Epilogue
8 Years Later.
Another beautiful evening in Ponyville!
The sky was orange, the birds were slowly going to bed, and everything just seemed to be perfect today!
For Rainbow, she was returning home after a totally awesome day at work. She was a Wonderbolt now, spare time. It had taken a lot of hard work, a lot of negotiating, and one or two letters of recommendations from princess Twilight and princess Celestia, but she was in.
Now it wasn't something like her friends got her in, if Rainbow wasn't as skilled as she was, she would have never been able to convince Spitfire to let her join. Essentially she was a special member. She rarely did tours, and most of her shows were in the local areas. You would think that would damage her reputation, but in fact, it added a certain amount of mystic to her image that made her even more famous.
Though, Rainbow didn't care about that anymore, well a little, but it was no longer important to her.
Life had worked out great, and despite not getting her foalhood dream, she had found a new dream, something that was better. A Wonderbolt in her spare time, a flight teacher as her job, a loving husband, and a trouble maker of a foal. Yeah, Rainbow Danger Dash, a teacher? Imagine that..
Well, Rainbow actually liked teaching. While she wasn't book strong, she had plenty of experience, and that had made her a well liked teacher. Most of all though, she loved showing her foal all kinds of tricks, taking him flying, showing him the sky.
Now he was growing up, and she suddenly had a lot more work to deal with at home. Thankfully Doodle was good to keep order in the house, much more than she was.
So looking back at everything in her life, Rainbow decided she would not have changed a single thing.
Landing in front of her and Doodle's house, she was greeted by her dorky husband. He kissed her, and she kissed back. "How was your day?" He asked, smirking as he nuzzled her.
Rainbow laughed. "I'm sorry, but a mustache, really?"
"What?" He grinned. "I think it makes me look mature."
"Pffft!" Rainbow snorted, rolling her eyes and nuzzled her husband. "I don't think a simple mustache can do that." She chuckled, looking back at the house. "Where's our little trouble maker?"
"Oh, he's playing with Apple Heart." Doodle replied, nodding toward the upper floor. "Between us, I think your son has a crush on the filly."
Rainbow grinned. "Sounds like somepony else I used to know."
The two shared another kiss, when suddenly a colt called out. "Mom!" Both of them looked towards the house, and saw a Pegasus colt running towards his mother.
Rainbow smiled, lowering herself so she could embrace her son. "Hey, kiddo!"
"Did you kick some tail?!" He asked excitedly.
"Please, it's me, your totally awesome mom!" Rainbow grinned, hoof bumping her son.
"Yay!" He exclaimed, moving in and hugged his mother tightly.
Rainbow smiled gently, hugging her son back, only to then be joined by her husband. Closing her eyes, Rainbow felt a certain amount of peace wash over her. She had a family of her own, and it was like in that moment, their hearts were beating as one.
Would Rainbow change anything about her life?
No..
She had everything she could possibly want, and it was just perfect.
The End.
Thank you all for reading! And thank you all for the support and love you have shown this short story!

Gah, my heart!
This is too much for me ar 3:20 in the morning.
Thanks for this!
Heartwarming
A very touching and heartwarming end, but RD's kid doesn't have a name. I read through this chapter twice, and the only name I found was Apple Heart, who I assume is Applejack's or Big Mac's foal.
i feel a bit jalous... i think i need some grimdark now
Very nice resolution.
Apple Heart ehh? Curious. Very curious.
Nice... but I wanted to see what her parents would have said about the marriage and pregnancy lol
This was adorable

And then came the sequel comments. Or replies whichever you want to call them
I guess his name could be Dashing Noodles?
10720515
I smell a sequel!
What a great ending.
"Mom, I wanna be a big brother!"
Rainbow and Doodle looking at each other with a deep blush.
Now that's heartwarming and cute ! The kind of stuff to have silly smiles for

My feelings exactly
Wonderful work, and... i wasn't expecting the flutterwall of ynfiltra.
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Okay, but what does the little colt look like?
His name?
Nah, I'm kidding.
This was an amazing read! I really loved the way this story wrapped up!
Oh, and don't worry I'm putting this in a very special shelf....
Anyway, toodles!

A little late but I hope you like.
Gave the funny little guy the name “Tailspin” perhaps his colors in his mane swirl.

That's awesome. Mind if I use that in the sequel?
10723714
Certainly. Just site me...and Ship Applejack with Rockhoof... Jk. But for real. I will see about getting it colored.
10723736
Sweet, thank you!
*Claps repeatedly*
Well done! I didn't expect this to be as good as it is. It's very touching and I really like the characterization of Doodle, who I half expected to be a jerk instead of a lovable goofball like he was
.

It's his house. His being out of earshot would be abnormal.
Well this was a pretty nice story and it looks like Rainbow Dash is doing just fine and it looks like everything turned out pretty well for her in the end and no matter how hard it is she always have friends and family to back her up as I said before this was a pretty nice story keep up the good work
10723683
Aww that is an adorable drawing of them 🥰
A nice fun, awesome little story loved it from beginning to end
Love it
Heading into chapter 7, this story had been so incredibly good and well handled that I became worried that the last chapter could not possibly be as good as the rest; I took a week until I read it...
I need not have worried!
This type of delicate story is exceedingly difficult to carry off. How you handled that final interaction between RD and Doodle could have easily ended up being trite, hackneyed, unrealistic, or disappointing.
It turned out as awesome as its main character. You handled RD with amazing dexterity. You balanced her win-at-all-costs personality with her deep down need to earn the rewards in her life, and her loyalty to friends even at her own expense. The No-Yes dialog sequence combined with his foreshadowed backstory worked, worked well, and was concise without seeming too quick. Your setup for it worked like clockwork, yet you kept the beat of the comedy and drama up without compromising the believability of RD, Doodle, or RD's friends.
I would and will recommend this story to others. ⭐

Wow, I don't know what to say. That really means a lot to me to hear you say that. Thank you so much.

Earned. The story had heart, good characters, and said something in a delicate to fill space. I hope you branch out beyond fandom.
Me: *Laughs in Season 8*
Daw. This was a sweet, cute little fic.
I loved and enjoyed this.
Earned a spot on my All-Time favorites list!
