Airtight

AJ was running. She knew where she was running. She was running to Flight Canyon. The Canyon was the deepest and longest to ever exist. It was there she would either fly or die. She tilted her hat slightly down as she stared down into the fault, rocks crumbling from her weight but not giving way. A strong wind swooped up and almost blew off the beloved hat. "Ah think ah should say some goodbye er somethin. Well, goodbye. I'll be free either way." She was hardly crying, her pride unable to shatter and turn her around. She would miss everypony but Rd. She was not happy about this decision, but there was no other way to relieve her of the past she held back. "Ah still can't believe this was how it would work out.... Rd, fuck y'all! I'll be back for y'all if ah die! Goodbye."

Rainbow confidently guided the 4 ponies behind her to Flight Canyon. "I'm positive Retarded Apple went this way!" Twilight levitated Rainbow into a thorn bush. "Serves you right." The purple unicorn yelled as they raced to the rocky fault and the orange figure looking down into the crevice. "Please, AJ! Don't jump! Listen to us!"

The orange mare heard them and turned. "No... Ah-ah can't. Ah ain't. Don't y'all see? There is more to this than just rainbow dash, y'know. Mah past... It sticks to me like honey. Ah need to rid mah self of that. Ah can't do it, ah can't!" She she'd tears like crazy. Her soft orange coat was stained dark with her tears..... She obviously felt her freedom depended on this.

No pony could move. Everybody saw what she meant. A past full of agony nobody could ever get rid of. Memories stuck to their minds.

"Ahm sorry, but there is no other choice...."

The ponies watched, open mouthed and wailing for AJ to not jump, the orange country mare leap off the surface and into the rocky crevice below.
