// Story: "You Can't Have a Rainbow Without Reyn, Baby!"

Reyn held Rainbow Dash as he gazed into her pools of periwinkle, and spoke, "Our love was never fated to be, for I do not belong in this realm, and I fear I shall be incapable of ever returning to you once I leave."

"Um, actually," Twilight piped up, holding a page full of really cool math she and Sunset had done while everyone else was distracted with all that romance nonsense like some kind of noobs, "I'm pretty sure we could create a stable and portable passageway between your world and this scho—"

She was cut off by this very description of how limpid tears clung to Rainbow's lofty lashes as she peered at her lover's amber orbs, and verbalized, "Not only this, but I am betrothed to another; for I am already in lesbians with Applejack."

"I mean, I wouldn't mind giving polyamory a shot, if that would make you ha—" the farmer tried to say.

"And I am likewise participatory in a further romance, which it would tear my hear asunder to abandon," the used-to-be-Homs sordidly revealed, "even though we two have yet to so much as actually discuss the possibility, let alone date. Additionally, this mostly takes place while she's likely to still be mourning the probably-death of her fiancée, but that's not weird at all, of course."

"Even though we have only known one another for a brief period," the athletic girl sobbed as her beads of sorrow drenched the ground, "I shall always treasure these five minutes — this monumental twelfth of an hour — within my heart's deepest recesses."

Then the pair parted, and Reyn dolefully reciprocated, "I, as well, shall forevermore enshrine your beauteous visage in my mind." Then he stepped towards the currently inactive portal that Twilight and Sunset had created during the last few paragraphs. "Farewell, my sweet not-horse girl." He pushed a button, and the gateway opened.

"You know, you can just come back at a moment's notice," Sunset pointed out.

"Hush now, Sunset," Rarity said, "your common sense is getting in way of my delicious drama." She then resumed eating popcorn out of a giant bowl together with Pinkie Pie.

The un-destined duo shared one final anguished glance that seemed to go on for an endless eternity, but of course it wasn't endless or an eternity, because then it wouldn't have ended, which would have been very awkward for everyone involved.

At last, the Colony Nine Defence Force soldier walked through the portal and disappeared, leaving the rainbow-haired sports-loving girl to sniffle silently in his absence.

"You gonna be alright there, Sugarcube?" asked Applejack.

"I think so," Rainbow replied, now visibly more normal since all the sweet talk was over, and the author no longer needed to use a thesaurus thrice per sentence. "Just give me some time."

As Applejack went to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, however, a vvvWWOOOORrrp'ing sound phased in and out of existence, and the Doctor's TARDIS appeared out of nowhere.

The door opened, and a voice was heard saying, "So why was it that you wanted to come here again? I don't believe you ever said."

"I'm not really sure myself, Doc," Sonic the Hedgehog said as he stepped out the blue doors. "I just got a gut feeling I should. Something about following my rain—" He paused as he caught sight of Rainbow Dash. "Whoa. You're the most beautiful person I've ever se—"

"Oh, for Epona's sake," said Rainbow with a heavy sigh. Then she scissor kicked Sonic, knocking him flying back into the TARDIS, which then caught on fire, and also exploded.

Rainbow then turned to Pinkie Pie. "Hey, Pinkie, you're usually good at this stuff. Can I rest now, or is there more weird stuff on the way?"

"Well, there's no more romance left in this story," said Pinkie, prompting a disappointed groan from Rarity, "but we are coming up on the part where we all explode, and also die."

"WHAT?" the others yelled in unison.

Pinkie smiled. "Oh, hey, here we are!" She then crunched her mouth and raised one hand to her chin, thoughtful. "Oh wait, that's a bad thing. Riiiiiiiiiiight."

Then they all exploded; also died.


THE END
(Thankfully.)
