//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Opposites Attract // by jsn2001 //------------------------------// I stood once more at the train station I was now VERY familiar with, along with Lucky Fields and Holy Cross. "Are you sure about this?" I asked. He nodded. "Ponyville will always be my home, but there isn't anything for me here. I'm going to live with Dusk in Appleoosa. I can work there." I sighed. Dusk, who we now know is actually named Braeburn, invited Lucky to live with him and work on his ranch. It was perfect for him, working with his own stallionfriend. I was happy for him. I hugged him one last time, and Cross joined in. "I'll miss you." she said sadly. Lucky stepped onto the train, looked back at us, and nodded, tears in his eyes. The doors closed, and off he went. I looked at Holy Cross. "Well...what now?" I asked. "Now we spend our lives together." she said, nuzzling against me. "I love you." I smiled. "I love you too." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Months Later I walked through the graveyard gate, and found the grave I visited most. Brushing the dirt off, the name Moonlit Dreams glistened in the moonlight. How ironic. I dropped flowers off. "Moony, thank you for showing me the way, but...you were right. It's time to let go. I'll never forget you, and I'm sorry, but...I don't need you any more. I can do this on my own." I walked away, back to my home. Where I lived with a beautiful mare, in a beautiful town, with wonderful family. I wasn't one of them- I still saw flaws in things most of all. It was my job. But the world was starting to seem like a much better, brighter place. I guess that's a good thing now.
