A large Venator-class ship landed near the city of Theed. Fluttershy, Ahsoka, and the clone troopers that came to Naboo with them all stood near the landing zone, holding bags and getting ready to board.
"Oh, um, Ahsoka," Fluttershy said, handing her friend her bag. "I kinda forgot that this is all yours."
Ahsoka took the bag and almost immediately rummaged through it. Pulling out the book about the creatures of Naboo, she held it out to Fluttershy. "This is yours."
Fluttershy gratefully took the book, smiling. "Thank you."
The ramp to the Venator came down. Everyone got on board.
After a few moments, the ramp returned to its former closed position and the Venator took off.
The ride had been an extremely long one, even for those used to being on battle cruisers. The planet where Equestria resided was a long ways out of known space. The Venator often had to stop to avoid unstable nebulae or to go around and asteroid field. But the ship triumphed, and landed on a secluded area of land, away from any towns they may frighten.
"I guess this is where we part." Ahsoka said. She tried to smile, but it was obvious she was hurting. Fluttershy was doing the same, although she broke down first.
"I'm really going to miss you," Fluttershy gasped in between sobs. "If you ever get a chance, will you come visit?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Ahsoka said before she began crying.
The two hugged, and Fluttershy made her way down the ramp. At the bottom, just as she was going to step off, an overwhelming feeling came over her, and she turned around, zipping back up the ramp.
Fluttershy launched at Ahsoka, wrapping her forelegs around Ahsoka's neck. She planted a little kiss on her cheek before landing back on the ground.
As she went back down the ramp, Fluttershy waved at Ahsoka. The Padawan waved back.
Good bye, my friend.
Farewell.
Never forget me...
