Canceled for good: making new fic

A group of three travellers approached the gate. They wore tattered robe and hoods. The guards saw that they were rather young, an earth pony, pegasus and unicorn together. "Woah now, young ladies. You lot have any buisness here?" he asked them with a raised eyebrow. One of them looked up, the unicorn. "No, just passing through. Maybe a place to stay for the night." she said, looking up.The guard seemed to study her intently, but one of them piped up. "Who's flank to I have to kick to get the damn gate open, huh!?" the pegasus said, stepping forward. The guard looked up, startled. "Oh, yeah. Lemme get that." he said, and trotted back towards the lever.

Dash saw different. She sat atop the watch tower, staing at the trio of adventureres with a hawk's eye.They looked lost, alone. But Dash had a responsobility in the city, to guide any newcomers to wherever they're headed. As much as she hated talking to randoms, she knew it was her job, and lept off the tower, nosediving for the ground. Headed straight for the hapless three of them, she pulled up at the last second, sending a gust of wind across the dead ground. "Greetings and wecome to the worst hellhole you'll ever have the misfortune to come across in the plains. Now, all I need are your names to write down in the roster and I can get back to napping." The three of them didnt move, staring at her. "Well, are we just going to stand in this akward trance, or should I make sure I don't have a tentacle growing out of my ear?" she said, growlooking at them expectantly. One of them stepped forward, slowly but surley. "You can't be..." she asked, taking her hood off.

What Rainbow Dash saw hit her with the inimaginable force of the flashforward. What she had come to know, and see on an almost daily basis had been forever changed. Scarred, burned forever by the plains. The deep purple eyes were older, hardened. They saw things unseeable, that have probably taken their tool on the yound mare. She was beautiful amidst her rough appearence: Tattered robes, bruises, cuts. But one thing stuck out to her. The bloody, bandage, bruised stump of a wing. "Scootaloo?" she asked, almost a whisper. "What? You though a changeling navy radiating all of Equestria, reanimated, bloodthirsty corpses, an ENTIRE WAR, and these two would keep me down?" she asked, cocking her head back to the others. They took their hoods off, and Rainbow instantly was teleported thirty or so years back, to the young fillies they were when she met them. "You guys.... Whee have you been for the past twenty years!?" she asked in disbelief. She hugged them all, resisting the tears that came back, along with a wave of memories. "Hey, let's get you guys inside. I'll let you guys crash at my place, follow me." she said, trotting up an alley way. They climped some stairs, until they came to a door at the end of a long halway. "Ok, you guys just... make yourselfes at home. I'm going to get the others, they're gonna want to see you." she said, pushing the door open."Okay. And Rainbow!" Scootaloo called out. "Thanks..." she said. she nuzzled her head against Rainbow's neck. Scootaloo could feel her heartbeat. A comforting sound that made her feel better, despite everything that's happeed to her. "it's no problem Scoot. I'll be back in just a flash, though." she said, lifting her head back up. They smiled, and Dash took off. Scootaloo walked back into the rioom, and got her first real look around. The shelves were lined with tools, survival items and such.  Applebloom said from behind her. Scootaloo gave a backwards glance to her tall, but well-built freind. Except she wasn't a freind. No, They were all sisters. And Scootaloo couldn't think of them any other way.

Twilight was just getting checking off her list of things to do for the day. (Some things never change.) Food was sparse, and anything of tolerant quality had an infuriating price tag. But Twilight being the saver she always was, she could usually get unradiated food. Usually. She was just getting ready to walk out her door, when it burt open in front of her. She looked up startled, and her eyes fell upon her Cyan pegasus friend. "Hey, we have some visitors. Listen, go get AJ and Rarity, i'll get Pinkie. Bring everypony to my room, ok?" she asked. Twilight took a minute to react, but nodded and dropped her list. 'I guess getting food can wait until tomorrow...' she thought to herself, and went out to find her targets. Applejack was in her market stall, making a transaction with a unicorn Twilight recognized. Blue coated, with a darker and lighter blue mane. But it didn't matter to her. "Applejack, you need to go up to Rainbow's room. She says we have visitors." Twilight said. Applejack flagged down a passerby, who Twilight supposed was a freind of hers. They exchanged a few words, and Applejack headed off with Twilight. "Well howdy to you, too..." she said, a hint of sarcasm in her country twang. "Oh, sorry Applejack. I'm just a bit confused as to who out 'visitors' are Rainbow told me about." she explained, walking up the street. "Aw, it's no problem." Applejack replied, giving Twilight a light bump on the shoulder They passed by shops of every sort, ranging from taverns to armorers. They walked until they finally came across the shop they were looking for: The sign read 'Rarity & Sister Outfitters' but the sister had been crossed out. Every time that topic was brought up by a customer, Rarity seemed to hide the depression Twilight knew that brought her. They walked in, and the bells on the door clinked, a pleasent sound amond the rough waves of chatter and trotting. "Just a minute, please!" a voice called from the back, and Applejack walked up to the service counter. "Rarity, it's me and Twilight. Rainbow has everypony going up to her room, she says we all have visitors." Applejack explained. "Oh dear. It's probably one of her Pegasi Corps freinds. Drunken braggart, i'll bet." she said. "Not having a good day..." Twilight whispered to Applejack. AJ let a small chuckle and nodded knowingly. "Okay, girls, let's go." she said, walking out from the back. Twilight led them out of her shop, and Rarity locked the door behind them, and they began the walk to Rainbow's room.

          Rainbow darted through the city with speed unmatched by anything in all Equestria. A jet stream formed behind her as she found her way to the bakery, the one place where everypony knew to find the pink earth pony. Rainbow slowed down and entered the small shop. Immediately, the smell of baking cookies and cakes filled her nose with such a rich smell. Behind the counter stood the worlds most renown sweets eater, baker, and party thrower. But she wasn't the same, not by far. Her once cotton mane was deflated, and her coat was a much darker shade of pink. "Oh, hello Dashie. What can I get ya?" she asked, eager to serve. "nothing today, Pinkie. I DO need you to meet me at my house. We have some special guests." Pinkid nodded, and trotted out the store with Rainbow, headed to the others. They could both spot Rainbow's house: it was the tallest tower, and also served as the watchtower. Even if Dash wasn't in tower itself, She was always looking out, as if expecting something...
