	____________________________ 3 Years Later____________________

I put everything behind me on that day. Looking at the horizon from our cloud house, I saw a familiar figure fly up to greet me. 

"What's up, Darkside!" I yelled.

He looked panicked, "Something happened. Something bad."

"What?"

"Fluttershy's pregnant."

"That's bad? That's a good thing!"

"I just don't know if I'm ready to be a father. I mean, I raised someone, and look where she is..."

"It wasn't your fault fate decided she had to go. Dude, you were an amazing guy. You cared more about her than anybody ever did. You're more than ready."

"You think?"

"I know." I grinned at him, "Besides, who wouldn't want to have me as an uncle!"

"But you're not even my brother!" He said, smiling.

"So? Nobody knows that!"  We both busted up laughing. Even though we had put her behind us, I still missed her laugh. Her smile. But there was no point to that.

"Well, get going. You have a pregnant woman to care for!" I said. He nodded in reply.

"We're gonna meet again, aren't we?" 

I nodded.

I went inside the house again. I sat on the couch and cried silently. That whole scene made me miss her more than I had for the past few years. After a few minutes, I wiped my eyes. I heard someone knocking.

"Uh, B?" It was Rainbow.

"Yeah, Babe?"

She opened the door, "I was wondering, if I signed some papers, could someone live with us?"

I sighed, "Yes, Scootaloo can stay."

"How'd you know?"

"I saw how she looked a little foresaken when nobody was with her on that day."

Scootaloo's head popped in, "Really? You mean it?"

"Of course!" I smiled.

She ran in and hugged me. I hugged her back.

That was the final straw. I too, had a family to look after now. Even though I was a little young, I could manage. Besides, I had a promise to uphold.

Yeah, Darkside. We Will Meet Again.
