This story is a sequel to Rainbow Factory

Prior to and after the events of Rainbow Factory, Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash have a talk--their last one until the confrontation of Absentia 20 years later.

I've loved the Rainbow Factory (and its sequel) for years. Discovered the contest with only a busy week left, and while I wish I could have done more, I definitely wanted to try my hand at it!
[Some spoilers for Rainbow Factory & Pegasus Device, idk what you're doing here if you haven't read them already but you definitely should!!]
