//------------------------------// // Visiting A Friend One Last Time // Story: A Rainbow In The Sky // by SobStory //------------------------------// After we picked up Pinkie Pie, we all did what was necessary, we went to go see Rainbow Dash. As we all finished placing down flowers on her grave, we decided to say a couple words. Twilight started us off, "We are all here today to remember Rainbow Dash. To all of us, Rainbow Dash made a big impact on all of our lives. Rainbow Dash always seemed a bit mean sometimes, but at the end of the day, she was a real, great and loyal friend. To some of us, it was more than just a friend. Rainbow Dash was one of the greatest friends you could ever ask for and I just know that she's watching over all of us, protecting us." She stepped down and Applejack was next. "One month ago, right after Rainbow Dash had passed, Ah knew Ah couldn't stay in Ponyville. Everywhere Ah went, it reminded me of Rainbow Dash, heck, at one point, every pony Ah saw was Rainbow Dash, same face and everything, I knew if I'd stay here, Ah'd just be sadder each and every day. So I did the most cowardly thing ever, I ran away, not just from my problems, but from my family and friends. To this day, that has been my biggest regret in life, what Ah did today is what Ah should have done one month ago. But now, Ah feel a whole lot better after today, and Ah would also like to Scootaloo, without her help, I wouldn't have done what Ah have done today so easy.. Scootaloo, Ah know to you, Rainbow Dash was the most important pony in all of Equestria, she was to all of us, but we'll always remember her, no matter what, she will always be our friend." As Applejack stepped down, I gave her a hug, close to Rainbow Dash, she was really cool too. After Rarity and Fluttershy spoke, it was finally Pinkie Pie's turn. I knew this was probably going to be the saddest speech, especially after that picture she showed us. "I knew today was going to be different, because today was the first day I smiled in a month. It was weird at first, my face even started to hurt, but I just knew it was because of her. That rainbow we all saw today was her saying hello, I know it sounds weird but I just know she's been with us all along, and once we got all together, she would show us how happy she was. We miss you, Dashie. We all love you, and one day, we'll all be together again, I don't know when, but I'll be waiting." She stepped down and we all gave her a hug. We all left that day, together. Even though we all moved on, it'd never be the same, not without Rainbow Dash. But no matter what, she'll always be my friend, my sister and my role model. I told Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom goodbye. I didn't go home, I stayed with Rainbow Dash, that night, I fell asleep with her. "Rainbow Dash, I love you. You've shown me plenty of things before in the past that made me who I am today, I just wanted to tell you that I will step up to your promise." At that moment, I stood and started to flap my wings, I was determined and kept pushing myself, until finally, I was off the ground. It was amazing! I was flying for real, this was the greatest moment of my life. As I got back down, I smiled and cried, but they weren't sad tears, they were happy tears. For the rest of the night, I slept happy, knowing I was sleeping with Rainbow Dash. When I woke up, I saw something spectacular. It was a rainbow in the sky, it was just like the one yesterday, only this one felt more special and bigger. I smiled and went to go see Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and we did what we usually did. Everything in Ponyville slowly came back to normal. The farm was doing great again, Fluttershy got all her animal friends back, even a new bunny which seemed nicer than Angel, Rarity's dresses were being bought by the second, but she still knew to spend time with Sweetie Belle a lot, and Twilight continued on with her studies here in Ponyville. Oh, and for Pinkie Pie? Well, that's a whole other story I'll tell you at some other point. Me, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle did managed to get our cutie marks at one point, it was great, my whole life was fulfilled, except for one final thing.. "This one is for you, Rainbow Dash," I leaped off the cloud and shot through the sky, once I was high enough, I rocketed down and kept going, my face started to hurt but I didn't care, I didn't stop, I wasn't going to, until finally I reached the sound barrier, and BAM!. I did what only one pony has done before. A Sonic Rainboom. Back in Ponyville, my friends congratulated me and we all threw a party. After the party, I went to go see Rainbow Dash, it's been 3 years now. For 3 years, I've been seeing Rainbow Dash every day, once in a while I even slept with her. I sure do miss her, but knowing she's still with me in my mind is good enough. I kissed the tombstone and walked away, turning back, I smiled and waved bye. I knew she was there. "See ya later Rainbow Dash." "See ya Scootaloo."
