Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
Rainbow shuffled lonesomely down the narrow corridor leading towards the foyer of her home.
She paused to glance at the kitchen to her right.
All of the doors were removed from the cabinets' hinges.
All appliances were gone... every table and chair scrapped or sold.
A dim morning light rippled through the window. Rainbow sniffed the air, imagining that she was smelling something—anything. The staleness of the moment overwhelmed her, and she turned to look at the main foyer.
Gray patches of non-dust lingered along the wall—the locations of Wonderbolt posters that she had once acquired... had once been proud of. The reflective sheen of stacked trophies were long gone. After so many months, the grayness had finally conquered all.
She pondered all of the things she had once imagined—in a worst case scenario, the pieces of her life and her dreams that she thought she would miss.
In the end, despite being stripped to just two saddlebags full of random, useless nick-nacks, she still felt that the weight was too heavy. But having only the slimmest of feelings in her fetlocks, she was glad for whatever pressure she could afford. The stress—if nothing else—was the one real thing about her.
It carried her outward—almost limping—until she was free of the door, free of the house, and free of the shadows...
Free to crumble.

So she's really doing it.
Wonder what the girls (as especially a certain freckle-faced farm-mare) are gonna react once they find out she's gone.
Somehow, I don't think they're gonna react very well to this revelation.
I was still in that denial phase a few chapters back. I was like, "Oh, she's not really gonna move. She's gonna figure out that Ponyville's her home and ponies will miss her." It's really starting to sink in now.
I told you you were gonna carry that weight...
Lancie's gonna be in for a surprise when he comes back.
(Not that he'll be the only one)
The emo-ness is starting to get a bit much for me. I'm hoping for a tone shift soon. The catharsis from the last Listing Breeze scene has really worn off.
So she sold her trophies? She is definitely uprooting herself from her past in a big way. And she is showing that she has a vague handle of her emotions through all of this. I would be sobbing by this point.
It's really time for an intervention.
You know this'll all be worth it if she links back up with Lancie again.
