Chapter 1: Alone once again

I stood there, alone once more in my cold empty house. For the past 15 years, everything up to this moment, was one of my best years I ever experienced, even if they were bad, but they were ways that I have connected and bonded with. Those 15 years were over now, and my life was back to the way it was, but now….I was far more depressed and lonely than I ever was.

My daughter….my little Dashie….was gone.

Her friends, and her mentor, princess Celestia, came not to long ago, and took her back home, to Equestria….her real home….No, Dashies home was here, with me. But...deep down inside of me, I know this was the right choice, because Equestria is her real home...but it was so hard to accept it all. I know this time would come for me, and knew she would have to return back to the world she came from….but it was so painful. Every ounce of my happiness, joy, and love that I created with the cyan pegasus was torn from me…torn from my heart.

It was like something ripped my chest open and shredded my heart with a hot knife. I can still remember her filly days, the day she first wrote on her own, the time she discovered her origin, the fight, and how we reconnected, and our bond growing stronger, her smiles, her laughs, and….her love to me…as my daughter....My Little Dashie.

My overwhelming emotions of pain, sadness and loneliness have caught up to me at last, as if I was met with the collision of a wave on the ocean beaches. My legs wobbled, crippled like a broken down pillar, I collapsed to my knees. My body felt heavy, as of someone put 100 LBS on my shoulders. My eyes were stinging, as crystal clear tears were developing fast. I shut them tightly as they flowed down my cheeks.

My teeth gritting tightly, as they were like grinders grinding meat. My breathing growing heavier. My cold arms wrapping around my heavy dead chest. Every memory of my daughter flowing through my mind. My ice cold heart aching and swelling, desperate for my daughters love again. I needed Dashie, I need her hugs, her smiles, and laughs. I wish and begged to hold her one last time.

All of my lonely years were bashing down on my heart like a sludge hammer. The pain I have endured before I met Dashie clinging to me, never tempting to let go of my heart, as if salt was rubbing against my aching wound. It was all too much for me to handle. My head sharply swung up to my ceiling, as my mouth opened wide, my throat opening up as a powerful roar of agony ripped through and out my body. My lungs burning and not letting up as I continued to scream and yell for my daughter.

I never stopped screaming. I never let up and never stopped. I didn’t know how much time went by through my roars of agony and pain, but none of that mattered. What felt like for eternity, my cries and screams finally stopped. My lungs were now aching and desperate for the cool crisp air around me. Able to breath and take in some air, I was calming down, but I can never be calm anymore. Nothing will ever calm me down now.

“I love you daddy…”

I can still here her. My little Dashie. Her beautiful voice, her cute and amazing tomboyish accent, those glittering rosy eyes. I chocked on my breath, my fists tightening around, my nails digging deep into my palms, aching and nearly piercing the skin to draw blood. New fresh batches of tears flowing down my tear stained cheeks.

I even felt Dashies hooves around my torso, her warm head against my back in a loving embrace. That ounce of warmth died out in a millisecond. It was the final bit of love that I can ever feel from my daughter. She was gone, and there was nothing I can do about it.

I laid on the cold wooden hard ground, my arm as a pillow for my sore head. my hand reaching up and clutching a nearby thin blanket, pulling it over my upper body. I curled into a ball, burying my face deep in the sheets. I can still smell her scent on that blanket. It was welcoming scent, easing the burning in my lungs. But, the scent only driven my brain crazy, reliving my times with my daughter. I closed my eyes while my tears flowed, never tempting to stop. soft cries and sobs escaped my burning throat.

All of this agony was hitting me harder than a runaway fake train. I didn’t know how much longer I’m going to last under this amount of despair, loneliness, pain, and sadness. All I wanted was Dashie again. I would even trade my soul to the demon of hell to see her again, to be my her side, until the day of death.

…Death….I didn’t know why…but it sounded like a beautiful word. All of this desperation for warmth, comfort and love from my little Dashie was bringing me to a new level of evil…it felt like my body was telling me to give up….to end my pain….to kill myself. I never knew…that the word death…would sound so beautiful in my mind.

My life….was almost reaching full circle.

Without my daughter with me…there was nothing left in my life….nothing. If this pain doesn’t leave me soon…I will have to take desperate measures to end it, to be free from this pain. It dawned to me now. I was now on the path that leads to the most blissful, but evil path any human would take.

The path….of being suicidal.

Chapter 2: Memories can never be erased

Chapter 2: Memories can never be erased

Equestria, a beautiful land with peace and harmony. Ponies thrived and live in friendship and peace. In a small valley in the sky, a pink hot air balloon was floating, with five young ponies and an elder white alicorn, settling a cyan pegasus on her bed.

The main six and Celestia were successful on bringing Rainbow Dash home, no longer in the human world. It was a little painful to have to bring her back, and away from the human that raised her when she became a filly, but they had to get over it. It was done, and Rainbow was back home, where she belonged.

“So what do we do now, princess?” Twilight Sparkle, Celestia’s prized student asked the majestic white alicorn.

“With rainbow dash home, life in ponyville will be back as it should be…but the memories of that man that raised her will always be fresh in her mind. It is possible those memories of him still remain in her mind.” Celestia explained.

“Then how do we fix this problem?” Applejack, the element of Honesty, and an earth pony questioned the ruler.

“….we will have to erase her memories of her years with him.” Celestia answered her.

The ponies grew surprised by her statement. They knew this won’t be easy, but it was the right thing to do. If the memories of the human that raised her as a daughter continue to exist, it will cause a situation for her, them and all of equestria. they knew this must be done.

“Twilight, you must act now. Use the memory spell and cast it over her. Erase the memories of her and that human and replace them with the memories of us.” Celestia instructed to her prized student.

Twilight gave a small gulp, but nodded and approached the sleeping pegasus. Her breathing slow and peaceful. her face showing signs of bliss. A frown formed on the unicorns lips. It was tough, but it had to be done. Her horn lit in a calm lavender aura, as it slowly descended down to the six mane colored pony.

“I’m sorry, Rainbow Dash.” The small whisper of her talented friend, before her horn made contact with her head. Rainbow’s memories of her father, the times she grew up with him….all being erased, and replaced with the memories of her friends and adventures in equestria.

With the spell successful, Twilight’s horn stopped glowing and stepped back. It was finally done. Rainbow’s memories with her father…were erased for good. A small shaky breath escapes Twilight's lips, turning to her mentor.

“…It is done, Celestia.”

“Good. Now, it would be best for all of us to return home as well. It was a long journey for us to find Rainbow, we should rest.” The solar princess suggested.

Nodding in agreement, the main six entered the balloon and lowered to the ground, before they all took different paths back to their proper homes.

(The next morning)

Celestia’s sun rose up in the sky with Luna’s moon descending into the darkness. the birds chirped in the crisp morning air, passing by a familiar cloud home. Cyan eyelids twitching and fluttering open slowly. Rosy red eyes glittering in the warm sun streaks hitting her face. A small moan escaping her lips, before hoisting up from her bed, a yawn released while hooves stretching, joints popping and wings shuddering in the sun's warmth.

Rainbow was awake. The memory spell did its job, she had no trace of memory of her father, only her memories of her friends and times in ponyville. getting up from her bed, she washed her face off to get the last of the sleepiness out. Rainbow was in a good mood, something she didn’t expect to feel…but she just felt happy for some reason.

“RAINBOW DASH!!” A familiar cheerful voice called to her. A smile grazing her lips, trotting down her house and looking down at her window. Her eyes locked to see her best friends.

“Hey girls! Be right down!” Rainbow called happily, jumping from her window and landing safely with her wings.

“How are you feeling today, rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked her loyal friend.

“I feel awesome! never felt like this in a long time!” Rainbow replied.

The five sighed in their mind, happy the memory spell worked, no trace of her father left in her brain.

“We’re happy ta hear that, sugarcube.” Applejack smiled, one hoof hugging her friend.

“So what’s the plan for today?” Rainbow asked her friends. “I have work in a few hours, so I got time to kill.”

“We’re going to have breakfast at sugarcube corner!” Pinkie chirped happily.

“Awesome! I’m starving.” Rainbow agreed to the idea. The ponies left to the building as they talked and chatted happily. Upon reaching sugarcube corner, they ordered their breakfast, and chowed down. Rainbow with haycakes and hash browns with ketchup on the side. It was unusual, but for a reason, this was something she really enjoyed.

“Here, Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie slid a strawberry milkshake with whipped cream and a cherry on top to her. “I made this milkshake especially for you!”

“Sweet! Thanks, Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow happily sipped her milkshake, as flavors exploded in her tastebuds.

“You’re welcome Dashie!” Pinkie chirped.

As that word escaped her mouth, everything around in Rainbow was at a halt. eyes frozen, as if she remembered something about that exact word.

“W…what did you say, Pinkie?” Rainbow asked in a slight surprised voice.

“I said you’re welcome, Dashie.” Pinkie smiled happily.

A massive throb hit her head when that word was heard again. A grunt escaping her throat, clinging her hooves to her head. The pain was somewhat intense, but through it, she heard a voice…a male voice.

“I love you, my little Dashie…”

“Rainbow, are you alright?” Twilight’s voice snapped her back to reality, seeing her five friends with small concerned faces.

“Uh…I’m ok, just a head throb is all.” Rainbow replied, sipping her milkshake again.

“Ya sure? Ya looked tensed fer the moment?” Applejack asked her friend.

“I told you, I’m fine. Just a small headache is all.” Rainbow replied once more and downed her milkshake and breakfast.

The girls looked at one another, as if something was wrong with her. She looked tensed up about something, but it must be one of the side effects to the memory spell, so they let it be.

***

After breakfast, Rainbow left to cloudsdale to start work. Her job was pretty simple. Moving clouds, working with the rainbow liquid, and so forth. It was a pain to her, but it makes time go by faster.

The young pegasus was working with moving clouds, the soft texture against her hooves, moving them in the perfect place. Hours flew by to her, as her shift was almost over.

Flying back to cloudsdale for her next assignment, she landed on the city streets, and-

KRAKA-BOOOM!!!

“YIPE!” A thundercloud struck from behind her, catching her off guard and jumped high, but bashed her head against the building nearby. She fell back on the cloud, moaning in pain as she held her throbbing head. She heard three stallion laughter. Looking up to see her flight school bullies.

“hahahaha! Nice one hoops!” The brown stallion laughed.

A growl escapes her throat, slowly rising up, while rubbing her head. “What do you want, Dumbbell?”

“Aw what wrong, little wittle dashie get hurt?” Dumbbell mocked as his friends laughed.

Something triggered in Rainbow. Hearing him say that word…dashie, ticked her off in fury. her body shaking and wings starting to flare slightly. The stallions picked this up and continued to tease her.

“Oh? Did I struck a nerve…Dashie?” Dumbbell teased with a mock in his sickening tone.

Fury…anger…pain…and sadness were somehow flowing in her mind and body. It didn’t make sense to her why she was getting all worked up and furious to why these three were mocking her with that nickname. It went further when he was walking around her in circles, calling her ‘Dashie, Dashie, Dashie’ over and over and over. His friends joined the mockery as well, venting her up in waves of sadness and fury.

“Dude, she’s crying!” One of Dumbells friends called out.

he was right, tears were flowing down her cheeks. It shocked rainbow dash. Why was she crying? She’s too awesome for something like that!

“Pttt Hahahahahaha!! Oh this too rich!” Dumbbell and his friends burst into laughter at the sight of the tears.

Embarrassment, pain and humiliation. It was so confusing to why Rainbow was in this state of emotions. It didn’t make sense to her at all. her wings flared up and flew faster than she ever had. She made it to the clock out station, and punched out early. She didn’t care if she was off by a few minutes, she needed time alone.

Flying quickly out of cloudsdale, she flew to a small clearing at the edge of the everfree forest. A tree with little branches on them. Floating down, rainbow sat against the tree, trying to calm down. She wiped her tears away, but was upset to herself. Why did she cry? She would never open cry like that before, neither even free it from her stern and cool style. Her mind was processing, trying to find the answers she needed.

drip

A small drop of water dropped on her muzzle before more came down on her and the tree. looking up was a small storm cloud, which was moved by the clutzy mare, Derpy. Normally, Rainbow Dash would call to her to move the cloud away, but her mind was racing. Something about this was familiar to her. Her head throbbed again, and it was more stronger than the last one. Another grunt escapes her throat, clutching her head to make the pain stop. Then, the voice from before was heard again, but this time, she also heard her own voice.

“Dad. Do... do you still love me?”

“Of course, Dashie. I've always loved you. I still love you, no matter what. Not even a small fight such as ours could ever change that.”

She can feel and hear it all. It was agony, and painful. Something about these voices, these events were kicking something in her. She was lost, afraid and need of some comfort. Her friends couldn’t help. No, she needed the comfort of somepony else…but who?

***

The day went by a little slower after Rainbow got off of work and was alone from that time. She was at home, resting upon her soft cloud bed. Her mind was racing, desperate to find answers. She didn’t understand why this was occurring…but it was scaring her.

“What is wrong with me…?” The question was a small whisper in her voice. My little Dashie, Dad, and the emotions were filling her with a pain she never felt before, as if somepony was stabbing her with a hot knife in her heart.

Rolling over on her bed, she can’t ignore these powerful feeling of emotions. She tried to ignore them, but it was impossible.

“Why is this happening to me…?” Another question running her lips. She was in dire depression. She wanted it all to stop, but didn’t know how. Looking up at her wall, was her wonderbolt poster, her dream of being one of them. there was something that clicked her mind, as if she can hear the roars of cheering, some type of vehicles zooming around the track of a giant stadium.

“…Indy….500.” Those words struck her. She didn’t know why she said that, neither knew what the Indy 500 was…but it sounded so familiar to her.

More voices running in her mind, head throbbing more harder than ever before. Agony of pain rushing in her brain, as if somepony was bashing her head with a mallet. Clutching her head tightly while yelling in pain, the intensity of the throbs were growing stronger and stronger.

“MAKE IT STOP!!!!” Rainbow screamed at the top of her lungs, desperate for the pain to end. By a miracle, something snapped in her brain, and the intense throbbing finally eased. However….she was seeing visions.

A creature on two legs with arms and hands with short, but spiky brown coffee hair was in front of her, and his voice sound the exact same one she’s been hearing all day.

"Dashie, my little Dashie. I love you with all my heart. You have done wonders to open me up from the man I once was. You... you have brought me so much joy in my life that I can't possibly ever thank you for.”

Rainbow’s eyes were brimming with tears by this creature. The visions and memories of this creature continued to flow through her mind like a calm stream. Seeing him for the first time in a cardboard box, holding her close in his chest.

"These fifteen years we have had together, talking, playing, flying; all those have been so special to me. I just want you to know, that I will forever love you. It doesn't matter if we aren't biologically related, or of different worlds. I don't care what you may ever think of me, or if you ever even remember me, but right now, you being my Dashie, I want you, to know that fact. If there is ever a problem that happens, and you need me, don't hesitate to find a way to get me, okay?”

Her body shaking, seeing this creature….this man, giving her, her first bath, feeding her, taking care of her, and some kind of argument they had after finding out she was part of a TV show. She saw herself growing up into a strong mare, gaining her cutie mark, and even doing her first Sonic rainboom, all for him.

The memories flowed until she saw herself embracing this man tightly, tears flowing from their faces.

"It's your actual home, Dashie. You don't belong here. You need to go back to where you belong.”

"I belong here, with you!”

A sob escapes the pegasus’s throat when she heard those words from her vision self. It was deep connection with her and that man, watching them embrace and cry their eyes out, as she knew…her vision self was going to leave this man…the man that raised her…who took care of her.

"No, you don't. You are limited here, only able to fly around the house. You have no friends, or other ponies to relate to. I was only taking care of you until this time would come, but I never thought it would be this painful.”

The tension and pain of seeing these two talking together made Rainbow collapse to her belly, her heart tightening and almost exploding by the sheer force of sadness exploding in her heart. The final words to these two would soon change her life…

The life…she once forgot.

"I love you daddy…"

"And I love you too, my little Dashie.”

The vision ended, Rainbow on her bed, in her home. Her body shaking uncontrollably, her glittering rosy eyes flowing crystal tears. She remembered now…all of it. The memories the main six and Celestia believed that were erased…have returned.

As one thing they need to understand, no matter what you try, as long as the bond of father and daughter is pure and strong…

Memories can never be erased.

“Daddy….”

Chapter 3: The lives they now live

Chapter 3: The lives they now live

My eyes slowly opened, having to finally wake up from my painful slumber. I was sore all over. The cramps, my throat, my lungs, and my heart. It’s been at 24 hours since my daughter left. Depression still flowing through my body. I rose up from the cold hard ground, my joints popping and relieving themselves from the position I was in while i slept.

I looked at the clock; 8:49am. I start work at 9. I didn’t want to go to work, but…what other choice do I have? At least it will be what will drive me to ending my days faster. I took a cold, cold shower, not bothering if it was cold at all, for every part of my feeling in me, died out. I got into my clothing and locked the house up, jumping into my car and drove off to start my new depressing life.

***

Rainbow did not get any sleep the night she regained her memories of her father. The depression grew very intense when she got them back. She missed him…dearly. Her body and heart aching, desperate to be by her fathers side again. Her mind dwelling and remembering when her friends came to bring her home. It pained her.

Then a thought came to her. How did she not remember her father? Was there something they did to her? Maybe. She knows her friends would never hurt her, but how could she not remember the man she loved and was cared for? Well, her question was answered when she heard her friends and Celestia.

“….we will have to erase her memories of her years with him, and fill her mind with the memories in equestria. Twilight, you must act now. Use the memory spell and cast it over her. Erase the memories of her and that human and with the memories of us.”

“I’m sorry, Rainbow Dash…”

The voices faded. She knew the truth now. They were the reason her memories of her daddy were once gone. It angered her. Her once beautiful rosy eyes were bloodshot red, filled with the emotions of anger, betrayal and sadness. She was at the brink of blowing.

***

Twilight was in her library home, organizing her books. She was a tad bit worried about rainbow Dash ever since yesterday, but believed it was the effects of the memory spell giving her pain problems, so it wasn’t a bother to her. Little did she know, using that spell to erase the memories of the human that took care of Rainbow will begin to bite her back hard in the flank.

BANG BANG BANG!!

A loud banging on her door caught her by surprise, making her drop her books being held by her magic. Growing curious, she approached the door and opened it, and saw her loyal friend.

“Rainbow? What brings you here so early?” Twilight was confused and happy to see her friend again, but it was about to change. the pegasus shoved Twilight into the library and slammed the door shut. her emotionless face slowly breaking into a fit of anger.

“R…Rainbow, what’s wrong?” Twilight was growing nervous to her sudden change in attitude.

“Why…?” Was what the lips of the multicolored pegasus.

“W…why what?” Twilight questioned her.

“Why did you do it?” Rainbow questioned in a calm but angered tone, sending a shiver down twilight’s back.

“Rainbow…I don’t understa-ACK!” Off guard and slammed against the wall, Rainbow put her into a chocking hold. her eyes burning with rage as tears swelled into them.

“Do NOT play me as a joke twilight Sparkle! Why did you and Celestia try to erase the memories of my DAD!?” Rainbow yelled in anger in her face.

The lavender unicorn’s eyes broke wide in shock, with her coat slowly paling. The memory spell didn’t work. She was able to regain her lost memories of her father, and yet she still has her memories of everything in Equestria.

“R-rainbow…w-we didn’t mean to hurt you…w-we were only doing what was the right thing for us and you.” twilight stuttered in fear of her friends fury.

That infuriated Rainbow dash. they tried to erase her memories of her father for Celestia sake, and they thought that would be helpful!? To hell with that!

“Hurt me!? You made this situation worse for me! If you never tried to erase my daddy from my mind, I wouldn’t be this depressed right now!” Rainbow screamed angrily in her face. “You all nearly ruined everything for me! Because of all of you, I can’t see my dad anymore! Don’t you know he’s been through so much depression and loneliness even before he met me!? I was the only thing that kept him going, and yet you all TORE me away from him!” The cyan pegasus screamed with a sob.

Purple eyes swelling with tears, hearing to how rainbow’s father was going through major depression without her daughter. It pained her to see her loyal friend like this.

“Please Rainbow…we never-“ Twilight tried to speak, but…

SLAP!

A slap echoed in the library. A red mark on twilights cheek. Her eyes widened in shock to what even occurred from her loyal pegasus friend. Rainbow dash slapped her.

“R….Rainbow?” Twilight’s voice sounded broken, afraid and if she was stabbed by a hot knife.

“You and everypony stay away from me! If you all try anything to me again, i will HURT you all!” Rainbow warned loudly, bashing Twi against the book shelved wall and blasted out of the library at quick speeds.

The young lavender unicorn laid on the ground, horribly depressed and ashamed to her actions against rainbow Dash. her heart was shred into pieces when she said those awful words. It pained her dearly. Her head bowed into her hooves, softly crying her eyes out at the feeling of utter betrayal against her former cyan friend.

“I’m sorry…I’m so sorry Rainbow dash…” Twilight gave small whimpers and sobs, not bothering to clean up her mess anymore, only to drown herself in shame and pain.

***

Her door slammed shut, throwing herself on her bed, bawling her eyes out. Rainbow Dash was in so much putter pain right now. The feeling of her father gone, the betrayal of her friends and Celestia, and the agony of her heart drowning in sadness. She missed him dearly. She ached for his hugs, his smiles, his love. She can’t keep going like this. She needs her father.

Her eyes drooping slowly, as her body was aching for sleep. Her eyes slowly closed up, as her mind fell into a state of sleep.

(Rainbow’s dream)

Her eyes opened up, as she took in the familiar sight of her father’s home. She can smell the same aroma of his place, filling her heart with joy and happiness. She truly missed his smell, the sight of his home.

BOOM!!

She jumped a bit by the sound of thunder outside. Outside, it was nightfall, with rain pouring and thunder cracking in the dark skies. The door near her creaked open a bit. rainbow saw her filly self with a terrified look in her face. She trotted slowly to a bed, until lightning cracked again, as the little filly jumped and gave a small scream of fright, running under a desk and started crying.

Rainbow remembered this memory. this was when she was first afraid of lightning when she was a filly. she can remember the sounds of her crying, desperate for her daddy’s comfort and protection. She heard a groan from the bed and saw her father rising up and rubbing his tired eyes. Thunder blasted near the house as the cries of Rainbow’s filly self growing louder. Hearing them louder, her father quickly got up from his bed and approached Dash under the desk. Seeing her daddy, she waved her hooves to him. he quickly and gently picked her up in his arms, while the little filly buried her face in his chest.

“Shhh, it’s ok my little dashie. It’s just thunder. It won’t hurt us.” he cooed ever so gently, rocking her back and forth in his arms. The filly Rainbow dash sniffed and cried softly in his chest, not wanting to let go of him. Her father rubbed her back soothingly as the lightning continued to blast in the distance. it was further away now, but it can still be heard. He knew Dashie won’t sleep like this with the rain out and thunder breaking and dancing in the dark skies.

“Don’t worry, Dashie, daddy’s got you. Daddy won’t let you sleep alone tonight.” His voice was so gentle as Rainbow remembered it this night. He walked back to his bed and crawled under the sheets with his daughter. The filly Dashie nuzzled her father, snuggling closer to him for warmth and protection against the sounds of lightning. A small tired smile grazed his lips, as he bent down and kissed her head ever so gently.

“Goodnight, my little Dashie.” he cooed softly to her, before falling asleep with her wonderful daughter.

Rainbow watched the whole thing with a teary smile. She knew her father was a man that always made her feel safe and happy. Still, she aches to gain that lost comfort and warmth she needs.

The memory faded and was replaced with a new one. She remembered this one as well, but in a different perspective. She saw her father on his bed, his hands over his eyes while crying. This was the day rainbow discovered about her origin, how she was part of a TV show called ‘My little Pony: Friendship is magic.’ She ran out of the house that day, not wanting to see her father for a while.

She saw his tears, heard his sobs, his body shaking by the major regret of not telling her the truth long before.

“I’m such an idiot…I’m a horrible father…” He whimpered with his sobs.

Rainbow herself felt tears falling as well, feeling utter regret that she did this to him. It pained her so much that she put him in this much depression that day when she found out about the show.

“No! daddy you’re not a horrible father! I never meant to hurt you! Please, I’m sorry daddy!” rainbow cried out. She tried to reach him, but her body wasn’t moving. She tried again and again, but nothing was working to have her move closer to her dad. What she saw next, put her in a state of horror.

Her father slowly stood up, walking over to a dresser, and opening up one of the dressers. His hand grabbed something inside of it.

In his hand…was a 44 magnum, a gun. Biting his lip, the gun was pointed under his chin, as if….

Rainbow’s mind snapped. Her father was suicidal. How could be so stupid not to notice this!? She knew her dad was emotional, but to the point to killing himself!? This was too much for her to watch.

“NO! DADDY DON’T DO IT! PLEASE, I’M SORRY I HURT YOU! I NEVER MEANT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!” Rainbow cried and screamed, desperate to try to stop him from pulling the trigger. her body was now slowly moving up to try to reach him before it was too late to stop him.

His body shaking, tears falling like a waterfall, his breathing growing heavier and heavier as his finger was slowly pulling the trigger to pop. Rainbow screamed and crawled her way to her dad, but a force of unknown energy was pulling her back. She was going to see her father die in front of her eyes. He gritted his teeth, and held his breath as he stood firm and….

“I can't…” He whispered softly, pulling the gun away from his chin and back in the dresser. he backed away and sat on his bed again. So much emotions running, and yet he can’t do it.

“Daddy…” Rainbow was relieved he didn’t pull the trigger, but still so ashamed for her actions that day. She watched her father cry, holding himself in a lonely cold embracement of himself. Rainbow used every ounce of her strength, finally able to slowly walk towards him. A small pair of cyan eyes in a thin blue smoke behind her was watching everything, filled with horror, sadness and other painful emotions.

One hoof in front of the other. Rainbow was so close to her father now. She was so close to grab and embrace him. her hoof starting to reach for him, slowly inching to his cold and desperate body, desperate to hug and comfort her father. Her hoof was nearly a centimeter away from his arm. She can feel his pain, his cold lonely skin.

She was so close now. Ever so close. She was about to hug and touch her father, feel his warmth and comfort that he held deep in his heart that he holds for his daughter again, as she really needed it. One last push, her hoof finally-

(Reality)

“RAINBOW DASH!” The cyan pegasus jolted up from her dream. It was over at the blink of an eye. her hoof was so close to touching her father. So, so close. It pained her so much. The once warmth she was about to grasp…was now out of her reach.

“RAINBOW DASH!” The familiar voice from outside angered her, as she was responsible for breaking her away from her dream, the one chance she might have to hold her father again in her arms. grunting in irritation, she moved out of her bed and looked down her window, seeing the familiar pink crazy pony.

“Come on silly billy! You promised we could do some pranks today!” Pinkie chirped, before she pulled out a bunch of prank gags and toys.

Rainbow was not in the mood for any of that right now. She was grateful she didn’t Pinkie promised, but even still.

“I’m not in the mood, Pinkie, now leave me alone.” Rainbow called from her window.

Pinkie was caught by surprise by rainbow’s sudden change in attitude. She wasn’t like this from yesterday. She was all go lucky and happy, but now she was depressed, stressed and irritated. “Are you ok? You sound upset?”

“Fine.” Dash replied with an irritated tone and moved her head back into her room. She pulled her window down and locked it, blocking everything from outside. Climbing back into her bed, she dozed once more, in hope to dream of her father once more.

***

I was driving back from work. It was long, longer than I thought it would be. All day, I only thought about Dashie. Nothing else mattered to me at the point. I was distracted by the memories of my wonderful daughter. My boss was able to get me to focus, but it stopped again when my shift was nearly over. All I could do, was think my Dashie.

Pulling up to my driveway, I turned my car off and exited the vehicle, and entered my home. It was still quiet, as it always has been. Soon enough, my mind was going crazy. I heard the faint sounds of clopping in my house, before my heart stopped. I saw her…my daughter….my little Dashie in front of me at the corner of my hallway. Her bright smile swelled me with joy. I ran for her, she did too. My arms opened up to embrace her, and she jumped for me.

My eyes wet of tears of joy to see my daughter again, but when she made contact to me, she vanished. It was an illusion. my full desperation to see my Dashie again was now driving me insane. This was even more painful for me to endure then when my parents passed away. I collapsed to my knees again, holding myself in a lonely embracement. My eyes no longer flowing with the tears of joy a moment ago, now only flowing with pain and loneliness.

I heard the rain from outside falling. It only depressed me further. All of it, every emotion was eating my heart away. I sobbed and cried to my daughter, begging her to come back to me. I can’t keep living like this. This was all too much pain and despair to handle my body.

I rose up and walked into my room, locking myself in. I threw myself on my bed and bawled my eyes out. I can still see and hear rainbow dash in my mind, feeling her soft touches and warmth. My mind playing horrible tricks to me, as if it was mocking me that I can’t see Dashie anymore.

I didn’t know how long I was crying for. An hour, two, three. I had no idea. but through time passing, I was falling into more and more despair. I couldn’t take it anymore. i need to end this misery right now. I got up from my bed and walked to my dresser and opened it, pulling out a familiar weapon from before. The same weapon I had almost used on myself that day when dashie left me when she knew the truth about herself.

The gun was still loaded with its bullets. If you’re wondering why I have this weapon, it’s a hand me down in my family. My grandfather, his grandfather before him, this weapon was passed down in our family, and my father had this weapon stored away. I found this weapon one day, when i was in a stage of utter despair, in hopes I can find something to kill myself. that’s when I found this gun in a box. it still works, surprising to how old the weapon is. I was going to kill myself that day when Dashie left me…but couldn’t, she still needed me, even though she was upset with me when she knew the truth.

But it’s not like that anymore. Dashie is gone. nothing left for me to turn to and gain comfort, and my desperation for peace was at hand now. My brain has played its last game to me. I’m finished. I cocked the gun and put the pointer under my neck. I was afraid, but this was what I wanted. I couldn’t live anymore. Nothing can save me. I held my breath, closed my teary eyes, my finger starting to squeeze the trigger and puling it. My time in this world…was up. Mom…dad…i’ll be home….soon.

“NO!”

My eyes snapped open by the loud voice. I sharply turned and gasped when i saw a ghost of…my daughter.

“D….Dashie?” I can see her painful face, her teary eyes, her screams and wails of agony.

“DADDY DON’T DO IT! PLEASE, I’M SORRY I HURT YOU! I NEVER MEANT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!”

She….she must mean to what happened that day when she knew about the show. My hand trembling with the gun in hand. I couldn’t stand to see her this upset and frightened that I was going to kill myself. In truth, dashie was the only thing in my life that was keeping me going. I pulled the gun away from my chin and looked at it. Seeing what I was doing, I tossed it it away from me, backed away to my bed and fell onto it.

I was breathing heavily now, trying to calm down and try to collect what I just witnessed. My Dashie in spirit saved my life. My bond with her must be that strong to have us connect like that. No, that can’t be true. I know my bond with dashie is strong, but I know it can’t be that strong.

Night fell quickly through the hours after I nearly committed suicide. I didn’t bother to eat anything, or take a shower. I wasn’t in the mood to clean up or eat anything. All I did was lay on my bed and out the window. The moon was out, and at a full moon. It was beautiful, but nothing will compare to how beautiful my daughter is. The stars twinkled around, glittering in the night sky.

***

Rainbow woke up from another bad dream of her father almost committing suicide. Once more, she almost touched him, to embrace him. A frown grazing her lips. She saw his despair, his pain and loneliness ever since she left him. She would give anything to see her father once more. The cyan pegasus looked out her window, seeing night has fell. She moved her body around to face her window, eyes gazing at Luna’s beautiful moon and stars.

She remembered one night when she and her father gazed the stars on a warm summer night. Another loving memory she could ever remember in her heart, how they would point out constellations and talk, with Dash pressing against him, enjoying the love and warmth of his fatherhood. She truly missed him dearly

***

I remembered one of my memories with dashie, how we went outside one summer night to gaze upon the stars. I showed her the constellations, and talked with her. It was memorable night. I can still remember how she was up against me, snuggled so close to me, enjoying my warmth and company as a father. I remembered that night all too well. I truly miss her dearly.

***

upon the starry night, rainbow saw a shooting star fly across the sky. She remembered from her father, that seeing a shooting star, a wish of her choice might come true. She cupped her hooves together and made her wish.

***

I saw a shooting star pass by the starry night sky. I never saw one before, but it was sight to behold. I remembered that night with dashie and told her any wish of her choice would come true. I know it was crazy and stupid….but I decided to wish upon it. I cupped my hands together and made my wish, one that I always wish for.

***

“I wish to be with my daddy again…forever.” Dash whispered in a firm, but calm and honest deep emotional voice.

***

“I wish to be with my daughter again…forever.” I wished in a soft, deepening and honest tone.

***

Rainbow looked up to see the shooting star passing and disappearing in the horizon of the night. A sniff was heard from her as a tear fell, before looking up at the moon.

“Goodnight daddy…I love you.” She gave a soft whisper.

***

I saw the shooting star vanish in the sky as I made my final wish. I frowned a bit, but i made my wish, and it was a true strong one that I want to come true than any wish in my existence. I looked up at the moon again and choked on my breath to hold a sob back.

“Goodnight daddy…I love you.” I heard her voice again…my beloved Dashie. I whimpered softly as tears fell. I keep hearing her, and I miss her so much.

“Goodnight….My little dashie…I love you too.” I whimpered with a soft sob, before I fell asleep in a painful slumber.

***

“Goodnight….My little dashie…I love you too.” rainbow heard her father. his voice so broken and in pain. Her heart cracked into pieces, he was in such pain and depression, as if he’s losing the will to live. She whimpered in sadness. She can’t help him. She can’t, even if she tried her hardest.

Rainbow pulled the covers over her head and slowly fell asleep in a painful and depressing manor.

***

In the castle of Canterlot, a familiar night princess heard the wishes of dashie and the man that she calls father. In her years of being the princess of the night, these two wishes were the most strongest and most powerful she ever felt. Both of them connected and desperate to reach each other from their worlds. She’s seen Rainbow’s nightmares, and the pain of how much this man has endured for so long before he met rainbow, and how much he has to endured ever since her sister and the others brought her home.

She never believed that they have such a powerful bond, and that bond is trying to reach each other from this world and earth. It was truly amazing how hard they’re trying to reach each other that desperately. She couldn’t help but tear up and have her crystal tears fall from her blue furred cheeks. It pained her to hear their words and in hope they can survive without each other. But, this was something that they can’t do, even for dashie’s father, at the brink of nearly committing suicide. It was so horrible to have him fall to this level of depression.

“I have to do something about this….to bring them back together.” She spoke softly, but in a small saddening, and determined tone. She then vanished in the night.

Chapter 4: Depression leading further

Chapter 4: Depression leading further

Two days have passed since Rainbow returned to Equestria and a day ever since she regained the lost memories of her father. Things have not been going well since then. Rainbow refused to leave her home, neither go to work. Enduring the pain of her father no longer by her side, to hold and love, was so depressing and painful to her.

After the events of what happened with Rainbow and Twilight, she called her friends up and told them what happened. They grew shocked rainbow somehow regained her memories of the man she calls father.

“What do we know, Twilight?” Rarity asked, in hope she has a plan to fix all of this.

“I don't know, Rarity. Rainbow was very furious with me when she knew the truth. She probably won't speak to us anymore.” Twilight replied, solem and sadness dripping in her words.

“We have ta think of somethin.” Applejack replied, not wanting their loyal friend to be locked up forever.

They were all in a tight spot. They had no idea what to do. They know this was something they can’t ignore. No, they need help, and only one can do that.

“I’m afraid we to contact Celestia about this.” twilight got up and grabbed a scroll and ink pen, and started writing her letter to her mentor. “Dear princess Celestia…”

***

I woke up from my painful slumber. Darkness slowly lifting from my eyes. The morning sky was clear after the events of the rain that took place. I was about to turn over to sleep again, but then something got my attention. At the edge of my window...I saw small blurs of...colors. It was enough for me to get up from my bed and open my window to look outside. In the crisp morning air...was a rainbow..and not any rainbow...a double Rainbow. I never seen a double rainbow before...but was a sight to behold. It was beautiful...just like my daughter….Dashie.

“Dashie….” Her cries and seeing her spirit last night ran in my mind. I can’t believe I saw her, seeing her horrifying face, her tears. I didn’t know how this happened, but she saved me. Somehow...something was connecting….but what?

I didn’t have time to think this over. I have to go to work. I took a quick shower and ate an orange quickly, before locking up and driving out to begin my dull and depressing life all over again.

***

Rainbow Dash had her covers over her body and head. She didn’t bother to eat or bathe for the last 24 hours. She didn’t feel like going to work at all, not after the pain and weight of loneliness slammed on her shoulders. There was nothing she can do to help her father. In her mind, she was reaching for him, crying to him, any way to hold him in her hooves again.

She didn’t hear the door in the front of her house knock, having to have her mind lost in thought, and only thinking of her father. That was when a light flashed in her room, startling her, before seeing Celestia and her friends. A small scowl traced in her lips, seeing the ponies that tried to destroy the precious memories of her loving daddy.

“What you doing here...celestia?” Rainbow questioned, anger in her broken tone.

Celestia would figured she would be angry, after what happened from before. A sigh escapes her lips and spoke calmly. “Twilight told me what happened when you regained your memories of the man you call father.”

“And?” Rainbow was not in the mood for this, but she listened though, not like she had much of a choice anyway.

“I know you’re angry that we tried to erase them...but we were trying to do this for you. None of us wanted you in this level of pain and depression. We care for you rainbow Dash.” Celestia spoke calmly with a motherly tone.

“He IS my father and you took me away from him...think about somepony taking away your sister and erased her memories of you.” Rainbow countered her in an angry firm tone.

That statement stopped Celestia cold in her tracks. Her memories reliving the day she had to banish her sister to the moon when she was Nightmare moon. It was a painful experience for her, enduring thousand years without her. She knew what it was like to be torn from somepony that was called family...but she did it for the right cause of Equestria...and for Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow...I understand what you mean, and I know the feeling of being taken or torn by somepony you love...but I had no choice. I did what I had to do for the future of you and for that man. He said it himself, this is what he wanted for you, and I know he’s proud of you for being the mare you are now.” Celestia tried to reason with her for her explanation of what had to be done, but it didn't work.

Instead, Rainbow something that shocked the ponies, and celestia herself, something that has never been done before in all of existence.

SLAP!

Rainbow dash...the Element of Loyalty...slapped the princess of the sun in the face. Her friends gasped in total shock, seeing that their friends had such the nerves and guts to do something like that. Even Celestia was shocked herself. Her hoof holding her red cheek, looking at the infuriated pegasus in shock that she did that. In her heart...it hurt her, one of her own friends that she cares for, striking her in such a manner.

“YOU have NO idea what he is going through right now! Want to know something, PRINCESS!? he’s TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF!” Rainbow scream in her face.

Another collective gasps escaped the ponies throats. Killing himself, as in sucicide? No, that can’t be true. It’s too crazy to believe that.

“We….Rainbow, we can’t believe that.” Celestia spoke. “Listen, you believe that because of how much depression you’re enduring right now. They're just nightmares. In time, they will heal, and you won’t be as depressed as you are now, just try to relax and it will be over eventually.”

Rainbow was at her wits end with her. Neither her friends or her believed in the pain he was going through. “SHUT UP YOU HORSE!”

Her friends jaws dropped, having to say such an insult to the princess herself. Heck, even Celestia was shocked herself. She felt hurt, like something was bashing her heart. It was truly painful.

“Rainbow...please...we only want to help you.” Celestia tried to reason with her again, in hope this argument can be put to rest for good.

“Oh yeah!? Can you bring my daddy back!? Take me back to the home I grew up and belong!? Can you EVEN bring him here!?” Rainbow countered with such fury and anger. It was all she wanted, to be with her dad again. Nothing else mattered to her, not even her dream of being a wonderbolt can stand up to her most desperate wish.

“I...I…” Celestia know she can’t. It was impossible to do so.

“Come on! show me with all the magic you have to bring my daddy back to me! SHOW ME!” Rainbow kept insulting and pushing her forward. She wanted the proof that she can see her father again. Celestia’s eyes were shut tightly, her front hooves shaking a bit. She, princess celestia, was getting the biggest smackdown from one of her closest friends, and she can’t do anything about it.

“I knew it...you can’t do anything for me or him...you’re nothing...some Princess of the sun you are.” Rainbow spat at her in disgust and anger.

That was a nail to hit perfectly to Celestia. Her horn ignited, and then vanished in light, surprising the other ponies. Rainbow however, snorted, happy she broke Celestia, and was out of her sight.

“Rainbow Dash, that was all uncalled for!” Twilight snapped at her friend. It made her upset that she would spit at Celestia like that and emotionally hurt her so much.

“Uncalled for!? You or ANY of you have no place to say that!” Rainbow snapped angrily at her friend, causing them to recoil and shrink back a bit by her tone. “Can’t you all understand my daddy is going through so much depression!? No! None of you can see that! You’re all too blinded and stupid to know that! I’m the only pony that knows my father better than all of you! I heard his cries, I felt his pain, and I felt his life being eaten every day! He can’t take anymore of this loneliness, and yet none of you can understand that! NONE of you!”

“But...dashie we-” Pinkie tried to speak, but it was mistake to ever call her by that name, as it only infuriated Rainbow dash more.

“SHUT UP!” Rainbow roared in utter fury at her Pink friend. “YOU HAVE NO RIGHT OR PLACE TO CALL ME THAT! YOU HEAR ME!? ONLY MY DADDY CAN CALL ME DASHIE! YOU WILL NEVER CALL ME BY THAT EVER AGAIN!!!” she then bashed out of her room and ran off out of her house and into the sky, far far from we’re the girls were.

***

My day was totally shitty. I had to deal with some customers at my job who were mocking me, which I was used to, but when they started talking crap of my daughter, i blew a fuse and shouted at them for their disrespect about her. My boss was a nice guy and cut me off a bit, but I was still punished, which meant my next check will be cut a bit, which pissed me off. I can’t blame myself though, I had no right to yell at them for what they did, but they should be grateful I didn't rip them apart or attack them, or they would be in a hospital bed.

Finally home, I had nothing better to do. I decided to occupy myself with a photo album. I looked through the pictures of my parents and me. I missed them. They were my whole world before Dashie came into my life. When they passed, part of my own existance died along with them. I went through three albums I had, before spotting the fourth. I opened it, and saw pictures of me...and my daughter. My eyes welling with tears, while I smiled a bit, seeing the good memories we shared together for the past 15 years before she left. One pic of her taking her first bath, another on thanksgiving, one on her birthday, and even one on christmas. Each memory of her was as wonderful as the other. I came to the final picture of the album. One with her as a filly, a small note in her mouth that read ‘Hug?’ with her forearms reaching out to me, with an adorable blush and rosy bubble eyes.

I bit my lip, as tears flowed down my cheek and hit the picture. It was like she would jump out of it and embrace me. I still wanted a better life, one that I can live with, and share with my daughter, but….I can’t. Nothing will ever be possible with her now. I sob, my head resting against my arms, while I cried my eyes out. Everyday, my heart was starting to weaken, only the dreams and visions of my beloved daughter only keeping me alive and going, as of she’s begging me to live and fight forward.

I didn’t know how much longer I can fight my depression, and live without my daughter...but I hope something...or anything...can save me from my lonely and broken life.

Chapter 5: Wishes do come true

Chapter 5: Wishes do come true

A full agony week flew by for Dash after her outburst with her friends and Celestia. The young pegasus became more distant than before with her friends. Not even Pinkies parties was any help for her. All she does now, is barely eat, shower and mostly sleep through the day. She never bothered to return to work after last week with her friends, and she didn’t bother if she was gonna get fired the day she would go back. None of it mattered to her. All she wants is her daddy.

“I want my daddy....” she whispered over and over again. The pegasus was in her bed, locked up tight, preventing anypony from entering. She was in a stage of emotion she might never break out of. Her eyes were droopy, swelling and red from her crying the past week. What felt like hours, which was only a few minutes, Rainbow fell asleep once more.

(Rainbow’s dream)

Eyes opened as the cyan pegasus saw herself in a dark room, no walls, no windows, only pitch black darkness around the area of light where she stood.

“H...hello?” She was scared, and didn;t know what to do. Soon, soft echos of hooves of some sort were heard around her. “A...anypony there?” The echoes of hoofs grew louder and faster, swelling her with fear. She didn’t know what was happening, but craved for protection and comfort. Then, a small but comforting voice was heard behind her, one that made her freeze up.

“Dashie?” Her head slowly turned. Her eyes brimming with tears. The thing behind her….was her father.

“DADDY!” She screamed at the top of her lungs, tears escaping like a flash flood. Her feet moved on their own, as she ran to her father. He too ran to her, both slipping and falling, but neither stopped for anything. Close enough to each other, her dad dropped to his knees, Dash tackling him into a tight embracement, sobbing her heart out, as he hugged her tightly. She can finally feel it. All of it. His warmth, his love, his protection. She truly missed it all, and now...she can feel it once more.

“I missed you daddy.” Rainbow whimpered, nuzzling into his chest deeply.

“I miss you do Dashie.” He replied, a huge relief in his calm voice, it was as if he can finally be at rest. Rainbow kept her grip on him, never wanting to let go or be released from this welcoming warmth of love and happiness. “But why….?”

“Huh?” Confusion ripping in her mind by his question.

“Why did you leave me?” His question struck her deeply, as if he was hurt that she had to go home and leave him in his now depressed life.

“Daddy they force me.” She tried to reason with him, but then things got worse. He flew back, away from her hug like he was a ghost, his eyes no longer warm brown like she knew, but frightened when she saw a red liquid substance dripping from his eyes.

“You left me, Dashie. You left me to die alone.” He spoke in a dead full saddening emotionless tone.

“I didn’t mean to daddy. I didn’t mean to.” She started crying again, hearing his words piercing her heart.

“I’m alone...like I always am, everything I love abandons me!” He cried in agony and pain. Rainbow sobbed and tried to run for him, but then black vines shot out from the darkness, holding a tight grip on her, preventing her from getting close to him.

“Daddy I didn’t mean to! i WANTED to stay with you!” She tried to crawl and break away from the vines, but they held a firm grip on her.

“I have nothing left to live for...nothing.” To her horror, her father pulled out the 44 magnum she’s seen before and pulled it onto his neck, point blank.

“DADDY NO!”

BANG!!!

(Reality)

“DADDY!!!” Rainbow jolted up in fright, awakening from her nightmare. Her breathing heavy and thick, tears flowing from her eyes. It was frightening, seeing her father killing herself in front of her. It felt like it was her fault. She should have stayed with him. If so, he wouldn't be in this level of depression and loneliness. A whimper escaped her throat, before she curled into a ball, sobbing her heart out, her wings wrapped around her in hope for comfort, but nothing can give her the comfort her body and heart craved.

“Daddy...I miss you so much.”

***
I awoken from a horrible nightmare. It was nightfall during this time. I was with Dashie, and I was reunited with her at last. I felt her, her hug. It was so warm. I truly missed it. But then...something surged in me. I saw myself crying...blood. Vines gripping my daughter as they were keeping her away from me. I tried to regain control, but nothing. I then pulled my gun out...and killed myself in front of her.

Her cries, her screams echoed in my mind. I felt so horrible. I never wanted to hurt her, let alone abandon her like that. I was in so much agony. I cried in my knees, as I was desperate for her love and warmth that I missed dearly in my heart.

The past week for me has been rough...very rough. Everything up to this point...was pushing me to my bridge of death, but each day and night, Dashie kept me going. I needed her so much. I didn't care about anything in this world. All that mattered to me, was seeing Dashie again. I looked up at the moon, wiping my tears as I sat up.

“Dashie….My little Dashie….I miss you so much….please...if you can hear me...come back to me...I need you.” I whimpered in agony, as I felt my heart pour so much emotion in those words.

***

“Dashie...My little Dashie….I miss you so much….please...if you can hear me...come back to me...I need you.” She heard his voice once more. He was calling out to her. His voice was far more broken than she remembered. He was starting to lose his fight to live on. It broke her so badly.

“Daddy?” Her eyes looked up at the moonlight in the night open skies.

“I can’t do this anymore...I miss you everyday...all the time, I can still remember your love and joy….I should have stopped them...I should have kept you with me...I made a mistake of letting you go...please...my little Dashie...come home to me….come back to daddy...please..I need you.” His words struck her deeper and deeper. He sounded so lonely, in need of her love and happiness. Tears flowed from her rosy eyes. A sob escaping her throat. She can’t take it no longer, to hear her loving father in this much agony and pain. Her hoof reaching for the moon and stars above, as if she’s trying to reach for an invisible portal to reach his world again.

“Daddy if you can hear me i miss you.”

***

I heard it again. Her beautiful voice. It pained me to hear it, but it sparked me with signs of hope.

“My little Dashie...I wish for us to be together again...I can't live without you...I can’t...please, my only wish in all of existence...is to be with you...together and forever...” I softly spoke with tears flowing.

***

“My little Dashie...I wish for us to be together again...I can't live without you...I can’t...please, my only wish in all of existence...is to be with you...together and forever...” It was a wish from her father. The same wish she ever desired as well, the same night she saw that shooting star. She had that wish, to be with him once again and grow up as a loving family.

“Sweetie would you like to see him again?” A voice made her jump, as she sharply turned, seeing the princess of the night.

“P..Princess Luna.” A smile grazed her lips as she approached her.

“I heard and saw so much of what has happened to you, ever since your return to Equestria…” A frown forms next. “No words can tell you how sorry I am that you and your father have to live like this in such pain.”

“I miss him...All I want is to be with him again.” Rainbow sniffed, wiping a tear from her eye.

“I can help you with that my little pony.” Luna spoke, gaining Rainbows attention with shock and hope in her rosy red eyes.

“Y...you can?”

“Yes. You see, there is a legend of the moon. Every eon that comes, the ruler of the night can harness the moon's energy and allow him or her to fulfill one wish of one ponies desire. Any wish that comes to you and that you truly want, will be granted.” Luna explained with a motherly smile.

A smile grazed Rainbow’s lips. Her eyes flowing tears. This was the best news she’s ever heard in a long time. She can now be reunited with her father again. She didn't care what the consequences will be if she returns to earth to see him. It was something she was willing to take...to see her father once again.

“It’s ok little pony but i have to bring him here.” Luna informed. “But head this, once he crosses to Equestria, he will never return to his old home. He will also no longer exist on his planet, as if he never existed. Is this what you truly want for him and you?” the princess of the night asked.

Rainbow gulped, but nodded in a firm manner. She knows nothing can be undone for him now. There was nothing for him to live for on Earth. Equestria...will be his new home.

“Very well...your wish...is granted.” the moon glittered as Luna absorbed its power and a spark of light from her horn ignited and flashed.

***

I laid against my bed. I wasn't tired anymore, and I have nothing left to lose. My depression was accomplishing whatever happiness I had left, and with the reason to live on. But now, things were going to change, and for the better, as my biggest wish I ever made, was about to come true.

Out of the bloom, a portal opened up in front of me. I nearly jumped out of shock and fear to the sudden appearance of the portal. Soon, blue aura was grabbing my bags, pictures of my family, and Dashie and packed into one bag and landed in front of me. I had no idea what was going on, but then the portal shined brightly and exploded, as I felt my body being engulfed in light and...nothing.

Author's Note

sorry for the delay on this chapter. Had to deal with some things. Hope the wait was worth it.

Chapter 6: Reunited at long last

Chapter 6: Reunited at long last

My body felt so warm and calm...more calm than I ever felt before. My eyes opened, and it was pretty blurry, but I managed to rub it off, and get a good look to where I was. I was in a grassy plain. It was nightfall, so the stars and moon was out, glittering in its beauty. I had no idea where I landed, it before I could ask that myself, my body tensed and froze up, as I heard a familiar voice I knew all too well.

“Daddy?” I slowly turned around, as my heart skipped a beat, my eyes flowed with tears.

“Dashie is..is that you?” It had to be a joke. Behind me...was my daughter. I literally had to pinch myself in case if this was another dream...but it wasn’t...this was real….that...was my daughter...my little dashie. Both of us open crying, before we broke into a sprint after each other.

“DASHIE!!”

“DADDY!!” We collided into a tackle hug, both of us not even letting go for the millisecond. Her hug...it was real...all of her was real...I finally have her back...my daughter was finally back. Her warmth, her joy, her love. I kept hugging my little Dashie, not ever letting go as if she might fade from existence. She too kept that tight grip on me. Both of us relieved and overjoyed to be back together once again.

“My little Dashie….oh God...you have no idea how much I missed you.” I sobbed happily, stroking her rainbow mane.

“I missed you too, Daddy...I missed you so much...I never want to leave you ever again.” My daughter cried in my chest, nuzzling in a loving affection, showing and giving her love to me, as to how much she missed me. “Please...don’t leave me, Daddy...I love you.”

“I’m here for you sweetie, i’m here.” I cooed ever so gently. I gave my daughter a loving kiss on her head, with a smile gracing her lips by the affection of my love for her. I heard footsteps behind us. I looked back and saw Luna, the princess of the night in front of me.

“She’s the reason we’re together Daddy. She brought you here.” rainbow explained to me. I was so surprised that Luna would do this for me. I felt so relieved and honored.

“...Thank you miss. I owe you big time.”

“You don't owe me anything, human.” Luna smiled sweetly. “All that matters, is that you and Rainbow Dash are finally together again.” I was so overjoyed to her generosity, I got up and hugged her. She was off guard by this, but she smiled and returned the embracement, a sigh of thanks and gratitude for everything she did for me and Dashie. I can finally live in peace now. No longer having to deal with the utter crap back home, and I have all of my important belongings.

Breaking the hug, Luna’s horn glowed in the blue color I remembered back at my house, as it touched my head, making my body tingle.

“I gave you a cloudwalking spell, and it's permanent. Now you and Rainbow dash can live together.” Luna smiled.

“Thank you so much.”

“Of course. Now, I must return to my duties. Rest well you two.” She opened her wings and flew into the night sky. I watched her leave, before Rainbow picked me up and flew me into her house.

“Dashie?”

“Yeah daddy?”

“Boop.” I gave her a small boop on the nose, something she always loved when she was a filly. A smile grazed her lips again, before we hugged each other once more. We held the embracement for a few minutes, before sleep was in need for the two of us. Dashie took me to her room and we climbed into her bed, as my loving daughter snuggled close to me, while I wrapped my arms around her, not taking chances if this was a dream.

“Dashie..it’s been so hard for me the past week when you left...it felt like my life was almost over at the time.” I whispered, stroking her soft silky mane.

“I’m here for you, daddy.” Dashie whispered to me, nuzzling my chest in comfort.

“Oh dashie...you’re always one to make me smile.” I chuckled heartedly, kissing her forehead sweetly.

“I missed you so much, more than you ever know.” Dashie softly whispered.

“I know.” I then kiss her on the nose. She smiled before a tired yawn ripples from her mouth. I too yawned as we both got comfy in the bed and started to slowly started to descend un blissful sleep.

“Goodnight, my little dashie. I love you.” I whispered to my daughter.

“Night, Daddy. I love you to.”

(Next Morning)

Bliss...warmth...I never would have felt this much joy before, not ever since Dashie and I were separated from me. Dashie….my little Dashie. She was only thing that kept me going. The only pony who gave me a life to live for. My eyes slowly opened, the basket of warmth from the sun shining down on me. My body wrapped in a blanket of softness, and something else wrapping around my chest. Looking down...was my daughter.

It wasn’t a dream. I was finally united with her again. My heart blossoming with joy and happiness, to see and hold her again. It was a dream come true. I guess my mother was right about one thing.

Wishes can come true.

My lips grazing to a soft and warm smile. My hand moving to the back of her head, softly stroking her silky rainbow mane. Dashie stirred in her blissful sleep, nuzzling deeper into my warmth, before her eyes fluttered open, seeing those beautiful rosy orbs. She looked up slowly, as her eyes locked to me.

“Good morning, Dashie.” I gave a soft greet with my smile.

“Hi daddy.” She greeted back with a smile of her own. Her voice was no longer in her depressing manor. She nuzzled close to me, as my arms held her in a loving embrace. “I...don’t ever want to let go.”

“Shh, I’m here, Dashie. Daddy’s got you.” I replied with a coo, rocking her ever so gently in my arms.

“Daddy, can i have a hug and a kiss?” Her question made my heart melt. She was somepony I would never turn down anything for.

“Of course, my little Dashie.” I gave her a strong, but loving hug, showing her how much I loved her as my daughter, planting a sweet loving kiss to her forehead. “I will always love you forever, Dashie. I promise, we will never be apart again.” she then lick my face. She used to do that to me when she was a filly. I never minded if she does. It was a sign of gratitude and love that she cared about me.

The two of us cuddled and hugged, never bothered about how long time passed. None of it mattered to us. All we needed, was our presence and love, the few things we missed from our hearts. The feeling of my daughter in my arms was a blessing.

“I love you so much, My little Dashie. I always will.” I whispered, stroking her back ever so gently.

“I love you too, daddy.” My daughter whispered back, her cheek nuzzling my neck. “Daddy can i show you around my home?”

I smiled to her wonderful Idea. Even though I seen her home a bit and Ponyville from the show, it will be nice to see her home with my own two eyes. “I think that sounds like a wonderful idea.” That was when I heard a growl. It was her stomach. A blush of embarrassment flushed in her cheeks, as I chuckled. “I think my Little Dashie is hungry.”

“Ehehe maybe, daddy.”

“Let me make you something.” I slowly got up from the bed, stretching as my joints popped. I felt relieved. It was one of the best nights of sleep I ever had in a week, when Dashie and I were separated. Leaving her in the room for the moment, I entered the kitchen and grabbed what she had. A few eggs, carrots and other veggies that ponies will eat. It then doweled to me. I will not be eating a lot of meat now, considering meat is never used in ponyville, but I will survive without it.

A few minutes pass by, as I made my daughter an omelet, fresh squeezed orange juice, with cooked carrots, something she always loved to eat when she was a filly. I can still remember those bubbly smiles when I brought her breakfast. It always made me happy to see her with such joy. I placed her food on a tray and returned to her room, placing her breakfast in front of her.

“Thank you, Daddy.” Rainbow thanked me with a bright smile.

“Anything for you, Dashie.” I replied to her with a smile of my own, rubbing her head sweetly. Another smile gracing her lips. It made me smile as well. I love seeing her so happy. Dash ate her breakfast, savoring my cooking. I wasn’t one who was a great cook, but she loves mine, and that’s all that matters to me. As long as my little Dashie was smiling, nothing else mattered to me.

Rainbow finished up her breakfast and gave a small belch, before we both chuckled. Grabbing her plate, I placed it in the sink and cleanied it off.

“Daddy?” Dashie came from her room and next to me while I cleaned the plate and glass.

“What is it sweetie?”

“A hug daddy.” Oh, God. it feels like my heart will burst at this rate. She’s so adorable and sweet. Drying my hands off, I faced her with a smile, before embracing her with all of the love I can manifest to her.

“I love you, daddy.”

“And I love you too, My little Dashie.” I smiled with a soft coo, stroking her mane so gently, as we never wanted our hug to end.

“Daddy?”

“Yeah?”

LICK.

She caught me by surprise, giving me a sloppy lick on my face. I recoiled in surprise, my face dripping with her saliva, as she broke in a fit of laughter, holding her sides while rolling.

“Oh, wanna play like that?” I gave a smirk. Knowing Rainbow Dash, she’s always one with a time of fun and pranks. Taking the opportunity while she’s still laughing by her assault on me, I grabbed her and tossed her on the couch and tackled her, before I dug my fingers into her sides, tickling her ticklish spots.

“HAHAHAH! DADDY! NO DADDY! NOT THERE! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!” She burst into laughter, tears of joy flowing her cheeks. I missed this. I missed seeing that smile, hearing her laughter, and those tears of joy. Blossoming warmth and joy flowing in my heart. I will never go of this feeling. Chuckling, I pinned her down before I gave her one of her favorite things she likes when i tickle her. I blew into her tummy.

“Do you want mercy?” I taunted as i blew into her belly again.

“YES! YES! HAHAHAHAHA! MERCY DADDY! MERCY!” Rainbow cried in laughter. Deciding she’s had enough of my tickling assault, I let go of her as she took her breather, releasing small giggles as well. I sat next to her as I waited for her to recover in her state of bliss and happiness. Having to finally recover, Dashie crawled to me, nestling on my lap, as a smile planted on our lips, my fingers stroked her ears and mane.

“How was it Dashie?” I asked her in question.

“That was so much fun, Daddy. We haven’t done that since I was a filly.” Dashie replied with a small giggle, nuzzling my chest in affection.

“I’m happy we’re able to spend time with each other again. It felt like eons when we didn’t.” I replied with a smile.

“Yea..Daddy?”

“Yea?”

“Boop.” She bopped me this time. Oh God, my heart just exploded.

“Boop.” I bopped her back with a goofy smile. We both chuckled by our funny actions, as we both snuggled together on the couch.

“I love you daddy.”

“I love you too, Dashie. No matter how many times I say it, I will always love you.” I whispered in her ear, rubbing her back ever so gently in our embracement.

“Daddy, can we take a nap?”

“Of course, sweetie.” I was a little tired myself. Guess our playtime drained us a bit. We both shifted on the couch as my daughter nestled in my chest, as my arms wrapped around her in a loving warm protective manor. Our eyelids started to slowly drift, before we both fell into a state of blissful sleep.

All my years, my biggest wish came true. To be with my little Dashie again. No matter what happens, i will be sure to stay with her, no matter what.
