After Sweetie Belle's parents moved away from Ponyville while taking her with them, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom eventually disbanded the Cutie Mark Crusaders... this was in the final days of Elementary for them.

Throughout the years, they eventually found their special talents alone. When Scootaloo found her talent, however, she moved away as well, leaving Apple Bloom as the last "Crusader" in Ponyville.

But as the saying goes, "True Friendship Will Never Die". And as mysterious as fate is, the three mares find the true meaning of those five words in one unexpected encounter.

"Tragedy" tag is there for a reason!

I merely wrote this story to try my hand at playing with feelings! If Death isn't an easy subject for you to handle, please don't read this story!

This isn't canon in any way, and is not related to any of my other stories! If anything, it was more of a time killer, and a personal test.

Anyways, you've been warned! Please leave a "Like" if you cried! It helps me know if I did good or not!

Also, please don't try to make me write any more "Sad Fics", either! It made ME cry just writing this thing!

One of my biggest inspirations was the song that "The End" links to! I'm sure it'll bring a lot of childhood memories back, too, so I'd recommend you check it out! (Also listen to the lyrics, and you'll see the phrase that inspired me!)
