// To See The World

Rarity leaned over their apartment's balcony, letting the autumn breeze blow her purple mane around. The love of her life stood beside her, one columbia blue wing draped over her back. She loved autumn in Canterlot, golden leaves matching the pinks and whites of the buildings all around her. 

Though one had to wonder...what was autumn like in Griffonia, or Zebrakistan, or Cloudsdale? Griffonia had little to no trees, so they wouldn't have any gorgeous warm-colored leaves blowing about and getting stuck in their feathers. Zebrakistan didn't have that pleasure, either, since they didn't have the special kind of trees that Equestria had. Their trees were more like bushes. She hadn't actually seen Zebrakistan ever, but she'd seen pictures. And one of these days, she would see the real thing.

They had been saving. They had been packing. They had been dreaming. She and Rainbow were going to see the whole world someday, and if all went well, that day could be in a month or two. 

"Just think about it, Rares." Rainbow broke the wondering silence. "There's a whole world out there, waiting for us." 

Rarity chuckled. "Watch out, Zebrakistan." 

"I know, right!? We're going to take all those places by storm." Rainbow fluttered her wings. After four years of being together, Rarity knew that meant Rainbow Dash was excited. Very excited. She was too. 

Just a few more months, and they would be flying, flying, flying far away, where boundaries were nonexistent. 

Just a few more months, and they would be free. Just the two of them. 

No rules, no walls, no rooms. 

All there would be was Rarity and Rainbow Dash. 

Alone, far from home. 

But somehow, that thought didn't scare her.
