>You're Twilight Sparkle.
>You're going to visit ponyville for the first time in what seems like ages.
>Your business as a princess has kept you busy at Canterlot castle.
>But things had come up, and you needed to visit your friend, Anon, the human.
>He wasn't feeling too good.
>So you decided to go and visit him.
>The flight was easy going, not much wind, you practically glided almost the whole way.
>When you finish your flying you land outside of ponyville and begin to walk into the town.
>As you walk in you're given many warm greetings and people bowing to you in all sorts of manners.
>You never really liked it when ponies did this, but no matter how much your protested they did anyways.
>You you just walked through the middle of the street, ponies waving hello and bowing.
>After a bit of walking, you come across a familiar building.
>Sugarcube Corner.
>'Why not' you tell yourself.
>You walk up to the small store and enter.
>The bells hanging from behind the door gives a welcoming ring.
>You see Pinkie Pie working around the oven.
>"Just one second!" She yelps.
No hurry!
>Her head shoots up.
>"That voice..." She says to herself, turning around.
>As she lays eyes on you, her eyes widen up larger than you could ever think possible.
>"TWILIGHT!" She yells, hopping over the counter and jumping on you, giving you an enormous hug.
Hey Pinkie, it's wonderful to see you!
>"OOHMYGOSH It's been like forever you coacoa head!" She says, robbing her hoof on your head.
I know! I'm glad to visit.
>"Me too! OH! I have to plan a party, DANGIT, I'm terrible for not planning a party!" she said, pulling her hair with her hoof.
It's okay pinkie, really, I'm actually here to visit Anon. Do you know where he is?
>"Oh, Anon..." She said, with a sad expression.
>"Yeah, he's still over at the carousel boutique. He hasn't been feeling well lately though..."
So I've heard, that's why I've come down.
>"He's been taking it real rough..."
Yes... we all are.
>"Not even my super duper surprise partied could cheer him up for long, and he LOOOVEES those parties!"
That's not good.
>"Not at all!" She said in a loud concerning tone.
Well, I best be going off to catch him then Pinkie, sorry I couldn't stay longer, but the way you worded it, it sounds like he could really use some help.
>"It's okay! I'll get your party ready for when you get back!" She said, hopping behind the counter again.
I'll see you later Pinkie!
>You turned around and walked out the door.
>You entered on to the street and turned left, heading to the carousel boutique.
>Turns out he was taking it harder than anyone else.
>You felt sorry for him, but there was nothing you could do within your powers.
>Your mind begins to cloud as you walk down the street, not paying half a mind to the ponies in the street bowing to you.
>Before long your daydreaming brings you to where you needed to go.
>The carousel boutique.
>You walk up to the door.
>You take a huge deep breath and knock your hoof on the door.
>The door slowly opens.
>You look and see Sweetie Belle answering the door.
>"Twilight! I'ts been forever since you've been here!" She said, giving you a big hug, you gave one back.
I know! You've grown so much!
>"I know! Anon says I'm going to be taller than him if I grow any faster!"
>You both let out a small laugh.
Speaking of which, I came here to see him.
>"Of course, I'll get grab him for you!" she said turning around, and beginning to walk.
>"AANNOOOONNNNN!!" You hear her scream as loud as possible.
>You hear muffled talking in the distance.
>"YOU'VE GOT A VISITOOOORRRR!!!" She screams again.
>Her voice was so loud it nearly pierced your eardrums.
>She turns around and looks out the door.
>"He'll be right over." She says in a calm voice.
>You hear footsteps coming to the door.
>Anon opens the door wide up.
>He looks down at you and gives a half smile.
>"Twilight! I haven't seen you in forever." He said, getting on his knees to your level so he could give you a hug.
I know! I was around and decided to visit.
>"I'm glad you came." He said.
Listen...I'm sorry I couldn't make it to-
>He puts his hand up.
>"It's okay Twilight. You're busy. I understand."
I know, but it's still no excuse...
>"I'm sure she would understand." He says re-assuring you.
>He always knew how to make you feel better.
Still, I can't help but feel bad about it. It's been itching in the back of my mind for a while...
>"We all feel bad about it..." He says in a sorrow-filled tone.
>"Tell you what. How about we go visit her? Think that will make you feel better?"
Yeah, I think I would feel a little better.
>Anon walks out and walks past you a little bit before motioning you to follow him.
>You begin to follow him.
>"It's not that far of a walk really, I quite enjoy it myself. Fall was always my favorite season."
Yeah, Fall is nice.
>"A chill in the air, just enough t bundle up but not enough you have to over-dress."
Yeah, it's really nice.
>He always had a way of explaining things you could never understand as well.
>You always enjoyed his company.
>Maybe even liked him a little bit more than a friend.
>But you couldn't do that.
>Plus, you were always so busy at the castle, you wouldn't want to put away his free spirit like that.
>You both were walking down the dirt roads on ponyville.
>You didn't walk much, but you both enjoyed each others company, and you knew that.
>"So why is it you really visited?" Anon asked.
Like I said, I was just in town and decided to visit.
>"Come on, Twilight. You know you're not good at lying." He said.
>Darn him.
Well, I had heard you were down so I decided to come and visit you, Anon.
>"That's really nice of you, Twilight." He said with a smile, scratching the back of your ear.
>Holy god you loved that
>"It's true, I haven't been the same since... well you know. It's been rough." He says.
You need some bits? I could certainly help you if you need some.
>He drew in a deep breath and let out a sigh.
>"It isn't about the bits, that's fine. It's the loneliness. It's quiet around the Carousel Boutique, even with Sweetie Belle."
I could imagine...
>"Yeah. I just.... miss her... a lot.." He said, lowering his head.
>After a few moments he looks up.
>He points to a gate leading into a cemetery.
>"Here we are." He says in a monotone voice.
>"She's just back here." He says, pointing in the distance.
>You both walk, close to each others side toward the rear of the cemetery.
>Anon slows down and comes upon a rather well sculpted gravestone.
>He stands and stares at it for a few seconds before her gets down on one knee and puts his hand on it.
>He dips his head down, and you can see tears streaming from his eyes now.
>You walk over and put your hoof around his back and hold him tight.
>He is audibly weeping now.
>You felt so incredibly bad for him.
>As he's crying, you look upon the gravestone.
>There are three diamonds in a scattered triangle near the top.
>And in regal writing engraved on the gravestone read.
>'True Generosity never dies'
