Time Dilation
Twilight Sparkle felt it. It was near. Like the calm before the storm. She could feel everything begin to slow down. Twilight Sparkle felt that Death had found her.
Twilight had spent the last years of her life waiting for this exact moment in time, ever wondering how it would be. She had come up with several scenarios, from seeing the pony Grim Reaper to seeing the light at the end of a long tunnel. None of that came. She did not see Death nor tunnel. All Twilight saw were the caring and loving eyes of her most faithful assistant and friend.
That's not to say that she was oblivious to death. No, death was looming just over her. She felt it. It was an odd feeling to say the least. Anxiety, fear and happiness all mixed into one emotion. If Twilight had to describe death in one word it would be, calm. Just a calm moment. No noise, no pain, no calamity just calm in its purest definition.
"Spike...its time..." Twilight murmured in a low soft voice.
"No...Twilight please not yet..." Spike whispered back, looking down on Twilight with teary, pleading eyes.
"We both knew this day would come, Spike. We prepared for it," Twilight looked up at her assistant. "Please don't cry Spike,"
"How can you ask me to do that," Spike loudly whispered. "I'm losing the most amazing friend I have ever had. Twilight how could I not cry!" Spike let go of a few more tears.
"Oh Spike," Twilight reached up with her hoof. Spike grabbed her hoof tightly into one of his claws. "You're not losing me Spike. I'm just going away for a while. A few hundred years from now you'll see me again and we will never be separated ever again. So don't mourn me for too long. I want you to live your life to the fullest Spike. Can you promise me that?"
"Twilight I...I promise," Spike said in a low voice. He meant it though. He would live his life to the fullest. He would do it for it was Twilight's last wish.
"Thank you, Spike," Twilight took her hoof from Spike's claw and rested it on her chest.
"Ok I'm ready," Twilight said as if talking to Death itself.
"Twilight I...I love you. I will always love you and I will never forget you," Spike said through the river of tears on his checks .
"I...love...you...too," Twilight murmured with the last of her breath.
Twilight Sparkle closed her eyes. Time seemed to have stopped.
