Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
“Where do I see myself in ten years?” Twilight Sparkle remarked.
“That's right,” Rarity said with a nod.
“Well...” The unicorn tapped her chin. Having long dried of the rainbow-tinted spring water, the seven mares lay on the grass alongside Winsome Falls. A royal sunset melted into the horizon, cascading rosy light over their figures as they casually stared at the blossoming stars above. “It's always been a big dream of mine to teach at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.”
“Honestly, Sparkle?” Trixie remarked.
“Honestly.” Twilight sighed with a dreamy smile on her face. “So many of the professors and teachers there are my heroes.” She gulped. “None like Celestia, y'know... but... pffft... not like I'd ever become a princess.” She stifled a yawn. “Besides, being a Princess sounds boring.”
“Do speak for yourself, darling,” Rarity said.
“I thought I just did,” Twilight droned.
“I may not be of royal blood.” Rarity smirked from ear to ear. “But that doesn't mean I can't marry into the court.”
“Ah jeez.” Applejack rolled her eyes.
“Scoff if you must! But out there somewhere, my handsome prince is waiting for me!” She sighs long and soft. “And in ten years time, I see myself strolling by his side along a lush garden, enjoying some quality romantic time together before I go back to my bustling boutique.”
“Huh?!” Pinkie glanced upside down at her. “Wouldn't you give-up the boutique if you marry a prince?”
“Pffft! Are you joking, Pinkie?! After all those ballgowns I'd be exposed to?! I'd have to step up my game!”
“Well I would love to go on tour and give parties to allllll the ponies in Ponyville!” Pinkie grinned wide. “I'd have my own party wagon with my name on it!”
“Eugh...” Trixie grumbled. “Good luck with that.”
“Well what about you Miss High and Mighty Lulamoon?” Applejack remarked.
“Trixie, of course, is going to be a grand wizard in Canterlot!” The mare blinked. “Or Manehattan. Or Trottingham. Or wherever else they'll have Trixie!”
“Pffft...” Applejack fought the urge to giggle. “And yer wishin' Pinkie Pie luck?”
“What about you, Apple horse?”
“Eh... workin' on the farm, of course.”
“Do I detect an air of regret?”
“Eeenope!”
The other mares laughed.
Fluttershy giggled. “I... uhm...” She smiled rosily. “...would love to have my own foals.”
“In ten years, darling?” Rarity remarked.
Fluttershy shrugged. “Why not? The longer I choose to enrich my life, the better.”
“Oh lawd...” Applejack facehoofed. “Please dun tell me who yer plannin' on havin' kids with.”
“Heeheee...” Fluttershy winked. “If you insistttt...”
“What about you, Dashie?” Pinkie asked.
The other six heads pivoted about, colorful eyes blinking.
Rainbow stared up at the forming stars. She inhaled. “Where will I be in ten years?”
“Lemme guess.” Twilight smirked. “With the Wonderbolts.”
“Woohoo!” Pinkie cheered.
“Maybe...” Rainbow shrugged. “Maybe not.”
“Well...?”
“Wherever I am... so long as it's... it's with friends...” Rainbow gulped. “Then I'm pretty sure I'd be happy...” She glanced over. “Y'know?”
Fluttershy smiled sweetly at her.
“Well, I couldn't agree more,” Twilight said.
“Dang straight, sugarcube.”
“Hear hear!” Rarity chirped.
“Mmmmm... yes...” Trixie folded her forelimbs. “Friendship isn't so bad, Trixie thinks.”
Twilight and the others glanced at her.
She rolled her eyes. “But you did not hear that from Trixie!”
“Don't worry, girl!” Pinkie stuck her tongue out. “What happens in Winsome Falls stays at Winsome Falls!”
“Heeeheehee!”
“Hahaha!”
“Heh heh heh...”
“Mmmmm...” Rainbow Dash hugged herself. Her smile was ever so slightly vacant as she murmured. “Yeah...”

It's always calm before the storm
...I still feel like this is all a front...
heh.
heh he he he heh.
heh.
Ah. the old stepford smiler, she's hurt, but she's masking it with a smile.
...wouldn't Rarity say something more like 'jocular'?
My Little Trixie: Friendship isn't so bad
Fluttershy's gonna need a good set of hips if she wants to pop out Big Mac's progeny.
Well, unless she takes care of herself properly (not disregarding her condition, for example...), Rainbow could be dead in 10 years.
6825591 A condition that she's still keeping from her friends, I might add.
Wonder how they, and most especially a certain blonde farm-pony would (will?) react if (when?) the find out about that?
6825670
Welp, push the PANIC button.
I'll be happy as long as she's not sending Scootaloo off to college in ten years.
6825670 I feel like it's a matter of when they find out about her condition, it's been very significant in the story so far, it would seem really cheap if it was just shoved under the rug. The same thought goes if the story doesn't end up with aj and rd being a couple, although I am %100 convinced they will get together.
"In ten years, I will have traveled around the world, flying always eastwards."
At this rate? Probably hiding in a bush and blushing in Applejack's general direction.
It's my headcanon that Dashie will probably be stuck in a hospital if not dead in ten years, due to the implied rate of advancement of her illness. Desperately hoping I'm wrong, mind, but that appears to be what my head is warning me about.
6825591
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is desperately worried about that.
6825573 Hahahahaha holy fuck that made my day.
6825679 Yep.
6825932 Indeed, and very well put.
6825591
And here I was going to complain about all the progress we had gotten on this little trip being erased...but man your comment brings things to a whole new level of depressing.
Seen in that light, perhaps this trip isn't so much about her trying to get with Applejack as it is more her making peace with her life and enjoying the time she has left.
6825670
Sadly, they will probably react in the exact manner that Rainbow fears they will, which won't help the situation. The exception to this being maybe Twilight, who will obsess over trying to find a cure or a way to fix it - only to find there is none. I don't think Rainbow will intentionally tell her friends about her condition. Only when she's forced to, when her condition gets so bad that they notice, will she tell them.
6828158 Hmmm, you're probably right.
On all counts.
*eye roll*
