Ponyville has grown up. It's not the same town it was.
And yet the same old ponies are still there, remembering how things used to be.
Maybe it's time to finally move on?

An entry for My Little Story Speedwriting Contest #6.
"If that doesn't get put on fimfic I'm hunting you down.
That one got me the most, from all these submissions.
And I'm honestly devastated it didn't make second round.
Also Drider, you can quote me on your fic."

I would have voted for this to win, and I mean that. So much better than my entry. Don't know what happened. Only Gardez came close to beating this and he didn't stick to the prompt imo.
Stellar piece.
That was a sobering read. Well done but sobering.
Very good
Well. That was a well-made punch to the gut. Excellent bit of slowly dawning revelation.

Well I did tag it as sad.
I did tag it as sad, right?
Oh I really hope I didn't accidentally tag this as a comedy.

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it.
I guess I just had a bit of bad luck that day.
Wonderful. I suspected something like the ending early on, but slowly revealing that I was right was still really well done.
I didn’t find this so much sad as bittersweet. Rarity is right, it’s time. And Now they can finally be reunited with the others. Not so much an end as a new beginning. And it’s not like the family won’t join them some day.
Goddamn you, I wasn't supposed to be crying this early in the day.
There comes a time where we must leave the life we lived and depart for a new one...and for you and Rarity that time has come upon you Applejack...

I'm totally adding the romance tag to this in my head.
This is a very driven short story. It was very obvious that they were dead already. And I've read another story where with a similar premise where they are departing a train.
Still though, nicely done!
"Precisely, darling. And admirably so. But it's time."
I kind of thought so. :) Very nice.
This was more sweet than sad. Thanks for it.
Lovely story.
With a beautiful ending. I would have hate if they were stuck there. Moving on and letting go are some wonderful feeling sometimes.
Also, reading this gave me the motivation to finally post the story I've been working on for so long ago. As a thanks for the memories the show gave me.
That way, I won't have regrets when my time will come.
This hits close to home. I'm not quite ready to accept yet that things change and one day I'll have to let go, too, but alas, such is life. Poignant and well-written, well done.
