//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Wishes do come true // Story: My Little Dashie: We will never be apart // by Shadicbro Brony //------------------------------// Chapter 5: Wishes do come true A full agony week flew by for Dash after her outburst with her friends and Celestia. The young pegasus became more distant than before with her friends. Not even Pinkies parties was any help for her. All she does now, is barely eat, shower and mostly sleep through the day. She never bothered to return to work after last week with her friends, and she didn’t bother if she was gonna get fired the day she would go back. None of it mattered to her. All she wants is her daddy. “I want my daddy....” she whispered over and over again. The pegasus was in her bed, locked up tight, preventing anypony from entering. She was in a stage of emotion she might never break out of. Her eyes were droopy, swelling and red from her crying the past week. What felt like hours, which was only a few minutes, Rainbow fell asleep once more. (Rainbow’s dream) Eyes opened as the cyan pegasus saw herself in a dark room, no walls, no windows, only pitch black darkness around the area of light where she  stood. “H...hello?” She was scared, and didn;t know what to do. Soon, soft echos of hooves of some sort were heard around her. “A...anypony there?” The echoes of hoofs grew louder and faster, swelling her with fear. She didn’t know what was happening, but craved for protection and comfort. Then, a small but comforting voice was heard behind her, one that made her freeze up. “Dashie?” Her head slowly turned. Her eyes brimming with tears. The thing behind her….was her father. “DADDY!” She screamed at the top of her lungs, tears escaping like a flash flood. Her feet moved on their own, as she ran to her father. He too ran to her, both slipping and falling, but neither stopped for anything. Close enough to each other, her dad dropped to his knees, Dash tackling him into a tight embracement, sobbing her heart out, as he hugged her tightly. She can finally feel it. All of it. His warmth, his love, his protection. She truly missed it all, and now...she can feel it once more. “I missed you daddy.” Rainbow whimpered, nuzzling into his chest deeply. “I miss you do Dashie.” He replied, a huge relief in his calm voice, it was as if he can finally be at rest. Rainbow kept her grip on him, never wanting to let go or be released from this welcoming warmth of love and happiness. “But why….?” “Huh?” Confusion ripping in her mind by his question. “Why did you leave me?” His question struck her deeply, as if he was hurt that she had to go home and leave him in his now depressed life. “Daddy they force me.” She tried to reason with him, but then things got worse. He flew back, away from her hug like he was a ghost, his eyes no longer warm brown like she knew, but frightened when she saw a red liquid substance dripping from his eyes. “You left me, Dashie. You left me to die alone.” He spoke in a dead full saddening emotionless tone. “I didn’t mean to daddy. I didn’t mean to.” She started crying again, hearing his words piercing her heart. “I’m alone...like I always am, everything I love abandons me!” He cried in agony and pain. Rainbow sobbed and tried to run for him, but then black vines shot out from the darkness, holding a tight grip on her, preventing her from getting close to him. “Daddy I didn’t mean to! i WANTED to stay with you!” She tried to crawl and break away from the vines, but they held a firm grip on her. “I have nothing left to live for...nothing.” To her horror, her father pulled out the 44 magnum she’s seen before and pulled it onto his neck, point blank. “DADDY NO!” BANG!!! (Reality) “DADDY!!!” Rainbow jolted up in fright, awakening from her nightmare. Her breathing heavy and thick, tears flowing from her eyes. It was frightening, seeing her father killing herself in front of her. It felt like it was her fault. She should have stayed with him. If so, he wouldn't be in this level of depression and loneliness. A whimper escaped her throat, before she curled into a ball, sobbing her heart out, her wings wrapped around her in hope for comfort, but nothing can give her the comfort her body and heart craved. “Daddy...I miss you so much.” *** I awoken from a horrible nightmare. It was nightfall during this time. I was with Dashie, and I was reunited with her at last. I felt her, her hug. It was so warm. I truly missed it. But then...something surged in me. I saw myself crying...blood. Vines gripping my daughter as they were keeping her away from me. I tried to regain control, but nothing. I then pulled my gun out...and killed myself in front of her. Her cries, her screams echoed in my mind. I felt so horrible. I never wanted to hurt her, let alone abandon her like that. I was in so much agony. I cried in my knees, as I was desperate for her love and warmth that I missed dearly in my heart. The past week for me has been rough...very rough. Everything up to this point...was pushing me to my bridge of death, but each day and night, Dashie kept me going. I needed her so much. I didn't care about anything in this world. All that mattered to me, was seeing Dashie again. I looked up at the moon, wiping my tears as I sat up. “Dashie….My little Dashie….I miss you so much….please...if you can hear me...come back to me...I need you.” I whimpered in agony, as I felt my heart pour so much emotion in those words. *** “Dashie...My little Dashie….I miss you so much….please...if you can hear me...come back to me...I need you.” She heard his voice once more. He was calling out to her. His voice was far more broken than she remembered. He was starting to lose his fight to live on. It broke her so badly. “Daddy?” Her eyes looked up at the moonlight in the night open skies. “I can’t do this anymore...I miss you everyday...all the time, I can still remember your love and joy….I should have stopped them...I should have kept you with me...I made a mistake of letting you go...please...my little Dashie...come home to me….come back to daddy...please..I need you.” His words struck her deeper and deeper. He sounded so lonely, in need of her love and happiness. Tears flowed from her rosy eyes. A sob escaping her throat. She can’t take it no longer, to hear her loving father in this much agony and pain. Her hoof reaching for the moon and stars above, as if she’s trying to reach for an invisible portal to reach his world again. “Daddy if you can hear me i miss you.” *** I heard it again. Her beautiful voice. It pained me to hear it, but it sparked me with signs of hope. “My little Dashie...I wish for us to be together again...I can't live without you...I can’t...please, my only wish in all of existence...is to be with you...together and forever...” I softly spoke with tears flowing. *** “My little Dashie...I wish for us to be together again...I can't live without you...I can’t...please, my only wish in all of existence...is to be with you...together and forever...”  It was a wish from her father. The same wish she ever desired as well, the same night she saw that shooting star. She had that wish, to be with him once again and grow up as a loving family. “Sweetie would you like to see him again?” A voice made her jump, as she sharply turned, seeing the princess of the night. “P..Princess Luna.” A smile grazed her lips as she approached her. “I heard and saw so much of what has happened to you, ever since your return to Equestria…” A frown forms next. “No words can tell you how sorry I am that you and your father have to live like this in such pain.” “I miss him...All I want is to be with him again.” Rainbow sniffed, wiping a tear from her eye. “I can help you with that my little pony.” Luna spoke, gaining Rainbows attention with shock and hope in her rosy red eyes. “Y...you can?” “Yes. You see, there is a legend of the moon. Every eon that comes, the ruler of the night can harness the moon's energy and allow him or her to fulfill one wish of one ponies desire. Any wish that comes to you and that you truly want, will be granted.” Luna explained with a motherly smile. A smile grazed Rainbow’s lips. Her eyes flowing tears. This was the best news she’s ever heard in a long time. She can now be reunited with her father again. She didn't care what the consequences will be if she returns to earth to see him. It was something she was willing to take...to see her father once again. “It’s ok little pony but i have to bring him here.”  Luna informed. “But head this, once he crosses to Equestria, he will never return to his old home. He will also no longer exist on his planet, as if he never existed. Is this what you truly want for him and you?” the princess of the night asked. Rainbow gulped, but nodded in a firm manner. She knows nothing can be undone for him now. There was nothing for him to live for on Earth. Equestria...will be his new home. “Very well...your wish...is granted.” the moon glittered as Luna absorbed its power and a spark of light from her horn ignited and flashed. *** I laid against my bed. I wasn't tired anymore, and I have nothing left to lose. My depression was accomplishing whatever happiness I had left, and with the reason to live on. But now, things were going to change, and for the better, as my biggest wish I ever made, was about to come true. Out of the bloom, a portal opened up in front of me. I nearly jumped out of shock and fear to the sudden appearance of the portal. Soon, blue aura was grabbing my bags, pictures of my family, and Dashie and packed into one bag and landed in front of me. I had no idea what was going on, but then the portal shined brightly and exploded, as I felt my body being engulfed in light and...nothing.
