> Twilight's life: A race against time > by Serenity Darkmoon Raven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1- The bite > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, Twilight was holding a wooden basket, she is helping Zecora to get an ingredient in Gastly Gorge. She had a smile on her face, the sun was shining, she said, "Okay, now I need an eye of a newt.. for Zecora's potion.." She then saw an eye of a newt, it was big. There was a spider web on the Newt. There was a small spider, on it, it had a yellow and red stripe on the abdomen. She then quickly tried to grab the newt. She just wants to quickly grab it without the spider noticing and to get this over with. She then felt a sharp bite, like if some pony stabbed her with a knife or needle. She saw the spider, it was injecting their fangs into Twilight's hoofs. Twilight yelled, "That's not nice!" she then stepped on the spider with her hindhooves. She then grabbed the eye of newt, she then turned around walked back to Zecora's house. When she is walking, it felt like the day was soo slow. She felt an itching sensation in her right hoof. She then started inching, she then saw red bumps in her right hoof. Some part of her right hoof is itching. Her eyes also started changing color, from purple to red, to red, and blue. To yellow to violet. She then said, "What.. wh- is going on?" Her horn started glowing violet, she teleport to her house, she then teleport to the Canterlot Zoo. She then teleport to the hospital. Her eyes continue changing, from purple to green, they continued. She also started itching her hoof even harder, her hoof is also very itching. She yelled, "Why am I so itchy?" Then, she felt a sharp zap like pain in her chest. She yelped, "OUCH." She placed her left hoof on her chest. A doctor. Doctor Corn. She had a smooth yellow mane and green coat. her cutiemark is a cob of corn. She has two jobs, Farmer and Doctor. She got two PhD's one in health and another PhD in medicine. She has been working in the medical field for around 10 years. She is a nice doctor and has a lot of patience. Her father was a doctor, her mother was a baker. She wanted to become a doctor at High School because she likes to help ponies and hates when ponies get sick or hurt. Dr. Corn was concerned about what was happening to Twilight, so she asked, "Miss, are you okay?" she raised an eyebrow. Twilight replied, "No, I do not know what is going on.. I just got bitten from a spider with a yellow and red stripe on the abandonment.. my eyes are changing colors, I have a massive mane and I felt a zap pain on my chest." Every pony except the doctors had fear in their eyes, and heart. Screams could be heard. They began to run out of the door in a quick hurry. They know that that disease is deadly and another pony could get it if the infected pony had contact with the other pony. They do not want to have this disease too and have a doomed fate, there was even an outbreak caused by this disease. The doctor said, "Okay, come with me! Also stay back, the disease is transmittable by contact." Twilight followed the mare to her office, it was a long walk, ponies sitting in chairs on the hallway that Twilight and the doctor were walking on were scared of getting the disease they stood back from Twilight. After what seemed like forever, they reaches her office. The white door had the words printed in black, "Room 109" She then said, "Have a seat." Twilight opened the door and sat on the bed, the room had a big red poster that reads, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away" There were four brown, wooden chairs. There was a pillow on the bed, a purple blanket. There was a pink heart plushie with a smile and eyes. There was also a desk with bandages, syringes, candy, and even pills of different shapes. The doctor walked in and closed the door. She said, "So, you were experiencing.. zap pain on your chest, your eyes changing colors, a massive rash, bumps on your hooves?" Twilight nodded her head, she wears a worried look and an upside down grin on her face. While the doctor digests what Twilight said and read books about Twilight's symptoms, Twilight doesn't know what is going on, she read a book about diseases but none of the ones she read about mentions the symptoms she is going through, She hugs the heart plushie tighter and tighter. A few tears raced down her face. Then, the doctor investigated the case. She then grabbed about the diseases. After seven minutes, which felt like forever the doctor looked up, she had a sad look on her face. her eyes were flooding with water. She walked over and placed the book down, there was silence amongst them, Twilight couldn't help but notice that the room smelt like chocolate. The doctor said, "I am sorry but.. I have bad news.." her heart is filled with sadness, her head is hung low. Twilight raised an eyebrow, bad news, what could be worst about her symptoms and everypony being afraid of her. She then sighed and asked, "Doctor... wha- what is the bad news?" The doctor looked down and after a few moments, she said, "You have a super rare disease... Everfree Weave Syndrome.. it is super rare.. there were such a few cases and only 5% of ponies in Equestria ever caught this disease... it's caused by a spider bite, usually the yellow Snapper, which is a rare species in Equestria, they also have this disease to defend themselves from enemies like birds... this disease is also... a fatal disease.. There.. is no known cure.. because it is rare..." When Twilight heard what the doctor said, she couldn't believe it. Her mouth was open, her pupil was small. There was silence in the room, the doctor had an upset look on her face. Twilight was still trying to digest this news. There was an eerie silence in the room.. it felt like forever till the doctor then said in a sad tone, "I have other bad news... you have a... week to live." Twilight couldn't believe it, her life is about to be over.. just because of a spider bite. The doctor said, "Death should be painless, most likely your eyes would close and your heart should stop, and you will fall asleep, then you'll die.. you lived a good life... ma'am.." Twilight eyes were flooded with water, three tears race down her eyes. She got off of the bed, she said, "Thanks for your help... you're a good doctor.." she then opened the doctor and walked outside. The doctor grabbed wipes and wiped the doorknob. Twilight walked out of the hospital, ponies everywhere avoided her like the plague. She then felt another itching sensation in her right hoof. She then started itching the hoof. She can be heard groaning. Her eyes started changing colors like crazy. From Yellow to blue, blue to red, red to purple, purple to even gray. Even Orange to red. Pinkie was bouncing through the town, she had a smile on her face. When she saw Twilight, she stopped bouncing and walked over to Twilight, then she said, "Hey, Twilight!" Pinkie saw that Twilight had an upside down grin on her face, her face and hoof had a massive itch. Twilight's eyes were changing colors and were flooding with water. Pinkie asked, "Your smile is gone.. we need to look for it!" Twilight groaned and replied angrily, "Pinkie..I am upset... I was bitten by a spider when doing a task for Zecora.. then, I got a rash, an itch, my eyes changed colors. I went to the hospital and then, I got diagnose with a disease... not a disease that will go away in a day or two... this disease is lethal.. sadly..I will die in a week..." When Pinkie heard what Twilight said. She was shocked, she then had a sad grin on her face, her once pink mane was now deflated and flat. There was a short silence, not a peep, Pinkie's eyes started flooding with water. She then lays on the ground, tears rapidly, and quickly escapes her eyes. Twilight felt a bit bad that she made her friend cry. She then watched as Pinkie cried for a bit, she then walked over and patted Pinkie on her head and said, "Don't worry, Pinkie.. it will soon be over.. my death will be painless.. we'll see each other again!" Twilight then said, "I never knew... my life will be over because a stupid little spider bit me.." Pinkie Pie said, "Yeah." Twilight said, "Well, I got some... s- some.. things.. to do... bye Pinkie..." Pinkie Pie frowned and said, "Bye." she has a sad look on her face as she watches Twilight walk away. She feels bad for her because of her doomed fate. She wishes she was never bitten by that spider. A tear escaped her eye as she whispered, "Poor Twilight.." Meanwhile, with a burden in her heart, a sharp, upside down grin on her face she walks to her house, she opens the door and walks in and closed the door, she sighs and looks at Spike who was eating a pint of vanilla ice-cream with his spoon. He had a grin on her face. She wants to tell Spike but doesn't want to upset him when he is happy. She then said, "Spike.. Hand me a paper and feather.." Spike stopped eating and looked up. He then said, "O- okay.. but why don't you want me to write it, usually when you write these letters I write them?" he raised an eyebrow. Then, Twilight said, "Well, you are busy... eating.. ice-cream and this letter is a bit... sad.. I do.. not want to upset you.." Spike was curious about what she meant by 'this letter is a bit sad. Then, after a short silence, he asked, "Well, what do you mean... by.. 'this letter is a bit sad'... is one of your long time friends leaving?" Twilight shook her head and then after a short silence, she spoke, "No, Spike.. I want to tell the Princes... Princess Celestia... about my lethal disease I was... was.. diagnosed with.. I got bitten by a.. spider... then I itch a lot, had a rash, my eyes changed colors... I went to the hospital or rather.. I teleport to the hospital and told my doctor... my conditions... she said I had... a disease.. a deadly disease.. the doctor said I have a week.. to... to.. live.." Tears began flowing from her watered eyes. Her grin was upside down and sharp. There was a small puddle of tears under her. Spike was taking a moment to digest this information, he couldn't believe what he heard, she got bitten by a spider, and is being diagnosed with a disease that could kill her in a week. His eyes were quickly flooded with water, two tears run down his face. He put his pint of ice-cream down on the ground. He then ran towards Twilight and after a few seconds, he hugged one of Twilight's hooves. Tears race down his face, his grin was now dissolved and replaced with a sharp, upside down, grin. He said, "Twilight... I'll miss... you... when you are.. are.. gone... I loved you.." Twilight felt bad for making Spike upset. She hugged him. Spike can be heard crying. Spike said, "Twilight... I love you.. I loved being your assistant.. and helping you with a task.. and you are.. you-... are like a mother.. to me... please.. don't die.." a hoard of tears escapes his eyes. Twilight was crying too. Twilight said, "I- I.. am sorry.. Spike.. the doctor said that there is no cure for this disease... because it is such a rare disease.. I am sorry Spike.." Spike looked up and said, "Well, I got an idea, you love to study books.. and learn new things, right?" Twilight sniffed and looked at Spike and said, "Yeah, why.. what does that have to do with my condition?" she had an upset look on her face. Spike then sniffed and said, "You could research your disease... you can maybe find a cure for that disease then you'll avoid that horrible fate.." Twilight sniffed and said, "I don't know.. Spike.. but I'll try, Spike" she cracked a small smile. > Chapter 2- looking for a cure. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike let go of Twilight's hoof, he still had a sad look on his face, he was upset that Twilight was going to die, in a week. Twilight was still upset but had a small smile on her face. She then said, "Do not worry, Spike.. I'll find a cure.." she had hope in her heart, even though she had a lethal disease and she was due in a week. There was a short silence, no pony uttered a word, Spike stood there and slowly nodded his head slowly he said while tears rush down his face. He looked up with his teary face and cried, "Please, hurry.. you said you have a week... to live.. I don't want... want. you to die!" he hopes that Twilight doesn't die. Spike's heart was filled with grief, he was thinking how he could help Twilight find the cure and to make her final days unforgettable and enjoyable. his head hung low. Twilight had a hopeful smile on her face, she hoped she could find a cure.. she then said, "Spike, don't worry... everything... will.. be fine.... I- I promise.." she had a smile of hope on her face, she is however still worried about her fate. Twilight then walked to the bookshelves that were next to her, she then looked through the categories. She was looking for a book about diseases to research her disease and find a cure even though the doctor said there is no known cure. Even though she never heard of the disease before, she is determined to learn more about this disease. She then said, "Where is the health category!" But when she was looking for the book that talks about diseases, Twilight then started to have a massive itch, she then itched that part, she had rashes in her face and hooves. She then felt something trying to get out of her mouth. Her face glow green, She quickly ran to the bathroom on her left and vomited in the toilet. She was in there for hours, she can be heard vomiting and moaning. The toilet can be heard flushing, the sound of Twilight washing her hooves could be heard. She went out of the bathroom, then she continued to look around and was trying to find the health category that has books about diseases, drugs, and many other things. She then saw the health category, she then was looking for the book about diseases. Then, after what seemed like a short amount of time, she found the book, she said, "That was fast." the book had a red cover, the picture on the cover had a green germ, with an evil face and fangs on it. The words on the cover were written in New Times Roman, it was printed in yellow and it said, "Diseases and Cures" She then walked from the bookshelf and lay on the ground. She wears a smile on her face, she will get a cure and avoid the horrible fate. She then made her horn glow purple, then she used magic to flip through the pages and find the disease. She was looking for the page that talks about the Everfree Weave Syndrome. After what seemed like forever, she found it. She said, "Yes, I found the page that talks about Everfree Weave Syndrome." On the page "Everfree Weave Syndrome" was written in purple, the rest of the text was written in black. On the left page under the words, "Everfree Weave Syndrome", there were symptoms of the disease. Twilight read the symptoms, "Ponies who may have this disease may experience, eye color, uncontrollable magic spells, feel zap pain, feel lightheaded, or vomiting." Below the symptoms there was a notice, Twilight read the notice, it reads, "Ponies who have this disease will have die in a week.." she had a mixed look of worry and sadness. Then, shortly after she read that, she remembered what the doctor told her. Flashback: Twilight raised an eyebrow, bad news, what could be worst about her symptoms and everypony being afraid of her. She then sighed and asked, "Doctor... wha- what is the bad news?" The doctor looked down and after a few moments, she said, "You have a super rare disease... Everfree Weave Syndrome.. it is super rare.. there were such a few cases and only 5% of ponies in Equestria ever caught this disease... it's caused by a spider bite, usually the yellow Snapper, which is a rare species in Equestria, they also have this disease to defend themselves from enemies like birds... this disease is also... a fatal disease.. There.. is no known cure.. because it is rare..." When Twilight heard what the doctor said, she couldn't believe it. Her mouth was open, her pupil was small. There was silence in the room, the doctor had an upset look on her face. Twilight was still trying to digest this news. There was an eerie silence in the room.. it felt like forever till the doctor then said in a sad tone, "I have other bad news... you have a... week to live." End of Flashback Twilight wore a worried look on her face, she didn't want to lose everything she worked hard for. She was the student of Princess Celestia, she was the princess of friendship, she is also a member of the main six and elements of harmony. She will miss her friends. She will miss Spike, her loyal assistant. she shed a tear in her right eye. She then thought maybe there will be a cure in the other page, then she won't have to worry about her death, in a week. Said, "Maybe there will be a cure on the other side of the book." She looked over a the right side of the page, on the top it describes what to do when your friends have this disease. it said to stay away from them since if you touch a pony with this disease, you could get it too and die in a week. Then after a short while, Twilight then looked at the bottom of the other page and there was something about the cure, Twilight read what it was written, "There isn't any cure for this disease, it is a rare disease and only 5% of ponies ever gotten this, but some hospitals might have a cure for the disease or offer special treatment." Twilight's face started glowing red, she grabbed the book and threw it out of the window, she yelled, "C'mon! Not even a book about disease know the cure for Everfree Weave Syndrome?" Spike said while sniffing and shedding a few tears, "Well, I mean.. it is a rare disease and such few ponies ever gotten the disease." Twilight said, "Ugh, why is it sooooo hard to find a cure for the disease but the doctors can find the cure of a disease in less than a day!" Rainbow Dash barged in, she had an upset look on her face, she looked at Twilight with an angry look and yelled in an upset tone, "Twilight, why did you throw a book at me? What did I do to deserve this!?" Twilight turned around, she had an upset look on her face, then Twilight said, "I didn't.." Rainbow Dash said, "Some random book was tossed out of the window OF YOUR HOUSE and it hit my head.. that hurts.." Twilight then said, "Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I didn't mean.. to hurt you." Rainbow Dash then had a smile on her face and replied, "It's fine.. also why are you mad?" Twilight looked down, she had an upset look on her face, she was upset that she didn't find a cure.. she is also scared of her fate and how her friends will react. Twilight said, "I was looking for a cure... I was bitten by a spider, then... I teleport to the hospital. I told the nice doctor, Dr. Corn my symptoms and she diagnosed me with Everfree Weave Syndrome... it is a fetal disease and no cure was found, I couldn't find a cure on the book and out... of anger.. I threw it out the window.. this was worst than when we went to the Gala!" Rainbow Dash smile dissolved when she heard the news, she felt bad for Twilight, she remembers when her grandma got diagnosed with Everfree Weave Syndrome after she was sleepiing and a spider somehow got into the house and bit her after Grandma unintentionally tried to kill it, she was bitten and had massive rash, her eyes change color and she vomited every three hours. She died after a week, she remembered brawling and crying and wanting to hug her grandma but her parents stopped her since.. a pony can catch the disease by touching a pony infected with Everfree Weave Syndrome. Rainbow usually doesn't cry, but when she remembered that event, her eyes flooded with water, she began to shed some tears when she remembered that horrible day, it was many years ago and it was a week before Christmas. Christmas was ruined for her and her family, she never managed to get over it. Now, she didn't want to lose her friends to this horrible disease. She said, "I feel bad for you, Twilight..." Twilight started to shed some tears too, she began to shed many tears along with Rainbow Dash. A large puddle of tears was under them. They were crying for a while, Spike was also crying, his head hung low. Then, Twilight sniffed and looked down, "I don't want to die.. but I must learn to accept my fate.." Rainbow Dash looked up, a few tears raced down her face, she then said, "I don't want.. you.. to die... you are my best friend.. life would suck... without you.." she had a teary look on her face, she tried to hug Twilight but Twilight stepped back. She didn't want RD to get the disease since Dr. Corn said that ponies can catch this disease if they Twilight then shed a few tears, she wears a sad look on her face. She then said, "Life would be bad without you too." More tears raced down her face. Then, all of a sudden, Apple Jack opened the door, behind her was Pinkie Pie who's eyes were flooded with water, a few tears race down her eyes. She wears a worried look on her face, a few tears race down her face. She then said, "Twilight, what's wrong, Pinkie told me that ya have this disease called uh..Everfree Weave Syndrome... and that the doctor warned that ya will die in a week?" Twilight sighed and nodded her head slowly, she has a worried look on her face. Her eyes are filled with water and tears race down her face. She said, "Yeah, I got a spider bite from a Yellow Snapper spider, then I had a rash, intense itching, my eyes changed colors and.. well.. I randomly teleporting to places.. I met with a doctor, Dr. Corn... and she diagnosed me with Everfree Weave Syndrome.. she said.. I have a week... a week... a week!" a hoard of tears race down her face, her upside down grin was getting wider. She then yelled, "A WEEK LEFT TO... LIVE..." Twilight lays on the ground and whispers, "I will... I miss you.. when.. I'm gone..." she sniffed and closed her eyes, a few tears race down her face. She then had a massive itching sensation on her back. Twilight itched the itch. Twilight then had a rash in her back and face. Apple Jack stood there in shock, she couldn't believe what Twilight just told her, then her eyes started to fill up with water, three tears raced down her face. Pinkie was crying and a huge puddle of tears were under her. They all could be heard crying. Rainbow Dash then got an idea, she then asked, "Hey Twilight.." she still had water in her eyes. Twilight got up, and sniffed. She then looked at Rainbow Dash and asked, "Yes, Rainbow?" Rainbow Dash said, "There might not be a.. known cure to prevent you from your horrible fate.. but.. how about we make the most of it out of your final days? I was just trying to make you feel better or keep your mind off your cursed fate!" Twilight thought about it, she liked that idea, and maybe it will make her final days enjoyable and have fun with her friends instead of her crying because of her fate she'll face in a week.. She then nodded her head, a few tears were racing down her eyes and she said, "Yeah, I like that, that's a good... idea, Rainbow!" > Chapter 3- Today > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday, they had a sleepover, they pillow fight, shared ghost stories, Rainbow Dash shared the most scary ghost story. Then, they drank hot chocolate, went home and go to sleep. During the sleepover, she had itching, her eyes changed colors, she vomit a lot in the bathroom. She then yawned and went downstairs, Spike was seen putting books on the bookshelves. She cracked a weak smile and said, "Good Morning, Spike.." Spike turned around, he is holding a red book, and a purple book with his claws. He said, "Oh.. hey Twilight.. I am organizing the books.." he had a sad look on his face, the memories from yesterday haunt him, he realizes that there are six more days till she dies because of her disease. Spike had some tears in his eyes. Twilight has a sad look on her face, a tear race down her eye. Part of her wish she never told Spike what happened, she doesn't like when Spike is upset and doesn't want her death to be a burden to Spike. There was silence for a moment, Twilight broke the silence and said, "So, I will... leave you.. alone.. now.." Twilight walked away and walked into the kitchen. The kitchen had an oven, a microwave, a yellow cookie jar next to the big white fridge, a table with a red and white tablecloth. There was a jar of sugar. There was a salt and pepper shaker on the table, there were two brown, wooden chairs at the end of the table. Then, she opened the fridge and grabbed a bundle of hay. She grabbed the hay, and sighed as she remembered the fate that would greet her.. at the end of the week. She grabbed a white, fragile plate, placed the hay on the plate and walked over to the table and ate her meal. As she was eating, she remembers her fate, she then got a massive rash on her hoof. Her face was itching. She then started to itch the itch in her face. Her eyes turned red and purple, then her horn started to glow purple and she grabbed the pepper shaker from the table, using her magic and it poured over her. A huge sneeze could be heard. Spike heard the sneeze and yelled, "Bless you!" Twilight then said, "Thanks." Then Twilight went back to eat the hay, it was crunchy and tasted like hay. Then after she was done, she got up and cleaned the plate and put it on the counter. She then sat on the couch, she had a tired look on her face. She doesn't know what to do. She asked, "What should I do?" Spike turned around and said, "What about-?" Three knocks could be heard from the door before Spike could finish what he wanted to say. Twilight turned around and heard another knock. Twilight ran, stopped by the door and opened the door. She was shocked when she saw who it was, she bowed and said, "Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia had an upset look on her face, her eyes were filled with water, her grin was upside down, the two guards behind her had the same looks on their faces. Then, Princess Celestia said, "I heard... you were.. suffering.. from a disease..." "How.. did you find out?" Spike asked Princess Celestia in a curious tone. Princess Celestia then said, "Well.. Spike, Pinkie was crying while she was walking to your house... and she said that yesterday her best friend, Twilight was suffering from a disease that would kill her, then many ponies asked her what's wrong, she told them the problem and now they are crying too... and it is sad to see that the Princess of Friendship is going to... die.. soon... I heard the crying and teleport there, they told me the problem and I went to yours and Twilight's house to say my condolences." She then turned to Twilight and said, "Twilight, I am soo sorry about what you are going through.. It must be tough knowing... you'll die in a week." A few tears race down her face. She then sighed. She entered the house, Twilight and Spike moved over and let Princess Celestia in. Princess Celestia then said in a sad tone, "Twilight, I want to say.. you were the best student I ever had... you were so smart, kind... and passionate... you are a wonderful pony... I wish I could help you.. but there.. is not much I could do... there is no spell to heal diseases and that time travel spell.. was.. was... destroyed.. because you and Starlight Glimmer used this spell to travel back in time and it created a ton of timelines and problems and well... we thought it was a good idea to abolish it before some pony use it to mess things up or to do something that will be irreversible." Twilight coughed, and felt something gross in her mouth, she ran into the bathroom, and could be heard wheezing, crying and vomiting. Spike then whispered in a sad tone, "I-.. I wish I could.. do something to help her.." Princess Celestia then growled, "We all do!" She had a sad and upset look on her face. Princess Celestia saw Twilight open the door, she walked out, closed the door and then Twilight said in a rough tone, "Sorry.. I had to vomit... I felt something gross in my mouth.. I have been throwing up, coughing, and having so much complications... I haven't been this sick when I got Bird flu in second grade... I had to take a ton of medicine.." Spike said, "That's awful and I got the dragon flu when growing up.. Twilight had to clean my vomit, I cough, sneezed a ton, I even unintentionally used my dragon breath to set things on fire.." Twilight chuckled when she heard that she said, "Yeah, it was crazy.." She had a smile on her face. Then Fluttershy and Apple Jack walked through the door. Fluttershy then said, "Twilight, we want to make your final days in Equestria enjoyable so... where do you want to go, we'll go anywhere." Apple Jack said, "Wait, where the hay is Rainbow Dash?" she looked around, she remembered yesterday she and Rainbow Dash plan to go to her house and spend the day with her to make her last days enjoyable.. Fluttershy had a sad look on her face. Fluttershy said, "Oh, Rainbow Dash called me and said she wasn't feeling well.. and was vomiting, coughing, and even felt heat on her forehead throughout the night and the morning.. so she told me to take Twilight out." Apple Jack had a confused look on her face, Rainbow Dash didn't felt any of the symptoms during the sleepover last night.. She then shouted in an angry look and tone, "Rainbow lied," She then looked at Twilight and said, "Ay bet she was lying so she could avoid you and go sleep on a cloud or do something stupid.. How is she our friend?" Fluttershy jumped in and said, "AJ, that makes no sense... Rainbow Dash felt sorry for Twilight, also it was HER idea to make Twilight's final days good and enjoyable before she bites the dust.. also she is the element of loyalty and never intentionally abandoned us!" Apple Jack yelled, "What about when we were in the maze and looking for dem cutiemarks and she flew over us and caused us to lose Discord's stupid game and not being able to stop him!" Fluttershy said, "AJ, Discord tricked her and lied to her.. ALSO I BEEN HER FRIEND SINCE PRE-SCHOOL.. she's been loyal to me.. she wouldn't wake up one day and be like 'I WiLl dItCh TwIligHt' also she been loyal to Twilight the first day she met Twilight also I heard her.. vomit and coughing.. it seemed real... she didn't hang up and I heard her vomit, cough and hr complaning about the heat on her forehead.." Apple Jack narrowed her eyes, her grin was upside down, Apple Jack then growled in a suspicious tone, "Good point." Twilight said, "Okay, can we... go to.. the zoo... I loved going there as a filly... along with the library, and school... also I wanna study animals... you know how much I love to study!" Fluttershy said, "I know a great zoo, you'll like... follow me.." she had a smile on her face. Apple Jack and Twilight followed her to the zoo. After Twenty minutes, which felt like a decade and a half, not to mention the countless ponies offering their condolences... they arrived. The big sign made in wood writes "Ponyville Central Zoo" Twilight smile widen as she read that sign, she remembers going here as a filly,, she went here during summer break, her birthday, and when she was dating a stallion from college name Green Tea. He had a green mane and lime coat, and his eyes were green. Green Tea's cutiemark is a picture of a white cup with a green substance. Not to mention, he was smart, a straight A student, working for a nuclear engineering degree. He also had 4.50 GPA. Twilight then shed a tear. Fluttershy asked in a soft tone, "Are you okay, Twilight.. if you don't want to come to the zoo.. that's fine.." Twilight turned her head to Fluttershy and said, "No, no... I want to go to the zoo.. when I saw the sign I remembering going here for my birthday, summer break, and when I was dating Green Tea. He was an amazing student from college.. I broke up wit that idiot..." FLuttershy then asked in a curious tone, "Why did you break up? If you don't mind me asking.." Twilght's smile dissolved and turned sharply upside down. She then said, "I broke up with him after I found out that he only dated me to be popular since I was very popular in college... he only dated me to help me with his homework... he was rude and restrictive... and the staw that snapped the pony's back was he was charged and convicted of Drug Trafficking.. he only dated me to help him with his drug operations.. I- didn't get arrested because I didn't know I was helping him with his drug shit... also I had no criminal intentions.. I broke up with him because I thought dating a criminal would ruin my reputation, his actions were all over the news and condemned... and yeah..." App Jack and Fluttershy felt sorry for her.. they both said in unison, "I'm sorry that happened to you!" Twilight said, "Well, that goes before I make this... day is more depressing than yesterday.." The three mares enter the zoo, a grin is on their faces. They walked to where the first exhibit and saw the first exhibit was a Jaguar. They had yellow fur and black patterns and spots on their body. Twilight then yelled, "My favorite-" Before she could finish speaking, a sneeze could be heard. Fluttershy and Apple Jack said in unison, "Bless You!" Twilight nodded her head and said, "Thanks.." She then felt an intense itching sensation on her face and body, She started itching all over her body. A rash could be seen on her hooves. After a while, she stopped itching but her rash was still on her face. She had a tired look on her face. Then a pony walked over to the three mares were standing, it was Moondancer. She had a sad look on her face, her eyes were filled with water and a few tears run down her face. She said, "Twilight, I heard you have a lethal disease and your due.. in a few days..." She could be heard crying, then she whimpered, "I will miss you when you're gone... you and I were friends as fillies... and... and.. we had so much good times.." Twilight eyes fill and leak water, a grin was on her face. She then said, "We had good times, and I'll miss you too," she then wiped away her tears and said, "I also... want to say.. I am sorry for not going to your birthday party and also sorry for not being a good friend to you!" Moondancer then looked up to Twilight, a wide grin was on her face. She then said, "Twilight, I forgive you... also what are you talking about you were always a good friend to me," She then wiped one of her tears before saying, "You were my best friend.." Moondancer then walked forward and tried to hug Twilight but Twilight backed away, a worried look was on her face. Moondancer was confused by this and asked, "What's wrong?" Twilight then said, "Well, it's just that... if you touch a pony with this disease.. you'll get the disease too and you'll die in a week.. I don't want you to die.." There was a silence for a few minutes, no pony spoke a word. Moondancer said, "Oh Okay, sorry Twilight!" She had a sad look on her face. Twilight had a light grin on her face. Then Moondancer then walked away. Twilight, Apple Jack, and Fluttershy walked through the zoo. They saw a bunch of penguins. They were sitting on an iceburg, swimming in the freezing cold water, and they were eating fish. They they went to see more animals. When they walk and look at more animals, everypony tells Twilight about how much they felt bad for her and how they heard of their condition, even Discord and Starlight Glimmer themselves, Twilight's enemies did, they hate Twilight but can't feel anything but bad for her. This disease is deadly, rare, and there is no cure. After a long day, they saw many animals. Apple Jack favorite animal was Polar Bear, Twilight favorite was the Jaguar, and Fluttershy loved all the animals. Twilight, Apple Jack, and Fluttershy left the zoo, Twilight went back to her house, Apple Jack went to Sweet Apple Anchors , and Fluttershy went to check on Rainbow Dash. The sun stepped from the sky, the moon took it's place and shined brightly on the sky. There was silence in Equestria, everypony left work and went back home. Some ponies started working the night shift. Twilight was reminded of how after tonight, she only has five days left to live.. > Chapter 4- Final day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next few days went by very fast, Twilight didn't like how fast the week was going and how she'll die in a week. But the final day arrived, the last few days were days to remember. She ruled Equestria for a day because she wished to rule Equestria after Princess Celestia died. She was a fair ruler, she made prisons less violent and more rehabilitative. She made Meth legal just for a day. Then, the next day she went to the Ponyville prison, she then walked through the dark, narrow hallway. There was a flickering light in the middle of the hall. She looked for the cell that holds her ex-colt friend, Green Tea. She, after a few minutes which felt like hours reached his cell. She saw Green Tea sitting in bed. He had a grin, his head resting against a fluffy and white pillow. She said, "Green Tea, remember me?" Green Tea's eyes opened and he sat up and saw Twilight, his smile faded and said in a mean tone, "Oh hey Twilight...it's nice to see you after all these years.." Twilight said, "Well, I have a disease... I will die... this Saturday.. I came and asked if you wanted to get back together... again... I think you learned your lesson and.. in my heart, I still love you.. I just want a... short term relationship" There was a silence before Green Tea said, "No... and also I found a few filly friend, her name is Lemon Cakes. She is so cute, nice, and also she tried to bail me out.. unlike you..." Twilight's grin dissolved when she heard those words. She then took a deep breath and said, "Okay." and walked away. Green Tea had an evil smirk on her face. Then she watch TV played video games, and even took a nap. The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift. Then the next day, Thursday, she decided to give back to the community. She picked up garbage that was left behind by lazy ponies. She wears an orange vest and picks up trash with her hooves. She said in a sad tone, "I only.. have a few days left to live... so why not help the community.. it's a nice thing to do." She picks up trash and puts it in green garbage bags. The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift. Then it was Friday, two days left before Twilight's doomed fate. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had an announcement so they told the other Mane 6 characters and told them to go to Twilight's home. They had a sad look on their face, a few tears escape their eyes. Rainbow Dash said to the other four mares sitting in the purple couch, "I have Everfree Weave Syndrome.. too..." there was silence in the room, Rainbow Dash's eyes started flooding with water, tears run through her face. Then, Fluttershy walked forward to the group of mares, who could be heard crying and weeping. A puddle of tears were under them. Twilight ran and hugged Rainbow Dash. After a few moments, Fluttershy said, "I have.. it too... " Then, Fluttershy's eyes started changing color, she could be heard sneezing three times. Also, she had massive rashes all over her body, head, and even on her wings. Rainbow Dash then let go of Twilight then started itching her body. After a few minutes of Rainbow Dash itching, she groaned in angry tone, "Stupid itch." she continued itching her body like crazy. She groaning, she even using her mouth to stop the itch. Then all of a sudden, Rainbow Dash's eyes started changing color too. She yelled, "Stupid symptoms.." She then yelled, "I wish there was a bucking cure!" as she itch the itch and felt heat on her forehead. Apple Jack then said in a sad tone, "I thought losing one friend was bad... but now we are about to lose... three friends.. my best friends.. that is even worst!" Pinkie Pie said, "Not my Dashie.. why is she going to die?" She then started crying a huge stream of tears, creating a huge puddle of tears on the ground. It was a sad day, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy not wanting to infect any pony decided to stay in their houses until they die. They can't wait to see Twilight on the other side. They were also heard crying, they will miss their other friends and if a villain comes and attacks Ponyville the other three won't be able to stop them with the elements of harmony. They knew that when Spike wore the Element of Loyalty instead of Rainbow Dash, they weren't able to stop Discord so how are they able to stop any villain with only three of the elements of harmony. Then, The sun sets down and the moon stands in the sky glowing. Everypony went home, some worked the night shift. Then, it was Saturday or to Twilight, the final day, of Twilight's life. She woke up, she was sleeping on the purple couch. She let her friend sleep on her bed, she wanted to spend her final days with Twilight before she died. Twilight's eyes changed color, and she then felt something in her mouth, she rushed to the bathroom and could be heard vomiting. She was also crying and wheezing. After a few minutes, the toilet can be heard flushing the water ran. Then, Twilight left the bathroom. Pinkie Pie then walked down the stairs, she had a happy look on her face and said, "Twilight, we have a surprise for you!" Twilight said, "What is it, Pinkie?" Pinkie turned around and said, "Follow me!" She and Twilight walk together, upstairs then they saw a huge banner written in purple, "We will miss you, Twilight!" There was a brown table and on top of the table there was a big, two layered cake, topped with pink frosting and sprinkles. There was confetti all over the place, there were gifts on the ground, Twilight's smile got wider and wider. Her eyes twinkle. Then, Apple Jack, and Rarity yelled, "SURPRISE!" They jump out of the hiding places. Apple Jack hid behind Twilight's Bed and Rarity chose to open the bathroom door that is in her bedroom. They both had a smile on their face. Twilight said in a shocked tone, "Wow.. thanks.. I don't know what to say..... thank you!" Apple Jack then said, "That is what friends are for!" She said walking from her hiding spot. Then, Twilight said, "You ponies even got me... gifts.. thanks," She then yelled, "OUCH!" when she felt a zap pain on her chest. She walked over and opened the first gift wrapped in blue and purple stripe wrapping paper. It was an astrology book. It was yellow, had the twelve zodiac signs on the cover and written in red text, "Astrology" Apple Jack said proudly, "Ay got ya that.. ya know how much you love books.. ya don't give a hoot about Astrology but ya know ya might like it.." She had a smile on her face. She then said, "Wow, I love it.. thank you, AJ!" She had a happy look on her face, she then opened the next gift in pink wrapping paper wit blue polka dots. It was a purple scarf. Twilight said, "Amazing gift.. I lost my old scarf..." Rarity said, "I got you the scarf, it goes great with your coat.." Twilight then said, "Thank Rarity.. so thoughtful!" Then Pinkie yelled in a happy tone, "Open mine, Open mine!" She had an exciting tone on her face. Twilight said, "Okay, Pinkie.." she then opened Pinkie's gift wrapped in yellow wrapping paper, she had a giant smile on her face when she saw what it was, it was a jaguar plushie. Pinkie then said, "You love jaguars, you said it when we were at the zoo!" She had a smile on her face. Twilight chuckled and said, "You got that right Pinkie!" Then they grabbed plates and cut the cake. Everypony in that room was happy but were also reminded of Twilight's fate in a couple hours. They ate cake, played video games and even napped. Then, after several hours, Twilight woke up. She had a peaceful look on her face. She looked out the window and saw the sun slowly leaving the sky, the moon slowly moving up the sky. Her face turned into a frown quickly, dissolving her once, beautiful smile. She then said, "Oh... no.. it's almost the end of the day.." Twilight said, "Apple Jack, Pinkie, Rarity... it's almost the end of the day... I will die soon.. I will be gone.." Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie woke up and then had a distressed look on their faces. Twilight said, "I love you... you were the greatest friends ever..." Twilight then yelled, "That spider that gave me the disease is a cunt!" She then felt dizzy, she then ran over to the couch, she laid on the couch, she said in a weak and sad tone, "This... is it... I'm sorry but I got to go.. I love you... please don't forget me.." She had tears running through her face, her eyes are filled with water, along with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Apple Jack.. There was silence in the room.. Then Twilight slowly closed her eyes, she laid her head against the purple, fuzzy couch. Her heart is no longer beating, her eyes are closed permanently, her grin is upside down. Pinkie Pie's mane deflated again, she then laid on the ground and started sobbing a huge amount of tears, the ground under them was flooded with tears, Rarity and Apple Jack also cried. There was a silence, Then, all of a sudden, Twilight's body started to rot. Apple Jack asked, "Hey, what's that smell!?" > Chapter 5- Funeral > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, was Monday. It was raining, Twilight's friends, family, and most Equestrian ponies sat in the chairs. On the stage there was a microphone, and behind the microphone is the casket, holding Twilight's body. Ponies crying and whimpering can be heard. Shining Armor then said, "I can't believe I lost my little sis, Twilight!" He then covered his face as he cries. Flurry Heart also starts to cry along with her father. Everypony had water in their eyes and tears racing down from her body. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was sick and couldn't attend but they watch the funeral on their laptop. Then after moments of crying and sobbing, Princess Celestia got up from the chair and went on stage. She then made her horn glow yellow and pulled it closer to her and said, "Mares, Colts, we are here to say goodbye to Twilight. She was the princess of friendship, she was a smart and a kind mare. She solved a ton of friendship problems along with her friends, she will be missed she died to Everfree Weave Syndrome.. I believe.. does anypony have they would like to say?" Shining Armor got up from his chair and got on stage and pulled the microphone closer to him using magic from his horn, he said, "I do, I want to say, Twilight.. I will miss you.. you will... will.. always be my little sis..." He then gave the microphone back to Princess Celestia and started crying, there was a huge puddle on the stage. Then, Shining Armor went back to his seat. Then Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie went on stage. Princess Celestia gave them the mic. Apple Jack said, "Ay want to say, Twilight was the greatest friend ever... ya will miss 'er!" Rarity grabbed the mic, many tears race down her face, her eyes were filled with water. She then said, "Twilight, I will miss you... I wish the disease that killed her never existed." Pinkie grabbed the mic, she said, "I will miss her.. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy has the disease... I will miss them too.." After many moments, the castle guard went to stage, grabbed the casket and gently cast the casket down and burried it, the Wonderbolts, without Rainbow Dash did air stunts to honor Twilight.
