> Friendship Carries On Through The Ages > by Lera_The_Reader > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Pinkie Pie- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey. Its Pinkie, and I think this may be my final entry in the Journal of Friendship. All I know is that all those parties paid off. When I think back, I remember when Twilight only arrived in town. I held the greatest party I could, not even Cheese could do anything about it. Im so glad I got to live the rest of my life with my friends, and im writing this for whats probably my last lesson to do with Friendship. We've all got a good turn, all those amazing adventures, and I know my friends will miss me. I believe they won't let that loss haunt them, because all the time we have spent together teaches me the most important thing of all. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages. > Goodbye > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everypony were dressed in black. Rarity made her best dresses ever, knowing how important this occasion was. The Funeral. The Element of Laughter was hanging in the Tree, its colour grey. The Funeral was taking place in the Cave of Harmony. The Everfree forest was well tamed by the one and only Zecora, and it was like a walk in the park. Everypony sat in a seat, as Twilight read out Pinkies will. I hope nopony takes my death badly. I had a great life, due to all my friends. Twilight paused as the leftovers of the Mane Six started crying. I leave my party cannon to my friends, to make sure the day this will is read is still happy. Celebrate the fact that I have been put to rest happily. I hope Flutter Shy can take good care of Gummy, who has grown so big and strong. I wish I could see him when he turns into a great animal, and does something amazing, not that he hasn't been amazing the whole way through. I hope my sister Maud can take the rest of my belongings and can keep trading rock candy necklaces. I guess this is it. Goodbye. "And now, for the finally Pinkie asked for..." Rainbow solomly set off the party cannon. The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at their Marks, feeling proud. Pinkie set up their Cutie Mark Sénera, and Scootalo looked up at Rainbow Dash. She really represented Loyalty. She deserved it. > Rarity- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So here I am. I am Rarity, Element of Generousity. I have sparked a new era of creation and I am down in the history books for many things. All my dreams have come true. I have helped my friends in alot of ways, but not as much as they helped me. Through thick and thin, I know no pony can replace my friends. I know I have yet alot to still learn about Friendship, but there is no time. When I rest in peace, Twilight will learn these for me. I know it. My fasions, I hope, have inspired fillies to be creative, and as Element of Generousity, I feel honoured to know that I have done so. I have donated all my leftover items of clothing to the nearby charity shop. Of course, I kept all my friends dresses. I would never part with those Gala dresses, or any other as such. They bring memories only we could create. After all this, these memories are decipted in a fine journal for Twilight to remember us by. If you are reading this, don't cry. We don't want you to cry. Let our passing fill you with memories. And know one thing, if you were to know anything. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages. > Dress For Success > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- They had to use the same dresses as for Pinkie. Twilight even put up the Gala dresses on show to make sure Rarity knew she cherished them. Twilight held back as many tears as possible, but it was hard as Sweetie Belle was crying beside her. The Element of Generousity was hanging near Laughter, everypony felt the dead spirits presence. Dear Friends. Don't be upset. You have to stop crying and remember all the good times. As you all probably know by now, I have left all the dresses but my friends at the Charity Shop. Which means I must leave my other items with others. Sweetie Belle, I entrust you to take care of Opal. I hope you can, because Fluttershy might not be able to. I have the left over dresses to my family, who are also my friends. I, even if I may be dead, always cherished and will cherish those memories they brought. > Fluttershy- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's probably my final day. I feel great, even if im old, falling apart and about to die. I know I have influenced my friends in many ways, and it makes me feel special. My friends mean so much to me, and even if I may never see them again, all our memories will always be remembered. I remember the old days, when we were stopping the bad guys and having fun. The greatest adventure we took was the path to Friendship. My friends know the memories will never fade, like the tainted glass in Twilights Castle. I remember deafeating Tirek and Getting that thing... Never forget Luna, the one who brought us together. And never forget my animals, the dear creatures who made me the pony I am. Fluttershy. Element of Kindness. As I write this, I look back at my older entries, and compare this lesson all my others. This one is the most important I have ever learned, and if I were to live longer, ever will learn. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages. > Show A Little Kindness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only a month passes and they all gather up again. Rainbow Dash was in bits on Apple Jacks mane, as AJ used her ancient napkin. Twilight had brought all the animals from Fluttershys cottage, the birds tweeting in a choir on the Tree of Harmony, the other animals beating a steady rhythm. Angel hung the grey Element of Kindness on the Tree. The three remainders of what was once a six, were torn apart. Soon it would be only one left. Rainbow was Fluttershys closest friend, after how she helped her as a filly and all. She had the honours. I don't want anypony sad so I must get straight to the point. All the dear creatures left with me, I hope Twilight will do what I was to. She is, after all, immortal. Take care. My cottage, I will donate to homeless ponies and sell some furniture for the poor. I hope that nopony feels sad or depressed, and as I say this, I stand for everypony else. Twilight, it is NOT your fault. You never knew you would become an Alicorn. Don't leave your well deserved life for us. Show my rested self your inner Element of Kindness. I love you all with all my heart. At the mention of Twilight, everyponys eyes filled with tears. Twilight felt the most pain out of everypony. > Apple Jack- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howdy. I'll try break down the country slang because I am writing. If I were to be honest, I think I had a good run. My friendly rivalry with Rainbow is over. As we say goodbye, I congratulate her. She won the game of life. I feel like I need to write more, but there's nothing I need to add. I think I have learned as much about Friendship as possible, and I of course had my sweet Apple Bloom to help. Boy, am I still so proud of her and her Cutie Mark. As I sit here, my eyes closing with pain, my younger sister holding on to me, I tell her this. "I'm going to join Granny Smith and Big Mac. I'll tell them you said hi" and I continue writing. After recent events, I have learnt a lesson. Twilight and Rainbow sit in front of me, and I mutter my last words slowly. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages. > Rotten Apples > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight, Rainbow and Apple Bloom watched Apple Jack die infront of their eyes. Apple Bloom heard her mutter something. The remainders of the Apple Family gathered with a few others. Apple Bloom had the reading part. The Element of Honesty lay on a dead black coffin, its colour grey as Twilight attached it to the Tree. I know this may feel strange. Maybe it won't. Only Dashie and Twi left on the team, and knowing the past few deaths, only dear Twilight will be left. Stay strong, my friend. The Apple Family used to be a large tree, but the leaves are falling. Our last few are my darlings Apple Bloom and her cousin Babs. Bab Seed has fillies, which continues our tree. I believe you can bring our barn back to life, which is why I entrust the remaining family to keep my belongings. My friends may not receive anything, but the memories make up for it. I love you all, I know you love me too. > Rainbow Dash- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty. I write this as I die. My last, final lesson on Friendship. There's only one page after this for Twilight, for another lesson. All my awesomeness, Radicalness and Coolness has been passed down to Scootalo, a pony who's done me proud. I wish I could last longer, could keep Twilight company. I know this will make her mental, because I was depressed when I had no friends. Twilight's gonna bottle it up, like I did, until the bottle cracks, springs a leak as the water of sanity leaves. Luckily, I did have friends to help me. Twilight will probably be making new friends, but she will always remember us. I read all the others entries, and I smile. They all learned the same thing as I. I learned that things may be tough but your friends will always be there. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages. > A Black and White Rainbow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The news hit Equestria by storm. It was the headlines on every newspaper. Princess of Friendship: No friends? And; All Elements but one dead. Twilight wasn't crying at the funeral, for some reason. Scootalo was reading the will. She felt pride in this, for she wanted to always represent this pony with Loyalty, Love and Passion. Dear Equestria. My passing may shock you, but trust me, im as shocked as you. Shocked I couldn't help Twilight. She's crying her eyes out inside, none of your sadness could ever compare to hers. She watches up drop like flies, while she's forever young. Im so sorry Twilight. As part of my will, I want Scootalo to keep my belongings, for she is a sister to me. I hope you can give Twilight my Wonder Colts badge. Twilight, I speak for alk the Elements when I say this. The Elements of Harmony started glowing their colours again. We learned Friendship from you. > Twilight Sparkle- Final Entry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, now Spike! I can't stand it! Please, Oh Please Celestia! I never wanted these wings, don't want and Never Will Want! Please... Spike made me read the last five pages my friends left me. He left the last page for me. I know what I must do. Friendship Carries on Through the Ages > The Final Element > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna invited in Twilight. She brought all her new pets and alway carried the Wonder Colts badge on her. She pinned it onto her mane to prevent piercing her skin. "Hey, Sisters, wanna go to the Tree of Harmony? Pay my friends a visit" Twilight asked. The Princess flew off ahead with the Magic Element when Twilight told them to leave before her. Twilight found a picture of her, Spike and her friends. A single, grey tear flowed down her face as she organised an important item from each friend. Pinkie's Cannon Rarity's Glasses Fluttershy's Tea Set Apple Jack's Hat Rainbow Dash's Wonderbolts Badge Spike's Heart Crystal, that he never managed to eat Celestia placed the Magic Crown in its spot at the Tree. She realised something strange- its colour had gone grey. > Spike > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight slowly opened her eyes, very poorly. "What the-" She paused, as she looked around. She no longer had her wings, which she sighed at. Twilight Her surrounding gave her a feeling of Déjà vu, as she realised something. "Twilight!" Spike called out. "Spike?!" Twilight cried, as she galloped towards him, engulfing him in a hug, and it held for a while. When Spike let go, Twilights face was a mess of tears, and she didn't wipe them off. "Twilight? What's wrong, Twi, you just moved in a bit ago and I needed you to help me with the-" > Pinkie Pie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I did, Spike, but, I..." Twilight stopped. "TWILIGHT!" "Pinkie!?" Twilight was utterly confused, but that didn't stop Pinkie from bounding towards her. Twilight was in the Golden Oak Library, and there was a huge party. "I set up this Party just for you, Welcome to Ponyville!" Twilight gasped. This was Pinkie's first party for Twilight! "Pinkie, I- I missed you so much, I just-" Twilight didn't finish, she just hugged the Pink Pony, who shrugged it off.
