It took about three months for me to recover from the tragic loss of Fleetfoot. It didn't really hit me that he was dead until a week after he had actually died. I had told Rainbow about it and she tried her best to comfort me about it. Fleetfoot and I had known each other since we were fillys and we always got along. Having the memory of him dying at your own hooves was burned into my memory to the point that I couldn't let it go. The funeral was taking place at the wonderbolts academy. We all had special black uniforms on when friends and family started to gather for him. As his casket was carried through the main walkway, all the wonderbolts had their heads down. We all looked at the floor with out goggles off. As his casket reached the front of the room, we all looked up and saluted. As Spitfire talked about Fleetfoot, I sat down next to Rainbow and kept my head down. I felt her hoof on my back, but I was still looking down. One by one, the wonderbolts were walking up and saying their memories of him and all he had done. When I had to go up, I slowly rose, and I walked down the walkway with my head still looking down at the floor. I got to the podium and put my front hooves on it and cleared my throat.
"Fleetfoot was an amazing pony that I will never forget. He was the fastest pony on the wonderbolts and was a true friend. In that room, when he was...killed, he took the hit for me. I should have been the one that got hit, but instead, he made a noble act and saved me from certain death. For that, I thank him." I said. I turned and looked at his casket. "I miss you buddy. You really saved me and I could not be more grateful for what you have done for me, friend. You truly deserve the title of Wonderbolt and hero." I said as I looked at him. I could hear one pony in the crowd start crying. I walked up in front of his casket and saluted him for the last time. As I stood there saluting, four ponies flew over us and did the "pony down" ceremony. The four flew over us and when they came directly over the crowd, one of the four flew up, symbolizing that Fleetfoot had ascended from us. I walked down the walkway and sat back down. Rainbow looked at me and hugged me. I hugged her back and tried to hold back the tears from leaving my eyes. When we finished hugging, I kissed her. We stayed there for the rest of the ceremony and left soon after. It took me a couple of days just to recover from just the funeral.

"Hey Soarin, check this out." Rainbow told me. I was upstairs as I heard her say this.
"Yeah what's up?" I asked her. She had a newspaper in her hoof. She gave it to me and I looked at the main story. "Luna and Celestia come to agreement to end war, Equestria no longer split." I read to myself. I started to smile and I saw the picture of them both signing the document. I chuckled and hugged Rainbow Dash. "I'm so glad that war is over, now I can spend all my time with you, and our child of course." I said as I laughed. She giggled and smiled at me. We kissed again then, I walked over to the couch and she jumped on me and we both fell on the couch and started making out. I could tell that everything was finally the way it should be in Equestria. When we kissed again and again, she gave me assurance that things would be better. I was just filled with happiness and absolute joy and I could see just pure bliss when I looked into her eyes. "You know, you have the most beautiful eyes?" I told her, she just giggled and kissed me again. "I hope our baby has your eyes, he or she would look beautiful with them." I said to her. After I said this, I laughed and she just looked at me happily.
"Actually it is babies, Soarin." She corrected me. I stopped laughing and looked back at her. I slowly built up a smile and wrapped my hooves around her neck and continued making out with her again.
"I love you so much Rainbow, and I know we will make awesome parents. Especially you." I said to her as I smiled. She just blushed and I kissed her on the cheek. She got up and I got off the couch. "We should probably visit my mother and tell her you are going to have kids. She will flip out I just know it!" I said to Rainbow. She nodded and I put my wonderbolt uniform on. She put on a dress I had bought for her and we had a chariot take us to Canterlot. When we had arrived, Canterlot was back to normal. There was no extra security or feeling of discomfort at all. We both walked to the castle and went inside. When we got to the main room, only Celestia and Luna were there.
"Ah Soarin, what brings you to Canterlot?" She asked. Rainbow and I bowed to her.
"We are here to see my mother actually." I replied to Celestia. She just nodded and Luna walked forward and Luna and I hugged.
"Hello my son. What is it you need?" She asked me. I looked at Rainbow, then back at Luna.
"Well Luna, you already know my girlfriend, Rainbow." I said. Luna nodded and looked at Rainbow. "Well, she is pregnant and we are going to have twins! You will be a grandmother." I said to Luna. Her eyes opened wide and she just laughed and hugged me and Rainbow.
"You have made your mother very proud, Soarin. This time I will not leave their side. This is just so exciting." She said. Celestia walked up and congratulated us both. Luna and Rainbow were talking. This was the first time I saw my mom acting like a little filly because she was so excited. While I watched them talk. Celestia walked up next to me and smiled gently. I just looked at her, then back at Rainbow and Luna. I looked out of one of the windows. I walked toward it and proceeded outside though the balcony. I just looked out into Canterlot. I was proud of what I had done and all the accomplishments I had archived. I just chuckled to myself as I thought about it. I went from nothing, to the academy, to the Grand Galloping Gala, to assisting Celestia overthrow Doom, to helping prevent a war between the royal sisters from getting any worse than it had. I had to say, I exceeded my expectations for myself. After doing all that, and gaining massive respect from Celestia, and learning my mother was Luna. I knew that I had become what I had dreamed of since I was a filly. I was now considered not only a wonderbolt, but a "Fabulous Wonderbolt."
