//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: The Greatest Adventure // by Dinos4Ever //------------------------------// Epilogue: 5 years later… "But…but I don't wanna go! I wanna stay here, with you!" whined five year old Spirit, as his parents walked him to school. "C'mon Spirit, quite your whining." Encouraged Rainbow "I am not whining, I am-" "Yeah, yeah, you're complaining" finished Sky, laughing. When he got back, he was going to have to talk to Rarity about what she taught his kid. "But, school will be so boring, just sitting around all day!" continued Spirit. "You're not gonna be able to talk yourself out of this one squirt. Besides, what have I told you about judging books by their covers? Especially when it's a really awesome book like school?" "Oh, alright" complied Spirit. "Stubborn, just like his mother" thought Sky, "He really does have his mothers' spirit." "Besides, Ms. Cheerilee is really nice, remember, she taught Apple Bloom? She didn't turn out bad" said Rainbow. "That is, if you think dating a dragon is bad" added Sky. "Why would Apple Bloom dating Spike be bad?" asked a curious Spirit. Spirit had always been a curious and independent one, but today he seemed oddly nervous about school. Then again, it was his first day. And being the Wonderbolt off season, and the coaches since Spitfire and Soarin retired last year, they had given the rest of the team a break. "Oh, no reason" said Rainbow, thinking back to how controversial the whole town found the pair when they first announced they were dating. Macintosh, who had already been a parent with Fluttershy for three years at that point, had promised to kick Spikes' face in if he ever hurt his little sister. There was no telling what he would have done if Fluttershy wasn't able to calm him when he found out that Applejack has been dating an orange farmer by the name of Sunny Dee behind his back for two years. Eventually, the two settled down and had a foal they named Peach Mango two years ago. "Hello all my new little ponies" greeted Cheerilee as she welcomed her new kindergarten class. "Go, on" encouraged Sky, smiling at his son. "Oh, Mom, Dad, I'm gonna miss you" said Spirit, giving his parents a hug. "Hey, don't get all sappy on me. It's only for two hours anyway" said Rainbow, trying to hide a tear that had fallen down her cheek. Wiping the tear from her cheek, she glanced around quickly; making sure nopony saw it, only to find a wry smile from Sky. "Spirit, would you like to join us in the classroom?" called Cheerilee. "That's you squirt" sniffed Rainbow. "Good luck, kiddo" called Sky, as he hugged Rainbow. Suddenly, a puff of green smoke appeared. This time recognizing it as Spikes, the Sky grabbed it out of the air. Hello everypony! Twilight says she has big news for all of us! Come to the library immediately! -Spike Sky asked Rainbow, "Hmmm, what do you think it could be?" "I have a hunch…" Arriving at the Ponyville Library, Rainbow and Sky noticed their friends already there. Including Sunny Dee, and Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom and Spike. "Thank you for coming everypony. As you know, I've been dating Dewey, the Head Canterlot-" "Yeah, yeah, we know, the Head Canterlot Librarian. We've heard it a thousand times, get on with it already." "Oh, sorry" said a bashful Twilight. "Well, anyway, I called you all together because I have some very special news to share with all of you…I'm pregnant!" "Whoa!" was all that she received from her number one assistant and his fillyfriend. "CONGRATULATIONS!" screamed Pinkie Pie. "Oh, darling, I'm so happy for you!" said Rarity. "Tarnation! That's excellent!" congratulated Applejack and Sunny "Oh, how wonderful. I'm so happy for you" said Fluttershy, while all her mate said was, "That's good news." "You're going to love this!" said Sky. Everypony looked at Rainbow, who hadn't said a word. "Oh, uh…here we go again" she managed to push out. Everybody laughed as they group hugged Twilight. The adventure continuing. A/N: I know it's short. I wasn't planning on doing a sequel, and was planning on this being the short little "wrap things up" chapter. I thank all of my readers.
