A/N: Before you start reading this, imagine how you would look like as a pony, it doesn’t matter which gender, only it has to be a unicorn. Thanks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the third, lonely, dark night since the return of Nightmare moon. Even the sacred Elements of Harmony couldn’t stop her this time. Pale, cream lightning crackled across the sky, thunder boomed and echoed down. You even thought you heard Princess Luna -er- Nightmare moon, call across the land,

“Stay indoors Twilight Sparkle, you won’t know what hit you! Muhahahaha!” You stir your green pea soup, it was the only source of food left.

You live in a isolated area, by yourself, cut off from civilisation. Your house was made from mud bricks and palm leaves for the roof. In the inside there was only 2 rooms, the main room and your bedroom. You bed was made from wood, and had a old tattered blanket. You even couldn’t be bothered to clear the small and winding path to your house from the nearest village or town, because no-pony would even bother coming out here. That’s why it startled you when you heard somepony knock, more or less bash, loudly on the door. You turn your head back around and give your soup another stir, then you away from the kitchen, towards the door. There wasn’t any point because the door flung open with a burst of pink magic aura. There stood a purple unicorn, her mane was wet and some wet blood was dripping off of it. She was also carrying a little bundle in a basket on her back.

“Here, take this,” She looked like she was going to hand me something. “It is Equestria’s only hope. It will help you find the others,”

“What others?”

“The other Elements of Harmony,” That’s when it hit you, this pony was no other than Twilight Sparkle. Princess Celestia’s faithful student, bearer of the Element of Magic.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Find them, help them, tell them everything. This is Equestria’s last hope. The other girls, they, they will help you,” Twilight’s voice became scratchy and weak. “Leave me here in peace, where no-pony will find me,” You nodded as her face became pale, she was losing blood. You brought her inside just as her legs gave in, so you lay her down on the floor. You grab your shovel and go outside, where the storm started to fade. Once you finish her grave, you quickly make a stone note.

“What do you want on it?” You ask her, a tear sliding down your cheek.

“Please, write this. If I don’t make it in time, use this note.” She lifted a piece of paper out of the bundle.
“Here lies Twilight Sparkle,
The Element of Magic,
She lost the ones she loved,” She choked on her last words, tears streaming down her face.
“And Equestria lost her.
Rest in Peace-” Her face fell to the ground, the tears slowed down, but didn’t stop, as she finished off her message. You slowly lifted her off the ground and brought her outside. You remember the bundle and take it off her, then you lower her into the ground. You give a funeral to yourself, crying. Even though you never had met Twilight, losing one of the most important ponies in Equestria at the moment. Especially in your own home.

Once you finished burying Twilight Sparkle, you unwrap the bundle.

It was a foal. You wonder why Twilight Sparkle, of all ponies, has given you a foal. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? You ask yourself. It was a filly, she looked around 12 years old. She had a bright orange coat, while her clashing, while fitting, mane was messy and bright purple. She was also a pegasus, without a cutie mark. You give her a soft, loving nudge, and whisper;

“Hello?”

“UGHH!!” She moaned, pushing you away from her.

“Wake up,” You give the filly another nudge.

“Fine Twilight,” She moaned sleepily.

“Twilight? I’m not Twilight.” You say nervously, “Twilight, um, I don’t know how to put this, she’s not here,” She sat up straight and looked at you with her bright purple eyes.

“WHAT?”

“She,” You sigh. “Passed away, last night...” You whisper.

“Where is she?”

“Outside,” The filly ran outside, and you heard her shouting and crying;

“NO! TWILIGHT! NO!” You trot outside into the dark and see the filly depressed, lying on the floor, sobbing great big sobs.

“May I ask your name?”

“I’m *sniff* Scootaloo,”

“Well, Scootaloo, Twilight, she um, told me that you were Equestria’s last hope. Something like that,” You look up to the sky, this isn’t what you would usually tell a filly once they found out that one of their loved ones just passed away.

“She said something about that..” Scootaloo slowly looked at the ground, towards the cold stone grave. A tear formed in her eye, she wiped it off and whispered to herself, “Don’t cry, they didn’t cry, especially Rainbow Dash..” Even though she tried her hardest not to, tears kept flowing down her face. You walk up and wrap your arm around her. You stand there and look down.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” You whisper over and over.

“NO!” Scootaloo suddenly yells. “THIS ISN’T OKAY! TWILIGHT JUST DIED, EQUESTRIA’S LAST HOPE! IT’S NOT LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING! I’M JUST A SILLY OLD FILLY WHO CAN’T EVEN FLY AND HAS A GREAT BIG DREAM TO BE LIKE RAINBOW DASH! OR JUST LOST HER ONLY FRIENDS! THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT OKAY!” She pants for a few seconds while you just take a step back from the agitated filly.

“Scootaloo, listen to me-”

“WHY? ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY? ‘CAUSE IT’S NOT! IT’S JUST GOING TO STAY DARK FOREVER! WHY? BECAUSE WE JUST LOST THE ONLY PONY FIT FOR THE POSITION OF ELEMENT OF MAGIC? WHY DON’T YOU GET IT?”

“You are none of that. That will be solved. Twilight Sparkle told me so, she told me that you were Equestria’s last hope. She believed in you! You are nothing but a silly filly,” Scootaloo calmed down a bit and looked up at you.

“Really? Did she say that about me?”

“Really.” You say affirmatively. Scootaloo started to cry again. You didn’t know that a filly could cry that much. You put your hoof around the filly one more time and both of you looked down at the grave. “Scootaloo, this is only the beginning,” You give her a squeeze and she squeaked.

“You better not do that on the way!”

“Oh no, I will,” Scootaloo gave you a look.

“You wanna play that game?” She pounced on top of you and you started laughing like a little filly/colt.

“STOP! STOP!” You cry while Scootaloo was tickling you.

This was going to be a long journey.

A/N; Was it okay? I am looking for some editors, cause I didn’t want to load my old one with tons of work. (Sorry Neo!) Anyway. Hopefully this is an okay chapter. I will probably make some longer chapters, but I didn’t think that this chapter needed any more story.

THANKS!
