Epilogue: How did it all end?
============================================================================
You spent your whole summer relaxing and hanging out with your marefriend Rainbow Dash. You two both got up to many adventures both in the bedroom and out. Besides seeing a variety of Wonderbolts shows and performances, you two also went out to movies and fancy dinners.
Before you knew it, your 8 weeks of summer fun were already up, bringing you two back to the school routine. You spent your second year very productively, putting your full effort into your work and sports. Your Wingball team eventually did make it through onto the national league, giving you and Thunder the chance to play on the big stage.
You, Thunder and the rest of the team would spend many weeks in and out of school. Often going on tours to other parts of the country. You played against many of the finest young sports ponies in Equestria, winning and losing your fair share of games.
What made you try your best? The fact you knew somepony was waiting for you when you returned. Every time you returned from your tours you would always head straight to Rainbow's dorm first. She would always be waiting for you inside, usually with the intention of giving you a reward for your brilliant efforts.
Then the day came.
The same spring day that would be permanently engraved into your mind.
You have just returned from another tour, successfully winning the Intermediate cup. One final year of this and you would graduate with your flying colours. You quickly flew straight over to Dashie's dorm, half expecting the usual fare. You make your near perfect landing on your usual spot and cal out to her window.
No reply.
That's ok I guess...
The lack of response didn't scare you. She often hid inside, waiting to surprise you as you entered. You make for the door but quickly find the door to be securely locked. You do the only other gentlecolt thing there is to do.
You fly up to the window, which was slightly ajar. You lift it open and fly in slowly. You expect the usual Wonderbolt covered walls with various merchandise and souvenirs you got her lying on the shelves. To your surprise you notice the whole shelves devoid of any nick-knacks and the walls returned to their dull off white paint scheme.
Thoughts start to race though your head. You feel that addictive adrenaline rush coming on. You look around the room fearing the worst.
On top of the perfectly pressed bed sheets you spot a cyan blue envelope sealed with a rainbow wax stamp. You curiously pick it up and read the addressee:
To: Lighting Strike
You rip the delicate parcel open and quickly smell the distinct odour inside. The same shampoo and deodorant brand Dashie uses. You pull the folded letter close to your nose and breathe in that wonderful, memorable flavour. You quickly unfold the light blue paper and read the note slowly.
Dear Lightning,
You know I hate writing sobby letters so I’m going to cut straight to it.
I'm sorry you had to find this letter where you did but I couldn't take it any longer.
You feel a small part of your heart crunch as you read the letter
I'm sorry but the things the school wanted for me and the things I wanted for myself just didn't match. I know I'm a great flier but I just can’t handle the crazy schoolwork. I hope you don't think I'm a coward for what I'm doing but I want you to know that I still love you and no other pony could ever replace that thing we had together.
I can't stay here in Cloudsdale but I don't know where I'm going to go. Don't worry about me; just do what you do best. You'll find me someday because I'm gonna get into the Wonderbolts. Look me up if you ever find me.
Never forget... I still love you.
With Love,
Skittles
You spot a tear stain the bottom of the letter and you fold it back into the envelope. You feel the fiery glow in your heart die out and you sit up on the bed. Your one and only love in life had left you but you can’t stay hung up on it.
You take it like a stallion and tuck the letter under your wings. You mutter quietly under your breath.
"I love you too.... Skittles..."
You prime your wings and head off back to your dorm. You had school work you still needed to finish...
Another year you still had to finish.

THE END
============================================================================
Such a sad ending. The sequel is well on its way to being written and I hope you're all excited to see how the second part of the story goes...
Remember. Still looking for OC names (if confused, refer to chapter 10 bottom of page)
Aww
1307297> >1307273
Don't worry. The OC will one day meet RD again.
I Think...
1307441 that may be interesting if he never gets to see her in the sequel. Just getting information on her in the end.
That ending.
Nopony, I will personally track you down and rip off your balls if you don't write a sequel.
If he does, it may be a couple of years so hurry with the sequel please
sequel more like squeequel
A very nice story friend very nice indeed and you seriously have accomplished something for atleast attracting me to read this. Why you might ask is because to me rainbow dash is the most unlike able character on the show.
I would like a sequel though
MY GOD MAN WHY ALL THE SADS AT THE END
As much as I didn't like the ending, I saw it coming.
In the last chapter you said there would be a sequel, what better way to get into it than having them break up, and meet each other again.
Very, VERY nice story. I am very much looking forward to the sequel.
Any chances we can get an idea as to when the sequel will come out?
I actually cried. I've never done that before....
Well on another note I loved your story and this is now my new favorite
I am eagerly awaiting more story's from you my freind and hope you keep at this
It's so SAD though
HE BETTER FIND HER IN THE SEQUEL
Seriously though this was one of the best fanfics I've read in a while. What a satisfying ending, even though it took a turn for the worse you still set it ip for a sequel really well. That being said, i hope to see a new story soon
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK has to end sadly as usual doesn't it, anyways i hope this means were going to Ponyville
Lighting get out of the school! media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6k5pcGBMf1r3itu7.gif
An awesome end to an awesome fic. Well done. Can't wait for the sequel!
Okay why does it keep saying this is updating.
Pretty good for Teen story. dialogue was nice but you need to check up grammer-errors on some chapters. Pretty good about Lightning Strike and his relationship with Rainbow Dash. Although i'm curious to know what had happened betwwen Thunder Hoof and Fluttershy at the end of the story. In the end, pretty good romance with some teenage shenanigans here-and-there. Nice work man.
nononononononononooo!!!! COME ON!!! THAT STORY WAS SO HAPPY AND YOU RUINED IT!!! SOILED IT! SOILED IT!! SPOILED IT!!!!! THERE BETTER BE A SEQUEL!!!
You brought on the feels, but not the good kind, these were sad feels... You see this heart? Take it, and rip it in half, that's what just happened. Great story though, I loved it!
Darn it! I was so happy and positive when I finished the chapters and loving this story then you went full feels on it with the epilogue still love the story but that ending is just shattering
What a sad ending for a cute love story, hope they make up for it in the sequel
So is the sex tag required even if it's implied/inferred sex? I think the mature tag should cover that. Clopfics should be the ones with the sex tag.
Oh crap crying now...
That ending...OH GOD WHY? I've had to read a letter like that myself so I feel his pain. But if all she wanted to do was leave school couldn't she have just told him herself. Or write to him once she got a new home. Did she really have to just leave it all behind? Well, hope to see how this continues when I read the sequel.
