Despite the challenges of being student counselor, Trixie has grown to enjoy her time working at the School of Friendship. However, all of that may be at risk when news of Princess Twilight Sparkle's sudden passing arrives at her doorstep in the form of the daily newspaper. With the students and staff too busy for the morning news, she must make a difficult decision that could put the entire school at risk, and maybe even Equestria. The question now, is she ready to tell Starlight what happened? And is Starlight ready to handle it?
Disclaimer: No, i did not, and will not, explain how Twilight died. That will remain up to the reader.
Yet another story written for one of The Nameless One's writing challenge. Since the theme for this one was much broader and I had a lot more time than last time (Shopping Pressure), I took the chance to make it a sneak peek into my bigger story: Divided We Fall (previously Friendship is Sadness). It happens within the same universe and is made to show how the story will be like, so I hope you enjoy it! Also, Trixie was surprisingly difficult to write.
AKA, you shamelessly murdered her, and don't wanna have to try and justify it. It's obviously not old age, since it's so sudden.

more like I couldn't think of a canon way for her to die, so i just decided to not worry about it.
PLEASE don’t tell me Starlight will go insane and evil again. We know she wouldn’t!

Don't worry, no-one goes evil in this one. It was all in Trixie's head

Or she accidently teleported her far from Equestria, who knows?
Well, without Twilight, there will be no G5 story, then.... Muhahaha!
And yes, Trixie does win in this case... by default.

I'm glad you liked it!
I actually made this story as an answer to the gap between G4 and G5 back before the MYM series was out. Twilight would do her best to make sure the tribes stayed together, so in my mind the best way to get them to divide was to remove her entirely. Sure, it was proven wrong very quickly, but by then i had already committed to the story. I even managed to fit the Unity Crystals into it, but you'll have to wait to see how.
