What If

Epilogue: Equestria, later

The sun’s warm caress woke Applejack. Or maybe it was Rainbow Dash’s loud snoring, who was lying on her back with her mouth wide open. The image made Applejack smile.

She decided to just stay in bed for another few minutes, and enjoyed how peaceful her girlfriend looked in the golden morning light. Although she had complained about the bed not being as comfy as a cloud, it hadn’t taken very long before Rainbow Dash spent almost every night at the Acres, to the great joy of the other Apple family members.

Sometimes, she thought, you couldn’t just wait for life to hand you a second chance. Sometimes you had to make it happen yourself. And then you had to grab it by the horns like an angry bull at a rodeo, and hold on. It wasn’t even a question of luck, but of determination and the willingness to go for what made you happy.

Applejack believed that destiny played a huge role in ponies’ lives. But she also believed that it didn’t do any good to sit back and wait for one’s destiny to happen. She wasn’t one to let her future be decided by destiny, or dumb luck. Taking charge of her life like this wasn’t always easy. But the results were well worth it, she thought as she rested her head on Rainbow’s chest.

And one chance was all that was needed.

The Dark tag is for the alternative universes taken from the Cutie Re-Mark episode.

How bad does it get... betrayal and possible death

That was very, very interesting. And actually seemed to have underlying meaning and moral too!

This was a really interesting story.

I was super nervous that it was going to end sadly but I'm glad it didn't.

Nice job
