//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Acceptance At Last! (PART 2) // Story: Acceptance // by ElderBrony //------------------------------// ----------Back to Spike and his Marefriends--------- Spike and the 3 crusaders walked down the path through Everfree forest, planning to head back to Ponyville to protest for their rights. As soon as they were able to see a dim light in the distance, Spike bumped into something. "Ow..." said whatever Spike had bumped into, followed by Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. "Twilight? What are you doing here?" asked Spike, as he helped himself and Twilight up. "We were tryin' to find y'all and tell ya that we convinced the ponies in Ponyville to not discriminate against y'all for lovin' eachother." Applejack answered. "Wow! How did y'all do it, sis?" asked Apple Bloom, followed by nods of interest from her companions. "All we had to do was gain their attention and tell em' the TRUTH!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, doing a small trick in mid air. "Heh heh. I guess you could say that, Rainbow." Twilight chuckled. "That's so cool, Dash!" Scootaloo responded, looking at her mentor and (sort of) sister with wide eyes of appreciation. "I know, squirt." Rainbow Dash said with a laugh. "So are you finally going to be coming home?" smiled Rarity. "You bet, sis!" Sweetie Belle replied. "Then let's go everypony!" Spike said, smiling and heading for Ponyville, followed by his friends, and most importantly his Marefriends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When everypony got back to Ponyville, It was late at night. Spike gave Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle a kiss and said goodbye as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went home with their sisters and Scootaloo was taken by Rainbow Dash back to her parent's house. As Spike laid down on his bed to sleep later on, he thought of his 3 wonderful marefriends, and wondered what we be in store for them as their life together continued.
