//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: The Story Of Sky Blue // by Capulus //------------------------------// Dear... Journal? Should I call you that, or... Do people usually give you names? Ah, never mind. I’ll just call you journal for now. Okay... Dear Journal, It’s been three weeks since I left the hospital, and ever since, I have slowly been feeling the pain from my burns. I got the idea to hold on to the pain, and feel it later from Rainbow, when she told me about how she held in her sweat. I just realised that, maybe you can do it with pain. And it worked. Twilight gave me the idea to write this, because it’s a good way for the author to tie up loose ends, as well as helping me with anything I might forget. For the past three weeks my memory has been a bit off. I mean, I forgot PINKIE PIE of all ponies a few days ago. PINKIE PIE. So, I’m writing this. Speaking of my friends, I guess you’ll want to know what’s going on with them? Well... A few things have happened with them. Let’s see... Fluttershy and Big Macintosh have been spending A LOT of time together, which has sparked some rumours that they’re going out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were. Rarity has met some fashion designer pony guy, who she loves more than anything. Twilight has been looking after Celestia in Ponyville General hospital, because The Princess didn’t want to be bothered in Canterlot. AJ has met some banker guy, and hired him to work at her farm, but I see the way they look at each other. Pinkie Pie hasn’t met anyone yet, but she has been acting kinda strange around Twilight, and the way she looks at her when she thinks no-one is looking, makes me think Pinkie Pie might have some unsaid feelings. I might have to talk to her about it. he Changelings have agreed to peace with Equestria. They have buried Chrysalis, and named a new Queen. I didn’t catch her name. Speaking of Changelings, Saralys has moved to Ponyville, and we are closer than ever. The residents of Ponyville took some convincing, but once they saw how nice Saralys was to Applebloom and the... CMC?... They came ‘round, and now she is accepted as one of us. Luna has been doing well with raising the sun and the moon while Celestia heals. Celestia and I had a really long talk a few days ago, and I let everything out. I told her everything I could remember, and then some. I told her about how I felt, and how I regretted killing those changelings, and I ended up in tears. She comforted me, and I left with a smile on my face. I have moved in with Rainbow, and Rarity joked that she would start planning our wedding... Or at least... I think she was joking... Never mind. I would gladly marry Rainbow, but I think she would be a bit overwhelmed if I started planning a wedding she hadn’t been told about. Haha. I still help AJ with Applebucking from time to time when her stallion isn’t at the bank. I help out Twilight with the Library every now and again. She tries to give me money every time, but I refuse, saying that I won’t accept payment from friends. She sulks every time. Rainbow doesn’t ask for rent; the first time I tried she refused to take it. Fluttershy and I have become good friends, and we go to the spa every week with Rarity. I just do it for something to do. I hate getting pampered, but when Fluttershy asked me if I would like to join them, she was smiling so widely it would have been like kicking Applebloom on her birthday --No, worse-- to say no. I have ben flying with Rainbow Dash every day, and I must say, it’s the highlight of my days, flying with her like that. I still have nightmares occasionally, but none of them involve Chrysalis. I just dream I’m back in that raid, and I try to think what I could have done differently... Then it all comes crashing down and I wake up in Rainbow’s strong hooves. She always wakes up and tries to comfort me when this happens. I don’t have nightmares every night, but when I do, it feels so nice to wake up with Rainbow hugging me. We made it public a few days ago. Me and her, that is. Somepony threw a tomato at her, but it was returned to sender at double the speed and ten times the age. The pony who threw it was a filly name Diamond Tiara. She’s been smelling like year-old tomatoes ever since, and I have heard her talking about moving away. Applebloom seemed happy about Diamond Tiara’s punishment. Everypony else has been really supportive. I was called out to Fillydelphia, Manehattan, and Appeloosa a few days after I left the hospital, and I went to clear up Discord’s spells, which were still running rampant without the Draconequus controlling them. But other than that, everything is settling down in the aftermath of Discord’s and Chrysalis’ attack. Just writing her name makes me want to hit something. But Celestia just said that I have to move on, and that the ‘hole in my heart would heal.’ This surprised me, as I hadn’t told Celestia about how I saw Chrysalis as a mother, but then again, she IS Princess Celestia. She seems to be learning how to walk again, slowly, but it might be a while before she can do it by herself. Every time I apologise to her, she just says I did what I had to do, and she thanks me. THANKS ME. For taking away her ability to walk, and her ability to fly. Anyway, I think I should wrap this up, as I can hear Rainbow calling me. She says we are going to go and meet the others at Sugarcube Corner for something to eat. It’s nice to finally have friends to count on. That’s it... The end.
