Fly with me, Scootaloo

The Funeral

**Three Days Later**

Everyone looked gloomily at the tombstone which read "Rainbow Dash - 20% Cooler in Ten Seconds Flat", and also had her cutie mark engraved on it. She was a hell of a racer, but it was becoming apparant she was more than that.

All of her old friends showed up, and seemed to have remenants of their older selves. Even Pinkie, who was escorted by two guards, had her hair curly again and was finally putting makeup on those scars. Fluttershy didn't look as hateful, Twilight had done her hair and was acting semi-normal, Applejack didn't appear to be drunk or even hung over, and Rarity was willing to stand on the grass to attend her old friend's funeral.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were crying, but Scootaloo was bawling, right next to the casket which contained what was left of her role model, Rainbow Dash. The remaining three Wonderbolts were there as well, and they laid her Wonderbolts uniform on top of her casket, to be buried with her. As they lowered the casket, Scootaloo cried even louder. Then, as they filled up the hole, she finally realized.. Rainbow Dash is never coming back. She quietly whispered "Rainbow.. I was supposed to fly with you.."

**Two Hours Later**
The reading of the will was almost over. Rainbow didn't have many friends, and was an orphan herself, but everyone did get something. The remaining five of her old friends each got a bit of money and a few bits of furniture and similar things. The Wonderbolts each got some money, along with a sum of two thousand dollars to go towards advertising the Wonderbolts. They each also got something to remember her by. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were too young to reveive money, so they instead received a note, which they could use to withdrawl 1,500 dollars from the bank once they turned 18. And Scootaloo got the same amount, along with a torn peice of her first Wonderbolts uniform. She hugged it tightly to her chest.

"And finally" Said the man who was reading her will, "I would like all of my organs to be donated to science.. except my wings"

Scootaloo looked up.

"My wings are to go to Scootaloo, who not only idolized me but treated me like a big sister. I am also leaving nine hundred thousand dollars from my savings account, to pay for the operation. Thank you, Scootaloo, for being such a great little sister"

Everyone looked at Scootaloo, whose face appeared a mixture of happiness, sadness, and some unreadable emotions. Her eyes teared up. She looked up and said, out loud, "I love you, Rainbow Dash..."

**Three Months Later**
"Well, Scootaloo, you've finally healed. You can test out your wings for the first time now!" Her doctor told her as he removed her final bandages.

Scootaloo tried to mimick the look of determination Rainbow Dash always had when she was preparing to fly, then took off. Her speeds were nowhere near that of Rainbow Dash's, as it takes more than good wings to acomplish that, but she was flying. Cherry Cola and Soda Pop both cried tears of pride as they watched their daughter fly for the first time.

As she turned back she could almost hear Rainbow's voice, in the back of her mind..
"Told you you'd get to fly with me, Scootaloo"

THE END
