Rainbow slowly opened her eyes in the hotel bedroom. She faced Soarin, who had just opened his eyes too. The two of them smiled because of the wonderful day they had the day before. Rainbow wore her engagement ring around her hoof proudly.
This was the day that Soarin and Rainbow were going to part, though. The two of them got dressed in the hotel room. Rainbow's nerves were very strong on this day, and she even threw up in the morning.
The two of them dressed in light jackets and Rainbow brought along the umbrella for them to share due to the cloudy and rainy day in the forecast. They flew across the rainy and damp Equestrian fields early in the morning towards Baltimare, where the ship was going to set sail for Saddle Arabia.
Upon their arrival, Rainbow could see that she was not the only one who had to part with a loved one going off to war. There were many mares parting with their stallions, and there were parents watching their sons going off to serve for the kingdom. The two of them landed on the docks in front of the ship. The sky was grey and the rain was falling upon the newly engaged couple. Rainbow took out the umbrella and held it in her hoof for the two of them to share.
“Dashie, I'm sorry. I’m sorry I signed up for this. Trust me, if I could change it, I would, but it's too late now,” Soarin told her.
Rainbow looked back to him straight in his eyes. Her eyes started to water. “I know, Soarin, I know... I... I’m going to miss you so much,” she told him.
“I’m going to miss you too. I will think about you every second. I will write to you every chance I get,” he informed her.
The two of them hugged, and leaned back while still in each other’s grasp to say their final goodbyes. Rainbow’s tears were now streaming down her face.
“Goodbye, my love,” Soarin said to her.
“Goodbye, my hero,” Rainbow replied. They stared at each other in the eyes as Soarin backed away. His hooves slid down her forelegs until he gently let go for the final time. There was no turning back now. Soarin boarded to ship while Rainbow stood on the docks under her umbrella, with the rain still pouring hard on this gloomy day.
Soarin got himself ready on the ship, and just before they were ready to leave, he showed up on the deck and leaned over the sides to face Rainbow. The ship let out the loud horn, signalling that it was time to go.
As the ship pulled away, Soarin waved to his love, and she waved back. Rainbow continued to watch the ship travel across the water and away from the land.
She continued to watch as it got smaller and smaller on the horizon. As it finally disappeared from her sight, Rainbow looked down and closed her eyes. A single teardrop fell from her eye and dropped into a puddle of water on the ground. Rainbow sighed sadly. “Goodbye, my love,” she said quietly while looking at the ground, but it was too late for him to hear. He was already gone.
2135080 No, no, nothing like that. The princesses are not in this story at all.
She threw up 50 bits says she's pregnant
2136069 That didn't take very long
2136082 Well, she could've threw up for other reasons, but I'm just guessing for sometime in the future
2136091 You'll find out soon enough.
I love WildStallion comments
short and sweet and just the right amount of feelings
and morning sick is a pain in the plot
2136306 I don't know how you got it right, but you did. Therefore I had to delete the comment. I can't spoil that much of the story!

2136069 I'm not entirely sure someone pukes the DAY AFTER they get pregnant.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
2138658 Yeah I did that on purpose :)
2138595 To be honest, I knew that I've jumped to conclusion after I posted that. My bad
2138761 well, obviously!
2139400 That's just my type of humour. I don't know if you can call it ironic humour or something.
2136339 Some call it battleship guesses, I call it alicorn Twilight.
E5!
Well, I haven't commented on the story for a while because no words would suffice to tell you how beautiful it is. Sure, I may have seen better writing and storytelling (no offense), but I really dig the story. Even though I don't like sad stories that much and I will probably shed so much liquid pride, it could be considered a sin. About this chapter. Yes, it is pretty short but I agree with you, to capture the mood of this situation it was just enough to read. I felt really sad at this part because I know how it is to say goodbye to your loved ones (we both and many other people do that too). Anyway, to finish my comment:
You're doing a damn fine job with the story and I'm waiting for more...Tee-hee 69 likes.
2147356 Thanks buddy, it took a while to hear from you but it was worth the wait. That's liquid pride of happiness.
Just out of curiosity, will we see Soarin in the war? Or will this focus on RD for the most part?
2151983 Good question. The story will be focusing on Rainbow, but a letter will describe the battle from Soarin's point of view. Well, probably. It depends on what works.
2138595 well actually sometimes yes. I'm gonna be an aunt soon and my sister-in-law had morning sickness just a few days after we found out!
2164347 Oh really? I have to check that out. I'm surprised nobody found that until now.
Yeah you're right, just found that. Thanks.
