Every pony in Ponyville attended Granny Smith's funeral. Its usually happy nature had disappeared. Everypony had a special place for Granny Smith in their hearts. Even Princess Celestia herself came to down to Ponyville to honor poor Granny Smith.

After everyone had gone home, the Apples, who were all dressed in black, stayed by Granny Smith's grave a little longer. Apple Bloom cried uncontrollable into Big Macintosh's shoulder. Her siblings leaned down to comfort her.

"It's okay Apple Bloom," Applejack said comfortingly. "Granny's in a better place now."

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said in agreement.

Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo trotted up them. "Come on Apple Bloom," Scootaloo said. "It's gonna be alright. Come on and we'll buy you a cake."

"No thanks," Apple Bloom said. "I'm gonna stay here."

"No go with them," Applejack said. "You need to lift your mind." Apple Bloom nodded and trotted off with the other Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Pinkie Pie walked up the Big Macintosh and Applejack. "I'm so sorry," She told them, nearly crying.

"No Pinkie you shouldn't be," Applejack told her. "Me and Big Macintosh were expecting this to happen soon."

"Eeyup."

"The doctors told us last month that we shouldn't expect her to last more than another year."

"Nope."

"Actually, we should thank you. Thanks for throwing that party and making our last day with her wonderful."

"Eeyup. Thank you."

Pinkie forced herself to give a soft smile. "You're welcome." She hugged Applejack, then dashed off to her house still crying.

Twilight and Spike returned to their house after the funeral. "Can't believe Granny Smith actually died." Spike said.

"She was over 100 years old Spike," Twilight said. "It was bound to happen eventually." She sighed. "Death is just something we have to learn to accept in life. It happens to every pony eventually."

"But what about Princess Celestia?" Spike asked. "She's older than Granny Smith and still alive."

"She's different," Twilight said. "She and her sister are magical ponies."

"But you're magical too."

Twilight just put her hoof on her face and grunted. "It'll take too long to explain to you. You don't need to write to the princess today by the way. She already knows what happened in Ponyville. I'm going to check on Pinkie Pie."

"Ok, I'll be here tidying up."

Twilight nodded and walked over to Pinkie's house. She knocked on the door and it creaked ajar. Twilight trotted in slowly. "Pinkie?" She called. "Pinkie are you here?" She walked up the stairs to Pinkie's room. "Pinkie you home?" She asked as she opened the door. "OH MY GOD!" She screamed at the sight of what she saw in Pinkie's room. Pinkie had hung herself! She zapped the rope with magic from her horn causing it to break. Pinkie fell to the ground and took a huge gasp for air. Twilight pinned her down and tears fell from her eyes soaking Pinkie's fur. "WHY ON EQUESTRIA WOULD YOU DO THAT?"

Pinkie looked to the side. "Twilight, please just let me kill myself."

"NEVER!"

"Please Twilight, I need to die."

"PINKAMENA DIANE PIE, DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!"

"Twilight you don't understand I need…"

"SHUT UP!" Twilight yelled at her still crying. "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! YOU DON'T NEED TO DIE! I DON'T CARE FOR WHAT REASON, I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU KILL YOURSELF!"

Pinkie started crying too. "I'm sorry Twilight!"

Twilight rested her head on Pinkie's chest and cried her last tears. "It's ok Pinkie." She whispered. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I want you to promise me you'll never try and kill yourself again."

"I promise."

"I want a Pinkie promise."

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Twilight got off of Pinkie and let her get up. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Pinkie sat down on her bed and Twilight joined her. "Well, it's just that, I knew Granny Smith was going to die last night…"

"You mean you have a twitch that tells you when someone's about to die?"

"No, I mean I saw into the future and knew she was going to die. That's why I went over to the Apples' house and threw her a party. I wanted to make sure they had a memorable last day with Granny Smith."

"You saw into the future?" Twilight looked at her in disbelieve. "You mean like your Pinkie Sense?"

"No. When I was a filly, my parents upset a very powerful unicorn. As punishment, they put a curse on their youngest filly, me. Now, whenever I go to sleep, I'll have a nightmare of a horrible thing that'll happen the next day. And, I can't do any about it or else me or someone close to me will die. That's where my Pinkie Sense comes from."

"Your Pinkie Sense? But you warn us about that stuff all the time."

"My Pinkie Sense is only small stuff. I mean, big disasters I see in my nightmares. I can't try and prevent them or warn anyone about them. So, I have to force myself to be happy all the time." She leaned in real close to Twilight. Her hair flattened and her eyes started spinning around. "And that can make a pony go craaaaaaaaaaaazy."

Twilight embraced Pinkie. "Don't worry about a thing anymore Pinkie. I promise I'm going to do all I can to help get rid of this curse."

Pinkie frowned, which is something that Twilight had rarely seen her do. "I've gone to almost every unicorn across Equestria." She explained. "None of them could remove the curse. And when they tried…they died. Don't help me Twilight. I don't want to see you die!"

"No Pinkie, you're my best friend. I don't want to spend another night knowing that you're going to suffer through this. I promise I'm going to help you."

"No please don't Twilight I said I don't…"

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said with a grin.

Pinkie sighed. "Then I guess we better get to work."
