Epilogue

Scootaloo wiped a tear from her face. Her eyes met with her close friend, but Rainbow's eyes seemed to fade away, and she couldn't stand it.

Turning away, she wiped another tear away.

But she couldn't tell lies her whole life. Rainbow Dash was dying, and it was up to Scootaloo to keep the Wonderbolts and everything else alive. Starting with facing the truth.

She turned back to Rainbow Dash, with a faint smile.

"I wish you could stay with me forever," she mumbled.

Rainbow Dash smiled back, kind of grinning. Her hospital bed may not be fashionable, and her colors may be dull, but she would stay in Scootaloo's heart forever. Forever. Forever...

"Scootaloo," Rainbow Dash said weakly, "I know you know this too, but you're my friend. My favorite friend from the Wonderbolts, my favorite friend besides the five other girls I've grown up with. But they're something and you're something too, and you're something else. You give me a special feeling when you're around, and I enjoy that feeling. That feeling is a new kind of friendship, a friendship that you created. You're like a sister to me. You've always been."

Scootaloo's heart pounded, and her eyes began to water with happiness. She never had a family, and Rainbow Dash felt like her mother to her ever since she was a little filly.

Rainbow Dash continued, her smile slowly growing bigger and bigger. "I want you to carry on me. Carry on Rainbow Dash. And that means I want you to take over my spot as leader of the Wonderbolts, ever since Spitfire has been too weak to lead it. I want you to be me, and carry on the cyan mare's wishes for you right now."

Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle entered the room, the door opening softly and gently.

"Hello, Rainbow Dash, hello Scootaloo," she said softly, closing the door.

"Hello," Scootaloo answered painfully, glancing at Rainbow Dash.

"Scootaloo, I need to talk to you," Twilight Sparkle kept her soft tone as she pulled Scootaloo away from the hospital bed, "I know you've been through a lot, and we haven't sent Princess Celestia a letter for a long time, so how would you like to send her one?"

"I'd be glad to," Scootaloo gulped, nodding, "Really."

Twilight Sparkle smiled, and held up a piece of paper and a quill to her face. "You may begin," she laughed silently, "I've learned to do this ever since Spike left for the Dragon Migration."

"Alright. Dear Princess Celestia," Scootaloo began, glancing at Twilight Sparkle, who was trying to keep up with the pegasus' words, "I have learned a lot from my adventure. Friendship is an enjoyable thing, no doubt it, but it's also a responsibility. I should never forget my friends or family, or anypony for that matter who is close to me in any way. From, your faithful subject, Scootaloo."

Scootaloo smiled as she looked at the unicorn's calligraphy, and while reading it over she felt emotions taking over.

Trotting over to the pegasus, she saw her fading. No, dying.

"I'm sorry," Scootaloo whispered.

"It's not your fault," Rainbow Dash said.

Her weak eyes closed, and her colors dulled.

"I'll remember you..." Scootaloo said.

"Forever."

You killed Rainbow dash :fluttercry: why? :pinkiesad2::raritycry::applecry:

888834 I thought something extremely dramatic at the ending would be a good finish. I'm sorry to anyone who thinks that it's offensive, but I still like Rainbow Dash!

888464 I don't exactly know, because there's really nothing else to write about. But if you want another story that is sort of like this one, I'm taking suggestions.

:twilightangry2: gerrr... :twilightsmile: just kidding, its ok I was not offended or trying to post hate or anything I really enjoyed the story ending an all :ajsmug:

This Ending made me cry more than My Little Dashie and Bubbles :twilightoops:

:fluttercry:



While being short the rest of the story was brilliant, story-wise, etc. but my favorite thing is the pacing. The Pacing was about as good as the "My Roommate is a Vampire" Fic, and that has fricken awesome pacing.
my only complaint was that it was a bit to short.

Overall 9/10

998955 Do you think I should rewrite it to make it a bit longer? I've gotten a lot of compliments but most of the complaints (I rarely got any, thanks viewers!) were mostly about how short it was. :rainbowwild: So I dunno about it.

999611
I would say maybe as a project after you finish Vampirisim, and that's i you don't have any projects after Vampirisim.

999775 I have a bunch of stories going on that I'm trying to work on, but I'm sure I could fit it in somewhere! Thanks for the tip! And should I also write a sequel or something?

Great story! Really! :pinkiesmile: But I only have 2 complaints: 1. it was too short, and 2. it wasent clear why rainbow died. She wasent that old and it only could have been 20 years after so she would only be 40... :rainbowwild: :duck:

1145016 Short? It's twelve chapters, I thought people would think it was too long...

And for the Rainbow Dash part, yes, all of those are my errors. I'm thinking of making a better version, maybe. Maybe...maybe...maybe...

Loved the story. :scootangel:

However, not trying to be picky but for the most part, the start to middle of the fic I loved. It was nicely thought of and you showed it. About halfway onwards though I felt that it was being a bit rushed. Awesome concept from the inspiration was executed within the good half though which is what I was looking for.

If you are thinking of making a better version then awesome :pinkiehappy:

1161200 Yeah~! And thanks! This was like a 'lesson on writing proper fanfictions' to me, and when I saw how much people liked it I considered on making a new version, after my fanfic Vampirism. :twilightsmile:

1321055 ^_^ I don't really know, and I don't think Misty and Firestreak are a ship at all, I just picked randomly!

and rainbow dies FOREVER. she is permanently gone, as in FOREVER AND EVER

1331068 ....ummmmm....

So in the end, Scootaloo gained back all her old friends only to lose the closest pony she's ever had to a family? Really sad, but touching. Teaches us to hold close to the things we have. Is that why she wanted to be alone, or is this in the future years after the story?

2126524 It is why she wanted to be alone ^_^
