    Nopony knows very much about the afterlife, and all Rainbow Dash knows is that she wants to fly just one more time.

    Is good!  Last fic I read had 200 thumbs-up, and was not as good as this one.  I also recommend How to do a Sonic Rainboom by bookplayer.

    Very sweet. I love it. I love a good end-of-life fic that isn't sad. (That one that Bad Horse mentioned non-withstanding.)

    Liked, faved, and I'll keep an eye out for more from you. :ajsmug:

    Hm. Seems very coincidental that I start watching you, then you drop a serious story of this caliber - am I lucky? Or is it for a more sinister reason... I mean, Bookplayer and Bad Horse being here too? Wow. On a totally different tangent, ever watched the anime "Night on the Galactic Railroad"? Just do it - you'll get the relevance.

    Mulder and Skully wish they would be so worthy!

    I implore that you write more for us, Dusty! I'll give you my favorite yo-yo! Just think about it!

    I was trying to avoid all but the slightest traces of Sad.  Which explains, I suppose, why it begins after the service.  I think I was reasonably successful.

    Short and sweet.  Scoots finally gets a chance to show her stuff (even if there is mechanical assistance). :scootangel:

    Rainbow Dash is off to a better place.:rainbowlaugh:

    This piece of fiction made me feel things I cannot simply put into words.

    This is a masterpiece, I only can only hope to measure up to you, Dusty. Cheers! :pinkiehappy:

    Two  :pinkiehappy:  in two consecutive comments.  High praise indeed.

    Considering I wasn't sure I had even one story in me, I'm surprised to find there was room for a second.

    This is here mostly to remind myself to look at this stuff once in a while.

    Thanks.  I am perhaps inordinately fond of this story, which is the only one I've written that didn't involve several hours of soul-searching: it just flowed from the start and I was lucky enough to catch the best parts.

    I sent this through I Write Like, which tells me that I write -- in this instance, anyway -- like Anne Rice.  Izzatso?

    Just re-read this. Forgot to comment the first time, so I will now. This was very well done. Good execution, and an even greater concept. You really nailed down Dash's character into a nice literary package. I think this'll be my feature fic of the week on my page. More people should read this one.

    Thanks.  I had some doubts about it originally -- the theology, if such it be, is vague, and who ships Applejack with Pinkie Pie? -- but everything seemed to come out all right.
