~~~~~Twilight Sparkle POV~~~~~
We finally arrived back in Ponyville with Rainbow Dash, it was around midnight as the moon was up in the sky, I smiled and winked at the group in the moonlight as it was a job well done but something caught my attention and startled me.
Rainbow Dash stood there and stared blankly in front of her like as if she was in a place she doesn’t know.
Her eyes shrank as she gasped, “Am I in Ponyville?”
“Yes you are in Ponyville Rainbow Dash.” I tried to reply calmly as I started to think whether the Memory spell worked, but it was confirmed that it had not worked well, shocking me instantly when she asked me.
“Where’s my dad?”
It was impossible for her to remember him after I casted the Memory spell on her.
“It was impossible,” I blurted out, “The memory spell should have completely replaced and erased your memory about him, how could it not worked, I had”
“It’s alright Twilight Sparkle, probably the memory spell did not work perfectly on her, here, let me cast it on her,” Princess Celestia said as her horned glowed and touched Rainbow Dash’s forehead, “That should do it, do you still remember your dad now?” She offered a comforting smiled.
We were shocked when tears formed in her eyes and muttered.
“Yes, I still do.”
“That’s not possible, Twilight cast the Memory spell on her together with me,” Princess Celestia quickly motioned to me.
“Yes Princess,” I replied as the both of us casted the memory spell together in a desperate attempt to rid of her memory of him, but to our dismay, it did not worked too, and she suddenly just ran away from us.
“Rainbow Dash!” I suddenly shouted, half expected that I would began to chase after her, “Applejack Rarity Fluttershy Pinkie chase after her make sure she don’t do anything foolish while me and Princess Celestia go back to the castle and find out an answer on why the spell didn’t work!”
“We’re on it!” Applejack shouted as they began to make chase after the fleeing Rainbow Dash.
3 hours had passed since then and the answer from one of the books was not what we expected it to be, the reason why the spell did not worked was that a magical barrier protected the memories against the spell. As a spiritual bond formed between them from the result of her spending time with him, growing up from a filly to a mare, it’s now permanently linked with the memory, removing the memory will cause the spiritual bond to be removed as well.
Hence taking part of her soul along with it and she will have a soul that it is neither complete nor reparable.
In other words, if we ever managed to remove the memory away from her, I gulped hard at this...
She will die...
“Don’t worry Twilight; I am sure there’s still another way around it or two.” Princess Celestia said as she scurried around the castle library.
I looked out from the castle window, the sun was rising, but Princess Celestia wasn’t raising up the sun, it was Princess Luna, she helped her raise up the sun while she continued to find out ways to solve the “crisis” now.
I just hope so...
~~~~~Applejack POV~~~~~
We barely caught up with her, even Pinkie didn’t stand a chance against her even though her galloping speed is faster than Rainbow Dash’s; the speed she was going was enough for her to execute a Sonic Rainboom without flying this time, thinkin bout that, why didn’t she just flew instead.
Oh, wait...
Did she not learned on how to fly during the time she spent on the other dimension, or is she that dumb not to realize that she had wings on her all the time she spent there?
We had been chasin for like 20 60 minutes?
Ah don’t know!
We were only focused on catchin up with Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash galloped to the park but didn’t stop, why in tarnation she had so much stamina in her, ah couldn’t keep up with her much longer at the speed she was going and we were still a distance from her, but thank sweet Celestia.
Ah didn’t have to.
She stumbled over something causin her to spin around before comin to a halt and didn’t moved a single inch, we started to hear faint sobs coming out from her as we approached her.
What ah saw stunned me...
She was crying and managed to sob some words out and it wasn’t that understandable to me, but ah could guess it was somethin like.
“Dad... wher ar you dad.... I want to see you... dad, where th hec ar you”
Ah didn't know that he meant so much to her, she never showed us that much emotion before.
“Rainbow...” Ah whispered softly as ah sat beside her, she suddenly just threw herself towards me and cried louder, her tears began to drench mah fur.
Ah was shocked beyond nothing, she was Rainbow Dash, da one and only, she was so tough and insensitive in the past, but now, she was crying over my neck like crazy, ah didn’t know what to do when ah heard what she sobbed out...
“Daddy please, come back... I love you dad... please... come back... Dad... where the heck are you...?!”
The rest of the group just sat around us, they stood there silent too, but ah couldn’t blame them for that either, neither did ah know what to do or say to her.
The most ah could do now was to pull her closer towards me and rubbed her back, almost half of mah fur was drenched with her tears when she finally stopped.
But it doesn’t matter to me.
The only thing that mattered to me now, was Rainbow Dash.
“Yar feeling better now Rainbow Dash?” Ah broke the silence between us.
She didn’t respond to me, she just rested her head against my soaked chest and let out some faint hiccups.
“There there Rainbow Dash... don’t cry, it’s alright... it’s going to be all okay... hush now Rainbow.” Ah cooed as ah petted her back.
Suddenly things took a turn for the worse when Pinkie said the silliest of all things ah could ever think of saying now.
“That dad of yours is really important to you... isn’t it Dashie?”
Ah stared at her, ah was like what the hay ya just said for, ya know that this isn’t a good time to ask that.
Rainbow Dash confirmed it; she started to cry again, oh for Pete’s sake Pinkie!
Ah took a long time to stop her from cryin just now...
“Why must ya ask her that in a time like this...?” Ah whined.
Pinkie just muttered an “Oops,” in response.
“Pinkie darling... how could you ask that question just now, you know that her father means a lot to her?” Rarity chimed in.
Both of them started to talk among themselves, words like father, dad, daddy, Rainbow Dash and Dashie began to fly around us.
“Err girls?” Fluttershy squeaked softly, she was the only pony that was aware of Rainbow Dash; she was crying louder as they continued to talk, too engrossed in their own conversation and oblivious to Fluttershy calling them.
“Err, girls, girls, g”
“SHUT UP!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!” Rainbow Dash suddenly shouted, immediately silencing them.
“Rainbow... ah” Ah trailed off and slowly got up, obeying her sudden request.
“No Applejack please!” She cried loudly, “I want you to stay!” She grabbed me and ah just sat down again.
Ah looked at them; they had not made a single move yet.
“Y’all heard her... she wants us to be left alone.” Ah quietly said to them while holding her.
Pinkie and Fluttershy just nodded and immediately left; Rarity was the last one who left us.
“Now take good care of her while we are gone darling.” Rarity said as she got up.
“Don’t worry Rarity, I will.” Ah smiled at her as she went to join them, turning mah attention back to her.
Ah closed mah eyes and began to rock her back and forth, petting her back gently while ah cooed softly towards her.
“There there Rainbow... ah’m here... don’t cry... hush... it’s going to be all okay, hush now...”
Thank Celestia that ah have a younger sis, if not ah wouldn’t know what to do now.
The sun was rising when her sobbing stopped; indicating that hours had already passed, ah looked up at the rising sun.
Why did Rainbow Dash have to suffer all of this...?
Ah went into deep thought, but ah woke up when ah heard faint snores coming from beside me.
Ah looked at her, she probably must have fallen asleep after all those crying she did, what happened to her, had been a huge blow to her, so ah guess it was a pretty good idea for her to get some sleep now.
Ah slowly got up and carried her onto mah back, being careful not to wake her up as ah trotted back to the farm.
Everypony in da house noticed that Rainbow Dash was sleeping on mah back, knowing that they’re bout to ask; ah simply just said that she had a long day and ah brought her to mah room, closin da door as ah let out a sigh.
Ah lay her onto mah bed gingerly and draped the blanket over her, and ah just slumped on the wooden floor, closing mah eyes to get some sleep as well.
~~~~~Rainbow Dash Dreaming POV~~~~~
“Let’s get you somewhere warmer...”
"I'm sure whatever brought you here will fix itself...”
"Goodnight daddy. I love you."
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU"
“Do you still love me?”
"You, don't recognize me, do you...”
"D-d-do I have to..”
"I belong here..."
“Dad, where are you dad, dad?”
“DAD!!!”
~~~~~Applejack POV~~~~~
Ah was startled awake when ah heard somepony shouted.
“Huh, what just happ-”Ah cut mahself off as ah knew who it was, ah turned mah head, “Rainbow...”
She sat there, hooves rubbing her eyes as she cried, she must have dreamt about her father during her sleep.
Ah got up and sat beside her; ah just rested my foreleg on her, still in a daze, realizing that ah was beside her; she threw herself towards me, forelegs finding their way around me, pulled me closer as she cried, ah woke up from mah daze and realized what just happened, and ah just repeated the whole process again.
Ah heard somepony opened the bedroom door; it was Applebloom.
“Ah heard somepony shouted dad, hey is that Rainbow Dash cryin.. ah thought she doesn’t cry?”
“Ah will explain to ya later on, could ya leave us alone for awhile please?”
Ah asked her, she just nodded confusedly while closing the door behind her, ah spent quite some time consoling her again before she sobbed out.
“Why did Twilight and Princess Celestia not rid the memories of my dad before they brought me back to Ponyville, why?”
Ah didn’t know what to say to her, the memory spell had not failed before.
“They tried to cast the memory spell on ya Rainbow Dash, but it didn’t managed to worked properly somehow.”
Ah cringed slightly when she cried louder.
“Easy there Rainbow Dash, hush now, I am still here, we are still here for you.”
“If the know that it ma not wor... wh... they sti brough me bac?”
The sobbing made it hard for me to understand what she just said.
“They didn’t know that the memory spell will fail on ya Rainbow Dash, this is the first time it failed.”
“You’re lying.”
“I can’t lie Rainbow, I am the Element of Honesty remember?”
“I can’t understand it.”
“Can’t understand what?”
“Why must the memory spell fail on me instead of all other ponies?”
Ah seriously have no answer to that either.
“Ah don’t know, ah guess the memory of yar dad is too strong to be ever erased from ya.”
“You bet, I still can vividly remember my dad, even after the both of them casted the memory spell on me.”
She tried to laugh, but failed; the damage had been done on her, and ah know that this isn’t a good time to ask her.
“May ah know how yar spent yar time with yar dad?”
Ah was expectin her to cry at this.
“When the spell Twilight casted misfired and landed on me, I was immediately sent to another dimension or something, I started to forget everything, what I remember was the aftermath of it I think.”
She paused as she closed her eyes, trying hard to remember.
What she said next totally caught me off guard.
“I was jolted awake, I don’t know where I am nor who am I, I looked upwards and saw a strange funny looking figure looking at me, whatever that thing was, it was so big and scary looking, said hi there to me, I didn’t respond at all, I was so stunned and scared as I don’t what was going to happen to me, looked around me, I was surrounded by the same colour everywhere and started to shiver as it was so cold, I ruffled my wings and huddled my legs together to try to keep warm, it grabbed me suddenly with something black, I tried to struggle out of its grasp but I can’t; I was trapped, it told me that it was alright and let’s get you somewhere warmer, I looked up at it in confusion, it just replied, don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you, it's getting late, and you'll freeze out here, I strangely kind of understood what it said and it’s was very warm and comfy inside, the tiredness I felt overwhelmed me; I squirmed slightly to get more comfortable and drifted back to sleep, I stirred again, but this time, I was in a different place, immediately started to venture around, walking around big black and brown stuffs, it asked me what are you doing here in my world, I looked up and stared blankly at it as I also don’t know why I am here either, it then asked me are you lost, I looked down, I don’t even have a clue, it said to me well until something happens, I guess you can stay with me, I looked up and started to feel insecure, it immediately said, don't worry, I'm sure whatever brought you here will fix itself within time, we just gotta wait, is that alright, I just smiled at it and I stayed there as I grew up, soon I found that it was a human guy and he is totally not the same as me, he continued to take good care of me and I came to know him as my dad, he called me Dashie, sometimes my little Dashie, taught me how to talk, how to write, bought stuffs for me, even gave me a bedroom for me to sleep in and even taught me how to fly even though he does not have wings himself, I managed to do a Sonic Rainboom sometime later too, the 15 years I spent with him was perfect, my dad was happy, I was happy, until you all came along and destroyed it and I don’t need to explain it to you either as you should know what you all had done to us.”
When she finished saying everything, ah was beyond dumbfounded.
She still remembered everything?
Even after the Memory spell was casted on her 3 times in a row?
“You can still remember everything, don’t you...?”
“I don’t know... I can remember almost everything... but... there is bits missing in my memory... I guess the memory spell did work to a tiny bit extend.”
She laughed pathetically and cried, but this time around ah immediately sprang into action.
“Hush now Rainbow Dash, I am sure that Twilight and Princess Celestia are finding out a way to fix this once and for all.”
Ah cooed as ah looked out of the window, the sun was setting, ah wonder how Twilight and Princess Celestia’re doing now.
She stopped crying but ah continued to pet her, surprisingly...
She didn’t refuse.
She just let out a sigh and relaxed herself.
“Rainbow...?” Ah began softly.
“Yes?”
“Ya want somethin to eat; we had not eaten for quite awhile now.”
“I can walk...” She said softly as she got up, breaking the embrace, “let’s go together, and thanks Applejack, for accompanying me.”
“No problemo R D, yar mah best friend after all, ah couldn’t possibly leave you alone at time like this.” Ah smiled as we went to the dining hall.
~~~~~Rainbow Dash POV~~~~~
Applejack managed whipped something up and we both ate together in peace, I am still trying hard to forget the memories of my dad now, knowing that I will not be able to see him again just made me more depressed.
Don’t even think that I am begin a weakling now, how the heck do you like it if you are separated away from your father and the memories managed to stay even after the memory spell had been casted on you three times in a row, three times!
If you enjoy it or whatever...
I don’t care and I don’t!
“Rainbow” I just looked at her blankly.
“Ah know it’s hard for ya to forget about yar father, but ya shouldn’t just let it eat ya up, ya got to live on with yar life, if not, yar’ll be wastin the efforts yar father made for raising to who ya are now, and ya should be able to remember who ya’re when Twilight casted the memory on ya, even though now that the memories of yar dad are still inside ya and maybe there for the rest of yar life, yar life still must go on without him and ah know it’s difficult for ya... but we are here to pull you through this.”
She is right...
I cannot let all the efforts my dad made go to waste, I still got a long way to go.
This is probably the only way of repaying him for what my dad did, brought me up for 15 years, despite how different we are from each other and are worlds apart.
“You are right Applejack” I perked my head up and smiled at her, “I still need to live on for myself, and for my dad too, for reminding that this is not the ending of me yet and most importantly... I still have a purpose in life to live on as the Element of Loyalty.”
She just smiled back and continued eating.
Wherever you are now.
I love you dad.
Your little daughter always.
Your little Dashie forever.
~~~~~Twilight Sparkle POV~~~~~
“This is not possible,” Princess Celestia said as she removed the last book from the shelve and glanced through, “there’s no other way to it, Rainbow Dash will have her memory of her dad, for the rest of her life.”
“There’s no other way?” I said blankly lost for emotion.
“There’s no other way,” She shook her head disappointingly as she placed the last book back into the shelf and sighed, “How could just 15 days without her in Equestria transformed this into a problem that isn’t solvable.”
A crazy idea suddenly came into my mind when I heard the word transformed.
“That’s it!” I shouted, immediately catching their attention from my sudden outburst.
“Well then... tell us what you have in mind Twilight Sparkle.” Princess Luna said curiously, as she sat beside us.
“The transformation spell!” I shouted, eyes beamed with hope once again.
“The transformation what?!” Princess Luna blurted out instantly.
“The transformation spell...! We could use it on her father and transform him into a pony!”
“That’s the craziest idea I have ever heard!” Princess Luna quickly blurted out; I could not blame her for her reaction as my idea beyond crazy.
“Sorry Twilight, but I got to agree with my little sis, we can’t do it... we can’t take another living being from another dimension, bring him into Equestria and transform him into a pony, we will be taking a being away from his very existence in that world... if we did that I am not sure if there is going to be any effect on that world and him, even if we managed to find a way around it... it’s never been done before, there’s just too many risks behind it.”
I quickly brushed the idea away as it made total sense, there were so many unknown effects and consequences behind it, I bobbed my head down slightly in disappointment.
“Even though that’s was the craziest idea I have ever heard,” Princess Luna immediately caught my attention at this; I looked up at her and she smiled, “We could give it a try, even though it’s never done before, it’s only going to be done once, how hard could it be?”
“Are you crazy my little sister, has the crazy effect already got into you for not sleeping the entire day?”
I saw her face and I could not forget it; her mouth was widely apart and her eyes widen like as if it was going to pop out.
Before you continue to read on, I would want you to listen to this, Battalions Unite as you continue, this should give you an extra kick while you are reading the rest of it.
“No, I’m not crazy, and I am still fine, I could survive days without sleeping, even though Twilight’s idea was crazy, doesn’t mean it will not work, every spell got its consequences behind it and probably her idea it’s the only solution and most importantly...” Princess Luna nodded at me, “this spell could reunite Rainbow Dash with her father.”
“Now you are taking her side too...” She sighed, “This trouble would not surface if Twilight Sparkle had not casted the spell in the first place, and everything would still be perfect then...”
I slammed my head onto the crouch and started to cry.
“Sorry Twilight, I didn’t mean to.”
It was too late; the realization hit me, hard.
I was the one who caused this to erupt, was the one who casted the spell, transported Rainbow Dash to another world, responsible for what happened to her, caused her to lose her memory, become a filly again and made her spent 15 years there.
I couldn’t help it as I could not contain the spell and misfired it onto her.
I felt something touched me, I looked up, a blurry dark purplish figure was standing beside me; it was Princess Luna.
She stroked my mane and cooed, “It’s alright Twilight, everypony make mistakes, it’s not like you wanted it to happen in the first place, it’s alright, hush now...”
“I guess my younger sister is right, and I am sorry Twilight,” I looked at her as she got up, “Doesn’t mean that we had not use the transformation spell on another being before, doesn’t mean that we could not use it once, if he agrees to it...”
“I am sure he will agree to it.”
“What’s makes you think so little sister?” Princess Celesta puzzled.
“You said that you had left some of his memories behind upon Rainbow Dash’s request right?”
The both of us just nodded confusedly in response.
“Since he still has the memories of her ‘daughter’ and Rainbow Dash still has hers, doesn’t it make senses?”
“Little sister,” Princess Celestia responded, “The time lapse between his world and our world is a year to a day, it’s almost been a day for us, that means a year for him, that’s a very long time and he may probably had gotten over and carried on with his life.”
“Well...” Princess Luna shrugged in response, “Even if he doesn’t agree to it, we still could let him see her again right?”
“Princess Luna is right,” I nodded to her agreeing, “Even though her ‘father’ may not agree to be transformed into a pony, at least we could still let them see other again.”
“I hate to say it, but the both of you are right...” Princess Celestia said as she gazed out of the window, a determined tone present in her voice as she continued.
“We’ll need to find out any problems that might surface if he allowed us to transform him into a pony; we’ll also need to keep this a secret from her till all the problems are known, we only got one chance at this... and failure is not an option.”
~~~~~Your POV~~~~~
It has been almost a year since my little Dashie returned to Ponyville, the memories of her remained expect there were bits taken out by Princess Celestia and strangely... all of the memories left were calming and soothing... and finally, after 3 months of trying to get over the fact that I wouldn’t be able to see her again.
I had successfully returned to the same old, boring, uninteresting normal schedule I used to have before I met her... wake up, take a shower, go to work, knock off from work, go back home, take another shower, sleep and repeating the whole cycle over and over again.
I regularly took a walk to the place where the park used to be where me and her used to play, I could still vividly remember the day when she successfully broke the sound barrier, unleashing her first Sonic Rainboom while accidentally setting off car alarms and breaking windows everywhere from the shockwave produced, I always chuckled upon the thought of it, and it was the most memorable moment in my life.
My friends stood by me all the while, as they were aware of my sudden change of attitude and personality, and if weren't for them...
I wouldn’t had pulled through and probably ended my life a long time ago, thinking that I would be able to either see my parents in the afterlife or be magically teleported to Ponyville and reunite with her again.
I sat on my bed as I began flipping through the pictures in the photo album I took with her during the 15 years we spent together, from her first bath... the first birthday cake we made together... her first birthday... her first drawing... her first preened feather... and even a snapshot of her Sonic Rainboom.
Turing to the final page, I took out the letter that she wrote to me; I read everything and turned it over, and as always...
Greeted by little Dashie's cute filly smile, her ruby pink eyes sparkled beautifully in the daylight while her mane was in a mess.
Smiling happily, I gingerly placed the letter back into the photo album and closed it, sat it on the bedside drawer, turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep, another boring day has ended, and I was still being hopeful that I could see her again...
Even though, it might not come true.
Wherever you are my little Dashie.
I hope to reunite with you again...
I love you always...
And...
Thank you Twilight Sparkle...
For giving me the chance to live with her for 15 years...
~~~~~Rainbow Dash POV~~~~~
I woke up and immediately realized that I was lying on top of Applejack, my head resting against her chest, feeling it rising up and down with a gentle rhythm, her forelegs wrapping around me and I blushed as I remembered what happened yesterday...
It was late in the night but I didn’t want to go home yet as I was afraid of being lonely and she allowed me to stay, when we were about to sleep, she told me that I should sleep on her bed while she slept on the floor, feeling bad, I asked her to sleep on the bed too.
She persisted as the bed wasn’t that big enough for the both of us, I told her it does not matter as long as she could sleep comfortably and I wouldn’t mind at all, she soon gave up and I made space for her as the both of us went to sleep, probably I had ended up snuggling into her while we were asleep and...
I hate to admit it...
I enjoyed snuggling up into her, I felt comfortable, peaceful, and even secure when I am around with her, I just don’t know why nor I could put my hooves onto it...
Even though, we were best friends and rivals...
She still meant something very special to me, wait...
Am I in love with Applejack...?!
I jerked my head upwards and stared at her.
No, it couldn’t be...
I couldn’t possibly fall in love with her... We were both mares...
On the other hoof...
Could we actually fall in love with each other despite the fact that we were both mares...?
I rested my head back onto her and closed my eyes...
Does she feel the same way towards me...?
What the hay was I thinking?!
“Looks like yer awake too huh, Sugarcube?”
“Huh...?” I blurted out as I shook my head and woke up from the thought, looking at her in a daze.
She looked at me with an affectionate smile, “Yer wanna take a shower before we get some breakfast?”
“Uh sure” I nodded, trying hard to look away from her eyes, “Thanks...?”
She broke the embrace and directed me to the bathroom and took turns afterwards, after we were done, I followed her back to her bedroom.
And... oh... my... gosh!
While we were heading back to her bedroom...
She looked so 20% cooler without her mane and tail untied and without her cowgirl hat!
Her golden mane was so... I don’t know! Her mane was the almost the same shape and length as mine, expect mine was Rainbow coloured while hers was golden yellow and her tail spread out and swung beautifully as she moved.
The sunlight that managed to enter the bedroom window casted a beautiful glow around her and I simply just stared at her in awe, she was like the most beautiful pony I had ever seen!
She contrasted beautifully while her emerald eyes sparkled in the daylight and I had the sudden urge to go and kiss her, I blushed slightly at the thought.
She was about to tie her mane and tail when.
“Could you don’t tie your mane and tail?” I blurted out softly.
She looked at me, raising an eyebrow, “Why not...?”
“Cause...” I stuttered nervously, and the words just right came out of my mouth, “You looked nicer this way to me!” I instantly slammed my mouth shut, covered my mouth with one of my hoof and blushed.
What the hay was going wrong with me...?!
Did I just say that Applejack looked nicer to me...?
She looked at me with surprise and I just stared at her blushing... and after a few awkward moment of silence in between us...
She smiled affectionately, “Okay, I won’t since you said that, and thanks for the nice compliment too, but just for today...”
I just smiled embarrassingly and I could still feel my cheek was hot.
“Now come on, we haven’t taken out breakfast yet,” She moved towards the bedroom door and I just followed her behind, I just couldn’t get my eyes off her all the while.
We went to the dining hall and had our breakfast together with her family, they happily welcomed me despite the extremely short notice and I thanked them, and they said it was no problemo... it’s all worth it if I had successfully gotten through this.
“Rainbow,” She spoke and I gazed at her, “Mah big bro and ah are going applebuckin later on, care to join us Sugarcube?”
I smiled at the idea, “Sure, at least that will help me keep my mind off my dad for awhile...”
In addition to keep me distracted from all these funny feelings too...
We headed out to the field and they taught me the techniques to Applebucking and were very patient with me the whole time despite the fact that they were supposed to be Applebucking a long time ago, I still only managed to kick around 10 apples down and there were at least 60 apples on every single tree, after several more tries while increasing the force I had used, I managed to kick half of the remaining apples down and being motivated from the results, I doubled the strength and the rest fell down.
I switched basket as it was already full and went to the next tree, gave it a hard kick and all the apples fell down, I smiled, “Hey!” Approaching the next tree, readied myself, and kicked, the tree moved sharply as all the apples fell down into the basket, Applejack and Big Macintosh were astonished as I placed my 2nd basket onto the ground.
“It took mah a long time to kick all the apples down within one good kick and yer just tried for bout 30 minutes and were able to kick all the apples down within one kick already?”
Grinning at her as if I did another Sonic Rainboom in front of them, “Well, what do you know Applejack? I am still a fast learner after all!”
With my confidence and competiveness, I thought this was a good time to ask for a challenge and I did not have a challenge for a very long time too...
“Applejack and Big Macintosh...?”
“Yes Sugarcube...?”
“Y-eap?”
“Since I pretty much mastered Applebucking already, how about we have a challenge with each other, who has the most of number of baskets filled with apples wins, this will be our counting spot,” Pointing at the ground beneath us, “The challenge ends when Applebloom called us for lunch, are you all game for it” I grinned widely as I emphasized the rest, “Or are you all chickens...?!”
To make it more interesting, I felt a sudden wind blew over us, shaking our mane wildly in the wind.
“A challenge you want is a challenge you’ll get”
“You’re on!” Applejack exclaimed, pointing at the baskets beside me, “But those two baskets aren’t counted, ah want this to be a fair match.”
“Even without these 2 baskets...” I said as I moved the baskets away from the counting spot, “I am still sure to win!”
You were under estimating my abilities Applejack... I am Rainbow Dash, the 1 and only, the only pony that has the ability to do a Sonic Rainboom!
“We will see about that Rainbow... Ya ready?”
“Anytime...” I grinned, “Anywhere...” I lowered my back and readied myself, “Anyplace...”
All right then...
In 3

GO...!
I dug my hooves into the ground and went for a quick launch towards the nearest tree.
I grunted and kicked and all the apples on the tree immediately fell down into the basket, I quickly picked it up and galloped towards the counting place as fast as I could but Applejack and Big Macintosh had already gotten one basket filled with apples within the same time as me and our eyes met before we split.
We were tied up with each other until Applejack took over the lead, no way am I going to let her beat me when I am around, I had 5 so far, soon 6 7 8, and Big Macintosh took over Applejack, followed by Applejack, they were constantly taking over the lead expect me as they were more experienced in Applebucking than I am, I felt tired but I pressed on, determined to win this challenge, and my baskets slowly increased in size.
While competing, I remembered the first time when I met Twilight; she dared me to prove her that I could clear the skies within 10 seconds, remembering me flying fast, performing spins, and turns while kicking the clouds with ease, successfully proving to her that I could clear the skies in 10 seconds flat...
What I remembered next caused my adrenaline to kick in was...
It all happened during a race in flight camp...
Where I stood alone against all odds to defend Fluttershy’s honour...
I was in the lead, crossing the loops with ease, I never flown like that before...! The freedom was unlike anything I ever felt...! The speed! The adrenaline! The wind on my mane! I liked it... A LOT...!
One of the bullies managed to caught up with me and banged me, calling me Rainbow Crash as he sped off, I quickly regained control and flew faster and closed up with him fast, and turns out the only thing I liked more that flying fast...
Sending the bully spiralling downwards later on in revenge as I passed him.
Was WINNING...!
A glowing white barrier appeared in front of me and it started to form colours that a Rainbow would have and it was getting harder for me to see what was up in front of me, but I squinted and continued picking up speed, and as I neared towards the bottom loop, crossing the loop and shot upwards.
I felt a shockwave erupted behind me and I looked back.
I unleashed my first Sonic Rainboom!
Most ponies thought that the Sonic Rainboom was a just an old mare’s tale... But on that day... The day I discovered racing! I proved that the legends were true! I made the impossible happened...!
I felt the adrenaline rush and increased in speed and force, steadily catching up with them and took the lead, but I kept on increasing in speed and sweet apple acres, time flew very fast while we were competing each other and soon enough...
“Rainbow Dash, mah big bro and big sis!”
Applebloom called us and we went to place our last baskets at the counting spot, she was approaching us, “It’s time for lunch,” Noticing the amount of baskets filled with apples beside us, she jerked her head slightly, “Did yer just Applebucked all of this?”
“Yes, we all did!” I said proudly, “The 3 off us were having a challenge, who has the most number of baskets filled with apples when you called us for lunch wins, could you count the baskets, I am sure to win!” I laughed.
She nodded and counted, but she counted mine several times, something was definitely up...
“Okay ah have counted over again and again just to be sure...” She breathed, “Mah big sis...” Looking at Applejack, “Yer got 104 baskets...”
“Ah never thought I could Applebuck that much apples within a few hours,” Applejack laughed.
Looking at Big Macintosh, “Mah big bro, yer got 110 baskets.”
I hate to admit it, that was huge number of baskets and I was afraid that I would lose to them in this challenge...
“Rainbow Dash...”
I breathed hard at this, please let me win... please let me win this challenge!
Oh come on what is it...? Out with it already...!
She grinned at me, “Yer won!”
“Huh?” I exclaimed slightly, “I won...?!”
She nodded, “I don’t know how ya did it, but, yer got 145 baskets!”
“Woah Nelly!” Applejack exclaimed and smiled, “Now that’s what applebuckin!”
“Alright!” I screamed as I wrapped one of my forelegs around her and pulled her close, nudging her playfully, “I told you I would win didn’t I Applejack?”
“Yes ah know...” Rolling her eyes, “But don’t show off...”
“I won’t show off...!” Pausing slightly as I landed back on all fours, “Remember what we had learned after we tied for last place with each other at Running Of The Leaves, now come on,” Walking towards the house, “Lunch doesn’t come to us you know...”
While we were eating together, I couldn’t stop looking at her, she was so beautiful without her mane untied and without her cowgirl hat and she was aware that I was looking at her constantly, but she doesn’t seem to mind...
I also realized that she has been calling me Sugarcube most of the time now too, and I liked being called that by her... and does that means that she has feelings for me too...?
“Err, Sugarcube...?”
“Huh?” I shook my head as I woke up from the thought, looking at her, “Yes Applejack...?”
She smiled as she finished her meal, “Now because of the competition we had earlier on, the apples we harvested were enough to last 3 days, so we got nothing to do now...”
Oh, those sweet lips of hers...
“So what’cha wanna do now?”
I suddenly thought about taking a nap on the tree like what I used to do when Applejack was Applebucking, it has been a long time since I last did it too...
Should I ask her to join me...?
I was about to reply when she interrupted me, looking at me quizzically, “Let me guess...?”
Does she know what was I thinking...?
Raising an eyebrow at me, “Yer wanna take a nap on a tree like you used to do, rite?”
“You read my mind!” I exclaimed happily, “Care to join, Applejack...?”
Looking at me, she nodded, “Uh, sure...?”
I looked around; examining the main hall... the space was big enough for me to fly, and the door wasn’t a distance away from us too... so being confident of my judgement, I went beside her and lowered my back against her and spread my wings open, “Well hop on, I’ll fly us out of here,” Looking at her, I smirked, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful not to knock any of the stuffs in your house down.”
~~~~~Applejack POV~~~~~
Ah trusted her and hopped onto her, she flapped her wings and began to take flight, avoiding all the stuffs in da house with ease and flew us out, ah was expecting her to go find a tree quick but she spent some time flying around with her head darting around furiously as if she was searching for something...
“Uh huh!” She suddenly exclaimed and catching mah attention, stopping beside a huge tree branch, “This should do it!”
Ah got off her and lay on the tree branch, facing the leaves above me, “Do what...?”
The answer came out when she landed on me and furled her wings back.
I blushed slightly, “Uh... Rainbow...?”
Closing her eyes, she rested onto me, “I enjoy being around with you...”
Ah smiled sweetly as ah wrapped one of my forelegs around her and began stroking her mane gingerly with the other, she immediately relaxed herself against me in response and ah just don’t know why ah liked stroking her mane so much, looking down at her; her eyes was closed with a smile on her lips, indicating that she was enjoying it too.
Ah continued stroking her mane, “Sugarcube...?” Ah asked softly.
“Yes Applejack?” She replied without looking up.
“Ya like me stroking yer mane... do you...?” Ah asked softly.
A, “Mhm” and a nod came out from her before she nested her head back onto my mah smiling, ah just smiled and continued stroking her.
It just had been a day and all... but ah realized that we had gotten much closer to each other, even though we were best friends...
She meant something very special to me now, ah also realized that ah had been calling her Sugarcube most of the time too, and she doesn’t seem to mind... in fact, ah could tell that she enjoyed being called that by me, and ah am starting to suspect that ah had feelings for her...
Ah looked at her, never had ah been so close to get a closed up view of her before...
Her mane displayed all six colours of the Rainbow... Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Magenta... her coat cyan coloured, same like the colour that could be found on her mane and tail... Her rainbow coloured tail, evenly coloured to form a perfect rainbow that would look like up in the sky, and her cutie mark was a single Blue, Yellow, and Red coloured lightning bolt with a cloud on top of it displaying her passion for winning, and to top it all off...
The sunlight contrasted all of her colours beautifully against me, and even though she doesn’t brush her mane much, it was still smooth so the touch, soon, ah started to hear faint snores coming out from her, she had fallen asleep real fast, and ah hate to say it...
Hay she was cute when she was sleeping!
And...
If ah am in love with her...
Ah just hope that she felt the same way too...
Soon, ah felt tired as ah let out a yawn, smiling at her, ah stopped stroking her as I wrapped my forelegs around her and pulled her closer, ah had a strange urge to kiss her while looking at her, and, so, thinking this was a good time to do it...
Ah lowered mah head and gave her a tender peck on her forehead, she suddenly snuggled deeper into mah chest and smiled, muttering softly, “Applejack...”
Ah smiled as ah closed mah eyes, slowing drifting off to sleep.
Sleep tight Rainbow Dash...
Ah love ya...
~~~~~Twilight Sparkle POV~~~~~
It was late in the evening and we had finally pointed out all of the problems that might occur during the process of transforming him into a pony.
1.
He was not a pony in the first place...
We would need to find two willing ponies that could allow us to copy some of their features into him, why not just one pony instead...
Simple... if we used only one, we would be creating an exact replica of them and we wouldn’t want that from happening, so using two ponies would do the trick.
2.
This would be the first time we would use the transformation on another being, and in order to ensure that it would work perfectly, we would need sufficient magic for it, so...
It made senses for me, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to cast it together as the three of us were the strongest magic users around.
3.
We knew the transformation effect would only last for 3 days...
We would need to cast the time extension spell on him so that it would not expire.
4.
Due to the major time differences between his world and our world, he could transform into a younger version of himself when he stepped into our world, same like what had happened to Rainbow Dash when I accidentally transferred her into his world...
All of his memories would be lost too, so we would need to cast a time protection on him before he enters our world in order to prevent mishaps from happening later on.
However, we would need to remove the time protection spell away from him as it would interfere with the time extension spell, that meant, he would become a younger version of himself, but as a colt this time, and all of his memories could still be lost, but we got the memory spell for it and he could still grow up and become a stallion again.
Since we were confident that we had listed all the problems out, they gave me the task to gather all of them, brief them about it, so that we could immediately teleport to his world as soon as possible as every second counts now because we calculated the time differences between his world and our world, since our 1 day equals to his 1 year, half a day equals his half a year, 1 hour equals to around 15 days, 1 minute to equals 6 hours, and that meant...
When every single second had passed, 6 minutes had already passed for him, so the longer we dragged this on, the lesser the chance we could do what we hoped.
That he would agree with us to transform him into a pony and reunite with Rainbow Dash again.
I did not galloped all the while as I immediately teleported to Fluttershy’s house, knocking at her door impatiently, “Fluttershy, I have found a way to fix Rainbow Dash’s problem, but we need to gather everypony first!”
Her door opened and she appeared, closing her door behind her, “Oh hi Twilight, what’s the rush...?”
Preparing for the teleportation spell, “Because every second counts now, we got to find Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow first!”
My words lingered in the air as I took us to the Carousel Boutique in a flash.
We were galloping towards Applejack’s farm as I was exhausted after using the teleportation spell 4 times in a row, and I used the time to explain to them about what we were about to do next, hopefully that Rainbow Dash was there too.
Finally, after 25 minutes had passed, we were closing in on the farm when we noticed an orange and a blue figure lying down on a tree some distance away and it was at night already, that meant that almost two years had passed for her dad already.
Fluttershy panted as she flew; narrowing her eyes as she pointed in front of her, “Hey is that Rainbow Dash, and Applejack, napping on the tree together?”
“Why it is,” Rarity panted slightly, “Looks like that they had been, really close with each other recently...”
“Oh goodie!” Pinkie bounced as she said happily; why does she still have so much energy in her, “Does that mean that they are having a relationship with each other, that would be a great reason for a party too if Dashie’s father agreed to be transformed into a pony.”
“Pinkie,” I panted slightly as we closed in on them, “Party later, Rainbow Dash, and her father first,” Tiredness was starting to overwhelm me as we closed the last few remaining yards in between us, “Time, please, don’t fail on us now!”
~~~~~Applejack POV~~~~~
Applejack! Rainbow Dash!
Applejack! Rainbow Dash!
Applejack! Rainbow Dash!
Applejack! Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash and ah were startled awake by the noise...
“Huh?” Ah said as turned mah head and found out that Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity were galloping towards us, something was definitely up and ah realized that Rainbow Dash hadn’t made a move yet and ah was worried that they would see us.
Nudging her gently, “Err, Sugarcube...?” Ah muttered softly, “Ah am fine staying like this, but they could see us...”
“Yeah so...?” She smiled at me, still wrapped in mah forelegs, ah just looked at her blankly, she sighed as she looked towards the approaching group, “Doesn’t matter anyways, they probably saw us long time ago, would it make any difference if we actually separate from each other now...?”
“Okay...?” Ah just replied softly.
They were beside us now and in fact did notice us, but they doesn’t seem to give it any thought about it...
“Hey girls... what’s up?”
Twilight was trying to regain her breath as she panted, “I have, found, a way...” Rainbow Dash immediately knew what it was; she broke the embrace and jumped off.
Landing on all fours, she asked eagerly, “You have found a way to settle this?”
Ah was happy for her as they finally found a way to settle this, but they suddenly turned to each other and nodded, grinning slightly as ah jumped off the tree, something was definitely up their hooves now....
Twilight nodded, “Yes, we found the last and only way to fix it and we could also reunite you with your father again Rainbow Dash...”
~~~~~Rainbow Dash POV~~~~~
Was this a dream?
Did I hear correctly, what Twilight said?
My eyes was beaming with happiness, “You have found a way to reunite me, With my dad...?!”
“Yes, the princesses and I had agreed together to transform your father into a pony, if he.”
I began to flap my wings as I cut her off impatiently, “Well what are we waiting for let’s go!”
Somepony managed to grab my tail and stopped me, I looked back and I knew it...
Applejack...
Letting go of my tail, she jerked her head slightly, “Simmer down Rainbow, Twilight hasn’t finished yet...”
I sighed as I landed back on all fours, nodded at Twilight, asking her to continue.
She looked up into the night sky, “Well, we have found a way to transform your dad into a pony, if he allows us in the first place and since we have not done this before...” Looking at me, “We don’t know what will happen later on, but first...” Saying as she looked around, “We will need two ponies who can let us copy some of their features in him in order to fully transform into a pony, so who can volunteer themselves?”
“I will be one of them of course; he’s my dad after all!” I said loudly.
Everypony was thinking hard as it had not been done before and there maybe unknown consequences and side effects behind it too, probably nopony would be willing do that for me and that simply meant...
I wouldn’t be able to reunite with my dad again, ah just sighed sadly at the thought, lowering my head.
“Since Rainbow Dash volunteered herself...” Applejack spoke up and I looked at her, “Ah will volunteer too...”
The words accidentally came out of my mouth, “What are you crazy Applejack?!”
She was my best friend, okay probably more than that now, I think...?
I couldn’t possibly let anything happen to her, she meant a lot to me and I just couldn’t bear to lose her in anyway...
I muttered softly, “You’re my best friend Applejack; I can’t let anything happen to you...”
She moved closer towards me, “Rainbow...” Wrapping her foreleg around me, “Since Twilight had found a way to reunite you with your dad...” Pausing as she looked at me, continuing with a smile on her face, “Ah don’t care that it’s never been done before or whatever unknown consequences are behind it... as long as ya can be reunited with yer dad, ah wouldn’t mind taking up the risk for ya Rainbow, and besides... ah will do anything for ya Sugarcube...”
“Applejack...” I replied softly, “I don’t know what to say...”
“Hush now Rainbow...” She cooed, “We’ll do it together, alright Sugarcube?”
I nodded, “Thanks Applejack...”
She just replied, “No need to thank me.”
“But there’s a problem...” Twilight spoke.
“What problem...?” The both of us said at the same time while paying full attention.
“Well,” She cleared her throat, looking at me she continued, “You still remember what happened after the spell had misfired onto you right?”
I nodded blankly at her, “Yes...?”
”You had been turned into a filly... well that would happen to your father later on too, and he would probably be the same age as...”
Looking at Applejack, my dad would be the same age as Applejack, my dad was 35 now, and Applejack was 18, going 19...
“How old is Applebloom...?”
“Uh...” Stuttering slightly, “8...?”
“Okay, given my calculation about the time differences between his world and our world...” She closed her eyes and breathed, “He should be probably the same age as her, or two years younger or older after we finished transforming him.”
My father would become younger than Applejack, and even though I am a year younger than Applejack, he would still be half my age...?
“My father is going to be younger than me...” I looked around, “And..., all... of us...?” Stuttering slightly, the words came out, “You got to be kidding me...?”
“Hate to say it,” Twilight sighed as she nodded, “Yes, but there’s a side effect to it too, once he becomes younger, he will also lose his memories just like what happened to you, he may or may not remember you after we transform him, but don’t worry,” Quickly adding in while she pointed at her horn, “We got the memory spell to fully restore all of his memories.”
Applejack laughed at this and I looked at her with surprise, was this supposed to be a joke in the first place?
“Ah think this time around, instead of you being his little Dashie...” She chuckled and I puzzled at her, “He will be your little,” Closing her eyes as she thought, “We don’t know his name... but your little something,” Looking at me, she continued with a smile on her face, “Not to mention that we may become his parents or rather his big sis and he would also look like the both of us too.”
“Okay,” I breathed in, rolling my eyes as I simply just said, “As long as I am reunited with my dad again, it’s alright...”
“Not to mention darling, since he walked on twos before,” She emphasized as she tried walking on her hind legs, resembling my father’s walking, “You may need to teach him how to walk on all fours...” Getting down on all fours and walked like what we ponies do, eyes shown with concern, “Not just two.”
I looked at her as I replied, “Okay, how hard could that be, I can teach him how to walk on all fours.”
“Dashie,” Pinkie pointed at her mouth, “Does he write with his mouth?”
“No, he doesn’t...” I said flatly, “He writes with his hands.” Using one of my hoofs and scribbled something onto the ground resembling him writing.
“Well since he doesn’t write with his mouth,” Fluttershy chimed in softly, “How would he be able to write later on then,” I looked at her agreeing as she got a point at this, “He doesn’t has hands later on you know?”
“Well...” Pausing as I thought hard, I looked up at the night sky, “He taught me how to write with my mouth, I could teach him that too, my dad could also go to school with Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle and learn new stuffs too...”
Twilight spoke, catching out attention, “Okay then Rainbow Dash, I guess you are pretty alright with it, do you want to go ahead with it.”
I nodded at her, “Yes, I’m sure.”
Twilight breathed as she looked around, “Well then, are you all ready to make this come true for Rainbow Dash ponies?”
“Yar bet cha ah am!” Applejack exclaimed.
“Yes Mdm!” Pinkie shouted happily.
Rarity and Fluttershy just nodded...
I exclaimed excitedly, “Since we are all ready, Let’s all go now!”
Her horned started to glow in the dark and casted a faint glow around us, “Okay prepare yourself to be teleported to the castle, and Applejack”
Applejack puzzled, “Yes Twilight?”
She said before a flash suddenly appeared around us and disappeared, “You looked nicer without your cowgirl hat and your mane and tail untied.”
We found ourselves standing in front of the Princesses in the castle, and all of us immediately bowed down, “Princess!”
“At ease everypony.” Princess Celestia said as she started to approach us.
Princess Luna was approaching us too, “Twilight, I hope you have briefed them already.”
“Yes I did Princess.”
Nodding at us, “Good, let’s all begin, shall we?”
I grinned at her, “We’re all ready when you are Princess!”
Three of them faced each other and nodded, they closed their eyes and their horn glowed brighter and brighter, a flash appeared around us but it didn’t fade for quite some time, when the light faded away from us, we were in a place where little light was in.
We heard Fluttershy’s voice around us, “It’s so dark...”
“Oh don’t worry Darling,” Rarity replied in the dark, “We are still together, nothing to be afraid off.”
“Wait a second...” I blurted out as I looked at the surrounding, turning my head slightly to the left, “Is that a couch?” Looking further, “A TV...?” I trailed off while looking at the right, “And a table with 2 chairs around it?” I turned and faced Twilight, “How you 3 did managed to get us inside here?”
“Well, since the 3 of us were casting the spell...” She smiled in the dark, “Princess Luna casted the time protection spell on us while Princess Celestia opened the portal, and I simply just work out the co-ordinates of your dad house from there, and it worked well altogether,” Smiling as she looked around my dad’s main hall which lead to 3 pathways, “So where’s your dad?”
Looking around in the dark, “It’s at night, so he should be in bed by now, follow me...”
I lead them up the stairs and into the hallway, we finally stopped at a door in front of me, it was my dad’s bedroom door, I opened the door with my forelegs and had some difficulty opening it as I don’t have hands myself...
I trotted over to his side and shook him...
~~~~~Your POV~~~~~
Dad
Dad
Wake up dad
Wake up!
“Yes my little Dashie, I will wake up soon...”
NO YOU’LL WAKE UP NOW!
I felt something hit me repeatedly, no something more like a hoof!
My eyes opened as I shrieked, “Huh, what the heck?!”
I saw heck lot’s of funny figures that looked like ponies standing in front of me, I quickly turned on the bedside lamp, and I did not believe what I saw in front of me.
The words just came right out of my mouth and I instantly hugged her, “My little Dashie...” Hugging me back as I looked around, “Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, what are you doing here, did you came back so that I could see her again?”
“Well that, and another thing too...” She laughed.
I puzzled slightly as I began to sit up straight, “Well what is it then?”
“Well, Twilight, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had agreed together to use the transformation spell to transform you into a pony, so that you can reunite with me dad!”
I could not believe what I just heard; I could reunite her again finally after one and a half years.
But
This time in Ponyville...?
It was too good to be true...!
“I love too!”.
Twilight looked at me, “There’s a few thing...”
“Well what is it then...?”
“1, Rainbow Dash and Applejack have volunteered themselves to allow us to copy some of their features into you to transform you into a pony, two, about the time differences between your world and our world, you may transform into a younger version of yourself, but it can be avoided for now when we cast the time protection spell on you however, we will need to remove it as we need to cast the time extension spell on you so that the effect will stay on you and that means that you will be around the same age as Applebloom, Applejack’s younger sister, she’s currently 8 but don’t worry you, can still grow back, and you may lose some if not all of your memories, but don’t worry, we got the memory spell, three, once you agree to it, there’s no turning back and your existence will be entirely wiped out from this world, so after hearing all of these.”
All of them looked at me as Twilight continued, “Do you still want to go ahead with it?”
I turned my head; she looked at me, hoping that I would say yes, “Yes I gladly will take it.”
Applejack grabbed Rainbow Dash, and the both of them grinned widely at me, “Well then! Just to let ya know, after you are transformed, we’ll be your big sis from then on!”
Laughing slightly, “I don’t mind! And I also love to have a big sister too as I don’t any sisters or brothers either...”
“Well, since you’re alright with it, do you want to commence it now?” Princess Luna said and we looked at her.
Something hit me at this point, pointing at Rainbow Dash as I spoke, “Wait, how did she even remember me, when you casted the memory spell on her in the first place?”
“Let me fill in the blanks for you...” Princess Celestia said, “We did cast the memory spell on Rainbow Dash, but the spell didn’t worked, we found out that there was that a magical barrier protected the memories against the spell as a spiritual bond formed between you and her from the result of her spending time with you, it’s now linked to the memory, if we remove the memory, the spiritual bond would be removed as well, hence taking part of her soul along and she would die in short, so we searched for an entire day but we found nothing, then soon enough...”
Smiling at Twilight, “Twilight came up with the idea of transforming you into a pony, and the 3 off us agreed sometime later on, now...” Looking at me she smiled, “Do you have any more questions before we proceed?”
I remembered and grabbed the photo album with my hand, and Rainbow Dash knew what it was, “Could we keep this photo album, this meant a lot to us...”
Rainbow Dash faced them, “Yeah! It’s has all the pictures we took during the time we spent together!”
“You could keep it, but there’s a condition to it,” Princess Celestia replied softly; pointing at everyone, “You cannot let any other pony see it and if it ever gets out of our hooves, I will have no choice but to destroy it.”
I thought hard, the photo album was only the most valuable thing to me, and once I went to Ponyville, everything else left would vanish, people who had memories about me would vanish, my house would also disappear, everything like as if I wasn’t in this world in the first place, I would also have a new beginning in life too...
“I have one last request to make, since I would become younger later on, and wouldn’t be Rainbow Dash father anymore, could you don’t restore my memory?”
I wanted to complete what I was saying, but...
“What are you crazy dad! You don’t want to remember me when you got transformed into a pony?!”
“No no no that not what I meant! Since I am going to be younger than all of you, and I won’t be in this world anymore, I think it would be nicer for me to actually have a new beginning in life and don’t remember where I was originally from...” Smiling at her as I continued, “And since I will become younger than you, it will change our relationship with each other too,” Ruffling her mane, “Instead of me being your dad, I will become your younger brother as I wouldn’t be old enough to be called your dad later on too.”
“Ah think your father is right Rainbow, he would become younger and also be in a new world, so ah guess it’s a good idea for him to actually have a new beginning too...”
She pointed at the photo album, “Okay, since you want to have a new beginning, why would you need that?”
“That’s not for me silly, it’s for you!”
She pointed at herself, “For me?”
I sighed softly, “My little Dashie, you still have the memories of you growing up with me since you was a filly right...?”
She just nodded confusedly at me and that was enough for me to know, “This photo album will be a perfect memento together with your memories for many years to come, and since it has all the pictures we took together during our time we spent together here...”
She should not forget that I was her dad, and I pointed at her, “And it will also remind you that you once had a loving father too which is me, who will become your little brother later on instead.”
Her eyes widen, “Oh yeah, I never thought about it that way, sure I will keep it, it will also become my most priced procession too...”
“That’s all, I am ready...”
Princess Celestia smiled, “Very well then, now, hold on tight to your photo album, and everything else would be destroyed.”
Three of their horns glowed together.
This was it...
I will become a pony from then onwards and have a new beginning in life too...
A bright light soon appeared...
