Chapter 12: The Final Day: Part Three
Previous ChapterThe funeral took place outside near a newly made statue stand. On the statue stand it said.
In memory of
Applejack
Pinkamena Diane Pie
Rarity
Let them live on in the hearts of their friends and family
No one knew what would be put there as a statue. As Rainbow, Twilight, and Fluttershy sat down the priest of the Canterlot church began the cermenoy.
"Thank you all for coming. I'm sure some of you know why you're here. To mourn the death of Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkamena Diane Pie." As he spoke his weird moustache waved. He wore a robe and was a unicorn past his prime. "Now if we would like to have some words from the family and friends who volunteered to speak to those who didn't know about their dead family member." The first to go up was a red stallion. His blonde mane was pulled back. He had obviously used hair gel. Big Mac trotted up to the podium and began to speak.
"Applejack was always a good sister. She was hard working and kind," Big mac started," ah wish ah would've been there to tell her ah'll miss her. Ah want to thank Twilight for defeating the monster who ended her life." He looked out at the crowd and stepped down. He walked back to his seat. The next to approach was a lime green mare. She was old and slow. Her mane was in a bun. It was Granny Smith. She trotted up to the podium.
"Applejack was a great and wonderful granddaughter. She was so strong and athletic. She didn't deserve the death she got. Ah wish ah could've gone and saved her. But all ah can do is hope she is safer in the afterlife." Granny Smith got off the podium and trotted back to her seat. Now it was Rainbow's turn to say something about Applejack. She would be saying something about all three f them. She trotted up to the podium.
"Applejack was an awesome friend," Rainbow started," she was honest and kind. It is a pain to see her go. I know what it was like down there. She just like Rarity and Pinkie went insane in the end. She provided me with hope and I stuck with that hope. Thank you." She walked off the podium and back to her seat. The first coffin was lowered into its hole. They all knew what was inside, it is what's left of Applejack's body. As the coffin lowered Rainbow thought she saw Appljack near a tree at the edge of the cemetery. Then the coffin passed over and she was gone. Next was Pinkie's funeral. Mr. And Mrs. Cake weren't anywhere to be seen. None of the Pie family was there either. Rainbow was the only one to walk up to that podium. She looked across the rows of ponies watching and began. "Pinkie was an amazing friend," Rainbow said," she would always try to make you laugh and giggle. To bad her life came to an abrupt stop. I wish she had made it. To see this day of freedom." Rainbow finished and stepped down. With everyone done talking they lowered the coffin. Rainbow thought she heard Pinkie laugh and giggle. But the noise died as fast as it came. She thought she had seen Applejack and now she thought she had heard Pinkie. As the coffin was dropped and buried they continued the ceremony. Rarity's parents were the first to speak. Rarity's mother's voice was filled with heavy breathing. Rarity's father's voice was the same. They're speech was long and tough. With the occasional break to crying or pat the other on the back. Rarity's parents sat down and Sweetiebelle went up to the podium. Her squeaky voice wasn't as loud.
"Rarity was my only sister," Sweetiebelle began," she was my only sister and my favorite sister. I had hoped for her to be there for when I got my cutie mark. Sadly she won't be." She stopped to gather herself again. She was losing to emotions on a podium. "I wish I could have said goodbye before she died." Sweetiebelle ended her speech and went and sat down. Rainbow went up once again trembling.
"Rarity was a good friend of mine. She was always the drama queen of the group. But if she needed to she would get her hooves dirty. She had given us dresses for free before that day. I lost mine but I know some of us have their dress safe. Please don't lose them like we lost her." Rainbow once again sat back down. She expected to hear something Rarity had said. But instead nothing. She didn't see a Rarity or hear Rarity. The coffins were buried completely and the priest said final words to them all.
"We once again than you for coming. We hope that you get support with any bad feelings you may have felt. Please leave when you are ready." The priest trotted off. Everyone started to leave and the mingling died. Rainbow sat there thinking about why she had heard Pinkie and see Applejack. The cemetery was quiet. Rainbow trotted over to the burial place. She set down an apple seed. Right in the middle of the three. Then she trotted off. For the next few years this seed would become a tree. This tree will be the place Rainbow will come for comfort and when she feels terrible. This tree will be like those three to her.
"Alright so next stop Scootaloo's," the Doctor asked.
"Yeah just to drop off a letter," she said pulling a letter out of her packed stuff.
"Then on to have adventures," the Doctor pulled a lever and once again the TARDIS faded out of this area and reappeared in another. She stepped out of the TARDIS. They were outside a raggedy house. There was two mail boxes one for the raggedy house and another for the house next door. She flipped open the one on the left and put the letter inside. She trotted back to the TARDIS. They wouldn't be coming back for a long time.
Scootaloo opened the mail box. She took out the letter that was said to be for her. When she read the name she gasped. It was to her from Rainbow Dash. She opened it and started reading the letter.
To Scootaloo,
Hey Scootaloo, if you are reading this then I didn't get to see you before I left. I'm gone Scootaloo sorry. Wish I could have said this to you in person. Please tell Twilight to watch my house while i'm gone. And thank you Scootaloo for all those times we had fun. Have fun growing up and stay cool.
From Rainbow Dash
Scootaloo finished the letter and sat down. Behind the letter there was a feather. Rainbow's feather. Rainbow didn't want Scootaloo to forget about her. But Rainbow had left. Where did she go? When did she leave? Will she be back? So many questions rolled through her head. She eventually got up and trotted of. She had to make sure Twilight knew about this.
She had fallen asleep in the TARDIS. She would obviously have been tired from all the stress and clean up. The Doctor dimmed the lights so she could sleep. He sat at a table thinking about that pony again. His beard had been short he had a moustache and his hair was a casual length. The stallion had been blonde or more of a white. It didn't matter that stallion had looked familiar. He just couldn't remember. Time passed and he got up and walked outside. It was a nice cool night on the planet they were on. He had landed on a hill. It over looked a town with children and parents walking around town. He sat down and looked at the town. He thought it was so peaceful. The children without a care in the world. The parents were just as oblivious. They would soon find out the truth below their town.
Rainbow dreamed a wonderful dream. A dream that she was back in Equestria with the others. They were having so much fun like from back in the day. She had never felt so happy in a dream ever. She just wished it were true. She wished they hadn't died. That they had lived through the pain. But sadly that wasn't the truth. They were dead and they weren't coming back. No matter how bad she wanted to see them again. Time was about to change for Rainbow. She'd be gone longer than she thought and the only thing anyone had to remember her by was a feather she gave to Scootaloo.
