Epilogue

"We are go for launch! 10... 9... 8... 7..."

Apogee listened to the countdown on the loudspeaker, grabbing hooffuls of popcorn as her eyes were glued to the rocket a few miles away on the launchpad.

"3... 2... 1..."

Fire erupted from all corners of the launchpad as the rocket slowly rose off the ground. Plumes of smoke and flame continued outward as it cleared the tower.

"We have liftoff!" The loudspeaker announced over the volume of cheering spectators as the rocket became smaller and smaller among the endless sea of blue sky.

Apogee felt a wing around her shoulders, and she looked to her left, where her mom sat beside her.

"Pretty soon, kiddo, that's gonna be you going up there." Delta said, her gaze falling from rocket down onto her daughter.

"You said it." Jet said, who was sitting on her other side.

Apogee smiled at them both, then looked back up at the rocket trail vanishing into the sky.

"Just you wait..." She began, swallowing what popcorn she had in her mouth.

"I'll go farther than anypony has before."

That ending is a nice nod to your Breaking Orbit storyline

Awww, it's over. Like I said last chapter, It's one of the best scenarios I could hope for. The story made for a good poke in the feels. Well done Miles, well done. Thanks for creating and sharing and thank you Shino for this lovely little universe you've given us.

For the Ponyoverse, not sure. I understand the comic is undergoing something of a re-write, have to see where it goes.

Other than that, I'm working on two other stories at the moment; my parody of the show itself, Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student, and my third entry in my Matters of the Heart series, which this time around will be a straight up Gallbar clopfic.

The ending that Delta finally agree to "use" Jet on getting back to her EQSA dream is really a relief... may I have you permission to translate this story into Chinese and post on Fimtale, a local Fimfiction equevalent? With credits and link and everything for sure. Already done one for TheBandBrony's Matte Kudasai, and I thing the fact of me as a Aerospace Engineering student at RMIT helps the translation: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/466961/matte-kudasai , https://fimtale.com/t/16323

👏👏👏 I'm glad to see that everything is working out, sure Delta and Jet might never be able to regain the spark that they had in the old days, but the healing process has done an awful lot in the past year (guessing at the timeline of this fic). I also really liked your idea that the whole raise the sun and moon thing, it's taking a very complex problem and putting it into laypony terms.

I'll definitely be adding this to my Fimfiction library and looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for ponyo.

OK, just finished the translation of Epilogue, and so the Chinese version is done! Might do "Picking Yourself Up" later, just see how things goes.
