A/N: Looking back, if you are inclined to read this fic, I'd suggest only reading the first chapter. Maybe the last too if you want to, but most the in between is pretty bad.

Everypony thinks Rainbow Dash is responsible for their cutie marks. They are right in a way, but also wrong in a way. What were to happen if one little filly was braver, or another wasn't late to the party? The slightest push changes history, in ways nopony could have ever expected.

Originally I had so many different ideas of where I could go that I decided just to go with this first part and let the readers imagine what would go one afterwords. If there is actually some demand for a follow-up, I guess I could choose on of those ideas though.

After a week of mulling over different ideas for the aftermath that I've gotten a few calls for, here is the second chapter of Rainboom. I hope these aftermath chapters go of better than the last time I tried it.

I wanted to do this as three chaps and an epilogue, but as I'm going to be largely internetless for a week, I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing if I couldn't finish on time.

Okay, I had hoped to get this monstrosity out before I left, but that obviously didn't happen. Two week without internet cut down on my ability to write this, followed by a week of not getting any time to sit down and write. Then my AC broke, so I couldn't stay in the house as it was almost 100 degrees for half a week.

HOWEVER! I refuse to let my projects die, and so here is the final main chapter of Rainboom. There is a denouement to come, hopefully later today, and perhaps more after that.

Thank you all for your patience and our time~

Thank you to everyone who had the patience for my little story that erupted a lot larger than I thought.
Leaving this as incomplete because I have one more plot string left to cut...

Huh? :derpyderp2:

I read this whole thing and I'm not sure if I understand just how Discord plays into all of this. Could you elaborate for me please? And I assure you, I did not skim this whole fic.

942170 Discord caused the alternate universe by overpowering his prison for a brief moment and discording Fluttershy long enough to stop the Pegasus race. Only Celestia, who had put him there, suspected something was wrong. He was using his chaos to try so the Mane Six wouldn't find the Elements, so Night Mare beats Celestia and the destruction of the Elements releases him.

The original idea was just chapter one, but I got a number of requests to finish it, and so I felt I needed a good enough reason to continue it.
The story works as a one-shot, as the 5 chapters, or as the whole story. The type of story can change based of the chapters though

Ah, now it makes sense. I mean, that outburst Fluttershy had is very similar to the one in Dragonshy, so I didn't make the connection.

Though sorry if this is getting annoying, but I can't think of what Twilight's remembering off of the top of my head. If the answer to this is in plain sight, then I'm gonna feel very stupid.

942347 Not at all, let's me know if I need to make things clearer.

And if you mean by what Discord's threatening, she would remember the old timeline, so she would simultaneously believe she was rejected and accepted to Celestia's school, would remember Spike despite him being nowhere to be seen, etc, driving her mad.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't directly want to say it cause to me it would've made no sense. Though I can see where this is going...:pinkiecrazy:

Though the story is complete, so what happens later is open to interpretation.
