"Dashie, please down go!" I begged.

"No, how many times do we have to go over this?" Dashie asked. "I'm going, this is my dream!"

"But we've already lost Twilight, I don't wanna lose you!" I cried.

"Too bad!" Dashie yelled. "This is my life's work! I can't stop here, it took me so long to her to this place!"

"Rainbow, Darling, don't be harsh." Rarity said.

"Yeah, tone down a bit." Applejack said. I looked back at Dashie, with tears in my eyes.

"Please Dashie..." I mumbled.

"Uh, don't cry." She groaned.

"But Dashie... I don't want to lose you! We don't want to lose you..." I sobbed.

"Do you know how long it took for me to get here?" Dashie asked.

"Yes, but-" I started.

"Exactly!" She shot. "I'm going and there's nothing you can do about it!!!"

I didn't say anything, but I burst into tears.

"Oh, Pinkie, don't cry." Fluttershy said. "Rainbow, you didn't have to be so harsh."

"Harsh?! That wasn't harsh. If I was going to be harsh, I would've already been gone!" Dashie snorted. "This would be a little bit easier if Pinkie wasn't being such a cry baby!" I sniffled and looked at her.

"Hey! You don't have to be a JERK!" I yelled. "Just because you're a Wonderbolt, it doesn't mean you can act above all of us!"

Dashie only glared at me.

"You hurt me! A lot!" I walked up to her until I was nose to nose with her and bared my teeth. "Not to loyal now, huh?" I muttered.

I backed up and growled.

"Hey! If you're going to call me names, I'll leave right now!" Dashie said. She turned around. "Goodby everypony. Oh, and Pinkie, I never want to see you again."

With that, she darted into the sky.

I lost all feeling in my legs as I crumbled to the ground.

My mane deflated to almost straight as my bright colours turned bland and sad.

I laid my head between my outstretched forelegs and cried. I felt a soft hoof on my back.

"Shh, it's okay Pinkie." Fluttershy said. "I'm sure she didn't mean it." I looked up.

"It's different." I said.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.

"Nothing." I said. I limply stood up and started walking home.

"Hey Pinkie, You're not as annoying as I thought you would be. Wanna hang out?"

"I'd rather hand out with you."

"Pinkie! Are you alright?"

"Good one Pinkie!"

"Pinkie, you are so random!"

"You're Ponyville's permanent party pony!"

"No one could replace you."

All the thoughts of the great times we had only made me cry more.

I looked up in the sky and saw a faint rainbow trail.

"What have I done?"

"WAH!!" I shot out of my train seat.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I wiped away the tears that had (magically) appeared when I was sleeping.

Then a terrible thought hit me.

What if Dashie didn't want to see me?

The fight was pretty rough, and she said she never wanted to see me again.

I took another deep breath. I couldn't think that way. That was two years ago.

I stood up and walked into the snack car.

I bought a coffee and a donut from Donut Joe.

"Hey Joe, what's up?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm just earning enough money to but a new shop, what 'bout you?" He asked.

"I'm trying to get my friendship back together with the other girls." I said.

"It's hard to see you six apart from each other." Joe said.

"Well, work and stuff got in the way." I replied.

"I see." He said. "Well, good luck."

"Thanks!" I smiled and walked back to my train car.

I ate my snack and despite the coffee, I drifted off to sleep.

"That was a scary story." I said as I shivered and cuddled up to Dashie's side. She patted my head.

"Giggle at the ghosties though, right?" She asked.

"Mhm." I responded.

Take the stupid hint! I yelled in my head.

"Who wants nachos?!" Spike said cheerfully as he walked into the room.

All six of our hooves shot up as we shouted,

"ME!"

Right after he set the plates down in front of us, he burped as green fire flared out of his mouth, and a scroll materialized.

Twilight's horn glowed as she levitated the paper over to her. She unrolled it and cleared her throat.

"My Dearest Twilight Sparkle, I am terribly sorry to inconvenience you, but we've had a major increase on orders, and you are required to move back to Canterlot in two days time. We have no preference on how long you will have to live here. From, Princess Celestia." All of our eyes widened in terror.

Twilight slowly lowered the paper to the floor.

"Move?" She quietly asked.

"I don't want you to go!" I cried.

"I don't want to go either." Twilight said. She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry girls, but I have to."

"Oh no." Fluttershy said. I shot out from under Dashie's wing and wrapped my arms around her.

"Don't go!!!" I cried.

"Pinkie, I'm sorry, but I have to." Twilight said. "It's Celestia's orders."

"But you're a princess too. Can't you defy that order?" Dashie asked as she closed her open wing.

"Rainbow, this is the princess of Equestria, I'm just... Well, a princess." She said. "I can't do much."

We all looked down.

"I'm sorry girls." She said. "Let's make the best of this slumber party before I go!" She said, trying to lighten the mood.

The rest of the night was pretty downbeat. All of us were down about Twilight leaving.

~~~~~~~~~~

I softly hugged Twilight.

"I can't believe you're leaving..." I muttered. She tried to smile.

"Hey, it's not like I'm gone forever," she said. "It's an order increase. It won't last forever."

I jerked up. I looked around and saw the familiar train car. I leaned back and covered my eyes with my hooves.

I guess it is lasting forever.... that or she forgot us. I thought.

Why was I having these dreams now, and not before when I was alone?

I looked out the window. We were at the gates. I eyed Canterlot Castle, wondering what Twilight was doing right now.

The train lurched to a stop. I got on my hooves and started walking towards the doorway.

I inhaled deeply once I got outside. I started following the advertisements for Rarity's visit, hoping that all of this would be easy.

Author's Note

Hey everypony, sorry this chapter took longer to come out, I've just been so exhausted the past few days and I've been unable to keep up with everything.

Hopefully the next chapter comes out a little bit sooner, I'm not one to forget about my stories (most of the time)!
