It has been weeks since the death of Twilight Sparkle, and everything seems to be going downhill ever since that day. Twilight's death hit everypony hard, but for Rainbow it was the worst. She had always promised that she would be there for Twilight, but now that Twilight is gone, the days don't seem to have the same light that they once had.
But does a pony's life truly end with death? This is not the case with Twilight as she finds herself trapped in between the mortal plane, and the peaceful afterlife that awaits for her in Atheros. It is here where Death gives Twilight the choice, either stay in the middle and watch over her friends, or to fully pass on to the paradise that she deserves. However what will happen when Twilight chooses neither of the options, and decides to forge her own fate?
Yet another bus commute story by me :). In fact as a test experiment I have decided to try to write based on my mood given the day. So here is the story that I will be writing while I am a little depressed or sad about the world (It does happen a little more then I like, even for an optimist like myself). So I hope you enjoy this story, as I have put a fair amount of work to try branch out from the fluffy romance and go with something a little different. The base idea comes from a good non-brony friend of mine that I have known since high school, and I asked if I could write about it... So here is what you get as a result.
As always thanks too Kodeake, jlm123hi, and monkhm for going over and reading the chapters before they get published. I suck at editing so it is nice to know that someone has my back for that. Hopefully it is all worth my annoying flipping back and forth around the way the story will unfold :). Feel free to comment, message, or do anything you want. You know the drill if you have read any of my stories.
What is a "bus commute story"?
4468447 Well due to the annoying bus system that is Ottawa, I have a lot of time on the city bus between home and work everyday. It's really annoying to be honest because I usually get up around 6:30 to start the day... Anyway, the bus commute story thing. Most, if not all of the chapters that will be published will be written during my trips to and from work using the memo app on my phone. It is a pain in the rear as each memo has a 1500 character cap on it, but it beats just sitting there and watching the same scenery go by.
A Gift From The Heart was also wrote solely on the bus as well, so I figured why not mention it.
This is too good! The feels in this story
Why must this make me cry???
I'm loving this.... I can't wait to read more of this!!!!
4468826 Hurray mission accomplished! But in all seriousness I am glad you like the story, and hopefully the next chapters will live up to the standard this one seems to have set with the first couple of people that have read it. Still don't know where I am going with it, but that is half the fun
4468858 Yup, when writing it can go any direction,
And of course the other chapters will be as great as this chapter!!!

whoa whoa whoa. Hold up sec, your using the memo app? Why? Most phones come with quick office already installed. With quick office you don't have a page limit and can easily upload the files onto google drive, hassle free... just an FYI.
4478341 Huh did not know that. Not even in the slightest... Yeah I have been using the memo app cause my phone is an old Galaxy and I never really use it that often, so I never thought to look for other apps that would work.
The feels that it gives me. Makes me think of many sad things in reality. From my great-granddad dying, to Ryan Dunn's death in his Porsche. javascript:smilie('

4537588 Sorry for the feels, but in terms of what the chapter was aiming for it sounds like it hit square on the head. Hopefully the next chapter lives up to the nature of the first... When I get finished reworking it at least. Too bad this story is getting a little under-shadowed at the moment
nice story:)
I might start my Dramatic Reading 'Career' at this story.
Amazing story and I hope to see the next chapter up in my feed sometime soon, (No pressure.)

4781067 I got a long co-op report to write in the near future so it might take a little while. Chapter 2 is already about half way finished but I put this project on hiatus until my 10 page paper is submitted. So if you don't mind waiting about a month or so... yeah... And damn potential dramatic reading. That is some high praise

I would have replied 2 hours ago but
I decided to take a break from FIMFiction and go to some
Brony chat, didn't work out due to my crappy phone.
I really wanna chat with some bronies n stuff bro...
Anyway, A month or two isn't too long, especially for how good this story, and writing, are.
I thought I'd never see the day where another story about colorful ponies would make me cry, and I was proven wrong.
MLD was supposed to be an exception, lol.
Also I really wanna see updates to When a Door closes another opens; but finish the 10 page paper first cause its more important. I'll stay on board with you and I'm sure whatever you have to release is going to be amazing.

I love this chapter.
This is so sad, I can't stop reading it.
Is there more to this story
Is there more to this story, where twi passes the trials (or at least tries)
5679122 Oh there definitely will be for sure. It's just a matter of when I get the chance to actually write up the next chapter. Currently I'm in my third year at uni, and also working part time so I have very little time to work on writing.
But yes, this story is slotted to have at least 7 - 9 more chapters in theory. There is next chapter that will introduce Rainbow to Death's sister, then after that we'll be getting into the 3 trials that both must complete in order to bring Twilight back.
Yay! THANK TOU FOR SUCH AN AWESOME STORY!!!!
5679456 Not a problem. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it
Why you make me cry? Death isn't something I care too much about but not seeing those closest to me ever again is something that I can relate to. Damn it! This is such a sad story and I've never seen any sad stories by you. You get
out of 
Almost forgot; Damn it! I was going to do something similar. Now that I know someone else has done something like it, I don't feel right writing it. Still, this is great!
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh...
This. Is. intriguingly!!! and soooo promising! cant wait the time you will be back to writing
_______________________________________________________________
Seriously, thought, it was rather interesting and sad, just as i like it
Best of luck man
Wait wait wait wait....
Rainbow was walking towards the hospital while her friend was half dead?! You could have saved her Dash!!! WHYYYY?!??!
But good story so far
Pls CONTINUE....
8207696 I am going to try to get back into writing at some point but unfortunately it is going to be slow. Nothing I seem to write flows like it used to, and I'm having a difficult time actually finding ways that I would like to phrase things. Hopefully, the ease of writing comes back once I actually get back into it.
Is this story dead?
9283508
Probably should say yes. I've always wanted to get back into writing, but unfortunately, I've been occupied with work, and unfortunately, my procrastination has always gotten the better of me whenever I sit down to get some writing done.
So, with that in mind, there probably won't be any progress in this story for the foreseeable future.
Sorry for the bad news.
9288886
It's okay,I understand. ^^ hope you'll do some Twidash in the future tho.
9288900
If I get back into writing, it is definitely something that I am going to do.
Out of all of the shipping pairs, TwiDash is at the top of my list. I've always enjoyed stories that have the pairing in it, and I will also probably never get bored of writing it.
9288951
I agree, it really is something fun to read,and it always has been my favourite shipping since I came to the fandom. ^^
Right in the feels….
