My Bestfriend

I held his hoof as he struggles to hold on.

"Skylar..." I whispered his name, tearing up.

"Lu-Lucky..." he whispered back at me. He held up his hoof and wiped a tear from my cheek.

"Oh, Skylar. Don't go..." I begged him, keeping back the flood of tears.

"Lu-Lucky. Go to our old tree house. You'll find...you'll find..." his voice was getting raspy and very distant, too.

"I'll find? Find? Skylar?" His eyes were closing, his breath was weakening, but his mouth was smiling.

"Skylar? Skylar, wake up. You have to wake up! Skylar!" I shook him hard, but he just stayed still. I was crying buckets now.

My bestfriend's gone.

"Skylar..."

I ran as fast as I can to our old treehouse where many memories of him flooded back to me. I burst the door open and my heart broke.

There was a big banner that read Happy Birthday Lucky! and the room was decorated with streamers and confetti.

I cried even more.

There it was

In the middle of the room

A polka-dotted box with a tag

To Lucky Star

Have a happy Birthday

From your bestfriend,

Skylar

With a heavy heart, I approached the box and opened it. I took out a note and it read:

Dear Lucky,

Umm, this is kinda hard to write. Especially when you're sick. I'm so sorry that I never told you this but I have cancer and today, I'm gonna die. Don't worry, I'll always be next to you. And no, I'm not a stalker, just don't be so literal, it kills the mood.

Why am I so happy today? Because you gave me the life that I would of never had if i never met you. Before I met you, I...well, I've always thought about suicide. I know, can you believe it? You, Lucky, are the reason why I was still alive for three more months. The doctors and nurses said that I should've died a long time ago, but no, that wasn't gonna happen. You've given me so much that I kept on thinking that someday i'm going to blow up.

Ok, time to get serious.

Lucky Sunshine Star, I love you. I've always had and always will. But when I die, please don't mourn for me, it'll make me sad. Lucky, move on. Meet somepony, fall in love, get married, I don't care. But promise me this:

Find yourself a new bestfriend. One who will always be there for you. One who will protect you. One who will love you. But don't forget about me.

So i guess this is goodbye. Don't worry about me. Watch over Starry, okay? I'll tell your dad that you said hi.

I'll be waiting.

Love Always,

Skylar

I reached in the box and took out a picture of Skylar and a music box. I cranked the handle and a soft melody played. I ran down the list of songs in my head and there it was.

Bestfriend

The song he dedicated to me before he died.

I sang along in my head as I climbed to the roof of the treehouse and looked up at the stars.

"And that's the Little Dipper!" said a voice. I turned my head to the source of the voice and he was there next to me. He smiled.

My bestfriend smiled.
