Solace

Repentance

Rainbow Dash inhaled sharply. It hurt.

“Dash? Are you okay?”

“It's starting.”

They were both quiet for a while.

“Should I tell the others?”

Rainbow shook her head very softly. “No. They wouldn't wanna see me here. Not like this.”

“Loyal to the very end, huh?”

“Heh. To the very end.”

They were quiet for a while.

“You know, I never did get to join the Wonderbolts.”

“You'd have to go to Canterlot. It would've really hurt all of us if you left us like that.”

“Hurt.” Rainbow laughed a bit. “Look how far we've come. I wonder if it'll hurt. When it happens.”

“I hope it doesn't.”

“Me too.”

They shared a look.

“Will you forgive me?”

“Dashie, what in Equestria could I forgive you for?”

“For turning into this. Getting your hopes up every few days. Just leaving you like this.”

“Wasn't your fault, Dashie. You didn't choose any of this. You never wanted to go.”

“I did. For a long time.”

There was a pause.

“Do you still want to?”

“No. But I still want to say sorry, because I know you haven't forgiven me yet.”

They looked at each other for a bit, and Rainbow could see deep into her blue eyes.

“I forgive you, Dashie.”

And she knew she meant it, and would always have meant it.
