There should be fireworks, at least, when a dream dies.
~Kirby Larson
Ty-Day used to be my favorite day of the year. I planned the Canterlot fireworks performance, timed to go off when the Wonderbolt's race ended. Every year, my Dashie would win that race, and I got to see her smiling face as she came back with a medal, proud to be alive.
But where did she go... was it something I said? Will she ever come back?
I have to find her. But how...? All I have is some dumb paper.

Looked over by Commissar Derpy Hooves (With positive feedback!), but this story does not have a formal proofreader (If anyone wants to take a stab! 
)
Chapters (1)
Oh oh oh! I'll take a stab at it! Pick me, pick me!
Man, that's really heart wrenching :-(
6692213 Well, I decided to take a short break from my usual comedic self
Glad I could tug at your strings, and thanks for reading!
6692256 Ya, I love Rainbow, so stuff like this always gets me. What Twilight felt will be similar to how I'll feel when the show is gone, taking RD with it. I'll have an even harder time letting go than Twi did.

I’m not surprised that it didn’t tug my strings that much, it just gave it a light strum. But it did strike a chord.
I’m sure that it’s common to lose someone you cared for, in war, especially.
Ok I cried and I never cry, lol XD
This story is amazing, just... What I needed. Awesome job ^

Thank you so much! I can't remember when the last time I came on FiMFiction was, nor when I did a story last...it's so wonderful to know that my stories still make people this happy two years later. It almost makes me want to start writing again!
Really, your comment did wonders on my day!
This was really good but...how dare you. I need to stop reading stories with the sad or dark tags right now it's not helping me.

Thank you kindly! It feels like forever since I've posted here (It has been!), so seeing that old stories like this are still getting recognition makes me really happy.
Plus, if you're not reading sad stories, are you even reading? 😉
