In the Rainbow Factory...

Alternate Ending

Previous Chapter

"Apology... rejected." Rainbow Dash walked down the hallways and stopped. She flew towards her office and slammed the door shut.

I'm sorry...
Friends don't kill friends...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

"Stop!" She cried, slamming her hooves onto the ground.
Memories and flashbacks began going through her head. The time she first met Twilight. When they defeated Nightmare Moon. When they saved Equestria from eternal chaos. Then there was something that stuck out to her. Mare Do Well. She had let her ego get the better of her. Her friends had just tried to help. They weren't trying to steal her fame or anything. Sure, it felt like five stabs in the back. But if it weren't for them, she might have gotten herself and somepony else in danger. Or even hurt. Rainbow Dash cringed at the final thought. She and the pony she would be trying to save might've died. She never thought she would cringe at death.

"Dash? Are you-"
"GO AWAY!!!" she yelled. Rainbow could tell Atmosphere was still outside the door. Finally, he left.

"I..."
She took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry guys. I-I went too far, didn't I."
She found the picture of her and her friends on the floor. She went over and picked it up. There was a crack directly on top of all her friends. She was the only one left. The pegasus picked up a shard of glass.

"You wanted to meet me above?" she said, looking up.
"I know you may never forgive me, but... I want to see you again."
Smiling, she looked at her office one last time.
And that... was the last thing she ever saw.


Author's Note

The alternate ending is sadder than I expected. Whatever. Sequel currently on hiatus. Link to the sequel will be here when it is finished and has been approved.
