Paper cuts are a minor irritation for most ponies, but for Twilight Sparkle they can make her question the meaning of life itself.

Note: This is set assuming Twilight will never become an alicorn.

at first I was going to make a joke about this being "Slice of life", but the more I read it the more inappropriate it seemed.

Very good story. It made me think. I like to think, sometimes too much.

That was oddly good.

Nicely done...

In all honesty this felt a bit pretentious. It was excellently written and the Celestia misunderstanding elicited a chuckle but overall the story wasn't my cup of tea. Still like your other stuff though.

Now back to life's ennui.

Oh wow! I didn't even think of that! :rainbowlaugh:
Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it!

You have no idea how pretentious I felt writing it. XD

Twilight and Celestia's relationship really shines in this story, as do Rainbow and Pinkie's dear concern for their friend in this funny and ultimately endearing look at the bonds that hold these ponies together. Well done.

And Rainbow Dash would get a papercut at the end.

Thanks a lot! It's good to know I can apparently write believable relationships. :twilightsmile:

this was oddly familiar because i used to stare in to the sky and think about death i think we all do this from time to time

Oh, Regidar, you so crazy.

But Twilight IS an alicorn. XD

Good unitwi fic. not my cuppa tea, but nice.

i know how you feel twilight.:pinkiesad2: when i was 9, i was freaking out for a week after reading a book. Got halfway through, then closed the book and didnt finish it for several years. ( well, considering what i was reading, i was asking for it):facehoof:

Okay. Spill. I caught "Circle of Life" and "Fireflies."

How many OTHER songs did you quote in this?

HAHA! "I'd like to come inside, Rainbow Dash" haha!:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Just from what I can remember, there was at least three other Owl City songs: Dreams Don't Turn to Dust, Plant Life and The Saltwater Room. Oh, and the Rubber Duck song from Sesame Street. :twilightsheepish:

I'm glad somebody noticed. :rainbowlaugh:

ok i was gonna say that there's a hell of a lot of Doctor Who/Whooves references ranging from just bringing :derpyderp1: into it to :pinkiesmile: 's room being bigger on the inside and if you wanna stretch it the circle of life (considering 10's slip just after he regenerated lol). Then... I looked at your handle........:facehoof: no kidding there's Who/Whooves references! Anywho! Loved it even if it starts one on their own existential meltdown :derpytongue2: So for you good sir...:moustache:

2259477
Yup! There's also the whole "Tick tock tock, goes the clock," thing from the 11th Doctor's second series. :twilightsmile:

Start with a papercut, end with one lol

There's a bit of Doctor Who, a little Lion King, Terry Pratchett... I'm sure there's one or two others, but they escape me.

Life unending is worthless.

For this I shall love you forever

buying lots of potted plants to grow all around the house so she didn't feel dead anymore,

If this is what I call home, why do I feel so alone?

Real life I'm sad to see you go.

you think your dreams will turn to dust, right?

"You know, it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,"

Owl City references. Owl City references EVERYWHERE.

Loved it, and not just for the references.

Write on,
