Every year in equestrian there is a lottery to deal with the increasing number of mares. This was the annual Ponyville lottery and all are over 13 were required to be present. If you were pregnant with a stallion though, you would be allowed to raise it. The mane six, were headed to city hall, where the numbers would be called. They were all reacting in their own way. Rarity was wondering if they would make sure she looked beautiful, Pinkie was wondering if she would be served with a sweet sauce, Fluttershy was scared, but knew running away would do nothing for her, and Rainbow dash, could only think of herself, and how awesome she would taste, and Applejack realized that if she were picked, she wouldn’t try to get out of it, as for all she knew the next number could be her sister, or one of her friends.

The mayor came out to give a speech. “Every year, we have a lottery to control the population of mares in Equestria. Think of it as an honor if you are chosen, as you are giving your life, so a fellow mare may live. For the past few years, I have seen mares I would call friends come and go, some gracefully, and some forcibly dragged off as they tried to escape. Someday, even my number may come up. As your number is called, please make your way to the holding area for meat, and wait for the guards to tell you what to do.”

As she was now a princess, Twilight was immune from the lottery, but came as she felt it would be good to say a few words. “I know how it feels, that scared felling, and the paranoia that you are going to be picked. When I was old enough that I was finally up for the lottery, I could see the pain in my brothers eyes, as he knew I had to potential to be no longer a mare, and just meat. Take it from me, that if you accept your potential fate, you can live each day to its fullest, and leave Ponyville with no regrets.”

As she left the stage, the first number was being picked. It took quite a while for some as they had to be dragged to the holding area, as they were either too scared, or in one ponies case they tried to run. As there were only two numbers left at this point, and every mare was starting to feel relieved.

To bring closure faster, the last two numbers were to be called together. Number 137894 and 259617 please make our way to the holding area. None of the mane 6 could believe it; those were the numbers of Applejack and Rainbow dash. They hugged each other tightly as a group, knowing that this would be the last time any of them saw those two alive. Applejack and Rainbow dash walked hoof in hoof to the holding area, hoping at least that they would be together until the end, as that would make it a lot more bearable. The mayor wanted to make one last announcement. “If you want to say your goodbyes, please make your way too the holding area now please.”

The four of the mane six not chosen, went over to say their goodbyes. All applejack and rainbow could do when their friends got over to them was cry. They spoke one after another. Rarity started first. “Darling, don’t worry it will be fine, and I am sure you will taste and look great.” Fluttershy went next, but didn’t say much other than “I am sure it will all be over quickly. Pinkie went next, but all she could talk about was if there would be candy or something when they were served, because they were sweet ponies. Twilight went last. “If I could, I would make sure that your end would be more painless then what a lot of ponies do to you."
Cages were being lowered, as the ponies that were not meat were told the time to say goodbye was up. They had one last hug, as friends, their memories of them all they would have left. Applejack and Rainbow dash rushed into a cage together hoping they would not be parted. Luckily for them they were not parted, but were knocked out magically, so they would not know where they were going in case they wanted to escape.

Meat processing

It was quite a long way that they were going to be transported, since it was set up somewhere more remote. It was quite the streamlined operation. When you entered, it was already decided whether you were to be a live roast or not.
If you weren’t a live roast, you would be prepared for hanging in a grocery store, whole as it looks more appealing to customers.

There were two ways this could happen, with or without stuffing. With stuffing took a bit more time, but a lot of customers preferred it since meat like this came only once a year. It started with the mare being tied upside down to allow the blood to rush to her head. they were kept like that for some time, before a worker came over with a knife and slit their throats. They would die almost instantly, but there would be a 10 minute waiting period to make sure all of the blood had left the Mare. After this, there were two ways from here, whole, or steaks.

In this case the mare was to be whole. When left whole they were either filled with stuffing, or had their organs left in. When they were stuffed, it started with them being cut open, and their organs being carefully removed. The stuffing was pre made, and all they had to do was grab a pre measured bag of it. It was quite quick work with the stuffing as it was almost literally poured in. Once that was done, a unicorn sealed them up as if they had never been cut open on the neck or in the belly. After this, they were hung in a fridge, waiting to be sent out to a grocery store where they would be bought.

For Rainbow dash and Applejack though, they were each going to be a perfect live roast. There are some who prefer it to end quickly, but for most, they feel live roasting brings more honor with it, and heavily prefer this if it is possible. It takes around a month, maybe more before live roasts can be shipped out. Both Rainbow and apple were glad that they were granted the request to stay in a cage together. There didn’t do much the first night aside from holding each other tight. They fell asleep in each other’s arms that night.

It was day one of a projected 30 for them, as that was how long it usually took to get meat to the perfect roasting weight. It was part of the whole process that the meat was shown love. It was mainly to make them relax more, but they felt some could use being comforted, and maybe even just rubbed. The feeders made their rounds and noticed that 137894 and 259617 seemed depressed, and got into the cage with them. They moved slowly towards them, not wanting to freak them out, and just decided that for today, maybe mane stroking would suffice. They were at first scared, but Apple and Rainbow relaxed immediately after their manes started being stroked. They were both whinnying quite a lot, and just couldn’t help but lie there. The feeders stayed there for quite some time, longer then with most, because how much joy they seemed to be bringing the meat, made them happy. They eventually had to leave, and left a huge portion of food. They wolfed it all down, and then just fell asleep in each other’s hooves.

Day 2 and still all Rainbow and Apple can do is hold each other.

Day 5 and Apple and Rainbow have come to terms in their own ways about being roasts for somepony. They talk with each other about their fears and what not. The same as the last 5 days, the feeders come to stroke and hold them.

Day 10

Day 10, Rainbow Dash, new it was now or never with Applejack. She had to deal with her feelings, let them out. She was going to tell her, no show her how much she meant to her. She needed Applejack’s marehood resting on her lips.

It was the craving for Applejack’s sweet nectar dripping into her mouth, allowing her to taste it. She moved herself away from Apples embrace, having been curled closely together. She moved as gently to the other side of the cage as possible. Her ears were as up as possible, her tail swishing excitedly as she listened for Applejack waking up. She moved over to Applejack, and started to kiss along her luscious golden hair. It was a mass of perfectly golden hair, larger than her own, and making her feel a little shame.

Lying down behind Apple, she used a hoof, to raise apple’s tail enough, that she could move her snout in. She took a big whiff, and it was the same smell from when Apple was in heat, that almost sickly sweet smell. She couldn’t help but press her lips into Applejack’s marehood, and give the orange labial lips a kiss.

She moved her left wing slowly out, letting it extend fully. She allowed the wing nubs to slowly brush Applejacks flank. She squeezed Applejack’s rump gingerly and loving way.
With her wing nubs continually rubbing Apple’s flank, she used her tongue to lap slowly around the edges of her outer lips. She felt Apple’s Marehood immediately start to moisten slightly. She allowed her mouth to taste the flavor of Applejack’s marehood, as her tongue continued to lap at and in-between the folds.

Applejack started to stir, and was clearly slowly waking up. Rainbow wanted her to be awake for this.
She felt applejack’s pink insides open as some nectar poured out, the nectar that Rainbow dash had been craving; no needed. Her eyes closed, as she let she sweet flavor melt upon her tongue.
Applejack’s eyes awoke, slowly and unbeknownst to her, she was pressing her marehood into Rainbow’s snout since they were not suite under her control yet.

“Oh yes, do it just like that.” applejack moaned, her mind focused on the pleasure she was receiving. Years spent repressing her sexual urges; all in the name of the farm were being eroded away, as Rainbow slowly brought her immense pleasure.

She moved her front hooves to Applejack’s thighs to massage the flesh near her nethers. Her lips were sucking and moving across the folds of her marehood.
Rainbow enjoyed the sigh that Apple let out, dragging her tongue around the orange folds, feeling them wink. It was only slight, but Rainbow felt apple let loose a little pee. She drank it sown, the salty sweet taste making her want to give Applejack pleasure even more.

Rainbow’s rump was raised, no matter how much she tried to lie down. Her wild tail swayed side to side seductively through the air in a teasing manner as she pleasured Apple. Her eyes looked at apple innocently, as her nose was buried into Apples marehood. She was giving the pink insides a drink.

“Stop bein’ so cute as ya pleasure me”, applejack spoke almost in moan.” Apple’s hoof moved to brush through Rainbow’s mane, digging in slightly. “Taint fair at all”
Rainbow removed her muzzle from Applejack’s marehood, licking her lips of all the liquids Applejack’s marehood dripped on her.

“Me?” dash said as her fore hooves kneaded Applejack’s plot.

Applejack whinnied quietly at Dash “have ya considered I might have wanted to be awake for this?”

“I was…”

“You need ta leave all this talking nonsense to miss purple princess know it all.” Rainbow said to her sort of annoyed.

Applejack put a hoof onto Rainbow’s head, and pushed Dash’s muzzle further into her marehood, muffling the rest of her words.

“Were yall tryin ta say somethin.” Guess not, as you are making unintelligible noises.
Her words were further muffled with her tongue licking around the orange labia her muzzle was being ground into. Her fur was becoming sticky there, thanks to all of the nectar that was pouring out of Apple.

She wasn’t going to be going anywhere for quite a while, so she figured she might as well make the best of it.
Her lips sealed around Apples marehood, to ensure none of the sweet honey she desperately needed at this point would escape. Her eyes closed as Applejack stroked a hoof through her mane as Dash’s tongue pressed further into the pink in front of her.

Her tongue was licking Applejack’s dripping marehood, trying to force more of that wonderful honey into her mouth. It didn’t matter if it was in or around her muzzle. All that mattered was that it dripped on her nose, and made her cheek sticky.

Her own arousal was starting to affect her concentration towards Apple’s plot. I didn’t help either that there was a strong scent of sex from Apple’s marehood. She felt her wing moving towards her own marehood, to give her the release she so desperately needed.
Applejack whipped he tail on Dashes wing, causing dash to remove the wing from her marehood because of the sting of the pain.

“What the hay?” Dash cried, her eyes staring annoyed at Apple. Her tail was swayin also in annoyance.
Applejack wrapped he hind hooves around Dash’s neck, forcing her muzzle to stay within the confines of her marehood.

“I’ll help yall get off later,” Apple said. She was moaning in pleasure as Rainbow was trying to dislodge herself from Apple’s grip.

“Dammit Rainbow,” Applejack said as she shivered. She could feel the sweat collecting on her fur as rainbow was drinking from her throbbing inner marehood. Apple could feel the need to climax growing quickly as Dash was tonguing her insides.

Apple rubbed her clit frantically into Rainbows maw, her forehooves forcing Dash further into her. Rainbow was ruining the taste that she craved, as more and more of her spit was being leaked into Apple’s slit.
Applejack was no longer really breathing, and instead was wheezing, her body trying desperately to keep her from passing out. In this dreamy state, she forgot her life or death situation. It was Dashes kisses and exhaling breaths that caused this break.

Dash was so good at pleasuring her that she wondered, was she live or dead.
Her hindhooves loosened their grip on Dash’s neck, as she climaxed. Her legs shook as he marehood was pulsing in release. She moaned, losing all shame as she gave up her dignity in bliss.
Dash did not move her maw even though she had freedom. She used her forehooves to brace herself against the bucking mare, and swallowed down the mare cum that flowed over her lips and past her tongue. Her ears folded down, the warm drizzle leaked down her throat, as her tastebuds wer assaulted with Applejack’s quim. Her maw was completely sticky from the Quim that escaped her mouth.

Rainbow didn’t feel anything for Apple who seemed to be broken, all liquid coming out until it seemed she should be dry in her marehood. She felt this was a nice bonus.
As Dash pulled away from Apple’s marehood, Apple collapsed on her back and panted as if there should be a foal that has just been born. She was holding onto her heaving stomach, as if there was a lot of pain, her mane a matted mess behind her.

“Ah….

Apple couldn’t speak. She didn’t care that she felt sore. She felt amazing. Her body felt as if it was on fire.
Her eyes wandered to look at rainbow who was lapping at her face, trying to get all the juices she could.
Rainbow moved slowly toward Apple her wings open. Apple pulled her closer suddenly and locked her maw with Rainbow’s and kissed her deeply.

Rainbow closed her eyes, feeling as if her whole body was melting. She went limp as Apple kissed her. Apple pushed her tongue into Rainbow’s mouth, as their tongues met, she felt them trading cum and spit.
Moving her hoof between Dash’s legs, she pressed the tip to rainbow’s slit, and traced it in a circle around her marehood. This caused Dash to udder a loud moan that made the kiss louder.
Apple wasn’t thinking by now, this was all instinct. A mare was in front of her that needed release, and it was only right to return the favor. Dash was stroking Apple’s mane,, bringing simple pleasure to apple, the kiss making it perfect.

The pop as the maws broke apart and they breathed in each other’s scents gave them both carnal satisfactions.
Everything else could wait. Dash’s dripping marehood needed attention.
Applejack pushed her forehoof into Dash, a squelching sound being emitted.
Apple smiled as she pulled her hoof out of Dash and smeared it on her lips. “Yall like it?”
Dash nodded feeling her dripping marehood, and knowing how much she needed release.

“You love to be masturbated don’t yall”

Dash nodded as apple frantically rubbed her hoof over Dash’s slit, causing repeated squelching sounds.
Applejack hears a loud cry of pleasure emanate from dash’s maw. Rainbow was holding onto Apple’s plot tightly, so she didn’t fall over.

“Do yall wan cum, Dashie?” Applejack said sort of meanly.

“Pppp…” rainbow whined, unable to finish as she moaned.

Apple removed her hoof, and forced it into Dash, forcing her to taste her cum; if rainbow moaning from the taste could be considered forcing.
Applejack once again pressed her maw to Dash’s, as she scanned Dash’s body.

“You aint gon last.”
Apple pressed her forehoof edges back to Dash’s folds, as rainbow started to pant.
Applejack growled into dashes ear, as she started to feverishly move her forehooves.
As she leaned forward, she latched her mouth onto part of Dash’s wing, her saliva coating those feathers. She loved being able to see her saliva running down Rainbow’s feathers.

Applejack locked her tail around Dash’s, forcing her to stay in place, as she bit down on Rainbow’s wing playfully. Her hoof was rapidly moving back and forth on Dash’s clit, as the other hoof went in and out of Dash’s marehood. The Squelching sound filled the air.
Dash didn’t last long.
What came out of her mouth could only be described as a carnal scream. The pleasure sent her into shock, her vocal chords letting out a howl.

She held her hooves on Rainbow’s stomach as some sort of brace, as her ears began to ring. Apple opened her eyes to the sight of dash ejecting thick clear gushes of cum ejecting from her marehood and onto the floor. She wishes she could do that. She envied how Dash’s honey splattered against the ground to form puddles.
Soon enough though, the only sound filling the air was Dash’s wheezes after a huge orgasm.
Applejack stroked Dash’s stomach slowly, feeling Rainbow’s wheezes.

“Yall Allright,”Apple said genuinely concerned. “Did I hurt yall?”

“Nnn… I can’t see or feel my legs.”

“Oh..” Apple said concerned

“I… sleep sounds good,” Rainbow said sort of confused.

“Ah think ah went too far,” Apple said.

“Oh my gosh, I feel like I am going to pass out,” Rainbow said in a stupor.

This was adorable and all, but she didn’t want Dashes last days to be her in this much of a fog.

“Embrace the awesome…sex…fog,” Dash said half awake.

Dash rolled over and wrapped her hooves around Apple, and passed out.

Chef?

Day 11, they were awoken and escorted to the showers. It didn’t take long for them to clean each other, and then they were put back into the cage and given food.

Day 24, today was the day. Even though it was six days off from the usual time, they were nice and plump, and the cook was coming to pick them up at the end of the day. It was a day spent in the showers, being cleaned inside and out, until their coats shined perfectly and they walked with a pained expression. As they were locked back into their cage, Apple asked “So who yall think is gonna eat us?”

Rainbow replied with a shrug, as they lied down and tried to forget the pain all over. It wasn’t too long after that as the cleaning always takes quite some time to ensure perfect presentation that the chef came to pick them up. Rainbow and Apple got a sort of horrified expression when they saw Twilight on the other side of the cage. As the cage was opened they almost ran to their friend, but they knew that she wasn’t a friend anymore. She was just another paying customer, here to select her meat.

They did not realize though that Twilight pulled some strings due to her being a princess and all to ensure she would get them. She hated the horror stories she could remember hearing the last few years of ponies that would chop off limbs before cooking them, to cause as much pain as possible to the pony. She just wanted something simple and as painless as possible, roast pony. It was nice that included in the price and all that, was help getting them home.

To avoid potential problems and damage, they were put to sleep just like they had coming in. If they had been awake though, the sights would have kept them occupied more likely than not, as the dessert out here was something most people didn’t see. It was a frozen dessert. It was like Eqantrica, but not quite as far away. Of course you could get back to Ponyville faster, but they did need to sleep on the way. It would make Applejack even more horrified to know that the deed would take place at Sweet Apple Acres. The helpers put the cages in the barn, and left.

Farewell?

Twilight walked in, as she had a few things to say to her friends. “I know you must be frightened, and rightfully so, but I couldn’t allow anyone else to cook at eat you. This isn’t so much that the rest of us want to eat you two, but that we more me than any of the rest of the four of us were worried about who else would buy you. Some get quite nasty and I couldn’t let that happen to you two. It took me a while to use my princess hood to ensure I would be the only one allowed to buy you two. I am making sure that you deaths are as painless as possible.”

“Can’t you just let us go, Apple said?”

“I wish, but not even a princess can keep a mare from her fate.”

Apple and Dash both realized that Twilight and the others still viewed them as friends. Why else would they ensure their deaths would be painless. They wanted to cry after realizing that, but didn’t want their friends to see. It was a few days until they were no more than meat, and they would have plenty of time for goodbyes. Over the next few days, the rest of the mane six came over. Fluttershy just talked about what was going on with the animals, trying to make it seem as everything was normal. She was trying desperately not to burst into a screaming and crying fit. Pinkie was just being her random self, and talking about a party she was going to have and how they were invited, but she realized that they would be gone by then. She got an idea maybe that she should give them a proper sendoff pinkie style. Her hair straightened in sadness and she left.

Rarity actually had the most to say out of the bunch surprisingly considering that it was usually Pinkie. “Well don’t you two look very glum. Come on, cheer up. I got quite a big order for my current line, and have had a horrible time keeping up with all my orders, considering everything else I have to do. Considering I have an eye for things, I have been tasked with making you two look beautiful after what the atrocious oven will do to your skin. I uh actually got you something rainbow, as a sort of gift to you. I happened to pull a few strings, and spitfire agreed to come and see you before the day.”

“You got the Spitfire to come and talk to me?” rainbow said quite cheerfully.

“As I said, yes.” Rarity said before she left to avoid crying in front of them.

It was a day later, their last full day, that Spitfire came. “So Rainbow, I was sort of saddened to hear your fate, as the whole Rainboom saving us thing was pretty amazing. Just know, that I will always remember you for that, and well I thought that maybe one day you would perhaps be a showpony yourself. I am sorry if you did not want to see the sappy side of me and wanted to see the gruff side, but the pegasi race is losing an amazing mare, and I am losing someone that I would have loved to fly with at least one more time.”

Dash didn’t know what to say, as she was speechless, so she tried her best. “I always sort of wanted to be a Wonderbolt, but considering I am about to die, you saying what you did is as good as I am going to get, so thank you.”
Pinkie came in, and let them out of the cage for their Farewell party. There were treats everywhere and a huge bowl of punch. Both of them went crazy on both of the things immediately, and gorged till they hurt. The music was amazing and they just danced and danced, until they were worn out. As the party was coming to an end, the other four rushed Apple and Dash, and hugged them tight. All of them were crying a bit.

As Apple and Dash went back to their cage, they knew tomorrow night they were going to be eaten. Because of the party, there wasn’t the all night worrying, as they fell asleep, and slept tight.

Preperations

View Online

In the morning they were awoken by Big Mac, saying that they had to be cleaned and such. They were taken too where the pigs were bathed and scrubbed, as it was the most convenient. The first step was removing their fur, and that took quite some time, as there was a lot. He left the mane and tail, as that seemed the right thing to do. Next he scrubbed them like mad, until their skin was quite pink, and glistening. The last thing was cleaning them of waste, but the hose made that quite easy.

Apple was needed in the kitchen to help with prep. She had to make the stuffing that would be place around the two of them in the roasting pan. She went through her book, until she came across a buckwheat, cabbage and apple stuffing. It was quite easy, and it also would use Apple family apples. She had quite a few helpers including Dash, and they needed to get the cabbage done fast. None of the ponies were getting the cabbage cut thin enough. “Thinner.”
She grabbed the buckwheat and brought it over. “It needs to be thinner for it to mix well with the buckwheat.” They all sighed, hating how bitty the work was.

Once that is done, mix the two together well. Applejack was working hard on cutting the apples, making sure they were the right size, even though they were probably just going to melt somewhat into the stuffing anyways.

After that was done, she felt a gravy would be best to serve them with, so she knew she had to work fast. She called dash over, and told her to turn around and lift up her tail. She quickly made sure a pan was on hand, and thrust her hoof into dash.

Her mouth, found part of Dash’s wing and started to suck. Her saliva was running down some of the feathers to the base. The only sound in the room at this point was the sound of squelching, and it was quite loud. She didn’t have time to waste, so she nibbled on Dashes wing, knowing that would probably send her over the edge.

Apple was right, as she heard a loud scream, and felt Dash’s marehood start to spasm. She readied the pan, and caught most of what was squirting out of Dash. She let dash rest, as she let her arousal join Dash’s in the pan. She added to this, stock, onions, flour and butter, making what would hopefully be amazing gravy.

It took some minutes, but eventually it thickened to her liking, and she tasted it. It was perfect; the way her slightly sour and Dash’s slightly bitter juices mixed was divine. They pretty much had everything done for the feast, except for the roasts themselves, but that would take time.

Cooking

View Online

Big Mac brought out a platter, one big enough to the two of them. He just set it down for the second as he set the oven to 250. Twilight came over. “Okay girls, it is time.”

They both cried a little as they realized that they were no longer ponies, and truthfully just meat. They got into the same platter face to face, and twilight spun Apple around Forcing her maw into Dash’s marehood, and Dashes into hers. This should ensure that you two go out happily and mostly unafraid of your deaths to come. The stuffing was packed around them so that it would cook nicely. The door to the red hot oven was opened, and the two roasts were slid in with Twilight’s help.

There were some muffled screams coming from both of them, as the heat started to cook them. All this did though, was make them horribly horny as the noise bounced off their marehood walls.

They slowly realized that the pleasure took their minds off the pain, so they pleasured each other harder. Dash started to move her tongue around inside of Apple’s marehood and sucking as if she needs air to breathe. This brought Apple to a new sense of pleasure, and she made a yelp of surprise. Dash wanted her to feel as much pleasure as she could, before she died.

Rainbow was stabbing her tongue in and out, as fast as possible, as she was starting to pant from the pain. She had to slow down, as she felt her mind go blank for a second. She resumed her work faster than ever, wanting Apple to cum before she passed out for good, and she thought it would be quite quickly. She was tonguing and sucking, as she felt Apple become close, she gave one last really hard suck. Apple came like she never had before, screaming for a good 20 seconds into Dash, and convulsing like crazy.

The four ponies outside were getting quite a good show, but did not know what to think, as soon their friends would be dead. Flutter ran away, unable to sit there as her friends were cooked. She hid somewhere to cry her eyes out.

After she came, Apple started to work on dash, hoping she would be able to make her squirt one last time. She started off slow, just moving her tongue about within Dash. She felt that going slow would make dash’s squirting that much better for her. She could feel her mind go blank for a second, and knew she didn’t have much time, before her body would shut down for good.

She went a little faster, but still was only using her tongue. The heat was causing her to pant from the pain it was causing her body. She started sucking quite hard, working fast. There was somewhat of a squelching noise as dash rocked her hips slightly forcing Apple’s maw in and out slightly. She could feel it coming slowly. Apple mas moving her tongue, savoring the sweet honey, that would be the last Dash ever made. She knew dash was close, but she was trying to figure out what would bring Dash off, making sure to give her the best squirt ever. She decided on what she would do, and clamped her teeth onto part of Dash’s marehood walls. Dash felt that sharp pain, as her marehood started to spasm, letting lose all that pent up energy.
As Dash ejected thick sweet marecum into Apple’s mouth her eyes went blank, and her body went limp. Apple shook a little trying to get Dash to wake up. It didn’t take Apple long to tell that Dash was dead. Tears were streaming out of Apple’s eyes, as she stopped breathing and collapsed herself.

Outside of the oven, the three of them left had tears in their eyes. They couldn’t believe it even though they had helped with the preparation, that their friends were dead.

Finishing cooking

The oven temperature was turned up. It would be a few hours before they were done. The three of them stood by the oven, unable to leave their dead friends sides. They started to change color, becoming slightly brown. Pinkie said something that was the worst thing she could have said at that moment. “Ooh caramels! I love caramels, they are so sweet and delicious. They look like caramels, do you think they will taste like them too. Mmm the sweetness, I am tasting caramels.”

The two of them had to leave the room, and cry. The way pinkie had said that was too much for them. Twilight tried to deal with spell work and the like, and Rarity tried to focus on a dress she had to make for a client, but all they could do was cry. All four were off in their own space, not wanting the others to see them cry. They all wanted to be strong for the others, but that just wasn’t going to happen.

The feast

View Online

Three of them came back to the kitchen to find perfectly golden roasts. Twilight opened the door to the oven, and then used her magic to perfectly transfer them and the stuffing to a serving platter. Rarity worked her magic and made them look absolutely gorgeous.

The three of them went to get Fluttershy, not realizing how much she was still crying. Rarity as she saw Fluttershy, went to try and console her. She didn’t stop crying completely, but her crying slowed as she followed them back to the farm.

The three of them went to the table as Twilight had Big Mac help with getting the platter to the table. Before they started to eat, Twilight felt she had to say something. “I felt we should say something to honor them. Apple, Dash I don’t know if you can still hear us, but this is for you. I will never forget the good times we had together the six of us, and also how you helped me. No us, the others chimed in. Just know that every day you will be in our thoughts, especially because you sacrificed yourself so that a fellow mare could live.” She finished her speech and all of them were crying yet again, unsure if they could even eat their friends.

Twilight eventually made the first cut on both of them and levitated pieces of their plots to each of the four plates. They ate their first pieces silently, tasting only shame and sadness. The more they ate the more shame and sadness each of them felt. They felt way too guilty about cooking them to truly enjoy the meal.

They kept cutting pieces off of the roasts and eating them. It was quite a noisy affair with all the chewing. It wasn’t long before they got to the innards, which rarity wouldn’t touch. The rest of them dug in, and took what they wanted of the innards.

They left the hearts, as none of the four of them could bring themselves to eat them just yet anyways. The meat was running out, and they were getting full. The rest of the meat was eaten, with only the hearts left. When they started to cut each heart into four pieces, they started to really cry. As they started to eat them, the full realization they had been trying to deny hit each of them pretty hard. Two of their best friends were gone, and this was all that was left of them. They ate their pieces quite quickly, as they couldn’t face savoring them.

A fitting end

Afterwards, they tried to think of a way to honor them. The only thing they could come up with was setting up a cemetery for their bones. It took days for them to get carved gravestones in exact likened of them, and the bones were place in respective coffins. They were buried in holes right next to each other, and Fluttershy gave a few words in their honor. “Let us not forget either of them, and the sacrifices they made many times not only for us, but sometimes for all of equestria. They really showed how great ponies can be.” She had more she really wanted to say, but she couldn’t as she started to cry.

Fluttershy walked back to her friends crying her eyes out, they all cries for a solid ten minutes before lowering the coffins into the grave and buried them. They all tried to leave and continue their day, but they just couldn't. They just stood there crying, Twilight was the first to leave still crying as she walked into her treehouse, followed by Rarity, then Fluttershy whose eyes were red from crying so much. Pinkie was the last one standing at the graves, her mane and tail flat. "Dashie, I know you can't hear me, but I will always remember the pranks we pulled" She wipes the tears from her eyes, "I'll never ever forget you, The same to you Applejack." She hugs both the graves tightly before walking away toward Sugarcube Corner, Crying harder then she ever has before in her life.
