>Day 20183 in Equestria
>You never found a way back home.
>Not that it truly mattered, after all.
>You found a home in the many friends you made here.
>And when you say friends, you meant it.
>Not just the buddy who you pass by every so often.
>No, in the mares of Ponyville, you found friendships and companions that would last a lifetime.
>Unfortunately, your lifetime was much longer than theirs.
>At least the years have been kind to you, as have the ponies that have come and gone.
>Sitting on a hill facing the sunset, you let out a deep sigh.
>This is where you sat with them when you had your outings.
>Letting the nostalgia take over, you're almost oblivious to the arrival of your last true friend, landing behind you.
>The only one who's lifetime will last longer than yours.
"Hello, Princess Twilight."
>She stifles a small laugh.
>"Anon, you know you don't have to call me that."
>The fully grown mare steps to your side, gazing at the sunset.
>"Celestia truly outdid herself tonight, didn't she?"
"That she did."
>You say weakly, gazing at the amber horizon.
>A short pause befalls you two.
>Visits from the most recent Princess were few and far between, after all.
>"Why are you here, Anon?"
>Her question was quite upfront.
"I could ask you the same."
>"Anon."
"Wanted to be somewhere familiar tonight."
>She looks down at you, raising an eyebrow.
>"Wasn't your home familiar enough?"
>Her inquisitive nature didn't cease with her acsension.
"Not like that, Twi..."
>You barely get to finish your sentence before a heavy cough escapes your lungs, jerkng your hand up to cover it.
>Twilight's wing immediately flares up, bringing itself around your shoulders.
>"Want me to take you home, Anon?"
"Not tonight..."
>"..."
>Her silence was deafening, the sun continuing it's slow descent.
>As she came to terms with your words, she folded her wing back, laying comfortably on the ground next to you.
>You go to speak, but a cough decides to take precedence once more.
>Twilight winces at the noise, barely able to turn her head your way.
>Regaining composure, you sigh lightly.
"You're a princess. You know what happens when...?"
>Looking to her as you half-ask the ever implied question, she simply turns away.
>You give a small grin, turning back to the sunset.
"I suppose I'll find out soon enough."
>Inch by inch, the sun makes it's way south across the sky.
>Without saying a word, the mare next to you clenches her eyes, her horn faintly glowing.
>As it does, the horizon transforms into a dazzling spectacle.
>When the sun touches the horizon, the empty sky it leaves behind begins to dot itself with majestic stars.
>The amber glow of the sun combines with the ever-approaching night, creating the most beautiful shade of lavender.
"Heh...this is your time to shine, eh?"
>"If Celestia's going to out-do herself just for you, then so will I."
>You can't help but grin at her as she speaks those words.
"Leave it to Celestia to know something before I do."
>Twilight opens her eyes, her work complete.
>The blanket of stars that carpets the night meet the radiant sun's departure at the perfect apex.
"It's beautiful Twi-"
>You're not allowed to finish your own though before the coughs take over again, far more violent than the last.
>Falling back to the soft grass, you clench your chest as you spasm.
>Instantly reacting, the purple mare turns to your side, placing her hoof on your chest.
>"Anon, I know a spell, I could..."
>Before her horn sparks a vibrant lavender, you bring a hand to her comforting hoof.
"No."
>With that word, Twilight ceases her magic, replacing it with the welling tears that begin to form.
>"But...but they would have wanted..."
>You smile reassuringly, feeling those coughs having taken something large out of you.
"They wanted me to live a full life. And I have."
>Unable to counter your statements, Twilight feigns herself to softly sobbing.
>"But...you're all that's left of us, Anon..."
>You grip her hoof tighter.
"Come on, Twi...let an old man go without regrets, eh?"
>You can't help but chuckle at your twisted humor.
>With a sniffle, she lets out a laugh.
>You two share this light moment...before it's halted by another fit of coughing.
>Lifting your head, you see the sun continuing to set.
>"Are you sure, Anon?"
>Her tears drip down, staining your shirt.
>Looking up at her, you nod slowly.
"I'm ready to see them again."
>Turning back to the sunset, the image of Equestria's extravagant twilight sky is burned into your mind.
>Leaning back, you lay your free hand on your chest, gripping her hoof with the last bits of strength you have.
>And finally...you let go.
>"..."
>"..."
>"..."
>"..."
>"...welcome, welcome, welcome!"
