Chapter Eleven
“You must understand Rainbow Dash that, while not what you wanted, this is what must happen. I do not want to do this anymore than you do, but for the good of Equestria and Earth, we must close the portal to the human world. The only way for us to do this, however, is that you must willingly give up your magical abilities, and then I shall remove them. It will not hurt you, and you will still have the ability to control the weather as you did before, but the magic itself will leave you,” the large pony said to me. I stared her down, challenging her, daring her to try and take my magic.
“My magic, my rules. What’s wrong with a few clouds anyway? Sure they aren’t natural to your lands, but that doesn’t matter. Have your flying ponies clear the sky. I’ll even be willing to help, but I am going to see my dad again. There is nothing in either of these two worlds that will stop me, and you are no exception,” I sneered. I didn’t actually expect to talk her down, and the ruse I was putting on wasn’t going to hold much longer either. I knew what I was going to have to do, sooner or later.
After Zecora had given me that potion, I had been practicing the ability that brought dad to me earlier. While I know that I had used the ability, I felt drained like I did after seeing him for the first time in the middle of Zecora’s hut after doing the trick again very recently, right before these ponies showed up. I had thought that maybe he had come through again, but I had lost hope of this attempt after these ponies arrived. I was trying to stall so that I could activate the ability again, but it took a lot of energy. I have no idea if I could hold them off long enough to activate it again.
“Rainbow Dash, I am not your enemy here. The only enemy you have is fate. It is fate that had you ripped through time and space and transported to an alien world. It is fate that you were found and raised by that wonderful man,” she said, her tone getting softer, “it is...fate...that you must now give up all that you love and remember for the sake of both worlds to move on. Fate has chosen you for some, unfair and awful reason to give you love and friendship...twice, and then strip it away from you...twice.” She was almost whispering at the last sentence. I wanted to be selfish, I really did. At that moment, I wanted to tell that god pony to ram it up her snout and to leave me alone. I really did. I wanted to go to every single pony in the room and give them a beating they would never forget. I really did. But something was stopping me. Deep in my heart, I knew that I couldn’t do any of the above.
‘So this is the reason why I’m the element of loyalty,’ I thought to myself, forcing a shudder. I tried to put my defensive face back on, but I couldn’t. Not anymore. I couldn’t keep staring at the ponies in the room and tell them that their problems belong to them and them alone. This was the reason why I let them take me last time, I remember that now. That’s why I left without a struggle. Because I knew it my heart, it’s what I was supposed to do, not what I wanted to do. “No, no, I can’t...I belong with him,” I sputtered. I was on the verge of tears.
“Yes...yes you do, but you can’t be. That is why this is so unfair. That man, he raised you from a young filly. He did more than raise you, he turned you into the mare you are today. He taught you to speak, he taught you to bath, he taught you to fly, he taught you to...love,” she choked a little at that. She quickly regained her composure as best as she could. “That man, he not only shaped you into who you are today, he shaped you into who you will be for the rest of your life. I will openly admit that that man had a much bigger impact on you than anypony will ever have in your life. And now we must take that from you, so that we, not you, can be happy,” she said, losing her composure for real this time. A tear slowly fell down her cheek, “so that we, not you, may live in peace. And saying this out loud does not make it any easier, but, like you, fate has picked me...fate has picked me to destroy the beautiful memories of one of my subjects who were raised out of my sight and control. By anyponies standards, this is not fair, and I truly...so truly wish that this could be different, but fate is cruel. I will not say it again, but you know what must come,” she said, tears streaming down the side of her face.
I couldn’t respond. I couldn’t look her in the eye but I couldn't look away either. I sat there, in a state of limbo and raw emotion. I was stuck like a rock. I opened my mouth to speak, “I know...will I remember him? Will I remember any of this?” I asked between strained breaths. She shook her head slowly, tears flowing. I sat there, staring at the ground in front of me. Tears were sliding down my cheeks, following the wet paths of the ones before. “I...I...relinquish control of my magic, Princess Celestia,” I breathed. The Princess withdrew her head and turned to her pupil, who was almost distraught as I was. She headed towards me, her horn glowing. I thought hard once more, I thought of the letter I wrote dad, and the times we had shared. I thought of my first sonic rainboom, and the shattered windows that came with it. I thought of my first real NASCAR race, and shouting for all of the drivers, and seeing dad looking up at me, smiling. I remembered the times we cried together, the times we-.
***
Twilight’s horn reached Rainbow Dash’s head. There was a bright flash, and Rainbow was lifted off the ground and was held by an unknown force. Twilight backed away slowly and looked up to her mentor, who signaled her pupil to be steady. Rainbow’s body began to glow a vibrant cyan color, and her eyes turned to pure white, rays of light leaking out of it. The cyan energy began to seep out of the pegasus’s body, disappearing as it left. Several of the ponies of the group began to back up slowly, scared of what might happen, but none was willing to leave their friend for long. Another flash projected from Rainbow Dash’s body, temporarily blinding all who saw it. When they regained their vision, ahead of them lay a sleeping Rainbow Dash.
***
“Let’s get her to bed, for real this time,” the Princess said quietly, tears still in her eyes. She was not proud of what she just did, and she doubted she would ever forgive herself for it. She had taken the life of a pony, not created one. But Equestria needed the elements, and the two worlds were never meant to cross. She did it for the good of both worlds. She too was alone. She had her students, but that was strictly business. She had Luna technically, but they were still distant after the Nightmare moon incident. She had no one to love her for who she was, not what she was. She would never wish that upon somepony, and yet she did. She alone…alone made the decision to end the life and memories of one pony that was loved truly and deeply loved.
“Fluttershy, I would hate to ask you again, but could you be so kind and stay with Rainbow Dash again? I assure you this time that everything will work out quite alright,” the Princess said, still mostly lost in her thoughts. Fluttershy swallowed deeply, but nodded. The Princess let out a sigh, “thank you Fluttershy. This is all over, and I’m sorry to you all for putting you in that situation,” she said. The friends looked among each other and then back to their leader. They bowed to her, and her them, and with a push of her mighty wings, set off towards her home.
***
The door to Sugar Cube Corner swung open, and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash trotted in, laughing with each other. “Well, I guess I should run Pinkie, all of the others wanted to see me for some reason, well c’ya later!” Rainbow said to her pink friend.
“Oh ok, later Dashie!” Pinkie called to her, smiling. Rainbow shared the smile and trotted out. After Rainbow was out of ear shot of Pinkie, Pinkie let out a small sigh, “She didn’t even flinch when I said ‘Dashie’...”

Excellent story bro, but my heart still feels torn out, and shredded. I'd recommend fixing that quickly.
Happy storywriting!

Biggest thing I can think of is, would the Elements even work now?
Her memories are now implanted memories. Not her real ones.
If this is similar to the ending I'M GOING TO KILL PEOPLE.
Rainbow better see her dad again or you will regret it
Story still is under "incomplete" status, so there will be another chapter i guess ?
This sequel has already accomplished its purpose : lifting the doudts about what happened after the end of the original story and reaching a point where characters are at peace.
So this could end here, but i really want to see more at the same time.
hope to see more!
great chap! but it better not be the last!
Glad to see you all hate our guts! That means we are doing a good job!
Right..? :D
~Athanix,
Peace.
103180
I don't think that's a good thing... *searches for pitchfork and torch*
103180 you are right
Now for this chapter
This chapter is sad in 3 big lvls
1. Is sad because dash won't remember his dad or the human world
2. Because of all the happy moments lost
3. Because if she didn't remained in equestria with her powers, her dad would problaby be dead
Now excuse me but manly tears must be shed with manly manliness
Great story so far it really tugs at the heart! it got even sadier since i was listening to come with me from jay sean i almost cried
A really touching and emotional chapter. I surely do hope for a dramatic ending of the story, but not on this critical level.
The ponies have enough happiness and friends anyways, the dad doesn't have anyone to love. and what does Celestia do? Takes fifteen years of her life away. Trollestia strikes again!
103232 Not to mention the catastrophic ending of two worlds.
But yeah..! Trollestia..!
This didn't make me sad... IT MADE ME FUUUURRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIOOOOUUUUUUUUS!
If you end it here I am going to bucking kill you.
103042 *throws table*
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo continue it puh-lease
103240 Catastrophic ending of two worlds? Meh, that's just a minor thing. LOVE OVERCOMES EVERYTHING!
*knock* *knock*
Celestia: Who is it?
*Slams door open*
*cocks shotgun*
Any last words?
Hey guys, I would hate to ask, but how do you set the status of a story to complete? I can't figure it out?
this better not be finished!!!
Rainbow needs her memorys back and to see her dad again
make it happen.
>> ty500600
Please tell me you're joking
103393 No seriously, idk how to do it.
103402img703.imageshack.us/img703/2558/liesk.jpg
Does that means we are winning...?
102924 Probably. Memories are just context, and Rainbow Dash appears to be similar enough across the two incarnations so that she would not reject them.
>>Ty500600 then I'm sorry, but this has to be done
*Stabs Ty and takes over control of the fanfic*
Rainbow Dash put on a good act for Pinkie. She seemed to think that she actually didn't remember the last 15 years of her life. Rainbow finally did what she'd been trying to do for a long time. She opened the portal and went back to Earth. Then she and her dad spent the rest of their lives together and they were happy. THE BUCKING END.
I loved My Little Dashie the beginninjg And now I love this story the first one put tears in my eye's and so has this one I thank you good sir.....
103354 NONONONONO PLEASE.
I NEED A HAPPY ENDING.
PLEEEEEAAAASE
103354 Manage stories -> Your story -> Edit story. There will be a selection.
-stares at angry mob with pitchforks and torches and runs away-
103445 beautiful. i think the author could take a lesson from you on happy endings.
haha
103505 I agree with you completely>>103445 Sir that was a great ending...but to your own fan fiction now. Congratulations! You wrote your own fan fic!!!
Oh good its still incomplete, can you please make the ending at least slightly happier than "My Little Dashie"?
>>Ty500600
No I mean I hope you're joking about ending this FanFic.
okay, heres how you set it to complete. You write 20 more chapters and give a good ending and the thing will magically become finished. Done. hope it helped!
103638 One can always hope cant they?
>> ty500600 What demonat865 said.
103683 And besides you kinda need to conclude about what happend with the dad after Chapter 10.
Well, I'm hoping this isn't the ending, but if it is, I honestly feel kinda cheated. In my eyes, there was really no reason to write a sequel in my eyes unless it were to end differently from the original. In my mind, this sequel didn't, they are both (Dashie and Dad) where they technically would've been if the first time Dash was taken away had been successful. This fic (If it is finished, but damn that incomplete tag XD) was well written, planned out, and wonderfully executed, but I have to say if this is the ending it kinda ruined it for me to be honest. Regardless, this is simply my opinion, and you did a wonderful job writing this fic. 5 Stars, my friend, 5 Stars.

VERIFY/TARGET: PRINCESS CELESTIA

IFTARGET=PRINCESS CELESTIA > EXEC FIRE
ELSE SETTARGET=PRINCESS CELESTIA; EXEC SUB "FIRECONTROL"
My first thought upon seeing this fic: Hey a sequel and a promise of closure for all!
*reads this chapter then reads the comments*
Oh hohohoho! That ty500600, what a card! Imagine writing a whole fic around the premise of closure for all and then have the human get his loved one taken away from him not once but twice and then have Rainbow Dash get her mind erased a second time ensuring that aside from his memories of her, the human won't be remembered by his beloved Dashie at all.
At this point I'm starting to see the ponies as evil. Have two individuals who love each other as parent and daughter very much, but screw that status quo is God and Spike quite frankly sucks as the new Rainbow Dash, so we're gonna brainwash ya again after we guit-trip you out of your new portal powers.
Still waiting for the closure. As is Dad gets screwed, RD gets brainwashed and the Mane 6 and Celestia only have to sniffle a bit..........Yeah I'm quite actively hoping something changes because as is it's ending the exact same way as the original fic. So far all this has accomplished is twisting the knife on the father and the fans.
Overall I must say to this being the last chapter: You're kidding. You're kidding, right? If so
Though I have a feeling any subsequent chapters would just be this:
*Goes to Canterlot Castle, breaks down the door, and a few minutes later, arrive in throne room*
Walks up to a wide eyed Celestia and says:
mychinaconnection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/go-ahead-make-my-day1.jpg
"Any last words?"
She looks behind me and sees the bloody bodies of the guards on the ground, and a bead of sweat rolls down her forehead
"This is for that poor pegasus and her father that toy seperated"
*BANG*
Well then Ty, I have one question to ask you, do you feel lucky, punk?
PLEASE continue the story (even thou this realy sounded as the last chapter)
