Chapters It's Friday me and Scoots are clearing the clouds with the rest of the weather team. It was a special occasion Princess Celestia was coming to Ponyville for and 'informal' visit, but everyone knows when royalty comes its never informal. After about half an hour of clearing the skies it was finally done we celebrated, it was scoots first time on the weather team I told her she done a fantastic job but she thought she kept failing because she didn't have enough power to get rid of some fairly big clouds but not even I could do clouds that big. We had to get snowflake to do it she thought I was just pretending to not be able to do it.
"Today is the day hurry every pony we don't want to be late." said Twilight as the princess was coming
"Hun don't you think you're being a little bit of a worry wart?" Apple jack asked Twilight
"A worry wart! The princess is coming and we haven't even got the food."
"Don't you worry you silly filly, pinkie will check to see what apple bloom is doing" Pinkie Pie said as she walked in the room
"Thank you Pinkie. Now where is Rainbow? She is supposed to be back as soon as she has finished cleaning the skies." Twilight said with a frustrated voice.
Me and Scootaloo are supposed to be meeting Twi at the Library but we don't have to meet her for another hour. But i bet she is still worrying as usual when Princess Celestia comes to town.
"Dash?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yeah Scoot." I answered back
"Well um do you wanna go and uh well never mind"
"No scoot what is it?"
"Well I was wondering if you would like to go to a restaurant you know just you and me?"
"What like as friends?"
"Yeah yeah yeah as friends." Scootaloo answered back laughing nervously.
"Sure scoot I would love to let me just get some money from my house and we will go."
"This. Is. The. Worst. Possible. Thing." Rarity said
"It's not that bad" Said Fluttershy in the softest possible voice
"Not that bad! Look I screwed up the stitching. I've never messed the stitching up on anything ever."
"Would you like me to take a look at it?"
"No! If anyone is going to fix it up it will be me!"
"Okay Rarity I was just trying to help."
"I'm sorry Fluttershy its just that Twilight has such high expectations of my work and I can never mess up."
We got to my place but instead of grabbing my money I looked at scoot and she looked back I saw her eyes. Her beautiful purple eyes, her wild purple mane and her wonderful orange coat. At that point I realized that I loved that beautiful mare but I couldn't I have known her since she was just a filly it would seem wrong and I would be shunned I remember when another mare dated a pony she had known since she was a filly, she was shunned and forced out of the town but I couldn't help myself I threw my self to her. I kissed her soft lips and then I tasted what I was always longing for....love. But at that point I heard a crash. Me and scoot take a look and we saw a grey flank hanging out of rubble then a pony arose.
"Derpy what the hell." I said
"Sorry Rainbow Dash but twilight told me to get you." Derpy said
"Fine sorry Scoot but I gotta race."
And like that I was off to see what the hell twilight wanted, I'm guessing its something to do with Celestia's visit.
*Sigh* Dash just left and I'm here alone in her house. "It's a mess" I thought to myself. So I thought I would try and clean as much as I possibly could, but all that was going through my mind was the kiss that me and Rainbow Dash shared only 10 minutes ago. I stopped cleaning and flew out of the house to find Rainbow but I was called by sweetie belle. I flew down.
"Whats up?" I asked
"Princess Celestia is almost here and you haven't even gotten your dress on hurry to Rarity." Sweetie Belle
"Oh I forgot I better fly thanks for that!"
"Hello Twilight" said Princess Celestia as she exited the carriage
"Princess!" Twilight said excitedly and she hugged the princess
"So lets get this party started eh?" Said the princess
"Uh not just yet Pinkie is still getting the food from Apple Bloom." said Twilight
*Knock Knock*
"Come in." said Apple Bloom
"Oh hey Apple Bloom, Twilight sent me to get the food and lucky she did looks like you're having a bit of trouble" Pinkie Said
"Yeah thanks for the help pinkie."
"No problamo!"
"What did twilight want?" I thought to my self.
I reached Twilight and I saw her with princess Celestia.
"I'm sorry I'm late Twilight, sorry you're majesty." I said
"Its okay Rainbow." Both Twilight and the princess said
"So Twi I'm done with all the clouds and I'm about to get my dress off of rarity and I will be done."
"Well hurry and check on Pinkie and Apple Bloom they should be here by now" Twilight said as I rushed to rarity's store. I rushed to Rarity's as fast as I possibly could. As soon as I reached there I crashed through the window and saw the most awesome dress I have ever seen.
"Now lets try it on." said Rarity
"Okay" I responded
It took about 5 minutes before she got it on me right but it was so comfortable I was so happy with it.
"Thank you Rarity mind you its not as comfy as a cloud but its very close." I said
"Well thanks Rainbow i worked my flank off on that." Rarity said.
I could tell she was happy with the dress and so was Fluttershy. *BANG* we saw Derpy crash through the wall.
"How the hell do you smash through a wall?" I said
"I just don't know. But the party is about to start." Derpy said not knowing what she was talking about.
Derpy wasn't invited to the party for obvious reasons but I pleaded to Twilight to let her come but she said she would embarrass us.
We all arrived at the party at the same time. Then I saw Scootaloo I don't know if it was her or the gown but something drew me to her. The normal wild purple mane was now elegant.
"Oh hey Rainbow" Scootaloo said to me.
"Hey Scoots" I answered back
We tried to avoid the subject of the kiss, and we did very well. The party went off without a hitch, and the princess was happy with it but she kept insisting it wasn't necessary because it was an informal visit. After the party I walked Scootaloo home, I didn't like it when she walked alone at night there was some creeps in the allies who didn't bother me but they always bothered Scootaloo.
"Rainbow?" Scootaloo said "Was the kiss real or on impulse?"
"Scootaloo. It was as real as the night sky. I do love you but you know we cant be together, you know to other ponies it would be wrong since I have known you since you were just a filly." I said with the most regret i have ever felt.
"Yeah I know Rainbow I guess we have to just stay friends."
I could see her eyes watering she knew I loved her and I knew she loved me.
We didn't talk for the rest of the night. We got to her house I turned to her and kissed her on the cheek "sorry" I said. She walked in and before she closed the door she turned to me and said "I'm not". And that was the last time I saw her for months.
3 months later
I was walking down the street with Fluttershy when she turned to me.
"Have you heard from Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked
"No. Why?" I answered
"Well I heard she was coming back from Manehattan, And she will be home tomorrow."
I stood there in shock "I didn't think she would ever come back" I thought to myself.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked
"Yeah I'm just fine." I responded
*beep* *beep* There goes my alarm. Today is the day, the day Scootaloo comes home. I flew as fast as my wings would let me I could see the train. The doors opened and there she was the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria.
"Scoot?" I said
"Rainbow!" Scootaloo screamed. She tackled me down and bear hugged me.
"To tight." I said
"Oh sorry."
"So how have you been Scoot?"
"I've been great Rainbow."
"Make any friends?"
"Well yeah I met a guy and we started dating and..."
"And what tell me."
"We're getting married!"
At that point my heart sank and I couldn't speak all I heard from her was well nothing I couldn't bare her loving anyone else.
"Rainbow are you okay" Scootaloo asked
"Yeah it's just that I thought we had something."
"Yeah we did but like you said we could never be together."
"Yeah you're right."
"You sure you're alright?"
"Yes I'm just fine."
She told me everything and by everything I mean EVERYTHING I couldn't bare it any longer so I said I had to do a job for the weather team, she seemed to believe me so I flew off.
I was sitting at home crying my eyes out at the thought I could never be with her. *Knock* *Knock* I open the door and it was Scootaloo. She was looking at me with those big beautiful purple eyes.
"Rainbow I do love you, I love you with all of my heart, I always have and I always will." Scootaloo said. After that she left, I closed the door and sat back down beginning to cry again. My crying lasted until I went to bed but it was hard to sleep all I could thing of was "Who is this colt she fell in love with". I eventually fell asleep but my dreams were all about Scootaloo well what I can remember of them. The next morning the weather team was scheduled to clear the cloud's for a nice sunny day. I met up with the rest of the weather team in the town square, we started flying and we got the job done within 5 minutes.
After a few hours I decided to go and talk to Scootaloo, so I flew to her house I knocked on the door but no answer so I knocked harder still no answer I then began to scream out her name but still no answer. I smashed her window and there she was on her bed crying.
"what wrong squirt?" I asked
"Nothing and I told you not to call me that anymore." she responded
"no really whats up?"
"I lied"
"about what?"
"I'm not getting married I lied about it all."
"why would you lie?"
"I didn't want you to be kicked out of ponyville if we ever got together."
"Scoot. I wouldn't care if Celestia banished me to the moon our love will go on forever."
"So I guess that means we are together?"
"Yes Scootaloo thats exactly what it means."
"Are you serious!"
"Yes I Scoot."
Scootaloo then started to fly and with the most beautiful smile she turned to me and kissed me. My wings fluttered, my face blushed time stood still and it felt like my heart stopped then we heard a knock at the door, it was Twilight Sparkle.
"Hey Rainbow, Scootaloo, I was just wondering if you confirmed the location of your wedding?" Twilight asked with a smile
"Actually I'm not getting married now." Scootaloo answered
"What! Why what happened?" Twilight asked
"Well I was never getting married."
Twilight was shocked she walked out the house I don't know why though I think it may have been because Scootaloo said she could be a bridesmaid.
It has been nearly a week since me and Scoot got together and we still haven't told anypony but believe me we have tried on more than one occasion. We then heard a knock on the door it was Applejack.
"Oh hey Applejack." me and Scootaloo said "Is there something you needed?"
"well I was wondering is there something you have been keeping from the rest of us?" Applejack asked
"uhm well you see me and scootaloo..."
"what is it?"
"Me and Scootaloo are sort of." I hesitated for a second "dating."
2 months, 1 week and 4 days that's how long I have been put to shame by all of Ponyville even Fluttershy I thought out of everyone she would be the most caring but she was the most harsh mostly because she told me i was dead to her but being with Scoot makes up for all of that. Today we were going to go to the beach but when we got there all pony's seemed to do was stare at us with judging eyes which felt like they burned a hole in my heart but Scootaloo turned to me and kissed my forehead that is what made it all better, after that we just decided to stay at home and cuddle on the lounge with a big cup of coco each we both thought i was one of the most romantic things ever. After about and hour of talking out comes tank it looked like he had been walking for days but he wasn't because i checked on him only 10 minutes ago and he was in the next room.
"Whats up tank?" I asked. Tank looked at his empty food bowl "Ah I see what you want." Scootaloo giggled at tank struggling to keep up with me while i was going to put more lettuce in his bowl. I fed tank and sat back down with the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria than she asked me a question I never expected.
"If you had to choose would it be me or the wonderbolts?" Scootaloo asked
"Scoot if I had to choose" I said "It would be you all the time every second of all of my lifetime it would be you and nothing can surpass my love for you, I love you Scootaloo." And that was the first time since we got together that said I loved her.
"I love you to rainbow." And wen she said that I knew everything was going to be fine.
We decided to take a hike today with my old pal Gilda who surprisingly was the only other creature (besides tank) who didn't mind mine and Scoots relationship.
"See Dash, told you those pony's were all a bunch of dweebs didn't i?" Gilda asked
"Yeah Gilda you were right ll along I don't know why I didn't listen to you before." I said
"Me either now lets keep going unless you're to chicken" Gilda then ran up the trail and was out of our sites not long after. Me and Scoot decided to walk slowly I wasn't in the mood for a race I just wanted to spend time with Scootaloo. The hike was fun for a while then we saw a bunch of other ponies all they did was harass us and throw food at us calling us horrible names that I won't even mention so we just decided to fly home and Gilda went home as well. When we got home me and Scoot couldn't decide what to do then she looked at me.
"You think we should?" She asked I knew exactly what she meant so I nodded.
Scootaloo and I woke up in the morning with messed up manes and the sheet were screwed up on the floor. Scootaloo got out of bed and started to make breakfast and she was making pancakes (My personal favorite) it smelt so good I couldn't resist rushing down stairs and grabbing a plate, knife, fork, some butter and syrup.
"Hope you enjoy your breakfast Rainbow after all its for a special occasion." Scoot said
I couldn't think what this special occasion was, then it came to me 'shit' I thought its our 3 month anniversary and i didn't get her a gift.
"It's okay Rainbow i know you forgot I'm fine with it I don't need a gift." Scoot said
"No no no I will get you the greatest gift anyone would ever give you in your life." I said
I rushed out the house to find something nice for scoot, maybe a dress? No, she doesn't like formal attire just like me. Maybe a necklace? No she wouldn't wear it. I know! Earrings it's perfect. I rushed to the closest jewelry store and bought the most expensive ones I flew back home and gave Scootaloo the earrings. "Happy Anniversary." We said to each other.
-3 years later-
It has been 3 years since me and Scoot got together and we are still going strong even most of Ponyville have come to grips with the relationship. But I'm afraid that tank passed a few months ago, it was a freak accident we were flying around when his propellers screwed up and he went crashing to the ground we had a big funeral for him also Gilda moved far away and i haven't seen her in almost 2 years. It is also our anniversary and we were going out on a big date so i had to get everything organized I have to pick up my dress from Rarity and make dinner reservations in 2 hours. I was really missing Scootaloo but I knew I would see her tonight and it was coming up fast so I rang the restaurant and made a reservation and I picked up my dress from Rarity with out any worry. I got to the restaurant and sat down waiting for Scootaloo there were some pony's looking at me and then she came in with a beautiful dress on. We had dinner and spoke for a bit and i turned to her and with out hesitation I said
"will you marry me."
"yes I will Rainbow Dash". Scootaloo said
We kissed and the crowd applauded us. We walked out the happiest we have ever been and that was the moment I knew I would never be alone. We started to walk back to my place without a care in the world and this night could never get any better. We got back to my place and we threw our dresses on the ground and started to kiss I pushed her on the bed and the rest well you get the idea
'yes' that's whats she said 'yes' I couldn't believe it me, Rainbow Dash was engaged to the love of my life Scootaloo. I just woke up and that was the first thing on my mind and was the only thing for ages until I got up and decided to go for my usual morning fly I kissed Scootaloo's head who was lying next to me in my bed and flew out the door. The day looked pretty clear so I tried out some new tricks out the first one I tried I call the hoop de loop but I hurt myself trying it so I unlike myself gave up on it. I wandered around Ponyville for a while and not knowing why I couldn't continue I have never done that in my entire life why would I give up. But after a while I stopped thinking about it and went to visit Fluttershy. I knocked on the door and she opened it, she rubbed her eyes, she must have just woke up.
"Oh hey Rainbow." Fluttershy said in a soft voice
"Hi Fluttershy." I replied
"Whats up?"
"I have great news." Fluttershy fluttered her wings
"Oh I love great news, tell me what is it?"
"Me and Scoot are getting married."
"OH MY GOSH are you serious?"
"Yes I proposed last night and she said yes!"
"I am so happy for you."
"And I came over to ask will you be my mare of honor?"
"Of course I Rainbow I would be honored."
We spoke for a while about the wedding and what she thinks I should do and then I left. I decided to have a little fly around Ponyville it seemed as if the world was better since the big 'yes'. I flew to the rest of the gangs houses and asked them if they would be bride mares and the all happily said yes.
It has been 2 months since me and Scoot got engaged and today might be the worst day ever, today granny smith died. It was earlier this morning when Big mac came to the door I asked him what he wanted but he broke into tears before he could say anything so Apple Bloom came from behind and told me she said it was a heart attack, they said she passed peacefully. After Apple Bloom told me I closed the door sat down and was in shock for hours but the realization never hit me, but when it did all I could do was cry and be angry. I had no idea why I was angry but I was it may have been because she has been like a mother to me. Scootaloo ran through the door with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay Scoot she is in a better place." I told her but it didn't seem to do anything to help at all. We sat there for a while talking about the fun moments with granny smith then Scootaloo said "You think the wedding will still be the same?"
"Of course it wont be but she will be looking down on us and she will be smiling." That settled her for a bit.
Today is the day of Granny Smiths funeral, I flew there with Scootaloo with my shades on so nopony could see my crying eyes. When we arrived I walked to Applejack and hugged her and walked inside. We found a seat, it was a big turnout it was from Derpy to Princess Celestia. Everyone was crying even the Princess, the priest walked up to the podium and began the service.
"I never got to know Granny Smith but I wish I had. Now we shall have a moment of silence. Now I think her grand daughter would like to say a few words." the priest said
"First I would like to thank everypony for coming to this funeral. Granny Smith was the kindest old mare in all of Ponyville. She would have gave her left hoof for this town. Now she is gone and Ponyville will never be the same. Sweet dreams granny." Applejack ended her speech with tears. She sat back in her chair and the funeral was continued.
"Let us go and put Granny Smith in her final resting place." The priest said
We walked out to the graveyard and she was buried and that was that the day continued but we didn't do our usual things we sort of just sat in the house doing nothing but thinking of everything.
Two months till the wedding and we are practically done preparing we have the caterers (the Apple family) the church (in Canterlot) we got the Canterlot castle to host the reception and Rarity to make the dresses. And today is a special day, its Scootaloo's birthday and I already have her gift. I got her a pet, she always said she wanted a kitten so I went to Fluttershy and she had one that I know Scoot will love. I got to Fluttershy's house and picked up the kitten. I flew back home and saw a shadow in the house, Scootaloo was up. I came through the back door so she wouldn't see me, I snuck up behind her put the kitten down while it was in a cage and told her to keep her eyes shut and turn around, when she did I told her to open them and gave the kitten to her. She slowly took her and looked at her, Scootaloo had the cutest smile I had ever seen in my entire life. "Happy birthday Scoot" I said to her, she kissed me and we played with the kitten for a while until we all got tired and fell asleep.
The big day is tomorrow, when me and Scootaloo get married. Following tradition Scoot is staying at her old house so we don't see each other until the wedding. It has been a long day, Muffins (the cat) clawed up all my new blankets also Twilight got sick and said she couldn't come to the wedding. I told her we would miss her there.
Its now only 12 hours until the wedding and I cant sleep so I took few sleeping pills and they knocked me right out. My dream last night was weird, we were at the wedding and me and Scoot just kissed and the whole place started to shake and it was the wonderbolts, they came in and told me to choose between Scoot or them, then I woke up.
"Stop moving Rainbow I'm trying to put your dress on you." Rarity said in an annoying tone.
"Whatever just hurry up I don't want to be late." I said back
"Don't worry about it you will be ready in no time."
She was wrong about that, it took and extra 30 minutes but we got to the church in time. I was standing there waiting for the music to start, and when it did I saw the most beautiful sight in my entire life, I saw what true beauty was I saw Scoot in an amazing gown. It was a pure white dress with a beautiful tiara, it it too beautiful to explain. When walked up the isle and got to me I looked into her eyes and started to cry with joy.
"Everypony, we are gathered here today to bring Rainbowdash and Scootaloo together. Would you now like to recite your vows?" The princess asked
"Yes. Thank you. Rainbow, the first ever time I saw you I loved you. For years you were my big sister, but now you are my wife. When I started to love you in this way the world seemed happier. Without you the world would be full of black white and grey rainbows and my heart would be full of lonliness, I would never be able to be the mare I am without you, and for that I say thank you, and I love you." Scootaloo said with tears of joy
"Scoot you are the mare every pony would want. You are kind, sweet, funny and not to mention beautiful.I have always thought you were amazing, but it was only when you became a full grown mare that i realized you were beautiful. The world has been made for me and you. I thought meeting the wonderbolts was the greatest day of my life, but I was wrong today is the greatest day, I could not ask anymore from you and please know that no matter what happens, even when we are gone and our children remain, I will still love you, from now until eternity." I said with more tears than before
"Well then i now pronounce you wife and wife you may now kiss the brides."
That was the most passionate kiss I have ever had.
.
As I walk down my hall I remember the memories we shared, the memories of us being together, the memories of our children growing up. Rainbow Dash is gone and I am 85 years old so it wont be long until I am to, as I walk through memory lane I remember the day we adopted out first child, his name is Shooting Star, he is now captain of the wonder-bolts just like Dash was when she was youthful. When we adopted him it was a cold rainy day, we flew to the orphanage and met the children, it was hard for us to choose, mostly because they were all perfect, but we chose the most quite pegasus. When we took him home he was so scared Dash thought it was the cutest thing ever. But that is over now and he is a big shot, I haven't seen him for 3 months he didn't even turn up to Dash's funeral.
As I started to look through pictures of our other child Sunshine Delight, I began to think of the first Christmas we had as a family. It was snowing, Twilight and her filly's came over for Christmas but her husband was at work. We sat around the table and started to eat the food, Sunshine was still a filly and got all of her food on her face, we all started to laugh at the sight, I ended up cleaning it off after we tried to stop Dash from rolling on the ground in tears from laughter. We then sat by the fireplace, the filly's fell asleep, so it was just me, Twilight and Dash awake. We spoke about the times when I was still a filly and Dash was raising me, I smiled at the thought of that Dash was there for me all the time.
I found an old feather of Dash's and cried, it smelt like her, it felt like her but it wasn't her. When she died all I done was well nothing, I didn't eat, sleep or talk for 2 weeks. I couldn't cry, no matter how much I tried, they were just dry tears. I think the pony who took it the hardest though was Sunshine, Dash was always there for, she never let her get into any trouble. She cried for months about it.
As I continue I feel a sudden pain in my chest, I collapse, as I lay there I see Sunshine walk through the door and stop in shock, she calls the ambulance. When the ambulance got there they rushed me to the St Rarity hospital. They put me in a room trying to resuscitate me the room gets dark, I feel the coldness taking me and there she is looking down at me, my Rainbow Dash as youthful as the first day we kissed, the darkness takes over I the flatline for a second, I am dead. I wake up on a cloud I look to the left of me and I see Rainbow Dash waiting I run to her. When I finally reach her I see that she is young, she holds up a mirror and shows me my face, I am also youthful. We kissed and I felt that same spark as I did the first time we kissed. She looks me in the eyes and says "Now we can be together forever."
THE END
