We hadn't needed the Elements of Harmony in a long time.
And she hadn't needed me even longer.

Things have fallen apart for Applejack. Her friends have moved on with their lives and the love of her life went with them. When she finally tries to patch things up, she realizes she may have waited too long.

Eleven years have passed since Rarity met Twilight Sparkle.

One year has passed since she moved to Canterlot.

These are the letters sent between these friends.

Thanks to this wonderful guy for editing!

Thanks to Captain Bron3y for doing a dramatic reading.

"When I die, nopony will say ‘it’s a shame’ or ‘I’ll miss her’. They’ll say ‘good riddance’

But even so, at least they know who I am. What really scares me is that when I die, nopony will remember me at all. I’m just a nameless face. An unmarked grave. At my funeral, will anypony cry?"

When Trixie takes her own life, she sends her final letter to the closest thing she's ever had to a friend.

[Author's Note: I'm sorry the description is so darn terrible. They're harder to write than the story! Thanks to Princess-Glitzy for figuring out whom the cover art belongs to!]

19/3/14 - Oooh! I see myself on the popular stories list! It may not be very high up, but yay! EDIT: Eeek! It made third place! Oh my gosh! You guys! It made first place on the Popular Stories list. Not sure that will last long, but hooray! Yes, I know it has no real significance!

20/3/14 - Oh my goodness! I feel like I'm accepting an Oscar or something. It was such a wonderful surprise to log on and see people congratulating me on getting featured, even if I did miss its time in the spotlight. This is an honour I never thought I'd have the privilege to accept.

[Important Note: Spike is in his late teens now]

If you love someone, you let them go. Even if that means dealing with the pain of forgetting and being forgotten.

In the shady nooks of the dark downtown Ponyville slums, a peculiar shop opens. They promise great things. Greatly terrifying things. With a simple spell and a strict procedure, they can completely erase somepony from the mind of their client - taking the ache out of their hearts.

Spike thought it was just a rumor, until Rarity passes him one day and claims she's never met him before in her life.

[Based on the wonderfully sad and thought-provoking movie 'The Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind']

Thanks again to Captain Bron3y for a dramatic reading of this.

There are things about Applejack that nopony knows. Even the cowpony herself wishes she could forget. But there are some secrets that are meant to be revealed.

Applejack can't read. And that has haunted her throughout her life.

When Babs is hospitalized after a horrific accident, Applebloom and her friends decide to visit and tell her the greatest story ever.

After Equestria ended, I realised that my immortality had always been a curse.

With the aid of the remaining Equestrian royalty, I created a dream state that alicorns could slip into. A dream of our world the way it once was. A world where grass still grows and my friends aren't dead. Every day, I wake up with a smile to a world filled with simulated sunlight and imaginary ponies.

It feels just like home.

But sometimes, the hardest part of a dream is realising it was never real.

Edited by the wonderful XSomeGuyx and Hopeless Appraisal. Thanks for polishing this up!

"I love you, Trixie."

I love you too dad.

Ever since dad died, things have been different. All I want is for my mother to be proud of me. Maybe then she'll stop treating me like I'm nothing.

Maybe then she'll love me.

Over the years, it's become apparent that I am nothing but a puppet to her. So I put on a smile, straighten my hat, and do what my mom always wanted me to do.

To be the Great and Powerful Trixie.

The last thing Twilight Sparkle expected at her doorstep was a lemon with a body riding an equally bizarre lemon camel. He claims he has come from a distant land called Ooo in search of knowledge.

Knowledge of the magic of friendship, in fact. Twilight and her friends thereon vow to teach him all they know so that Lemongrab may finally acquire a true friend of his own.
