Rainbows and love letters
By: flat spin
It had been a couple of days since Spin’s death. Soarin and Dash had gotten a letter informing them that Spin’s remains had been found and identified. It was a rainy and dark day in the late autumn. Soarin looked at the casket.
“I guess this is it for a while… I guess I’m gonna see you when my time comes.” Soarin said and dropped a tear on to the casket. He then turned around and saw ponies walk towards him through the grave yard. Spin’s old squad, Derpy, Scootaloo, Dash and even some wonderbolts and other military officers come the grave yard despite the rain. They all gather around the coffin and the honour guard fired ten shots to the air. After the casket was lowered and buried Soarin, Dash, Derpy and Scootaloo stayed there looking at the grave stone. “Captain Spin, Brother, Uncle and a Hero.” Four of them just stood there in silence as the rain became heavier.
“This was not how I thought it would end… I always thought that I would be the one to go first.” Soarin said and turned to Dash.
“Spin was badass…” They could hear Blade’s voice come from behind them. “He knew what he was doing and if he wouldn’t have stayed behind and blown up the that weapons stash manually many more ponies would be dead.” Blade said and threw a rose next to the grave stone. “Spin did a lot of bad things in the name of good… he was a bad guy for the right reasons.” Blade said and started to walk away. “Like he used to say bad times don’t last… but bad guys do.” Blade said and smiled while looking at the heaven and walking away.
“I guess we should go too. No reason to get sick a week before our wedding.” Dash said and Soarin and Scootaloo nodded. “You coming Derpy?”
“No… i'm gonna stay here for a minute or two.” She said while trying to smile and hold back tears.
“Ok. don’t take too long dinner is in an hour.” Dash said as three of them walked away.
The rain was becoming heavier and heavier but Derpy just stood there until she picked two muffins from between her wing and her body and said.
“Muffin?” She said as tears started to run down her face. But she was smiling… she knew that Spin never said no to a free muffin… or a hug from her… or a kiss from her…
“You know what Spin… I have been thinking that after the wedding of your brother and Dash I might adopt a foal… since you had no parents I will give a home to someone that hasn’t got them either. But I will think it through after the wedding.” She said wiped off her tears and hugged the grave stone. “I love you.” She said and walked off.
“I love you too.”
