26 - TrixDash Finale/Epilogue
One full year had passed since Rainbow Dash had left Ponyville to train as a Wonderbolt. During that time, many things had happened in the not-so-quiet little town. After many months of patience and subtle hints, Applejack had finally gave in and proposed to Rarity. The two now live happily together in Carousal Boutique and recently began looking into adoption.
Twilight Sparkle continued to study magic whilst still making time for all of her friends, and after word had spread around Ponyville Elementary School about the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ rising grades, the princess found herself with a truckload of new foals all asking for her tutelage. Two particularly rich fillies make sure she is always kept busy.
Fluttershy followed Rainbow Dash’s example and started to pursue a fulltime career as a licensed vet. After a series of misunderstandings that led to her enlisting into the military, Fluttershy finally managed to get things under control and her new apprenticeship under the Ponyville veterinarian began. Though she had her new friend Gilda to thank for that.
Gilda continued to visit Fluttershy occasionally, doing her best to not be noticed by the ponies of Ponyville. They totally knew from the start. He griffon’s visits are often fun for Fluttershy, though she wishes that Gilda would stop trying to tear out Discord’s arteries, and that Discord would stop provoking her. Still, the more the merrier, as they always say.
Pinkie Pie continued to work at Sugarcube Corner, whilst also throwing plenty of fun parties and events all over the town. She also sometimes accompanies Trixie out of town to throw parties and sell the Cakes’ baked goods in new locations, bringing many ponies all the way to Ponyville to visit the now-famous Sugarcube Corner. Mayor Mare has never been happier.
As for Trixie, her shows continued to flourish, as did her reputation. Word spread about the magical mare with a knack for story-telling and illusionary prowess, as well as a short fuse against neigh-sayers and her humorous ways of punishing them onstage. Also her declarations of being ‘mightier than the princesses themselves’ had earned her some renown throughout the kingdom.
Though she visited Ponyville often, much of the mare’s time was spent travelling all over Equestria, and even outside of its borders sometimes. Still, the times that she spent in Ponyville were always welcomed by her friends there. Her shows were a good distraction for the bored locals during the middle of the day, and her two students were always eager to learn more magic from their mentor.
During Hearth’s Warming Eve, Rainbow Dash returned for three full days. Trixie coordinated the Ponyville Hearth’s Warming Eve pageant that year, casting herself as Clover the Clever in Twilight’s stead. Afterwards, Rainbow Dash and Trixie spent the night exchanging stories and showing each other how much progress they had made.
For Hearts and Hooves Day, Rainbow Dash was permitted one day to visit her marefriend. Unfortunately, Trixie had chosen that particular day to injure her eye in a tragic fireworks accident and Rainbow Dash spent the entire day by Trixie’s bedside, reading her stories from the Daring Do series.
During the Summer Sun Celebration, Rainbow Dash was given the honour of joining the Wonderbolts in Canterlot as a reward for being at the top of the class. She gave this honour up, however, as she wanted to spend the day with Trixie. Trixie scolded Rainbow for this decision, telling her that she should have taken the chance to fly with her heroes, and the two got into a bit of a fight that lasted for nearly two full weeks in their letters. They promptly made up when Spitfire, fed up of seeing her top cadet so distracted in training, summoned Trixie to Cloudsdale and scolded the both of them, and then threatened to have them both clean Soarin’s room until they had made up. They did so promptly. Soarin’s self-esteem was dropped three sizes that day.
One full year, and just like any other day in that past year, something was happening in Ponyville. Trixie Lulamoon had returned from a week-long expedition into the Cave of Horrors where she had supposedly faced and defeated the dreaded Medusa, and she was preparing to share the story with everypony in the town square.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were all given their usual VIP spots. Scootaloo was not offered one but Twilight allowed her to stand on her back to watch anyway. The crowd had gathered, the stage had unfolded, and the show was ready to commence.
“Fillies and gentlecolts!” a booming voice declared as smoke filled the stage and sparklers ignited to either side. “Prepare yourselves for a tale of greatness! A tale of wonder! A tale of magic!” A light filled the stage and the crowd erupted into cheers as their favourite resident magician appeared in a sea of sparkles. “Are you ready to hear of the blood-curdling battle between the Great and Powerful Trixie, and the dreaded Medusa?!”
Foals in the audience cheered whilst Twilight and her friends simply played along, Spike limiting it to slow claps and Fluttershy-level ‘yay’s.
“Then let the show, COMMENCE!” Trixie pointed a hoof into the air, and at that time, a rainbow explosion awed everypony present. Trixie looked up and quirked an eyebrow. ‘That wasn’t supposed to happen.’
Another rainbow explosion to the left confused some ponies, and then a third explosion above the crowd startled everypony present. The air seemed to shimmer and distort all the way to the stage before a cloud of dust rose up, obscuring everypony’s views and causing Trixie to break into a coughing fit.
“Water?”
Trixie took the glass of water offered to her by the mysterious blue hoof and chugged it quickly. “Thanks… Wait, who goes there?!” Trixie shouted, using her magic to clear the dust. She gasped at what she saw, as did everypony in the audience. “Y-You!”
“Heh. Miss me much?” Rainbow Dash asked as she removed the goggles covering her eyes. She stood tall and proud in her full Wonderbolt uniform with a glorious golden medal draped around her neck, the number ‘1’ engraved into it. Her long rainbow mane was tied into a ponytail that flowed far down her back and her face was decorated with a few small bandages here-and-there.
“Rai-”
“RAINBOW DASH!”
Rainbow Dash was tackled from the side by a certain pink pony with a voice loud enough to shatter eardrums. Trixie could only watch as another mare beat her to the punch in welcoming Rainbow Dash home the ‘Ponyville way’.
“P-Pinkie! C’mon!” Rainbow Dash slipped out of Pinkie Pie’s hold and smiled at her friends standing in the audience before her. “Hey guys! I’m back.”
“So we noticed,” Applejack said with a grin.
“So how did it go?” Rarity asked. “Did you… become a Wonderbolt?”
“Either that or she’s developed a hobby in dressing up,” Spike answered sarcastically.
“That’s wonderful! Congratulations, Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said, Fluttershy nodding beside her.
“Way to go.”
“Thanks,” Rainbow Dash said, rubbing the back of her head as she blushed under the sea of applause before her. “Sorry for not sayin’ anything, but I wanted this to be a surprise.” Rainbow turned to Trixie, who was still staring with a surprised look on her face. “I’ve actually got somethin’ I need to say here.”
Everypony watched as Rainbow Dash reached into her saddlebag with a wing, muttered when she pulled something out that they couldn’t see, and then gasped as she lowered herself to one knee before Trixie.
“Trix… I guess I made you wait a bit, huh? Sorry ‘bout that, but y’know what? I still loved you even when we were so far apart. You were actually half my motivation for doin’ well up there and helped me get through a lot of hard times, and even if we could only talk through letters, I still loved it when I got your letters and wrote to you. I still had so much fun with you and still felt like I wanted to spend more time with you.” Rainbow Dash opened the box, revealing a ring inside with a beautiful diamond attached, reflecting the sunlight. “Trixie, will you marry me?”
All fell silent. Even the grasshoppers were waiting with bated breaths for Trixie’s answer. The showmare herself simply stared into Rainbow Dash’s eyes whilst standing perfectly still, like a statue. Finally, Trixie reacted… by snatching the box out of Rainbow’s hoof with her magic. “What do you think you’re doing?!” she shouted, startling her marefriend. “First you come back without any warning, you interrupt Trixie’s show and hug Pinkie Pie before me-”
“Actually, she attacked me.”
“-And now you have the nerve to upstage the Great and Powerful Trixie, on her own stage?!” Trixie threw her hat aside and dropped down to one knee, opening the box before Rainbow Dash. “If anypony is going to propose, it will be me! Rainbow Dash, will you accept the honour of marrying me?”
Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes and stood up in protest. “Hey! Do you have any idea how long I worked on that corny speech?! I don’t exactly do mushy, in case you hadn’t noticed! I had to practice in front of a mirror for weeks to get that down! Not to mention I bought that ring with my own saving money!” Rainbow Dash grabbed the ring and attempted to pry it from Trixie’s magic. “I’m proposing, and that’s that!”
Trixie also stood up and increased her magic’s strength. “It is Trixie’s stage! I’ll propose!”
“For the love of Celestia, one of ya jus’ answer already!” Applejack cried out in frustration. “Are y’all gettin’ hitched or what?!”
Rainbow Dash and Trixie stopped fighting over the ring as they stared into each other’s eyes. “… Trixie is indeed ready to marry.”
Rainbow Dash nodded with a smile. “Yeah. Let’s get married.”
The two moved closer together and connected their lips, earning a loud outburst of cheers and applause from the audience, hooves stomping against the ground and clapping together even as the two parted and Trixie bowed to her loving fans.
“It seems that today’s show will have to be rescheduled!” Trixie announced as soon as the crowd began to quiet down. “It has been some time, and the Great and Powerful Trixie wishes to catch up with her awesome partner!”
“We understand,” Applejack said. “Y’all go an’ ‘catch up’. We’ll talk later ‘bout the weddin’ plans.”
As Trixie and Rainbow Dash left the stage, Scootaloo jumped off of Twilight’s head and began to follow. “Wait up! I wanna catch up, too!” A blue aura pulled Scootaloo back and the filly looked back to find Rarity holding her tail with her magic. “Hey! What gives?”
“Let’s give them their space,” Rarity said. “The two of them haven’t seen each other for some time. They need some private time alone.”
“Huh? Why?” Scootaloo asked with a raised eyebrow. “I’m her sister. Can’t I join in?”
“… You’ll understand when you’re older,” Rarity said as she placed a huffing Scootaloo down onto Twilight’s back.
“That again? Will somepony please just tell me what that means already?!”
“Looks like y’all have got some new dresses ta make,” Applejack said to Rarity.
“And I’ve got a ceremony to plan!” Pinkie Pie cheered. “This is so awesome!”
Twilight nodded in agreement. “Not only the wedding, but Rainbow Dash is finally recognising her dream.”
“You’re right!” Pinkie Pie shouted. “That means we’ll have to have two parties! Watch out, dentist! Pinkie Pie is gonna whip up one mean sugary fiesta!”
As Pinkie Pie dashed off to plan her party, Twilight looked towards Trixie’s now-folded-up stage and smiled. “I can’t believe how much things have changed in just a couple of years. Back then, I had no interest in other ponies. Now, I couldn’t be any happier for two of my best friends. And I also can’t wait to see what the future hold for them.”
Meanwhile, inside of Trixie’s trailer, two mares were catching up once more through the exchange of their tales over the past year. Neither one knew what future challenges lay ahead of them, but they were both eager to face them together. A new life was about to start for them, but at that present time, they were content to just share the moment together.
-The End-
Yikes. Over a full year it took to get this thing done. I hadn't intended it to go one for quite so long, but lots of work, new games and procrastination combined has that effect, I suppose ^_^;;
In any case, with this final chapter/epilogue here, TrixDash is now officially complete!~ Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
To all those who liked/faved this: Thanks :3 You guys are awesome and are a main source of motivation for my continued writing.
To all those who continued to wait for new chapters during those long gaps: Sorry you waited so long, and hopefully the final product was at least satisfactory ^_^;;
And to those who like my other works and those that even follow me, you guys are the best :D
And now, I leave you all with this:

liked it and please make a sequel for this story that has Rainbow Dash getting married toTrixie and has them adopted a filly or colt to take care of it as family with Slice of Life tag in it
That was awesome
! I suspected the story might end on a proposal but I wasn't sure which one would do it. Having them fight over it was hilarious 
. This was such an awesome story. There are other stories I suspect you want to work on now, but seriously a sequel to this would be epic
Not a fan of these 80's sitcom/movie recap endings, but meh, that's just personal. The arguing about who's proposing to whom was funny, at least. Sunset Shimmer's ghost was very black and white. It works with the scenario you give, but it doesn't make for a very intriguing read. Doesn't help that we basically get the same speech twice, once in Trixie's head and once outside of it.
Well, I will have to read the whole thing again at some point to give some proper feedback. As it stands, the best part is probably the beginning. I'll get back to you at some point about that, maybe.
Yay
Hooray!

Awww, I was going more for Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2
Ah well, whatever floats yer boat 
Dude. Seriously? That's how you end it? With, as that other guy put it, an 80s sitcom recap epilogue?
Aww, it's over?
YES YES YES!!!
What an ending!!!
4656360
I have no idea what one of those is
Uh... Sorry if it offended you?
&
Does that make sense?
Awesome, awesome ending. Nigh-perfect marriage proposal between them, too. Now... sequel, please?!
That proposal was perfect.
Hurray!
(Again...)
No bittersweet ending in this story!
Guess I have a certain NSFW game to look for these two lovebirds...
That was great
Very well done it's a shame it is over but that picture at the end 
priceless. I like this world wish we could get more glimpses in it but it ended well 
Bravo
Well at least he's got pie. Also Trixie calling out RD on upstaging her is 100% in character for her and I loved it.
Finally! I thought TrixDash didn't exist, but here it is!

Tirek is a Gen 1 villain

...
Mind blown! I don't know much about the older generations.
I nominate this as best proposal on fimfiction
5871550 I second that notion!
Loved it!
