
“A new spell? I guess I can join you if everypony else is doing the same.”
After Fluttershy joined, Twilight decided we should head to Sugarcube Corner next.
“You know,” Fluttershy said, “I can’t help but think how far we’ve come since we’ve met. What we’ve done since we’ve been together.”
“I was just thinking the same thing, darling,” Rarity said. “Just think about all the accomplishments that we’ve achieved. Like beating Nightmare Moon, Discord, Sombra...”
“Let’s not forget the other activities, like the Gala and the wedding,” I added.
“That too.”
Once we arrived at Sugarcube Corner, Twilight asked Pinkie if she could join the girls and me. She accepted before Twilight could even finish her question. Next was finding Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres.
“So what’s this spell about, Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Does it make it rain cupcakes? Does it change your species? Does it make musical scenes happen more often?”
“That’s the thing. I don’t know what it does,” Twilight said. “The spell’s description went like this: ‘From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.’ I wanted to cast the spell to see what it did, but Spike stopped me.”
“Spike did have the right idea, darling,” Rarity said. “There’s no telling what the spell might do, and casting an incomplete spell isn’t what I call an intelligent idea.”
“The princess did say that Star Swirl abandoned it, so it never got finished. I was thinking maybe it was missing the other line or something.”
“Ooh! Ooh! How about this?” Pinkie asked. “‘If you attend Sugarcube Corner, you’ll have your mouths and tummies filled’?”
“I don’t think so. I doubt Sugarcube Corner was around during Star Swirl’s time.”
“Plus, it sounds more like an advertisement than a spell,” Rarity said.
By the time we got to Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack had just finished her chores. Twilight invited Applejack to join us, and the farm pony accepted.
“Now, the last pony we need to find is Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said. “Anypony know where she could be?”
“Probably up in the sky somewhere,” Applejack replied.
“Maybe she’s at her house!” Pinkie declared. “Let’s go!”
The entire group walked on over to Rainbow’s house. I couldn’t help but notice that Applejack was lost in thought.
“Is something wrong, Applejack?” I asked.
“I can’t believe the Summer Sun Celebration’s comin’ up,” Applejack replied. “Seemed like only yesterday that we just became friends.”
“Well, time flies when you’re having fun, especially with your friends.”
When we arrived at Dash’s house, Pinkie pulled out a megaphone.
“Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie shouted. “Are you in there?! Come on out!”
After a few minutes, Rainbow came flying out of her house.
“What’s going on?” Rainbow asked. “This isn’t another ‘you’re too prideful’ intervention, is it?”
Twilight chuckled. “No, we’re just gathering all the girls so I can figure out this spell I got from the princess.”
“If you’re all joining her, then count me in as well!”
Once we had everypony, we returned to the library. The elements still remained in the display case.
“To think these six elements are what brought us all together,” Rarity said.
“And how,” Applejack said.
“Now, we’re a force to be reckoned with!” Dashie said.
“With all of us together as friends, there’s nothing we can’t face!” Pinkie shouted.
“No matter our goals, we’ll always be together,” Fluttershy said.
“Because friendship is always magic!” I concluded.
“Wait, that’s it! I know how to fix the spell!” Twilight quickly grabbed the book and a quill. “‘From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!’ There!”
“Wonderful job, Twilight,” Rarity said. “I really do hope that Princess Celestia—wait, what is that clinking sound?”
I turned to the display case to see the Elements of Harmony banging on the other side of the glass.
“It’s the elements!” I said.
“Ooh! You just made them sediment!” Pinkie said. “Sentiment...cinnamon...uh...”
“Sentient, Pinkie,” Twilight corrected. “And I haven't cast the spell yet. Try to open up the case and see what they do.”
“I hope they don’t attack us,” Applejack said.
I slowly lifted the glass. The elements shot out and attached themselves to their respective pony.
“Well, that’s different,” Twilight said. “Had I known the spell did that, we could’ve—”
Suddenly, Twilight’s Element of Magic created an orb of white light that surrounded the lavender unicorn. The girl's elements then shot beams of magic right at the orb. Confused shouts filled the room. This wasn’t the first time I witnessed this, though. A blinding white light filled the entire room. I covered my eyes as the entire library was engulfed in the sheer brightness. A loud poof echoed as the light subsided.
“What happened?” I asked.
We looked around the room. That’s when we discovered one pony was missing. Twilight wasn’t with us. Instead, there was a burn mark in the shape of her cutie mark resting where she stood. The girls were shocked.
“What did you guys do?!” Pinkie shouted.
“Darling, this was involuntary!” Rarity cried. “We weren’t responsible for this!”
“I was talking to the elements.”
“That spell must’ve done something,” Rainbow said.
“But she didn’t even cast it,” I responded.
“We need to contact the princess! Hurry!” Fluttershy yelled.
“I’ll work on that! The rest of you try to find her. Maybe it teleported her somewhere in Ponyville.”
The girls removed their elements and put them back in the display case.
“We gotta find her!” Applejack said. “There’s no way the elements could’ve harmed her.”
As the rest of the Mane 6 ran out of the library, I sat down and thought about what I should do for the upcoming events. I knew Equestria Girls was canon thanks to Sunset’s cameo in the series finale. I needed to find a way for Twilight and I to get the crown back and also reform Sunset, all while being a dog. Season four had all that Rainbow Power stuff, so I’d rather not interfere with the episodes where the girls get their keys. There was also the Equestria Games. I figured I should practice singing all the anthems so I wouldn’t embarrass myself in front of millions. Tirek was going to be a problem. I had the idea of having Fluttershy tag along with Discord, but if that idea didn’t work, then I would have to find some way to prevent Tirek from destroying the library.
I remembered I had to find Starlight’s town before she would try to steal all the ponies’ cutie marks. But I knew I couldn’t leave Ponyville just for that. I needed to find some other locations I could visit. I don’t know if Mount Aris has already been attacked by the Storm King’s forces, but it was really out of the way. Griffonstone had seen better days, so I thought maybe I could try to retrieve that idol from the canyon with the help of some other familiar griffons. I couldn’t think of anything I could change regarding Yakyakistan or the Dragon Lands, though for the latter it would be nice to see Garble and Smolder again. There was also the changeling kingdom, but I didn’t want to take chances in case nothing changed there.
If I do go on this journey, however, I had to convince Twilight that I needed to do this myself. Which meant she and her other friends should not follow me with an unconvincing disguise. I would also need to make sure that I would be back before any major events occur. If I go before Tirek attacks, I would need Twilight to message me when he arrives.
By the time night fell, I heard the front door slamming open once again. The girls were out of breath.
“Did you girls have any luck?” I asked.
“Not a bit,” Applejack replied as she waved herself with her hat. “We’ve searched high and low fer Twilight, but we can’t find her anywhere!”
“This is bad! Really bad!” Rainbow shouted. “Twilight has to be somewhere!”
“Any reports from the princess yet?” Rarity asked.
“None yet,” I lied. I never actually sent one because I knew what happened.
“What’s taking her so long?!” Pinkie shouted. “You’d think the disappearance of her favorite student would shock Princess Celestia!”
“Girls, I don’t think this is a good time to panic...”
“It’s the perfect time to panic, Spike!” Fluttershy cried. “Our best friend disappeared in a flash of light, all because she rewrote a spell! What if the other ponies assume we…?”
“We didn’t,” I said as I placed my hands on her shoulders. “The elements may turn creatures to stone and reduce their power, but they would never do something as morbid as that. Even to their own wielder, no less. I think the best course of action is to wait until Celestia responds and see where to go from there. I’m sure Twilight is alive and well somewhere.”
After the girls calmed down, we left the library.
“I sure hope yer right about Twilight bein’ okay,” said Applejack. “I can’t stand losin’ such a close friend.”
“None of us can,” I said.
Pinkie gasped. “Look! A shooting star!”
We looked up at the sky to see a light moving in the sky.
“Everypony! Wish for Twilight to come back!” Pinkie commanded.
We closed our eyes and made our wish. When we opened them, we noticed the light slowly descending to the center of town. Twilight’s cutie mark appeared from the glowing comet.
“It must be her!” Rainbow shouted. “Let’s go.”
We rushed to the center of town just to see the big ball of light touched down on the ground. What appeared from the orb was…
“Twilight?” Applejack asked. “Is that you?”
Twilight slowly stood up. What appeared on her sides was a pair of wings, a.k.a. 2013’s fandom divider.
“Woah! Who asked for Twilight with extra wings?” I asked.
“I-I've never seen anything like it!” Applejack exclaimed.
“Awesome! A new flying buddy!” Rainbow Dash declared.
“Why, you've become an alicorn,” Rarity said. “I didn't even know that was possible.”
“Alicorn party!” Pinkie cheered with her fake wings and horn.
“You look just like a princess!” Fluttershy said.
“That's because she is a princess,” Celestia said as she flew in.
The girls were surprised to hear that. I pretended to be the same. Pinkie even took out a glass of water to do a spit take.
Celestia continued, “Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess.”
“But...does this mean I won't be your student anymore?” Twilight asked.
“Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight.”
“So...is she immortal?” I asked.
Celestia chuckled. “While Twilight is an alicorn, she is not the same type of alicorn as Luna or me. I can assure you, Twilight will not outlive her friends.”
Tell that to my brony and former-brony friends.
“But...what do I do now?” Twilight asked. “Is there a book about being a princess I should read?”
“There will be time for all of that later,” Celestia replied.
The rest of the events played out like in the show. A big coronation was held for Twilight. Twilight gave a speech thanking all her friends and family. Everypony cheered for her. Shining Armor even showed some of his “liquid pride,” which was just him crying.
I was thankful I prevented the girls’ cutie marks from switching around, and finding another way for Twilight to get wings. I also learned that she wasn’t considered immortal, though it kind of raised a question about why Celestia and Luna allowed her to rule Equestria during the finale, and why Twilight looked like them in the final episode.

intriguing chapter, hope to see another quality chapter sometime in the future
Clever idea and a nice way to turn it all around so the girls don't have the whole cutie mark switcheroo.
I'm done, bye.
Can you please make sure those events don't happen at all? Please? ^^;
The normal response to seeing five beams of light hitting a pony, then said pony disappearing, leaving nothing but a burn mark on the floor, is to start organising a funeral.
She's dead. Disintegrated, obliterated, atomised; expired. Hopefully that doesn't traumatise you girls!
great chapter!
Equestria girls here we go!!!!!!!
That's three of "Spike's" "predictions". Let's see how much he can handle the other dimension. I wonder what would happen if David met Spike the Dog when Twilight goes back to that world, after the Friendship Games. I'd like to see that reaction.
Welll , Celestia probably lied to her so she wouldn't resign the position as a princess,and future replacement to dump all responsibilities onto them
And when Twilight finally learns the truth, it's too late, she is stuck
Twilight’s reign will be like Celestia and Luna’s vacation. Once she’s gone, they go back to work. This is why Celestia has been teaching Twilight, a way for both of her sister to get a vacation 🙃🙃🙃
Jk
For that journey thing... Maybe have Spike ask to visit Smolder & Garble to learn more about dragon culture. An excuse for why he’s going so soon after Twilight became an alicorn can be that he saw some dragons around his age without wings. (Honestly, Season 4 is filled with a few Spike Moments that you could have David Journey a bit frequently for the episodes where Spike is really on the bench.) We’ve seen Cadance cast a spell eerily familiar to the way he sends things in the Beginning of the End.
He could have a reason be he also wants to be a bit more active. Like how they were called on to solve problems and such, he could always send letters back to Twilight through the Dragon Fire Mail. You’ll have to be creative with how he interacts in the Equestria Girls world though... Maybe he can advise Twilight on how to use her hands better given they are mostly similar to his claws?
Anything is better than nothing I suppose in this story. Nice chapter by the way, decently paced for the Season 3 finale. One thing I recommend doing for the EQG movie is to have David/Spike point out that Twilight’s already done so much for Equestria. When she’s worried that Princess Celestia might put her in charge of a kingdom, I mean. Bring up the fact Alicorn Wings have to be earned and she proved herself worthy already. She’ll have time to grow into the title of Princess or something along those lines. Twilight got it into her head that being a Princess meant she had to act as an example twenty-four seven.
For example, being the Princess of Friendship meant that she couldn’t/doesn’t feel jealousy when she finds out Discord became closer to her friends over that Book-Sort-Cation thing. The best quality overall about Spike is that he grew up to be Twilight’s voice of reason when she got turned around. His actions will have consequences in the future though... as the saying goes, “No good deed goes unpunished.” I feel as long as David makes an effort to help the girls still learn the lessons they are supposed to that things will work out. As for Tirek, maybe have him remember that it took Twilight’s magic for him/Spike to hatch and how despite becoming an Adult in body during her magic surge that his ‘Greed-zilla form’ ended up looking completely different. Maybe he can learn from Garble and Smolder about a way to control a dragon’s greed.
The fanfic, Drake’s Empire, has the concept of Need and Greed. Where a dragon’s body can adapt to what they need and their greed can be controlled by practicing with the form. Another idea could be the fact Greed-Induced-Bigness is a natural instinct dragons have. They must still need it... Maybe a dragon can grow to a larger size when they need to protect what’s precious to them. Obviously, they don’t need to be the size Spike became all the time, but maybe they can grow to the Adult Stage or Teenager.
Reading this, I noticed a connection.
Charity = Generosity
Compassion = Kindness
Devotion = Loyalty
Integrity = Honesty
Optimism = Laughter
Leadership = Friendship and glue
10672547
Why?
Well thats useless.
...sure she is not immortal. Like at the end of ninth season... all girls looked much older and tired while Twilight was taller...much more fresh. Like some overgrown teenager. Well... his story his rules... but I call bullshit ;) Or Celestia is sprouting bullshit coz Spike touched that subject too early.
Did Celestia just lie here?!
God I wish it was Celestia that disintegrated.
10672773
Celestia: You see, once the last of Twilight's friends pass on, Luna and I will do a secret magic ritual to make sure Twilight will not outlive her friends.
Pinkie Pie: .... You're going to stab her?
Celestia: And eat her corpse.
This chapter was a rather weak one. Everything seemed to go a bit too smoothly. Twilight solved a riddle here instead of a problem. She didn't grow, learn, or accomplish anything. It doesn't feel like she earned those wings.
Hmmm, did you use the "she won't outlive her friends" line because that's what the creators confirmed for us back in the day?
Welp, Celestia lied to basically not freak Twilight out. But if what she says is true. Well...Spike will still outlive them all. That should be something Spike should think about in the future.
Here's a idea for Sunset Shimmer.
Spike replace Twilight's crown with ANOTHER fake crown (Mirror pool, maybe?). So sunset just takes a fake for a fake.
Don’t forget to stop the human CMCs from posing as Anon-a-Miss! Oh! The headache!
This line right here saved this chapter, and possibly this story, for me. Being turned into an alicorn and a princess without prior informed consent has the potential to fill a pony with regret, and being turned into an immortal on top of that has the potential to make that regret last for all time. At least this way, even if Twilight does end up resenting Celestia for this, or completely overburdened by her royal workload, she'll have her friends to comfort her right up until the very end. IF Celestia is telling the truth.
10672638
Well, she can eventually try to institute a representative democracy if she wants to step down. It doesn't tend to work out very well in the long run, but what are you gonna do? Micromanage an entire kingdom by yourself for eternity? You'd have to be insane to try to do that for even one millennium!
Maybe she STARTED OUT not being immortal but once she got Celestia and Luna’s powers she became immortal
Then why did you put her in charge and then retire?' Equestria is a parlament confirmed.
I can't help but to think how much the girls are laying it on thick about their friendship and how it would help Twilight fixing the spell. They don't even know what it was supposed to do in the first place. The choice has been taken away from Twilight because we all know that fool would have cast it without thinking first.
10674021 She didn't say 'Twilight is not immortal.' or directly answer the question. Instead she said, 'Twilight will not outlive her friends.' To me that suggests not that Twilight is mortal, but that the Element bearers are immortal. But she also says that Twilight is not the same sort of alicorn they are.
We know, from the 'Book of the Two Sisters' that Celestia and Luna were brought up by other alicorns. Now in 'The Crystaling' we hear them say that there's never been an alicorn born before, so the two sisters must have been born regular ponies and ascended at an early age, because they were already alicorns when they went to rule the three tribes, and before they got their cutie marks.
My guess is that if they were the children of alicorn parents, that they are born regular pony but ascended at an early age as a normal part of their development, much like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
The alternative route to alicornhood is Twilight and Cadence's method, ponies born of regular ponies, the stress test we're familiar with. Becoming an exemplar of your cutie mark talent and having a chunk of magical rock attuned to harmony magic power the ascension, supplying the boost that having alicorn blood does for 'natural' alicorns.
Finally we have Flurry Heart, the outlier. Cadence was the focus of the joy of the entire Cyrstal Empire, focussed through the Crystal Heart. Plus she's an alicorn, so Flurry Heart is half-alicorn descended. The biigger power supply and the half charge from Cadence boosted her to ascend in the womb. She needed the energy boost, but her half-alicorn DNA meant she had the path carved for her rather than having to carve it from scratch through using her talent.
This is all just theorycrafting, but it hangs together. When Celestia says Twilight is different, she just means that she and Luna are natural alicorns, whereas Twilight is a triggered alicorn.
I think season 3 finale-season 9 finale Twilight wasn't the longer life type of alicorn, but Twilestia is.
I get it is a dibed of canon but the last episode made it as if Twily is immortal given how everypony else got older.
10673025
Yeah but that doesn't means she isn't immortal since their connection could mean the friends are also immortal.
One smooth ride. Spike did help prevent a lot of conflict within this episode. It's good for all character here. But if this really happen in the show. It would be very boring episode for sure.
Well, if this story gonna base on the canon show completly. The last episode of season 9 already show that that sentence isn't true. We can clearly see that she didn't get old at all, unlike her friend.
static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/f/fe/Future_Mane_Six_and_Spike_in_Ponyville_S9E26.png
But if Twilight will really gonna live as short as normal pony. Then, Spike gonna be the only one left of her friend.

And everyone else going "she lied" or something like that:
Think about it: she said "She will not outlive her friends." not "No, she's not immortal." Celestia dodged the question entirely, not to mention Spike, too, is Twilight's friend. These two things leads me to
twothree possibilities:I admit 3 is rather far-fetched but it just popped in my head as I was typing this.
10675017
Think how Celestia worded that. Twilight won’t outlive her friends.
They’re linked in a sense.
10675547
We're saying this cause in the finally, Twilight look extremely well compared to her friends. Her friends looked old had wrinkles while Twilight looked like she was in her Prime
10675547 You did read my post? I said the exact same thing as you.
10675556
The problem is. I'm not sure if Celestia know about Alicorn very well. Because on Season 6 Episode 1 : The Crystalling Part 1. Celestia said
Princess Celestia: The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!
Princess Luna: It is beyond even our understanding.
This make it sound like even Celestia isn't born Alicorn. She might been a normal pony that became an Alicorn later like Twilight.
10675745
We also know she likes to be cryptic by saying exactly what she knows will be misinterpreted.
I still don't get why people hated it.
Now to step away from the immortality debate for now. . .
That's assuming he'd want to in the first place. Remember the reason why OG Spike wanted to do it? That doesn't sound like DavidSpike, unless he too contracted a fear of large crowds and high expectations on the spot, plus a self-deprecating syndrome.
Yeah I realized at some point that the Crystal Castle and Twilight's growth forward as the Princess of Friendship aren't necessarily hinged on the destruction of the library.* All it did was set Twilight off into full DBZ Rage mode against Tirek, then afterwards lead her down a phase of dealing with the loss.
It might still happen though, thanks Morton!
*(though thinking about it again, it can be argued that it was in fact necessary.)
Bad idea! If you remember, they needed friendship, not golden symbols.
Lol if nothing changed there.
Hello, you do realize what that place is and what they are, right?
Would Spike wanna be back to help Rarity through her post-Fair funk? This time not involving a certain dark spiky grimoire?
10675547
Omission and misdirection is still lying as you're intentionally attempting to make someone misinterpret what you are saying. It's one of the things I don't like about Celestia.
10672899
Pinkie Pie: ... Can I have a piece?
Celestia: Sure.
Twilight:
10673871
Actually, Twilight never got Celestia and Luna's powers to raise the sun and moon. They gave her a remote control in the Season 9 episode "The Summer Sun Setback" (#17).
10698343
When Tirek attacked they gave her their powers, which caused the immortality to develop
Finally !
10698343
Technically there was another moment before Tirek when she hosted magic of all princesses. Even though that magic wasn't hers it still likely affected her in more ways than just made her stronger.
Not being able to move sun and moon on her own doesn't really mean anything. After all that's not her domain. The reason why Celestia and Luna can both do the job is because they have similar domains. Friendship, however, have nothing to do with moving celestial bodies. Same as Celestia with Luna, Twilight have similar domain with Cadence and more likely to be able to use love magic than control day and night.
Or they just naturally grow like this no matter the lifespan. Just faster in case of mortal alicorns.
Or Celestia simply lied. I doubt she would like Twilight to know she will outlive her friends. At least not anytime soon. It's not a good thing to know in general and may destroy any chance of her potential love life.

There is another interpretation to this that I believe the author is going for. All of Twilight's friends are Immortal because they're connected by the elements. My theory is that Twilight had to grow as an alicorn till she was like Celestia to withstand the massive influx of power that she gains from being magic itself. This also allowed her friends to physically age as well but after that all of their aging stopped it's possible that they can also regain the strength of their Primes through alchemical enhancement.
So Cadance is also mortal? Really pointless to become a mortal Alicorn unless there is a plan to recover the lost subrace?
The truth was I was going to tell you that I deleted some comments in the majority on the servifor. Because I was more drastic and hasty; do not mention the details well.

no mencione bien los detalles.

What will happen in the episodes and don't add too many hints from season 8 and 9. Well because you have a good plan how the mechanism of Spike and David's character as reincarnated will work. Something that would happen and for which there are no changes in the plot.
Why not make everyone Alicorns if they mortal anyway?
Well... They helped murder Sombra sooo...

A very morbid thought...
Yeah... 2013 was quite the year. Every Friday a day to remember
Never made sence to me that Twilight got a double upgrade.
👍
I personally made Cadance in one of my stories a immortal Griffon Eagless and for this Episode I have a lot of creativity planned
